I Have been married twice.........

And.....in order to quell the rumors.....I shall marry again. Any guesses whom? Right, just as I thought, no one has a clue......sheesh, you Folks are not paying attention.....

And for you doubting Thomas types....yes, I hear you, "Two times divorced, ol' Wollf must be bad at the Marriage thing....what's he thinking?"

I say, "Bah!". I'm actually quite good at being a Husband, Provider, Friend and that "other" thing.....PG-13, remember? I'm getting better at it, and you Know that I've been meditating on it......

You see, my first one.....at 19 lasted twelve years, and gave me two Beautiful Daughters......the second, Twenty Friggin' Years......see, I'm getting better, and how many years do I have left on this Mortal Coil? Thirty....ish?

I'm going for it.....don't try and talk me out of it, unless you want to.....and realise that M'Lady Dragn won't care for it....*laughing*.....

She's gone tonite, and I'm alone at the Lair with Uber, Ransom, Habibi (the Parakeet), and Bob the Fish........so, Really get to write....*phew*...it's a bit difficult when I'm so busy just reveling in the feeling of Her being in my Life....

But, that's not what I came here to talk about tonite....shades of "Alice's Restaurant", which, yes I know ALL the words to, so don't get me started....Dragn made the mistake once.....

Anyways.....M'Lady Dragn, a good Polish Catholic Gurl, and musician Extraordinaire, is off to play drums in a "Praise" band at the local Christian Church......as in Protestant.......*gasp*

I hope she has a wonderful time.....doesn't matter what "flavor" of Believer you are......what matters ...at least to Wollf, is that you follow the "tenets" of what our G-d has Blessed us with.......*yup, another conversation*.......

BUT.....the poor Dear Woman has little experience with Protestant or Evangelical Churches......so.....I gave her a bit of advice from my extensive knowledge......see above , years married....all to "either/or"......

First: The Holy Catholic Church typically has One door to enter and you are "In G-d's House"....the Nave, where the Worship happens.....there's a Fount as you enter filled with Holy Water to prepare yourself and Honor the Father....you know the drill.....don't make me recite.....

Second: In the Protestant Church, there are "typically" TWO" sets of doors.....the first is called the Narthex......not the mud room as you might think, or the Lobby, or any other such secular thing.....

There are often times pamphlets and New Testaments and coffee and donuts for the taking....*Evangelical, remember?*........there is also a.......fountain.....I warned her....

DON'T TOUCH IT!! It's for drinking, of all things, although I have a sneaking suspicion that it's actually a "Catholic Detector"....yes, I did Cross myself once, and trust me, People look at you kinda funny when you do that......

Third: *And this is because she is a Teacher*......during the Worship part of the Service, a few People might raise their hands, and sway them around as if to get your attention.

DO NOT CALL ON THEM!!! They are not wanting to ask a question or request a restroom pass......they are simply feeling the Spirit, and evoking, and Praising our G-d personally....it's the way it's done....oh and....

Fourth: In the same vein, if by chance someone jumps to their feet and shoots their hands upward, eyes to the ceiling........it is NOT the beginning of a Wave like at a sporting event, so try not to yell "Go 'Zona", or "Redwings!!".....it's not like that...........

And then there's this, and finally a bit serious, there "might" be an "Altar Call"...you don't have to go down....you're already a Member of the Eternal Club....

So....that's it for tonight.......Any non-Catholics, please understand the "fun" in which this is meant....the G-d that Wollf Believes in has a Great and Understanding sense of humor........

Don't worry, M'Lady Dragn, after reading this, will probably not leave me alone again.....heh....I feel so much better though, and NO.....no editing, I'll Post and then read this tripe......gotta go.

Probably to Confession.
"Forgive me Father Mike, for I have Written"........

Oh, He'll understand........
May our G-d Bless you all.....

Had my butt kicked about one too many times.....

As any who have followed this silly Journal/Journey for any time realise, I am now a divorced fellah....didn't want it, didn't ask for it....and am dammnably happy that it was so ordained.......

Took a bit of time......and the special tonic of a certain Dragn, but I am feeling pretty darned good emotionally.....

But.........I came to realise that I, with that darned "Honor" thing of mine, have been allowing myself to be taken advantage of in a dollars and cents way. I've put off....spell avoided....the finalization of the Retirement account and a certain amount of "makeup" money that's owed to me.....

Aww heck, I won't go into it any deeper....just suffice to say that I'm feeling a whole lot like the Kitteh in the picture........


Time to "Git 'er done.....
I am not one to be trifled with.......

Heh.......

I was waiting at the train station this morning, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off as a train approached.

So I ran over and said "Stop! Don't do it!" He said "Why shouldn't I?".

I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!" He said, "Like what?"

I said, "Well, are you religious or atheist?" He said, "Religious."

I said, "Me too! …Are you Christian or Buddhist?" He said, "Christian."

I said, "Me too! …Are you Catholic or Protestant?" He said, "Protestant."

I said, "Me too! …Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?" He said, "Baptist!"

I said, "Wow! Me too!…Are you Baptist church of God or Baptist church of the Lord?" He said, "Baptist church of God!"

I said, "Me too! Are you original Baptist church of God, or are you reformed Baptist church of God?" He said, "Reformed Baptist church of God!"

I said, "Me too! Are you reformed Baptist church of God, reformation of 1879, or reformed Baptist church of God, reformation of 1915?"

He said, "Reformed Baptist church of God, reformation of 1915!"

I said, "Die, heretic scum"…and pushed him off.

Wow....a picture of one of my Readers........

Not really.....I hope, otherwise, I'm moving to Brazil....


Nice shirt, huh?

This sound vaguely familiar?

"Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be nationalized, and the State will have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism."

[*Karl Marx*, *1867*, */Das Kapital/*, his doctrine of the theory of surplus value]

Yup.....kinda thought so, and as we know, Those that do not understand history are doomed to repeat it....or something like that.

From FOX News......

Remember the Hadron Collider?

Still worried that the Large Hadron Collider will create a black hole that will destroy the Earth when it's finally switched on this summer?

Um, well, you may have a point........

Three physicists have reexamined the math surrounding the creation of microscopic black holes in the Switzerland-based LHC, the world's largest particle collider, and determined that they won't simply evaporate in a millisecond as had previously been predicted.

Rather, Roberto Casadio of the University of Bologna in Italy and Sergio Fabi and Benjamin Harms of the University of Alabama say mini black holes could exist for much longer — perhaps even more than a second, a relative eternity in particle colliders, where most objects decay much faster.

Under such long-lived conditions, it becomes a race between how fast a black hole can decay — and how fast it can gobble up matter to grow bigger and prevent itself from decaying.

Casadio, Fabi and Harms think the black hole would lose out, and pass through the Earth or out of the atmosphere before it got to be a problem.

"We conclude that ... the growth of black holes to catastrophic size does not seem possible. Nonetheless, it remains true that the expected decay times are much longer (and possibly >> 1 second) than is typically predicted by other models," the three state in a brief paper posted at the scientific discussion Web site ArXiv.org.
FoxNews.com can think of a few other things that didn't seem possible once — the theory of continental drift, the fact that rocks fall from the sky, the notion that the Earth revolves around the sun, the idea that scientists could be horribly wrong.

We're also wondering how often the LHC might create individual black holes, since longer-lived ones have a greater chance of merging with each other, and, um, well, see ya.

If the worst comes to pass, and there's now a slightly greater chance that it might, at least it might explain why we've never heard from extraterrestrial civilizations: Maybe they built Large Hadron Colliders of their own.

Problem is....if it does go bad....who's gonna know?
At least we'll finally be done with Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, et al.....

There's always a silver lining.
