HIDING IN DREAMS

by Bill Cady on August 31, 2011

Sometimes, when we desperately need a refuge, the best place to hide is a dream. The daytime sort. They can be great spots to ride out a storm. Let’s face it, boys and girls, a whole lot of the crap we have to face every day wasn’t revealed to us when we began the process [...]

HIT IT WHERE THEY AIN’T

by Bill Cady on August 30, 2011

That’s a well known expression in the MLB, (Major League Baseball). It’s one of the big secrets to success, and holds a great deal of truth. Willie Keeler, thought to be the smallest man to ever play baseball for an extended period, (not gimmick players or one-hit wonders), set some records over 100 years ago [...]

How much does gasoline cost?

by Bill Cady on August 29, 2011

Depends on who’s buying it. When I bought gas about a week ago the regular 87 octane was $3.92 per gallon. (This post was written June 23rd). I had to stop and look a moment at what I just keyboarded in order to believe it’s true. On the 6th of November, 1970, the day before [...]

I DIDN’T MUCH LIKE THE GUY

by Bill Cady on August 27, 2011

Still, I had to live with him. No choice on that part. It hasn’t been short term, either. I first met him way the heck back in 1948. Those were the days where we had to watch TV in the dark because they hadn’t yet invented electricity. It was tough at times, on many occasions [...]

I WAS 11 MINUTES …

by Bill Cady on August 27, 2011

… into what I call a ‘betes nap when my cell phone rang. If my blood sugar, (I’m diabetic now), “crashes”, (too high or too low), I need a nap. They range from 10-75 minutes, then I’m okay. I stuck the earpiece in and pushed the button without looking, so I answered “hello” instead of [...]

IMPLANTS

by Bill Cady on August 26, 2011

A good idea, or a bad one? Recent news articles say the majority of women using the #1 implanted item, breast enhancers-enlargers, are experiencing trouble down the road. Pain, infections, slippage in many cases. (Pretty much guaranteed, with or without implants, much past age 60). What was initially installed to make a woman sexier can [...]

YOU GET MAD AT ME …

by Bill Cady on August 25, 2011

… because I politely point out something you did wrong to me? How many times has this happened to you? I suppose the motive to say something on this topic arose during the 1,592 days and nights I was homeless, sleeping in my car and being hassled by every imaginable figure of authority. Their number [...]

A KEY INSTEAD OF SEX

by Bill Cady on August 24, 2011

Girls were able to fool me for many years. Fool me badly, not just a little. No kinda-sorta to it. We’re talking “big-time baffle” and I’m not ashamed to admit it. My bam was boozled until I brought in a valued assistant known as “Diabetes”. I call my new buddy “‘Betes” and we get along [...]

POTPOURRI FOR AUGUST, 2011

by Bill Cady on August 24, 2011

On the waterfront: A holiday tradition … You can camp here … if you have a home and don’t need to camp. If you don’t have a home and you need to be there, you get ticketed. Deal with it. Prince William and Catherine to visit Skid Row … They stay busy “hobbing their nobs” [...]

LURKERS

by Bill Cady on August 23, 2011

Can’t say I coined the term. First I heard of it was circa 1994 when, as an internet newbie and lifelong freak about Irish wolfhounds, I found a group connected with the breed. They had a very bizarre “chat circle” set up by a guy named Mardon Erbland, (I am not making this up!), known [...]
