3Hotdogs
3Hotdogs's JournalMy cousin, Jim died yesterday. I posted stories about him on D.U. Age 73.
The way he lived his life was the closest to Hunter S. Thompson than anyone I know. Drugs, not much into alcohol... and the wild craziness and love of life.
Whether it was camping in forests, road trips and so forth, he was there.
Who else do you know that during a road trip to Maine, on the 4th. of July, would take you on a detour to Marblehead to see the painting, "The Spirit of '76" as it is hanging on the wall in the Marblehead town hall?
And beautiful women were attracted to him. Damn, I was jealous. But he and his wife stayed together for 48 years. She was at his bedside when he passed.
He died of lung disease.... caused by 60 years of daily smoking of marijuana.
But the thing of it is, last week, he said he knew he was dying and his lifestyle was the cause of it. But he said he wouldn't change a bit of it.
Rock on, Jim. And I hope there's a couple of good buds waiting for you.
iPhone 11 ...... Kid set up an alarm that turns off incoming texts and phone calls. Then starts a
musical alarm at 8 a.m. every fuckin' morning.
Now she doesn't remember how she set it up to turn it off.
Step-daughter is a pediatric nurse practitioner, practicing in a red county.
August, mom came in with two elementary school tykes. She asks for mask medical exemptions -- one kid gets headaches from masking and the other has difficulty breathing.
"Well, if 'Suzie' has headaches, we better have a referral to a neurologist to find the cause of the headaches. If J'ohnny' is having difficulty breathing, I am writing a referral to a pulmonologist to make sure there are no serious problems. If the specialists indicate exemptions are warranted, I will write them."
So far, the specialists have not reported back to the pediatric office.
Wha'd'a make of all that?
How do I "do" a date? Years ago, when I was a 'ute, "Wanna go to a movie? club? Whatever?"
I'm goddam 79 years old. I like her and I have the feeling she likes me. I don't drink much. Supper, and then what? Its getting darker earlier so a walk in the park ain't gonna work.
What are some choices for asking her out for a date?
I've got my head tied up in a knot about the stuff I have been puzzling about over the past couple of weeks. Maybe better to just let the whole thing go -- forget about it.
Lynn planted mint in our yard. It has spread out, since.
She died last July of kidney failure.
Today found me sitting in the yard watching birds, trees , one grandkid and passing-by neighbors.
We have workmen doing repair and I got a strong smell of mint as one of the workmen brushed against the mint.
Thanks, Lynn

Ladies -- what makes a good lover? I may have a chance and I don't want to screw it up.
Is it about breaking the furniture during a wild night? I am probably more better off asking about sensitivity. But I am asking you guys and should keep my own preconceptions out of it.
And I wonder if I will get any answers at all but you guys are where I am most likely to get a straight, honest answer.
Hospitals to patients: FUCK YIZ ALL !
This morning's Newark Star-Ledger tells the story of a nurse in Hackensack Meridian Health. Seems she figured out, all by herself,
that the hospital's requirement to get vaccinated was an example of government over-control. Thus, she sought and received an exemption BASED ON RELIGION.
Fast forward, she gets an ICU patient with the same demographics as her --- 30 years of age, 2 kids, unvaccinated. The patient died and our heroine decides, maybe that Jesus fella wasn't right after all. And she gets vaccinated, becoming a front page story as a lesson to other unvaccinated people that maybe vaccination is a good idea.
This takes me to the hospital, Hackensack Meridian Health (HMH). A spokesman for the business tells us that 6% of its staff are unvaccinated. Think about that. They have 33,000 employees and 1,980 of them (now, minus 1) are unvaccinated and interacting with patients and the public. And based on privacy, we can't even know which ones of those are followers of Jesus.
And what about Atlantic Health and St. Barnabas?
Solution: Hospitals should do as United Airlines did with their employees. If you ain't vaccinated, take an unpaid leave until the pandemic is over.
Carry on,
3H
So I go to my cardiologist. I am 79. Small aneurism that is monitored and not getting bigger.
She proposes a stress test with radioactive contrast. I refuse.I don't know if I will accept any invasive treatment Pacemaker or surgery.. I am treated with drugs which keep me going with some quality of life.
So why refuse the test? I figure I have four ways to go.... and "go," we all will. Accident is the least likely but probably the best. Heart attack is also likely and also quickest. I would like to go like Rockefeller - he didn't know if he was coming or going.
Then there's the prospect of years in LA-La land like my mother when she couldn't recall her own name. Or cancer, like Joyce, when she couldn't wait for it to be over.
I am half interested in giving the least support to preventing a heart attack.
My life now isn't bad but there is little joy in it. I haven't had sex in over 10 years, I am old, and fat and broke and there is no chance that any woman is going to find me hot.
I post this kind of stuff here as a way to organize my thoughts, see if there is anything I missed and kind of as a diary.
No, I am not suicidal.
iMac and iPad infected last night. Screen was taken over with notice that a virus infected iMac.
It had poor punctuation and am m1-888 number I needed to call in order to resolve the problem. Re-boots didn't resolve the problem.
iPhone wasn't affected..
Then about 2 hours later, it went away.
Thoughts?
