Inconvenient-Convenient

I now pay most of my bills on-line but if you're on Wi-Fi is it safe ?  The answer is yes and no. No if you're using a public wi-fi and yes if you have a private wi-fi with a secured password. If you still don't feel safe you can always have one computer with the wi-fi  disabled and connect that computer directly to a router and just use your other devices for wi-fi. Don't worry the disabled wi-fi on your computer can be re-enabled.

Beware tough  billing via email with a link attached may be dangerous. There are hackers that pose as companies that send emails with legit looking links but leads to a fake site.
 Sure legit companies also send email links to their sites but if you go to the wrong one it will be the hackers that get the money and not the legit companies.It happen to me twice.

My cable company  told me they did not received payment, and now recently I got two emails from my cable company that tells me one of those emails are fake. So to avoid this problem do not click on the links in the emails, instead go to main site in your browser and type everything in yourself  making sure you see the lock padlock and https the 's' meaning secured. I got everything settled now.

In short even you think they are legit companies in your emails still don't click on the links, use your browser and just search for your companies' name.If you know the your passwords you use to enter various company sites then there is really no need in this case to use email anyway.

Paying bills online is very convenient ,especially if you do not want to go out in -40 degree or 130 degree weather. I used to ride my bicycle in very hot weather in early morning to the insurance building to pay my bill. Not anymore, I can still pay the amount I owe just sitting in front of my air conditioner. :

I do not have a credit or debit card so how do I pay my bills? Simple really I use the online check sometimes called electronic bank transfers. All is required is:  Your bank information, the router number and account numbers of your checking/savings account and of course your company's account number, and so far there is no convenience fee using this option, either from ( my bank anyway) or companies.

On checks the routing number is on the bottom right side of the check and  your account number is just right of it. (end)

Super Strength And Ouija Boards.

Two weeks ago I was watching an episode of Supergirl, one of the plots was this ordinary mom suddenly gaining super-strength, and  lifted  a downed very heavy antenna tower off her pinned daughter. 

This really does happens in real life. In a emergency the adrenaline levels of a human body goes way up, and goes back again to normal, after the save, but why don't we have an overflow of adrenaline all the time ? The answer is it would kill us. Best just have bursts of strength. 

That Supergirl link of the mention episode is below at least for a few weeks anyway:
                                    Supergirl S3-E1

Now for ouija boards. People may think that spirits are moving the ouija planchette  if that was the case the planchette wouldn't have to be touch at all. 

It is actually people moving the planchette  not being consciously aware of it.The answers it displays  comes from people's subconscious minds and not the spirits.

These answers may come from various sources from the subconscious like movies or tv shows,past memories of long time ago etc. .So don't take the answers seriously.

If a people want to play with the ouija boards make the group all male or all female. The ouija boards works better on male-female teams  but there is a real danger. Read the next paragraph. 

The danger is  subconscious minds can make things happen accidentally in real life. 

Try this experiment: Have  male and female teams think of someone they know at exactly at the same time. Let's named that person Steve. Now have them visualize Steve dropping his pants at Wal-mart in the middle of one of the aisles then wait and see if it happens in real life and remember be specific.

 Only try this experiment once and see if it works; Keeping "cursing" somebody will fall ten times  worst on you and/or on your team mates..Keep reading....

It is best to avoid ouija boards all together. 

What you think it is still spirits and not the subconscious minds ?  Read the back of the box that the ouija board  had came in-- it'll will tell you it's dwelling into people's  subconscious minds.(end)

Weird Dreams

At my old age I take a lot of prescription medicine for various health conditions some of which have side effects of causing weird dreams.

                             THE GIFT OF GOUT 
One night I dreamt I was on  a moving passenger train I saw this beautiful blond actress who plays a money broke girl on a popular sitcom. In my dream I was lying down face-up  on one of the train beds with my bare feet sticking out from the covers.I was going to ask her an  autograph then show her a magic trick. 

 I was half asleep, my mind in the real world was thinking she may have time for an autograph  request, but she may not have time to stick  around for a magic trick. She kissed my left bare foot and departed to go  to bed. When I woke up,in the real world, I have seen what look like a red nipple on my left big toe. I woke up with gout.

I had gout twice before and it hurts. This time I was not going to fool around I made an appointment with my doctor, who gave me a shot in my bare butt and sent me home with antibiotics.

                             THE BLUE MAN
Another dream I had was about a six foot blue skin man who told me "I don't want you to be walking around !".  The next scene, if you will, was the same exact blue skin man but this time he was only two feet tall  walking through Wal-Marts' Aisles.

On awaking that night walking to my bathroom I stubbed my toe on my right foot which in turn made my ankle hurt. My home nurse (who comes once a week) took a look at it and told me "It's not too bad, let it heal on its own".It was healed within a week. This blue skin man had the same shade of blue like my omeprazole prescription pills (stomach acid reducer).
            
                        THE COFFIN DREAM
One night I had a coffin dream. I dreamt I was in a closed coffin and couldn't breathe; Again, I was only half asleep, lying face up in bed  aware that I was dreaming. I tried hard to wake up but I was paralyzed took every will power of my brain to move my muscles to get woken up. I finally got woken up and was glad it was just a dream.

Exponents

In this blog the numbers are as they are called in the United States. They may be called different names in other countries.

I was watching 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire ?' and one of the easy questions was: What is thousand times thousand?  The answer of course is one million, in which the contestant knew. She only had to add three zeroes at the end of the number one thousand 1,000,000 making it one million.

If it was a hard question in my case, I would have been using the exponents for example (10^3) x  (10^3) = (10^6) which means the
number 1 followed by 6 zeroes or one million. Yes, you add the exponents to multiply and subtract the exponents  when dividing..

Now for a hard question:  What is a trillion divided by a billion?
In the United States the small scale trillion is the number 1 followed by 12 zeroes.

 A billion is the number 1 followed by 9 zeroes. Can the person actually keep track of all the zeroes when dividing in their head ?  That's going to be hard !

1,000,000,000,000 divided by 1,000,000,000 of course  is easy with pencil and paper and crossing out zeroes making the answer one thousand. However on 'Millionaire' you will not be allowed to use paper and pencil, making figuring exponents in your head the best option.

(10^12) divided by (10^9) when the exponents are subtracted (since we are dividing this time) smaller from the larger, we get the answer (10^3) which is the number one followed by three zeroes or one thousand. So a trillion (small scale) divided by a billion is a thousand.

Now there is a long scale trillion which is the number one followed by 18 zeroes instead of 12 zeroes.Of course on Millionaire they probably would have to state if it's the large scale trillion or the small scale trillion to be fair.

What do the exponents mean ?  Let's find all the combinations of Bingo .No, it is not 75 combinations but;
              (15^5) or ( 15 x 15 x 15 x 15 x 15)
 giving us the answer of: 759,375 combinations and not 75.

I can break down those bingo combinations, like how many odds-evens there are, or how many combinations are all odd, but since most bingo places do not allow a person to choose their own card(s) any more, why bother?

Now for math oddities: 
What is zero in the zero power ? (0^0) is it one or zero ?
No one really knows, so it 's undefined. On old computers they will give an error message, but on new computers Google calculator will give you the answer as one; Even the zero in zero power, it's just the way that Google calculator is programmed . However, (0^0) is never use anyway, so why worry about it?

What is 6 divided by zero ? Is it 6 , 0  or infinity ? Another 
mathematical oddity.

Another oddity the square root of a negative number { -25^ (1/2)} Google calculator will give this result as -5 which is classified as an imagery number. It can  also be written  as, i = -5,.simply because
 -5 x -5 gives us actually a positive 25 (+25) and not a negative 25 (-25).

What ?!! ,A State Highway Inside Of An Airplane?

In 1968 I joined the navy. A car pick me up and drove me to the Columbus, Ohio airport.It was the first time I have had seen an airplane full size. Man, those suckers are huge. I just don't know how they even get off the ground. 

When I was seated  every time I talked I could of sworn  I heard my own voice behind me. I heard other people also talking about going their way to boot camp.

Finally, we stopped at a Chicago bus station and boarding the bus taking us on our way to boot camp.

In about 20 minutes at 3:45 A.M Illinois time we arrived at boot camp and everything all of a sudden got quiet. We went to bed at 3:50 A.M  about an 1/2 hour later we were told to get up. Geeze..

I had a knot in my stomach but fortunately they had a brand names soda machine.They told me I didn't need to put any money in the coin slot, just press the button of the drink I wanted. The soda did helped my stomach a little bit.

We were given clothes, sewing kit, a Bible, and a chit book which was like those old food stamp books tearing out the amount you want when going to stores, except it was not limited just for food. 

At least we got three meals a day we did not have to pay and we were free to choose what ever we wanted on our plates.  

During our first week we marched most of the day and even sang a marching song once.We went to bed at 9:30 PM and were awaken at 4:30 AM 

After we got our buzz cuts we were tailored for  our sailor uniforms and  were issued rifles. A rifle? I never shot a weapon in my life. I  don't even hunt or fish; Not too mention I had to  get used to listening to new adjectives.

Finally my two year term was up and I was honorably discharged. They told me I can re-enlist BUT with a chance going to Vietnam ?!, No thank you. "I'm out of here !". 

 I am glad I didn't have the opportunely to kill anyone, friend or foe. Now don't tell me that is nothing to be proud of !.

I was driven to the O' Hare airport boarded a plane. A beautiful stewardess took me to my seat and took my order from a menu which I wasn't charge. 

Forty-five minutes later, at Columbus, Ohio it was time for me to dis board but it was a huge plane and even saw a highway through glass windows inside the plane then I caught on;They probably had "docked" at the bus station. Yes, I wondered, what is a highway doing inside of an airplane?

I was allowed to keep some of my navy clothes which still had my military serial number paint-stamped on them including the duffel bag.

About three months later my sister got a nursing job and a new apartment, which she was going to share with her female friend. She took my duffel bag, took out all my comic books,all my movie magazines, all  my Reader's Digest books and the book I was reading green hard cover "How Green Was My Valley ?" 

I decided to help my sister out, by folding all her clothes into triangles before putting them in my duffel bag. It turned out she didn't want her clothes folded into triangles. lol  (end)

Why Do We Have Rainbows?

 It seems like I have a dry spell, so I figure the only cure is to write at least something down.. 

Vanessa: "Mom?!, why do we have rainbows?"

Jackie:   "Well, honey, it's God's way of reminding peoples of the world  that we all should  get along regardless of race; Like if the whole world is just like one big happy rainbow"

Jackie continues:   "Not only that, but we also have to respect and appreciate each other as well, that  includes respecting each other's peaceful religions and also to respect peoples' sexual orientations. 

As far as religions are concern ,in my option No one is righter than the other ! We all must get along, of course relations and friends are going to argue but that is just a normal part of life" 

Vanessa: "In other words, you're telling me that the myth of finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is actually a metaphor for love and peace, and to find that love and peace we all must get along like the colors of a rainbow, and to accept people just the way they are"

Jackie: "Oh my God, Vanessa,  you're smarter than I am !"

Vanessa: " I love you, mom"

Jackie: "I love you too, honey, now give  mommy a great big hug"

How Many Identical Twins In Germany

Germany sure has a lot of identical twins or it may seem that way since the whole country of Germany is half the size of Texas also when I look at the numbers on my blog most hits I have gotten were the blogs about the German twins Allison and Heidi who I had known 54 years ago

Below is a picture of one set of identical twins holding hands before finishing a race either they knew what each other was thinking or they have had talked about it.Their brains are similar.
 click here to see picture of one set of German twins.

Below  a German music video from identical twins Kathrina and Jessica "All Peoples of/on The World"
  click here for Katharina's and Jessica's Music Video

Another German music video below but this time from Verena  and Nadine singing "7 Days Longing" notice they both have freckles which does not bother me (remember the German "V" sounds like the English "F"):  
   click here for Verena's and Nadine's music video

If I was still in the fifth grade with let's say that are about 10 sets of identical twins in our class I and my male friends would definitely would have a field day. Hey ! here's an idea rotating girl friends. :) read on....

Below is a video of a duo who are not twins. They're not even sisters which is revealed in their interview at the end. Heard of The Beatles, well they are not actually beetles are they?

Also you will notice they are in line skating, playing and singing which proves that females are better at multi-tasking than men are. 
          click here for Twinnies' music video.

I did take German in the fifth grade and Spainish from the eighth grade. I like the German language better they don't talk a mile a minute.(end)

Where Did The 100 Come From?

About a month ago I posted this tweet on my stanleyinparis' account:  

But where did the number 100 come from ?

Simple a person can write the formula this way: 

X%  of  30 = 19.5

The percent sign "%" just by itself has a value of  1/100, so we simply replace the percent sign with the value of 1/100.

X (1/100) of 30 =19.5

X/100 of 30 =19.5 

30X/100 = 19.5

Ike He Is Not A Man

 Jackie  gives her present husband Ike money to pay the bills but instead of paying bills Ike has been spending the money on whiskey and other liquors that's when Jackie decided to drop Ike like a lead balloon and since the house is in her name Jackie tells Ike to get the hell out.

Jackie: "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, YOU SON OF A BITCH !

I HAVE NO CABLE, NO PHONE SERVICES AND THE WI-FI PEOPLE ARE NOT EVEN COMING."

"YOU DON'T EVEN THINK OF MY DAUGHTER VANESSA ONLY YOURSELF AND SHE  NEEDS A NEW ASTHMA INHALER IT'S  ABOUT OUT ! YOU  F**K-ING BITCH !"

Ike punches Jackie in the eye and then he pushes her daughter Vanessa on the floor. Vanessa runs upstairs and starts to cry. Later Vanessa braves up gets on her computer and goes on Facebook to tell her friends about her troubles then decides to text her very best friend to  please call the police.

 Days later at court the jury finds Ike guilty.

Vanessa: "Is my former dad going to be in jail for the rest of his life ?"

   

Jackie:"No, Honey, people in this state do not take wife and child beaters lightly. He is going to pay the ultimate price; That way a person would think twice before beating a child or woman !"

Jackie: "By the way, how did you get on the internet ?"

Vanessa explains:  " I was so excited to be on Wi-Fi  I couldn't wait!  A few days ago, I have had asked Ivy the old lady next door if I may piggy back on hers. She gave me  permission and a temporary password I can use, until we get Wi-Fi  of our own then she's going to change it back"

Jackie: "Vanessa, you are a very smart girl and  a life saver"

Vanessa: "Thank you and why was Ike so mean?"

Jackie:" People like that do not have love in their hearts especially pure love. I have pure love, you have pure love and Johnny who is going to be my new husband has pure love . You will love Johnny"

Vanessa: "Is Johnny going to be anything like Ike?"

Jackie: "No, honey, far from it. Johnny is mostly a fixer upper he knows plumping, electrical work, knows how to fix cars, trucks and in your case bicycles, he can't even stand to see a hole in a wall if he sees one he goes and fixes it"

"Right now Johnny is installing a new furnace for us. He was going to clean our old ten year old furnance, but decided to buy us a new one.. Something about the flames being yellow in a natural gas furnace. They should be blue with small yellow tips, if  the flames are entirely yellow it means the natual gas furnace is extremely dirty and needs cleaning" 


Jackie continues: "But one thing Johnny cannot fix, Vanessa, are your health problems he is not a doctor which  is why you have appointment in two weeks."

Three weeks later after Jackie's services have been restored thanks to Johnny paying the bills a nurse calls to talk about Vanessa's health.

Nurse:  "Jackie ? Vanessa does not need inhalers anymore.Don't let her use them, for some strange reason her asthma went away;That does happen in some cases, however she still does  have some pollutants in her lungs but that will go away in time"

Jackie tells Vanessa the good news and ask "Where is Johnny ?"

Vanessa: "Down in the basement checking the elements in our electric water heater"

Jackie yells down the basement stairs: "Johnny, honey, don't forget we are getting married tomorrow"

The next day Jackie and Johnny walks down the wedding aisle:

Johnny: "Oh look, honey, there's a hole in the church wall, I have to fix that !"

Jackie: "Worry about that later. Right now we're getting married"

What The Old Countrty Lady Had Heard.(PG-13)

One day an old lady started to knit in her rocking chair which was faced away from an opened window and her televison was turned off.Suddenly her neighbors Stanley and his friend Alice droved up after shopping in the city.

Talking about a car seat cover Stanley just had bought, here is what the old lady had heard:

Alice: "Okay, Stanley, unzipped it , take it out and put it over the car seat. I will  stretch it  far as it goes and tie it under the car seat". "Ooooh! My God Stanley, that is way too small ! I tell you what, let's drive back to the city and get you a new one"

On returning with a wider seat cover the old lady still in her rocking chair knitting heard more than she bargin for:

Alice: "Okay, Stanley like before unzip it and place it on top of the car seat "

Referring to one of the elastic straps Alice instructs Stanley: "Okay,Stanley pull on it, and stretch it out. and keep stretching it". "Oooh, dang, Stanley, you broke it. Now tie a knot in it !"

"That's it !" The old lady tought to herself  "I had heard enough.I'm going to my other room and take a nap, geeze !"

Let's Dispell The Black Cat Myth

One day I was eating inside of KFC and  Nancy a  female friend of mine who I haven't seen for a ages came through the door. She saw me and said "Awww, Stanley" she hugged me and kiss me on the cheek then something weird happen:  A teenage boy nearby  who saw the kiss  ran out of the door crying. We  figured that he must be one of the people from our town's mental health center.He even left his food on the table.

We're not psycologists, but we did assumed to get over  something like that he'll have  to face it head on. For example making him watch couples kissing over and over again ,in either real life or on TV, until it no longer bothers him.

But like I said before we are no psycologists.He may be even conditioned that way, so he will have no choice but to go back to his  psycologist over and over again to pay her/him more and more money.

So I am guessing for people that had their minds "poisoned" with the black cat myth since they were kids ,will have to walk pass a black cat's path over and over again until they are no longer scared and finally realize all this black cat business is  nonsense.

Maybe even start a club like the "Superstitions Dispelling Club". "The Black Cat Club" already has been taken and it's a nightclub in Washington, D.C.

.Just because something is read in a book or someone says something does not make it true.

Now there are some cats (felines)  you need to be afraid of like lions, tigers, pathners etc. That is understandable but to be afraid of a little black  house cat that goes" meow" that's ridiculous. See 30 second video below:

October 27th is National Black Cat Day in England and Ireland. August 17 th in the United States
