You may have heard that there is a women that antibiotics didn't work on. Now we have to worry about superbugs because antibiotics don't work anymore. I didn't read the article myself, but I was listening to a doctor who had. He said that you had to read down to the second paragraph to learn that it was only one antibiotic that didn't work. The other antibiotics did. My point is, headlines can be and often are miss-leading. Sometimes you have to read down to the twenty-forth paragraph to find the truth. So the next time you read a scary headline, don't panic. Even if something is truly scary, panic don't help and it's a waste of time. Although it might burn calories so go ahead and run a little. That can't hurt.

Some Years Ago
A favorite phase of mine when referring to the past is, "Back in the day." When you say that it makes you sound like a bit of rebel. Like someone who's been in a bar fight or skipped school. It makes you sound cool without having actually done anything. People think, "Wow. I wish I knew you then." Of course, if they knew you then they might think, "What a bore." It seems that it's better to have someone think you are cool than to open your mouth and prove them wrong. At least that is what they said, back in the day.

Where Did It Go?

7, answer, billion, bribe, found, gee-wiz, grease, misplaced, money, quarter, question, wheels, where
Sometime in the past few years, if my memory isn't faulty, we lost 7 billion dollars in cash in Iraq. How can that happen? I lost a quarter once and found it. A ton of cash. Misplaced. No one can answer the question, what happen to our money? I know in some countries if you want to get things done you have to grease the wheels, but if you bribe someone, write it down. Call it maintenance, if you want. At least we will know where the money went. Gee-wiz, how hard can it be?

Nothing Much
I sometimes have nothing to say. This is one of those days. I can't think of anything or rather I can think of stuff, but it has no point or it has a point I can't find. Sometimes it all right not to be on target. Sometimes it all right to let things slide as long as you don't let things slide into the dump. I need a breather and I'm taking it. I hope you enjoy what little I had to say and take a breather for yourself . Good day.

Don't Interrupt Me
You probably said it yourself. I'm sure I have. We have all heard it. Someone interrupts a speaker and says, "I don't mean to interrupt you." Yes you did. You meant to interrupt. You did it on purpose. If you had sneezed, coughed, or screamed than it would be proper to say, "I didn't mean to interrupt," When you stop someone in mid-sentence because you had a thought that might run away if you don't use it right away and say I didn't mean to interrupt,what you really mean is, I don't mean to be rude. Now that I've straightened this out, I'll let you get back to your day. I didn't mean to interrupt.
