These days all we hear about is the coming change to tv everywhere. The digital change is coming, the digital change is coming, the sky is falling. OY VEY.

If people do not know about it by now, they must not watch tv at all. We have the converter box. The signal is not all that however. When we first tried it out, w got 15 stations. The picture kept breaking up and freezing, so we disconnected it and went back to the regular way of watching tv. Our favorite station was down for 2 WEEKS, so we tried the box again. We only got 3 stations this time, what gives? I heard that the digital change was supposed to be good - I can’t see it myself. ;/

have you ever noticed how people make a lot of strange noisec?

One major noise can be a warning of bad things to come - I’m talking about farts here! I hate the silent fart in an enclosed space, because you have no warning. The person who did it knows. At least the noisy fart gives you a warning of bad things to avoide. You know where the smell could be lingering and can avoid it.

I have heard of people who spontaneously explode into flames. I always figured they were people who tried to avoid farting. After all the gas that people make is methane, it is very flamable and explosive. Some people when burping, actually most people, will try to be silent. Some will hiss, almost as if they don’t like what they ate. Some will just burp and get it over with. Then there are those that make so much noise that you might think they need a bib.

Yes, what I’m talking about here is uncouth, it happens. I have never met a single person who hasn’t had trouble with gas of one sort or another in their lives. I have even met people who have rumbling inside of them that can be heard across the room.

Why does society have hang-ups about biological functions? I mean, everybody does it, don’t they?

My husband and I are concerned for our brother. He is in the Dallas VA in the TCUB. He has cancer, congestive heart failure, and blood clots. he says that he hasn’t been getting straight answers from any one. He is also concerned that the man he had been renting from was ripping him off.

The man has claimed Sonny’s van and his pets as his own. He claims that Jesse gave him the van, then he claims that he bought it, then he claims that it was traded for a motorcycle, then he claims that it doesn’t run. We can’t get a straight answer from him in any way shape or form. Prayers are needed.

Please pray for: James Moore (aka Jesse Two Moons)

I live in Texas. There is a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico headed to my state. The hurricane’s name is IKE. So far, it has hurt other places and people.

There storm warnings out for the coast of Texas. Smart people in the path of the storm have already left or are packing. I figure that in spite of what happened with Katrina, there will be some who do not realize just how destructive that wind and water can be.

The Grand Canyon here in the USA was created by wind and water. The stunami that killed so many was from water. Tornadoes are from wind. The damage that they do is well documented. With such a possibly dangerous storm headed towards this state, I wish that people would take the storm warnings seriously.

The outskirts of any hurricane can create tornadoes. so not only would there be wind and water from the hurricane, but also extra damage from a possible tornado. From personal experience, I KNOW that the presence of a tornado interferes with the reception in a cell phone. There isn’t any, no signal. Even landlines can be brought down.

Please take the storm warnings to heart, Please use caution.

Well, I just spent the last couple of hours changing out my computer speakers. YUK

I know, I know, that is not a very specific description . Well, it fits how I felt. The speaker that I had before would give a little sound. Just enough to let me know that there was some sort of sound with what ever I was looking at. Tried to get something better, but kept having problems. I took apart a different speaker that had been used on a Mac computer, it had special hook-ups that were computer specific. One of the speakers could be used by itself on my husband’s computer. The other one had the special connection.

I removed the extra chip board that had been in there and made it into a plain speaker. The only trouble was that the speaker itself was really weird looking. Instead of having the regular back, it had a really big metal covering. I had no idea what is inside, so I changed the individual speaker itself out to a different one. I liked the speaker box because it would fit nicely on the top of my tower. I finally got it all changed. I have some sound. Not as much as I would like, but my computer is not as quiet as before. I would call that success. Don’t you think so?

Well, the bingo players across the street have all gone home. I was stumbling on the computer when my sister in Arkansas sent me a site called Bored.com.

By the way, she told me she was bored. She has been recovering from a spider bite and other things which have happened. Her blog - Off The Cuff - talks all about it. It is part of my blog roll. Any way, the site had lists of things to look at that can be fun to read, play, etc.

I got curious and connected to people who got fired. OY VEY some of the things they did were unreal. I can understand why some of them were fired. Others, well, I hope they found better jobs.

Does any one remember a story by George Orwell called 1984?

IT IS HERE. The RFID chip is Big Brother of the nightmare.

Have no doubt. In the book, the government has the thought police to make sure that the citizens get no freedom at all. For the ‘thought police’ think of the ‘politically correct police’ and what they have done to our supposed freedoms. Christmas scenes are not allowed on public property. Kids are not allowed to pray. Freedom of speech is not so free any more.

Now the government wants the RFID chip to follow everything and everyone. If I want to go to the bathroom and pass gas, I do not want someone knowing this and knowing my every move. If I want to hang out with friends, I do not want them to be harassed and followed with their every move, too.

So far, tracking information is used to ‘prevent’ shop lifting in stores. Except when I see a family go into a store and the ‘alarm’ sounds off because some chip in the kids’ shoes was not de-activated. There are things in DVD’s, there are things in types of medical devices. Why are people being ‘bugged’ , why are we allowing others to stick their noses into our private business?

A man wanted for burglary charges in several states had held up the traffic and commerce in a motel. The police used a robot to send in food, drink and cigarettes. The man threatened to shoot the police robot and the pregnant woman trapped with him.

Not very smart. What was he supposed to eat otherwise? he threatened to blow up the motel, shoot police, the woman with him, and the supply robot. His actions ended up blocking the local lanes there and caused the eviction of the proper guests of the motel.

When the police finally got in, he had NO explosives, or guns. The man was stupid. He will be charged with kidnapping, terroristic threats, hostage taking, and other charges. All for being a burglar. Breaking and entering alone is bad enough, but all he did was add to the list of charges against him, and endanger the woman with him and her baby. I do not think he will ever be charged with being smart, do you?

The GL Wiley Middle School in Waco, Texas, has for five years gotten failing grades on state tests. For five years the students have been under sub-standard education efforts.

The Waco Independent School District wants to close that school down and send the students to other schools where they will be properly taught. The parents of the students are protesting.

If I was a parent, I would have protested the sub-standard education that my child had been receiving for five years, not the chance for them to go to a place where they will be properly taught.

I do not understand.

Just found an article on Stumble Upon. It had me shaking my head that’s for sure.

A burglar with a sense of humor. Very unusual. He definitely is not Robin Hood, cause he did not give to others except for advice. Everybody gives advice these days.

That is something that many people do not want to hear. So, this person wrote it down for the sad home owner to read after realizing that they had been robbed. I guess that the burglar hasn’t thought of handwriting analysis after being caught. all the police have to do is compare that hand writing with a sample from the finally jailed felon and voila - jail bird. I just hope that the home owners start to realize that locks and alarms do happen to work most of the time.
