Recognize Achievement.

Nice Achievement!

I strive to see both sides in every argument. I listener and am always willing to consider. I could have been a good judge.

However, I recently heard something that is completely ridiculous. It makes no sense. None.

Attention: VIAGRA You Are Not Needed Here

Older Man who has clearly used Viagra

My website is on Viagra. Well, to be more clear, Viagra is on my website.

Yes, that Viagra. The one whose commercials show men of a certain age doing manly things like riding a motorcycle, building a house, or working on a classic car.   A woman will pop onto the scene. They will look into each others eyes, dance a little, smile, take each other’s hand, and then the Viagra information will come up. The viewer is left with the impression that the happy mature couple is going up to enjoy a little… Well you know.
Anyway, Viagra has placed itself on my website without my permission. I didn’t invite them, am not being paid by them, and am not prepared to welcome them.
So, I am not getting any benefits from this intrusion. My site is not being pumped up, displaying extended longevity, or showing particular energy for its age.
Puns definitely intended.
Now, I have no problems with Viagra itself. If a man needs it, well by all means go for it.
Remember the opening scene in This is 40 (yes, I am referring to that movie again). Paul Rudd’s Pete has taken Viagra as part of a birthday present for his wife, Debbie. He feels it will enhance his performance. Once Debbie finds out about it, her reaction is not at all what he was hoping for. She’s annoyed and questions whether he needs Viagra in order to have sex with her. Debbie does not accept Paul’s reasoning: he simply wanted to go turbo.
Anyway, I don’t need Viagra. On my site or anywhere else.
Do you ever wonder how a computer virus happens?
My computer updates every night. I have no idea what exactly is happening when it updates. But I wonder, with all this updating, why the heck is my website being infected? Yeah, I know, I know the computer being updated is not related to the website. But still, with all the virus protection everywhere, why is my site being invaded? I wish it was due to the massive number of people being drawn to it. Sigh.
I don’t know. I just want the Viagra advertisements off my website. Leave me alone Viagra.  Go help those who need a rise.

I Could Be Friends With An Alien

In the summer of 1982, Ms. L. took me and a bunch of the children on my block to the movies. Ms. L. was the mother of one of my best friends, David.

We sat in a packed theater in the middle of the day in our section of Northeast Philadelphia.

At one point during the movie, I noticed many people crying including Ms. L. “Are you kidding me?” I thought to myself.

While I was not moved as much as my friend’s mother, I also loved the movie. I knew when I walked out of the theatre that I had seen a movie that was special.

Tonight, I showed that movie to my children. Guess the movie. Continue reading →

Who Else Wore My Bathing Suit?

My new bathing suit.

My new bathing suit.

I’m not a prude or a germaphobe.

Okay, I wash my hands often. So what. Something wrong with clean hands?

And yes I like the house to be clean. Spotless would be nice. But I have two children whom I have grown to like. I’ve chosen them over cleanliness.

Let me rewind. The plan was to visit my mom and spend the Sabbath with her. We would leave Sunday morning sans BR our 9-year-old, who is staying with my mom for a few days.

Sunday morning came, and we were ready to leave. However, SJ our 6.5-year-old had other plans. He insisted we stay and go into the pool at my mom’s condominium.
