Badges of Honor

Written for women but fitting for men.

Well today I will be talking to women. If you are a man still feel free to read this blog because you have to hold your woman accountable for the information that I am presenting to her.

Let's face it women, men act like dogs sometimes. When you own a dog and throw the dog a ball to fetch they fetch the ball and bring it back to you and then expect you to say or do something to acknowledge the fact that they did what they were supposed to in the first place. Sometimes men are no different than dogs. Ladies this is why I have invented a new word and reward system to help build the man/woman relationship. Thank me later.

The new word is mandages. A mandage is a hybrid word, it is a cross between the word man and the word badge. These man badges i.e. mandages are to treated with honor and respect. The mandages are not to be given to a man without earning them for the simple fact we will not appreciate them. Women if you want the full effect of a mandage (the shock and awe) to take place as soon as your man has earned a mandage make a party for him and invite his friends and then place the mandage on the front door of the refrigerator. By placing the mandage on front of the refer door your man will see his reward every time that he goes for a cold one, scientist call this positive re-enforcement. He will also brag to his buddies.

To help you good women get started I have provided a few examples of mandages.

Errand Mandage

Earned for picking up shopping items on his way home from work because you forgot an item. He would get a double mandage if he has to pick up woman products.

Love Mandage

This is earned when your man points out to you that he chose you from all of the other fish in the sea. "Remember I married you but I could have married her." Warning to all men reading this: Make sure you don't smile when you point at that girl that is definitely out of your league. A small smirk will do, pig.

Manners Mandage

Earned when your man either compliments your appearance or corrects it. "You can't wear that to the game, where is the face paint I bought you?" 

Atta Boy Mandage

Earned for cleaning up after himself and or taking the trash out without being told (nagged). If your man even bothers to wash out the trash can once in a while that would earn him a double mandage.

Maturity Mandage

One way to earn this mandage is by your bo admitting that you are more important than golf and he won't buy any new golf equipment until you get a new dress.

Birthday Mandage

If he brings you a birthday gift and says happy birthday give him that mandage. Heck if your man even knows your birth date he should get  a mandage.

Sympathy Mandage

Do you remember when you were sick that one time and he said, "Are you going to be okay honey, by the way do you know where I put my work shoes?"  

I hope this will help build a strong bond between a man and his woman. Just doing my part to keep America strong.

Tires- The Safe Driving Tip O' the Day

What to do if gas pedal gets stuck.

I saw a news report that showed a woman in a SUV that was traveling at speeds in access of 100 m.p.h. because her gas pedal got stock fully engaged to the floor. My first though on this subject was d-an-an-gerousss! I then thought a little deeper about this subject.

If my gas pedal or cruise control got stuck and propelled me down the highway at top speed (Which by the way wouldn't be too terribly fast since I drive a Government Motors vehicle, a Chevy Cavalier), would I know what to do? NO! The more I thought about it, as old as my car is I figured several things would happen, first the paint would peel off the car, the wind shield would disintegrate, and the tires would explode, so for the most part I should walk away from the incident in good shape but I would have to put Old Green down.

"Hold it right there, Old Green!"

Below is a website from a tire store in New York that knows what to do. I copied (borrowed, please don't sue) from their website some tips to help you if you ever find yourself in this predicament

Home » Tech Section » What to do if gas pedal gets stuck.

What to do if your gas pedal sticks

• Tap the gas pedal to try to unstick the throttle linkage.
  
• Hook your toe under the pedal to try and free it.
  
• Shift to neutral and apply firm pressure to the brakes without locking the wheels.
  
• Find a safe place to move the vehicle completely off the road. ( I am not sure I agree with this one)
  
• If your automobile has power steering or a locking steering wheel, do not turn off the ignition or you will lose either your power steering, or the ability to steer.
  
• Have your vehicle checked with a mechanic as soon as possible.

Website: Not here, it is belower. (Just thought I would take a pause and refresh myself)

Now if you are in the state of New York and you find a need for tires or you just like to smell new tires (and I know some of you people are tire sniffers) go to these guys because they are the tire guys with a heart, 

they have to have a heart otherwise they wouldn't have bothered to put those wonderful tips on their website. Tell them Leon sent you and that you want the Leon special. Of course they won't know what the heck you are talking about but the looks on their faces would be priceless.

You Get What You Pay For and Sometimes What You Don't Pay For

The old adage, "You get what you pay for" couldn't be truer. This is the story of what happens when an amateur performs the task of a professional. This like life and politics presents an undeniable truth. The truth is those that aren't qualified will eventually fail. (Peter Principle)

Elderly parisioner's touch-up to 19th century church fresco turns Jesus into cartoon

By ANDY SOLTIS

An elderly parishioner’s attempt to touch up this cherished but deteriorating Spanish church fresco has turned Jesus into a cartoon figure.

The unidentified woman, in her 80s, was upset at the damage that moisture was wreaking on the 19th century fresco in the Sanctuary of Mercy Church near Zaragoza.

Without authorization, the devoted woman scraped away some of the paint, leaving white marks on the wall.
Then she took out a paintbrush and replaced the strokes of artist Elias Garcia Martinez with her own, Spanish media reported.

When she realized how badly it had turned out, she contacted the city’s culture councilor, Juan Maria Ojeda.

The Great Mess

I do like the Jesus fro though in the Great Mess. It's hip and fresh.

“I think she had good intentions,” Ojeda was quoted as saying. (So does Obama, but...)

As it turns out, the woman’s efforts weren’t even necessary. An organization that restores Spanish artwork, El Centro de Estudios Borjanos, had just received a donation from Martinez’s granddaughter to repair the damage done by the moisture.

Ojeda said art experts are trying to determine whether the woman’s work can be undone.
“If we can’t fix it, we will probably cover the wall with a photo of the painting,” he said. (Sad, a true treasure destroyed by the desire of an unqualified artist wanna be. The same thing is happening to America today and if the sitting President is re-elected in November there won't be enough paint to cover the permanent damage done to greatest nation on earth.)

Obama

"Yes I can! I can make the sound of a choo-choo train and that is why I should get a second term."

Big bad cleric dude from the evil empire in the Middle East

"Oh stop it, you are too much. A martyr's death to you all. No, I really mean it."

Biden being Biden

"Hurry somebody put a drink in the hand before I say something stupid. Ah too late."

Obama of the Corn

"Yes, this corn field can be compared to my administration the last four years, all burned up. Hey wait, who put that in the prompter? Has anyone ever heard of shovel ready?"

Everyone?

Obama: Everyone wants to be us

(An American fairytale)

By DONOVAN SLACK |

8/8/12 7:08 PM EDT

DENVER -- The president took American exceptionalism to a whole new level Wednesday by suggesting that not only is the United States the greatest nation on earth, but every other country wants to be us. (We will see in November if America shares his vision. I don't want to be like him. I want a free and independent America with limited governmental intrusion into my personal life. I don't want a government that believes in wealth redistribution, that is not their responsibility. They should be providing a setting that increases it's citizen's wealth not destroys it.)

"...[W]e’ve still got the best workers in the world. We’ve got the best entrepreneurs in the world. (We won't if we keep going down the socialist path, don't fool your self America. Freedom to choose allows us to be great, using your own assets the way you choose makes us great, not big government with more and more regulations and taxes. Don't believe me ask the fellows that make incandescent light bulbs or the folks who mine coal.) We’ve got the best scientists and researchers in the world, the best colleges, and the best universities in the world," he said at a campaign rally in Colorado. "We’re still a young nation, and we’ve got the greatest diversity of talent and ingenuity, and people want to come here from every corner of the globe. (Until we become like Europe where more and more people don't want to live because they keep taking more and more of their personal property away to build utopias, look at Greece, France, and Great (or the Not So Great) Britain, they are a mess at best and this bonehead admires their style of government.)

(Also on POLITICO: Obama makes a play for women in Colorado)
"So no matter what the naysayers tell us, no matter how dark the other side tries to make things look (They look dark because you have failed. Your policies are a disaster, your philosophy has been proven to fail every where it has been implemented in the world but you continue to march us toward complete and utter failure Mr. President) the fact is there is not another country on earth that would not gladly trade places with the United States of America.” (How about Australia, Switzerland, or China who owns a great deal of our debt and Japan who owns another large chunk? Do you think they really want to change places, I think not!)

A curious bit of hyperbole (Bull slinging) when one considers that Muslim countries have a decidedly negative view of America. In a recent Pew survey, disapproval of the United States was above 70 percent in Egypt, Turkey and Pakistan and hit 86 percent in Jordan. (When is this community organizer going to wake up and realize that he failed and should do the honorable thing and resign. Mr. President go back to Chicago and organize it. We in Michigan would love you organizing Chicago like you did Washington since Detroit could use all the help it can get in a competitive world.)

Free and Independent America, limited government, and opportunity for all who desire it, now play ball!

Capitalism at Work (Azenic)

Here is a novel idea and product that could use some help getting noticed. Dentist dudes pay attention because I am talking to you. Why do so many of you resist change?  I am glad some of you do adapt to change other wise the dental experience might be much like the pictures below.

Ancient dental drill"Say ugh!"

Thank God anesthesia has changed

Medical professionals (You know the guys that play golf on Tuesdays and Thursdays, drive sports cars and tell you not to smoke and that you need to lose weight, yes you guessed it doctors) have been using disposable surgery products for years but you fellows in the field of dentistry still use metallic hand pieces (i.e. dental drills for us not in the profession) that are cleaned and used again and again, patient after patient. After I learned about this disposable hand piece (i.e. dental drill) product and that it is used once on me and no one else I got a warm and fuzzy feeling about this new dental innovation. Thank you innovative people at Azenic.

P.S. just in case you are wondering about the pink guy above, stop wondering. He is a warm and fuzzy feeling.
