Loading ...Everything in the universe relates to the number 5, one way or another, given enough ingenuity on the part of the interpreter.
Out the front window: A black pick-up truck. A white Taurus. A navy blue Hummer. A champagne Ford Escort. A city police car stops, turns on its lights, and makes a U-turn.
So, who has a holiday today? We have one here in the US. I think Canada has one. I know the UK has one. And the Netherlands probably has one too, because they’re on holiday 51 weeks out of the year.
I’ve got a hankerin’ to finish a story I started writing just after Katrina. I never finished it because it was just too ‘close’ at that time. Now I feel like I can tackle it, especially since its a fucking good story.
I think my shoulder is getting better. At least my fingers are no longer numb. I’m still a bit achey but not as bad as it was. Hooray for electro-shock therapy!
“Hooray for electro-shock therapy” - another example of letters I never expected to type in that particular order.
I find the Law of Fives to be more and more manifest the harder I look.
Buy me a beer!

I put this post through the gender-genie. Today, I’m all man!
Yeah! Nice Christian Something day here! Breaks the flaming monotony of the 51 week holiday a bit
Best of luck on the writing Che.

We had a holiday today. Mojo spent most of it in bed with a headache. Not a hangover, just a headache. I spent it doing nothing. I mean, absolutely nothing. I could have been working on something for the job I am leaving, but why bother.
Now Mojo is in bed next to me, and Puss is sitting next to the keyboard watching me type this. She seems completely unimpressed.
The girl is at a movie and soon will be at college.
Today is a nothing day. Which sometimes is okay and sometimes is dead boring.
Well, when I logged back in this evening, this post had FIVE comments.
Now it has six.
Sorry to hear Mojo is the headache-haver. I hope he’s feeling better soon.
I am presently downloading Bas’ new creation. It should take 4 and half hours with this connection. But I’ll get it!
Thanks, Che. I got better yesterday and then got the headache but slightly less-so today. Very annoying, but could be worse. Probably just sinusitis or summat.
Hope your shoulder-hand zone improves. I had some nasty soreness in my shoulder on Sun. night. Very irritating.
My shoulder/hand thingy is better, thanks.
For your headache, I recommend putting Vicks vaporub on your anus. After that, you won’t much care about the headache.
I do not recommend a certain drug that begins with a G to combat your headache. It kind of makes the headache feel cold and unpleasant, like someone rubbed Vicks vaporub on your brain.
Normally, for headaches, I use white willow bark and skullcap (skullcap for the tension headaches)For migraines I usually just lie in the dark wishing I were dead. Fortunately they don’t happen too often.
I do hope you get rid of the headache - glad its not too bad now.
Uh, my head is definitely better now. No need to vaporub my anal area. Really. No need at all.
No worries about any drugs. The strongest thing I have here is Motrin but it kills my stomach if I have more than one, sadly.
I don’t have any good herbs around at the moment. My stock is low unless you count strawberry plants and dandelions. Thanks for the idea, though. I’ll have to upgrade my herb stock sometime.
I know what you mean about the migraines. I hate them too. I also get them rarely, but when I do, they’re a real misery.
Dandelions are super-awsome in the herb department. They are a staple of my herbal first-aid. They’re a great tonic, very good for you, boost the immune system, and all kinds of goodies. (I also use them to summon spirits but thats a whole other can o’worms). People think they are just weeds, but they’re miracle -plants. I’ve even used dandelion tea to treat some of Bea’s ailments, quite successfully I might add. So don’t dis the dandelions!
Yikes- your color is changing every time I refresh!
Yeah, I’ve heard good things about dandelions, but have never researched them much. I am always reticent to cut them or pull them up in my yard, though, because I rather like the look of them, despite what we’re told at lawn care centers about how ‘bad’ they are. Still, I should make some teas with dandelion in sometime.
And dandelions are high in potassium!
Yes, that they are. And if the old wives tales are to be believed, Dandelion ‘milk’ gets rid of warts.
I’ve never had a chance to test that one. I can’t remember ever having a wart. Not even a genital one. But if I did have genital warts, the answer to ‘whats in my vagina?’ might be ‘dandelions’.
R the P, do you remember Michelle? Of course you do. She dated Hux! Anyway, she once told us she could charm warts from people. That was quite possibly the most interesting thing about her.
I do remember Michelle. I once met her in the Newark (ahem) Freedom Airport (Luckily no one calls it the Freedom Airport — mainly because it is embarrassing). She told me that she was no longer Michelle. She was now Kristin, because Michelle was so “Macon” and she wasn’t in Macon any more.
I could not argue with her logic.
I don’t know why Kristin was so much more “Newark Airport” than Michelle was, but I really just smiled and nodded and tried my best to act like whatever plane was leaving next was mine. Plane to Helena, Montana? Yep. That’s mine! Nice talking to you Michelle! I mean Kristin.
I guess she could have started naming herself after nearby New Jersey towns. She could have been “Elizabeth” or “Cinnaminson” or “Barnegat Inlet” or the most famous of all cities/townships/freeholds in New Jersey, at least according to Things Che Loves
The Oranges!
That’s right! East Orange, Orange Township, South Orange, and West Orange, collectively known as “The Oranges!”
Now, who wouldn’t want to live in one of those locations?
And just for Mojo, she could could have also named herself Ho-ho-kus. That is Mojo’s favorite borough in all of New Jersey.
And it should not be confused with the unhyphenated Hohokus Township, a separate municipality in New Jersey, which sadly no longer exists. Hohokus Township is now called Mawah Township.
You gotta love Jersey!
Oops! I meant Ho-Ho-Kus. Forgot my capitals!
