Smartie's Bar & Grill #71

Snow needs to fall to earth First.Then if it wants to act
Like a Mother Superior with course use of a ruler across
the knuckles,to a kid acting up in class.
But snow does not fall inside a classroom,Yet.
A Tornado might.Many a radical teacher,might as well.
Fall on their radical sword.Like Indoctrinating students to
refrain from use of words like " Mother " and " Father ".
Never heard of such a thing before.
Last I checked Snow does not posess that ability.It may be more trouble
than a barrelful of monkeys,but snow don't backsass.
At least fir now.

 

Uhm…..Cheerleader outfits?

 

" She Gave me WaaaaTaaa " - Quasimodo.
I've been inside that Great Cathedral.With the very large { life-size ? }
statues across the top border outside.Inside the Cathedral of Notre Dame
has sections.I remember how dark it seemed inside.And this was in broad
daylight.Our Tour was not permitted past a certain outer barrier of
pews.Damn ! I meant shucks Sister.Shucks,is all.
This wasn't one those Gidget Goes to Rome tours.
Damn ! Sorry Sister.I actually meant * Shucks.

* third person present.Cause I was like Present and mostly
accounted fir.

 

Many Powerful person has died doing many a silly thing.
Not that - Kung Fu - actor *David Carradine was powerful.
But his sort of ancient Ku Fu training did have it's merits.
I don't think his death was anything but his servicing his own
sexual deviance.He died in a Bangkok Hotel room with a
rope { cord } tide around his neck and genitals.
Auto-erotic asphyxiation anyone.Or the practice
of cutting off ones air supply in order to heighten sexual pleasure.
BTW ... Carradine was not a practitioner of the Martial arts when he
took the role of Kwai Chang Caine { or Grasshopper }.But rather his
dancing experiences as a Hollywood trained actor.His father was the
Legendary John Carradine { arguably the most noticeable and frequent
face in many a Hollywood flick." Not to his credit,Mostly absurd typecasting.

 

That's what I understand. Carradine was famous for knocking the snot out of his adversaries in that show, because he had no idea what he was doing.

 

Intense training is good after it is over.
Doing great. Just hoping we don't have a repeat of last weekend. Bad weather...ugh.

 

I got a bill in the mail from a medical billing company for $570.53. I was going to write the check out at lunch today, but decided to check the insurance company statement first. Turns out they paid their portion and got an out of network deduction for $493.53 leaving me a $77.00 dollar balance. Notified the billing company by phone and then sent the statement and bill by email to them. THEN wrote a $77.00 check and included copies of everything in that too. Just a cautionary tale.

 

So, somebody sued the company that I work for. They paid a settlement to all workers.

I got my check.

I guess I'll still go to work. It's tempting not to, though.

 

He was used in Hollywood { typecast } many times as a heavy.
Plus as sort of a tough guy drinker.I remember once his younger brother
Robert did something in a movie I never saw before.
I can't name the title of the movie because I just can't remember it.
I thought it was a sort of TV version remake of - One Flew Over the Cuckcoos Nest _.
But I don't see it listed.Carradine who was an aggressive actor and not embarrassed to
play dirty in a movie was in a scene where he was hospitalized in some psyche ward.
He just up and decided to prove how off the wall he truly was.
He manages to sneak into a locked room where there was medical supplies.
He grabbed the biggest hypo he could find.It was really big.
In front of all the other psychotics in the ward who saw how he sneaked
into that locked medical supplies room,he bravely jams the big hypo { empty }
into a vein in his arm and pushes the air into his arm.Guaranteeing his demise.
Never saw anything like that before.Or since.

 

Alright People of the Strange Brews. Time change tomorrow for ya's. This means our Strange Brew wimmens will be up earlier to make da coffee Right?

 

Coffee? Did somebody say coffee?

 

You gotta keep up with these Billing statements.
I was Denied my annual Life Insurance Policy dividend amount
a few years ago.The Policy dating back to I believe 1957.
I tried on and off for 2 years to get a clarification.Talked to guy
once and was never followed up.What they do is send in the mail
some form letter with a somewhat personal explanation and a hot line
phone number if any questions.What happened was that the original Life
Insurance company changed hands to AIG { Which took a huge hit in the
2008 crash } and eventually they decided to try not honor their Policy holders
claims.Like I said,the first step being to make it almost Impossible to get
in touch with a Life Insurance agent in charge of existing accounts.Then the
2nd step to give out a new phone number where they basically either
don't answer or switch to an extension that gives the runaround { No
agents available or call back later }.Hoping as I did to just get fed up
and forget filling a claim.I Ended up filing a couple claims and the first 2
were basic runaround claims.The 3rd claim eventually got somewhere.
I worked in OS and D claims while in a Transportation dept.That is
Over,Short and Damage claims.So I know about claims and runarounds.

 

I plan on retiring in August. The company owes me a month's vacation pay. That check I got is about three and a half month's pay.

I'm daydreaming of calling in retired.

 

I have not be following with bated breath the everyday plight of regulars
around this pop stand.Not that anyone here cares to say as much as
Novena for me.Or even a few a day.
So What's ails ya and why.

 

What ails me is the weather we are having, tornado warnings like, "seek shelter immediately" three times in one day. Perhaps the meaning March will come in like a lion and go out like a lamb, could be something to hope for.

 

Don't get on the phone with them, they get really confused. It would be so nice if people that work for billing companies understood insurance.

 

Weather is not an ailment except if one suffers Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Or sever allergies.Not that our weather is harm-free ... mind ya.
Yes,the weather can be as problematic as a bad English teacher
or Flower Power High school principle traipsing down the halls
as if Tiny Tim with a ukulele.

 

Alright people of the Strange Brews....got us a dull dingy grey Sunday here. Its like 38 degrees out with 30-40 mph winds. We managed 43 yesterday with some rain. Got the grass all soggy and muddy.



So I stopped at a restaurant for some coffee, and of course to flirt with a couple of waitresses. So the one comes over to pour me a cup of coffee and I say to her.

Did you make the coffee Sugar. She was like are you kidding. The cook makes the coffee.

Can ya believe it.....not even at the restaurant does a woman make the coffee. Whats up with that?

I said to her ever hear of Smarties Bar. You would fit Right in.

 

Airplane crash.

 

Got the scaffolding up on the east side of the house and the first row of siding is up. Bought a solar powered porch light with motion sensor. Probably put it up tomorrow. Gotta figure out where to put the solar panel. The windows on that side of the house are in fair shape. Just put a coat of paint on them. The dining room windows dont look so good....and you can't open them. They will be replaced. That is where I plan to put a stained glass window.

 

before tossing those windows, remove each sash and plane the side edges a little, you may be pleasantly surprised, if you're set on the stained glass, then try removing them without damage and save 'em for future replacement parts for the other windows...

 

*gropes around for light switch*

Dang... at work for over an hr and its still dark outside! Oh woe is us.

 

Oh.....there was a weekend?
