Not a Lot Done Today

It sure is hard to shake this respiratory problem. Today, after a kind of restless night, I was worthless.

Knowing that I had no energy for anything productive, I decided to go see The A-Team. Being a great fan of the old TV show, I expected to be disappointed. Believe me, I WAS NOT. It was a great movie! The actors weren’t the same, but they held their own and then some. The story line was intriguing – a lot about how they were cashiered out of the Rangers.

A couple of times, Liam Neeson, who played Hannibal Smith, said one of my favorite lines: “I love it when a plan comes together.”

It was exciting with lots of special effects, car chases, bizarre flying scenes with Murdock at the controls. In the movie, you’ll learn how B.A. Baracus becomes afraid to fly.

In short, if you get a chance, go see the movie. You will not be disappointed.

After stopping at WalMart to buy two more sleeping bags for the camper, I went home with the intention of reading my email then taking a nap. Well, after 4 hours of fooling around with my Outlook, I finally ordered the new Outlook 2010 and installed it. Finally, I got to read my email. By then it was time to eat dinner.

I think I’ll go to bed right after I post this blog. I have a long to-do list for tomorrow.

By the way, I received the following email yesterday about using wasp spray in place of pepper spray: 

I know some of you own GUNS but this is something to think about...--- 

If you don't have a gun, here's a more humane way to wreck someone's evil plans for you. Did you know this? I didn't. I never really thought of it before. I guess I can get rid of the baseball bat. 

Wasp Spray  -  A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were counting the collection. She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead.

The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn't attract attention from people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps one nearby at home for home protection. Thought this was interesting and might be of use.

On the heels of a break in and beating that left an elderly woman in Toledo dead, self defense experts have a tip that could save your life. 

Val Glinka teaches self-defense to students at Sylvania Southview High School . For decades, he's suggested putting a can of wasp and hornet spray near your door or bed. 

Glinka says, "This is better than anything I can teach them." 

Glinka considers it inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than mace or pepper spray. The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so if someone tries to break into your home, Glinka says "spray the culprit in the eyes". It's a tip he's given to students for decades. 
It's also one he wants everyone to hear. If you're looking for protection, Glinka says look to the spray. "That's going to give you a chance to call the police; maybe get out." Maybe even save a life. 
Please share this with all the people who are precious to your life

Did you also know that wasp spray will kill a snake? And a mouse! It will! Good to know, huh? It will also kill a wasp.!!!!

In view of the fact that part of my respiratory problems are because of the two cans of wasp and hornet spray I used after my roof caved in, I guess it’s a miracle I’m alive.

Anyway, I think I’ll keep a can of wasp spray in the truck.

Until next time…
