The Time My Dad Got Caught Reading Comic Books

Here's how our Sundays went : When I was a Kid there was this show on our local TV station that aired animated cartoons but not with the orginal soundtrack. The sound track was replaced  with classical music. The idea was for the parents to relax  on Sundays. Kids busy watching animated cartoons and the adults listening to classical music while reading the newspaper.

One Sunday my sister and I were reading comic books in a separated room. All of a sudden my dad came in, sat down in a chair ,and started to read one of the comic books. Maybe, he was bored. After all there were no video games, computers or other media that we have today.

My mom came in the room and saw my dad reading a comic book and said "Now, really. what in the hell are you doing?" .So my dad left the room to watch more tv.

Speaking of my dad reading comic books?  I knew my brother had bought  a Lois Lane comic book ,but we couldn't find it. I  had searched around and found my mom reading it.She did  not notice me.Maybe she wanted to know what we kids were reading but I don't think so. 

Everytime there was a Lois Lane comic that we kids had bought ,it disappears then it shows up in our "reading" room later.Maybe my mom likes Lois Lane comics or maybe  she liked the story in it that is three issues long ,and had to wait  for the new issues.
Back then comics read like the Golden Books.

Below is a picture of one of the comics I caught my mom reading in secret;
I'm claiming fair use here:
By the way, did you ever wonder why that most Superman characters have the intitials of L.L. ?  It is because one the creators  of Superman had a girl friend with the intitials of L.L.

Remebering Passwords The Upside Down Method

Suppose you use Supergirl for your password, guess what ? That password is hackable  but you can still use Supergirl for a password but let's change a few things.

For starters let's change Supergirl to Girl-Super with a capital G , next instead of using the letter i let's change it to a number one 1 the letter r we'll leave alone. Next turn the letter l  into the number 7 .

Now let's change Super instead of an S we'll can use the dollar sign $, the next letter is an  u  turn that upside down and make it into the letter n, turn the letter p upside down and make it into the letter d.As for the letter e let's change it to the number 3 and as before we'll leave the letter r alone.

So let's see what we have got. We have change Girl-Super into G1r7-$nd3r which would definitely make it hard for a hacker to guess. 

Another example changing the letters  into zeroes.
or Man into Wau.Just add your own ideas for example the number 4 can be use as a small h.The capital Z can be put on its side to make a capital N.  or created a chart with your own codes.

Of course I would not  use the passwords I have just shown.

The German Roller Skating Twins Allison And Heidi

Young ladies help me a lot on learning things. When I was a kid there was this teenage neighbor living north of me named Linda. 

One day Linda took the training wheels off my small bicycle and told me to get on the bike. Linda held the bike and while I was peddling  she  suddenly let go  I didn't  notice, but to make a long story short I learned how to ride my bike

Another time at the public swimming pool Linda taught me how to swim by using my arms and legs while I was doing these actions Linda walk me through the water in her arms and again she let go and again I didn't realize it and swam half- way across the pool.

On another summer day at the roller skating rink I met these beautiful breath taking German identical  twins Allison and Heidi. When you ask them a question they would answer exactly at the same time, and at the very same time they would say exactly the same thing. No, astrology signs had nothing to do with it. It was  because their brains are similar.

It probably would be possible for them to feel each other's  pain.In theory if one twin stub her toe, the other twin will also would have felt it and each foot on each twin would have swelled up.

It may also be possible for a person dreaming that he/she had bump her/his  head hard on a table that their brain would react to it as it were real, and that person would wake up with a bump on hers/his head.

One day at a roller rink I put on my pair of rented roller stakes and tried to stand up but fell on my butt, I got up to try it again but still fell on my butt.

Allison and Heidi skated up  and had picked me up. I had one girl on each arm.They circled the rink with me until they let go and again I fell on my butt.  They pick me up five more times circling the rink with me before taking me to a seat where I could  finally sit down.I  smiled every time the twins had pick me up, so much so that one twin Heidi nicknamed me Dimples.

That night when I went to bed I still had pain but I didn't care. Two beautiful breath taking girls roller skating with me with polka music playing in the background, feeling and smelling their hair on my face :)   That was a extremely good day on cloud 9 and the floating sensation I felt lasted about four days. In pain but with a big big smile on my face. :)

Allison and Heidi will always be in my heart.

Yes, Allison and Heidi both spoke German and American English. It is kind of strange how they do that; Changing to one language to another without even thinking about it.
And yes, I suck at roller skating. ;)

That Sunday;That Spring

  Usually, when I fall down, on the floor, I can sometimes roll to my side, and lift myself up; But not this time, I had to use my life aler...
