The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

Quote II

Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't. Erica Jong

The Muslim Squad Members are pretty quiet. The Religion of Pieces really don't care for homosexuals.

A gay Iranian man has been reportedly beheaded by his brother and two cousins after they discovered he had been exempted from military service due to his sexuality.

Alireza Fazeli Monfared, 20, was allegedly taken by the three male members of his family to the village of Borumi, western Iran, and murdered.

Afterwards, the three killers allegedly called Alireza's mother to tell them they had 'finished him off'.

Just because you are overrun with some type of creature, doesn't mean you have to eat it. Now if Casa Misanthrope had an abundance of steers or feeder pigs. Now we are cooking.

The Cicadas Are Coming. Let’s Eat Them!
Why not embrace Brood X as the free-range, sustainable source of protein that it truly is?

FOR 17 YEARS, the trillions of cicadas known as Brood X have tunneled through dark soil, feeding on sap as they slowly matured. Babies during the George W. Bush years, these long-gestating underground bugs are starting to hosta across the eastern United States, emerging from the earth in astounding numbers. Their time above ground is short: three to six weeks, just long enough to mate and die. As a biological phenomenon, gigantic cicada broods are hard to ignore. They’re like crickets with musical-theater degrees—dramatic, loud, committed to a splashy outfit change. And while some people will delight in their natural spectacle, others will just want to be rid of them. There is, however, another reaction: Grab a fork and knife.

So I wonder if the author, Kate Knibbs, enjoys dining on road kill?

Here's hoping that Obama and his Martha Vineyard pricks enjoy their renewable energy, loud and clear.

Blown Away
The Biden administration just granted final approval for “Vineyard Wind,” a huge offshore wind farm off the coast of Massachusetts.

The wind farm, which would be the first large-scale facility of its type in the United States, will eventually include 84 turbines about 15 miles off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, according to The New York Times. Once it’s ready, officials expect the farm to produce 800 megawatts of clean energy, making it an important first step toward the Biden Administration’s climate and energy goals.

What's wrong with this picture? The county I live in has more guns per capita than the City of Chicago. Yet our county has yet to have one murder this year. In the mean time the Sunsetting Dodering Paste Eating Resident of the White House says brown and black communities should blame the police.

Biden’s statement read:

This year, we also recognize that in many of our communities, especially Black and brown communities, there is a deep sense of distrust towards law enforcement; a distrust that has been exacerbated by the recent deaths of several Black and brown people at the hands of law enforcement. These deaths have resulted in a profound fear, trauma, pain, and exhaustion for many Black and brown Americans, and the resulting breakdown in trust between law enforcement and the communities they have sworn to protect and serve ultimately makes officers’ jobs harder and more dangerous as well.

In order to rebuild that trust, our State, local, and Federal Government and law enforcement agencies must protect constitutional rights, ensure accountability for misconduct, and embrace policing that reflects community values and ensures community safety. These approaches benefit those who wear the badge and those who count on their protection.

Let’s be clear: Biden’s statement is a slap in the face to every cop in America.

Jeez Joe, why don't you tell these communities to take responsibility like law enforcement? Oh yeah, you need Balkanized factions to keep the Democratic Party afloat. If you really cared about these communities the first thing you would do is flood those areas with school vouchers and let parents get their kids out of Unionista hell holes public schools.

Enough rant.......

You had one job to do. Genius Award Winner.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - A Florida woman who was supposed to be a designated driver during a night out became intoxicated and hit three parked cars over the weekend after leaving a bar, authorities said.

Melanie Esclera, 40, had a blood alcohol content twice the legal limit when she was tested by police following the string of crashes just before 1 a.m. Sunday in Port St. Lucie.

When officers arrived at the scene, the engine compartment of her 2010 sedan caught fire.

Officers extinguished the blaze

95 PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - A Florida woman who was supposed to be a designated driver during a night out became intoxicated and hit three parked cars over the weekend after leaving a bar, authorities said.

Melanie Esclera, 40, had a blood alcohol content twice the legal limit when she was tested by police following the string of crashes just before 1 a.m. Sunday in Port St. Lucie.

When officers arrived at the scene, the engine compartment of her 2010 sedan caught fire.



Speaking of auto accidents with drunk drivers:

Last weekend I stumbled across some old "gross them out to terrify them" drivers ed videos from the Sixties, on YouTube. Yup, dead people, blood-soaked, crumpled-up, or burned beyond recognition. I took drivers ed in '73 and do not recall being shown these films. If you're in a voyeuristic mood, look on utube for Signal 30, Highway of Agony, Red Asphalt, and Wheels of Tragedy.

103 The Biden administration just granted final approval for "Vineyard Wind," a huge offshore wind farm off the coast of Massachusetts.
The wind farm, which would be the first large-scale facility of its type in the United States, will eventually include 84 turbines about 15 miles off the coast of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts


Place your bets:
1. Some environmental group will find a previously unknown, now endangered, organism that will die if the turbines are built

2. After being sued, one of the US attorneys will accidentally lose/forget to file a key document that will either set the US back to square one, or permanently block the wind farm

and/or
3. Iran will test their nuke in DC during a joint session of congress.

I had those in the 80s. But they looked old like they were from the 70s.

Did any of you who took driver's ed ever get put in those driving simulation contraptions? What I recall was that it was about the size of a bumper car, had some film roll or paper roll that had a street and you would get paper images of signs or people coming across the street. It had a wheel and pedals.

It was the stupidest thing and in no way similar to driving. I also remember the actual student cars had two sets of wheels and pedals so the instructor could keep us from killing everyone.

147 Well, duh pipeline is supposedly back on. Apparently word got out, as the gas stations weren't that full this evening around 8 PM or so.

I stopped at this little Exxon I frequently haunt (not for gas) and asked the guy there about the situation. He said they didn't run out, but would have if they didn't shut down half their pumps.

He had just opened them up. This morning he said, they got word to close down one side. That tamped down demand enough to keep them from running out.

Economics 101: When demand spikes and supply can't meet it, you can do two things. Let the price rise and tamp demand down, or don't change the price and ration. If you don't, you run out.

I thought that was a pretty smart rationing trick. Rather than try to limit amounts at the pump, just shut half of them down, which limits how fast they can dispense.

181 I had Drivers Ed after I had already been driving for a year, to get the insurance break. We used Monte Carlos with 350 engines.

I was stopped at a light and noticed a dump truck coming up on my at high speed and realized he wasn't going to be able to stop so I started to turn right and get out of his way. The teacher pushed on his remote brake pedal to stop me and starting saying that I couldn't turn on red. Rather than explain, I just stomped the pedal to the floor and drug that car around the bend with the teacher standing on his brake with all his might as the truck slide right through where I had been stopped.

The farmhouse at Gramma's had a walk out basement with a shower and a bunch of old milk buckets right by the door. After a day of running all over the farm and playing in the barns, creek and woods, Grammy would have us come into the house at that spot and give us bucket baths and then hose us down right there before we could go upstairs.

193 Did any of you who took driver's ed ever get put in those driving simulation contraptions? What I recall was that it was about the size of a bumper car, had some film roll or paper roll that had a street and you would get paper images of signs or people coming across the street. It had a wheel and pedals.

It was the stupidest thing and in no way similar to driving. I also remember the actual student cars had two sets of wheels and pedals so the instructor could keep us from killing everyone.

I took that course in summer school when I was 16. The teacher was young and lackadaisical, and he would leave and let us do the driving machines on our own. Me and the "bad boys" would compete to see how many people and cars we could hit. I think it was the year the first Death Ray 2000 came out - "50 Points!" was our catchphrase for each hit.

I turned the radio on and Mark Levin was on. He had some guy, some Democrat friendly type, talking about meeting with Bidiot when he first got in the WH. He said he warned Slow Joe about the inflationary effects of shoveling too much out via stimulus, and using some of it to pay people not to work.

He then said, he realized this wasn't the same Joe he used to know, even back in the Barky admin. Joe hasn't just lost his fastball, he's lost all his balls. And marbles too.

He then said he spoke to Bernie after that, and told Bernie, hey did you every think we'd have a president farther to the left than you? Bernie laughed and agreed.

We don't have such a president. He's not left or right or anything any more. He doesn't know where he's at. It's those actually running the show.

there was one three or four years back. There is a show called Rick and Morty that I have never watched, well at least not than a few minutes of it. Their fans got Mcd's to bring back their "Szechuan Sauce" from a promotion of the movie Mulan I believe. Anyway, MCD's botched the entire rollout, way worse than Popeye's but on a less grand scale. You had fans of the show going all over the place in a tizzy to get some sweet, terriaki type sauce for their nuggets. It might have been on of the first modern signs of the trouble we are in.

Unlikely that you missed them. The holes indicate their imminent emergence. When the soil temp reaches 64 degrees, the emergence begins. Then they climb up tree trunks, utility poles, etc to escape their exoskeleton (which often will remain on the item they climbed) and start flying around.

Reading more about this sauce thing, it's not just Chic-Fil-A sauces, they are problems all over the condiments market. Shortages in ketchup packets even.

While there are problems with the condiments themselves that stem from the same supply with food in general, it's particularly acute with the small packets.

The lockdowns increased take-out and delivery, which greatly increased demand for the packets. So that would be a shift in demand from the larger bottles and stuff to the packets.

Heinz is ramping up packet production by 25% this year for instance.

429 "Cicadas live underground as nymphs for most of their lives at depths down to about 2.5 m (8 ft). Nymphs have strong front legs for digging and excavating chambers in close proximity to roots where they feed on xylem sap. In the process, their bodies and interior of the burrow become coated in anal fluids."

Eight feet deep, wow. They live 17 (or whatever) years total, but only for a month in the adult stage. Hard luck life, what with the anal fluid coating etc.

partial credit. It is called "Fancy Ketchup". McD's and Heinz have been butting heads for decades. There was a dispute in the 70s that pretty much ended the relationship. They still sold Heinz ketchup in PA and a few other locales where the sauce is a religion.

people would be shocked by how many gourmands in Asia and other places use Ketchup in elaborate sauces and meals. I don't think we do that really other than some home made bbq sauces. Oddly, the original ketchup contained no tomatoes. Now it is tomato based, but the red coloring is what makes it seem all tomato all the time. I recall when Heinz came up with blue ketchup a couple decades ago, that attempt to revitalize sales ended in failure.

I saute up onion, sweet corn, and peppers in butter, add a little flour to thicken it, add some heavy cream and crawfish tail meat. Season with Cajun seasoning.

Cool that mixture down to where it congeals (kinda like leftover sawmill gravy) and then put a spoonful of it in wonton wrappers and then deep fry them.

I just read up on the history of ketchup/catsup. I was surprised. "Ketchup" spelling came before "catsup", and even "catchup" was used at one time.

The word "ketchup" was first documented in 1711, in Europe. "Catsup" appeared in 1730, in a Jonathan Swift poem.

It wasn't until the 1800s that tomatoes were incorporated into ketchup

For some reason it doesn't work that way in a pressure cooker. They are "done" but there is no substitute for long slow simmering, apparently.

They work great for canning though, I put up a bunch of veggies and stuff during last year's Unpleasantness. It is built like an industrial piece of equipment. I remember it cost a small fortune. Very nice gear.

The original ketchup was more like Worchester sauce in consistency and was a originally a fish sauce. It was made from walnuts, kidney beans, mushrooms, and anchovies.

Some Brit sailors first brought it home, and that's when it started becoming popular in Britain and Europe.

There is disagreement over the origin of the word "ketchup". It could be from the Malaysian word "kicap/kecap" which was a fish sauce, or from the Chinese word "ke-chiap", which was their word for fish sauce.

have some semblance of taste, an activity completely and wholly foreign
to their nationality.

I was working one summer in a room off Picadilly Circus that had no air conditioning. There was a bagpiper outside, so we alternated between opening the window to let the air in, while being subjected to the bagpipe, and being stuffy and hot. One day the English guys I was working with said they would get pizza for lunch. I thought, great, finally something edible. They came back with a fish pizza. No kidding, chunks of fish. I nearly vomited on the spot. What made it worse, for days thereafter the room smelled like fish, which made the hot, stuffy window closing even more unbearable. But hey, we were indoors, we slept in beds, and no one was shooting at us, so it wasn't all bad.

The Vietnamese make a fish sauce called Nuoc Mam.

I've used pressure cookers -- the non-electronic, stovetop ones for years. Hell, those are better, running at 15psi gauge pressure. Some of the electronic ones run the pressure lower at 10 psi, or even lower, reducing the temperature. You get about 250F (depending on altitude) with 15 psi.

They are quite safe. You've got a blow-out plug on the top that will relieve pressure at some overpressure level, and the main gasket is designed to rupture and relieve pressure above that if the blow-out plug were to somehow fail.

Explosion stories come from the really old designs which didn't have relief valves and had shitty mechanical designs for a pressure vessel.

We had an NCO, SSG Mitchell, who was insane. He had a DSC from Vietnam, which was the reason they were letting him stay in the Army until he made 20 years and could retire and disappear. (It would have been a Medal of Honor, the story goes, but he was too crazy as SP4 Mitchell and his chain of command said no way.) He had no real job -- he ran the Unit Learning Center, which was a made-up position. Once when we jumped into JOTC, he disappeared into the jungle and was gone for 2 weeks. Every once in a while a patrol would be going by and would see a green camouflaged face that then disappeared back into the jungle. On the last day, he tagged on to a patrol and came in with them. I could write a book of Mitchell stories.

686 We had an NCO, SSG Mitchell, who was insane. He had a DSC from Vietnam, which was the reason they were letting him stay in the Army until he made 20 years and could retire and disappear. (It would have been a Medal of Honor, the story goes, but he was too crazy as SP4 Mitchell and his chain of command said no way.) He had no real job -- he ran the Unit Learning Center, which was a made-up position. Once when we jumped into JOTC, he disappeared into the jungle and was gone for 2 weeks. Every once in a while a patrol would be going by and would see a green camouflaged face that then disappeared back into the jungle. On the last day, he tagged on to a patrol and came in with them. I could write a book of Mitchell stories.

Shakey's Pizza joints in the Philippines make a scallop pizza that's damn good.

I use stinky fish sauce in all sorts of things, spaghetti sauce tonight as an example. It's an umami bomb. Forget how it smells going in, it will cook off. If you smell it in the finished product, you either want the seafood odor, or most commonly, you used too much.

We use 3 Crabs from Hong Kong for our utility stinky fish, and Red Boat from Vietnam for a table/dipping sauce.

Stinky fish and malt vinegar is the cats meow for a dipping/drizzle sauce for lots of proteins, rice, veggies.

Posted by: callsign claymore at May 12, 2021 11:09 PM (XYBf

The last night of one deployment, there was a little bar called the Jungle Inn there at Fort Sherman, and one of our troops got drunk and passed out outside. During the night, a vampire bat came along. They don't actually have fangs, they have little sharp teeth and their saliva has anticogulant, and they lick up the blood. The bat bit him on his softest skin, which was the inside of his lip. So when we came out in the morning and found him lying there, he had blood all over his face. He was looking at 21 days of rabies shots in the stomach unless we could find the bat so it could be examined for rabies. Fortunately, it was laying about 3 feet from him, flapping its wings uncontrollably, too drunk to fly.

691 For those unclear on the "when to shoot the bastard" question regarding the door-kicker in the "content", let me try to help.

Y'know in the game "football" (U.S. not Euro), the ball-carrier or pass receiver has to, at the very minimum, "break the plane", that is, get the ball, any portion of the ball, across the 0 yard line, and to the inside dimension of the orange pylons which define the junction of the 0 yard line and sidelines.

Same for the homeowner. The miscreant has to at least minimally "break the plane" of the boundary between porch and interior. Pro-tip. That rubber of spring-metal seal just barely inside the door jamb? THAT defines the boundary between what's outside, and in. Bad guy puts so much as fingernail across THAT plane, and you can throw a 9mm Penalty Flag at 1,100 fps, and keep throwing 'em till the offender stops offending. That can be fall down and be still, or retreat and fall later. Either way, at THAT point, you stop throwing "flags".

Stovetop pressure cookers aren't that much of a hassle to me. You just put on the lid, turn the burner on high, and wait for it to come up to pressure at which point the jiggler starts going, "shucka, shhhucka, shucccka", then turn it down to medium or lower to maintain pressure. You judge that by how vigorous the jiggler is jiggling. And then you set the time and you're done.

It roughly cuts the cooking down to 1/3, although that varies. Some things are much less than 1/3.

As I was waiting for Ranger School to start, I had 3 weeks at 3rd Ranger Company. We did PT twice a day and work details in between. The first day, the NCO in charge asked if anyone in the formation knew how to use carpentry tools. This sounded like something one wanted to volunteer for, rather than spending the day filling sand bags, so I said "Hooah" and got my own wood shop. There was a complete wood shop at Harmony Church from back in WW II. While my fellow Rangers waiting for the school were filling sandbags and painting rocks, I was doing carpentry projects for the First Sergeant and Ops Sergeant. Good times.

For example, mashed squash. It takes about 15 - 20 minutes to boil sliced squash to get it soft enough to mash up.

With a pressure cooker, all you have to do is get it up to pressure, then immediately cool down.

Anyway, after hubby went to sleep I decided to have a drink so I went down cellar to see what was available. There in a box from my parent's home was a bottle of Glenlivet, it has been in the cellar for over ten years, too bad it doesn't age in the bottle. I brought it upstairs and when I attempted to open it the cork stopper disintegrated into the bottle. I spent twenty minutes looking for a small strainer to pour myself a wee glass on the rocks, I had to settle on the industrial size strainer since it dawned on me that the small one was under the bathroom sink to filter those pesky kidney stones. Three ice cubes and a bit of Glenlivet with a splash of water, Cheers.

Sweet! During "post support" day in basic (Missouri in early July), I got detailed to a small, two-story building with about 11 other trainees. We were all in dread of our fates. Some trainees were essentially on chain-gang detail picking litter up along post roads, what have you. A master sergeant comes out. We were ordered to pick up whatever litter was on the grounds, which took about 20 minutes, and then buff the first floor, by machine, clean the windows, dust, etc. When we were done, he brought out a cooler of soda and that was it for the day. He was an older NCO, saw we were pretty good troops doing a pretty good job, and yeah, I lucked out.

never had kidney stones, sorry for your troubles there. They say booze, the real stuff is more dehydrating, but then again, there is a consumption level difference we hope. I would for sure try to add in some water in between if your doc says dehydration is likely a cause of it. Too bad about the cork there. They say you should store wine on its side to prevent cork issues. Whiskey is normally stored upright, but if it is old enough, people will pull the cork and re cork it.

742 There was a sort of mafia among the senior officers and NCOs in my battalion who were all veterans of the 1st Cav, Ia Drang Valley. They protected SSG Mitchell and took care of him, sort of hid him from Big Army to get him to retirement. Every once in a while Big Army found him and he was transferred for exactly one year, which was the minimum amount of time you had to stay before being transferred again. One of those transfers was to Fort Carson, Colorado, which is near Pueblo, Colorado, which in those days was a big Government Printing Office facility. I have no idea what happened there, but when he got back to the unit from Fort Carson books started arriving by the carton for months. The battalion got 3 complete sets of the bound History of the U.S. Army, and Lord knows how many other books and pamphlets, all free from Pueblo.

Only the fuck-ups or discipline cases had to do real work; otherwise it was generally nuisance stuff that had some post support value. We got to use the mini PXs in the evening and watch movies.

783 Not so much odd man out, Miklos, as Hezbollah has always been an Iranian/Shi'a operation, and is by far Iran's largest/most important proxy force. Hamas turned to Iran nearly 20 years ago (remember the Karine A incident?), as the Sunni $$$ became harder to get.

And Hezbollah is far more effective, well-resourced, sophisticated, and threatening. Their massive concealed rocket operation in Lebanon - using much improved, longer range and much more accurate rockets - is Iran's ace in the hole/Israel's worst problem (aside from a Persian nuke, of course).

But her delusional views of the election, and mouthing the absolutely dumbest vapid baseless slanders of Trump - that he somehow was a threat to the constitution - just make her another Beltway airhead unfit for any public office, and also unfit to have her idiotic opinions inflicted on the populace.

The only threat to the constitution posed by Trump was his continuation of the approach of all recent presidents before him in surrendering executive power to a lawless judiciary. That's it. What are the examples of anything else? It's the whole ridiculous baseless "broken norms" nonsense, redux.

The Hadid sisters Daddy is one hell of a piece of work. I was reading about his mansion boondoggle just yesterday. The fool decided to build some YUGE 50K ft^2 mansion that he tried to build in Bel Air.

It was on a steep hill, and he evaded building codes -- there are claims of paying off inspectors and all that.

Anyway, it was about half complete when a judge ordered the thing demolished. He was into it for about $50M from what I read, and now he's finally sold it for $8M. The buyer has to destroy the half-ass mansion.

Search on "Hadid mansion" to read the details.

The main thing with that Hadid mansion, which he called the "Starship Enterprise" was the pilings weren't driven deep enough. Neighbors down below the site were afraid the thing could come loose and slide down the hill. They sued, and the judge eventually ordered the property demolished.

If you're gonna build a mansion like that, best to do it out in the country. Pick a spot with a lot of land.

Around here, there have been some of those. Next time you're up here, I'll show you one, about 3 or 4 miles away. They put the property of an old farmer around here, who had a pretty big spread after he and his wife died. Kids sold it. They tore down the old house, but left his grain bins for some reason. Left an equipment shed as well. Must have thought it looked quaint or something.

Then they build one hell of a house. It wasn't 50K ft^2, but it was probably over 10K. YUGE, sprawling. That was about 10 years ago. They fixed up the grounds, turning his pasture into a huge lawn, with all sorts of expensive fencing, grand gates and shit like that.

It's up for sale now. They want $10M for the spread. I don't know if they'll get anywhere near that. It's a source of some amusement for the neighbors.

The night my father broke his hip, I'll never forget. First thing, ambien is a hypnotic, and it can wipe short term memory. You don't get to sleep any faster, you just don't remember being awake as long as you were (studies have confirmed this effect). You have sleep-walking episodes, including sleep-driving and such like that.

When daddy would get on the Ambien, he'd get restless (but wouldn't remember it). He'd get agitated, and would get up and go from chair to chair, and to the couch, and so forth. He'd get wobbly and lose coordination. One minute, he couldn't even stand up, the next he would get rather spry.

So, that night, he was flying on the Ambien, and I was trying to keep him in one place. He wouldn't pay any attention. He was on the couch in the living room, and pissed himself trying to get up to go the bathroom. He lay back down, seemed to go back to sleep. Then he got up again. I got a walker for him. He hobbled around and went back in the den. He lay down on the couch there.

842 Back when NoVa was lotsa farmland, one local property owner sold off some land and from it the street I grew up on was built. It was a one block cul-de-sac with two-story homes, typical for the early 60's. The family kept what would've been 4 lots, 2 lots along the street and 2 lots between the street and the next street over (so, basically, the 4 houses that would be the first two houses on the two, parallel streets. They had the largest home by far, but it was not a monster home and the lot was heavily wooded. Great fort building. When that generation died, the lot was sold off, subdivided, and ugly monster homes, out of character with the street, were built.

On the den couch, I thought he was zonked out for the night finally. He started snoring. So I get up and go in the kitchen to get something to drink and finally think I can go to bed myself.

I sit down in the office at the computer to check things one last time. I then hear the sound of him shooting up off the couch. I start to get up and run in there. Then I hear a crash and banging. And moaning. He got up, fell over, and turned out broke his hip.

He had no memory of that. Thought I was making shit up.

848 My mother was on a sleep aid once (ambien or zoloft), and my wife and I had a conversation with her in the hall late one night. Very weird. I clearly remember her describing shapes she saw in the wallpaper pattern, which included a baby. She then started stroking the "baby's" head, and asking if we could see it.

852 I had to try to wake an elderly relative up after taking Ambien. That person never took Ambien again. There are meds that work, but doctors don't want to prescribe them. Way too late to get into this now but much of what is new is not better from my experience of caring for the truly infirm. It is like how people today think a new app is groundbreaking, but they forgot about computers, space flight, sonar, etc.

I would do so if it actually works. My concern is proponents say it fixes everything. I recall when it was about glaucoma lol. I am open to the changes, they are here regardless. But to many older people it is cultural thing. I would never give that to someone who was not clear what they are taking and they said they wanted to do it. I get how many young people would not understand that. But we got it driven into our heads that THC was all bad.

Years before, when Daddy was probably around 83 or so, he had an hallucinatory episode late one night. He had a cold, and had taken some Nyquil, with DM in it. He then took Ambien. Around 11 - 12 that night, I heard him call me and laugh.

He said, "You'll think I'm crazy, but look in that mirror. Do you see those fish swimming around?"

Now, DM, when taken in high doses, around 10 - 20x normal, does have a hallucinogenic effect (Robotripping, the kids call it). The ambien and the DM apparently had that affect, at least that night.

It runs in his side of the family (and I'll probably be the same way) when they get old. When they get "hepped up" on a bunch of drugs, not any particular one, just a combination of several, they can go wild.

My paternal grandmother, and all my uncles and father would do that.

One night in the hospital, my father tried to get up out of bed, totally wild, and it took 4 nurses to hold him down. An 85ish year old man was fighting off 4 nurses and gaining the upper hand. Took a dose of Haldol to knock him out.

As I vaguely recall *ahem* it is a good calming item.

If it can keep college kids lazily in their chairs or on sofas, it would be good to encourage Old Ladies to stay in bed and not wander around and fall (Ambien).

861 and Ambien probably does work for some people. Taking prescription ideas on the net has to be worse of an idea than even taking golf tips. I know many here are friends and respect each other. And there is nothing wrong with hearing someone out if you believe their opinion is at least well given. But certainly any med stuff needs to go through doctors. If you don't like their decisions, check with another one.

I have heard the horror stories about people freaking on Ambien. My short experience was the opposite. The problem was waking the person up, and to be honest, it was scary.

Posted by: Quint at May 13, 2021 02:41 AM (x/IHv)

It was funny. My mother wasn't going to tell him, but he woke up the next morning, and noticed he was strapped in bed. He then complained about being sore all over (yes, fighting off 4 nurses can do that).

She had to tell him what happened. She was there, and said she saw a "wild look" in my father's eyes she had never seen before, scared the hell out of her. He was a wild man, she said.

Years before, one of my uncles was in the hospital and did the exact same thing. They wanted someone from the family to stay with him every night. My father's shift was one night, and he came home talking about how he had to fight to keep my uncle in bed all night.

I told Daddy he was acting just like that uncle. He was denying anything like that could have happened.

I was lucky my relatives never got in that way, or pretty much almost never. Things affect people differently.

one of the most difficult things I ever had to do was take my dad's car keys away. The come down from his perch was a mighty fall. Certain guys don't take that lightly. The driving thing needs to be over a period, where if you are able, or someone else is able, they keep suggesting they drive and over time it is normal for them not to drive. One thing I learned is never "take their keys" away. Sure take the car key, but leave them with keys. Man even discussing this sucks, I wish to forget it all. But if even one thing helps someone, I am glad to do it.

Posted by: Quint at May 13, 2021 02:50 AM (x/IHv)

870 My father actually gave up driving on his own one night after having great difficulty getting home from a group therapy session he was attending. Hung up the keys and told my mother he wasn't going to drive anymore. He never did. (He had PSP, though at the time we didn't know it; earlier stages.) I give him a lot of credit for that decision.

872 >> Denial ain't just a river that flows into the Saluda.

Denial is actually what keep dear old Dad going. In that sense it's not a bad thing. If he would admit that his independent days are over, and that's he's neve going to get out and work and be the boss again, he wouldn't last a day.

In his mind, and I've heard him say this, he's just feeling a little under the weather, but in a week or so, he's gonna be back in the saddle.

A few years ago, I learned something about my oldest paternal uncle, Daddy's oldest brother (daddy was the baby of the family). He was actually planning to blow his brains out there at the last, when he lost his independence and realized his working days were over. He was in his early 80s.

His daughter told me all about that a few years ago, the full story of which they'd never mentioned.

The only thing that kept him from doing it was he didn't want his wife to find his body.

Daddy would be just like that, but the denial mechanism keeps his mind from going there.

Never finished the estate arrangements, always planned to finish all work as soon as he felt a little better.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't abuse. Every ass wouping I got, I deserved. If fact I got away with a lot, that should have had mom swinging dad's trusty belt. Good Times...good times.
