Saying Goodbye To The German Twins.

About a month ago I wrote a blog about Allison and Heidi exact identical twins but what I did not tell you or forgot to tell you they were a part of a student exchange program when I was in the fifth grade. We had a male teacher who wore glasses and taught how to speak German.

I was  very happy being with the twins especially on Friday evenings after school ,but my heart sank when I founded out they had to head back to Germany,so during their weeks in American I decided to buy them goodbye presents.

It took most  of my allowance ,and I also did not eat lunch in school during those weeks ,so I can save more money for  two crystal hearts that I wanted to give them .I wanted each heart engraved  in gold with their first names but I did not have enough money..

On that faithful day at the roller rink with polka music playing through the speakers I did talk to the twins. What I actually wanted to say is how much I love them, but I figured doing so would probably would make them feel uncomfortable. So I decided to say "I love them" symbolically by giving them those special presents.

I told Allison and Heidi I wanted to tell them something ,but I do not know how to exactly to say it or even if I should. I reached in a bag where I had the "crystal" hearts. I gave Allison the first one saying "Allison, I give you my heart" and turn to Heidi and gave her the second one saying "Heidi, I give you my heart"

They told me they would accept my gifts and  then they did the back and forth twin thing and this is how the conversation went:
Heidi: "Stanley, we know what you are trying to say"
Allison: "and the feeling is mutual"
Heidi:  "For the both of us"

Maybe it was our way saying we love each other but we were all afraid to say "I love you" to each other. Maybe it was better to leave it unsaid and just leave it like that.

Suddenly Heidi put her arms around me and gave me a 15 second hug .I felt her lips on my right ear lobe.It was not exactly a kiss but I  was going to count  it as one.After all I wound up with a wet ear lode and I didn't care.

Allison gave me a 15 second hug next felt her lips wound up with an even wetter right ear lobe.That definitely made all three of us feel better the hugs and ice cream I have ordered for all three of us, my treat.

Allison and Heidi  had ask me if  I wanted to roller skate with them  for one final time,but this time they said they were not going to let go of me, but to skate me around the roller rink for at least 5-7 minutes.I rented a pair of roller skates and off we went.

That night when I was home in my bedroom I cried tears by the barrels full so much so that I wound up with a hell of a headache and  had to take a couple of  commerical pain pills.

At my old age now I still do not get a mid-life crisis but if and when I do  I will always look back in the year 1963 when Allison and Heidi tried to teach me how to roller skate.

No matter how many times I  had falling down ,and no matter how stoved I was or much pain I felt ; I will always remember it as the best pain I have ever felt ever.Yes Allison and Heidi were that beautiful.

I will always remember Allison and Heidi and how hard it was for all three of us to stifle our tears.

Are Pseudo Reality Shows A Waste of Time?

Why does tv have fake reality shows? Because they are cheap to produce however you will notice they're just the same thing over and over again.

For example:  The Gun Show "First we will fired this gun and talk about it" "Then we will fire this gun and talk about it" etc. Blab! Blab! Blab!

Second example; Ghost Hunters season one "Here Mr, Ghost, where are you Mr.Ghost?" Ghost Hunters season two "Here, Mr. Ghost, where are you Mr.Ghost ? All through their seasons just another blab blab blab crap.

I have more examples of other reality shows but of course they are actually all fake. Thirty stuck in the dessert ? Well get a soda pop from the vending machine that is right beside the producer/director.

So I am not planning to watch "The Voice", "Dancing with the stars" on  this coming Monday (April 18 2016) ,but I am going to watch the "Seasonal"  final of Supergirl.In fact we are having a Supergirl party actually it just  a few friends in front of a giant screen TV eating pizza and drinking soda pop. :)


I even bake cheese pizza shaped into bowls and in those bowls we are going to put in uncooked salad. Stuff like lettuce, tomatoes, onions, red and green peppers ,shred  cheeses etc all uncooked.

Believe or not we have girls/ladies in town who are not interested one bit in reality shows. They're sci-fi fantasy, action and adventure fans.

In short reality shows bore us (mostly males) that's why we watch something like Supergirl and it's not the same sceneary over and over nor is it the same thing over and over again.Basically, males want action , adventure and a change of scenearies.

Tomorrow's  "seasonal" final episode of Supergirl is going to be fun and we be eating our salad bowl pizzas.Just hope the episode doesn't end with a cliff hanger.

So Supergirl does not look a female body builder ,but don't forget her muscles are made to walk in heavier gravity.Like we humans going to the moon where the surface gravity is only 1/6 meaning we will weight 1/6 less, be six times faster, jump 6 times as high and of course be six times stronger.

The downside is that the gravity on the moon is too weak to support an astrophere so there's no oxygen. Even Supergirl has to breathe, she can even  be drowned on earth but of course there is always someone around that saves her.

Supergirl is usually rated TV-14 meaning that anyone under the age of 14 should not be watching it unless it's okay with their parents.

Intrusive Ads

Sorry, youtube/Google; People now have an legtimate reasons to block your intursive ads.


Look at the above ad, do you really have a driver missing?/if so then why is everything working? What is suspicious about the above ad  is that it does not know what computer system it is on, and how can all the computers mention in this ad all have drivers missing all at the same time?

Most intrusive ads you see on youtube are scams. What ? Some aren't ? Better safe than sorry. Never click on the intrusive ads or download anything from these ads.

Don't even close the ad out ,that way if we get enough people not falling for these ads they will lose money.Hey, it's their fault.Every time someone clicks on the ad(s) or even close them out they get paid.

Now there are free intrusive ad blockers on internet ,but don't trust them ,and never download them. Most will steal your personal information and sell them to third parties. Not only that ,they may add a virus to your computer and start deleting your computer files and next thing you'll know is that you'll see the blue screen of death. :(

If you already installed a free intrusive adblocker go to safe mode ,and  then uninstall the adblocker ,then go to your computer's recovery options ,and set your computer back to its factory settings.

Once that is done go to windows update and if there are files missing they will reinstall  those files at no charge. It may take hours or even days to get everything back to normal. So, in the meantime go to another computer and change the passwords of all your accounts.

Now I have a Sony smart tv with a linux system ,and when I play youtube videos on that ,I never will see any youtube's intrusive ads. It may be the  Linux system or maybe it's the Opera browser.

The bad news is  that the Opera browser is not compatible with flash players that are use in most On Demand websites ,but there is good news. Other browsers like Internet Exploxer, Firefox and Google chrome are compatible with flash players.

More good news these On Demand sites may show advertisments before, in the middles  or after the program you're watching ,but they will never bother you with intrusive ads.So let them advertise after all they're paying for the program(s).

Intrusive ads even try to interfer with your Netflix viewing that you pay  for, without their permission, but Netflix and similar sites will never allow them in.  :)  (end)

Why Is Root Beer Called Root Beer?

Why is root beer called root beer?  It started with coal miners in a small town when they were hot and thristy they  would always drink alcoholic beer.

One day a Sunday school teacher wanted them to quit drinking beer* so he created a punch for them,but one follower pointed out they would not drink it if you called it punch ,so he renamed it root beer.The coal miners did like the taste of it but any thing would have tasted good if one is  sweaty and extremely thristy.

My mom use to make the best rhubard tea, . I even mixed it with
regular tea one day and my mom and rest of my family said it was good but to this day I do not remember the potions.Anyway back then even the root beer a person bought in stores  was made of rhubarb and cost 5 cents for a 6 ounce bottle.

When rhubarb was found out it may cause cancer along with other side effects people quit growing it ,and root beer companies no longer use it. Today they use artificial flavors  instead.Not only that the sugar was replaced with corn syrup like other soda pop products today.

If a person wants  to make natural soda pop ,they just can add soda water to 100% fruit juice. Mine is cranberry soda pop it is not sweet but tart.

* There are beers that are called beers today but with no alcohol; But still made with hops and other herbs which basically makes it a health food.  :)


That Sunday;That Spring
