Flutes,Kazoos and Violins

One day in grade school  in the 1950's our female teacher told us to buy flutes at the store that were $1.00 each so we can play in a flute band. It actually were not  real music lessons we played by number.

All I remember now is on the flute you cover the first three holes then let go ,and then play the fourth and fifth holes and let go and play it twice for a coocoo sound.

It seems silly to me now to be in a flute band while my teacher was waving a baton. It's like directing people rapping with a baton waving.
Below is a song that uses a flute for the song itself and for the musical break.

One day still in the 1950s at the Ohio State Fair I saw a man demostrating a kazoo.He did all sorts of wonderful acts with it and I bought one and again the price was $1.00.I took it home and it did not even sound like his. My mom told me he had a different one and not actually the ones that they were selling.*

What's the difference between a fiddle and violin? They're actually the same instrument and depends on the genre of music being played.

* Remember, when  at a fair or cardival  the games are design for you to lose. For example a child trying to throw a ball in a fishbowl. Put the child on your shoulders and let her/him pitch from there. She/he will have a better chance.

Prostate, U.S.A (Men's health ,all text) rated (MA)

I am writing this blog to tell young men what they may have to go .through when they are over 60 or even 50.

Having an enlarge prostate pressing against the urethra is like a person stepping on a garden hose that  keeps the water level low or not to flow at all.

On December 19th I had trouble urinating nothing came out I went through the whole day like that. Hardly got any sleep that night. So, Saturday about noon I called 911.(Yes, not being able to urinate and depending on age is a legit emergency) they sent an albulance over.

Once in the hospital I was ask to try to urinate in a bottle somehow after a struggle I manage to urinate two ounces of urine.

Soon after this nurse entered the room I was laying in the hospital bed and she put a capater inside of my meatus ("P" hole) and thread  it through my urethra to drain my bladder. It hurt somewhat felt like a sewing needle going through my body. Anyway the nurse kept draining my bladder until the plastic bag was two thirds full of yellow urine.

Once the capater was taken out I still felt like I had to pee. The nurse told me it feels that way because  the capater was in and she also told me I wouldn't able to  pee anyway because my bladder was completely drained.

,The doctor came in the room and told me there was no infection in my urine which is good news ,and then the nurse gave me a pill called flomax and a cup of ice water.That stuff does not fool around I felt better after a few minutes.

I was given a prescription for flomax and they told me to take it only at night because it  may cause dizziness.Well, I rather have that and was sent home.

At home I was able to pee again except it burn while coming out due to the former capater being in ;But the pain left after 30 seconds, but again when I had to pee the burning pain started in again, but the next day I was able to urinate without any burn pain at all.

On December 24 I had a follow up on my prostate I was given the glove test and yes I have an enlarge prostate and was told to keep taking the flomax and as a precaution I was given a prescription for Cipro for infection , not being able to urinate may cause kidney infection or worst kidney stones. Even a kidney stone about the size of a pin head can cause extreme pain.

Fortunely,  I have 3 forms of insurances. One that pays 75% of the bill, the other insuranace pays the other 25% and one for my prescriptons with a copay less than $5 for each prescription.
Even my ambulance bill  will be paid by these insurances.

Vamping and Gene Autry

I am not talking about the vamp where one puts new uppers on top of his/hers shoes. This vamp or vamping I am talking about is repeating a small passage of music over and over again during the full song.There are three samples listed directly below.

First one is called "The Bollweevil Song" by Brook Benton

Click here for Bollweevil Song By Brook Benton


Second with vamping is a song  titled "Shame On Me" by country singer Bobby  Bare.

Click here for Shame On Me by Bobby Bare

Finally, a pop song by ABBA singing "Winner Takes all"  also you may nothice the same passage of notes being played backwards as well as forward.

Click here for Winner Takes All by ABBA

Now what about Gene Autry ?   He was a cowboy who wrote and/or co-wrote Chrismas songs "Here Comes Santa Claus", "Frosty The Snowman"  and "Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer"  songs that I haven't posted to this blog since we all heard those songs since babyhood.

Very simple system for lotto playing.

Yes, I know everyone wants to win the jackpot in the lottery but that is extremly hard to do.

The trick is to get what you can from the lottery. For example playing powerball and you hit all the numbers except for the power ball number sometimes it can be much as $100,000.  Now who complains because they "only won" $100.000.

The system below is a shorten 9 number system if  5 out of 9   is guessed it will win "at least " one 4/6 prize .The odds "after" guessing 5 out of 9:  1 to 1
However, if by some fluke you guessed 6 out of 9  numbers the odd of winning at least  one 4/6 prize is still 1 to 1  with a 43  to 1 chance of winning the second prize 5/6  (after the numbers are guessed )which may be over $1,000.

Odds of winning the jackpot "after"  6 out of 9 numbers are guessed:  28  to 1.

Make a chart like below and enter your 9 numbers.

After you have choosen your 9 number arrange them as below the system is easy to remember.

   With this system the lost is only $3 or $1.50 at 50 cents a game. Always play less for more. Remember it is impossible to win all the time. (End)

North Market

We used to have a store in town call North Market and they had very good meat even tough the cost was $1.50 more per pound than the regular shopping stores.

One day I went to North Market and ask for various meats from the lady who was in back of the counter. It took some time but she wrapped  about 20 packages of meat by hand.


After she got finished with the last package I told her "I've change my mind, I don't want those !"  then I told her I was just kidding.She and the nun beside me started to laugh and the lady behind the counter said "These are sold" while still laughing.

I saw Flippo The Clown live

Flippo was a tv clown in the 1950's in Columbus,Ohio.  He had a show that came on at 3 PM every weekday showing Popeye cartoons which later change and only showed Popeye cartoons just on Friday. Rest of the week he showed movies.Even tough Flippo was a local celebrity he did have his picture on the National TV guide along with a written article.

On one Saturday Flippo the clown was live at the Hudson's movie theater before the movie started Flippo entertain us by letting us sing certain songs and following a balancing ball on the screen and telling jokes. after which everyone got his autographed picture even as a kid I could tell the autograph was a pre-print.The movie they were showing that day was "Smiley"

I do not have Flippo's autograph picture any more  because when I grew up and became a teenager that picture went into the trash.

Below is a Popeye cartoon that uses rotoscoping (tracing the outlines of real people movements one frame at a time). Not only that they had panes of glass on a round table in which the cartoon cels  and backgrounds were place  on vertically and the cartoon camera was at the side not on top like most cartoon cameras.  This gives the cartoon a foreground, middle ground and background effect.The dance routine in this cartoon will amaze you.

click here for Popeye With Heart cartoon

In the 1960's the tv station odered more Popeye cartoons but were cancelled after two weeks even Flippo the clown said that they are not like the others. Flippo was  right. They still use cel work but today the following Popeye cartoon below could have been done on a computer without cels,paint,  etc.A cel is a sheet of transparent plastic with a character drawing to be place on a background.

click here for Bore Me Popeye Cartoon

In the 1950's  at the month of November the Hudson theater advertise that they are going to show 30 cartoons on Thankgiving day. Guess how many people showed up ?  Two just me and my friend Barry. After the 30 cartoons and comedy shorts were shown we tried to stay to watch it again, but we were asked to go home.The theater made 50 cents that day and lost lot of money cartoon reels are expensive to rent. 

The Mystery Of The Phantom Train

 In the 1970's for two days straight at 2:30 in the morning people heard a train going through their small town ,but the thing was they had no tracks in that town.  The phantom train was not heard for the next two months, but after the two months the train was heard again
and again it was at  2:30 in the morning.

Well it was someone playing a joke this person (I am not saying who--lol) had a Hi-Fi stereo sound effects cassette tape and was playing it  full volume while riding his bicycle in sync with the sound .At that time this small town had no security lights and was almost pitch black.

At 2:30 in the morning here is what the town's people heard "WOOO WOOO  ! cluck-a-lug cluck-a-lug".This guy (whoever he was--lol) plan it just before it rains maybe to erase his bicycle tracks.

Yep, he went through this small town for two days straight and then quit.He figured the authorities  would have  the town under surveillance for at least the next two months .After the two months this prankster started in again for one day only and again at 2:30 in the morning after ward he had quit forever.

The town's people had no idea how they heard a train at 2:30 in the morning ,especially since they had no railroad tracks ,but they did put up a sign at the entrace of their town saying "Home Of The Phantom Train"  read on..

Below is a clip of the sound effect (audio only) 30 seconds except the prankster's cassette tape was much louder along with Wooo W000 and bells and whistles. Also the prankster did not stay stationary he kept riding his bicycle matching the speed of a train to complete the illustion.

It's not working, It may work.

Okay you start off your day by trying to mircowave a tv breakfast but it is not working. Could it be something minor?  It could be. The main problem with appliances and electronics these days are the computer chips inside them and they can get confused.

For an unworking mircowave unplug it for a while and plug it back in and also make sure the plug is not loose and see if that works.

On laptop computers if there is nothing but a blank black screen scaring at you try this : Turn the power off on your computer, if the display lights are still on after a while remove the batteries and leave it that way for at least 6 hours and then reinstall the batties and turn on your computer and see if that works.Important give it ample time to boot up.

Now sometimes windows update will blank the screen but if it is way too long follow the instructions in the previous paragraph.

If your enegry efficient furnace blower is too fast and just blowing cold air try this : If you have a on/off switch near your furnace turn the furnace off for at least 20 secords or more and turn it back on.See picture. If there is no switch near the furnace you may have to go to the circuit breaker box or fuse box and turn it off   from there.

But remember if the weather is way too cold some furnaces just can't keep up.Read on...

Okay so what is a therm ?  A therm is one cubit foot of gas.
Now sometimes enegy efficient motors will run contintinually but the motor will take no more electricity  than a 100 watt  light buld.The flames in the burner are not knee high as the old furnances.

Assuming your electirc cost 10 cents per kilowatt hour the motor will cost you a penny for every 100 hours or 1/100 of a cent per hour.

It is the gas and oil that costs. Usually my bill is about $230 a month which is not too bad for winter especially since I have enegry assistance and budget billing from my ele/gas company ,so I won't have to make any payments until February (Catch up month)which is usually around $200.
 The above figures are base on my 80% enegry efficient furnace.

Beating the lottery odds

So you want to beat the lottery odds give it up no one can but however there are ways to improve your odds. Let's use the Illinois 6/52 lotto what are the odds of winning the jackpot with just one ticket ?  Well, let's find out;  It involves math .

Here is the formula for figuring the odds of the 6/52 lottery game.

(52 x 51 x 50 x 49 x 48 x 47) / (6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 1)=20,358,520

so your odds of winning the jackpot with just one ticket is  1 out of 20,358.520 

Now suppose  a person played 6 random games what are the odds then ?  Simple, since he/she is covering 6 combitions simply divide the jackpot odds by 6.   (20,358,520) / 6  or 1 out of 3,393,087

But instead of playing  6 random games let's chose 12 numbers and sort those 12 numbers in 6 number combitions,So here's the new formula:

(52 x 51 x 50 x 49 x 48 x 47) /(12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7)=22033

Even without giving the answer you can tell the odds of winning went way down.In fact the odds now are 1 out of 22,033 and also notice the odds are not in the millions anymore but in the thousands.

Those are the odds of winning the jackpot if a person decides to play a full 12 number system.

(12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x7)/(6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1)=924 combinations.

Many people cannot afford that unless she /he are in a lotto club;But there are shorter systems that win a prize when 6 out of 12 numbers are guessed.

Why play this way ? Well it is slightly easier to guess 12 out of 52 numbers rather than 6 out of 52 numbers.By the way it is against the law for a person or lotto club to play every combination in the lottery game.

Let's recap : Playing 6 random games in the 6/52 lottery odds 1 out of 3,393,087  playing 12 numbers sorted 1 out of 22,033

Below is a video for the shorten 12 number system (no audio). Guessing 6 out of 12 numbers will win at least one 4/6 prize or better .Now what numbers to  pick ?  It's up to you if you're a sports fan how about the numbers of the players' uniforms ?

Just simply substitute your 12 numbers for the 12 letters and please play responsibly and probably just use 1% of your winnings for mad money just to get it out of your system.

Even if this was figure for the 6/52 lottery it will work on any 6 number lottery system, but the odds would be different more or less (end)

The Negative 40 Mystery Solved.

Okay, you go online because you want to convert the fahrenheit temperture to celsius you enter -40 cesius and the answer comes out -40 fahrenheit. You say to yourself that can't be right so you try again  with another webpage just to find that still -40 fahrenheit equals -40 celsius.Well, believe it or not : that is correct.

Suppose two cars are traveling in the same direction one car going 30 MPH and another at 60 MPH .The car going 60 MPH will evenually met the car going 30 MPH. The 60 MPH will go on but the two cars did meet.Everything has a midpoint.Read on...

Now suppose you wanted to try some recipes from a book your friend gave you ,but there are two problems : The tempertures are in celsius and you do not have a computer handy but just have a regular calculator the one without any special math operations; What do you do?

Well, there are formulas that convert one temperture to another using fractions but since we're using calculators let's use the decimal equivalent. It's really easy.

To convert celsius temperture to fahrenheit take your calculator multiply the celsius temperture by 1.8  (notice the decimal point between the one and the eight) and then add 32 and that's it.

Now if you want to go the other way converting the fahrenheit temperture to celsius take your calculator subtract 32 first then divide by 1.8
       
 F=  (1.8 x C) + 32       C=(F-32) / 1.8
IMPORTANT: Always do the math operations in the parentheses (brackets) first, not doing so will give the wrong answer.
Why do things the hard way when there are easier ways ?.Read on...

The link below is a conversion calculator site and their formulas use fractions but as we have found out using the decimal equivalents are easier and a lot easier to remember.

My Female Crush Autographs

I have collected some autographs through the years some starletts I have seen perform live tough we never met.  I don't care about jewerly,cars or how much they make.  All I care about is something that has their personal touch like a starlett signing an autograph and had to hold the picture down with her hand nor am I interested in buying and selling (I'm not).

Even this year starting in June I have been requesting  autographs via snail mail it's November haven't recieve one yet. I am not too worried they're most likely copies anyway.I don't know if the delay  is because of California's drought or not or if the mail people went back to riding ponies.

My Karen Black autograph should be worth $400 but since it was personally signed to me it goes down to $200.; But since she died it goes up to $1000 except it is again personally signed to me so it goes down to $500.  Pawn shops should offer $250. Most likely no one would buy it because it was personally signed to someone else..ME  :)

Pawn shops usually quote 1/4 the value of an item is worth and let the customer talk them into 1/2 of what the item is worth ,so the customer will feel like he's/she's getting a good deal and winning.

A video collection of my female autographs is below. Hey, don't judge me. I bet girls have mostly an all male autograph collection.Video below best viewed in full screen.

To prove I actually have these autographs the "My Autograph Wall"  video is below. Autographs from 1983 to present.

Superstitions of Dogs,Cats ,Hats..,clocks and mirrors.

You probably not heard of this superstition: When a person takes a picture of his/hers dog, the dog dies withing one year.The fact is when a dog is about 15 years or later their masters want to take pictures of their dogs  before they die for a keep sake.Taking pictures were expensive back then.

For example the old Poloroid  camera the filmpack costs $20 and only took 10 pictures that's $2 a picture.It was not like today were almost everyone has digital cameras and can take thousands of thousands of pictures.So go ahead and take many pictures of the pets you want ,it'll cause them no harm  except maybe temporary blindness from a flash.(20 seconds)

What's with the blue eyes in the dogs' pictures that is just a reflection bouncing back from their retinas of their eyes when using a flash with humans  they appear  red.

Do cats have nine lives ?  No, this superstition came about because under certain conditions cats can spread their bodies and legs like a parachute and simply float down. No other animal can do this.

Wearing a hat indoors may cause baldness well it may if the hat is on too tight and cuts off the blood supply to the hair..otherwise it just nonsense.

What about the old superstition that breaking clocks and/or mirrors are back luck ?  In the earlier centuries  clocks and mirrors were made by hand and were expensive to buy. Not like today when we can buy them cheap.

Fixing Video Problems Via Youtube.

Okay, I was in front of my video/music studio ...Wait !  I have a video/music studio?  Yes, so does everyone else who has a computer with editing software ;)

Well, anyway when a video is finish uploaded to youtube and the procession is done you may see a prompt saying "We have detected ways to improve your video, you want us to fix it?" It won't hurt to click on yes"

Once the video is fixed you will see the prompt "We fixed your video do you like it ?"  and two buttons on the above right on your video  "Yeah, keep it" or you can  choose "undo"

Not only that but youtube allows you to download your own videos. Under your own video(s) simply go to "Video Manager" and click "edit" for the roll down menu and finally click "Download mp4"

When the video you've made yourself does not have any copyrighted content like singing  or dancing to a song, or if it just has public domain content youtube will allow the download.They will also allow the download if you are owner of all the video's copyrighted material.

The videos are always downloaded in the mp4 format which makes it faster to download and upload. The video will not play in the Windows Media Player if you have a windows XP or earlier. You will need to download a player that plays the mp4 format.But the downloaded video(s)  can still be uploaded to other sites if you want, and they'll still work.

Playing mp4 format videos in Windows Media Player on Windows 7 or higher is no problem.MP4 format is the compression used most recently on DVDs.

See picture below, "Not legally authorize" is the title of my video that I am about to download to my desktop.

Is It Good Luck Or Bad Luck.

Okay, I am riding down a roadway and suddenly got a flat tire and had to stop ,just a split second after that a car perpendicular from me is racing through a red light. Is that good luck or bad luck?

Is it bad luck that I now have a flat tire?

Actually, good luck and bad luck depends on how a person looks at things.For example the story above ;It was bad luck that I got a flat tire ,but it is also good luck because I wasn't hit by the on coming racing car.In other words I've lucked out. 

Yep, it is bad luck that I got a flat tire and also have to walk home but it also good luck because I do not have far to walk (1/10 mile--about the size of two city blocks)

How about finding money it is good luck if a person finds a $10 bill ,but it is also bad luck because it was not a $1000 dollar bill.

Okay how's this ?  Suppose I found a wallet filled with $100 bills that would be good luck, but bad luck because I'm honest and would turn the wallet  over to the police.But suppose the owner gave me $25 for finding the wallet that'll be good luck.

Suppose my toxic uncle came over to watch hours and hours of football games and makes me sit down to watch them all, to me that is bad luck ;But suppose those footgames got rained out and the station decides to broadcast reruns of Dr.Who starring Billie Piper to me that'll be good luck.(at this point I should make my uncle watch)...:)

In short bad luck and good luck depends on how a person looks at things. Luck does not exsist and yet at the same time it does exsist. What a paradox?

Census Bureau Phising Scam

First off if we had to do a census bureau survey it would have been all over the news.

Second their mention website starts off with "www."  it should start off with "https://www." notice the "s" if the "s" is not there and there is no padlock symbol on their site then it's a fake goverment site.Also a real goverment site will only allow 20 minutes at a time for security reasons.

As for the barcodes shown they could simply use their copy and paste. Using the copy command from a real form and paste it on their fake form,Also it seems that those barcodes are not magnetic, just copies of the code.

Third and the main red flag the document is not signed by any government personal.

Finally, they say that they're going mail us instrutions on how to fill out a survey. Do we really need instrutions on how to fill out a survey?  When we buy a broom, rake or hammer etc. does it come with instructions?  :P
Click video below to see the false document.

Little Arrows and the furnace

Not replacing your furnace filter once  a month or twice a week can damage your furnace motor not only that it can be extremely dangerous and may cause a fire. The filters cost about $3 or less so there is no excuse for not changing them.

However, there is more than that replacing furnace fitlers. First off  look for an arrow on your furnace filter that says "air flow"  if you cannot see any arrows saying "air flow"  the filter should still have an image of an arrow head either at the sides or above.

When replacing the filter behind the furnace door  be sure the "air flow" arrows are pointing towards the furnance.

Now if you have central air with a floor return grate it is the same deal under the grate the "air flow" arrows should be pointed down.You can tell a return grate when your central air is on ,it will not be blowing out  air, but sucking the air in.

Gary, I AM MEMORY

First movie I have  ever loan Gary was "My Mom's A Werewolf" starring Susan Blakely.

In 1988: The first prank Gary pulled on me was laying sheets of fly paper on my porch steps. I got him back by spraying his bed with cans of cooking spray.  He kept slipping and sliding out of bed all night. :)

In 1993:  Gary sold his first motorize bicycle to my brother for $60.My brother gave me the money to pay Gary. When Gary knocked on my door I opened it and joking said "What, the hell do you want?'  but I did pay him  the money so the motorize bicycle now belongs to my brother.

Also I remember that Gary wanted to switch televisions because the living room tv could get more cable stations. I have ask Gary "Is you television cable ready ?" Gary said "Yes"  so we went in Gary's bedroom and I saw a switch on his tv (tv/cable).I  put the switch on cable mode and did a channel search.Now Gary can get all the cable stations also. Gary was happy.

Gary died in the month of  October 2014 due to excessive cigarette smoking.A musical slideshow video in remembrance to Gary is below:

My LIndsay Wagner autograph (Don't get screwed) video proof.

In the summer of 1983 I sent a letter to Lindsay Wagner's fanmail address and it was forward to Lindsay Wagner's fan club in California. In those days you can get autographs just for the asking without a self address stamp envelope.

Anyway I wrote if I may have an autograph and a lock of her hair which I did not get. I did get her autograph about two weeks later and with a message on the back.

Here's the message on back of the autograph which I ran my finger across the back and the ink writing felt raised meaning it is not a copy.

and that message was on the other side of this picture

The message and autograph are on a 4 x 6 card.

Now I saw an autograph  10 x 13 card like this with the same message from the card I have received.Why would she write the same message to two different people?

Let's just say I have the orginal with that particular message the others are just copies.And another thing Lindsay is 65 years old now, so her signature will look different now and maybe have a shaken look.So there is no way it can be a recent autograph.

Below is a video of my Lindsay Wagner autograph .Remember I have recieved that autograph in the summer of 1983 ,and below is a proof video I have made ,and I also show my hand to prove  the actual size of the picture card..

The site selling the autographed copy is below; It may not even be be the site's fault. autograph site

LIndsay Wagner was most famous playing the 1970's "Bionic Woman" and scores of movies.By the way the autograph is not for sell.

My Molly Bee Disappointments.plus 5 Great song videos.

One day I saw Molly Bee a country singer performing at the Ohio State Fair at that time I was 8 years old and Molly was 18.She sang "I saw Mamma kissing Santa Clause" and other great songs.

I don't know what it is but at the age of 8 and below am I suppose to hate girls ?  Anyway I heard she appeared on "The Pinky Lee Show" and my parents let me stay up on those nights even tough it was a school night.

Later in the 1960's she appeared on "The Jimmy Dean show" and since I was 13 then I didn't have to ask to stay up late.

Now in 1961 I heard she was going to perform at "The Ohio State Fair" again. I tried to buy my ticket and I was ask how old I was.  I told him 13 (I could have lied and said 12) anyway I was 50 cents short.I did not get to see her perform that day ,but I still heard her from the outside, so I sat on a outside bench until the show was over. I guess then I was too honest.

Then in 1967 she appeared in the movie "Hillbillys In The Haunted House"  yes, I know Hillbillys is spelled wrong but that's how it appeared in the movie title.Actually it should be Hillbillies.

I was anxious to see Molly Bee to show up in that movie but she only appeared once and sang just one song. :(  Molly Bee died at the age of 69 in the year 2009.

How is the world treating you-Molly Bee

You Don't Know Me--Molly Bee

Below are two more versions of the song "You Don't Know Me" even tough the song title is the same ,the lyrics are different. Now if you're an adult you may want to play the Liz Gillies song first .The music is going to be loud with the danger of being "almost" close to heavy metal.
The one from Ray Charles is the sweet sentimental one ;Just like the Molly Bee version.Yes, musical taste changes when one grows up.

You Don't Know Me--Ray Charles

You Don't Know Me--Elizabeth Gillies

Now at the beginning of this post I wrote that I was 8 years old and Molly Bee 18  we've never met but I do believe it would make a great tv sitcom where something happens to the 8 year old parents and his female baby sitter  (18 years old) has to take custody almost like "The Odd Couple" or "Sam & Cat" but this time there is an added age factor.It may be cruel but they 'll have to explain where the kid came from.
Below is the song "Born Too Late" it's not all bass in some earlier songs they added treble and midrange to fan the music out.

My Late Mom Mary

This is my late mom Mary on October 18 ,2014 she would have been 93 years old. She died from lung cancer due to excessive smoking her left lung completely gave up.

Other vice Mary had was taking a nip of brandy before going to bed. She always opened the bottle  by tearing the label that was on the cap ,until one day she ask me to open it and I just simply twist the cap and it was open. "Well " Mary said " If I just have  known !"  anyway she followed suit and start opening brandy bottles just by twisting the caps.

One day us kids just got through picking blackberries so Mary can make blackberry cobbler ,but on this day she decided to make it a new way by boiling the blackberries first. Our dad came home from work and asked "What's for dinner?"  which we kids replied simultaneously "Blackberry soup" .Anyway let's just say the blackberry cobbler she made after a second try was better.

Well, unknown to us kids there are recipes for blackberry soup but we rather have the cobbler.

Below is a  musical slideshow I made using pictures of  my mom Mary and  the latter ones are pictures of Mary and Me.

AREA 51 :)

Okay everyone heard about AREA 51 :) but what do they exactly do  there?  Some believe talking to aliens, others making new discoveries.

But below is a video that explains what they do. The video starts off with a PBS kids' show after 34 seconds the screen goes blank after which you can see what these people actual do --haha and yes it does take talent.---lol

Getting Autographs for almost nothing

Getting autographs through the mail can be fun but let's be honest the autographs may be autopenned, preprinted , secretarical signed or copies.However, if  people cannot wait for the 3+ months they can simply print them out from the internet.

The only authentic source I can thing of is "What's My Line?"  on youtube. The celebrities sign in on blackboards. So, you'll know the signatures are authentic because we saw them signing in.Freeze frame and photoshop--lol

Not only that a person can use photoshop to transfer the signature from one picture to another.Suppose I wanted the autograph to start out "To Stanley"  I look through the pictures and I may get lucky and print that one out.(One made out to a different Stanley)

If not, I look for indivual letters for example there may be one with "To Sandy" so the letters S,a,n, and y are there. All I need now are the letters t,l,e and y. Oh wait! here is an autograph picture made out "To Hayley"  okay that takes care of the l,e and y letters.All I need now is the t.The idea here is to keep true to the star's handwriting.Also remember the spacing and length of the star's autograph.

Using photoshop I would take the individual letters and edit them to say "To Stanley"and paste that on an all ready signed picture. For a 8 x 10 the best resolution is 300 dpi (dots per square inch).Print it out, frame it and hang it on a wall.

I usually make transparencies out of the autographed signatures, unless the picture I am tranferring it to has the same color background. Think of a tranparency as a cartoon cel ( transparent sheets of plastic).

Warning : Use them for your own personal use only. Do not sell them or give them away which I believe is nothing to worry about since almost everyone has computers and they'll be making their own anyway if they wanted.

As for the PSA/DNA I would just keep your money, To me, the only way to tell if an autograph is authentic is seeing the person signing it and maybe make a video of the signing but videos can be faked as well.

Below is a fictional story--lol

Every Sunday when a celebrity signs the blackboard I sneak in and steal it but I do replace them with a blank blackboards I previous bought. Maybe it is easier just ask the celebrities for their autographs.

Anyway below is a picture of  12 autographed blackboards I have had stolen--shh!  and they are all laminated in clear plastic to prevent erasing.I have recently 350 of them, so much so that I needed a extra room for them.Once the statute of limitations wears off each one will be worth top dollar,but they're not for sell; I'm keeping them. :P

Yep, I have been a very busy man--lol

end.

Are demons actually halluciations ?

In the Bible days people knew nothing about bacteria, viruses and other diseases they tought they were all cause by demons.They tought that all the world's troubles were cause by peoples' way of thinking.

When a person fasts more than two days either to lose weight (which is a bad idea) or for religous reasons they sometimes may see a grotesque vivid image in their brain that looks like a demon that actually looks like it is on the outside world. Exactly, what is going on?

Actually, it is not a demon but a halluciation put there by your subconscious mind. When your subconscious mind knows you're going hungry on purpose it tries to scare you into back into eating.However, you can talk to your subconscious mind saying "Hey, subconcious mind I don't want to see that grotesque image but an image of a beautiful lady then I'll eat.!"

"Hey, subconscious mind I don't

what to see this below!":

            "But this instead, an image of a beautiul young lady.":

Now a person can also have halluciations when they don't get enough sleep.Same deal, your subconscious mind will make you believe that you're seeing grotesque demons, actually it is trying to scare you into getting some sleep so it and rest of your brain can do body repairs. That's why we sleep to repair our bodies during the night.

By the way the brain itself doesn't feel pain there are electrical signals like lighting bolts sending messages to different parts of the brain 24/7.

Now what happens when a person gets stinky drunk.First the reasoning gives up and goes bye-bye but to keep the person alive their reptile brain takes over in other words they are just thinking like an animal with no emontional ethics at all.

Reptile brains only have two things on their mind :

 (1) If it's smaller than you eat it or take it down.
 (2) If it's bigger than you run away and/or hide.

And when they keep drinking evenally even their reptile brain gives up and the person passes out. Next morning they wake up and vomit in the toilet "Boy, what fun they're  having !"

Drinking way too much can cause halluciations as well. A drunkard may see his/hers reflection in a window and think it is a ghost staring back .Since when are ghosts are fully clothed? Where did the ghost get his clothes at the ghostly clothing store?.

Here is a secret regradless what tv want you believe,real scientists don't waste their time hunting ghosts.Usually instead of saying they don't believe in ghosts they'll tell people there is no way to prove ghosts exsist or not.

One can of beer for a woman ,or two cans of beer for a man is okay. It's the overdoing that is dangerous to theirselves and others.

To me alcohol is not an option.

There is a good reason why Ghost hunters are on the SyFY channel and not the Science channel unless the Science channel is showing an fictional movie.

Bubblerock,Polka ,chicken dinner and horses

Nothing like a good chicken dinner fried chicken, mash potatoes with a pat of butter and peas in any event I made this blog just for fun starting with Bubblerock.There are four music videos plus a little information about horses.

Okay here is a riddle:  What do you call an over weight person making change at the cash register ? Give up? A Chubby Checker.

Anyway I have no idea how The Twist began, maybe someone got stuck on a toilet seat and tried to remove herself/himself ,and then decided hey this would make a great dance.

 click here to see "The Twist" music video


Remember when you were a kid or probably still are and rode carousels at the fair or other parks?  The music you heard was most likely a Polka.    Below is a Polka called "The Chicken Dance"

By the way, the pupils of the horses' eyes on a carousel are round making them look more friendly, actually the pupils of horses' eyes are oval shape (egg shape)
Their eyes are on the side of their heads meaning they can see behind themselves while still looking forward (looking out for predators);
But they have two blind spots one directly  in front and one in back and if they cannot see you in the back you'll get kick.Never ever get behind a horse.

Horses can only see in 3D if they are looking directly forward but only 2D  at the sides.

And never smile at a horse or bare your teeth the horse will most likely take it as a threat. 

Horses do not have any red cones in their eyes the only colors they see are shades of blue and green. A juicy red apple will look green to them.

But horses do have a lot of rods in their eyes many more than humans(for seeing in black and white)and for  making horses better suited to see in the dark than humans.

Don't Respond

Okay, you're driving or walking along and someone decides to give you the finger their objective of course is to make you mad. Don't fall for it just ignore it and walk or drive away. Don't let them ruin your day.

Another example: A lady walking through my neighborhood saying "Stanley is a jacka** !" over and over again. I did not respond because I knew if I did, she would have kept it up. If I had the time I would have bought a jacka** mask and put it on and stare out the window.

Now I heard that there are nude celebrities on the cloud either real pictures or fake. This person or person(s) are trying to make the actresses or actors mad;But one starlett did not fall for it she uploaded her own nude pic  with her husband as to say "Doesn't bother us punk !" But getting their personal info like passwords, phone numbers their actual addresses these people or person deserves to be sued.

Now the nude pictures may be use to blackmail celebrities for a heafty sum of money.Act like you really don't care about those pictures that way the blackmailer(s) will have no hold and ruin their plans.It'll fly over :)

Protecting And Creating Passwords

Protecting and creating passwords. First off don't use names of your actual pets , friends or family. Created a password with mixed small and capital letters mixed with numbers. 

You can always save your password on a USB disk and simply use your copy and paste.

Copy password from USB disk then on computer paste the password in the password box. Test it if it works first tough.

As for the password questions such as "What's the name of your pet?"  put in something that doesn't make sense such as "Model T Ford"  "What's your favorite food ?" put in for example "Thunder storms" don't forget to write these questions down and their answers and store them in a safe place.

Now I have a commode 64 computer with a password generator program that I wrote myself (see video below) but a person does not really need a computer they can use a deck of cards.

A playing deck contains 52 cards. 26 of them can be use for capital letters and the other 26 for small letters. The deck may contain two jokers use one for hypen the other for an underscore.If you want to use numbers ,as well, use number cards (Ace (1)  plus 9 number cards) with a different colored or designed back.

Be sure to shuttle desk at least 7 times that guarantees the cards are completely random then deal faceup 6 or  more cards and write down what each card repensents and that'll will be your new password put it in a safe place or use superglue to glue the cards together. If anyone ask tell them "Oh, that's part of a magic trick I use to do cannot find the other parts to it"or hide them in a safe place.

Another thing a person can do and if they're good at photoshop make a picture like "Cats playing poker" with some cards faceup on the table. Print it out,frame it and put it up on a wall. When people see the picture  they will simply think it's a cute picture of cats playing poker and no one will realize it is actually revealing a password.

Now, if you know a foreign language that uses Latin characters such as English  use the foreign words you know.If you live in the United States hackers will assume  all the passwords are  in English and have a tough time cracking the  foreign language password.

I do not know if Asian characters can be use in a English password box or not. It'll be a good idea though.Asian countries can use our latin letters and countries that use Latin letters can use Asian characters or a mixture of both.

Below is a video of my computer generator password program starting with the commode 64 listing. Don't use the passwords it displays since it can be seen publicity.

Now the passwords can be more or less than 15 characters by changing the for-next statement for example instead of FOR X= 1 TO 15 it can be change to FOR X=1 TO 10 for ten character passwords.

Easier Lotto Total

To make sure if your lottery number is a good number it has to be in the range of certain totals (the bell curve range).

Let's use the old Illnois 6/54 lotto and find their number ranges and figure the ranges the old fashion way.

First we add  the numbers 1 through  54 which gives us a total of 1405 then we divide the total 1405 by 54 which gives us an average  total of 26.

Since this is a six number lottery we multiply the 26 by 6 for a total of 156.Now from this 156 let's subtract 26 and put it on the left side then 156 again and this time add 26 and put it on the right side.

This is the number range that your lotto number(S) should be in  range from 130 to 182 in the 6/54 lottery.

Now the easy way by just keeping adding numbers until we get a one digit total. Best one digit totals (6,7,8,or 9) in any choose 6 numbers lottery.

Suppose you're playing the numbers 34 39 41 43 51 53.

Let's just add the totals of just those numbers.
34 + 39 + 41 +43 + 51 + 53 =261

Now let's add the digits just of the total itself
2 + 6 + 1 =9 since it falls in the best one digit totals (6,7,8 or 9)  it is a good number to play except for the odd/even balance it's just an example.

Or by simply adding the digits of your choosen lottery number.
3 + 4 + 3 + 9 + 4 + 1 +4 + 3 + 5 +1 + 5 + 3 = 45
As you can see the digits of total 45 still add up to 9.

On the 6/54 former Illnois lottery (from the drawings themselves) most of the time the digits add up to 8  as for the current 6/52 lottery studies still have to be done.

To keep it simple don't play numbers all odd or all even . keep the odd/even balance.(3 odd 3 even, 4 odd 2 even or 2 odd 4 even)
By the way in the United States it is against the law to play lotteries in other countries.

Updating drivers on Window computers

Okay, you're watching a video and an ad pops up to update your drivers or the ads may say your computer is too slow and needs cleaning. Never click or trust these ads either they want to screw your computer up or ask for money.

The truth is you do not need to spend money to update your drivers just go to windows update and click on custom and let them handle it from there.

You don't need to install all the custom updates just the ones you feel you need .For example if your Netflix player quits working  windows custom update usually has a fix for that.

Custom updates are different from security updates.Custom updates are not considered as  security measures just something extra and improvments on software and drivers.

On most windows computers security updates are automatically installed.  

If you have a laptown that sleeps when the lid is close you should least once a week restart it and usually you will see a prompt saying" Installing updates do not turn off your computer"  The computer will shut down or restart on its own and you may have to be restart more than once.Don't interfer with your computer when it is installing its updates.

Don't spend money on driver updates.

Now sometimes a friend may sell you a product for your computer but had lost the driver install disk . No, worries just go to the product's site enter the product's name and model number and simply follow the instructions.

Note: Without updated antivirus, firewall and updates your computer will have loads of trouble. e.g.  the FBI virus which takes a 1/2 day to get rid of.
