Bush Joke

I know Bush is a joke but here is a joke about him.

George W. was out jogging one morning along the parkway when he tripped, fell over the bridge railing and landed in the creek below.

Before the Secret Service guys could get to him, three kids, who were fishing, pulled him out of the water. He was so grateful he offered the kids whatever they wanted.

The first kid said, "I want to go to Disneyland."

George said, "No problem. I'll take you there on Air Force One".

The second kid said, "I want a new pair of Nike Air Jordan's."

George said, "I'll get them for you and even have Michael sign them!"

The third kid said, "I want a motorized wheelchair with a built-in TV and stereo headset!!"

Bush is a little perplexed by this and says, "But you don't look like you are handicapped."

The kid says, "I will be after my dad finds out I saved your ass from drowning!"

Milford Ray Holland sent in that joke.

J2SE Runtime 5.0 Update 4

I removed J2SE Runtime Envireonment 5.0 Update 4.  I hope that the computer knows to use Update 2 now.
  If you never see any video from me again or if I never post here again..  You will need to send me a Care package.  In the package should be a new computer and the Linux operating system.  Smile

JAVA 2 Platform

  My computer was working OK until the other day.   I got a notice that an update to JAVA was ready to be installed.  I hit the install button and it installed and then I got a blue screen and it re-booted with out me telling it to re-boot.
 
Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_04-b05)
Copyright 2005 Sun Microsystems, Inc.

  I have now had the computer from time to time ...get the blue screen and do a reboot. 
  What did they say at Woodstock.  Don't drink the water or don't take the blue pills or something like that.. warning about Java.
 

Turd Blossom

  You got to love Bush.  Am I right or not? 
I found a story on CNN that some newspapers had pulled "Doonesbury" comic strip the other day.  The reason is that the strip had in a pet nick name for Karl Rove.  It is a nick name that Bush calls Rove.  What is the nick name?

Calling 911

  They moved the computer, at work, after I left work.  Then they found they did not have a network connection for it.  So when I got to work it had been moved back to the dock.  Now it is in the way.  It is on a cart with wheels.
  It did not have a network connect at first and I got one at last.  Then I could not find some paper I needed.  It had been taken to the front.  Sort of a mess.

  Well for the second day in a roll the girl down stairs had problems with a young man.  She is 16 and he must not be much older than 16.  There was yelling and screaming and crying on day one. 
  Today she was doing more of the yelling and crying.  They went outside and she locked herself in her car and he was on the hood.  Then she was out of the car and he had her around the body and was holding on to her.  I called 911.  We only have a cell phone so I had to call on the cell phone.
  I gave the address but was not sure of the name of the apartments.  Well for 20 minutes the problems took place.  Then she got in the car and he got in to drive the car.  (His bike is here.)  She was crying.  They drove off.  I called back the police to cancel the 911 call.  I gave my address again.  They said officers are on the way.  They want to talk to you.  So I went out to the parking lot and gave them the information.  The female officer said they been looking for 20 minutes and that I gave the wrong address and wrong name of the apartment complex.  I said I was sorry.  I am sure I gave the wrong apartment complex name.  I can not remember it.  I am not sure I gave the wrong address but with my hearing problems it is hard for me to hear on the telephone.

Born again Better Bladder

It is not always good to have a better bladder. My bladder has been doing better for the last few days. Today at work I went for over 3 hours and did not have to go to the bathroom.
I think it was about 4 hours. I went to the bathroom and I found that my pants were not zipped up. I did have underwear on in case you were wondering about that little thing. That does not sound right somehow.

So went into work at 6 am. I worked until 8:45 am then we had all employee at the front of the store for a meeting. Then I went back to work an hour or so later I went to the bath room and found that my pants had been open since I went to work.
Now I did have, thank God, a long shirt on and I guess that is what saved my ass ...errr.. well maybe not my ass but the front part of me.
Now if I did not have such a wonderful bladder I would have been going to the bath room each 30 to 45 minutes and I would have noticed my little problem...err well not little.. never mind.

Work and other things

   I am working with the blog.  I am making changes to it.  I still remember that everyone seems to like light colors and not the dark somber colors that I like.
  I am going to start with the current format and get things on it that I like and then convert it to the TypePad "Advanced" format.  Then I can work with that format.
  I need to know Cascading Style Sheet (.css) format.  Lots of things use it and it would make it much more easy for me to make changes.
  I know what I like when I see it.

  Well news from work... the boss told everyone, at the meeting today,  that the computer ("sign machine") that I us for my job is going to be moved today to the front of the store and will be at the Customer Service desk.  He said that people were hanging out and "chilling" at it.  He said people were leaving Coke cans and trash at the computer.  He also said that it was in the way of the guys working in the dock area.  That has been were the computer is located.
 
 

ShowMeBlog - format

  Judy likes the sky line view at the top of ShowMeBlog.  I do not like the colors of the blog.  I will work on the colors tomorrow when I get home from work.
  I should find a real photo of the sky line down here and use it for a mast head.

  It is 1 am and I have to be up at 5 am.  I better say good night.
 

Great News

  Ken got a call today and a job offer.  He has the job.  They have to do the back ground check and the drug screen but he should have the job.  The job pays more than $2.00 more an hour to start and he gets a bonus each year.
  Also the job will be in Kendall just a few blocks from here. 
  In about a year Ken will have another degree or two and then wants to go to college in Orlando FL.  They have a office in Orlando and he can transfer to that office. 
  This is great news. 

  So right now Ken's plan is to stay here for about one year.  Then he will transfer to Orlando FL and get an apartment close to work and college. 
  I will stay here in this area.  Russell, we hope, will be going to school here.  But Russell at 17 years of age is an adult in some states, like Missouri, and will be an adult in this state in one year.  He can do what he wants to do.  We hope he will get a two year degree here and then work on a four year degree.
  Russell used to talk about college all the time.  He never makes mention of college now.  So not sure what is going on with him.  Not real sure what his plans are at this time.  He talks on the computer to his mom, in Texas, all the time and I know she wants him to move back to Texas.

 

Left Turn for Labor?

  I posted on Howard's Notebook a article called "Left Turn for Labor."  Right now the unions are not doing well in the United States.  They have not been doing well for a long time. 
  When the PATCO union, in 1981,  fell into the trap of President Reagan and gave him a great victory it was just about the end of the union movement in this nation.  Reagan and the GOP sent out the signal that history had turned and that union bashing and anti-union actions were not only welcome but that the GOP would help and the government would turn a blind eye to big business. 
  Company after company followed and nails were pounded into the coffin of the labor movement.

   The coffin has not been lowered into the ground yet but they are close to getting it done.

   My father was a union member all his life.  Later he was an elected union offical.  My mother was a union member.  I was a union member for years.
  When the PATCO event took place it was one of the worst days of my life.  I was glad that my father was not alive to see it happen.  The other events were the death of John, Martin and Robert.  The end of my marrage was such an event.
