OLD GEEZER IS A SMALLER PERSON

Robert - September 2011

The first snap is of the old geezer in the back garden of house lived when first arrived in Reno.  Seem to recall that there was a gathering round the pool and there was a massive cook-up.  No doubt, one can clearly see that MOI did not miss out on the groceries.  Am the sort of person who gains weight just looking at a plate of food.  Mind, there is more than looking, was not shy about groceries.

For some strange reason, thought shaved head was a better look.  Truth be told, look like a bowling ball...



Robert - May 2012
The above snap shows the new and improved Robert...

Weight is down 2 stone and am dealing with life well.  At least MOI thinks so...

There are big changes in the wind for the old geezer and will share them with you shortly.  Just wanted to let folks see that the old geezer was not wasting away due to lack of taste...

MEMORIAL DAY 2012


Who we are, what we are, what we hope to be, is all owed to the few who gave their all to keep us free.  To allow this country to grow.

Their sacrifice allowed the country to 'be a more perfect union'.

The old geezer has mates who died in war.  Mostly from Vietnam.  They were so very young.  I will remember Dan and Ski this weekend.

EAU DE VOITURE


MOI will have to run out and purchase this as gift for 'Youngest Roomie'.

The vehicle might not be new but 'Youngest Roomie' can splash on the fragrance and re-visit the trip to the dealership that made his purchase so special... 

NEW CAR BLUES



One week out and me "Youngest Roomie" is thinking he did not get best deal from car dealership he purchased his vehicle from.  You think?  One would think the first clue was the car salesman telling that the vehicle was 'CAR OF THE YEAR' and 'There is but that one on the lost'.  Truth be told, they had me roomie by the shorts...

MOI thinks he should have gone down the road and visited the dealership that was selling AMERICAN....

CHASING RAINBOWS


Just a thought for a Friday in May...

THE OLD GEEZER IS ON THE MEND


Tuesday saw MOI return to ENT doctor for a follow up visit.  Doctor wanted to see if the ear was healing proper.  Using his tools of trade, the good doctor checked his handiwork and announced that he was pleased with the progress.

MOI is also right pleased.  Went on to tell the good doctor that all that could have been got from the operation seemed to be granted.  The infection was gone, as were the headaches.  Vertigo was less and the ringing in ears and swishing somewhat bearable.




When asked if the old geezer was going deaf, the good doctor reserved judgement.  Said he would answer that question in 6 months.  Actually, the old geezer already knows the answer.  Hearing device works less now than before the operation.  Hearing ability is way down.  Might not be totally deaf but it is not good.

The doctor told MOI that he is impressed with my lip-reading ability, and my ability to read faces.  Thinks I get on rather well.  As to what the future holds, who knows.  Bottom line is that the hearing is going.



MOI has to apologize the the lovely lady who does these cake creations.  They are real cakes and am told they are quite good.  MOI uses the pictures of to express a thought.

Groceries are still off.  Not much turned on to things that can not be tasted.  That explains the snap, food is not very appealing of late.

The good news is that in 6 weeks, the old geezer is down 2 stone in weight, that is 28 pounds.  This has to be the best diet ever tried.  Why eat rubbish if there is no enjoyment?




Just think, in no time, MOI will get to see his tackle.......

CHAT SHOW QUEEN MEET A REAL QUEEN


Ms Couric added: 'I’ve interviewed a lot of people … but interviewing royalty, you do get a bit nervous but they could not have been nicer.'

Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2148441/Katie-Couric-meets-Queen-Buckingham-Palace-garden-party.html#ixzz1vi70VOuL





What a load of rubbish.  To see adverts for chat show to be done on Diamon Jubilee, one would think that Katie Couric had received extra special 'meet and greet'.  She was but one of 8,000 people invited for tea with the Queen at Buck House.

Mind, there were times the old geezer caught a glimse of The Queen,  along with thousands of other, and never thought of it as special.  Right, so MOI never got to shake hands with.

What some will do for ratings. 

NO SLAVE TO FASHION


Never let it be said that 'Youngest Roomie' is a slave to fashion.  Recently, he returned from a road trip wearing a bright red t-shirt of the type featured in the snap.

This old geezer can be a bit behind the times.  Had no clue that 'Angry Birds' was a most popular Finnish Game to be played on applications.  Seems the birds seek out and launch attacks on pigs....

There is even an amusement park in Finland...

'Youngest Roomie' no doubt bought the t-shirt on sale.  He loves a bargain.  Was over the moon with t-shirt found, "All The Way With LBJ". Next year he will be able to snap up loads of OBAMA t-shirts...

IS BATMAN GAY?

BATMAN AND ROBIN

My dears, how silly is the question about Batman.  Does anyone truly care?

DC Comics tells that a character, thought to be straight, will be revealed as 'gay'.  Newspapers write articles about the coming 'outing'.  How silly.

Rather think that being 'gay' is the new flavour of the year.  What with the President of US coming out in favour of same sex marriage and all.

This old geezer believes that homosexuals will never be totally accepted until folks stop doing this sort of thing.  When it becomes so natural, that no one remarks on, then it will be of no great import anymore.  Sort of like, left handed people, bald men, women in pants, black president...

It is so boring, the amount of time spent of wondering about someone's sexual proclivity.  Do you really care if famous film star bats for the other team?  Sports hero is a switch hitter?  As for the banging on from famous folks about their 'marriage', children and courage at being so 'open',  "Shut Up" already...

As for Batman, he does look rather good in tights...

SUSAN GOOD IS BLOODY BRILLIANT

The old geezer first met Susan Good some 4 years ago.  At the time, the old geezer was trying to teach civic pride and moral responsibility to neighbours in a community, most folks in Fresno would rather not think about.  Along the way, Susan Good, taught this old geezer a bit about civic pride and moral responsibility.

At the time, Susan worked for a member of the  California Legislature, very busy woman she was.  That did not stop her from ringing up and asking if there was anything she could do to help in the fight against drugs and crime.

No dilettante is Susan Good.  She is passionate in her desire to make Fresno a better place to live and work, regardless of district lived in.  Susan took part in the block party held on Calaveras Street.  Susan also took time out of her very busy schedule, she was running for office, to come down and take part in March In Alley, to draw attention to the massive drug problem in the neighbourhood. 

Even after losing her bid for public office, Susan Good did not turn back on.  Coming down and visiting to chat more about what could be done to make life better for the poor of Fresno.  I will long remember Susan sitting on the curb, sipping a soft drink got from local cash and carry, taking in the American Flags hanging on Calaveras, greeting folks with kindness and just being a real person.

Susan is running for the same public office again.  She wants to be the person on council for District 4.  In a larger sense, Susan Good, wants to represent not just the folks in District 4, but ALL of the people of Fresno.  That is pretty special.

Having a choice of snaps to put up on blog, I went with the one from her advert for election campaign.  The sign says it all,  It is all good, with Susan Good.  Rather think the folks of District 4 could hardly do better.

Susan Good has a heart the size of Texas.  She really cares about Fresno.  She is passionate in her desire to make a difference.  This old geezer adores Susan Good and will forever remember her as one of the most memorable characters met in life.

ECLIPSE DAZZLES RENO

Youngest Roomie Viewing Eclipse
Sunday was the day that folks in Reno got to view a solar eclipse.

Alan took the old geezer to dine at local casino, the old geezer paid.  So excited was Alan to view the event that he made sure to take his 'eclipse viewer' with, so he could join folks in the car park.

Paul had received an invite to a 'eclipse' party.  Mind, that meant that Paul played chef and cooked up the burgers and hot dogs, whilst viewing the event through special telescopes, between a flip here and there of the meat.  Over the moon he was to see the solar flares.



Rumour has it that an absent roomie would view the event in Palms Springs.  Without the aide of viewing gear.  Wanted to add 'blind' to eye work done on face, no doubt...

Truth be told, the old geezer does not spend a great deal of time staring at the heavens.  Seen one eclipse, seen them all...
The old geezer has seen an eclipse before.  Truth be told, MOI does not spend a great deal of time staring up at the heavens...

MOI was not with Alan when he went to purchase his new vehicle.  Mind, that did not stop the old geezer from asking what went into purchase of.

Seems that CASH is not king when purchasing a new vehicle.  Even with cash in hand, the chaps at the local dealership were in no mood to cut a deal.  Fancy that.  Was of the opinion that such a big purchase would give some sort of special consideration to.  Perhaps, due to the cash purchase, the dealership was not happy as there was no loan to make extra off.

Right odd that a simple CASH transaction took over 4 hours to complete.  And the extras just kept being added on.

There was much mention by the dealership of the vehicle being 'CAR OF THE YEAR', sort of a catch phrase for, "We do not need to deal".  Truth be told, the Youngest Roomie had his heart set on this vehicle and regardless of price or lack of consideration, he felt it was the vehicle of his dreams.  What can you say to that?  He seemed right thrilled to drive it home.  Lithia Hyundai of Reno did not play any music to greet Alan.  You would think a few bars of "Hey, Big Spender" might be nice, but then again, they were not impressed with such a large cash purchase.

This old geezer is impressed with the rather racy style of the new vehicle.  Who would have thought.

Now, the old geezer has to think of ways to get invite for a trip in...

BELATED GONG FOR 'DAME EDITH'

'DAME EDITH' DRESSES FOR GONG

DATELINE - WAIKIKI

'Dame Edith' upon learning that she was to receive a gong for efforts to make Waikiki more beautiful, could not contain self in getting dressed up for gong ceremony.  One has to remember that the 'Dame' has a long and colourful history of getting into a frock and being 'on stage'.  Who else do you know who has shook hands with a Prime Minister of UK?  Mind, it was Harold Wilson, and one hardly remembers so far back in history...
'DAME EDITH'S' RUBBISH BIN

"Dame Edith" has most colourful rubbish collection bin in front of flat door.  Who else would have such a shocking colour to greet?
DO NOT MUCK ABOUT WITH THE DAME

The message is quite clear, if you toss rubbish without care, you will have hell to pay.  Think you can out run a hoover??
DAME'S PUSSY GETS INTO RUBBISH COLLECTION

The 'Dame' is mad for pussies.  Not a shock to find out that they take part in the collection of rubbish.
'DAME EDITH'S' GONG

Upon being awarded her gong, the 'Dame' was heard to exclaim;  "Rubbish has been my calling,  I Will forever think of 'trash' in a whole different light"....
RUBBISH POSING AS ART
As we leave "Dame Edith", we remember vividly the brightly illuminated rubbish bin in front of apartment complex.  The soft glow of the neon light showing the wet streaks in Dame's Make-up as she fondled her gong...

PASTA STIFFIE???


Dr. OZ is a telly chat show host who bangs on about diet.  Bit full of self if you ask this old geezer.

This snap seems to show the good Doctor getting very charged up over the aroma of pasta dist.   Can you imagine getting a stiffie over a bowl of food?

The old geezer loved his groceries, but never got a stiffie over any thing offered to eat, not even chocolate.

Mind, this story must be true as it is in The Daily Mail AND bears the Good Houskeeping Seal of Approval...

Who needs Viagra if you can pop a stiffie over pasta.....  What happens over meat balls???

OLD GEEZER HOLDS SMART DINNER PARTY



 MOI thought it was time to have a smart dinner party.  Having come to enjoy the company of Paul and Alan, it seemed like a clever bonding experience...

Gave plenty of notice to, and hoped that it would be an eventful evening...




With pot and kettle sorted out, all that was required was a trip  to market to get the fixing for meal planned.  One so much wanted to impress invited guests.



Being the world traveller, the old geezer thought to serve up clever finger food.  SPAM, sliced and diced up on crackers.  There was also egg salad on crackers.  Dressed up with olives.  Not one to spare expense, the old geezer had lovely Havarti cheese as well.  Quite grand.  So Continental...



The salad was a pure delight to the eye.  There were tomatoes, radishes and 3 different colours of bell peppers.  Tossed and allowing for guests to dress as they wished.



Main course was bangers and mash.   Yummy.  Very British.



Afters was a creation from heaven.  Would have wished for the above, since was really putting on the dog, but me guests had to settle for a Strawberry and Cream Cake.

The evening was ended with watching a British film.

What made the evening a huge hit was the very enjoyable company.  Sitting at table and making an event of the meal.  Without the telly or a mad dash to finish meal.

MOI sort of picked, but could see that Paul and Alan tucked into their meal with delight.  Lovely to see so much joy at eating.

NEW FRIEND FROM GLASGOW





Robert
I am a 32 year old Scottish, deaf, gay man.  I came across your blog some time back and find myself returning often to see what the bizarre nutter from across the pond is up to.  I find myself having a good laugh more oft than not and think of you as a nutter in the nicest of ways.  Having been deaf from birth, am sure that losing hearing after a lifetime of sound must be very hard to deal with.  I think you are dealing with it very well and hope that you continue to do so.  I admire your courage and positive attitude.  Feels a bit strange to be sending you a mushy fan letter but for some time have wanted to contact you and let you know that you have a friend in Glasgow.  Is it alright that I consider you a mate of mine?  Have you learned to sign? I am on skype and would be happy to chat with you, or teach you how to sign so that we could chat.  You have a very open and readable face and think it would be rather easy to teach you and have very interesting conversations.  Knowing that you like to get unusual bits in the post, have sent you this offering about Scottish Friendship, hope you get the meaning of without feeling put upon.  Have sent you an invite to skype with, when you get ear sorted out and want to spend time chatting again.  I feel a bit silly about writing but want to let you know I would like very much to get to know you better.  Another reason I took to your blog is that we share the same name, Robert, a good name to have in Scotland.



1. When you are sad – I will help you get pissed and plot revenge against the bastard who made you sad.
2. When you are blue — I’ll try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
3. When you smile — I know you’re thinking of something that I would probably want to be involved in.
4. When you are scared — I will take the piss out of you every chance I get until you’re NOT.
5. When you are worried — I will tell you stories about how much worse it could be until you STOP WHINING!
6. When you are confused — I will try to use only little words.
7. When you are sick – Stay the hell away from me until you are well again.
I don’t want whatever you have.
8. When you fall, I will laugh at you, you clumsy arse,
but I might help you up.
9. This is my oath…. I pledge it to the end. ‘Why?’ you may ask;
Because you are my friend.
Friendship is like pissing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the true warmth.


“Taking the piss” out of someone means teasing them.
Piss is important. When you hear the word a lot, you’re no longer in England; urine Scotland.


The old geezer is very touched by the email received from a reader.  One can never have too many friends and this chap sounds as if he might be brilliant to know.  Mind, the offer to learn how to sign is most generous and would come in handy down the road.  Never thought of using skype to sign but can see how it would work.

What the email proves is that me blog has opened up a huge world to.  There be some who think spending so much time on is a total waste and one never actually meets 'real' people.  What a load of tosh that is.

MORE 'SLURPEE' - LESS CALORIES


Nutritionist Neal Barnard said that while the smaller calorie count may have waistline-conscious diners excited, nothing has been added to the 45-year-old drink to make it any more substantial.

'Slurpee had zero nutritional value then, and has zero nutritional value now,' he told USA Today.

'Now it's just a different kind of junk food.'

CHICKEN DANCE CHAMPION RETURNS

"Youngest Roomie" Returns
There are times that the gods throw a real gem me way.  Today is 'National Dance Like a Chicken Day'.  What, you clever folks have never heard of this holiday?  Might well be due to where you hail from.  Alan comes from Chicago.  The home of 'dead voters', Oprah's Diet Farm and the all time champions of Chicken Dancing.

Gentlemen of the orchestra, a little Chicken Dance music...


How funny is that?

Alan has been busy sorting out things to be able to return to lovely Reno.  Been gone for two months.  During which, the old geezer has kept him aware of what is happening in the place he will be calling home.

The old geezer is quite fond of Alan.  Sort of grows on you, like a fungus in the shower, Alan does.  His dry wit is so very British and one waits with bated breath to hear what gems he will post on me blog.

Mind, Alan is one of the gems in life one would have missed if one were to be closed minded to.  One has to draw out Alan.  It is well worth the effort.  Rather think that the old geezer will be keeping Alan in loop for long time to come.  Alan makes me laugh and think.  How special is that?

Rather think we need a little more music...

FROCK SHOCK IN NYC


The snap is of Marc Jacobs, an American fashion designer, who was listed as one of the 100 most influential men in America by Time magazine and 12th on the list of 50 most powerful gay men in America by OUT magazine.  Fancy that...

Must explain how a chap could show up at charity event in a frock and get away with it.  Do you think the old geezer could do such a thing?

The frock is see-through.  Thank heavens that Marc had the good sense to wear boxers with.  Less than that would have been too much to take in.

This old geezer is much taken with the footwear.  What large buckles, that seem to sparkle ever so brightly.  Wonder if they transport Marc somewhere magically if he clicks the heels three times.

Will the Duchess of Cambridge order up one of these daring frocks???



HAPPY MUM DAY


Mummy never wanted folks to know she had any children.
 Mummy told true, she had been round the block more than once...
No doubt if Mummy had  old geezer, she might well have had this conversation with.  Mind, she was only 50% right...

The lovely folks who had a brilliant mum, congrats, you got lucky.  Truth be told, so did the old geezer, better to not have had, than to have had a horrid creature to live with.

Took MOI ages to see the humour of the situation...

'ENGLISH JOKE' FOR MUM DAY?



The old geezer received this under the heading of "English Jokes".  With MUM Day being tomorrow, one wonders what this chap will give his mum...

Dame Edith is the sender, the very same who will be celebrating a birthday on 29th of this month.  One wonder what broom will be used to sweep into the gathering?  Or will it be a Hoover???

Am working feverishly to come up with something deliciously wicked to honour the big event...

'ROCKY' IN TIGHTS AND CODPIECE???



The hilarious doppelganger was spotted by Harvard student Anthony Zonfrell, 20, who was on holiday in Italy with his family.

Truth be told, Sylvester Stallone sort of grows on you.  The thought of 'Rocky' in tights with a 'codpiece' is too funny for words.  Right, so my 'gay' humour is showing...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOUR MAJESTY




DIAMOND JUBILEE - QUEEN ELIZABETH II



GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

ANCIENT 'GAY' VALUED MEMBER OF SOCIETY


The ‘gay caveman’ was buried with household jugs, and no weapons.

Archaeologists do not think it was a mistake or coincidence given the importance attached to funerals during the period, known as the Corded Ware era because of the pottery it produced.

From history and ethnology, we know that people from this period took funeral rites very seriously so it is highly unlikely that this positioning was a mistake,’ said lead researcher Kamila Remisova Vesinova.

It would seem that being 'gay' and accepted as valued member of community is not so new.  Mind, the old geezer always knew he was 'special' and did not need President of US to give his approval of.  What a load of rubbish for members of lavender elite to suggest that comments of president will help some poor young gay see self as having value.  Should think having the chaps on playground treat with civility would mean more...

HEDONIC HUNGER - FANCY THAT...

Obese Robert in Hawaii - 2009

DATELINE - NAPLES

The University at Naples has released the results of a study on why we eat, even when not hungry.

They call it 'Hedonic Hunger'.  Eating for pleasure, to enjoy the taste.  Fancy that...

Who funds these reports?  Does not take a rocket scientist to know why folks will always find room for that cake, or ice cream, or choco.

After all of these years, big as public transport, do you not think MOI had a clue as to why the lovely treats found way to cake hole?

This report follows on the heels of another that finds that over 40% of Americans will be 'obese' in some 20 years.

There be some who feel that the old geezer bangs on too much about weight.  Bloody hell, one is constantly reminded of just how about being FAT.  The diet industry works in over drive to remind us.

MOI used to call self 'overweight', OBESE more like. Found clever ways to adjust the weight. Went so far as to lie about weight on ID card.  Told was only 200 pounds, when the weight was well over 300...

With the new found dislike for groceries, the pounds are dropping off.  Will know just how much when a trip to scales is made on the 22nd of May, the day before returning to see doctor.

What can be revealed is that taste is still gone, and MOI is eating to live, not living to eat.  Odd that, as when younger, that is what was done, weight was no problem and remember weighing 170 on 40th birthday.  Was 144 pounds at university.  That was before I fell in love with FAT.

Took a BMI test and saw that if weight gets down to 180, MOI is still considered 'overweight'.  How funny, but will be most pleased if that is the case.


MOI keeps thinking of the poor chap in UK.  58 stone he is.  Do you not think that some of the food pictured with him, is the constant wanting to pleasure self? What you see in the snap is but part of the groceries he piles away.  Truth be told, many of items featured were pure delight to the old geezer as well.  Now, there is no desire to eat.  One hopes to never taste crips again...

The $1,000 ice cream sundae made with 23-carat gold and the world's rarest chocolate


Drizzled with the world's most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porcelana, and topped with chunks of rarest Venezuelan Chuao chocolate, it is no wonder that Executive Chef Joe Calderone calls it 'iconic'.

How lucky the old geezer be that the price is so dear for this treat...
