I just read Shannon's comment on my last post. I feel compelled to make a wee prediction.
When Spod was around I would now and then, during an interesting or serious event, either personal or worldly, I would stop and tell him I was making a Helen Prediction (sorry for using the first person there...I hate it when people refer to themselves in the first person). And I would like to make a Helen Prediction right now about Trump.
I think a lot of his rhetoric and pomposity and outrageous comments were just that...rhetoric, pomposity and shockers. I think that when he gets in there some common sense will take over and he will start to listen to the greater experience surrounding him in the White House. He really is truly inexperienced and will probably be open to advice on protocol to some extent and during this learning will cool his jets somewhat. At worst the Republicans will stranglehold him and at best he just might do some shaking up thats been needed for a long long time. Either way its going to be immensely interesting. And if he tries to do anything really outrageous the people will rise up. One of the things the Americans are pretty good at is going out and voicing their opinions!
Anyway, enough of that. Right now I am about to throw something violently out over the back deck as far as I can chuck it. And that would be my pvr. Yesterday I had Telus in and switched me over to fibre optics...no more shaw. And I know its good for the brain to learn whole new systems but I ain't so happy about that part. But all is going well, except that when I replay stuff I have recorded, it keeps freezing. Every couple of minutes the playback freezes for about 15 seconds then plays again. And every time it does that I want to kill something. Or rather I want to pitch the thing out into the nether nether land.
I phoned telus when I started to type this part of the post and now am on perma hold. sigh. Okay I just talked to the best guy from Telus. I went through the whole process of unplugging and plugging in and it looks like its fixed. Plus awesome guy gave me his name and personal direct line should I have any more trouble. Makes me feel a whole lot better I must say. So no flying machines at my place today.
You know you are getting old when: I got two fat packages in the mail yesterday from Rev Can. Mail from Rev Can is never ever good. So very trepidatiously I opened the first one up and then the second. They are the preparation papers from Old Age Pension and Canada Pension to receive my pension on my up coming year. Sixty Five. I am so happy. I never thought (and neither did my mom, she actually told me) I would get past thirty. So any year past that is a bonus. I have had exactly thirty four bonus years. And that makes me happy!
TTYL
haha!!!Bill Keeler got his packages too! and I agree with your Helen Prediction. .was thinking the same thing. will be very interesting
ReplyDeleteI actually don't think Trump believes much of the BS he spews either. (In some ways that makes him worse.)
ReplyDeleteHopefully his walking back on ObamaCare is a sign he is more socially left than his platform of hate and blame displayed.
Republicans are now are In charge of all 3 branches. And that is ominous at best for a wide range of issues.
But more disturbing is that his campaign has legitimized the Alt-Right & emboldened White Supremacist.
That's what makes me the most sad. Hate was the real winner Tuesday.
On that note I went to a Remembrance Day ceremony yesterday, and in particular gave thanks to those who faught for Canada before we were officially Canada, and kept us from becoming part of that debacle down south!
And then I funneled my feelings into another video. Ill send you the link ;-)
P.S. glad you got all those bonus years!
Sorry I hijacked your blog with my post! That was actually a way edited down version! :-P
