National Denise Day 2024
Denise








    
    Denise








I have a friend named Denise whom I haven't seen in a long time. Regardless, I still hold her memories dear to my heart and look forward to that day we might encounter each other once again. Lo, time drags with age but I remain hopeful.

Today is National Denise Day, a July 8th observance. The name is of French and Greek derivation.

Said to originate from the name Dennis which is further derived from Dionysius, the Greek deity of wine and festivity I read about in Bullfinch's Mythology so very long ago.

Despite the popularity of the name there remains just one Denise for me. Absence and the passage of time just makes the heart grow fonder. It's a somewhat elegiacal notion for me personally. Happy Denise Day wherever you are!

National Koi Day 2024
koi pond    
Yeah, like the Realtors always say:
Location, Location, Koi Pond

The Progressive Box

from the fictional reality show "Get That House."
Today is National Koi Day. It's a July 7th observance that I might not be the only round eye to love the Japanese Koi fish.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen long before Theresa Caputo bought Larry Caputo a Koi Pond and then got cheated upon then dumped like yesterday's garbage ...

I have admired Koi Ponds and the fish occupying thereto.

The Nishikigoi Amur carp populate these colorful wet additions to homes and gardens and I wouldn't mind having one myself only I'm not the construction oriented person to do this task.

Regardless, if you like pet aqua culture the Koi pond certainly can be for you.

So get out there and collect your fine collection of Gosanke and create that aquaculture wonderland.

... And even though they ARE quite edible, try not to feast upon them.

The ChefStore in Columbia
    ChefStore

I've been known to frequent the Chef'Store because they have items in quantities I might have to go to Sam's or Costco to purchase.

The "membership fee" is that thing I shun and will go out of my way to avoid both Costco and Sam's regarding. So when you think I need to pay you separately for the alleged privilege of buying merchandise from you think again. I don't need either Costco or Sam's

My mom is partial to their linen feel paper napkins and I agree they are a luxurious alternative to the lunch variety available in the grocery stores locally.

Then the individual portion chips by the case are a big favorite with the local children too.

Not to mention my personal favorite, the frozen shrimp and battered cod fish portions which I simply can't resist periodically.

So ... call me a glutton I enjoy those items I bypass the regular channels to obtain.

I hope you get a lot of what you want as well.

International Kissing Day 2024
young kisser    
I can't recall the last time I got all kissy faced and laid my lips on a lady.

Suffice it to say it's been years now. I've been told more than once that I am a "good kisser" whatever that means.

I always envisioned myself a family man but I'm afraid that juxtapositioned with a career wasn't flying. It seemed the relationship was always intruding into the career aims and I'm afraid that earnings simply spoke louder.

So today is International Kissing Day and it is that time to set out and get them lips.

Kissing is something people have done a long time. Unless you have rotten teeth or halitosis it can be pleasant for both individuals seeking a level of intimacy beyond proximity. It doesn't really matter which type of kiss to which you may personally subscribe. That underlying meaning to the individuals involved is more what the day is all about. So if you're so inclined and have a consenting partner go for it !

I'll simply remain where I am and wistfully remember those magic days gone by when love was in the air and I had lofty aspirations for other things than those with which I ended up.

Happy International Kissing Day.

National Bikini Day 2024
    bikini babe



We celebrate yet another National Bikini Day today.

It's a good time to head to the beach and check out how much scanty you might see draped across the beauty of the female of the species.

My adventurous days long over, I mostly live vicariously through the media representations of bikini clad babes I encounter as opposed to actually embarking on a mission to see them in person.

We rubber neckers and eye ballers use this day to celebrate the two piece bathing suit and believe me, I do.

So if you're so inclined get all slatered in sun screen and do some sight seeing.

There are far worse things than appreciation of that astounding natural beauty surrounding us ...

Particularly at the beach or on the waterways.

Happy National Bikini Day to you !

Mouse Woes
Rival 3 piece of shit    
So it's not bad enough that Windows 10 is the worst piece of intrusive mess crafted by the shitbird company called Microsoft run by a nasty yesman sand negro and owned by a stupid god complex billionaire psychopath out to kill everybody on the planet.

I had issues with several mice attached to the workstation of late. I remain unhappy since the last Windows reset which was interfered with by Microsoft numerous times in the form of attempts to force one drive on me (like that was ever happening) and other pains in the ass. I bought this Rival 3 p.o.s. at Walmart to replace the two pieces of logitech junk I returned. I downloaded their software configuration package which turned out to be a 350 meg monstrosity of an installer. I ended up removing the entire package from my machine with extreme prejudice.

Why would a mouse require that much overhead? I suppose the casual gamer can be snowed by some other idiots but this simply was not going to fly with me.

I'm sick of stupid gamers and their stupid ploys which end up revealing they are simply dull and commonplace. I want a mouse that can stand alone and work well in the presence of an operating system written by a company of morons.

I hate Microsoft, manufacturer of Windoze.

I hate Steelseries, gamer lunkhead manufacturer of the Rival 3 mouse.

I'm surrounded by incompetence.

World UFO Day 2024

Yes, though I've not been a witness to any of them in person I believe in UFOs. I don't subscribe to all the governmental bull like "UAP" which is their attempt to further suppress anything and everything they know since Roswell.

My experience with the various records of UFOs and my interactions with the work of Dr Steven Greer have convinced me of what they are and that they are not the problem in the universe. The military industrial establishment of the Earth is.
 

UFO


So today is World UFO Day. I choose not to be a part of any globalist celebration. Instead I will make a case for their existence and circulate what little knowledge I have for indeed:

The government of the United States seeks weaponizion of everything, including UAPs, UFOs, and extraterrestrial technology. They steal patents from taxpayers claiming "national security". They're sitting on free energy for the world so that the fossil fuel companies can continue their death grip. This is the results of the election of exquisitely weak presidents like Truman and Eisenhower who failed to take full control at a critical juncture.

The majestic 12 should have been executed as the traitors they are.

The worst thing that has ever happened to the world is the murdering shadow government and military industrial complex of the United States of America.

Happy World UFO Day.

Wrong Trousers Day 2024
    Meet the Browns

When I was teaching college I frequently caught Tyler Perry's "Meet the Browns" on the television out in rural Aiken County.

The hallmark of many of the episodes were the outrageous trousers (and shirts) worn by the lead character "Brown". I say, I even went dressed as Brown one Halloween ...

But I'm afraid I was not well received. However, that group in which I circulated was a treacherous bunch of hypocritical back stabbers. I now have had another group comprising my inner circle for many years now.

Today is Wrong Trousers Day.

It is a July 1 this year and is a Brit construct which has migrated across the pond.

It is a vehicle for the support and funding of hospitals and hospices across the United Kingdom.

It's a day to don the most wacky pants you have and parade them around proudly — like Brown did on the televison show.

The Brits say donate to the cause for the "right to look wrong".

The day is designed to raise awareness, fundage, and a few eyebrows.

Go get them !

Social Media Day 2024
blog in tiles    
I don't engage much social media compared to what's out there.

I have never been a twitter/x member. I have never facebooked. I have never myspaced. I have never had any desire to join the chinese communist tiktok fray. It's all too pretentious and I simply do not tolerate much in the way of exploits in the name of social interaction.

Today is Social Media Day.

Ostensibly it's a recognition of that impact social media has on society. Aside from the various pockets of resisting individuals I suppose that's basically true. I just feel that some take it entirely too seriously. When social media attacks can have people killing themselves I feel that there was a distinct lack of parental intervention and guidance.

Yeah, I maintain my own social media server. It includes various sketches and things I choose to share. I have a blog and it too is available to any and all who do not attempt exploits.

Unfortunately, so many have no desire to access my assets aside from exploitation and this has resulted in a very healthy set of firewall rules and countermeasure scripting of my own design.

I dare say that it took all the fun out of it for me personally.

So should you find yourself a member of X more power to you. If you rumble go for it vigorously. There are so many outlets from which to choose. Try to itemfix or bitchute for the right reasons. Personal enjoyment is the only reason I ever go there.

Happy Social Media Day.

Midsummer Day 2024
    Midsummer Day 2024
So we're halfway through the harvest season bringing us to Midsummer.

This holiday celebrates that traditional midpoint as well as the summer solstice which went down on Thursday, June 20th this year; marking our longest day in the Northern Hemisphere.

It commonly features a maypole dance. The last time I participated in a Maypole dance I was in the third grade at Aragona Elementary School in Virginia Beach, Virginia and they could never get me out there to prance around some pole with the girls ever again.

The day traditionally starts the beginning of warm weather. I can attest to the fury of the southern heat around here lately. This week we're having afternoon and evening showers and it provides a respite from the furnace we navigate otherwise.

There are countless regional traditions associated with Midsummer's Day and I hope you participate in those which appeal to your sense of personal history.

Me, I'm just trying to stay cool.

National Insurance Awareness Day 2024
medicare    
It has been my experience that insurance is over rated. I think the concept is that you have to pay money "in case something happens".

When nothing happens you never get any of that money back. So now I am very judicious in those insurance policies I acquire.

For example, upon meeting the age requirement I was told that I "must" apply for social security and medicare. Then I learn that medicare part B has a premium associated with it. I declined to opt into part B for that reason. I was told that should I ever want it later that there would be a "significant penalty".

I won't EVER be applying for medicare part B for that reason.

So now I maintain homeowners insurance, automobile insurance, and medicare part A.

That's it.

I handle my own medical expenses because I have the wherewithall to make decisions in my best interests whereas the government can only pull scamdemics and covid malarky with bad actors like Anthony Fauci who would all monetize their frauds to make money on the death and destruction which has become the hallmark of the us democrat party scumbags.

It is said that "everybody needs insurance". That sounds like something some mafioso might say with a gun pointing at you. Insurance is a racket. The government is a racket. There are none of the checks and balances we learned of in civics class and quite frankly ...

I reject it all as the bunk that it is.

Today is National Insurance Awareness Day. It is a vehicle to amass as many suckers for the insurance racket as possible. Yeah, if you want to pay premiums out the yin yang and have something for an intentional fire to get out of your responsibilities then I guess it's for you.

Crooks attract other crooks.

Unfortunate events happen. Suck it up however you see fit — including a nice expensive insurance policy or two.

Improved Server Rationale
    another firewall

So the mail server will now allow mail ports from any IP not blocked by a server control file. Those IP addresses who attempt to utilize other ports will be firewalled in accordance with the appropriate IP tables.

This was effected in an attempt not to have to play around excessively with the mail server, i.e. block everyone in the presence of a few exploiters.

So the web server will stop you dead in your tracks over 80 and 443 if you transgress my content with some attempt at exploitation.

Inasmuch as those are the only ports open anyhow I suppose it doesn't make too much difference. I remain amused at the attempts such as that to exploit the USB ports over 80 or 443 as if you were really going anywhere. I just wish the general populace were more behaved when it comes to the internet of things belonging to someone else.

Sometimes our cohorts really don't have a clue ... or any manners.

National Sunglasses Day 2024
sunglasses    
Never was much for the wearing of shades even though I'll admit to the extra UV light protection they afford.

They were very popular in Southern California back in the late 1970s early 1980s when I was there and I suppose that being a part of that lifestyle is most of the aversion for me personally.

I just didn't see a need to amass a collection like some of my friends, nor did I ever care to don them upon encountering intense sunlight.

I suppose I was just lazy or of another mindset.

So not everyone really feels the need for or likes shades despite the conventional wisdom.

Today is National Sunglasses Day. It goes down on June 27 annually.

Wear them if you got them.
