Flynn's Paws: My Thoughts, My Gripes

Month: July 2011

  • Cute Juniors…

    Once again, I don’t mind meeting people from all walks of life, except Asians for some reason. But I’ve had many hard lesson with jerks, who were for the most part, strangers at best. And as a result, I don’t care for establishing long-term relationships, which takes LOTS of energy to keep up and usually involves money.

    Those cute guys who have lots of time to give the interested party all the attention deserving of a princess, nay, a queen of all sorts is worthy as a friend. But there is also “smothering” someone with lots of love to death.

    For example, there is a fellow blogger, named “Junior”. I say he is cute because his baby picture is cute. And that is all the image I can go by.

    Now the only other “Junior” I know is “Dawn’s” fugly friend, a tried and true type of friend during her depressions. As mentioned before, that guy is cute! I hate to say it but he does remind me of my ex-boyfriend.

    Mind you folks, I am chronologically as old as “Dawn”. I bet y’all didn’t know that, huh! But she is more upbeat and more flexible than me. I should already be a “senior citizen” because I don’t take care of myself as I should with all these minor aches and pains.

    So my goal is to find a companion to keep me busy and to offer support during our last days in life. I made a mediocre cook, know how to do house chores and garden, too. Driving is my other strength.

  • 20110727-More Spooks

    So Minh is talking to Maw about her primary care physician, who raised his voice at her, his patient. He wanted her to get a stent for the heart and a treadmill test but Minh refused because she accepted her fate, a weak heart.

    The doctor is Middle Eastern in descent. They tend to “talk down” to people, especially to women. He told her that she needs these two services to avoid going “bananas in the head” and going to the retirement home.

    We had to change primary care physician from an Iranian because the Chinese doctor left the private practice for a job in the hospital.

    For example, the Iranian tossed a sample towards my parents and laughed but bent over to retrieve the medicine from the floor.

    This goes to show what a bad move America made for opening the floodgates for immigrants, illegal or not. I would NOT do business with the nasty ones.

  • In the sun…

    I wonder if an “amnesia” device is inside the sun that keeps people from remembering their past and thereby escaping from this prison planet.

    Hi, boys and girls! Here is an old word dated July 10, 2010:

    Confidence Trick

    A confidence trick is the use of confidence by someone when answering a question, and because of the confidence they evoke in the other person the answer is determined to be true. A good confidence trick can make anyone believe (nearly) anything because of the confidence the other person exudes whether it is true or false. The use of a confidence trick is used most by highly intelligent people because you need to be witty and the fact that you are playing off of what the person knows, and can know.

    Q: So how is your new friend online? He seems to be very engaged in your weblog.
    A: Oh, him! If it were not for his cute baby pic, I would not have replied to his daily comments. It’s not like he is a “fugly” troll or anything like that!

    Q: So, what happened to your new friend online? Why didn’t he show up as planned?
    A: Ah, err! He said he was being held hostage by a bunch of people in Nigeria and needed money to bail him out. If it were not for his cute gootie pic, I would not have replied to his chatting messages. It’s not like his is a Masonic spook or anything like that!

  • 20110727-Dream Journal

    After eating a load of carbohydrates and an ice cream cone during lunch today, I awoke from my long-nap of three hours. The time was around 5:45 or so.

    I recall some dream fragments in which I went down a long hall of various medical wards. There were lots of people working — I could see them on either side of this hall and inside rooms. Most of them appeared black.

    The indoor lighting was surprisingly bright but not hurtful to the eyes. I kept my gaze forward and as I reached another door in front of me, I sensed that I was going below ground. I saw a sign with black letterings against a white background and the letters “DD” which designated the lower fourth level.

    There was an intersecting hall immediately beyond this door and preceding the downward stairs to the lower levels. The intersecting hall was also brightly lit and the walls were white, too. The hall seemed to have terminated almost to my left but continued to the right briefly.

    The stairways downward have high walls with no rooms to be seen on either side. Just beyond the distance I could see the door (shaded as if a film was overlaided) leading to the outdoors where more people were mingling about.

    I went past the door and “rounded” an extended structure to the left and onto the corner curve of the parking lot. I took out my cellphone and called Paw to pick me up! The conversation was brief as I wanted to tell him that I was at the front and “left” side of the building. But he seemed in a hurry to hang up and I sort of mumbled to correct my exact location but said “okay”.

    In another dreamscape, I was among the tree tops. The tops of the trees didn’t have leave. The tree branches were bare and mostly gray in color.

    I saw a “roof top” situated within the tree. The chimney-like apparatus have three openings to the “right side” of this structure with another protrusion to the “left side”. The three openings were covered in a mesh of some sort.

    Another “guy” was talking to me about this mesh. I don’t remember the rest.

    The end,

    the Flynn…

  • 20110727-Noticing Numbers

    I’ve changed WordPress.com themes again and this time “reverted to the default font for this theme.” In doing so, I noticed the following two sets of numbers from my weblog:

    • Blog stats — 64,288 total views and
    • Akismet protected — 93,744 spam comments.

    Earlier this morning, I noticed more double-digit numbers at 11:44am and 11:55am, respectively:

    • 39,947 (odometer)and 917.7 (speedometer) and
    • 39,960 (odometer) 921.1 (speedometer).

    Also, at around 11:47am, I was following a dark blue car with license plate ending in 665, with a light gray Mercedes Benz SUV of 655 immediately to my left.

  • What would it take to get you to move?

    The return of my hard-earned money, you friggin’ morons!

    A trusted offer of $1,000 to move to a different city would NOT be enough. That is only good for one month’s rent!

    I would need the potential for a good job and excellent location near a body of water and among several restaurants. I would need them to offer not just their words or signed pieces of paper with the blood, sweat and tears but the material proof up front.

    The only reason I already want to move is to move on with my life, raise “my family” and be happy. But as it stands, I am OBLIGED to oversee the lifestyle of the two elderly couple. I’m their chaffeur and helping hand, if you will.

    What would it take to get you to move? If someone you trusted offered you $1000 to move to a different city, would that be enough? More? Or would you need other things (the promise of friends or better weather?) What would they need to offer you before you’d instantly say yes? Or if you already want to move, what would it take to get you to stay?

    At 2:33pm yesterday, the dashboard of Paw’s Mazda Protogev displayed the following numbers:

    • 39,909 (odometer) and
    • 897.7 (speedometer).

    At 8:33am today, the dashboard of Paw’s Mercedes Benz E430 displayed the following numbers:

    • 36,613 (speedometer).

    As I drove through the parish parking lot, I noticed a honey bee clinging to the outside window of the driver’s seat. I tried to travel slow at under 30 miles per hour but the wind was too strong for it. It climbed on the roof and then disappeared. 🙁

    Here is an easy recipe for a type of Filipino meatloaf:

    Chop the following ingredients:

    -Smoked or sweet ham chunks.

    -One cup of bell peppers (red, green and/or yellow).
    -One small box of those raisins, soaked in water to rehydrate.
    -Three cloves of garlic.
    -One cup onion.
    -One tablespoon of pimentos.

    With disposable gloves, mix ingredients into:

    -Three to four pounds of ground pork.
    -Salt and pepper to taste.
    -Add bread crumbs. Since we ran out of bread crumbs, we substituted dried potato flakes!

    -Place one pound of meat loaf into aluminum foil.

    -Form into desired shape of loaf – long or short.

    -Place one can of sliced Vienna sausages and sliced three to four hard-boiled eggs into “middle” of canal formed into loaf.

    -Roll up meat loaf in foil and secure ends.

    -Place completed loaves in oven pan.

    -Bake in 350 degree Farenheit oven for one hours or until you smell it burning good.

    -Cut into desire shapes and serve warm.

    -Enjoy.

  • Keep Hangar One…

    image

    Yesterday, the three of us went to the DeCA in Moffett Field, CA and bought lots of groceries. We were going to shop this morning after Maw’s doctor’s appointment.

    I noticed new banners were up and how the top portion of the hanger was being repaired. In my old blogs, I expressed how I didn’t like preserving a piece of history, even when the government cannot afford to fund an expensive project.

    But Maw (in her usual insight) said: “The hanger is good as a shelter in case of disasters.” So that’s where it stands, a bulky landmark near 144-FEMA.

    The attached photo shows Hangar One and scaffoldings atop its doors. There are trees below and the sunshine is above. The old water tower painted red and white is to the right.

    Addendum — Last edited by FLYNN on 20110727 at 16:50:04 PM UTC : We forgot about eating breakfast at the “Barcelona Cafe”. It is suppose to be open from six or seven in the morning to about one or two in the afternoon only. One day and if we remember, we will try and eat there prior to shopping for food and such.

  • Long head readings…

    The problems with reading is that the material cannot fully encompass the original author’s thoughts and experiences. So I’m about to read a .pdf file that is 314 pages — too long for my impatience!

    First, there were the introductions from credits to the author and a bunch of stuff. So I skipped over to page thirty of this document and that’s the “beginning” of the juicy material.

    My reading preference happens to be short and sweet. No! That’s not what you should be thinking! In any case, bigger fonts are easer to read and so are large spaces in between each line.

    And so I’m scrolling really fast and nicely too. I wonder how long I could endure this long file. I really want a conclusion. Maybe a nice list of highlights would make me want to read onward.
