Today barring any unforeseeable problems, I am going to Calverton National Cemetary to place American Flags on the graves of Veterans. I have been doing this for a number of years now and find it gratifying. This was last year with a Veteran Friend of mine.

This morning about 6:00 I went for my walk. It was pouring rain which I kind of like and find interesting. Of course I didn't see anyone because most people are afraid of the rain for some reason. But it is no problem for Real Men. :biggrin: This is not today because it was raining too...

WE went into Manhattan for my Grand Daughters Tap Dance recital. Shes on the right And center.

My friends wife collects rocks and paints them, so I made her this.

Yesterday I ordered my wife an electric mobility chair. Hopefully it will be easier for her when we visit our Grand Kids in Manhattan or take a trip somewhere.

I went to my shoulder surgeon today. I have a guest pass and my own seat there being I was there so many times. They stamp my hand when I go. He took an X Ray and all the nonsense so they can bill my insurance company. I didn't have a cookie because that would bring up the price. The X Ray...

No. Not really. :mad_new:

This weekend we went to our daughter's house because our 12-year-old Grand Daughter was in a play. This is the view from my Daughters house (I hate Manhattan) Anyway, this is my granddaughter getting her makeup on for the play. She thinks she is one of the Rockettes. Here she is in the...

First off, Happy Mothers day. On my morning beach walk at low tide I came across this double hook set up with fresh sand worms already baited and a 3 ounce sinker. I brought it home and threw it in my tank as my fish haven't seen a fresh salt water sand worm in years so they will have a really...

We have a new Pope but there was a Cardinal named Cardinal Acola, who kept getting passed over for the Pope position so he asked the head Cardinals what they thought the problem was. The Head Cardinal said to him. My Son, how would it look if we had a Pope named after a soft drink? Pope Acola...

Next week I have an appointment with a shoulder surgeon. He replaced my left shoulder but now my right shoulder is jealous so I'm pretty sure I will have to get the right one replaced. I lost count but I think this will be my 38th surgery. If you get to my age and didn't break or tear most of...

It rained last night so on my early morning walk I went armed with a plastic bag and tweezer. I picked up about a dozen earthworms. The tweezer just makes it easier to pick them up on the wet street. I slip one side of the tweezer under the worm and lift. No, I don't skeve worms and have no...

Nice beach walk this morning. It was a dead, moon low tide. But no amphipods. It may be a little early in the season but those dead low tides only happen maybe twice a summer at the time I walk the beach, so I hope the amphipods return soon. They may be a little to cold or worrying about...

Unfortunately, my wife fell again, but this time she was able to get up on her own as she didn't go all the way down. She hit her eye on the vanity and now looks like someone beat her up as it is all black and blue. It never ends. I don't have a lot of time to "play" with my tank but I just...

I think I posted this 10 years ago. But it could have been this morning. :rolleyes: Fish are Smarter than We Are Why do I say that fish are smarter than us? Well, think about it, we as 2 legged beings can go forward, backward, and from side to side. Fish can do that too, but they can also...

Good morning. It is a beautiful morning but I didn't get to go on my morning walk today. About 4:00 this morning, I heard my wife scream, and I found her on the floor. This is happening more and more now as MS doesn't get any better. If I knew she was going to get this disease I would have...

Our Grand Daughter came over for Easter.

Well yesterday wasn't a great day. Our handicapped elevator that I had installed for my wife croaked. As I was trying to repair it I heard my wife scream. She was opening an Amazon box with a big butcher knife and cut her hand right across the knuckle. She needed stitches but I couldn't get...

Next is eyes. We have a pupil that can enlarge or close to allow the proper amount of light in to our retina but a fishes eyes are different. In us this happens almost instantly so if we are in the dark and a light goes on, almost instantly we can see clearly so we can find our phone to go on...

I would like to start a thread about fish and how they differ from Humans. How they are better or worse than us and how their systems function differently. I know when we keep, medicate or just think of fish, we feel they are a lot like us. They are not. Most of us are very different than...
