Joe Biden Isn't Ruling Out 2020 Presidential Run

Baseball from a beginner

You know what I like about baseball? Maybe you don’t care... but I like baseball from the fact of the many different batters. You never know if they will get a hit or strike out. You keep trying to play their game, hah. Little things, like the fact of the two teams; and that keeps it interesting. 

I’ve new to baseball and have been analyzing the game in order to solidify my interest in the game, and its truely neat! Obviously there are different styles and strengths in each team. You can also learn standards. You can’t make first base without a good hit into the outfield.  And you can’t pop the ball into the air - too easy to see and catch - you’re out! And you get an out for your team’s chance at being up and getting points. 

Obvious little things like these make up the unwritten rules of baseball, an interesting American pastime.

Women’s intuition is such a blessing; Knowing when someone’s lying is incredible. Men think women don’t know when they’re full of shit and they think we believe them. Just keep giving us more reasons to laugh at your foolish asses. Idiots -____-

The work is a necessary and required repair that Oroville Dam needs due to the tremendous rains recently experienced. The bottom of the spillway needs this from the previously large water releases due to the recent rains.

You Can’t Go ‘Bloody Wrong’

December 11, 2013

Ever see that red stuff inside you? It’s more than likely, as a child you cut, scraped or viewed someone else’s blood, whether pouring out or just appearing at skin level. A definition of ”blood”:

“Blood is a connective tissue, with a fluid rather than a solid matrix. Blood functions mainly in transporting substances from one part of the body to another and in immunity. It is pushed and pulled through the body’s system of blood  vessels by the heart muscle. The average body has 4 -6 liters, 8% of body weight, of blood constituents called plasma, red and white blood cells, and platelets. Plasma makes just over half the volume of blood, which is 90% water and is the transport medium. In every cubic mm of the remaining ‘blood’ are 5 -6 million red blood cells, 5 - 10 thousand white blood cells and 250 - 400 thousand platelets. Red cells transport oxygen, white cells help defend the body.”

We don’t have to worry, that when cut it will not all ‘leak out’. The platelets and fibrinogen help to clot any ‘leaks’ when exposed to the air. Regarding ”types” of blood, there are 32 of those, with the major ones being ‘A, B, AB, and O’ with combining ‘+ ’ and ‘-’ of those. Which depends on heredity, from each parent.

Whatever the case, it’s something not thought about, and in doing so, we don’t think of the help and assistance we could do to those that need it.

Ever saved a life? In the US, someone needs blood every 2 seconds.

When you donate part of your blood, every part of that is used, and surgeons could not operate without blood. Platelets last only five days and are needed by trauma victims and chemotherapy/radiation patients. Plasma can be used immediately or frozen up to a year for use. Red blood cells last up to 42 days.

Every part of your donated blood is used, and everyone needing a surgeon’s services needs blood, every 2 seconds.

You can donate blood one time or regularly where there are parked and running ”Bloodmobiles”, or at business locations, ”Blood Source”. When you go to a ”BloodSource” to donate, you are signed in and complete a questionnaire regarding history; usually of diseases you’ve never heard of and aspirin taken in the last 48 hours. Then, you are escorted to a comfy chair upon you will wait while donating. There are recent movies available you can listen to on private earphones or your  radio. Or even do crosswords or read; but be aware of not moving the arm being used (don’t forget - saving lives!).

You might be put off by the machinery or tubing, but you only have to ask to get immediate attention. A warm blanket on your arm might distract continued glances or, if you feel cold, a blanket over the rest of you! The attendees are polite, attentive, and well-trained. Basically,  remember the movie is there.

Then, before you know it, your time is done, another number of lives saved, or helped from the ‘bother before surgery’. You are offered (the required) snacks and soda and asked to recoup oh, maybe 15 minutes, but you can take your time.

Those that donate blood can return in 8 weeks; plasma, 4 weeks and platelets every 2 weeks. Realize, however, those are minimums, you could be too busy or your health requires lengthier times. Donations are accepted by young (17+) and old (no limit), men and women. You are given your BP, amount of total donated and told, ”Yes, you do save lives”. Because you do. It’s no joke.

NSA? NSA!?

What 10,000 documents did Edward Snowden steal anyway?

Who gave a National Security Worker oversight of his own 10,000 private, classified NSA documents? What security measure?

What were these - stolen and private - documents anyway? Telephone records? He has 10,000 private telephone records?

The Russians have 10,000 stolen, private, American telephone records?

Who wants a Communist listening to his private phone calls?

What do you do? Complain about the theft.

Hearing Screening online

    Good luck in finding and online hearing test. I looked at six sites, four of which were hearing aid manufacturers, and none of the tests worked. Each one displayed the test, but none of them functioned. I had to go to an app to find an average test. Some of them didn’t work initially. Two of them were repetitions, so you could fail once, and pass the test by memory three times. 

    Other than going to an audiologist to get your hearing results, you cannot find an even average test, so here you go. Try listening to a rising in frequency tone and noting your ability as it rises. It differs with age and gender, but falls off slowly after 19, more as you get older. 

    I did find one that was fair, but that was for my specific system and app store. 

    One of the tests was for a voice, words,  in a louder and louder background. I though that was fair. You may be experiencing a verbal loss by not hearing parts of some words. My answer was  in Latin and recommendation to see a doctor. Of course, from a hearing aid company! I stuck to the app and hear just fine ... Thanks Tumblr.
