Ramblings of Silver Blue

which will mean we have power and phone and all back. FEMA is supposed to be sending a person out to survey my damage. Until we next blog… Peace be with you. John

Rejected Headline: Rejected Headlines for Links on a Friday… In my search for all things bloggy and good, I came across: Dawn goin’ fishin’ for brown trout. Roxette Bunny™ is getting into logrolling. Susie’s giving out free ice cream for the return of John Collins. Bill is being punished with no boobage. Kate takes on [...]

AllState insurance reps are being told to not use the higher deductible for wind damage because this area did not meet the requirements of sustained high winds of 100 mph or more. Which would be great news for me, as my deductible is less for regular items. IF USAA is playing by the same rules [...]

Thanks again to Dad: A man is stumbling through the woods totally drunk when he comes upon a preacher baptizing people in the river. He proceeds to walk into the water and subsequently bumps into the preacher. The preacher turns around and is almost overcome by the smell of alcohol, whereupon he asks the drunk, [...]

Over at MSN’s Money Central they discuss the cost of a latte. Also, what the aggregate cost of drinking one a day will do to your retirement. In case you can’t find the article, I’ve included it below…

I could have sworn somewhere that I read Cher’s Farewell Tour will finally end on halloween, October 31. Oh, that’s right. It was in the article that mentioned her concert broadcast won 3 Emmys. All Hallow’s Eve. When the pact with Satan (see here) finally will come to an end — 3 months early. LOL.

New PC. New Software. No power, no internet access. This weekend will be an interesting one. I’ve contacted FEMA to get the ball rolling. Here’s what I hope will happen: No charge to my insurance company. No grant. I want the low interest loan so that I can fix what’s broken. There are those far [...]

Dipped In Chocolate: The World of Revog will be alive and full of fun stuff soon!

Dad just sent these to me. I can’t stop laughing: 1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don’t panic. Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat and presto! The blockage will be almost instantly removed. 2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them [...]

Hat tip to Revog for finding this (she’ll have her own blog soon):

I try to be tolerant of many things in the world. Of many different viewpoints. One sore spot is when someone tries to declare the Holocaust as a hoax. The other is this bastard French asshole, Thierry Meyssan, who has created a deck of cards showing the leaders of America as a threat to American [...]

Rest in Peace, Robert Palmer, whom we found “Simply Irrestible”, who “Didn’t Mean To Turn You On”, among other great songs and who proclaimed through supergroup The Power Station, that “Some Like It Hot”, “Bang A Gong (Get It On)”, and “Communication”. Mr. Palmer checked out at the age of 54 due to a heart [...]

My blog is dying. Oh, I’m getting the traffic. That’s not a problem. But in the ecosphere, it’s the links that count more than the traffic. Not that it really matters to me. I do this as a mild-mannered amusement to myself and whomever else may read. Though I don’t yearn for the heights of [...]

….will be to use whatever language I deem appropriate to these clowns who clog my phone line? A second judge has issued an injunction againt the “Do-Not-Call” list, saying it inhibits the telemarketers freedom of speech. How? They are unwelcomed people in my home. I had them call on my phone before I lost it, [...]
