There is a purpose for Wiser’s Wednesday night hockey.
Experiment: we drank a 750 ml bottle of Wiser’s Special Blend, Canadian Whiskey, to prove if we could begin to treat the miseries of a cold. There is a purpose for Wiser’s Wednesday night hockey.
The amber liquor was aged to distinction for us to enjoy while watching the “Maple Leafs” play against an American team which will remain nameless at this point because they out scored and out played them on National Television. Ok, its, “Nashville Predators.” Damn fine name.
Which begs the question;” how can guitar players and cowboys play hockey”? I have national pride here and I am not the least prejudiced in any way. Yellow, uniforms?.
We wish to thank those distillers that have labored so hard to produce a fine whiskey that was consumed and the results of whether it cured us or made us not care if we were effected by a flu bug or not!!. We wish to thank the makers of “Canada Dry” soda gingembre, aka ginger ale, for the inclusive, politically correct segment of our readers. (so, are we acceptable?).
Water, which has no known ingredients that are unhelpful for you and the makers of the ginger ale have to list the stuff that it takes to make it. Just because you can’t pronounce the chemicals names, don’t make it a bad thing, as MSG might, for example.
What are trying to cure?. We both have a real nasty cold or flu or something that makes you better for a short time and then kicks your ass for a longer time. Home made soups and other concoctions have been so far ineffectual, so we are down to the basics ………….alcohol.!! I know for a fact that it cures various alignments and cause others.
To-days episode is about the curing part, as I assume you know the other causes this causes. I don’t believe in over the counter cold remedies nor prescriptions either.
Being old school, has no special privileges other than the fact the old guy ,is not listening to anyone when he is sick and to the best of my knowledge I don’t ask for help when I am in a fevered delirium either or so I have been told.!!
I am writing about this research on how it will cure this bug that had besotted us for such a long time and at the same time we are to undergo a hockey game on TV. One thing for sure as the volume of the liquid increases, not so, much, the capacity of intellectual power.
Another property that has been observed in a non medical conclusion, is you grow to be, “ten feet tall and bullet proof” and in the morning the opposite is true. This bares further study.
AS we consumed the untried mixtures in different volumes and temperatures the effects were noted as “I don’t give a shit if they scored again” many times, in increasing volumes as the game continued. How the hell do you shoot at the net, nine times and only score once??. Oh, once is enough to win a game, you say!!. But, they played for 60 minutes. Were they “figure skating”?.
When the game was over, so were we, and if you were expecting any myth busters conclusion, any alcohol if applied correctly in the above proportions does work as intended and a separate crowd of observers must record the results, because “we didn’t give a shit” and the cold continues on its miserable path of settling of scores. Amen
P.S.: it turns out that this cold and cough will last a 100 days,more or less. I like to error on the side of "more". So,we will make the necessary arrangements to bring enough :medicine" to cure this problem for sure.I think I am going to enjoy getting better,its almost cheaper than driving Arizona,but not near as much fun!!. .

The Crunchy Critter !!

| Can you guess what they are saying? |
The Crunchy Critter
As promised earlier I would write about this person, it’s a women and just for the records these types come in all sizes and species. Is, this politically correct, I have been known to offend these people that literally hang on each word and make issue of it…yes,.......... I am ok .
So a crunchy critter once identified no longer has a gender, because that’s is a moot point in my opinion. They will no doubt piss you off and that’s their job to do so and you are powerless in your quest to get service delivered to you in a friendly, timely, fashion from her, or them, anyway.
The only satisfaction you are going to get is, silently to yourself, curse her name and call her every name you can think of, to help you deal with the critter that she is. She can get you all revved up quicker than your wife in an argument. Now, you just gotta admire that don’t you.?
Now, that’s something I like to do, tell her how her charisma has an emotional impact on people. I am going to pause a second and savor that moment in my mind, because it ain’t goanna happen.
This women works at a local company and we as a Family have sent some money here and they have done all the work in our homes. For all I know this behavior is tolerated here and she can get away with it because, she might a lesser owner or a relative or just so dam good at her job, that being “crunchy” is part of the job description, maybe,……….its ,ok here.
I know the true owners have made a great effort to get the business built to a point where word of mouth is what keeps new clients going there and there field service guys are top shelf. So, I can’t imagine that this women is allowed to do this and not get herself fired.
There are three times that I called and asked for service and was insulted to a point where I did phone another provider and did use him. Just to be a jerk myself, I phoned and told the crunchy that I had found someone else and not for her to worry about it. She was thankful and hinted that the next time she could help.
So the question is what empowerment does she have that we all have to change direction into her schedule when we are the ones that are providing them with a meal ticket. The truth is that we are over a barrel and they know it and so a little attitude is given to show us we aren’t the only people out there.
I, am also thinking is it me?. Do I piss people off for no apparent reason, other than I ask a question?. Could be, but that is another story and I really will have to write that one up. I believe that once you have seen this person and heard her speak, you will know exactly what I am referring too!. You, get the impression her poop don’t stink.
Having said all that, in her defense ,she must be very efficient at her duties, in order for the company to prosper and be able to provide a level of service to a large customer base. Judging from the response she gives me, she must be the scheduler of all the work that is predetermined for the whole damn place etc. So, asking for a favor without proper waiting time. “Well ain’t happening”.
And I quote: “we aren’t going to keep a man waiting until you decide when you are hooking up your stove”. Excuse me, I am waiting for you to give me a time when he ain’t busy, remember!!!.
So, we are at her mercy and it is, what it is, so live with it or you have a choice to make!!. Do you have a “crunchy critter” in your life?. Write to me, love to hear about it.
If, by some strange coincidence, your are a “crunchy” and are reading this, don’t take offence, just because I didn’t use your name, does not mean that it didn’t happen!!. This would qualify as a “reality show”. If I have offend any of you in this story, too bad, get over it, I need a stove connected, anybody handy??.

A tribute to the most excellent women.
Welcome back everyone and to-days story is going to be about: a tribute to the most excellent women, lady, sister, wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great grandmother I have had the pleasure to know. Margaret Ellen Edwards. Yes ,she is unique and an original and they don’t make them like that any more. But, lucky thru her children and her grandchildren she is always with us and some of our children even bear her middle name in her memory; that made sure she would be remembered. All her descendents will be the living reminder of her legacy and life. She passed away not long ago.
With out doubt, your Mother (Margaret) will be the most significant individual in our lives. Your lives, were once totally dependent on her for our every need. Many believe that we search for aspects of the mother child relationship during our entire lives. She was your first love and will never be gone from your heart. You will always be in her heart now and in the great beyond. Try telling her not to love you, try telling her to forget you existed. It is impossible. Unless you are a mother yourself, you will never understand the passion of this love. Your mom is such a women, you are blessed as am I and the story goes like this…….she, has and always will put all others ahead of herself.
She, put in a lifetime of devotion and love for her children, that only a mother can give …she willingly gave of herself! Your Mother is seriously ailing, she needs your love and support.(she won’t ask anything of you all that she couldn’t do herself and if she could, would rather do it herself) If, you could, some of you, would take her place and ease her suffering for just a short time.
Her passing away will be a test of everyone’s determination, its your history, perhaps later a lesson will be learned., maybe an unrequited question will linger. And these damn mysteries of life will remain just that, a mystery, unanswered sometimes and some of you needn’t worry it as it is beyond your acuity.
Some of your lessons about life were taught as you sat at her knee and she breathed the little words of comfort and wisdom to you. She dried your tears, wiped your nose ,your little behind’s and kissed you and made it all better and now its your turn. Yes, its her time. She needs her tears to be dried and given a warm embrace and comforting words in her final days. These lessons are now your way of life. Pass it forward.
Later, occasional thoughts of her former presence will enter your mind and for a while you will sense a guilt about not visiting her resting place. This is where you will admit to yourself that you will go the next time and pay your respects. Its up to you, it always has been. In the end tranquility will come to you .
You seek inner soul reconciliations , so we can continue with our lives, so that we can deal with your own life’s conclusions intimately, which we all will face. Your mom has thought about this more readily than she would admit.. There were minor hints in her manner and you will have seen a change in her. There is nothing you can do or say that will dissuade her thoughts now, this is her moment. Like it or not its your time also and now you and Mom are entitled to live this experience out together. It will be difficult to talk to her about these feelings as she will no doubt be unable to do so.
All we can hope is that when the big sleep comes to us, its arrives quietly. Just like a silent canoe that glides thru the still waters of a lake as we paddle, to drink in the beauty that nature offers and quietly reflect our simple thoughts, as the warming breezes waft our face and a little hum begins a new day. Our departure kindly begins a eternal voyage, we become forever young again and leave free and unconfined of the worldly care’s and anguish.
Leonard Alton (her son) wrote a verse called “the canoeist” in this poem he describes very vividly the feelings, the sounds and the surroundings that you can picture and feel the familiarity of being in that canoe. I find comfort in it and reflect as it brings in focus that time passes by quickly (tempus fugit) and before we know it we are thinking about our own mortality often. Is, this what it will be like, a long canoe trip with never-ending days.?
Use your imagination here, we all have preconceived notions of what death is like, as well as the hereafter and we model to make ourselves feel better because we are all worried of this fact and many don’t want to face it. I think this is why many people find a renewal in their faith because of this fact and they want to be prepared to meet their Maker in peace and harmony with themselves and the rest of the World.
This is conspicuous when you see your children, Grandchildren and your aging parents, aunts and uncles that are slowly, gracefully passing thru time and awaiting their turn to meet their entitlements. Its at this time most of us will reflect back when we might have been kids ourselves and think about the antics our parents, and relatives did to make us laugh and enjoyed their lives. Many have passed away now, but their memories linger in our thoughts and hearts.
Life isn’t fair and nobody really cares about your self esteem unless its you. If, you look around life is still rolling along as though nothing has happened. Life continues at a dedicated rate!! A new life is given every 8 seconds and an another life taken every 12 seconds. Mom has shown the courage to continue for as long as it takes and to get as much enjoyment in her remaining time as possible! And to enjoy the fruits of her work hard, her children, grandchildren and great Grandchildren.
Not sure of what you can count on, if you have faith of religion or a position of inner succor, I guess this is where you will find what you seek!., what’s your question? Behold, “the fleeting canoe” awaits you l! Good luck on your journey!
*Act independently and decide your own fate.

Keep The Rubber Side Down
Keep The Rubber Side Down
While reading one of the motorcycle forums I visit. I ran across a post from another rider. She was cut off by a cager and when the vehicles stopped, she confronted the driver. Here's the post. What would you have done?
