YMA Sumac or Lettuce

Is YMA Sumac truly popular on her own or could Wilted Lettuce replace her?  I’m sure that YMA Sumac is extremely talent (see link below) yet  if a doodle of Wilted Lettuce was put in front of the Google Search engine I’m sure it would get a similar amount of searches.  A matter of fact that Lettuce would probably help a whole bunch of “Veggie Tales” and do much to help increase the stock price of “Chopped”.  Google’s power in the doodle world is unprecedented and I’m sure Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton wouldn’t mind appearing before November 8th depending on which Doodle in chosen. It might even effect which real image is presented at the White House on 1/20/2017.

Petting or Pettie

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

  Is it best to be the one receiving the pet or the one giving it, that is the question?  For the one who receives such a rub is  having a light massage while the one who performs such an act is showing a tender touch.  Normally you might conclude it’s best to receive then to give but when they turn to their belly for a scratch the whole experience gets mixed up. I guess it also depends on how soft the hair/fur is, how long the petting is asked for, and whether you receive a clean lick in between.  Or maybe just as in the Chicken and the Egg it will never be solved so enjoy whether you give or receive…. a little scratch behind my ear would be nice.

Pneumonia Scare

Hillary Clinton’s reporting that she has Pneumonia after passing out is going to make many more people weary when other’s might cough around them.  Maybe it will be good in the sense that people who have a persistent cough will be more likely to visit a doctor before it becomes too serious but it will also make others react to other’s coughing as if they are coming to down with Ebola let alone Pneumonia. Therefore it is incumbent that leaders in the public openly and quickly speak about an illness that they might be suffering if not for their own benefit then at least to prevent fear in the general public.

Even in DREAMS

I thought I’d get a break when my eye’s were shut but even in my dreams I can’t remember a person/image name.  Yes I actually had a dream where I forgot the name of the person/image I was speaking to or thinking about.  It was as frustrating as it is in real world but at least he was an only an image in my head. Too bad this dream will come true today.

Monday Stock Picks- Bottom Dwellers

searching-for-gold stock-market-2

Today I look for wealth underneath the rocks for the stocks that appear to be bottom dwellers have more Gold then them then many can see through the murky waters.  These 4 stocks have hit their 52 week low so at least one has room to rise. Here are the four me and my financial adviser will be looking into. WHICH ONE WOULD YOU OR WILL YOU CHOOSE?

(1) Brown Forman (BFA)– Is one of the prime manufactures of liquor and even when things aren’t going so well people will reach out for a glass of their products.

(2) BJ’S Restaurant (BJRI)- This restaurant has better quality food then a Friday’s and Apple bees but is in a similar price range.  There is always something to enjoy at or with it.

(3) Merrimack Pharmaceuticals (MACK) – Is investigating in Cancer fighting drugs but appears to have hit some road block probably from the FDA. Their cause might be worth investing in for not only the financial return but what they seek to achieve.

(4) Norwegian Cruise  (NCLH)- The economy might soften but enough to stop people from going on a great escape? Cruising is still a fairly inexpensive way to travel with loved ones because most items are included so I’m not sure a dip in the economy will have such a detrimental effect to industry.

 

Like it YOURSELF

It is best if what you desire is just enjoyed by you rather then anyone else. Who needs to invite jealousy that can lead to unethical actions such as stealing and stalking. If it is truly “your precious” you can enjoy it in peace and quiet without worrying about someone else looking over your shoulder in the dark or light. Of course enjoying the moment is best when shared with another but two is a couple and three can become a crowd.  Whether this be the car, artwork or even the person your with the less desire from the outside world the more peace in your head and ability for it stay with you.

Trump & Clinton Supporters UNITE!

It is time that the Trump & Clinton supporters unite and demand that their respective candidates receive a full independent medical check up at Walter Reed National Medical Center (or similar location) and realize the full contents of this check up to the American people.  This shouldn’t be a partisan issue but an issue of basic national security to determine if the person who seeks to become our commander and chief has the physical and mental ability to fulfill this duty. Surely if we demand that individual who seek to serve their country in the military or police force have such a medical test we must then demand that those who seek this individuals have such medical tests as well.    If the supporters of their perspective candidate demand that this occurs then it shall occur and as such set a precedent for those in the future who would seek this powerful position.  Therefore whether we believe our candidate is best to serve our country let us have the medical report to prove this is so.

FOOTNOTE- I also believe standards for financial disclosure should be set such as release of taxes information that is pertinent to the office not as a tool for gossip or gotcha moments. 

Leave!

leave

Even as I pushed and pulled you refused to leave. It’s as if you were stuck to my body with glue. Well maybe a bit of that but that is no reason you have to stay you’ve served your purpose now get out of here.  I appreciate all that you’ve done but enough of you freeloading of my body it’s time for you to pull away.  Trust me it will be painful for me but you will be removed even if a few hairs must go as well.  You can leave now or…. wait you’re gone and I sorta miss you already. Oh well there are plenty of other band aids in the box.

Jaden Smith- Death Advantage

Most people will never know how people will truly react when we’ve (G-D willing) go through the Golden Gates but Jaden has had many an opportunity.  He is like the cat with 9 lives but hasn’t fallen once.  Jaden can see who really expresses their love to him when they feel he is departed and decide if he should be expressing more love to them while he is here. Mr. Smith can also see who hasn’t been as wonderful as he expected and turn his attention elsewhere. He also can determine who is getting sick of him dying and who still cares after death no #3,4 etc.   These death hoaxes also help build up his profile to do a live performance.  Jaden probably will want a 8-10 more decades before he final makes this move but at least he has had the time and insight to know how people will react in advance which might help determine that outcome (G-D willing) way later.

911- Saw & Felt

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy - No Comments

911

Standing outside in the Bronx I saw a pillar of smoke that ignited a fire within. I was so angry and wanted to do something so when the local firefighters asked for supplies everything was on the house. I felt this was way to insufficient but as I huddled with the masses of employees and customers from various cultures/backgrounds we became one as the flag was all our symbol. Our grief, hope, anger and strength stood along with our flag still waving in the air.

To think after only 15 years we have become so divided that some of the most privileged in our society playing America’s Game (football) have the audacity not to stand during this day blows my mind. We should not only never have forgotten but make sure our children and grandchildren do the same. Yes our country is far from perfect but on 911 let us remember how much was taken and could have been further taken if not for us becoming one with that flag waving in the air.
