just in case you're like me. you saw the dance but did you hear the words?

this is a PSA from the Pea Blog to parents...

Jordy Nelson, the leading receiver in the NFL this season, got hit

on his left side...looks like an innocuous hit, right?

Problem is that Jordie is reported to have fractured ribs...

not broken...just fractured...

So what is the difference between a broken bone & a fractured bone?

https://www.verywell.com/whats-the-difference-between-a-fracture-and-a-break-1298211

to me they look like the same...

Check out the Packers game this coming weekend & lets see if Jordie plays.

And does Big Ben have a break, a fracture or a sprain?

and will he play next Sunday?

Football is not for every kid...

Nor is skiing for every adult...

Now this is really neat...

These two young guys, Pasek & Paul, from the Philly Suburbs win a Golden Globe tonight for best song...

From what I understand the Movie is a Musical. Not a fan of Musicals...'cause what do I know about Music...although I did grow up in a Home that had a piano.

Closing the loop on the Ohio Wedding

Did any of my brothers get an Irish Soda Bread this past Holiday Season?

I tried making some but forgot the caraway seeds. So I threw the whole batch in the trash!

Oh well...hopefully next year...

Some Political History and how things come back around again...along with some other things...

I will be wearing my hat for awhile...

Presidential Inaugurations...we have another one coming up in less than two weeks.

These are the ones I remember

JFK's 1960

LBJ's 1964

Richard Milhouse Nixon 1968

Gerald Ford is the only President of the USA that was not elected,

so there are no inaguration day photos.

Jimmy & Roslyn followed Gerald...1976/1980

Ronald & Nancy took over in Jan 1981

It was not until Jan 1989 when some photographer got the idea to take a photo of the crowd.

This was the George HW Bush inauguration

In 1992 Bill & Hillary arrived from Arkansas & proceeded to kick the elder Bushs' ass after he served  just one term cause, even though he won the war vs Iraq he did not dispose of Sadam & he also raised taxes after he pledged not to...

and Bill went on the Asenio Hall show & played the sax while wearing sunglasses...

So then we had the Bill & Hillary Inauguration in 1992...

Bill won two terms so the next inaugration was 2001

 George W & Laura...they also served two terms & turned the reins over to Barak & Michelle on

January 20, 2009...

now that inauguration was a really big deal...

The photographers had finally figured out the best angles...

and it had the most people ever!

So that brings us to The Donald & the Big question in the news is...

 what fashion icon will dress Melania?

will any of them be willing to play the game?

Question...what color will Melania wear on Inauguration Day?

Shit!

Another friggin' winter is upon us...

And I really enjoyed their show...

But I guess it's time to find another spouse to Flip...

Their show is Kaput! And they will not remain friends...

ENT Doc?

Never heard of an ENT Doc. My brother & sis-in-law spouted out in Harmony...

"Ear, Nose & Throat Doctor"! We Love them! Our kids...blah, blah, blah...

So I went to see the ENT Doc:

• He told me my ears are really close to my head. I told him my Mother used to scotch tape them to my head when I was an infant. I also told him that my cousin Tommy Shaeffer told me the same thing in 1962...
• The ENT Doc also told me I have Spider Veins on my nose...I told him it is part of my disguise. 
• He looked in my throat & commented that I had no tonsils...I told him that none of my 5 siblings have tonsils. Tonsil removal (whether needed or not) was a thing parents did in the 1950's to get rid of at least one kid for a few nights while the kid spent two nights in the Hospital. Cost the parents a pint of ice cream.

So, I'm not really sure why I had to go see the ENT Doc, other than I still follow orders & the VA ordered me to go see the ENT Doc.

Makes me think today, how come I did not get to see the Orthopedic Surgeon when I broke my ankle on the curb on D Street while playing box ball when I was 11?  I think I know...back then tonsils were covered under the Police & Fireman's Insurance Policy...broken bones were not...'just put ice on it'

Weighing in

Had to wait 40 minutes today for my Doc appointment...Trouble with some equipment I was told.

So I sat there & watched as the Nurses came out to call the next patient...there are a number of
specialists where the patients wait in one area.

From my vantage point I saw 7 different guys that the nurses made weigh in.

• All 7 took off their coats & handed them to the nurse
• Five of them took off the coat & their shoes
• Four of them took off the coat, the shoes & emptied their pockets
• Three of them took off the coat, shoes, emptied the pockets & handed the Nurse their Hat!

I do not want to imagine what the Docs & Nurses hear

& see behind those closed doors...
