Questions That Can Not Be Asked I haven't posted in a while, and it seems like forever since I put up something rude and offensive that irritated lots of folks. This is unfortunate, as after all I do have a reputation to uphold. So it's time to get off my fat butt and rectify this situation. Unfortunately I don't believe I can just be offensive without some "snowflake" complaining to the powers that be here on Noise.cash and trying to get me banned, so I decided that I would…
Answers, Part 1 Recently I added a post which consisted of several thought provoking, (or gag inducing, depending on your viewpoint), questions. While it would be incredibly self-indulgent and self-infatuated of me to then create a post answering my own questions, that is what I am going to do now. The internet and social media sites have given old windbags such as myself an almost unlimited soapbox to shout our nonsense all across the world. Ain't Noise.cash wonderful! As…
The Frog Effect If you look at the pics, he's probably more of a toad, but at any rate he seems to love to climb into our pots and tear up our plants. The pot in the pics had some seeds, (mangosteen, I think), I had planted. I've been able to get mangosteen, marang, jackfruit, and seeds of other fruits to sprout fairly easily, although raising the young plants has proven difficult, as I struggle to find the right combination of sun and shade for them to grow, yet not get…
The Wonderful Martin A. Couney TLDR: Martin A. Couney was a wonderful man who in the early twentieth century defied the existing medical establishment and managed to save the lives of many premature babies, one of whom was his daughter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Njql0oySdJs God works in wondrous ways! Would you believe that, back in the early 1900's, a man managed to save the lives of many prematurely born kids, by setting up a carnival sideshow? Martin A. Couney was…
The Fish That Killed Magellan While it is widely known that Lapulapu was the guy who finally put a stop to Magellan's voyage of discovery, (or conquest, depending on your point of view), did you know that a very yummy fish is also named after him? The Lapu-lapu is actually a grouper, which must be why it tastes so darn good. Apparently it is a big deal on Palawan, where they harvest lots of these fish for export to places around the world.…
Stupid Body Tricks, Part Two Getting old is a weird experience. You experience first hand what it is like to be slowly deteriorating, as your body starts to decay and malfunction. We're trapped in these "meat suits", and as they wear out we can feel our remaining time on this planet slipping away. I've written about stupid body tricks before, ( https://noise.cash/post/17nwgx8p ), and I guess I could write a repeating post about the stupid body trick of the day, but that…
The House Is Almost Complete! About a month ago I wrote a post about building a house for my wife's cousin. ( https://noise.cash/post/185p282n ) That house is now almost complete. All that needs to be done, I believe, is put in the windows. (That will happen once we get some more money.) Actually the house has been complete for more than a week now. I've just been too lazy to post this update. The first pic is of the front of the house. (The lady in the reddish shirt sitting…
FRUSTRATION!! I'm sure I don't need to remind anyone of how difficult it is to save money, yet how friggin' easy it is to spend it. :-( For many months now, (you could almost say years), I have been squirreling away a sizable chunk of cash, just waiting for the overheated US stock market bubble to burst. Thanks to Putin's blood lust, it appears a tipping point may have been reached, and the much anticipated market "correction" (collapse?) is beginning to happen. Now should…
A Short Post Some folks say my posts are too long. This one isn’t. 😜
The Mess May Not Be All Putin's Fault User @marsou has posted a plaintive post, ( https://noise.cash/post/1k400zn3 ), about the current disaster in the Ukraine. Please pray to however you conceive of your "Higher Power" that this conflict be resolved quickly, with as little loss of life, limb, and property as possible. However, there is one idea I keep seeing in posts here on Noise.cash, and on other places online, that I believe may be mistaken. This is the idea that the…
Answers, Part 2 The time has finally arrived, unfortunately, to continue answering my own "interesting" questions. You may have had the misfortune to read "Answers, Part 1" ( https://noise.cash/post/15r727p8 ), which if I had any shame I would apologize for posting, but shame seems a foreign trait to me, so I won't. Just like in "Part 1", I will reprint the questions before answering them. And as a reminder, you can always view the original post here:…
