I was ready to start posting yesterday when DW came into the mancave looking very shaken up.She said that the last two days she’d woken up with no feeling on the left side of her face.All she could think was that she’d had a stroke.I told her it looked like when my older cousin contracted Bells Palsy.We called our doctor,who was not in the office and they advised us to go to the hospital.After 5 hours and a lot of tests,the MD on call concurred with my diagnosis of Bells Palsy,along with an abraded cornea since she can’t close her eye completely.When I went to bed I gave thanks to my Redeemer that it wasn’t any worse than it was for my best friend and life partner.We went to get her medication this morning and the generic was $183 for 20 pills.We called the hospital and there is nothing cheaper.We’ll get by somehow….we always do.You just have to figure out what your priorities are.

I mostly didn’t care for Archie Bunker, but there was one scene after his wife died that stayed with me. He had been sleeping on the couch, but finally got up the courage to go back into their bedroom. He found her slippers by the bed where she always left them. He picked them up and pressed them to himself, crying, “I was supposed to go first. I don’t know how to do this.”

There were some touching scenes in that show. Even some funny ones occasionally, but I hated that show with a passion. Even as a kid, I could see that the leftist producers and writers were just mocking traditional America, couching it in humor and thinly-veiled family sentimentality. But the truth is, leftists aren’t very skilled at humor or genuine sentiment. They lack the knack. Everything is an ax to grind, and the same damn ax is STILL being ground today in the same mold by guys like Seth McFarlane in American Dad and Family Guy – cheap knockoffs of AITF. Maybe I was sensitive because my maternal grandparents WERE Archie and Edith. To a ‘T.’ But with more heart.

FYI: I knew a guy whose job was the liaise between the different branches of the military. He told me he had a a couple feet of book shelf dedicated just to all the reference material he needed to keep track of all the acronyms and terminology.
Fortunately for me, my kids only joined two branches and were strict but limited in what I was expected to keep straight. Top of the list: Army = Soldiers = Hoo-ah; Marine = Warriors = Ooh Rah. (I still get mixed which one has Drill Instructors and which has Drill Sargeants at Boot or Basic.)
When Army Princess left from leave to go back to war, her stuff wouldn’t fit into what she’d brought home, so Warrior Princess lent her a back pack. I still get such a giggle seeing all the Army camo gear piled up by the door, with this one MARPAT (Marine camo pattern) pack and thinking how much ragging she’s gonna get when she gets back to EYE RACK. (If you’re in libtard country, it’s eh ROCK. If you’re with troops, it’s EYE RACK.)

Oh, by the way, at Eric Cantor’s Richmond office I called and asked if they could explain to me why he was choosing to vote for the action in Syria. They said they could not explain it, only take down my comments and concerns, but that the policy aides in Washington could explain it. So I called Washington and the aide there said that the press was reporting that he was going to vote for it, but that is the only information they have in the office. Do you believe him? I’m not sure if I do or not. It was so incredibly lame, but on the other hand, I can imagine Eric leaving them completely in the dark. A young friend was one of his interns a few years ago and she said it was not the best experience. She now works for Steve King from Iowa.
