Ramblings of Silver Blue

A little guy gets on a plane and sits next to the window. A few minutes later, a big, heavy, strong, mean-looking, hulking guy plops down in the seat next to him. The huge man glares threateningly at his neighbor, crowds the little guy so much that he’s flattened against the window, and immediately falls [...]

Some newly married friends were visiting us when the topic of children came up. The bride said she wanted three children, while the young husband said two would be enough for him. They discussed this discrepancy for a few minutes until the husband thought he`d put an end to things by saying boldly, “After our [...]

I’ve been tagged by the Wise Dave Tepper How this works: Immediately following there is a list of a bunch of different occupations. You must select at least 5 of them (feel free to select more). You may add more if you like to your list before you pass it on (after you select 5 [...]

To those who may have found my blog through seach engines, etc. etc. I know my family reads my blog. A great number of my friends read the blog. In fact, even a couple coworkers read the blog. So, it’s really not like I have anything to hide by posting here. Everyone knows I’m a [...]

How he’s hanging on, we’re not sure. Mr. Bonnie has no pulse or blood pressure in one arm, and a very weak one in the other. I guess it’s just not quite his time to go, though we can’t imagine why he’s still hanging on….or what God’s purpose is for keeping him here. Sometimes, however, [...]

I Guess You Had To Be There – Lorrie Morgan (Jon Robbins/Barbara Cloyd) Hello, honey, how was your day? Well you’re sure i a good mood tonight Oh, by the way, I was downtown this afternoon And I saw the most amazing sight Through the window of a small cafe I saw a man and [...]

I have wasted 2 minutes of my life. Save yourself. LeeAnn didn’t.

Various thoughts: (1) Traffic finally wasn’t a screaming bitch in heat this morning. Going back and reading April 2004, I found that I spend more than three hours in traffic trying to get to work, but hindered due to a broken manhole cover. So, what caused the delay yesterday? A broken manhole cover, in the [...]

When stress attacks, people handle it differently. Some people explode. Some prople cry. Some people, like myself, get massive headaches that border on migraines. At lunch today I purchased a big honkin bottle of Excedrin Tension Headache caplets. The headache laughed at them. So, in order ot put it in its place, I need to [...]

Mr. Bonnie is obviously waiting for something. They’ve got him (well, his body at least) on Ativan and a morphine drip. The waiting continues. God bless his family. They’re exhausted at this point.

I posted a question asking what type of Plea is entered that “did not admit guilt but recognized there was enough evidence to convict.” For those who care, that is considered an “Alford Plea.” From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In the law of the United States, an Alford plea is a plea in criminal court. [...]

OzGuru gives us the shortest fairy tale ever.

Nothing like a good googlebomb, but I can’t think of anything to put in the blog that would be appropriate and cause lots of visitation. God knows I can’t post anything of substance. Oh HO! I could become like Bill (RIP) and be the King of Suck, except that my filters and bags might get [...]

And watching what you’re watching. Controlling what you’re watching. Editing what you’re watching. Personally, I think it would be more effective if, instead of legislating this kind of mess, parents took a more active part in their childrens lives. Actually got to know who their friends were, what they were doing (instead of seeing a [...]

Tink could only come up with two questions: (1) Where did Roxette Bunny get her attitude from? (2) Why can’t I grow chives? Ansers: (1) We’re not sure where she got the “me generation” attitude from (more me, less you), but I think it has something to do with being couped up in that house [...]

The Pope met with his Cardinals to discuss a proposal from Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of Israel. “Your Holiness”, said one of his Cardinals, “Mr. Netanyahu wants to challenge you to a game of golf to show the friendship and ecumenical spirit shared by the Jewish and Catholic faiths.” The Pope thought this was a [...]

Well… just becuase.

from PoloRandy. I spoke to him about 9 last night, and he’s tired, weary, and worn out. I just pray that we don’t end up with him in the hospital after his father passes on. If something happened during the night, he didn’t phone.

I’m repeating a post from this day last year… simply because it was fun. (Well, also because Fritz and Tink were the only two to respond to me) Audience participation time. Three Questions 1. Ask me three questions (use the comments below, or send an email). These questions can be about anything at all. No [...]

Overheard: “Not to say that I don’t like him, but if I was walking by and he was on fire, I wouldn’t piss on him.”

How Can I Help You Say Goodbye? – Laura Branigan Written by Burton Collins and Karen Taylor-Good Through the back window of a ’59 wagon, I watched my best friend, Jamie, slippin’ further away. I kept on wavin’ ’til I couldn’t see her. And through my tears, I asked again, why we couldn’t stay. Mama [...]

I think that Political Correctness has gone Too Frickin’ Far. Now, it appears that the NCAA is forcing colleges to reconsider and justify their nicknames. William and Mary, where I used to work, is called “The Tribe.” The College is actually a University, but because it holds a Royal Charter from the King & Queen [...]

I spoke with PoloRandy at 5, to find out how he was holding up. Mr. Bonnie almost slipped away around 3, and now his breathing is getting quieter and more shallow (well, at that time). I haven’t heard anything else, but when he does pass, I’ll be sure to let you know. He as born [...]
