Stuntboy and his grill

Stunt boy had oral surgery today and came through it very well. He was a bit out of it afterwards. I still stand by the idea that surgeons really just like cutting people up for their person amusement on some level.

Stunt boy is with CPG this week so I’m not sure exactly how he faired the rest of the day but he was still asleep around 4:00 p.m.

His teeth have done all the things the orthodontist has pried them to do with wires, expanders and other torture devices. The amount of work on his teeth has a price tag more than my first car.

There is a little bit of crazy. You can still buy a car for what it costs to get braces and there are those in our government who dare to say our health care system isn’t serious out of touch and completely inappropriate.

Then insurance companies saying that things like braces are cosmetic are hoping people don’t look into periodontal problems many caused by not having teeth which are straight and that are easy to clean. Related to that serious enough dental problems can lead to your death with no other health issues. They, the insurance peeps, are hoping that you’ll no longer be their customer when you need those services and then can deny that coverage too and just pay to have them pulled and pay for dentures.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but the system isn’t there to help you it’s there to help itself.

Anyway the point is that Stuntboy is hopefully done with the major things too his teeth. Saying that I want to be clear I have no problems paying for or taking him to the appointments. This is an investment in my son, and in his being able to have a healthy smile and in large part a healthy life.

That’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow

Title and body are required... no it doesn't mean that... geez

Ever need advice and go to a friend who can be an objective bystander. I suppose the important part of asking for advice is to be able to provide as much information as possible. You know to get the best advise.



However if you know information that could be critical to that advice but you can’t give that information because you aren’t even supposed to have that information in the first place. Now from an ethical standpoint you really have no obligation to keep this information a secret because no one has ever asked you to keep it a secret.



So there is this information about things and about stuff that I shouldn’t know. That person doesn’t know I know these things but probably should guess that I know because the person who did know them was awful about not telling things that they knew about stuff. In fact telling things about stuff was a bit of an aphrodisiac (I totally rocked that spelling without looking… I’m not a good speller so it’s exciting for me) for that person but it didn’t work the other way. Odd I know but the point is knowing things and telling them isn’t something I do. I know things about stuff about a lot of people, a lot of the stuff I know is rather innocuous and more I don’t want people to know and other stuff is all WTF they did what? If I know something about you I’m going to keep it secret even if you don’t ask me too or know that I know the stuff. If I know something about myself I’ll keep it to myself except when plied by bourbon, generally a lot of it too. There are things about myself I’m sure I don’t know and if I don’t know them it’s probably better that I don’t know them.



Why keep the secrets at all, well I’m no saint so using the stuff I know as leverage doesn’t usually work too well but as confidant I’m aces and having friends is better than having leverage.



So I really know what I should do here in this situation but there is a part of me that really wants to do the wrong thing. I know surprise. I don’t really think of it as all that wrong either. Yes other people do but I don’t. No it’s not illegal.



So I tell my friend to say, You bad (wag a finger at me and look sternly as if disappointed)



I hung my head in a façade of shame all is good in the world.



NO, Then the friend says but you know if you did it like this it could work. OMG WTF FML w/o KYJ



I came to you because I know you are a solid person you are the rock of mostly ethical behavior. I can count on you to do the right thing because it is the right thing.



Now if you start offering me options, now I’m really likely to just spiral out of control. I really know these are things I shouldn’t do. These are things that I want to do but I need an external conscience especially for the wrong but not criminal stuff. I can justify away all the arguments for why I shouldn’t do them, I’m all good in that department what I need help with is the why I should do the right thing in these moments. A person who will say that will make me think less of you if you do them.



So now I’m on the fence, but I‘m likely to do the right thing… well most likely. However I will say my friend did make very good effort to distract me from the main bad thing to another thing which was equally tempting but not bad at all but then that back fired and this has a bad angle to it now too. You know it could be the name. there is a connection in all of this to names even to other stuff. Hmmm…nope I’m not telling.



So the next distraction, came from another external source and then we were both distracted.



I need to say no to this distraction because in less than a minute I had inklings of a altogether new career for less than 1000 dollars of start up money. Yeah you don’t want to know. I’m not going to go there either because you may end up thinking less of me than you already do up to this point.



In other news, stunt boy has surgery tomorrow for an impacted canine tooth so that’s what I’m doing tomorrow. Stuntboy had some seriously messed up teeth. Now they are mostly not messed up. There was this one little tooth that there was no room for and his orthodontist made ample room for this tooth but it’s being non cooperative with the surfacing into the world. So they are going to coax it into the world of chomping and biting with knives and drugs. I think surgeons just really like to cut on people and this allows them to do it for money and not go to jail.

　

That’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow

my nose is cold

JM Barrie was brilliant the croc is coming, coming, coming unrelenting in its methodical march after it’s prey. We all have a croc, there are days when it feels so close TICK TOCK TICK TOCK it’s maddening.

Then there are others when it is far away not even thought of at all. There will be a time when it’s always there ticking away.

The question is that when that time comes will it be a welcoming metronome or a deafening beckoner.

The croc was close today and has finally submerged but I see the swirls near enough to the surface that it’s not far removed.

In happier news stupid day is a week away …so yay for that

Today was Muthers day… giving money to all the muthers you owe. Their cards are in the mail they should be happy until next muthers day. If you aren’t following M O mother are the ones that love you because share genetic material or a legal bond made by choice.

M U muthers are people who love you when you give them money then it only lasts for about 30 day and they want more love from you which is money then they love you just a bit back which isn’t giving you money.

Most of my muthers tend to be banks and I don’t like those muthers. I even write special messages to these muthers like, greedy corporate scum, or robbing thieves, evil lying nasties, or over prices mediocre service provider, price gouging corporate thieves or some other endearing term to let them know I do care for them as much as they care for me.

If you have suggests let me know I may use them. Two rules, 1. they have to fit in a memo line of a check, 2. No swear words

Feel free to borrow any of my phrase to send on your next batch of muther’s day cards or at they like to call them payment coupons. I thought coupons were supposed to be good for you and save you money. These don’t. death by semantics … YAY!

A funny thing happened on my way to...

Welcome to Rome. Last night at the Coliseum the combatants faced off. The victors left with their coin in pocket and the defeated kept their heads. The mob was sufficiently entertained. Not much longer before the next offerings are laid forth before the gods.

The comparisons to the old republic to this one are not just in our thirst for the gladiatorial offerings in the arenas.

I really don’t care much for the games but I do attend the bigger ones. This may make me a hypocrite. I get pulled into the spectacle but I also don’t like when the sport isn’t played in a manner which is sporting or in sporting manner by all the participants.

The games don’t just sate the mob during it’s performance the next few days will be spend retelling the tale. Now imagine the scuttle in the forum in Rome 2000 years ago following a triumph. How far we’ve come to travel such a short distance.

Who wants to be a millionaire?

The week has ended, well the work week anyway. I don’t generally keep my phone anywhere near me. Then because it is always on Withdraw setting or if you prefer the DTs (vibrate AKA message mode) I don’t hear it ring because it doesn’t. I should probably mention now that my phone isn’t really all that cool. It doesn’t have any apps and it doesn’t take pictures but it does make calls and it gets them too. My phone also doubles as my alarm clock but I don’t answer calls when I’m sleeping.

Anyway, As I don’t keep it (the phone) near me and it doesn’t ring, well it does but I’ve told it not to do that, I miss a lot of things like calls and messages. Today I didn’t miss a phone call from Doodle.

The phone rings (shakes) and I see that it is telling me Doodle is phoning

I think, I like it when Doodle calls me

Invisible Don: Hey

Doodle: Hey Dad

Invisible Don: What’s up

Doodle: I have a question

Invisible Don: Ok

Doodle: No like really this is important

Invisible Don: Ok

Doodle: I’m playing who wants to be a millionaire and I’m on the million dollar question. I’m at work

Invisible Don: So not the real show

Doodle: Nope but this is important You are my phone a friend

Invisible Don: Ok

Doodle: So the question is what is the name of the animated movie with Brad Pitt that is two words and starts with C…

Invisible Don: (I interrupt) Cool World

Doodle: Cool World… I told you my Dad would know it he knows everything

Kid in background: That’s right How did he know that?

Well that was the important part of the phone call we talked for a bit more and then she had to actually work at work I’m guessing. A disclaimer I don’t know everything, nor do I think I know everything although I have been accused of knowing everything. I have also been accused of many other things to include piracy. I kid you not. Different story not for now.

In other news, I am totally confused about one thing and sort of relieved to be honest but confused. My spider is wondering if anything will ever arrive.

Do you really know the person or do you know their persona

To say what I’m really thinking most of the time isn’t something I do very often. There are several reasons for this. Let me state this right up front, I do not actively attempt to lie, deceive or mislead anyone with the things that I’m saying. That would be bad. Right speech and all. However what is right. It all depends on which the side of the fence you are standing or if you are looking at the fence from some other place. It’s all relative.

Now you may say I mislead people all of the time. I challenge that by saying I don’t attempt to get the people I’m speaking with to arrive at a point in their thinking which is false or to believe something I am saying if they are not open to it.

Admittedly, I will redirect to other topics rather than talk about things I don’t want to speak about or will just ignore their question and bring up a new subject. You may feel that this is merely semantics and verbal trickery to justify not answering a question.. I will still contest this not falsehood but will admit that it may indeed be the Off to Buffalo Shuffle or the Avoidance Two Step but in no way is a lie, falsehood or other wise untrue statement. It is better not to answer than to say something which is not true.

There have been times I have been confused in my facts before and will state things that I believe are true which later are proven to be false. Who hasn’t done that, right. I don’t grasp stupidly to what I thought was true in the face of information disproving my information.

Everyone has skeletons in their closet, some closets have a lot more skeletons than others. We know who we know and each relationship depends on the role or roles we are in while we interact with each person. All of us has numerous layers to who we are each layer has a lesser or more complete version of the person we recognize as our true self.
We may not really know our true selves completely. There are probably very few of us who interacts on a level of complete transparency with everyone in our lives.

Is there someone who knows every thought we have and does entertaining a thought really make that part of our personality.

What is normal for you? Some people can ponder the most morbid things and not bat an eye while others have trouble keeping it together for a hangnail.

Over the last while, insert a measurement of time you feel is appropriate, there have been thoughts spinning many of them in contrast with one another. I don’t even write them in the blog. Not because I think they are horrid thoughts but that mort people really don’t think these things. You can decipher how people might take a thought and ultimately how they classify you in their thoughts and actions and what they share with you. They may even stop interacting with you altogether depending on the thought.

Our thoughts do color how we see others but they don’t necessarily define how we will treat them in our interactions. There is a difference and the line is significant. However we don’t always see that our thoughts and actions are disconnected because many times there is a correlation in thought to action.

I could write out every thought I’ve had and tell every action I remember in the completes detail that I can muster. I would simply be telling the whole truth as I know it. How many lives would be ruined because of that truth, what ultimate gain or benefit would come from deconstructing the walls, unlocking all the doors, opening every box, or breathing life into every skeleton. It’s only the truth.

The truth isn’t what we want, we want people to fit in to how we understand them and we don’t want them crossing lines without permission. It makes it hard for us to know how to relate to them. Just like people want you to fit in where you belong.

Sometimes we will tell someone part of a truth to gage their reaction. Then there is the tension while we wait to see how they respond

In the time it takes them to respond a few seconds our whole world changes a bit and we live and die in the seconds in between.

well it’s better left alone… well better is relative

Time, time, time, there never seems to be enough of it. Certainly not enough to do all the things that we want to do and do all the things the we need to do in the world of working class slavery. That may be a rather harsh assessment of things but most of my time isn’t really my own and that isn’t the point of this. This is actually about time. I’ve sort of come up with a good way to solve part of this problem. Well this largely depends on how loosely you are willing to go with the definition of good.

Hoover and I are going to learn nuclear physics. Now I may be out on a limb here but I’m not going to lie my learning this is not going to go quickly and probably won’t be easy and I’m going to need a bit of extra time to learn this stuff. Hoover was unclear on the whole if it would take him longer or as long as me to pick this up with any effectiveness and or skill. As we are not the gang from the big bang we have a few minor, incidental hiccoughs in the plan.

Now you may be asking a lot of questions as to why we want to learn nuclear physics and how we are going to accomplish this and what the heck does this have to do with time. Well there really isn’t a good reason for this so the real reason is probably as good as any.

Do you know the end of the world animated skit that has the kangaroo in Australia going WTF mate in a snow fall of nuclear ash? If not just got to you tube and search for end of the world, it is the one with the really badly drawn French people next to a really worse drawing of the Tour de Eiffel. Ok go, watch, come back… I’ll wait.

Now that we’re on the same page or at least the same level of hey that’s a lot of ash snow. We were wondering how many nuclear explosions would it take to make it snow in Australia. No so much the amount but just get it to snow there. Well in order for us to know this without actually blowing up the world which we decided would be bad for… well, for most of us. That’s when we thought the best way to do this would to just learn about it. The drawback there is a time factor and money but one problem at a time and as this is about time we’ll tackle the time thing. The money thing will be a simple as putting all our money in a bank account with a good rate of return.

To make all this possible in our own life times we will go into space with all the necessary items to learn this nuclear physics stuff then orbit really fast or is it slow? Anyway it’s the whole space time thing that Einstein was talking about. While we are in space time will go slower for us then those of you here on the mud-ball and then we can come back about the same age as when we left but mainly things will be better here or they will be worse but we’ll be smarter. Either way we win, you may win too but that isn’t part of the plan.

Hoover stated that he isn’t willing to go without his wife because he would still be young and then she would be old and that would be bad for them. So she is on the trip too but we aren’t sure if she’s going to study with us or not. I don’t have a current Mrs. Invisible Don so I would take the dynamic duo with me. They can learn if they want. Stuntboy wil most likely be working on something similar to a real life HALO thing but who wouldn’t think that was cool.

See then we have the answer to that nuclear snowfall without a lot of destruction. On the upside the whole Jeston car in a brief case thing might being happening and not to put too fine a point on it my whole CPG thing would be solved too. But this is more about time and not having a lot of it. Not sure that the DD would be ok with that CPG resolution part but I’m not bringing her on the trip. Well frankly, because I’m not doing that to the future.

In the end we get a lot smarter in a minimum of time to answer a really meaningless question and technically get to time travel. Also we’ll be BANK on cash, yeah remember we put all that money in the interest bearing accounts. Yeah we’ll pay off all the money and have lots to spare its like the time travel lottery. So I’m thinking if anyone reading this has any pull with the space travel folks to make this happen give me shout. No seriously. You may also be happy to know this wasn’t even my strangest thought of the day. Yeah I know, me too.


That’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow
