For a long time, the FDA has wanted to ban Primatene mist because it uses chloroflourocarbons as a propellent.
They contend those little bottles are destroying the ozone layer.
I've read cows burping methane are destroying the ozone layer too. We still eat cows.
I went to Smith's Food King to by a Primatene Mist inhaler last night.
They told me it had been removed from the shelves.
During my next near fatal astma attack,
I must decide to die or lose everything I've got to medical professionals for what should be minor care. I don't know why professionals would put anybody in that position. I was able to purchase Primatene Tablets (which take longer to work), but I had to provide my drivers license which was keyed into Smiths database. Now my name exists on some lists that I don't want to be subscribed too.
According to what I've read, 3,000,000 people use Primatene to control their Asthma.
700,000 people use it because they have no health care. I would be one of those.
In effect, my last bottle of Albuterol, along with 5 antibiotics, and some steroids, cost me $700 with the doctor visit after all of the tests they seemed to need to confirm the obvious.
It was like a mechanic doing an alignment to fix a flat tire on an old car.
I suppose in a reach, the alignment could be the problem.
In the end, I called around. Primatene Mist is not banned yet.
Smith's Food King told me they had to remove it from the shelves.
Hopefully, the FDA will wait until another product hits the shelves before banning it.
For me, Primatene Mist is the only thing that controls my Asthma in Las Vegas.
Of course, I'm no doctor...I'm just a silly consumer who thinks Primatene helps.

You can easily find and order fake IDs on the internet.
So how do you detect them?
As a notary, you should be familiar with the most commonly used IDs. EG: Passports, State IDs.
But for out of state IDs, its advisable to call 800-USNotary.
The signature should be similar on the ID, document and notary journal.
Check for card wear, raised area around the photograph, smudges, erasures, styles of typewritten info.
If fraud is suspected and danger may be present, proceed with the notary, then call the police.

Its all lit up. If it wasn't for the lack of people, you wouldn't even know its shut down.
The Strip is always an interesting place to cruise on chilly nights.
It was in the 50's and people are wearing short sleeve shirts, even in convertables.

Yep...thats all I had. I wanted something to smooth out all the expresso I'd been drinking.
Becky had a Mom's Apple Pie drink. She sucked it on down.
I had two beers with Frank a while back too.

Ya know, I helped install their Race and Sports book!!! It seems like a million years ago.
And I told the Board of Directors, yoose guys, yoose doos what ever yoose wants...money aints no object.
I think Stardust was the home of Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, the guy the movie "Casino" was really about.
Ahhhh, I do I remember those days now.

Stardust is closing today at noon, to make way for the 4 billion dollar Echelon complex.
Wow...I did say that right!
It opened in 1958.

This really puts pressure on Phil Ruffin to finally make a decision about The Frontier.
With Echelon, Encore, Palazzo and The Trump Towers, The Frontier will look like a trailer park surrounded by luxury if something isn't done - And Circus Circus will probably have to go as well.

Jennifer,Becky,Renee,Jonathon,Dustin at the Green Valley Ranch.

Becky and Jim, gobbling around at the Green Valley Ranch.
One kid asked me what I was supposed to be.
I said, I'm a "Hekifino".
In this picture, is just my imagination or is my head HUGE!

Set your clocks back one hour.

Its a story about a guy who has a remote that lets him fast forward, reverse, play and pause any part of his life.
What a weird concept!
I want to write a book called OverWear
It's about a guy who, when he wears other peoples underwear, he becomes them.
The story line could go like:
- He puts on his wifes underwear and becomes her, then meets her secret lover. 
Then he takes off his wife's underwear while in bed, and becomes himself again.
- He tries on his bosses underwear, and gives himself a raise!
- He wears his wife's underwear, and goes to her gym!
Now there's an Adam Sandler movie for you!
This idea probably took as much thought as "Click".

Why don't cows shrink after it rains?
Why do cows have a hide?
To keep them from falling apart!
Why did the elephant paint her toe nails red?
So she could hide in a strawberry patch.
Why did the elephant hide in a tree?
She couldn't find a strawberry tree.
What's black and white and read all over?
A newspaper.
How many squirrels does it take to change a light bulb?
None. They keep playing with their nuts.
How many rabbits does it take to change a light bulb?
None. They're just too darned stupid.
Why did the deer cross the road?
To get hit by a car.

CBS NEWS
She says, fat people, per year, are using 1 billion more gallons of gas than 40 years ago.
Lets see now. 40 years ago, 1966...
How many people drove cars then?
Did we even have freeways?
The population went from 200 million in 1966 to 300 million in 2006.
Looking at this closer, a car weighs around 3,000 lbs.
The full tank alone weighs 160 lbs.
A spare tire (or over weight belly) must weigh around 20 lbs.
So, lets blame the driver. haha
And my truck gets 12 miles per gallon now.
That's what trucks in the 60's got.
But, lets not blame automotive technology.
Lets blame FAT PEOPLE! haha
See now, I might have said:
- Don't lose weight, your probably driving because your overweight.
- Don't keep a spare tire in the trunk.
- Drive on empty
- Remove the back seats
- Remove anything that might use excessive energy, like those 400 watt boom boxes.
- Remove the air conditioner.
- Never roll down your window while going down the freeway.
Why not say, lets all hate fat people, and while we're at it, hate driving our cars too.
What do you drive, Katie?

I don't know what you've been hearing, Robert.
GMa doesn't talk about you.
Joy talks about you. Becky and I talk to Joy based on what she tells us.
But we've barely seen you for almost two months now. You've been like a ghost.
We thought we were picking you up Sunday.
We even waited until 11pm for you to come over.
Tony said you let him in the apartment window sometime Sunday.
You should come over during your lunch break, and we'll fix you something really nice.
BTW-You can have my floor jack if you want it. Its seals are shot. It leaked bringing it home.
I don't know, maybe you can fix it. I bought another one.

Gotta a cold. Trying an OTC called "Airborne", highly recommended by GMa.
Talked to Ida this morning, she just got over her cold.
Jennifer had a cold last weekend.
Guess its going all around.

Becky and I went to Joes Crab Shack waiting for Paul and GMa to join us.
While waiting we ordered an appetizer (lobster and crab dip)...YUM.
45 minutes late, Paul, Gma, Renee and Jonathon joined us...but by then, I was semi-full (cuz I wolfed the dip).
Anyway, I ordered a Fishermans Platter, which I took home in a doggy box.
I told Sonny he could eat it when I got home. He left me $17 on my desk for it in the morning...wow.
The result of the night:
- I paid $60 for dinner, which is GREAT,
-We had a very nice time,
-Sonny ate my left overs and should catch my cold, oops.
On the way home
The Tennants squared up the rent, finally.
We stopped by GMas and ate a BDay cake. It had a headstone on it that read "Over the Hill. Too Old to Count".
While there, we talked a lot, and had quite a few laughs.
Another good day has gone by.

So has your bonnie Heather left or will she return?

In that little Mustang (or should I call it, the 97FM...I'll explain that later), it wouldn't much matter if I was going 180mph or 20mph. If I hit a telephone pole, I'd be in little bitty pieces either way.
I said 97FM instead of 97 Ford Mustang, BECAUSE, buzz words are still everywhere. Sonny keeps talking about the EDR. A fight happened in the EDR. He hates the Frontiers EDR. Every time, I ask him, whats the EDR again? He says
"The Employee Dining Room, or cafeteria". And what is it, a 45 is a pair of pliers...
LOL

I left home at 11:30 today, went up I515 through the spaghetti bowl to Summerlin Pkwy, to I215, then to Red Rock Casino on Charleston Blvd, to meet Paul to get GMas extra car keys. Then, I drove  to Decatur and Charleston to give GMa those car keys. Then I picked up Jennifer and Renee at Petsmart and took them home. I got to the Albertsons store near Sam's Town at 12:40. That's 44 miles of driving in Vegas, with 3 stops in a little over an hour.
Not bad!!!

Mountains Hide - Just stay inside
Mountains Clear - Get out of here

Sunny Sky - Bare feet will fry

The doctor told Mr Carrot, he'll will be fine, but his wife, Mrs Carrot, will always be a vegetable.
The Lettuce family head was also involved, but he only required only a light dressing.

Relationships Chart

I believe people doom themselves once they start believing a magic pill, phrase, or symbolic action will fix all of their problems.
People get rich, in many ways, just by pure chance.
If a megabucks slot machine pays someone $3,000,000, it has paid out 1 million to 1 for the investment.
It would be ridiculous to write a book on "How to win at Megabucks".
I know at least three people who have lost fortunes chasing get-rich-quick schemes:
One friend with his ski-bike; my Dad and a friend with their options and futures trading.

I would hope that people achieve wealth by working hard and paying close attention to their business's details.
My Dad and my Uncle are a good example of how well people learn in this life.
The Polarity between these two is astounding.
My Dad played his get rich quick schemes throughout his lifetime.
Dad thought he cound find the secrets to long life, rapid wealth, and spiritual happiness.
He held disdain for the religious and the wealthy.
As a result, we grew up poor.
Dad's logic was flawed. He hated rich people while wanting to become one.
My Uncle got rich through hard work.
He went with the flow and learned from the wealthy.
As a result, his kids grew up and received the education they needed to succeed.
Stocks and Bonds do make money
Its what they net after inflation and expenses that count.
If there was an easy investment scheme that payed even 10% , the economy would buckle.
The rich would be doing it and this would be a country with no middle class.
Imagine, never doing anything more for the rest of your life, by using an investment scheme.
We hear from the winners in stocks while the losers remain quiet.
Why do people like Donald Trump keep building their wealth?
Because he enjoys it. I doubt that wealth cannot sustain itself without action.

Dad built himself a beautiful house.

Dad said he built it for us.
He left his life insurance to his wife. That was the right thing to do.
Dad burned us, though.
-Dad burned Sonny on the house that was paid off with an accident settlement.
The money should have been put in a trust, but instead, it paid off the shack we grew up in (with 5 acres of land).
He got Sonny to Quit Claim to him after Sonny turned 21. 
In effect, he used the money from Sonny's accident settlement to build the house above. 
Sonny felt he didn't deserve the house, may be, may be not, but it was rightfull his.
Dad took advantage of Sonny's feelings on this. He didn't even put Sonny's name on the new house as a coowner.
-Dad burned Linda with her newborn baby by kicking her out.
-Dad burned me by lying to me, threatening to sue me during the worst time in my life and talking behind my back.
I went on to ignore him for years.
Then he borrowed on it to build himself a ice cream shop in a failing mall.
When he lost his house and ice cream shop:
-He went on to live in his wife's son house.
-He went on to talk about his will which he never filed.
-He went on to talk about his big life insurance policy for Sonny, which he fumbled.
I realize none of the above sounds good...but good did come out of Dad
Dad gave me a goal. He was my mentor is a non-traditional way.
As a kid, I swore I would never pick up his bad traits.
I'm the only one to finish college, work my way up to having my own corporation.
I've had two houses for over 21 years.
I didn't get my inspiration from Dad. I got it from my Step-Dad who was a great guy.
My Step Dad and my Mom were my best friends in this life.
Dad was ripped off in life, I suppose.
He never quite made anything of himself.
I hope he gets a chance to do-it-all-over. Its possible, I suppose.

We tried to play frisbee golf at Freedom Park, but someone rented the public park again.
We couldn't even feed the ducks. So sad people can rent a park and charge admission.
Right now, we're cooking Stuffed peppers with a side of meatloaf...its a meat lover's night in!

Thats cool. So, he's a Tampan now?

Its depressing when you find your own father despised you.
All I tried to do was be his friend.
Dad and I talked a lot this last year.
He apologized for threatening to sue me.
He apologized for blaming me for losing the St Louis cross when my house got broken into and robbed.
I told him to forget about it, I realized he was just ranting.
He told me he thought he hadn't lived a good life. I told him I thought he had done just fine, that he had a good life.
However, his written words reach out beyond his grave.
Dad missed his calling to be a good parent.
He was never there for me.
We grew up poor, with an outhouse, and a pump well. We washed our clothes in #10 tubs.
Dad was a bricklayer, which should have been good money back then. Most Kentucky houses are brick.
But Dad was constantly sick, with his retina detaching, his arm going numb (he pulled a needle threw it).
He was a hypo-chondriac, which is why I still avoid doctors. I didn't want to be like that.
I was so depressed living in his house once Mom moved out, so at 14 (1970), I moved out to live with my Grandfather.
I moved in with my mom and my step-father from there.
I got Sonny into real estate when I was twenty one.
I'd put myself through college.
I offered Dad $40,000 to invest, and he turned me down.
I borrowed $2,000 and gave him back $2,500 in two months.
Nobody in the family, except for me, Aunt Tass or Uncle Art has done anything for him (to my knowledge).
About Mom and her estate:
Mom left me everything that was left over after her estate was close, that included this house's mortgage.
Basically, Kelly got $80k and I got $80k, but I had to pay the Probate lawyer $12k and take care of Mom's bills for 90 days. I also got this house free and clear, and thats where I really made out.
Dad thought I was a fool
He wanted me to give my inheritance to Kelly because she had kids. Kelly had already gotten half.
Dad thought I should invest in Vector Vest, a stock scam, instead of buying real estate in Las Vegas.
Mom didn't leave Sonny much, so I paid off the condo and put my name on it.
I also bought a house in Summerlin.
He was insensitive to my feelings
When I took out the St Louis Medallion (from a Safety Deposit Box), and my house got robbed, he threatened to sue me.
(never mind, that I left the house to wrap up an IRS audited which I beat, or that I just had major surgery with 3 bags hanging off of me, or that I was going through a divorce).
I suppose, in his mind, he damned me for moving in with Mom.
Now that I've read his letters, and will read more eventually, I finally know what he was saying about me.
He has told Tass, Sonny, and probably everyone else, what a terrible guy I am.
He dismissed these facts as being nothing to talk about:
I payed off the condo for Sonny.
I offered Dad $40k to play with.
I payed him the equivilent of 400%  interest on $2k he'd loaned me.
Meanwhile, in his letters, he's calling me the equivalant of an idiot because I bought real estate instead of running a program called Vector Vest, and investing in its stock picks.
All I can say is, fooey on Dad.
In Dad's words, and in his deeds, he did his best to turn people against me.
Dad did Sonny wrong
A settlement was awarded to Sonny. He suffered from damages in an auto accident while Grandfather was driving. 
Mom used the settlement to pay off the house on Hinkleville Road.
The house placed in Sonny's name. 
Which we grew up in that house.
After Sonny turned 21, Dad got Sonny to Quit Claim the house to him.
Dad sold that house and went on to build a 2 story house, and start an Ice Cream shop.
Dad lost everything. Sonny did not get his settlement money. 
All that talk about he was building the house for us, and what he was doing was just talk.
If there was an insurance settlement for my child,
and I used it to pay off my house, but had to put it in the childs name, I wouldn't hustle the child out of it when he turned 21. The money should have been put in a trust to begin with. I think I would have been grateful for all the years I lived there for free.
In short, Dad not leaving Sonny with a nickel was a total screw.
He left his insurance policys to his 90 year old wife. She'll leave it her 60 year old children.
Sonny didn't get the settlement, the house or anything...as promised. He did get a violin.
Judy mentioned that Dad raised him. What father demands payment from his child for raising him?
I don't understand these people.
Well, Sonny is my partner, and I have Becky by my side.
Whats mine is theirs.
Anyone else Dad spoke too about me doesn't concern me any more.

I think she meant cirrhosis, but I think he died from tuberculosis.

Someone mentioned the other day that he had been killed, so I looked it up.
According to Time Magazine, on 11/23/2006 the CIA Director said NOPE. Iraq's intelligience says NOPE. It was guessed he died in November 2001, from lung complications.
He's been reported as dead quite a few times over the last 5 years.
Most think he died in December 2001.
Check out: What Really Happened.com.
It looks like this site tries to decifer the truth from the news.
Good luck with that! lol

It was steak night at the price of $13.95, which is GREAT.
We ate (jumbo?) mussels, prime rib, large shrimp, seafood newburg, and more.
What can I say? It was delicious! I like South Coast.

Jennifer said that about Jonathon.
Looking confused, I asked her "Do you mean he we won't be receiving your Grand mom's help because he's getting a job, and he's not lying about getting a job?".
She said, "No, I don't know what that means. Ask Grandma.".
I asked her, "Does it mean he's receiving Christ's ghost or something religious like that?".
She said, "No, he's receiving information, I guess.".
I said, "So, he's receiving information about a job, and not lying to them?".
I know...I'm trying to make sense out of things that don't make sense.
A talent I have got to learned is how to look like I'm listening, when I'm not.

I looked everywhere on the internet and "he is receiving and not deceiving" doesn't mean squawt.
And that's all I wanted to know, was what does that expression mean.
Didn't mean no kind-a harm to no one. haha.
Its like the first time someone told me someone else was getting pickled.
When I asked them what that meant, they said, "getting drunk".
And that was basically a good enough definition.
Speaking about weird sayings...Jennifer asked us if Squirt was FIXED
I told her, if she meant did we destroy his ability to reproduce, no.

So, I need to sort these blog entries down by the server's date/time, instead of the requesters date/time....lol.

Its raining hard outside with thunder and lightning abound.
My thermometer says its 55 out there, but the weather reports say 50.
Its a hot cocoa day!

We went to the South Coast tonight. 
Somehow, its visible and looks huge, 5 miles away on the 215.
They have nine great restaurants!
Don Vito's is an Italian restaurant with classy cuisine.
The Big Sur Oyster Bar has a very long counter, where people can see their oysters being shucked.
All of their menu prices look well below market (typically $9 or less a plate).
The casino is brightly decorated.
I just love its golden hued themes. I noticed they have a lot of flat screen video poker machines.
A security guard told us South Coast just hosted the Jerry Lewis Telethon.
Check out the Equestrian Arena Calendar
It looks like they have horse shows and competitions in there Equestrian Arena all of the time.
Most of the activities are free, too. They just had a Nevada painted pony competition!
Today, they are having a Futurity Race.
That means the under 2 year old horses in the race were selected at birth for this event.
I was wondering why so many horse trailers were parked out front.
The security guard told us the equestrians are kept in a 5 story air conditioned barn!
Ya know, I've lived in Vegas since 1974
We eat someplace different every week. We cruise the strip and site see at least two times a week.
And I'll never see it all.

I spoke to Smith of Dempsy and Roberts (I think)....uh...anyway
Series LLCs are the best way to go.
- ABC Inc owns Be Quick Notary and Be Quick Software
-- Be Quick and Be Quick Software each have their own business licenses, EINs and checking accounts.
-- ABC is created using the Secretary of States website.
---- Check the box where it says Series LLC.
---- Add to the articles the following verbage: None of the assets or proceeds from multiple businesses will be co-mingled
These LLCs are desired and are very sellable and are even envied by other states.
Since Cutlar Enterprises is in default (again) and since it was audited once, I should just let it go.
Good thing: If Company A sues ABC and wins for $100,000, when they receive $5,000 of it, they have to pay taxes immediately for the entire $100,000. I can force an tax audit of them by filing a K1. Since the resulting tax audit would probably reveal that Company A didn't pay what could be $34,000 in taxes on the settlement, I have leverage to deal them down, after the courts settlement. They'd rather pay taxes on $5,000 than pay $34,000 taxes on $100,000.
Bad thing: ABC Inc, Be Quick Notary, and Be Quick Software can't give benefits to its employees.

(CBS) Not so long ago, Adam Gadahn was a Jewish-American boy, growing up on a goat farm in Orange County, California. Now he's been charged with treason against the United States -- "perhaps the most serious offense for which any person can be tried under our Constitution," according to Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty.
Gadahn, aka Azzam al-Amriki or "Azzam the American," 28, is accused of deliberately making the choice to leave his country and join al Qaeda, providing "aid and comfort" to the country's most determined enemy.
In the videos, Gadahn gloated over attacks he threatened would be coming, promising "the streets of America shall run red with blood." He praised the 9/11 attacks as "the blessed raids on New York and Washington."
But Justice officials said a tape released on September 2nd of this year, in which Gadahn was actually introduced by al Qaeda's second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was "the last straw."
He sounds like a silly/confused Californian goat farmer's boy to me!
This makes me wonder now, about my treatment at the airports coming back from Erie.
At the airports coming back from Erie, PA, I was targeted for inspection, just me, not my brother.
Did I say something or (maybe) browse something on the internet that flagged me as a terrorist.
Security was supposedly looking for bottles of liquids in my luggage.
I asked "Is toothpaste allowed in my suitcase."
The security guard said, "Yes".
I said "Couldn't plastic explosives be disguised in a tube of toothpaste."
He told me "Not to say anything else, or he'd have to call the FBI, and they'd send me to jail".
Is freedom of speech not part of the Constitution now?
I must have missed that Amendment.
I was traveling with my brother, and security asked me which suitcases were mine so they could search them.
I pointed out a suitcase and a box. I made some comments about how silly the inspection rules were.
And, somehow, my new camera got smashed.
I'm as American as anyone can get.
I grew up in the USA. I know its history, and admire the constitution and love Justice, Freedom, and the American way of life
I think Freedom of speech should be a cherished part of the constitution. We must have lost that after the 9/11 attacks.
I'd just hate to see the day when the citizens of the United States become targets of their government for what they say.
I want to chant ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER FOR PRESIDENT!!!
This is what I'd rather be read in the papers (about terrorist and other evil people).
A British man pleaded guilty Thursday to conspiring to bomb high-profile targets in the United States.
including the International Monetary Fund headquarters in Washington and the New York Stock Exchange.
By JILL LAWLESS LONDON Oct 12, 2006 (AP)
"I plead guilty," Dhiran Barot, 32, said in a clear voice at Woolwich Crown Court in south London.
Other alleged targets in the plot, which was foiled by Barot's arrest in 2004, included the World Bank headquarters in Washington, the Citigroup building in New York and the Prudential building in Newark, N.J.
Prosecutor Edward Lawson said Barot planned "to carry out explosions at those premises with no warning. They were plainly designed to kill as may people as possible."

I was reading about emission controls systems in cars, specifically, because I still have a problem with my check engine light. While browsing the net, I found out some interesting things about ozone.
High levels of ozone create eye, throat and lung irratiation.
Does that sound familiar? We experienced and talked about that when we came back to Vegas?
My asthma is flairing up again. I went to http://www.accessclarkcounty.com/Air_Quality/full_forecast.htm
to check out Las Vegas's air advisories. On http://www.ccairquality.org/output/chart.html, I noticed that in areas that were highest in carbon monoxide readings, didn't measure the important things, like Ozone (specifically, E Sahara and S Las Vegas Blvd). It basically says everything is fine. I'd have to disagree though.
I don't need their chart to tell me something is in the air this morning.
I can sense it. For one, outside the air is hazy and the mountains aren't visible.
But to read articles from different news sources, it sounds like the air quality here is excellent.
So, I have to wonder what is going on.
Note: I was in the convertible yesterday with the top down for almost 7 hours.

So, we'll probably have to go through eviction procedures Thursday if they don't contact us.
hmmm...I've been on the road all day since 10am (with exception of 1.5 hours). Sheesh.
