Ah, gotcha. You kids and your sayings today, I just can't keep up!

The weather was beautiful, all of my classes got out at least 10 minutes early, my finals week is shaping up to be not as bad as I thought it might be, I'm pretty sure the girl I have a crush on likes me back, I got a really good run in, and I got the yard mowed. All following a great weekend in the Twin Cities area. Just a good old fashioned good day.

Just don't say "Ni" or "it".



Always good to review some Monty Python before attending a family funeral.

I find Ted Knight much more entertaining.

Ted Knight trivia for you: Ted Knight was in Psycho. He had the non-speaking role of the cop who is guarding the door of the room Norman Bates (and his mother) are in at the very end of the movie.

I apologize if I get a little cavish here.

My uncle died Sunday night. He was a farmer for 84 years although not real active at it for the last few. He suffered from polio as a kid but survived and lived with a deformed foot/leg, a severe limp and balance issues for his whole life. About 20 years ago he had a bad fall complete with head injury partly due to the effects of the polio.

I look at his life and what he had to go through for almost 80 years and get pissed at people who think it is their right to withhold from their children the vaccines that we are lucky enough to have today. I get even more pissed at the people who are on some sort of twisted crusade to spread misinformation about those vaccines.

They are burying my last uncle from either side of my family on Thursday.

I am in complete agreement. I have family and friends who have dealt with much the same. My sisters and I were some of the lucky ones who received the early rounds of the polio vaccine, before its use became widespread. Many of my boomer generation were not as lucky.

All my kids have their vacs. Never considered not getting them.

Have wheelchair bound extended family due to polio. We're not that far removed from those days and it's maddening to see what idiots will spread about vaccines.

DND . . . .yet. My impending death is next Sunday 5/5. If I survive, will celebrate with margaritas.

Can you bake us something first?

I'm old enough to remember one of the neighbors in an iron lung. Still remember the sound of the motor and bellows. Not something you forget.

These people have never seen the effects so they don't realize how awful something like Polio can be. I think most people my age knew at least one person affected by Polio at some point in our lives.
When I grew up we didn't have anywhere near as many vaccines as they have today. Thankfully we had the Polio vaccine.

Had an older friend who beat the iron lung. He told me stories and I never want to have to have younger people to go through what he did.

Always felt this guy deserved anything good that came his way. After beating the iron lung and graduating HS. He was drafted into Viet Nam.

I hate the way "Big" has been attached to everything. Even the press who are supposedly neutral in reporting often resort to using loaded terms like Big Oil, Big Pharma and Big Banking. I always thought it was your actions that determined if you were "bad" or "good" not how large your market share had become. I bet that some of those same outlets wouldn't appreciate being regularly derogatorily referenced as "Big Media" even though some of them have become huge.

My dumb FB friends are on a roll this morning.

1. Call #112 if you get stopped by an unmarked police car!
2. Congressman says $174K isn't enough, wants a raise! Ah, quote from a guy who left office two terms ago and said this in 2014. Save your outrage for someone still in office?
3. Plug in air fresheners cause fires!

Haven't seen my reoccurring favorite lately: "If Obamacare is so great than make Congress go on it!" Per provisions in the Affordable Care Act, congressman and their employees that wish to have federal health insurance coverage get it from the ACA exchanges. It was a poison pill amendment offer to embarrass Democrats but they adopted it as part of the bill. Prior to the ACA they were eligible to get their insurance through the Federal Employees Health Benefits program. Of course, the insurance is still cost shared as an employee benefit but the meme is false.
