We have an indoor mosquito problem at GeedingManor. I thought we were unique to the situation but a friend mentioned he’s having trouble with the mosquitos inside his house.
It’s going to be a three-day weekend for me, I hope I accomplish something other than watching the Texas/OU game.
The Texas/OU game will be on Fox. My channel guide has it scheduled to start at 11:00 Am and to end at 2:30 PM. There ain’t no way that game is gonna end at 2:30 PM. Take the over.
I rest the back of my head against my chair too much, the back of my head often hurts.
OtherDogGeedingII is getting his second round of shots today.
Parenting can be exhausting. Rewarding, but mentally and physically exhausting.
Our country needs a big hug. Let’s hug it out, America.
Paige Patterson, ousted as president of a prominent Southern Baptist seminary this spring for allegedly dismissing women’s concerns about domestic abuse and rape, is set to teach a Christian ethics course at a Charlotte, N.C., seminary later this month.
In 2012, he launched his own cow-based beauty products line. Cowpathy Care, as it’s called, offers 80 products, including cow dung soaps, cow milk creams and an under-eye gel made from cow urine.

That’s no dog, but she probably did the safest thing by remaining calm.
CAUGHT ON CAMERA: You never know what will happen on live TV! During a live shot, an Utah reporter went off script when something walked in front of the camera. But what it is exactly is up for debate. Maybe dog, or coyote, or mountain lion. Way to hold composure! WE-008WE pic.twitter.com/R5XSKWDC2b
I go through most of my days trying to identify things which cloud my judgment. It’s my way of trying to filter out the noise so I can make sound decisions based on logic instead of emotion. It’s amazing how much bias played, and still plays in my life.
With that said, I noticed Republican Congressman Pete Sessions first campaign television commercial. He states the liberals are unloading negative attack ads at him. I’ll be honest, I haven’t seen one negative ad either for or against him. I wondered if that’s because of my bias, clouded judgment, the television I expose myself to, or if it’s just a political tactic he decided to utilize. The only political television commercials for liberals I can recall seeing are from Colin Allred (his opponent) and Beto O’Rourke, and I think they have too much to lose to go negative, at least at this stage. However, I do recall seeing more than a handful of negative commercials aimed at Democrats. Most align them with Nancy Pelosi, Iran, weak on the border, and state the candidates are “too liberal for Texas”. However, I don’t think I’ve seen any commercial from either party include President Trump.
It wasn’t until yesterday that I realized the book Pet Semetary is spelled the way it is. From my understanding, the “cemetery” is spelled that way because some kids made a sign and spelled it incorrectly.
As many of you know, I’m a sucker for presidential history. I was looking for some light reading about a month ago and decided to read Reggie Love’s memoir about being Obama’s personal assistant. I enjoy learning about the little nuances about their positions most people would never consider and the vantage point in which they witness history. I’ll be honest, I read the entire book in the voice of Charlie from NBC series ‘The West Wing’. I also thought a lot of the ‘Veep’ character Gary Walsh. Something he included which surprised me was a very heated argument between then-Senator Obama and then-Senator Clinton at an airport tarmac. Apparently, she wanted to apologize for some negative ads she claimed she had no part in but he saw through her B.S. and called her out on her tactic.
I’m often annoyed at WifeGeeding falling asleep as we watching movies or television. It’s a bonding experience for me, especially being able to speak about it afterward and later referencing or quoting from them later on. This guy feels my pain, but he charted and graphed how much his girlfriend fell asleep in an eight-month tracking period.
In a historic move, Amazon announced today (Oct. 2) that it will raise the minimum wage for all of its US workers to $15 an hour, a move that will affect 250,000 full-time employees and 100,000 seasonal workers for the e-commerce giant. Assuming a 40-hour work week, Amazon’s lowest-paid full-time employee in the US will make around $30,000 a year.
I like this approach a lot better than a business giving a one time bonus after the tax cuts were implemented.
Yesterday I was told I could pass for Chicago Cub Jon Lester’s doppelganger. Maybe slightly.
#OTD 10/2/1970 President Nixon & Gen. Francisco Franco motorcade through Madrid. Spain was then world's 2nd fastest growing economy. Franco's anti-Communist stance aligned Spain w/ some nations despite authoritarian repression until his death in 1975. (WHPO-4639-22A) pic.twitter.com/k8aa5Dwzq4
Texas Woman’s University is one of four independent public universities in Texas not affiliated with one of the public university systems in the state. Can you name the other three?
Flipping channels last night, I noticed Carl Weathers was a guest star on the reboot of ‘Magnum PI’. What made me laugh was he was standing next to the two Dobermans, who I always thought had fantastic names, Zeus and Appollo. As you’ll recall, Carl Weather played “Appollo Creed” in the Rocky movies, so I got a chuckle out that. Weathers, btw, is now 70 years old and looks great. Sylvester Stallone looks great for a 72-year-old, but looks freaky, unlike Weathers.
Speaking of dog names, I wanted to name OtherDogGeedingII “Roosevelt” but got voted down by the family. The kids at one point wanted to name him “Teddy” because he looks a bit like a teddy bear. That made me think of Teddy Roosevelt, then my love for presidential history and my father’s favorite president, Franklin. This all started while watching a Cowboys game when I spotted Jerry Jones’ driver, Roosevelt. I play this “game” every time Jerry is on the screen and see if I can spot Roosevelt, who is almost always by his side and always wearing sunglasses.
Five years after taking it off the shelves, the company believes there’s enough demand for the 35mm color transparency film to give it a second go, a move that looks set to delight long-time film fans in the business of taking stills as well as moving pictures.
“We need to replace pictures of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck with images of famous Egyptians and military martyrs, so that children will look up to them as role models. These characters are US-made, whereas we have our own noble figures who can deepen children’s patriotism and love of country,” Alaa Abdul-Halim Mohammed Marzouk told reporters.
For you ‘Better Call Saul’ fans, there is indeed a Baylor Street in Lubbock, but there is no house or building number of 8783.
It is regarded as one of the most depraved films ever – a ‘shockumentary’ full of autopsies, plane crashes and executions. Why was Faces of Death so influential? And does its director have any regrets?
