I have to stop being so damned paranoid about growing this blog …..this blog has never grown and is never going to grow —you can preach all the scientific blogging nonsense to me that you want to preach but what works for some does not work for everybody and nothing seems to work for me …..I have 5 wonderfully faithful friends on this blog who never fail to look or to like or to comment and, believe it or not, those 5 precious souls are really all I need and I feel damned lucky to have them ….. I know that if i were somebody else, I wouldn’t spend the time of day to bother with a trashy assed blog like mine— so I am blessed to have my faithful friends who already know who they are so i do not have to mention their names at this time.

I just got informed that I don’t even have any control over the search engine optimization for this blog because in order to get help with seo friendly keywords that would attract the attention of those electronic little assholes that run all over the internet looking for stuff to highlight so that people can find them easily, I would have to upgrade my $95 per year personal blog to a far more expensive “Business” or “Commercial” model and there is no damned way I can ever even think about doing that. So, like most everyone else who does “Hobby” blogging, I am stuck forever in Nowhere-Land on the Internet just hoping that by some million-to-one miracle, somebody else finds me and joins in the daily nonsense.

So i guess Ukraine is not at peace yet — or so I am told —-but I have a plan that can end that war in less than a day…..Here is my plan: Give Russia everything she wants and give Ukraine nothing at all….. well, maybe a promise or two ….and let that be the end of it. I think that is a solid plan that would end the war ….for at least a year or two anyway—but then again, I am not a politician and I really have no business sounding off on international affiars but I am such an egotistic schwid that I can’t keep my mouth shut when I get a tingle in my testicles about one subject or the other.

I hate the taste of Nystatin Oral Solution that I am using on doctor’s orders to treat what the doctor thinks is “Thrush” in my oral cavity — but I am dutifully swishing and swallowing the required 5 milliliters of the shit three times a day for 10 to 14 days anyway. The problem here is that what I have might not be thrush at all but might be some residual oral shit caused as a side effect of the CDIF that I have been battling evern since October 7th, 2025—that would be something benign — but taking the oral solution is harmless according to all the medical experts so I am taking it faithfully. I am in my 5th recovery week since finishing my cdif-specific antibiotic and I am feeling better ….maybe no because I actually am better but maybe because I am tired of agonizing about the shit everyday and have gotten used to it and the affliction has become my new normal …..even though the most horrendous of the symptoms have stopped…. which is a blessing to me. My nightmare now is about a possible recurrence of the disease that 20% of those afflicted suffer from….

Whenever I see odds like that, I always assume that I am automatically going to be among the unfortunate 20% —which does not always happen — but in my paranoid mind, it is always the most probable outcome….you see, even though I am a man of faith, my faith is not yet what i wish it was…..and I get scared of shit that threatens me — call it “Being Human” if you want to …. that is the cop-out that i am using….. “I am just human.”

Believe it or not…..we have an automobile that we drive every day that came off the assembly line in the year 2005 and because the owner, my friend Jim, has fastidiously kept it maintained strictly according to manufacturer specifications, it looks like it just came out of the show room and runs like a top…..Whenever we get our annual vehicle inspection, using the diagnostic computers at the dealership, we just replace whatever needs replacing and go on our merry way. Hopefully things will continue in that fashion ….but i am not taking anything for granted.

Some of you might remember that about a month ago I told you that i purchased a bag of potato chips and have rationed myself to just one chip a day —-guess what…. that bag is still mostly full of chips and none of them have gone stale yet–i wish I knew the secret for embalming potato chips like that ….That brings me to another idea— with all the food additives and chemicals we are getting in our food these days, I believe there is a real possibility that when we die we will not need the services of an embalmer … I think most of us who eat food are already walking around in a kind of embalmed state. Of course I am being facetious.
