24th Oct 2011 Parts Of My Body Were Stolen ...

Open letter from Ms Peggy Legg

This is an explanation to those friends and family who have experienced mysterious switches of their body parts. This effect is especially noticeable in January.

You may have read of the the scare story about the man whose kidneys were stolen while he was passed out. Well, read on. While the kidney story was an urban myth, my story is true - it occurs to me practically every day.

My thighs were stolen from me during the night a few years ago. It was just that quick. I went to sleep in my body and woke up with someone else's thighs.

The new ones had the texture of cooked oatmeal. Who would have done such a cruel thing to legs that had been mine for years? Whose thighs were these and what happened to mine? I spent the entire summer looking for my thighs. Finally, hurt and angry, I resigned myself to living out my life in jeans and Sheer Energy pantyhose.

Then, just when my guard was down, the thieves struck again. My butt was next. I know it was the same gang, because they took pains to match my new rear end (although badly attached at least three inches lower than my original) to the thighs they stuck me with earlier. Now, my rear end complimented my legs, lump for lump. Frantic, I prayed that long skirts would stay in fashion.

It was two years ago when I realized my arms had been switched. One morning I was fixing my hair and I watched horrified but fascinated as the flesh of my upper arms swung to and fro with the motion of the hairbrush. This was really getting scary. My body was being replaced one section at a time. How clever and fiendish.

Age? Age had nothing to do with it. Age is supposed to reap, unnoticed, something like maturity. NO, I was being attacked repeatedly and without warning. In despair I gave up my T-shirts. What could they do to me next? My poor neck disappeared more quickly than the Thanksgiving turkey it now resembled. That's why I decided to tell my story. I can't take on the medical profession by myself.

Women of the world, wake up and smell the coffee. That really isn't plastic that those surgeons are using. You KNOW where they are getting those replacement part, don't you? The next time you suspect someone has had a face "lifted", look again. Was it lifted from you? I think I finally found my thighs ... and I hope Cindy Crawford paid a really good price for them!

This is not a hoax. This is happening to women in every town every night. 

WARN YOUR FRIENDS.

Your alarmed

Peggy Legg

24th Oct 2011 There's Life In Imperfection

I am writing this when the autumn is still slightly imperfect, which is to say, it hasn't got all the expected qualities of the season. Naturally, people are complaining. Humans are rational creatures, who has imposed a criteria on what is perfection, and the imperfection is considered a defect. This vision or conceptualisation is useful in technology, or perhaps also in the scope of moral and social relations. The perfection is the aspiration that all should function in the way considered correct. I am more of an advocate of imperfection; that things be always exactly as they should be could signify standing still, impoverishing, lacking stimulation and even downright boring. And I don't want a man who is perfect like a saint; that would be almost too scary. There are magnificent works that are imperfect like the Roman arches. Especially in work of art, the imperfection could be the essential value. Are the work of Picasso and Van Gogh perfect? Neither the faces painted by Picasso nor the country scenes by Van Gogh present characteristics required as faces and landscapes. It would hardly be interesting if all human bodies are absolutely perfect, or conversation with a group of friends are always the same and perfect ... Fortunately, for better or for worse, not all foresight or pre-calculation comply to previsions. We have to learn to accept that the weather forecast is not always correct, that sometimes we get a cool summer and the day you had planned for an outdoor picnic was cold and wet, because the climate is not the product of a computerized workshop. People the world over share a common streak, always complaining about the weather. Life is not a patented model, neither is the weather.

23rd Oct 2011 The Fun Of Language - Palindromes

Oct 23A

Palindromes are interesting because they read the same forwards and backwards. While phrases are common, complete sentences are rare. The first palindrome that I saw was: Madam, I'm Adam, then I saw the longer version: Madam, in Eden I'm Adam. Since then I found ten more of the best palindromes:

• Live not on evil
• Rise to vote, sir!
• Do geese see God?
• Lisa Bonet ate no basil
• Dennis and Edna sinned
• Murder for a jar of red rum
• A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!
• No, it never propagates if I set a gap or prevention
• Tim made us sign it 'Lover'-a revolting issue, dammit!
• Doc note: I dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness. I diet on cod.

If you know some more, do please add to it!

23rd Oct 2011 How Logical Is The English Language?

Oct 23

I think it's more than likely I post on this subject before, but to our friend Asbo Mick's 'Men's English vs. Women's English' I thought I would join in the fun and post this one on English by both men & women, especially those who are literally minded and interested on the intrigues of a language, this one about English.

How Logical is the English Language?

** The market garden was designed to produce produce.

** The city tip was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.

** In the boat, a row erupted amongst the oarsmen about how to row.

** The nurse wound the crepe bandage around the wound.

** Dessie decided to desert his dessert in the desert.

** Chloe was too close to the door to close it.

** When Ted saw the tear in the painting he shed a tear.

** How can I intimate my thoughts to my most intimate friend?

** She shed her shoes in the shed.

** In terms of weight lead is in the lead.

** Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.

** When the stars are out they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

** Why do our noses run but our feet smell?

** I did not object to the object.

** Freddie filled in his form by filling it out.

** Why do performers recite a play, yet play at a recital?

22nd Oct 2011 This Blog Is 'Of Author'

Oct 22A

In recent years, appearing an expression, though clear enough, yet for me rather strange not to say superfluous even absurd. In Spanish here 'de autor' which means 'of author', specially designed or originated by a creator therefore the author. I think it might have been born in gastronomy. There are now all sorts of products, daily practical stuff or simply a concept, or any design. The newest is a variety of Cocktails 'of Autor', meaning a professional,, or just somebody, has put his name on the result of his imagination. These days a plate of scrambled eggs with a tiny bit of change to the everyday dish by some cook or chef is now labelled as 'of Author'.

Not that I don't appreciate the value of culinary innovation, or improvement of any kind; nothing in the world is canonized forever. But the fact is that breaking the tradition or custom with changes doesn't necessarily, nor automatically, mean the end product is better, improved or more attractive.

Some Cocktails are perfectly designed like the Dry Martini or the Rusty Nail. There are other great Cocktails ingeniously invented in the history, each with it's ingredients, the most decisive part, and the precise balance of proportion, aroma and temperature.

As in good culinary preparation, the correct balance of components is basic but the most important. After all, a Cocktail is a combination of tastes and aroma, so is that of a gourmet dish. Invention in itself is not a merit by definition, what counts is the result.

Besides, if 'de autor' boosts vanity, we are all authors, because the word 'author' only means a person who has done a certain thing. Now, all of a sudden, I feel rather proud and satisfied, that regardless whether people think this article I am writing is good, bad, regular, so-so, terrible ... I write articles and Blogs 'of author'!

20th Oct 2011 News Tip-Bits This Week

** West Side Story ~

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the very popular film that has become the all time classic musical, a live performance was played out in the street in Madrid on Tuesday night, with 20 excellent dancers/singers reproducing the memorable scenes of the film. It was recorded and emitted live on the MGM paid channel, but the lucky thousands of people were able to watch right there in the street.

** Tourists And Thieves ~

One of the principal and most prestigious British newspapers, 'The Times' dedicated an extensive article titled 'Paradise for tourists and thieves' to Spain, saying there's no control at all on the recurring thefts in Barcelona. Not only that a special site and been created for the British citizens who visit Spain, to warn them and advice them to denounce the crime: robbedinbarcelona.com

** The Softest Towels ~

The softest towels are those made of bamboo!! This fact is apparently known since ancient times in Asia. I have used, and still have some left, letter papers made of bamboo, green and showing the texture of the plant but pliable like fine paper and very pretty. I certainly have never known that it makes the softest towels!

22nd Oct 2011 Good Things, Bad Things, & Tears Of Comfort

Bad things, however irrelevant, reach the masses through press, other media, even television. Very few good deeds, selfless actions done by ordinary people in the streets or anywhere, draw little or no attention and rarely, if ever, get mentioned let alone acknowledgement or just thanks.

One short open letter in the 'Readers' column of a local paper, did capture my attention. It was by a woman who stood during a bus ride, quietly crying (for personal reasons she said) while trying hard not to show it. A young man, a total stranger to her, offered her his seat and lightly padded her shoulder but without saying a word. When he got to his stop first, he bent down to whisper in her ear: 'Whatever had upset you so much, I sincerely hope there will be a prompt and good solution.' before he alighted the bus.

 

No huge sacrifice or heroic action; just a few kind words. And that alone had made her long held up tears finally dropped, but they were tears of comfort, she said, being shown such kindness from a total stranger.

I always feel good, gratified, when I read, see or hear some small acts, words or just silent gestures of kindness or compassion, being acknowledged & thanked by the so helped, benefited or as in this cased, comforted. I too therefore, feel comforted.

19th Oct 2011 All About People In The Dog House

Oct 19

Some stories in life seem very strange but are true nevertheless.

Pole in the Dog House ~

In January, Zdzislaw Bukarowcz, a seventy-five year old Polish man from Scinawa, lived in a dog’s kennel for three weeks. It was all the work of his zona*, Mrs Bukarowcz, her reason for dishing out this punishment was because Zdzislaw repeatedly came home drunk.

She chained him to the kennel and fed him on dog food; Zdzislaw was given water from a dog bowl. At night the temperatures often dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius.

Pani* Bukarowcz told reporters that she was sick of him wasting all their money on vodka. His drinking companions, worried by his non-attendance in the pub, eventually freed him from his imprisonment and called the police.

* Zona is Polish for wife. Pani means Mrs.

Politician in the Doghouse ~

A would-be mayor in Bacau, eastern Romania is in the 'dog house' after turning packs of stray dogs into living billboards advertising his intention to stand in the mayoral election. Puzzled voters found their streets flooded with dogs; all wearing posters saying 'Vote for Radu Nicolau' on their backs.

The idea has angered local animal rights groups but the dogged Nicolau is unrepentant, and is quoted as saying, 'It's the best way to get my message across. I love dogs and they can spread the word about my campaign to lots of places quicker than me and my campaign team could.'
