- The Crud has vanquished me ...
-
The past few days have found me quite ill. While I used to pride myself on the fact that I never got sick around yon seventh I found myself struck down in my tracks by the flu or whatever and was bedridden for several days.
This left my dear mama to fend for herself which is something I don't ususually do.
The "crud" is a common term used to describe a range of mild, viral upper respiratory infections, often characterized by symptoms like a runny or stuffy nose, cough, sore throat, and low-grade fever.
WHell ... I don't know just what "mild" implies but my personal feelings are that when you feel you're on your death bed whatever you're going through is ANYTHING but "mild."
Suffice it to say I'm on the mend and will make all attempts not to neglect the blog as recent events forced me to feel as necessary.
Thank you for putting up with my sicko self.

- National Periodic Table Day 2025
-
There was a time when I became enamored with the periodic table and felt compelled to learn the elements — to the point that I thought it should be included in everyone's education. Well ... though that timeframe was protracted I came to my senses long before the avent of The Big Bang Theory having given in up somwhere in the early 1980s for medical pursuits.
The periodic table aka the periodic table of the elements is an ordered arrangement of the chemical elements into rows which represent periods and columns which represent groups. They depict 'Periodic Law' which states when the elements are arranged in order of their atomic numbers an approximate recurrence of their properties may be observed.
Today we have National Periodic Table Day. It happens each Febrary 7 since 2016 under the auspices of one Mr David T Steineker of the Jefferson County Public School in Kentucky for reasons which remain largely unpublished. The chart remains the original idea of Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev, the Russian Chemist who used periodic law to correct some then accepted properties of some elements and also predict three such as the valence and atomic weight of uranium and three elements which remained undiscovered.
Here here to our chemical scientists who have led the way and to Mr David T Steineker for supporting the chart which puts it all together.

- National Lame Duck Day 2025
-
Stupid democrats. The scourge of The Republic. Part and parcel of everything wrong in the USA.
Luckily the voters spoke loudly and ejected them from both The White House and much of Congress.
Today is National Lame Duck Day.
It is observed each February 6 in observance of the day the 20th Amendment was passed, reducing what’s known as the congressional "lame duck period" or the weeks between the congressional elections and their inauguration day.
During this time, elected officials on their way out of office tend to have less clout and are just waiting for their term to end, thus, they are considered lame ducks.
Most of us who care about the nation were praying for the day the Biden Harris debacle came to an end.
There are other types of political lame ducks that also deserve our attention today so read on to learn more about celebrating National Lame Duck Day!
Stupid Biden couldn't do anything except honor his fellow criminals with gold medals not meant for the criminal element he supports.
Joseph Biden was a lame duck from his first day in office. He was not making decisions, which I feel were delegated to the Obama pervert foreigner brigands.
Boo democrats. Boo Joe Biden. Boo Obama perverts.
Diminished capacity or not you are still a bunch of crooks, criminals, and riff-raff.

- National Weatherman's Day 2025
-
I typically avoid the mainstream media.
This is because I have heard them lie many times regarding items of fact that I am aware.
This because they choose to misrepresent those people who defy them like President Trump.
This is because they represent much of what is stupid in the United States today.
Today is National Weatherman’s Day aka National Weatherperson’s Day.
It is observed each fifth of February and honors the meteorologists, weather forecasters, and broadcast meteorologists and storm spotters and observers. It is held on the birthday of one of the first weather observers in the United States, one John Jeffries known as the Father of American Weather Observation, who began taking daily measurements in 1774.
There are those who say I am quick to group the liars with the non liars in the mainstream media.
My issues surround the protection of the guilty by others in their enterprise.
Efren Afante is not someone I consider to be part of the credibility problem in the mainstream media.
HOWEVER, I say if you don't clean up your own house from a standpoint of truth and relevancy then you deserve what you get.
Happy National Weatherman’s Day or National Weatherperson’s Day. Whatever you choose to call it.

- USO Day 2025
-
My fondest memories of the Navy back during my hitch days were at the USO in Naples, Italy. There was a storefront location in a fine old wooden building with tables and chairs inside. I would go there and hang out infrequently seeing how there was always something else to do as well.
Friendly people, things to do and say. In all, it was a nice interlude for someone like me who sought a break from some of the rigors of the military and life at sea.
Today is USO Day. It is held each February 4 — being the birthday celebration of the American nonprofit-charitable corporation known as the United Service Organizations Inc.
It provides live entertainment, care packages, and much more, the USO is the bridge connecting overseas soldiers to their friends, families, and homes.
The USO partnered with the War Department, and later with the Department of Defense (DoD), to serve everyone in military life. They certainly have been a blessing in my life.
The USO has it's beginning in the efforts of WW2 social reformer one Mary Ingraham who was requested by President Roosevelt to provide services for those in military attachments internationally because he felt they need to be cheered up.
This was the beginnin of the USO which is a conglomerate of 6 other service organizations providing entertainment and a connection to home for all of those serving in the military.
After WW2 the USO was disbanded only to find itself revived as a function of the "cold war" and become chartered in the late 1970s.
They were there when I needed a friendly face and somewhere to go far from home.
I hope they stay for all the other service people around the world as well.
Happy USO Day.

- National Missing Persons Day 2025
-
I know of missing persons in my area; although I do not know them personally.
However, they impacted me as the result of those with whom I have interacted nonetheless.
Today is National Missing Persons Day. It happens each February 3 annually.
The day seeks to draw attention to those thousands of missing persons across the country and to bring awareness to the general public regarding them in the hopes of increasing the chances of them being found.
National Missing Persons Day was established May 25, 1983
Adults and children both may become missing during their activities of daily living.
Many are never seen or heard from again.
I chalk it up mostly to poor decisions made by those individuals leading up to their disappearance.
While I wish them well it's all too often we read of other tragedies at the hands of criminal elements which come to the fore.
I do not personally feel that I have ever been in danger of becoming captured and going missing.
I feel it's because of my personal attraction to pugilism, weapon techniques and firearms, as well as the acts associated with hand to hand combat which makes me a formidable adversary upon which someone might attempt to prey.
No, I don't believe I will ever go missing but that doesn't mean you won't.
Be careful out there.
Don't bring a stick to a gun fight.

- Self Renewal Day 2025
-
Today is Self Renewal Day. It is observed each February 2 annually.
The reason for the observance is that people might both improve themselves enhance personal skill sets toward that end.
Self-renewal implies anything done daily for personal growth.
The stepping out of comfort zones and attempting those behaviors which enhance growth and maturity are where this will lead you.
Those are the activities which improve the personality thorough an experiential world inventory beyond that they normally acquire.
These self renewal activities typically boost the mood and enhances the confidence of those participating.
Health maintenance and those things which encompass a lifestyle of good hygiene, nourishment, and the avoidance of toxic additions to the day make you decidedly more self aware and inclined to comport yourself well in the public eye.
Meditation, exercise, and time spent with those for whom you care are simply that cake you enjoy as a result of taking care of business.
Self renewal is a lifestyle choice. Botox is remains simply a pathetic adjunct.

- Spunky Old Broads Day 2025
-
Well, I guess it's a "good" thing. Today is Spunky Old Broads Day, meant to pay homage to the 50 and older set of the female persuasion.
Some are good, others bad.
The politics of some of the females lean too leftist libtard for my personal tastes.
It is held under the auspices of one Dr Gayle Carson since 2002. The general crux of the observance revolves around life not ending at the 50 year mark for women.
This is all part of a larger observance called Spunky Old Broads Month. I don't know, visualizing 'spunk' in conjunction with females really doesn't connote anything I might pursue.
The general consensus is that this observance is not just for old women.
The literature mentions how it describes all women as Spunky, Open, and Brave (SOB) puhLEEZE.
So, I suppose it's alright as long as you bathe frequently and not become some nasty smelly female.
Many body odors simply are not conducive to anything I care to be around. Sometimes the parfum just makes it all worse.
Whatever may be, I say go for it for I personally have no more zeal nor passion. It's lonely up here at the bottom.

- International Zebra Day 2025
-
The zebra. We encroach on their habitat more each year as they rapidly become endangered.
Kenya and Ethiopia as well as Namibia, South Africa, and Anglola are where they presently trot around.
I think they should bring a bunch of them to Martha's Vinyard to live with that resident pervert zebra and his fugly man playing chick with a dick wife, big Mike. Let Cape Cod suffer those consequences of the actions of their horse ass stank pervert foreigner citizen. ☠
Or better yet put the brigands Obama in an oak box closed with ten penny nails spaced at half inch intervals and ship them back to Kenya where they belong. Just drop the box somewhere from a plane above the Chalbi Desert mdash; or the Nyiri Desert which is aka Taru Desert or The Nyika.
Today is International Zebra Day. It is an annual January 31st ocurrence to speak of their diminishing natural habitat and the human development responsible for it.
The thrust of the day is conservation. Of the three types of Zebras on the Earth the entire population has lost over half of it's animals. Poaching has been the biggest problem in the past 30 years with hides and pelts being a marketable booty.
So as the battle for survival of the zebra rages on we might attempt to do more than simply stare at them and their plight.
Happy International Zebra Day.

- National Draw a Dinosaur Day 2025
-
When I was a kid I was into dinosaurs.
I shared that aspect of myself with my nieces and nephews much later in the form of large picture books with the scientific names and other information and they ate it all up from my perspective.
I was always keen on making them smarter, but alas only the females took the academic bait.
The boy children remained largely stupid exhibiting all manner of boisterous, irresponsible, and antisocial behaviors.
Today is National Draw a Dinosaur Day.
It happens each January 30 since 2007 under the auspices of one Todd Page who was an anthropology student compelled to effort the giants of prehistory.
So he registered the day and the rest we say is history.
If you share that attraction for these gigantoid reptiles and birds of yesteryear then by all means, join in and do your own sketch.
Mine is of a fictious reptile called Indomitus Rex from the Jurassic Park franchise. Yours can be real or otherwise.
Happy National Draw a Dinosaur Day.

- Curmudgeons Day 2025
-
It's Curmudgeons Day. Time to honor all we cranky and fussy persons populating the Earth. While I am one to attempt some semblence of decorum and comportment there are those who shuck it all and be who they really are.
Could I possibly hold being who you really are against you ?
Nope !
The word ‘curmudgeon’ refers to ill-tempered, disagreeable, and quarrelsome prone people. I am mostly amused by those curmudgeon I encounter. Certainly I am said to be a curmudgeon periodically. Today is the day we should tolerate their presence. Curmudgeons Day is their day.
The day is celebrated on the birth anniversary of the American actor, comedian, writer, and juggler, William Claude Dukenfield aka W.C. Fields.
If you're grumpy, grouchy, want to give a lot of people crap in the best traditions of woke bitch Sunny Hostin on The View ...
If it's in you let it out. If you're observing it let it alone. Today is Curmudgeons Day. Let the venting begin !

- National Daisy Day 2025
-
Daisies are a favorite among the flowers which grow near my home.
This is because I have seen so many of them I have become somewhat of a quasi student of their form and colors.
The delicate petals and shades of color have always struck me as a thing of beauty and a joy forever ...
Today is National Daisy Day which is held each January 28.
Time to celebrate simplicity and variety.
Time to note the daisy.
The flowers are native to the Northern European areas of the world and they are all over the place at this time.
The name is derived from the words "day's eye" because many of them close their petals at dusk.
While daisies were once considered just weeds they are now pinnacles of the garden adding a splash of color to the various other things populating the plants there.
You can grow them in pots, sew the seeds directly into the ground and regardless they can flourish and add beauty to where you live.

Back in the old days I taught at college. It was during this time that I took a keen interest in the education of my sibling's children.
I would get them various toys I felt were educational, built them a jamming (at that time) computer, added an inkjet printer, and installed all manner of software.
I also picked the two most academically spirited for subscriptions to National Geographic which I maintained for a great number of years.
I believe it was 10 or so years apiece for the two girls. The boy troglodyte relatives never impressed me with a willingness to study ... or even attempted to express anything intelligent at all.
I only hope it assisted them along their pathway of personal growth. At this juncture one is a school teacher and the other is a grants program manager for the University from which she graduated. These are not what I personally consider to be adequate outcomes. Perhaps my wishes for their careers was quite a bit too lofty.
Today is National Geographic Day. It is a January 27 happening in the United States.
This day pays homage to "National Geographic Magazine" that publication which has been in print for over a century and covers a wide range of topical data from science, geography, history, and international culture.
I did the subscription thing due to my attraction to the magazine in grade school. I used to love to peruse each magazine from cover to cover. It is a historical and anthropological smorgasboard of interest facts, figures, and illustrations.
I am sorry to say that neither of those nieces who received the subscriptions remember them or anything else I tried to do to enhance their educations. Luckily, I am left feeling that it didn't matter anyway.
It's a sad tale, but true. All too often we forget those who were in our corner at those critical junctures which made the difference for us personally.

- Dental Drill Appreciation Day 2025
-
I recently had a dental visit after about 10 years or so.
There was serious interior degredation of the right superior molar due to amalgam being put in the tooth against my expressed wishes. Essentially there was decay from "the inside out".
I went to the place I typically go and met the third dentist to hang his shingle there during the existence of the place.
The location is Soda City Dentistry 1801 Charleston Hwy Ste A, Cayce, SC 29033 (803)-794-5430.
https://www.sodacitydentistry.com/
My first dentist was Dr Rick Jackson, the amalgam freak. My second dentist was Dr Nick Pournaras , who had really impressive skills. My last visit was with Dr Rob Guerriero whom I think has impressive skills in his own right.
The visit went well. The post op pain was about a 2 week thingie but totally mild.
I am now sitting pretty with two new crowns in a year.
Dr Nick placed the first. Dr Rob installed the second.
Today is Dental Drill Appreciation Day. It is an annual happening each January 26th.
Few patients would think that the dental drill should be celebrated.
It is however a tool of the dentist which has undergone extensive evolution over the years and I dare say the pain associated with it has never been something I have experienced.
So whether you see a lot of drill action or not, dental care is an important aspect of modern life if you prefer to exist with minimal decay and subsequent stank bref.
For some of us fresh breath is the priority.
I recommend Dr Rob Guerriero at Soda City Dentistry for your dental care without reservation.
