Time for Some Randomness

When is someone going to take an AK-47 to Mayhem?  Would that take care of him?

I like the girl on the Progressive Insurance commercials.  I don’t like Progressive insurance.

Why are Southerners such wimps about snow? We have people in our neighborhood who didn't shovel their sidewalks or driveways after six days.

Line from Meet me in St. Louis, by Marjorie Main (I love her):  “She’s having trouble with her husband, him being a man and all.”

People went to movies in the '20-50s to see beautiful people wearing beautiful clothes in beautiful settings doing not always so beautiful things. 

Hulu has some great stuff to watch.   I watched The Razor’s Edge last night.

Anybody who says gender behavior is not biological is crazy.  No one has to tell a little boy to act like a little boy.  My sweet compliant son still loved guns and to stand in front of Star Wars movies with his fake light saber; he even told me half-eaten sandwich was a gun once. 

I am tired of Facebook telling me to be “friends” with someone I really don’t like!!!

If the buck is going to be passed, it might as well be passed to someone who has plenty of them. (from The Whales of August).

And this line of dialogue from Hot in Cleveland says it all.
Valerie Bertinelli:  "I am still mad at my boyfriend, so I'm punishing him.  I'm not talking to him."
Betty White:  "If you want to punish a man, you talk more."

Kallman's Syndrome: The Secret Best Kept

-
I went to my cardiologist yesterday.   Every year I have to wear a Holter monitor for a day because of a heart ablation I had in 2007.   If you don’t know what a Holter monitor is, it’s a 24-hour mobile, wires-hanging-off-your-body EKG.   The nurse practitioner saw me, (not the doctor, which is ok because his voice puts me to sleep).   She was very sweet.   She asked me if I was still taking Estradiol and Progesterin.   “No,” I said. “I’ve totally gone off those.   I was on them for a very long time and I wanted to be sure to stop.” What I didn’t tell her is how long I actually had taken those hormones.   37 years.   I started with HRT when I was 17 because I have Kallman’s Syndrome.   You may never meet a person who has this condition.   It only affects 1 in 10,000 people (or 1 in 86,000, according to one source) so that’s quite a range and far more males have it than females (as do most negative things).   So, being female, I am quite an oddit

Annie Dillard on Writing Advice and Some Observations

-
  https://getpocket.com/explore/item/write-as-if-you-were-dying-read-annie-dillard-s-greatest-writing-advice?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us I frequently listen to a podcast called THE HABIT. Its host is Jonathan Rogers, who for the most part interviews writers with a Christian focus. He is a better interviewer than I, and he runs a community of writers. I recommend him. I do have to say that the podcast makes me feel very shallow as a writer.  One reason is that Jonathan Rogers has a signature question, Who are the writers that make you want to write? If I ever land on his program (a dream), I will need an answer to that one, and right now I don't have one. Sure, there are writers I like, lots of them, but reading them doesn't send me to my computer to get cracking. They are more likely to make me think, you've got no business doing this writing gig.  Actually, bad or mediocre writers motivate me more although I am not exactly proud of that. And the fact that what I want to
