Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary – Today’s Word: Obliviousy

Sure, we often find ourselves in a situation where we’re unaware of something; being oblivious to things around us. Sometimes, we know we’re supposed to looking for something right in front of our face. In other instances, we ‘re unaware that we’re being unaware of something,

If only there existed a word to describe this scenario. There is, it’s:

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary – Today’s Word: Hopolodo

Sometimes a word is so useful and necessary that it has been crying in the ether to be coined. Once used, we all wonder, “It’s so obvious now. How do we ever get along without that word?”

In today’s blog, we celebrate such an occurrence.

We’ve all found change on the ground. Lucky for us! But not so fortunate for the person who lost the money. We’ve been that person as well. Maybe we lost a dollar. Maybe we lost it in the 60s when we could have purchased a simple board game or even 20 packs of Topps(tm) baseball cards. Most often we lost this change through a hole in our pocket.

This financial loss leads us to

Misheard Bible Verse

That is, if it’s heard correctly during the chuch readings.

Am I the only one, who when little, misheard “peace on” during a Christmas service to be “peas on?” This changed the meaning of the following verse and made the mysteries of the faith even more mysterious.

Here is the real verse:

“Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”

Luke 2:14

And here is what I heard.

Misheard Bible verse #1

It All Became Clear

It was the least of times. It was the worst of times. I struggled all morning to gather all the information to complete my taxes. Did you know that passwords exist for the sole purpose of excluding only the people who have a legitimate purpose of visiting an important website.

Then things got worse. I had to dredge the hard-won numbers off the internet. I spent maybe four hours to get documents printed. Did you know that your printer, on its own device, can switch your default page size to something that the printer can’t print? Mine did. But it did print reams of unwanted pages. Why, the blazes, do printers always insist on trying print the entire 37-page document? Why do they make it so difficult to stop the print job? Suffice it to say the air around me became hazy with legions of cuss words overlapping each other. What was the source of all this evil?

And then Occam’s razor came to mind. The simplest solution is the correct one. And here it is.

The Great Latch Hook Project – Part 5

Yesterday was a horrible day as I hurt so much and couldn’t do anything. I am happy to say that I was able to take up latch hooking again today. I am about 42% done and am doing about 1.5 squares a minute. I am up to Charlie Brown’s belly button.

Here’s what it looks life:

What I’m Giving Up For Lent

Giving this up for Lent

We’re encouraged to give up something for Lent. Doing so makes us a better person. So okay, I’ll forego something as well.

Sigh.

Okay, here’s my sacrifice.

I’m giving up lutefisk and mushrooms for the Lenten season.

What’s that you say? That must be hard.

It is, but I’m blessed with an iron will. Once I’ve gotten the Lenten bit between my teeth,  I keep going with my no lutefisk and no mushrooms vow until the start of next year’s Lent. Whereupon, I make a similar resolution. My resolve is in indeed unshakable. Happy Lent, everyone.

Awesome New Card Game: Super Critters

Many of us have played Pokemon(tm). It’s a great, long-lived game. But none of its characters or super heroes are realistic. Nor are its characters cuddly and adorable.

It’s time to change all that.

Welcome to the world of Paul’s Super Critters.

And now for the very first card, bound to be an instant collectors’ item.

MOUTHY HAMSTER

It’s cuddly. It’s adorable. It has a special power and skills to boot.

What I Did on Superbowl Sunday.

I had this for breakfast.

1) Woke up again, showered, and dressed. The streak continues.

2) Had cereal and sausage for breakfast. You know it’s only a matter of time before someone sells Sausage Cereal(tm). “With little sausage bits.”

3) Did lots of tax preparation. Such fun.

4) Made everyone one in Idaho a grilled-cheese sandwich. People liked them. They said the sandwiches were “yummy.”

5) Took a well deserved “book bath.” The book is The Rising Sun and is about Scotland’s disastrous attempt to colonize Panama in 1698.

6) Did lots and lots of latch hooking.

7) Said “You’re welcome” to Idahoans calling to say “thank you.”

8) I don’t have regular tv, so I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. Number Two Son provided a link to the game on my computer but I feared I would somehow bring down the global internet if I tried, so I didn’t.

9) Yahoo has something where you can click on something. If  you do, you see a little football and every 30 seconds or so, a short sentence appears and tells you what happened. The considerable charms on the Super Bowl were lost on me.

10) Time to watch another episode of “Medieval Legacy.” I rock.

Behave yourselves.

Blockbuster Blog: What I Did Today AND The Great Latch Hook Project

2/10/2024

1) I woke up, always a good thing.

2) I showered and dressed. Hygiene and appearance always matter.

3) Went to grocery store to get ingredients for French Dip Sandwiches and other special meals.

4) Spent time looking for everything.

5) Had to go back to the store. Wasn’t happy.

6) Drove back home.

7) Looked up my subsitutes for my  still missing ingredients.

8) Not happy. On the plus side, I had no time at all to rush out to street and foment revolution. So some good came out of it.

9) Fired up the slow cooker.

10) Worked on latch hook project. It was a struggle, because in my naievete, I had thought it would be fun to start in the middle. However, it became quite difficult to keep my place when my work from the bottom came close to my initial work in the middle.

11) This also kept me off the streets.

12) I had to take out 100-200 pieces of yarn that were wrong. Hint, don’t rely on the colors you see on the grid or mat. For the love of God, Montressor, don’t.

13) This kept me off the streets yet again.

14) Did more latch hooking.

15) Dinner should be ready in an hour.

16) I am declaring my day to be officially over.

17) The streets are safe from revolution

Behave yourselves.
