6PM TO 9PM: The Oldcatman gets off a big ROAR!

I guess post management is fucked---click on below!

GEORGE POLUTES!

8 PM: THE EVE AFTER CHRISTMAS............

...........still opening presents........

...........still eating.......................







NEWS!
My composting toilet over runnth over with lots of stuff that's going
on in this world of ours (that's us, kemo sabe!).....some good, some bad and some ugly.

By tomorrow the good old Xma$ cheer will be gone.

Dead trees will be laying in the gutter.

Xma$ wrapping will be bulging out of garbage cans.

Credit card companies will be drooling, adding up their 'take'.

Store's return department's people will be listening to stories
of unwanted gifts.

They'll still be digging for survivors in Iran.

Will the REAL
human tragedy in Iran get as much attention as the "human tragedy" in Iraq is getting?

George is still eating beef; fearless of mad cow desease......but when you already have holes in your brain, why not eat beef---and then of course,
Texans don't know how to eat anything else.

George got nailed by the courts for his anti environmental position (position= head up ass!).

Jacko pleads innocent to rubbing.

4 of our guys were killed in Iraq today ( and capturing Saddam did what?)

I will probably declare war on Apple Computer.

Going to buy an HP scanner to share old oldcatman photos (ie: a very
young "JC" Kitty, as well as oldcatman before he was oldcatman, etc.).

I will be waiting for my 2004 Pamela Anderson calendar.

I will be waiting for my 2004 Pamela Anderson calendar.

I will be waiting for my 2004..............



Good night.

CHRISTMAS...........Get ATTACHED and be MERRY.......

Get ATTACHED and be MERRY!!

2PM: ADAM is here and so is Christmas EVE..........

...and if you want to help decorate my Christmas Tree, get out your
crayons or colored pencils and COLOR MY TREE!!

CHRISTMAS EVE........EVE

CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS; The spirit has got me by the ornaments!!

2 PM: ....only TIME will tell................

"AM".... MELANCHOLY BRAIN FARTS..................

.....SOME FAT GUY IN A RED SUIT BREAKS INTO YOUR HOUSE, STEALS
YOUR COOKIES (LEFT BY THE TREE WITH CARE), LEAVES YOU YET ANOTHER TERRY CLOTH BATHROBE AND LITTERS YOUR ENTIRE HOUSE
WITH ASHES AND SOOT!

The MELANCHOLY is dribbling on me from the SPIRITS (Christmas and
other wise) IN THE SKY...................

Today would have been my Dad's 90th birthday......Happy Birthday, Dad;
we hope you and Mom are doing fine 'there'..........

Wondering about my youngest son (Not Bob, who is waiting for Rachel's
Grandparents to arrive) and where the fuck he is????????

My grandmother: Remembering her pleasure in watching her kids and their kids (that's me!) enjoying Christmas, watching as we ALL 'carefully' opened our Xma$ loot.....she saved all the wrapping paper....an original 'recycler'.

....my grandfather on the back porch puffing away on his homemade cigars
and/or a Toscani Cigar (try one, "you'll like it"....cough, cough, stink,
stink!).

The school where my sister teaches is putting on a play this evening and if you guessed 'A CHRISTMAS CAROL', you'd be right! (Little people performers ONLY)........

My shopping is, of course, all done....I spent lots of $$$$ this year because
of my Social Security Settlement but next year, it will be back to lumps of coal.......

My youngest nephew will be in this week from Denver and he'll leave on the
26th, taking his older brother to Grand Junction, where he will catch a train to visit his Dad (and grandmother) in California.

Looking forward to my Christmas telephone visit with my daughter.

And what the hell do I give 2 cats, 1 dog, 9 fish, a flock of chickens (including my 'youngest child', Sunny-D) and 2 horses.......aw.....some good chow and some extra animal "chit-chat".......I have a turkey to cook,
so "JC", Pep'Purr and Sue-Sue, The Dog, will help me eat it!

The turmoils of the WORLD WE (that's "us", kemo sabe!) LIVE IN are
always raining on me.................thinking about all of the men, women
and children killed in Iraq this year, is appalling.....easy to tear up! It's
not just those specific lives, but their families...their survivors..."Daddy
won't be home for Christmas.................."

Merry Christmas, George.

A Christmas wish might be to eliminate all the evil in this world and bring on 'peace on earth' (or no good will become of humanity).....of course, I'm not sure how many people would be left but that's another GIGANTIC issue.

Happy New Year, George.

And as Carl would have said, "Merry Christmas to the 'billions and billions'
of bloggers out there............."

In my 'tongue in cheek' "squabble" with Kelley's commentors on her
Reality TV post (The Survivor) I encountered a young blogger (she say's
she is 26...and everybody is younger than me!) named Gennie, who is
a philosophical opposite of me. She is pro life, a republican, loves George (Hell somebody besides Laura has to!), enjoys the missionary position,
probably thinks oral sex is a way to tell dirty jokes-------------all in all, she
was an excellent blog (in lay out and content), regardless of HER
slant on life.......damn, A LINK: GENNIE

My stomach is growling, so I guess I'd better eat the "other" pizza I made last night, 'prepare' the chicken's entree (a little plain pasta & canned corn)
see what drivel is on my new TV and then go 'shopping' for some oat hay
for Sammie Sosa and BillieBob.

DAMN, IT'S EVEN CLOSER TO CHRISTMAS THAN WHEN I STARTED THIS
POST!

11:3OAM: THE PREVIEWS can now be VIEWED.

(.....you know I meant BEINGS!!!!!!!!)

A LITTLE AFTER 1PM: I am going to fart....and it ain't the brussel sprouts I had for dinner!

Tinkle, tinkle, little boy star
Michael wonders where you are?
Up above the sky a mile
Lusted by this pedophile.

.......that fart just came out of the blue!
















Actually, my favorite holiday is Columbus Day!

I just love to see my fellow WOPS bicker with the REDSKINS over the good, the bad and the ugly of old Chris Columbo.......or was that Peter Falk?

Maybe my 'people' could start selling pizza out of teepees?

Should we start using warpaint? No, 'cause we don't hide our faces when we go out and whack somebody.

And Custer wasn't a wop......I think he was a blonde, blue eyed kraut.....sour thing to say!

.......don't ask...........

...........................................................................

9:15AM: Wonder if "FATS" ever sang WHITE MONDAY?

.......and what about the CAT EYES?

Well, for those of us who have BLOGSPOT (or maybe it was just my Blog), the publishing system was ___________ up
yesterday for most of my morning.

Sometime during the day, I was able to get to my 'posting page' but when I went to load an image into the post--I got the cold shoulder.........the Blogspot system FROZE up my
Emac........so, I was 'pissed' (OH, NO! NOT AGAIN!)...I then tried again.........."IT" let me post but would not publish (and I just did text)........more "PISSED".......and I said Blogspot, 'fuck it!"

I went web trolling for animation.

I checked in one more time with Blogspot....it seemed to be working........I was'nt.............my creative energy was zapped and that was that!

I sent some eyes in to look around....THE END of 120703.......another PEARL of a day to go swimming in the HARBOR.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Memories..........Fats Domino...."Blue Monday".......and where ever it was where he 'found his thrill'.......and if any of, you all, don't know who Fats Domino, it's your loss!

BIG PICTURE FOR A BIG MAN.........and where did this come from? Thinking about TAS and now being able to hear her music 'thing'......

ALERT!

In case you haven't notice, it appears that I am 'brain farting'......just sit at the posting box...'farting' away and what ever happens, happens!

We are being snowed on this morning!

Snow looks good as long as you can stay inside.......BUT,
I will have to bite the snow bullet to go outside and feed the chickens and the horses....."JC", Pep'Purr and Sue-Sue, The Dog, are all "nestled snug in their beds (of the moment)"...
and I am left here to fart my blog away.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

One of my favorites cable (I have DISH) channel's is the FOOD CHANNEL!

I watched a show on "lunch box" favorites and they did a piece on ''lunch boxes'' in Japan.

I remembered DEMI doing a post on the lunch she prepared for her daughter.

The pictures of the 'LUNCH' looked so professional, I thought she might have gotten the pictures from a web site, just to show us an example.........but as the show explained, mom's making school lunches for their children in Japan is a cultural art form of sorts! Mom's take special classes to learn how to make THE BEST 'lunch box' for their children.

Demi learned well!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


I am regressing a bit by doing LINKS.......but when you 'brain fart' everything goes!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

DAYS UNTIL XMAS!

I love parody...where you take a CLASSIC and twist it and turn it until the CLASSIC becomes a parody--a 'CAUSTIC
AND HUMEROUS' piece of writing.

I may do a few before XMA$ arrives but in the mean time,
visit LORELEI for some GREAT XMA$ parodies!!!!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

........and when it comes to writing beautiful prose about her life that I relate to everytime, please visit
ANONYMOUS GURL.......and encourage her to write more often!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

AND WITHDAY TO GO,
I AM TABLING ''MY QUEST'' THRU THE XMA$ SEASON.....
BUT I ASSURE YOU, GEORGE, I WILL BE BACK!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

GOOD DAY TO YOU, ''JC'' KITTY...

TOO EARLY A.M. LIFE IS A GAS UNTIL YOU RUN OUT........

BAH HUMBUG! (2)


I guess life wouldn't be interesting if I wasn't 'pissed off' about something!

I am now pissed at my propane dealer!

When I first contracted with them they were a small locally owned company but sometime last year they were 'engulfed' by a major propane company,
Ameri-Gas.

They suddenly lost their 'hometown' flare and copped a 'corporation' attitude.

This current season, they offered a package deal of buying 500 gallons of
propane in advance at $1.38 per gallon.....excellent deal as propane is currently selling at $1.57 per gallon.

Thanksgiving week I ordered a refill and was told it would be delivered this
past Wednesday...it didn't arrive.

Thursday it didn't arrive.

(I am also advised by the local eye doctor that they had a cancellation and I could get my eyes checked today at noon.)

Friday it didn't arrive and some redneck jerk off (I usually deal with a very sweet young woman) told me they had a driver out sick......so what the fuck does that have to do with delivering my prepaid propane?

The jerk said he would talk to the driver about working today, Saturday and that, my friends, is the last I heard from the corporate pig!

Left them a message via the national Ameri-gas 'hot line'.

(Of course, I am on line right now and I only have 1 phone line but I'll be damned if I will sit and wait for some asshole to call me!)

The main issue is this: I am running my propane water heater (propane for my radiant heat, an electric one for my household water) at "vacation levels"
to get a bit of heat....usually wake up to 65 degrees (with ice outside) but this AM I woke up at 59 degrees----thank you, fleece wear!

Past the issue to the problem: If I totally run out of propane my pilot light will also 'run out' and I CAN'T LIGHT PILOT LIGHTS (physically or mentally)......so I have to be here until the propane driver arrives, THUS PUTTING MY EYE EXAMINE (AT NOON) IN JEOPARDY!

Now I could risk that the pilot light will not go out as I do not need to be here for a delivery (only)...........but.............

See how I obsess on 'things'?

See how I get pissed off about 'things'?




.........well, so much for being 'pissed' off........The propane delivery was just made at 8:25AM, my time!

At least I was being prepared to meet the worst case scenario......of frezzing my ass off this weekend!

Is being 'pissed' bad?

It is an emotion that we all deal with.......I choose to devote all of my energy
to 'it'.....adrenaline is adrenaline!

You can have a heart attack 'being pissed at a propane company' or rollin' in the sack with Pamela! (The latter would be the best way to go!)

Shit!

Now that I am no longer 'pissed off'.....what then this POST?

Oldcatman just loves to spew out rhetoric!!!!!!!!!!!!!




................humbug...................

9:30AM: ....a picture is worth 999 words and I get the last word!

Xma$ is right around the corner...........

Bah Humbug!

SHOP! SHOP! SHOP! The cry heard around the world!

Followed by...all the way to the retailer's bank!

..............of course, if you want my address to send me a Xma$ present, just ask!

And there are just days left...................

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Wow! This eMAC is fast when I do ''my computer chores"!

As an example: I do not have a digital camera (yet) so I have Kodak develope my 35mm film via SAFEWAY (food store) and I have files of all my film on line at Kodak..anyway, the process of ''playing'' with the film, was an extremely fast process (and does not eat up as much memory as digital pictures do) compared to my dear old Imac.

What a way to introduce some NEW photo's of mine...........................








.......I don't remember if those were the remains of the Bible Salesman, the local AWAKE MAGAZINE hustler or the paper boy who thru the paper in the flowers (ONCE!).......or was it a 'republican'???????

...................and Sue-Sue, The Dog, layed there with a smile on her face and a loud BURP!


Time to go........to go explore the eMAC somemore.

Until we meet again................

A.M. THE VIRGIN POST

Well, that was perhaps a bit too easy...........

The eMAC is up and running.

It has a lot of asinine bells and whistles that Apple could just as well left on a programers
desk top!

A quick opinion of Emac: It does the job a lot more efficently than the Imac did if you ignor the tackiness/gaudiness.

The screen is LARGE...17" diagonally.....so I could probably sit across the room with a key board and see things quite well.

99% of my files (images, history, measurements, etc.) were transferred from the I to the E, via a CD.

Thanks to the 'brain fart' that had me put all of my web site favorites (including you all!)
in a separate FOLDER.

The E comes with an internet program called SAFARI.....it also has Internet Explorer 5.2.

Watch me trip and take a computer fall, now: I connect to SAFARI which has my AT & T
personalized home page (news, my weather, my sports, a picture of "JC" Kitty, etc.), BUT DOES NOT HAVE A COMPATIBLE ''FAVORITES'' PROGRAM.

Then I have a GOOGLE search engine ICON that I opened while connected to Internet Explorer....thus allowing me to use ALL (100's) of the web site addresses I saved from the Imac (and it's FAVORITEScomponent)...............computer dummy, my ass.......actually, I am just very creative when it comes to 'bastardizing' a computer system to fit my needs......STILL CAN'T MANIPULATE
THAT FUCKING BLOGSPOT TEMPLATE.......

BUT THE COMMENTS ARE FIXED....Thank you, Blogspot!

Was not so fortunate with my Email address book.....I have to rebuild that into the very generic Apple email system.......plan ahead, Guy: Yes, I have hard copy of all my Email addresses!

A bonus feature of the new E: I have never been able to listen to the music on TAS's
blog because I didn't have 'the' audio program needed......but now like magic I do and I get to hear her music selections!

I am assuming that my off line creating of my post is also still working......the new version of Appleworks (text, drawing, painting, etc.) that comes with the E is a bit more comprehensive..........THIS IS A TEST:
................well, it worked!

Going to pause for the cause (of learning more about the Emac).....I will be back........and it is good to be back..............

AND A QUESTION FOR 'YOU ALL': DO YOU FEEL IT TAKES TOO LONG TO
DOWN LOAD MY SIGHT BECAUSE OF ALL THE IMAGES (THE ISSUE HAS COME UP AGAIN), CONSIDERING THAT ONCE YOU GET TO MY SIGHT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ''LINK'' YOUR BLOGGING ASS ALL OVER THE BLOG WORLD (WHICH IN ITSELF, IS VERY TIME CONSUMING)!

2 PM: The 'computer dummy's' eMAC will be in the house tomorrow!

The next time I post it will be on the e-MAC.

I am going to Montrose tomorrow, bringing along my i-MAC to transfer my files over to the new machine; said transfer better work because my "files" have built back up since my computer crash of a month or so ago.

As I sit here doing this 'last post', a strange vibe found its
way thru my mind..............................AFTER I FINISH TRANSFERRING MY CURRENT FILES TO THE NEW MACHINE, WE'LL RUN A NEW 'OS' THRU THIS OLD MACHINE WHICH WILL WIPE OUT 'PRESENT' MEMORY;
I WILL REMEMBER ''IT'' BUT ''IT'' WON'T BE ABLE TO REMEMBER ME....................(yes, I've been enjoying herbs!)...................

Whoa...............that's a ''sensitivity level'' gone amuck!
(Besides, the transferred data will carry the essence of the "old i-MAC".......................amuck!

Can you image if the entire population of the earth had a 'sensitivity level' as I just wrote about?

Fucking peace.

'Til I become intimate with my e-MAC for the very first time.....................
