This is a true story of an amateur psychologist name Betty who lives about 15 miles west from me.
One day at work she wanted everyone to come to some event during the weekend, and when she had asked "Who is going?" nobody had raise their hands,so Betty had asked again, but this time angrily, hands did show up that time,from almost everyone, except mine, I had my heart set going to the movies, and thought to myself what could she do ? Hang me by the thumbs?
Another "psychology" trick she tried to do is pretend to be a different person ,with a different personalities ,to see which "person" the co-workers would liked best. Just because something is stated in a book doesn't make it true.
Betty probably thought raising her voice, people would do what she wanted, but all that did in reality is to make people wish she had laryngitis.
I did see Betty once driving her car about 85 miles per hour on a country dirt road with her family and friends.I know math and would know what speed she was actually going.
When I was in Betty's small town some years ago she avoided driving down the ditch by running over a miniature collie and killing it, just to protect the looks of her damn car. If Betty did go down the ditch the car would still have been drivable.
I myself would have driven down the small ditch spearing the little kid's heart. After all, insurance probably would have covered most of it; But that is not what is important here!
Because of Betty's wrong sense of priorities, a little boy's heart got broken.

Best Way To Play The Roulette Wheel.
You're at the casino playing the roulette wheel, What's the best way to play ? Just play only once then walk away regardless if you win or lose. Why ? Well, I will show you using math :)
Roulette wheels have numbers on them from 1 to 36 some have a zero and double zero making it 38 numbers.
The odds playing the first time is either 1 out of 36 or 1 out of 38 depending on the roulette wheel. If you play just one number for $1 you will receive $35 if you win.$2 bet $70 and up from there.
Odds of playing the roulette wheel for the first time:
1 out of 36 (without a double zero roulette wheel)
1 out of 38 ( with a double zero roulette wheel)
Now you're playing for the second time what are your odds ?
{ (1/36) x (1/36) } or 1 out of 1296 (without a double zero roulette wheel)
{ (1/38) x ( 1/38) } or 1 out of 1444 (with a double zero roulette wheel)
Now let's play for the third time:
{ (1/36) x (1/36) x (1/36) } or 1 out of 46,656 (without a double zero roulette wheel)
{ (1/38) x (1/38) x (1/38) } or 1 out of 54,872 (with a double zero roulette wheel).
Sure you can bet on more than one number at the same game, but the cash winnings go down.For example if you play two numbers for $1 you will receive only $11 if you win, and down from there depending how many numbers you play in one game
.Odds are always in favor of the house.

As you can see the more you play, the more the odds are against you !
So, simply put, just play once and bet only on one number then see what happens then walk away.In the unlikely event you do win just take your money and walk away; Do not play more than once.
Sure you can bet on more than one number at the same game, but the cash winnings go down.For example if you play two numbers for $1 you will receive only $11 if you win, and down from there depending how many numbers you play in one game
.Odds are always in favor of the house.

More On The German Twins (1963)
First off I never did have sex with Allison and Heidi our relationship was totally platonic. Of course, that does not exclude hugs and kisses.
When the twins knock me down to the ground, or more precisely, when I allowed them to knock me down to the ground I wanted them to kiss me so badly, but even that never did happen.I myself refrain from kissing them, I didn't want them mad at me or lose them as friends. I love them that much.I forsake the kisses for their friendship.After all, people especially females are not toys.
Their beautiful faces where only inches from my face when I was "pinned" down. Looking into their very beautiful eyes,seeing their red ruby lips,yes they were wearing lipstick , feeling their brown wavy hair on my face and smelling their perfumes they were wearing.
In fact they got their perfume smells all over my shirt and the rest of my skin and clothing.
After "playtime" was over I went home and placed the perfumed shirt into a big transparent plastic bag to keep as a souvenir.I would still have the perfumed shirt today, but my mom had to washed it. I wanted to open the bag occasionally, to take a whiff of the twin's perfume, before I went off to bed for dreamland ,and to dream about the German twins.
My toxic uncle Don didn't want anything to do with any Germans not even the Japanese because of WWII. In fact he told me if I keep socializing with the German girls he will cut me off from his will, but his words were meaningless.I was in love.
When I got a job I made my own money which I would never share with my toxic uncle; MY MONEY !
He did not even want our German twins' gift a Fußball (Foossball) game table inside our house, or least he wanted it to be in the attic.We never did get rid of it, we played it !--War is not the peoples' fault but the governments'.
Loving the German identical twins made me exercise more and even did better at my homework getting grades of A's and B's.I cannot describe how I felt in those days but I felt very well.
I heard somewhere that Hitler may still be alive using an assume name, but if he died good; No tears shed, celebrations instead; If still alive he can see his failures.
Even to this day I love the German people; They will always have a place in my heart, especially Allison and Heidi.
All races and even disabled people are welcome in Germany now. Hitler failed big time :)

Invisible Ghost Causing Squeaky Stairs
An old man is sleeping and suddenly hears his stairs creaking as if a ghost or an invisible man is walking up and down the stairs.
It is not ghosts or invisible people ,it is expansion and compression causing the wood boards to creak depending on the temperature and/or weather changes. Not because some "ghost" is walking up and down the stairs.
Should one worry about creaky stairs or even floors ? No, if one does not hear the creaks it could either mean the floor boards were nailed too tight or someone fixed the creaks by putting small mental screws underneath the floors plywood.
These mental screws will also expand or compress along with the floor boards making them still safe; After all, having the floor board too tight will cause problems, like splitting into two or more pieces causing holes and weaken floors.

My Late Brother Larry
My brother Larry died on Christmas day 2017 at the age of 74. I do not have many pictures of Larry just a few of his baby pictures, but I have memories of him which I will share.
I believe I was only 4 years old, my parents were burning leaves and I walked too close to the flames and my right leg caught on fire.
Naturally, I was crying and screaming. Larry came out to help , drop me to the ground and rolled me until the fire was out.
At my very young age I thought he was picking on me while I was still in pain.
It turned out that he was reading his boy Scott book that day.
One day my brother brought in an aquarium tank filled with guppies that probably was a take home class project.
Once Larry went off to school my sister and I took the guppies out of the water ,put them on a tray so they wouldn't drown.
We were very young, we didn't know anything about gills. Larry was disappointed.
My brother is the one who taught me how to play chess. It started when I had placed chess pieces on just the black squares of a checker board.
He taught me how to set up the chess board right, how the pieces move and the rules of the game.
In a few weeks I thought he was cheating with moves such as "en passant" and "castling" but they were legit.
Below a very short video of Larry in his pontoon boat 1986:

When Larry was 18 he joined the armed forces. Once the terms were up for one he enlisted into another. The goal of course is to make money a nest egg if you will.
My mom, Mary, told him "Larry, you're going to be a very old man before your time !"
Larry replied back saying: "Yes, but I will be a very rich old man !"
Larry was on the navy ship 'Enterprise" in 1968

Self Suggestions Being Evil
Seems like there is too much violent against kids cause by kids especially teenagers. Are these sick teenagers actually playing real life video games? In my opinion I believe so.
There are music and movies with very violent themes especially violent music with lyrics like "I'm going to hurt this person", "I'm going to hurt this person" saying same sentences over and over again. without the teenagers realizing that they may be actually being hypnotize to do harm to other people, especially when they are under 17 years of age.
What's worse these teens drink alcohol and do street drugs making them more susceptible to the violent lyrics and maybe acting out those violence acts in the real world.
If a parent buys a violent killing video game for the kids, at least make sure they are at least 17 years of age or older. I am way over the age 17 and still I will never never never play 'Grand Thief Auto"or other similar games. What's wrong with playing a game of pacman?
Please, always check the video game rating.
Of course these statements are just my opinions but every one has the right to my opinions. :)
On a more positive note
They say when kids are at the age of 10, the boys and girls cannot stand each other, but not always. I liked girls when I was the age of 10, even much younger than that, I was smitten with Edie Adams when I was only 5 years old.
I do not know if it just happens naturally or if I was influence with the songs I heard "Alvin's Harmonica" and "Thank Heaven For Little Girls". Both songs can be played below:

Doing A 360 On A Chained Swing
In the 1950's when I was a kid my mom drove me to Glen Echo Park located in Columbus,Ohio.My mom sat in one of the swings and I was in the next one to her.
There were other kids playing in the park .so I decided to show off, by doing a 360 in a swing. I kept going faster and faster until I reached 100 degrees in the air, that's when the chain disconnected from one of the supporting hooks and I had fallen down to the hard ground crying.
While I was crying two pretty girls about my age raced up to me saying "Awww!" and started to kiss my cheeks, one of them close to my mouth. The kisses made me feel a little better, but I was still in extreme pain.
My mom drove me back home and called our family doctor.In the 1950's doctors did make house calls.I had no broken bones, prescribed pain pills and ordered bed rest.
Now I beginning to think that doing a 360 in a chained swing unaided is impossible and is very dangerous.

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 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).
