I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS, EXACTLY

Blog number 538 ******** 17 February 2012


I have no idea at all why I'm blogging this entry. The incident itself is entertaining to me, and I relive it every once in awhile, but would others appreciate the entry? I dunno.


When I was stationed at Mather AFB, living off base, one day my wife and I got severe stomach cramps.  They would double us over, but in a few seconds they would disappear and we would feel fine. Then they would come again.

We decided, "nuts to this" so we got in the car and started driving to Mather to see about getting into the hospital, or at least get the cramps stopped.


Mather was eleven miles away and on the way, I had to stop several times, unable to drive because of the pain. My wife's cramps lessened, but mine remained severe.


My wife kept telling me that it wasn't any more severe than labor pains, and it was only fifty years later that she told me that she said that, trying to make me feel better.

We finally made it to the hospital and I saw the doctor. I wanted to go into the hospital, but since I didn't seem to be in any pain, he gave me some pills or something and I left, but before I could leave the base I got another attack, so when it passed, I went back to see the doctor, told him I was still having cramps.  I could tell that the doctor didn't believe me, but thought I was malingering. 


He kinda disgustedly said, "Ok, I'll give you a note to get you off work tomorrow."  I left again.


On the way out the gate, I got another attack, pulled over, and when it passed, I went back to the doctor. 

He said, "Ok, I'm gonna put you in the hospital (subtext, 'that'll teach you')" 


As he was filling out the forms to arrange this, I had another attack, giving a loud lingering grunt while bent over at the waist.  The doctor looked shocked and lifted himself somewhat out of his chair and said, "You're kidding, right?"  I shook my head, "no."

I finally got into the hospital, severe diarrhea.

MARTIANS GO HOME

So I'm watching the telly as I always do and I happened to be watching the news, something I rarely do. So I read about a meteorite that landed in the African desert somewheres. I am told that this particular meteorite came from Mars, believe it or not. I'm having a little trouble believing it.


What is the evidence that has been used to come to the opinion that it came from Mars? 


It all sounds to me like that story about dead animals turning into black gold. I just don't believe either story..

WHOLE BUNCHA NONSENSE IF YOU ASK ME

So I'm watching my telly and a commercial comes on sorrowing about the plight of the polar bears who are dying of starvation and engaging in cannibalistic behavior because the melting ice keeps them away from their normal food supply.

We are asked to send money to help keep the polar bears from becoming extinct. So right away I'm wondering what they are going to do with the money to help the bears. The only thing I can think of is that they will buy a humongous ice maker. Or maybe fly a relief plane over and drop seals near the bears.

This commercial made me even more suspicious of television's "send money" pleas than I already was.


On further thought, I think what they might do with any money is to hire people who could study them with radios, etc and maybe find a clue as to how they could be saved.  I'd buy that

Speaking of cannibalism, zombies are NOT cannibals. They do not eat their own. And also, since they are already dead, how can a bullet kill them? And do they walk so slow because of their age or are they afraid some of their "flesh" will slough off, or what?

Lion dens. Lions do not live in dens. Never have, never will. They don't need to. What would they be hiding from?


I a pretty sure that this lion den thing comes from the Bible story about Daniel in the lion's den. But that "den" was a cage and the lions were forced in there.


When we lived in Sacramento, there was a story in the local paper about a peacock that flew into the lion's "den." Guess what happened to it.
