Okay, so it worked


This past October I went to the doctor and got a flu shot, as recommended by my primary care physician. I am now here to say that it worked. I was off work today because I have the flu. Of course compared to everything else that has been happening, I'd say this was minor.

I did have to go over to Evil Big Box Store #2966 to get some items. After I left there I went to take some pictures of this mailbox, that I've seen for years, but not really noticed until I made the acquaintance of Liquid. I took it with her in mind. I just don't have her eye for being able to find beauty in junk. If I did, I'd be taking pictures of the WIXYmobile everyday.

To me this picture says, "Honey throw a load in the washer, and while you're out there, check the mail."

This would violate our Homeowner's Association by-laws. As president, it is my responsibility to enforce the by-laws. This four sure would get a letter of reprimand.

Do you know where I can get one?

Remember your offer for parking your car in front of a certain person's house on my street? I might take you up on that offer sooner than you think.

I am still contemplating putting a toilet on my "devil strip" full of blooming flowers.

Oh, and the WIXYmobile is for hire at the right price.

Maybe you could add a sink and stove(and don't forget the couch and the TV/remote) and just live right there at the mailbox....
Thanks for bringing a smile to my otherwise stressful day!
I knew I could count on you WIXY!

There's got to be a Jeff Foxworthy joke somewhere that goes along with that picture.

I'm looking forward to the chicken!

Wonder if the mailman feels like he's all washed up after dropping off their mail......

The mail carrier may feel like they've been through the wringer.

This is beautiful Cliff .. as I do see the beauty in this photo. There was a time when I was young I would have did anything to have a washing machine like this one, as we washed clothes in iron pots!

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Expand My Territories

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV The verse above is commonly referred to as the Prayer of Jabez. I was impressed to find my copy of the book written by Bruce Wilkinson and read it again. Some recent happenings prompted me to reflect upon how my territories have been expanded. The Lord has been blessing me and I have really not deserved these blessings. The past several years, I have been sharing my poetry with my friends on Facebook. I also share the poems with others by writing them on index cards. These are usually received with smiles and people telling me that I should write a book. For years, I have been under the belief that poets and composers achieve the greatest fame after they start decomposing.  The last year or so, I have shared my poems with some best selling author...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
