June Grouch! Lazy doctors?

2024-06-25T02:08:00.000-07:00

Doctors do not examine one as they used to in the past .They ask you whats wrong and just treat one for that ailment. I was

getting bad stomach pains and could not stop vomiting at each incident. The private doctor dismissed it at the first visit as seasonal stomach flu. At the second visit he took blood samples but never examined me physically, then announced it was an ulcer and Iwas awash with gunk for acidity!I protested i was not acid but no avail!Turns out it was a hernia and this could be seen if they had totally undressed me ,my intestines came thru a hole on my left side of my body. Fine now,with a brace!

My latest grouch !

2024-03-01T05:53:00.000-08:00

Many people are now syndrome mad! Especially females. Seems to be a trend when going to the doctor .Also one upmanship! Little do they realise that no one knows what the hell is wrong with them!

As an example COXSACKIE is now flung about and is quite common. Then the poor doctor has to invent a deviant different one to please these up-market crowd.

Little do these morons realise that SYNDROME means A COMBINATION OF OPINIONS,EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOUR!

E-Nuff !!!

No year end is complete with out Turkey, Fruit Cake, assorted Nuts. That decribes my family ! Nuff said!!!

Naomi's children said come to our house whilst we go away. Use everything and relax!

Turns out we were baby sitters for nine dogs. Two in front ,two at the back and five in the house! Large dogs front and back of house, five naughty small dogs in the house, and problems when they move into the wrong zone. Naomi cleaning up poo at 3 am in the morning! Anyway once bitten twice shy!

We need a holiday now to recover!

When-----

2022-07-27T09:55:00.001-07:00

Memories come and go at my age! I do remember though when a teenager it was important always to add to my age, if asked by some one whats my age i would proudly say sixteen and a half or seventeen and three quarter,or what ever was my age was ,plus,plus !

When an adult parts of a year really did not matter any more ,of course!

I was highly amused at myself yesterday as when asked by some one ,how old I was,said off handidly eighty three,then remembered that was not completely right and then added three quaters of a year! Stupid really but with all the trails and tribulations one has to go through at this age,i suppose I feel lucky to be alive!

IRRITATIONS !

2019-01-26T01:10:00.001-08:00

1. When the doorbell or land line telephone rings and I am busy in the office ,I rush to answer it.
When I return to the office ,first question ,where the hell did i leave my glasses? Retrace my steps,have to think about it ,eventually dejectedly end up at my desk and there they are!
2. Beware of advertisements that say " An experience never to be forgotten !"
Right they never added it could be very unpleasant ,did they? Obviously my fault for being naive !
3,The What's App craze amongst older people !
Really seem to want to send and receive ,good morning and good night every day even from complete strangers !
4.What Applications send a religious message or two,follower by the dirtiest of jokes! Really this does not wash!

A HUSBAND !

2018-06-23T08:52:00.000-07:00

What does this term mean to one partner ,besides the obvious of being cleaved together?
It's a very useful term to a wife,even mine!
Naomi is a very independent person and that is what attracted me to her in the first place,but if she is approached by any one for something she does not want and she does not know how to brush them off then i'm a useful tool. She will then tell them them "I'll have to ask my husband first !"

MINING TO BE INVIGORATED IN SOUTH AFRICA !

2018-06-01T03:35:00.000-07:00

Anglo Plats has given $60 million as well as the government its blessing to do research at their mining precinct facility into all aspects of fuel cell manufacture as well as use.
The whole supply will be investigated up to users.
This bid is also encouraged by the chamber of mines.
At its height many years ago this facility was a world leader with hundreds of skilled people working there. Now with start up again there will be about one hundred workers with scientists on site.
Why should this facility in South Africa be so important above the rest of the world,is a frequently asked question ?
The answer is that we in the past hundred years supplied two thirds of the gold ever found in the world, from our mines. Our mines are amongst the deepest in the world ,some going down between four to six miles !
Slopes underground are as sharp as 22 degrees. At the moment rubber tires can only work in 16 degree slopes. Experiments will be carried out using steel tracks ,of the vechicles ,even it has been suggested top and bottom against the walls, of the tunnels!

Getting Older I think!

AT 79 had glaucoma in one eye,very painful. Better now but they refuse to operate to remove cataract ,with the excuse i must wait six months to be certain condition does not recur.
Luckily the other eye has lenses implanted and cataract removed several years ago! Put me off my entries for a couple of months,luckily Naomi helped out.

GOING FORWARD !

Our muncipality has not payed its electricitry bill to the power utility, although we buy and pay ahead for cash from the muncipality . So Escom has partly cut supplies to our town hurting business no end. They use the payments to pay the bloated additional staff usually family members . The other day after a long strike ,I reported that had returned to work and a neighbour remarked " How can U tell ? "

Serious matters
There has always been "Climate Change "since the world was first formed. I hate blaming every event upon this phenomina.
Britian recently sent an expedition to the South Pole and drilled deep into the earth beneath the ice and ground beneath. There they found that there have been at least six very
much warmer periods over millions
of years. They even dug up sea creatures fossils which lived in warmer waters. So the South pole had at least a temperate climate from time to time!
Another of my grouches is that one major volcano erupting produces about the amount of carbon dioxide as the human race in a year.
As we enter a warming cycle it would be good to get our facts correct and not waste
trillions to keep to try and keep the teperature the same.

Of course one must keep the green house gasses in check where one lives as dust can cause many diseases.
The word global warming has now been replaced by climate change!
We predict that the world is actually cooling and this is a result of the sun entering a cooler stage which last for the next half centuary ,also super volcanoes are like to blast ash almost th the edge of our stratosphere cooling it further.
As we loose tons of atmosphere as we whirl round the sun this will slow this process down giving oxygen a chance to recover which will help to save the earth life awhile longer.
We have to lower our breeding as over population is the biggest threat to our life styles,so many challenges remain.

Not a morning person!

2017-08-11T03:57:00.001-07:00

I'm usually awake around 3 am every morning and get up for personal needs and running repairs!
How ever when greeted by some friendly folk who are then going to work with a "Good Morning'" i usually reply they say with a hrumff!! which they then regard as unfriendly. Really i'm not awake and will easily fall asleep thereafter and forget the whole incident ,difficult to explain later tho!

SEVEN DAYS......

Seven days with out laughter makes one weak !

You cannot motivate the best people with money. Money is the way they keep score. The best people are motivated by passion alone!

Life is what happens while you are making other plans!

Why is it that ones grand children fourteen year olds try to teach one how to drive ? After all they don't posses a license yet and we can remember when they were still in liquid form in their parents. Obviously we still love these little shits, damn !

The Doctor....

2013-09-14T07:35:00.000-07:00

asked me after my check -up how I remained so fit for an eighty year old? I told him that I drink two glasses of wine every morning,smoke a cigar and enjoy a round of golf with my father of a hundred years and grandfather of one hunderd and twenty years, except that my grand father was not playing with us this week as he was getting married."Good heavens at a hundred and twenty and he still wants to marry !" exclaims the doctor.I replied "Who said he wants to get married!"

REMEMBER TO LIVE BY THIS MOTTO:
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body,but rather a sideways skid,chocolate in one hand,wine in the other,body thouroughly used up,totally worn out and screaming "woo
hoo! what a ride" - Naomi

Laziness is the only commodity that even a millionaire can not afford!

Life goes on,as we find if we make an effort we have got the time to do the things we have to.I make a list of the essential things I have to do,then scratch off the items as they are done.I usually loose the list before I am finished,there by avoiding the most onerous tasks!
My neighbour decided he would put wood between his pallisades to make his yard more private.I decided that I would assist him as he had no one to help him.The first lesson we learnt was that neither of us are thirty years old any more.It took us two exhausting days to finish.Looks professional.He was supposed to help me do the same at my house,how ever we have decided to wait at least a month to recover fully!

If u are wondering what M T stands for see last months title.
I own the 1949 version of the "shorter Oxford Dictionary".Its over a thousand pages long,diffficult to handle.Now I wonder what the longer Oxford Dictionary was like?

Well the thought that comes back to me now is that "COMMON SENSE" is not that common.Why start a blog with this sentence. You might wll ask ,but when I read or read about the really stupid things people do at times,one wonders what possesed them !
Well speaking of which ,its amazing how some of the populace of the world went to pieces about the "end of the world" which was supposed to have taken place on the 12/12/2012 !
Of course are we missing the point ,as each second past is the end of the world as such will never occur again!So we should enjoy everything as far as possible and surround ouselves with serenity and positive thoughts.

October Update

2012-10-06T05:22:00.000-07:00

In China and Japan manufacturing is slowing appreciatably.This is leading to them using less pretroleum products.This is likely to finally have an effect upon pretroleum prices with a downward bias in a couple of months time if not sooner!
