Quotes from the World for January 31st

Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love.

George Eliot
George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian) Evans] (1819–1880), British novelist, editor. Middlemarch, bk. 2, ch. 15 (1871).

So yesterday when I was emailing my roommate about dinner. One of our co-workers was there. Jonni was like ‘did that guy work at Pace, wear a nametag, & ride good bike? The memory of Vernon J is strong.

on a sidenote she told me about this coworker who made a red velvet 3 layer cake/cheesecake. That’s the kind baking that’ll get you married. I need to get that recipe.

The potatoes I made yesterday turned out delicious.
image Pretty easy to make. 4ish potatoes, onion, salt & pepper, cheese, flour, & Hiland Dairy milk. Takes about 95 – 100 mins to prepare. Less to eat.

Well the University of Nebraska Omaha basketball teams had a couple rough games yesterday. Visit http://OMavs.com for details. Today the hockey team plays & Vernon J will be there.

Meet at Crescent Moon Alehouse I’d you want to party with the best before the game. Also they have a shuttle that goes to the game. You can save on parking & merry new people. As a bonus you’ll get to hangout with me, & who doesn’t want to do that?

Quotes from the World for January 30th

It would be a thousand pities if women wrote like men, or lived like men, or looked like men, for if two sexes are quite inadequate, considering the vastness and variety of the world, how should we manage with one only? Ought not education to bring out and fortify the differences rather than the similarities? For we have too much likeness as it is, and if an explorer should come back and bring word of other sexes looking through the branches of other trees at other skies, nothing would be of greater service to humanity; and we should have the immense pleasure into the bargain of watching Professor X rush for his measuring-rods to prove himself “superior.”

Drug Testing for Receipts

So the Indiana House has passed a resolution to screen receipts of benefits & possibly test them. House Bill 1483

The following is a quote from a recipient.

“If you ain’t got nothing to hide, why is it going to be such a bother?,” said Paggett. “It’s the same thing like, you know, if you go in for a job interview, if they require a drug test, or a background check, that’s what you gotta do to get the job.” via http://www.wthr.com/story/21337524/indiana-house-okays-drug-testing-of-welfare-recipients

That is the truth & that is where I stand on drug testing for employees and recipient of our tax dollars.

Quotes from the World for January 29th

Actually if a writer needs a dictionary he should not write. He should have read the dictionary at least three times from beginning to end and then have loaned it to someone who needs it. There are only certain words which are valid and similies (bring me my dictionary) are like defective ammunition (the lowest thing I can think of at this time).

Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961), U.S. author. Letter, March 20, 1953, to the critic Bernard Berenson. Selected Letters, ed. Carlos Baker (1981).

Hemingway’s spelling, as shown in his letters, was appalling.

Time for that

Vernon J doesn’t have time for that nonsense.

Good Morning & Happy Wednesday,

So MAF & I was discussing going to the University of Nebraska Omaha Hockey game Friday.

Today is Wednesday 01/29/V3.4 & after being in Omaha since 2004, I paid money on my 1st MUD Bill.

She told me that the weather is suppose to get bad on Friday. Well I told her that #VernonJ ain’t got time for that. I haven’t watched weather reports or diagnosis all week. The weather is going to do what the weather is going to do. Vernon J is going to do what Vernon J is going to do. Vernon J, Jim, Bridget, Jon, & several other thousand people are going to go down to the CenturyLink Center Omaha and see the Mavs in Action.

You can join in on the fun, Visit OMavs.com to see game time(s) and get your tickets.

The word of the day is ugsome which is horrid; loathsome.

Now I had my Douglas County Republican Party Central Committee meeting yesterday. I do have one thing to say about the actions of a certain candidate and his current supporters.

  • Job 1 of any candidate is to tell us why we should vote for you.
  • Job 2 of any candidate is to convince us that we should vote for you.
  • Job 3 isn’t to tear down a fellow Republican.
  • Job 4 is to not encourage your supports to laugh at the current office holders.
  • I wasn’t going to vote for you & I’m not going to vote for you still.

That wasn’t professional at best & disrespectful at worse.

Speaking of the 2014 elections. I moved to District 12 (no I’m not in Hunger games), and I see on facebook last night that Jon (another one) got visited by Merv Reipe. He is running for LD 12 & I was glad to see he is going door to door. That’s what a candidate should do. Merv I’ll be giving you a call today/tomorrow. I wanna know what I can do to get you elected. The Fightin’ Twelfth.

Well have a fantastic day & do what you need to do.

Quotes from the World for January 28th

Poetry, whose material is language, is perhaps the most human and least worldly of the arts, the one in which the end product remains closest to the thought that inspired it…. Of all things of thought, poetry is the closest to thought, and a poem is less a thing than any other work of art …

Hannah Arendt
Hannah Arendt (1906–1975), U.S. philosopher. The Human Condition, ch. 23 (1958).
