Hullabaloo

This “It’s Saturday” is probably not a real nail bitter or even a thumb-sucking thing and surely not a dog-fight. It might be more like a “Hail Mary!” It might sound pretty scratchy to some of you.  But remember folks, you get what you pay for! Soooo don’t get lathered up if you don’t agree with any of this stuff. It’s really not that important. Such is life.

ItchieBitchie says--If you are suddenly in danger, adrenaline courses through your body to increase your metabolism and prepare your muscles to exert themselves. Or in moments of pleasure, the hormone oxytocin and the neurotransmitter dopamine are released. In other words, the entire human body springs into action in various situations and circumstances. I overheard a conversation at breakfast the other day. One guy can’t hear very well soooo he was very loud.  He said—My granddaughter is a good kid but a little ornery, moody, and very liberal.  But she is a good granddaughter.  And then again it just might be a bunch of hullabaloo.

Donnie Donnie Donnie! Does he really want to be President or is he just having a good time? One thing is for certain, Donald is a good "foot shooter!" CrazyMarvin says--Tooooo many shots to the foot could kill a guy.  He makes me laugh! You have to admit, he's a good shot alright!

Don't ya just love this POLITICALapaloosa! RickyTheGoatHerder says--Absolutely boys and girls! No question about it, this political stuff is a bunch of hullabaloo!

TurboGary says--What a difference a few years makes! Obviously she has really improved.  It is always nice to see folks get better.

MissPerfect’s decisions aren’t always based on hard facts. The analyticals surely do prove that. Politicians (i.e. both Democrats and Republicans) just make me laugh. We are such suckers. DuaneTheWorm (i.e. who worships himself and is full of hubris) will say and do most anything to make himself appear to be king of the hill of the picking order.  The truth is he is just blowing smoke. Most folks see right through him. But there are always a few suckers. But as Abraham Lincoln said--You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

WorldClassLarry says--When folks start thinking they are important, usually a correction is in order and it usually does happen! Ouchy ouchy! It's just reality folks. I have read the book Descending into Greatness by Bill Hybels (i.e. a friend gave it back to me—I really don’t remember reading it but I read it or re-read it—very invigorating to me—it affected me—maybe it might not be to you—but give it a read). One chapter is about the pecking order. He said you can put 10 chickens in a pen together and within a short time the pecking order will be established. This procedure is done in business, social circles, church, sports etc. AverageJoe says—erv, it ain’t nutten new! BobbySnort says--That is just the opposite of Jesus’ teaching.  ANYWAY Arlene and I went to an I-Cub game the other night. There were some important folks behind us working on their pecking order (i.e. food chain). They sounded very important and influential (i.e. and probably are but didn’t impress me much)—sounded like a lot of hullabaloo to me—LuckieEddie says, I actually can be very comfortable being the #10 chicken—just being “simply me). What took the cake was when one was telling how he and his wife went to a lecture of the early history of Des Moines. One of folks asked him if it was good—It was good but the guy talked tooooo much about himself! Da! SusieQ say—Usually a little bit about oneself goes a long way!

Sooooo this little paragraph might go a long way folks!  Jimmer says—Grandpa, your ice cream is the best! It's much like politics, you give them what they want and they like you!  How can ya go wrong with that? You can’t. Rookie says--Grandpa, that was good! Now this might be a lot of hullabaloo about really nutten folks. But it was sure fun! Such is life.

I was sitting in our sun porch on morning after a nice rain shower. Maybe 6 robins were have a worm-fest (i.e. worm eating was good and easy). I never knew this but my golf buddies told me that birds listen for worms. What?  These guys (i.e. I'm not taking about the worms folks) are smart let me tell you.  I also re-learned this week while eating my oatmeal with half a banana on it—One verse of my favorite Bible scripture is, Those who wait on the LORD...shall walk and not be faint. The word walk in the Bible is used to describe a person’s character. Saturday question—What is your walk? ANYWAY here is the rest of the story:  Those worms were being eaten by the robins (i.e. part of the food chain). All of a sudden, I think it was a hawk, dove down from the house roof and grabbed a robin and was off (i.e. it was in a flash folks). The other robins tried to attach the hawk in the air but the hawk had captured his breakfast.  It happened soooo fast and soooo unexpected. Another chain in the food pecking order. Bingo.

Here is a quandary folks. The world version of the food chain is--Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you'd better be running. The quandary is---is this the right way to live a person's life? And Jesus' version is...!

And pop goes the weasel! I think Bernie is butt wielding! This pretty company gal is teaching those two guys how to "wield butts" as she called it. The real name is butt fusion.  Bernie already knows how to butt wield; he could have shown them a thing or two! They are connecting the 10" water pipes soooo they can pull it under the ground for our new water line to our new water tower. Very interesting to me. 

I goggled the net worth of the Clintons and Donald.  Goggle says Clintons’ net worth is $111 million and Donald’s is $4.5 billion.  How did they make all that money anyway? Donald calls Hillary crocked Hillary and Hillary calls Donald a faker who uses people. I always say that the two easiest ways to make money is to marry it or inherit it. Maybe there is a third way—under the table good old boy method.  Some of you suckers might say—erv, you are way out in left field or over the top a little and are over cooking the situation or it’s just maybe might be a bunch of hullabaloo. That could be folks; Chester and Anna programed me some probably growing up a mile and fourth south of Roseland, MN.  Maybe they influenced my current thinking a little even though I don’t know it.  Have your parents programmed you at all?  Maybe you don’t even realize it.  Chester and Anna were Democrats and I’m a registered Republican but more of an independent but I lean to the conservative side (e.g. I'm for helping some folks but don't like liberal abortion).  It appears that many of the younger generation are much more liberal than being conservative (i.e. Bernie’s fans) even though their parents might be more conservative. Why is that do you think.  And maybe it’s my imagination.  Now that could be tooooo. A company man said to me maybe 40 years ago—When you are young and not liberal, you have no heart. When you get older and aren’t conservative, you have no brain. But that could be a lot of hullabaloo tooooo! Such is life.

But it sells tickets folks. It's all about the money folks. Don't kid yourself! There is a lot of hullabaloo in the Des Moines Register about IA football.  Usually the hype is better than the team.  CrazyMarvin says—We have been there in the past. Ya but the hullabaloo also sells papers and tickets. The proof is in the pudding folks and not in the Des Moines paper. Talk is cheap but it takes money to buy whiskey!  Such is life.

CadillacJack says—Hold you horses erv, I think what you wrote is just a bunch of hullabaloo; you are just fanatical! You need to go and jump in the lake!  You know CadillacJack, that might feel pretty good as it’s pretty hot out today.  Thanks for the advice. It’s as good as what I paid for it! Such is life.

Have a FUN day my friends unless you have other plans. (-:
