Medicare and snow and so forth!

I would like to thank Clark for making me feel old with his you tube link!  Before it loads it asks  WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL  click on the appropriate answer.

F U  it did not go down that far. LOL  I guess if you are now on Medicare** don't know how to use you tube.

** more on that in a bit

But yea - I saw that one but it was not from the Grammy's.  Good song though anyway from Austin City Limits   

The vid I really like was NIN

So I'm drinking the last of my Mad Dog Vagabond coffee and gotta share.  I ordered a Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer as my last 1/3 of cup was always getting a little cool and I would gulp it down frantically.

Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer for Office/Home Use, MWBLKPDQ-RB

It was $10.99 and DJ as not impressed . . . . until she tried it (I purchased 2).  It's GREAT.   Who knew this would be such an awesome thing.  6000+ reviews with over 70% 4+ stars.

Bang for buck totally worth it.  Hot coffee is so much better then tepid coffee.  Long 6 foot cord.

In other news - NOT bragging (as I typically do) but I donated a couple images for The Club House auction/function for after school  . .stuff  or something.  BAM - $600.  Makes me happy.

******************

SNOW - about 8.5 inches in Columbus, a little more then "I" expected.  Think how much snow we would have on the ground if we didn't have the big melt.

HOWEVER - I believe we are now up to average on the amount of snow.  About 50 inches? now?  Remember back in 2007/8 we had over 100 inches.

That storm that was suppose to hit us Thursday and Friday will organize AFTER get scoots past Wisconsin.  Maybe some drops of rain on Thursday.

Next snow could be Sunday with 1-3 inches and then next Friday with 1-3 but in between sun and colder temps.

Anybody getting personal ad's on Facebook for books?  I got one and actually got the book and finished last night.  It's part of a 9 book saga. #1 was called Defragmenting Daniel :The Organ Scrubber.

YIKES.  It's exactly what it sounds like. Poor people  (Gutters) in an alternate reality are used pretty much as cows for rich people (Bubblers) for organs, rawhide and all sorts of entertainment like gore bars called Amputating Amy.  Which again - is exactly what it sounds like.

But it's not a "gore" book at all.  Daniel is looking for 7 parts of his body that were taken (replaced with mechanical parts) and is killing Bubblers and taking his parts back with the help of a psycho robot and being chased by the Bubbler PD.

The three stars, the Bubbler detective (an awesome woman turned male)  the psycho robot Margaret and Daniel the killer organ stealer are all really fun.

In book one he got his cornea and a knee back.  Now I have to decide if I want to read the rest.  Not sure.

In golf Jack Nickelson  NO  Phil Mickelson won the Pro/Am much to my sadness as his little outfit is SO boring.

When Elweed made the comment about if I ever changed my "outfit" in TGCTours I said no - never thought of it.  WELL - last week I dressed like Rickie Fowler.   and now he calls asking if I dressed my little dolly.

This week it is Phil.  BORING

  But LOOK at the size of my hands!!!  YEA BABY!!

My NBA total system is hitting a tiny bit over 58% with 160 picks but I have questions.

Why is it books have a nickel lines for the NBA but dime lines for all other sports.

For instance - NORMALLY when you place a $10 bet and you win you will win $9.09 (plus your 10 back).  But in the NBA if you place a $10 bet you win $9.52 and FOR ME winning $9.70 with a -103 line is not uncommon.

Does this mean they want more people to bet the NBA?  It's harder so they make winning easier?  Or do they have so many gamblers they don't need a dime line?    hmmmmmmm

Pitchers and Catchers report tomorrow for the Brewers and all other players report Tuesday - SPRING IS NEAR!!

In a study - 95% of problem gamblers play the state lotteries.  Not all people that PLAY the lotteries are problem gamblers but 95% OF the problem gamblers play them.  I don't unless it's over 500 million . . .I mean  anything less then that is just wasting money right?  ya gotta draw the line somewhere.

Shorewood, Wisconsin trustees are considering lowering the fine for marijuana possession to $1. 

 The current fine is $250   I think it's $100 in Columbus isn't it? 

** Medicare - I had to use my Medicare card for the first time yesterday.  SWEET.  I love socialism - it's not a bad word at all.

Instead of paying $20 for my Lovastatin - IT'S FREE now.   WHOO HOO!
