Toulouse (Please keep the shirt on)


An Olympique Marseille supporter on September 26 took the ceremonial kick-off. He broke the rules and instead took the ball and scored on the Toulouse goalkeeper.

I saw this on TSN Sports Centre. It made me laugh...

Bed Doesn't Go Up & Down

Pinterest: The actual knot this morning was far tighter!

Okay, I am just up. I was out late last night with a Christian social function and I need to attend church this morning.

From this upstairs section of the condominium apartment, I can see that downstairs the Boss has been removed from her hospital bed (placed in her 'beloved' chair) and there is a written note in her place.

I walked downstairs:

Quote:

BED DOESN'T GO UP & DOWN

SEPTEMBER 24, 2017
AM VISIT

I have limited experience with medical equipment and/or a hospital bed. I had a quick look, made some adjustments and then wrote the following reply on the note:

Yes, it does. Someone put control cord in knot!

Seems to me I commented previously in regard to an ontological difference between many care workers and higher trained persons in the medical profession...

The Boss: Throw that new $1450 wheelchair in the garbage!

123RF

Paraphrased conversations:

Me or health worker: Boss, please wear your hearing aid.

The Boss: I hate it! 

or

The Boss: It doesn't work! 

The Boss: Throw it ($5000 hearing aid) in the garbage!

Me or health worker: Boss, you need to sit in your wheelchair.

The Boss: I hate it!

or

The Boss: It is too big!

The Boss: Throw it ($1450, brand new wheelchair I bought for her...) in the garbage!

Nose impaired vision? Thank you, Rhinoplasty?

Nose impairing vision? Debatable. The location of the crime.

Debate Teacher?

Marvel

I just met with a representative of an academic institution; she opined that I would (paraphrased):

'Be a very good debate teacher.'

She based this on my curriculum vitae, she stated.

None of it based on our discussion?

She wants to keep me in mind...

Well, off to drive to some other academic work, soon....

The Jeff: Big USA promotional talk

Jeff and Russ are celebrating 9 years of friendship on Facebook! 

Jeff Jenkins: 9 years? Wow, Dr. Russ Murray, has it really been that long? Plus about 5 years of trading blog comments before that!

Full talk/chat on Facebook
Jeff Jenkins: Here in the US, we have hate groups such as Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and many more. You can enjoy exciting hurricanes in Florida or Texas, or you may prefer our huge wildfires out west. No matter what your preference, you'll have a great time here in the good old US of A.
Mr. James Leasure and adviser (?), in regard to natural gas, world peace, plumbing and putting America first.
My view during this vital discussion for Canadian natural gas, world peace and Canada exporting nuclear manure.

Old Man: Another Facebook deletion/block



Facebook Messenger

What's your occupation?

Perhaps this gem from overseas had recently viewed From Russia With Love (1963).

Deleted and blocked. Yet another person lacking common sense. One has to learn the difference between 'old man' and 'older than you man'. Of course my occupation is listed, if one would bother to read. That is just too much work for a typical overseas scammer. Too many people on his to scam list since me. Well, since I am not an 'old man', and 007 was called 'old man', I do not feel too bad...

If I was a billionaire or trillionaire...

Google+

If I was a billionaire or trillionaire, this is the type of library I would own.

Unfortunately, unless I take my Father's satirical advice from many years ago and as well become an extremely successful hyper-charismatic, hyper-speculative, faith healing, televangelist; I am not going to own this type of library.

A second option would be becoming some kind of religious/philosophical shock talk radio person in a secular context and being extremely popular. The political talk becomes a real bore...

The Art Bell type of alien conspiracy radio program is actually more comedy than theology or philosophy. But, I suppose we could discuss illegal aliens? No thanks.

But the post-mortem judgment (Revelation 20, 2 Corinthians 5) is just too terrifying to even attempt such shenanigans.

I am called Bert: Is there something I am missing?

Sesame Street

The 'newish' Indian, Fraser Health careworker, for my Mother, from downstairs, called me 'Bert' several times, after I had reintroduced myself to her as 'Russ'.

Is there something I am missing here?

Seven hot dogs each=Sodium overdose

Northview Community Church: Barbecue

Northview Community Church: Barbecue
TriCity Church

A very successful opening day for the Northview Community Church and partners (Northview owns the building and property), church plant. My good friend John Wee joined me for opening day and the opening day barbecue. Hot dogs were the food. It was hot and John Wee ate four hot dogs and I ate three hot dogs.

Northview Community Church

I drive us from the Port Coquitlam barbecue to the bigger Abbotsford campus and barbecue, which also served hot dogs as the food. These hot dogs were better, in our opinion, and in the heat and all the walking on this large campus, I had another four hot dogs and John Wee had another three hot dogs. He complained that he did not get the extra one I did!

My diet is fruits, vegetables, fish, spaghetti with spinach, rice and peas. I only have beef and pork on social events outside of my home. And I have never been a large eater.

A funny thing is that John is on some bizarre diet and this was his 'cheat day'.

I have never consumed that many hot dogs in a day, and I do not feel stuffed full, but I am not hungry.

I feel like I have had a sodium overdose and will spend the rest of this evening drinking water. But, the hot dogs were good, as were the chats with the many friends I introduced John to.

Chucky could not believe that John Wee and I had consumed seven hot dogs each, but it was over three meals. This meeting was at Dairy Queen...

Pinterest: But is the Bible taught in context? 



The Chive.com: Reasonable. Non-religious nuts are also unfortunate.
United Methodist Church: Let us bring back the church of the middle ages.
St. Paul United Church of Christ: These cannibalistic churches are a dangerous trend today...

She has 'BM' in her pad, do you want it in the garbage?

Tonight

This evening, I am relaxing in the summer heat. It is especially warm here upstairs.

I am in the condominium for the fourth government health care worker visit for the Boss today.

I buzz the health care worker into the downstairs living area. The workers never walk the stairs into my living area.

I eventually end up in my loft area washroom.

This is the most frequent care worker to this address.

Health care worker (Paraphrased): She has 'BM' in her pad, do you want it in the garbage?

This is standard. I am the garbage man, part-time waiter, part-time cook, part-time cleaner. It is not dumped into the toilet, the pad is soiled!

Me: (Yells) I am in the washroom!

I walk out.

Me: Yes, we do not keep soiled depends (I am thinking ???).

No comment from care worker.

I very much appreciate the government health care support, but even with my one day of first-aid training (for former HSBC corporate security work), I can reason that usually (not in every case) there is an ontological difference between lowest level health care workers and those further up the chain in the medical profession.

Not a complaint, just an observation.

I am not being an elitist snob, but I am making a reasonable observation.

The Boss is a Yahtzee cheat?


The walk today by the Fraser River.

One of my jobs is homecaring for the Boss (Besides my work in academia).

To keep the Boss's elderly mind working, I decided a few weeks ago to roll out the Yahtzee game, which I think is from the 1990's. The dice were starting to take a beating and far more importantly, I remembered the colourful green and red dice from our old 1980's version. Where did this 1980's version go? I would never throw those dice out! I remember specifically purchasing those green and red dice as a teenager. Black and white dice become as boring as a black and white website.

While I had escaped to the United Kingdom for academic research, the 1980's Yahtzee was perhaps sold in the family garage sale along with for certain my expensive ball hockey equipment and a wood chair I had made in secondary school.  I never would have sold any of those items.

I missed the green and red dice. In the spring/summer, especially, I will walk 30 minutes to one hour and buy as many groceries as possible that I can carry with two hands. I began these walks when I lived in Manchester, England.

Today, I was nice enough to bring the Boss some new colourful dice for the Yahtzee and let her roll. As Mom was rolling, as part of my homecaring work, I began to prepare a meal for the Boss. I would return to roll on my turns. I caught her rolling and rolling the dice apparently past three turns as if she was going to keep rolling until she earned a Yahtzee. I informed the Boss that it was three rolls for thirteen turns, but she complained that she only took four rolls.

Yahtzee cheat?
