Easter Traditions
I colored my Easter eggs this morning.
Quotes from Horror Movies
I've seen all of these many times, when there is a movie with more than one release, I gave the original date, the original Hitcher was released in 1986. I would have watched it, but Netflix discontinued their dvds through the mail, something I have had since 2011.
Injuries while carving pumpkins
I spent almost five hours carving pumpkins today, the website for the patterns is zombiepumpkins.com, for five dollars, you get 20 patterns, they have a lot of really good patterns, tomorrow I'm carving Darth Vader and King Kong. Happy Halloween everybody!
Buffet and a Tip
I have to go to my Dad's grave the day before Easter and inter my Mom's ashes above my Dad's grave with my sister and my Dad's two sisters. It sits on a bluff above the city of Dubuque, Iowa. You can see the grave yard and my uncle's flag pole when you cross the Mississippi River going from Wisconsin.
Garage Sale Drama
I was lucky enough to be off work today so I could get a few garage sales in. I asked a woman I bought a joke book about Norwegians if she was, she laughed and said she was Swedish.
Night of the Meek
There are some real heart warming shows and movies about Christmas, this one definitely warms the heart.
Netflix
Just remembering my years of TV watching till 1987 when we got our first VCR, 2004 brought DVD, and then in 2021 I got my first cell phone.
That’s true, but…
This is my take on Christmas.
The War on Christmas
God bless you all my brothers and sisters.
The 4th of July
I used to go to Dubque, but got tired of the crowds and the unsafe conditions of that town, now I go here in Platteville, Wisconsin.
Mom
I miss my Mom and I'm grateful
Parade
I try to go to every Dairy Days Parade and sometimes I get to go to the Belmont parade. My next parade will be in WI Dells next Sunday. I will go the Homecoming Parade here in town for the university on October 15.
Carrie Retold
Stephen King just celebrated his 75th birthday on September 21. I enjoy his first novel of Carrie, which as you know, ends rather badly.
Thinner Retold
I buy a baked strawberry pie every year and watch Steven King's Thinner
The Shining Retold
The Shining has some of the best acting of any movie by Shelley Duvall and Jack Nicholson
Needful Things
I have been watching horror movies for Halloween. I have seven days left to watch them and read my collection of scary books. My favorite from my childhood being The Pumpkin Giant.
7
I love this movie as it deals with thing that many people struggle with, gluttony lust pride covetousness anger envy, and sloth.
Songs For Halloween
There are also songs with a dark nature to them that could be included like Sweet Dreams by Eurthmics or Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson.
Soylent Green
I was watching Soylent Green with Charlton Heston and thought of a commercial for these wafers set in the year 2022, about three years from now. In the movie, New York City has a population of 40 million people. Tokyo has the largest metropolitan population at 32 million, New York City has a metropolitan population of 19 million people.
The Snake Pit
My sister is doing basically what we did to Japan in 1945, getting revenge for neglect of her and her children and grandchildren by taking mom out of her home and away from her grandson and greatgrandson, and her great granddaughter, when she is brave enough to visit.
July 4
I listen to many songs related to the Fourth of July, Voices That Care from the 91 Iraq and Kuwait War, and God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood, American Pie by Don McLean is another good one.
