THEY WANT YOUR BLOOD......
Bed bugs have an uncanny ability to return almost immediately after attempting to get rid of an infestation.
And the problem is getting worse. Statistics from London and the Midlands show that infestations have increased three-fold over the past decade.
Now genetic tests have revealed that a single undetected pregnant bed bug is all it takes to start an entire infestation.

SIDE BY SIDE DUMP
If you are planning to travel to Russia for the Winter Olympics in Sochi, you might want to add to your reading list in the loo. Come to think on, you best double your order of toilet paper.
Seems the folks who plan these things think a little bonding in the loo might be good for visitors. Side by side thrones, with a handy bin between. For the toilet paper??
JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE BEACH.....
THIS ONE IS FOR RON
I loathe cats......
May not snow in Honolulu, but it sure would be nice to chuck one of the evil cats out into the cold. Personally know just how it feels for a ball of fur to poop on shoes, bed, clothes. Mind, the nasty buggers are free with the pee as well.
Did I not tell that Ron has 7 pussies in his flat??? Talk about a hair ball...

THIS JUST IN....
Times are hard for an OAP in Hawaii. In a pilot programme, funded by the Waikiki Visitors Bureau, Ron has been hired to provide directions and safety tips to tourists. Ron was picked due to his rather colourful choice of work costume. "I picked orange as it made me look like a safety cone and less likely to be knocked down by traffic", the new hired is quoted as saying.
Word on the street is that Ron has become something of a tourist attraction. Mind, best wear your sun glasses...

POPE FRANCIS GETS BLOG
At a recent meeting with retired Pope Benedict, Pope Francis was given past copies of this blog to help him relax...
Benny, the former pope, reminded Frank that a little light reading makes the days of reading boring Latin easier to deal with. Frank promised to catch up on the blog...

LAURA TURNS 59
Laura reminded the old geezer that her birthday had not been remembered. OMG...
As you can see from the snap, there is still life left in the old girl. Sort of reminds me of a contestant on a most favourite programme of the birthday girl. "LET'S MAKE A DEAL'...
Without a doubt, Laura is one of the more colourful folks met in life. Laura has a huge heart as well. Always trying to make folks feel good.
Many happy returns. I just love what you have done with your hair...
Homeless veteran USAF colonel now lives in his car because he can't find a job
A U.S. veteran who has experienced combat all over the world and was once a special aide to military top brass has been reduced to living in his van as he can't find a job. But it's not for a lack of trying.
Homeless Robert Freniere, 59, told his story to Philly.com, and explained how he has been rejected for dozens of jobs he has applied for from public libraries, despite having excellent references and three graduate degrees.
When people ask why don't you get a job as a janitor, Freniere replies: 'Well, I've tried that.' He lives out of his blue minivan in King Of Prussia, Pennsylvania.

I always knew that my friend James, a retired Master Sgt., was not unique.
I wonder why folks can not feel for men such as these and realize that their plight is as sad as the vets who abuse drugs and alcohol and find themselves homeless. Why can we not find a better way of reaching out to all who are having problems?
Wonder if the non profits sleep well knowing that they short change the needs of many due to their not fitting the accepted image of 'homeless vet'.
RENT A SEAT CAFE
The only catch? You have to pay for your stay. The UK’s first pay-per-minute cafe Ziferblat, which means clock face in Russian, charges customers 3p for every minute they spend inside.
When guests arrive at the East London cafe they take a clock from the cupboard and keep it with them until they leave.
They then make their own coffee or prepare food – and sometimes even wash their own dishes.

Have a dear friend who sits in a cafe for hours on end each day. Drinks a massive amount of coffee and wanders the internet on his little machine. Sounds like just the sort of place for him...

WHEN 'HELL' FREEZES OVER
It had to happen...
This old geezer will never be able to use that phrase again...

TRUE FRIEND STABS YOU IN THE FRONT
MOI has always loathed folks who tell one story in front of a 'friend' and quite a different tale behind back. One never knows where they stand, and they seem offended when found out. Even this late in life, the old geezer makes mistakes in trusting some folks.
Friendship is not a life long love fest. Like anything of value, a friendship has times when it is tested. That is what makes it special.
How horrid it would be if one never voiced true feeling. Does not mean that the friend has to agree, but be civil enough to hear one out.
This old geezer does not always get his way. Truth be told, MOI can be quite stubborn at times. Just wish that true mates would understand that not liking something does not mean that it is a breaking point in a friendship.
Enough said...
PAUL WAS BRAIN DEAD
You, who are 'au fait' with this blog will remember Paul. Paul suffered a massive stroke some three years ago and was declared 'brain dead'. Recent articles in the newspapers about a 13 year old girl in California, who is also 'brain dead', made me think much about Paul.
It is very hard to be told that a person you care deeply about is gone. Made more hard when it seems as if they are still very much alive.
The good doctors in hospital sat me down and explained the condition that Paul was in. Were it not for the machines, the Paul I knew was gone. Paul was never going to come back. Paul had signed up for the organ donating programme and the doctors explained to me that there were folks in dire need of such organs.
Paul gave the gift of life to several people. A miracle.
The family of the 13 year old girl are hoping for a miracle. It may well be that they had received thier miracle, just not the miracle they were hoping for.
It is very hard to let go of someone we love. I know. I have had to do it twice. Call it God's plan. Do any of us really understand it?
The family of the little girl want her to be a part of thier lives for many more years to come. It is a great comfort to me to know that Paul lives on in the lives he saved. Paul will be remembered. Still very much a part of life. I wonder if the family of the little girl have the same options.
