Shakira and J Lowe - seemed to have a mix reaction / inner dialog / knee / The Stick

I was going to lead off with the results of my new knee doctor visit but then I decided the "inner dialog" discovery where people can have conversations with themselves . . in their brain (I can't) or Jimmy the Stick year 25?? but then  . . . .  the half time show happened.

Truth in advertising . . .I own two Shakira CDs AND listen to them so . . . . . .

Yesterday I was watching the Audience Network as they had a REALLY REALLY good INX concert and then I saw there was a Shakira concert. I had never seen her in a real concert so of course I tuned it.

YIKES - I instantly was looking MORE forward to the halftime show.   Well she did not disappoint me long along with J Lowe.  GREAT music, great dancing and DJ loved it as I did and many others.

HOWEVER one comment on my thread was . . . .

 Are you kidding me...worst show ever...pornographic, strip club venue with thong costumes, pole dancing, pelvic thrusts, writhing on the floor, butt slapping, tasteless trash...all in prime time with children watching! Even children involved in sacrificial costumes...this was an atrocity. Shame on them! Call me a prude, but our morality is in jeopardy. There is so much that could have been done...but wasn't!

Sacrificial costumes?

Admittedly I felt there would be some people that were annoyed and probably the conservatives  Christians that voted for Trump.  America is one of the most sexually repressed countries in the world you know.  We elected a leader that brags about groping MANY woman . . . because he can, but the same people hate a little butt grinding?

and trust me - Shakira was conservative in the halftime show.  Only in America would people have issues with this halftime show.

OH - the impeached President with the largest brain ever congratulated the Kansas City Kansas Chiefs last night.  Of course he did.

a joke

LOOK BEHIND YOU!!

Then that whole dialog thing.   There was an article about people having an "inner dialog".  They have complete conversations with themselves.  They can hear their own voice in their brains.  It SEEMS many people have this.  I do not.

In fact it seems many people with dyslexia do not have this.  A friend said her husband and one of their kids cannot hear their own voice in their brain . . and both have a little dyslexia.  I battle dyslexia and I can hear my voice but only 3 or 4 words before it fades into boredom.

The ONLY time I can hear my voice in my brain is when I type.  I would bet $1000 that Trump has no inner dialog, thus, his tweets.   Thus my writing a blog.  Maybe those words NEED to get out because there is no way for the brain (no matter how small) to process the thoughts as they cannot be internalized.   Just thinking out loud (the only way I know how).  OH - I have ideas and thoughts but they don't form words anywhere.   Curious.

Do you have inner dialog?

Went to Prairie Ridge for my knee appointment Friday morning and WOW - what a difference between UW. I got more information in an hour and a half then all my meetings total at the UW.

The PA looked at my x-ray and said Oh my Gosh that knee is in BAD shape. And I asked WHY am I not in any real pain.  Only minor discomfort and a tiny bit of swelling (but no long long walks).  He looked at what kind of cortisone injection I had and said (unlike all the other non-committal  doctors)  that that type of cortisone wore off within a few weeks . . . . . well?? 

It's probably the prednisone that I am being weened off of 1 mg at a time.

So the plan now is to have a CT scan the end of May for maybe a fall TKR . . UNLESS . . I need it sooner because of pain and so forth.  OH - I'll need a TKR but if I can hold off for the golf summer I'll go for it.  It's all about timing.

All I can say is I was impressed with the amount of information.

OH YEA - "M"   "Darmok and Jalad"    I JUST went to Amazon to see when a book I ordered last night would get here.  Guess what I saw - Darmok and Jalad T-SHIRTS!!!    WHAT???  

And yea - I ordered 2020 Baseball Prospectus . . .it's on back order  WHAT?  Did they only print of 50?  It's a major thing!!!

JIMMY THE STICK YEAR 25.

The original Jimmy has been missing since we finished the basement. I swear he is in the garage  . . somewhere.  But as Gus the Weather Dog commented yesterday on his facebook page (now with 402 followers).  Who ya gonna believe, a rodent?  a stick?  or a talking dog on the internet.  Knock Knock Anyone home?   Talking Dog wins.

He saw his shadow which ACTUALLY has a tiny bit of science behind it.  Clouds mean moisture which is a spring condition.  Sun means dry air which is a winter thing.  THUS - if there are clouds it's a good sign that the air mass is not a winter air mass . . . we had clouds for 11 straight days.  Bad luck for the sun on THIS ONE DAY.

But we should have a slightly cooler spring with above average participation.  SO far - "knock on wood" we have had an easy winter with nothing in the next 2 weeks that have anything different.

In fact the next 2 weeks look REALLY average.  Highs 27-30  an inch snow fall every 4 or 5 days.

Nuff for today
