Clintons in the White House!

Back in the bad old days or maybe a few years after, we had old Slick Willie and Hellery in the double wide permanently parked at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The place was right lively back then, what with old Slick chasing anything with a skirt and a pulse around the House and Hellery on her third martini by 9:00 - A.M., not P.M. I have it on first hand authority she whizzed an ashtray at him, and I don't know how the Secret Police handled it. If you're in the SS, your first priority is protecting your assignment from harm, so... an ashtray to the head? In my mind, that's when the gloves come off. I would have been inclined to turn her over my knee, bare her ample behind, and use my belt on her until one was a bright red and the other was worn out.

But that's all water over the dam, or something. There's not much left but the fallout, and that's something. I got this over at Zero Hedge, and I think it's worth looking at.  

My Gout Condition

 and a few other things.

I'm taking prednisone 20 mg. tablet, 3 tablets per day; loose leaf Pu Erh tea; and Tart cherry juice. One of these items is making me fart non-stop, and given that my diet does not include Tex-Mex Tacos or chili or broccoli, I'm betting it's the prednisone. But maybe not.

As of this writing, I'm better but not completely mended, and my irregular heart beat returned last night. This means a call to my witch doctor and to my cardiologist.

The fun just never ends.

I missed my mother's day post, which irritates me. In lieu of some kind of traditional post, I'll write a few anecdotes about my dear mother. Read on as it amuses you to do so.

I'm Stove Up

I don't know just how or what happened, but my left knee refuses to bend without causing me excruciating pain. Pain scale of one to ten, when I'm at rest and the left leg is straight, it's level two or three. Try to get out of bed or get out of my chair, and it's a solid 8. Walk with a straight leg is maybe a five or so.

Doctor's appoint tomorrow. We'll see what he says.

And, should you check the rainfall in Columbus, OH, you'll note that it's a swamp right now. My sump pump is running every 7 to 10 minutes for about 10 to 15 seconds. My best plumber told me to hang tough so long as the basement was dry (it is) and if things don't settle down by the weekend to give him a call.

I may send out for a pizza.
