DENNY'S ONE CRAP RESTAURANT TO START WITH
HELLO SPEAKIES:
JUST READ A STORY ON YAHOO THAT THE MILLIONAIRE OWNER OF DENNY'S RESTAURANTS IN FLORIDA, GEORGIA AND VIRGINIA WANTS TO ADD A SURCHARGE TO YOUR BILL TO OFFSET THE PRESIDENT'S HEALTH CARE PLAN OR AS THIS BOZO CALLS IT OBAMACARE. LISTEN MR. BIG BUCKS YOUR RESTAURANT SUCKS TO BEGIN WITH AND YOU BETTER GET IN LINE BEHIND OLD MITT WHO MADE ALL THE REPUBLICANS LOOK LOOK LIKE NIMYOS. GET OVER IT AND SUCK IT UP.
I HAVE A DOCTOR WHO SAID IF OTHER PHYSICIANS ARE ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE MONEY, THEIR INTERESTS ARE NOT WITH THEIR PATIENTS TO BEGIN WITH. WHEN I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL A FEW WEEKS AGO, I HAD A DOCTOR WHO COVERED FOR MY REGULAR HOSPITAL DOCTOR OVER THE WEEKEND. I TOLD MY DOCTOR HOW HE CAME IN WITH A SMILE AND CONCERN OVER MY CASE. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT HE TREATS PATIENTS WHO HAVE NO INSURANCE AND THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS ASKED. HE FILLS IN ON WEEKENDS TO COVER A LITTLE OF HIS LOSS. NOW THERE IS A DOCTOR ONE CAN BE PROUD OF.
THIS IS MY OPINION LIKE IT OR NOT, SUCK IT UP.

FISHING IS BETTER THAN WORKING ANYTIME
HELLO GUYS AND DOLLS:
I WAS GLAD FINALLY TO VISIT MY SON, HIS WIFE AND MY TWO GREAT LITTLE GRANDCHILDREN ON SUNDAY. MY GRAND DAUGHTER IS GROWING UP TOO FAST BUT ONE LOVELY LITTLE LADY. WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT MY GRANDSON "ALL BOY", THAT IS THE ONLY ANSWER.
MY SON AND I WENT FISHING IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS ON THE COAST AND HERE IS A PICTURE OF MY 4 TO 5 POUND RED FISH. WHAT A FIGHT, MY SON HAD TO REEL IN THE FINAL FEW YARDS, WITH MY HEALTH I COULD NOT DO IT. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT MARLIN FISHING IS OUT OF MY MIND FOREVER.
TO HONOR FOOD TODAY IS CLEAN OUT THE FRIG. HOWEVER I MISSED "NATIONAL GUACAMOLE DAY." TO ME THAT WAS A CALIFORNIA SPECIALTY, HOWEVER I HAD IT A WORK A FEW TIMES AND LIKED IT. RECENTLY I'VE HAD IT WITH MEXICAN FOOD, ALL I CAN SAY IS "LOVE IT." DO ME A FAVOR IF YOU SPEAKIES HAVE NEVER GUACAMOLE TRY IT, PLEASE DO.
NOVEMBER IS "NATIONAL PEPPER MONTH." FOR US JERSEY GUYS THE ONLY PEPPERS I GREW UP WITH WAS GREEN PEPPERS. NOW I LOVE ALL KINDS, SWEET, HOT, SUPER HOT AND GREEK PEPPERS. ENJOY TODAY.
HAVE A GREAT HUMP DAY AND I'LL SEE YOU SOON.

SURE HAD SOME FUN ON THURSDAY NIGHT
HELLO GUYS AND DOLLS:
AS MY REGULAR READERS KNOW, I RETIRED IN JULY OF THIS YEAR. I WORKED FOR REEDY CREEK IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AT WALT DISNEY WORLD. ONE CAN CHECK OUT REEDY CREEK ON THE INTERNET SO IT IS NOT A BIG SECRET. WE WERE THE GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHED BY WALT TO EASE TAX BURDENS ON THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS BEFORE DISNEY WORLD OPENED. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED CHECK IT THE INFORMATION ON THE NET.
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
THEY SERVED BLUE MARTINI'S IN LIGHTED GLASSES TO KEEP, BEER, SODA AND WINE ALL NIGHT LONG. ROE LOVED THE GLASSES SO I THINK WE BROUGHT HOME AROUND 7. I HAD MY MARTINI'S FOR THE YEAR.
WE ENJOYED THE RIDES, STAR TOURS, IN FACT WE WERE THE ONLY ONES ON THE FIRST RIDE AND ENJOYED A SECOND ONE. TOY STORY SHOOTING GALLERY RIDE AND THE FIRE WORKS AT THE END WAS SPECTACULAR. WE ENJOYED THE OSBORNE FAMILY LIGHTS WHICH LIT UP THE PARK. FINALLY WE HAD TO CALL IT A NIGHT AND BELIEVE ME OLD JOEY Z AND ROE SLEPT LIKE BABIES IN A CRIB. A GREAT PLACE TO WORK FOR AND THE BEST JOB I EVER HAD WAS WITH REEDY CREEK. MISS ALL THOSE PEOPLE BUT NEVER THE JOB NOW THAT I'M RETIRED.

THE CARE OF THE DOCTORS AND NURSES WERE OUT OF THIS WORLD, A PLUS, PLUS TO THEM. FOOD SOME GOOD, SOME BAD, SOME COLD AND THEY NEED TO CHANGE THE MENU ONCE IN A WHILE. TV BAD, F GRADE. TEN KID'S CARTOON NETWORKS AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE HECK THOSE CHARACTERS WERE. NEWS STATIONS GALORE, RELIGIOUS STATIONS AND GOSPEL SINGING AT LEAST FIVE. THANK GOD FOR ESPN, THE FOOD CHANNEL AND TMC. PLEASE HOSPITALS CHANGE YOUR MENUS AND TV PROGRAMMING EVERY SO OFTEN.
I AM ALSO GLAD THE POLITICAL ADS ARE OVER, I WELCOME WITH OPEN HEART THE CHINESE GUY SELLING DIRECT APPLIANCES FOR THREE HOURS AT A TIME OR THOSE OTHER INFO COMMERCIALS. IT IS GOOD TO BE HOME WATCHING THE HISTORY CHANNEL OR A GOOD MOVIE ON THE CABLE NETWORKS AND EVEN STORAGE WARS AS A LAST RESORT. FREEDOM IS MINE TO CHOOSE.
THANKS FOR READING WHILE I WAS AWAY. MY SPEAKIES ARE THE BEST AND I APPRECIATE ALL THOSE WHO STOP BY. WITH THE HOLIDAYS APPROACHING, WRITING MAY BE A LITTLE SLOWER, BUT I WILL INJECT MY THOUGHTS AS USUAL TO GET YOUR SPIRITS MOVING. HAVE A GREAT DAY AND A WONDERFUL EVENING.

WELCOME TO NOVEMBER SPEAKIES
HELLO GUYS AND DOLLS:
WELCOME TO NOVEMBER THAT GREAT FALL MONTH THAT INCLUDES ONE OF THE GREATEST FEAST HOLIDAYS OF THE YEAR, YES THANKSGIVING. IT IS NOT ONLY A HOLIDAY TO ENJOY ALL THAT TURKEY AND FIXINGS BUT ALSO A DAY TO GIVE THANKS FOR OUR BLESSINGS
THE FLOWER OF THE MONTH IS THE CHRYSANTHEMUM OR AS I CALL THEM "MUMS." A VERY HEARTY PLANT AND FLOWER, IN FACT I HAVE TWO POTS OUTSIDE AND THEY BLOOM SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR DOWN HERE.
WE TAKE IN TWO RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS ON THIS FIRST DAY OF NOVEMBER, ALL SAINTS DAY WHICH IS PRIMARILY A CATHOLIC CELEBRATION HONORING THE DEPARTED SAINTS. IN MEXICO IT IS CALLED THE DAY OF THE DEAD OR AS IN SPANISH "DIA DE LOS MUERTOS" AND IT IS CELEBRATED NOT ONLY IN MEXICO BUT AROUND THE WORLD IN MANY CULTURES. THE HOLIDAY FOCUSES ON FAMILY GATHERINGS WHO PRAY FOR AND REMEMBER THEIR DECEASED RELATIVES AND FRIENDS AS WELL. IN MEXICO IT IS A NATIONAL HOLIDAY WITH MANY FESTIVITIES.
ON THIS FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER WE CELEBRATE "NATIONAL FAMILY WEEK." GOOD IDEA TO GET TOGETHER WITH YOUR FAMILIES AND HAVE SOME FUN AND THINK OF THE JOY OF THIS HOLIDAY.
FOOD TIME - FRIED CLAM DAY. I'M NOT BIG ON CLAMS, I LOVE CLAMS CASINO AND I HAVE TRIED FRESH CLAMS AND GAGGED BUT I WOULD BE WILLING TO TRY ONCE MORE. MAYBE I HAVE TO TRY THOSE FRIED CLAMS ON A GRILL WITH SOME HOT SAUCE. MY FAVORITE CLAMS WERE THOSE AT HOWARD JOHNSON'S RESTAURANT. WHEN WE STOPPED AT THEIR MOTEL AND THEY HAD A RESTAURANT THAT WAS MY MEAL, YUMMY.
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND WONDERFUL EVENING AND CHAT SOON.
WELCOME TO NOVEMBER THAT GREAT FALL MONTH THAT INCLUDES ONE OF THE GREATEST FEAST HOLIDAYS OF THE YEAR, YES THANKSGIVING. IT IS NOT ONLY A HOLIDAY TO ENJOY ALL THAT TURKEY AND FIXINGS BUT ALSO A DAY TO GIVE THANKS FOR OUR BLESSINGS
THE FLOWER OF THE MONTH IS THE CHRYSANTHEMUM OR AS I CALL THEM "MUMS." A VERY HEARTY PLANT AND FLOWER, IN FACT I HAVE TWO POTS OUTSIDE AND THEY BLOOM SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR DOWN HERE.
WE TAKE IN TWO RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS ON THIS FIRST DAY OF NOVEMBER, ALL SAINTS DAY WHICH IS PRIMARILY A CATHOLIC CELEBRATION HONORING THE DEPARTED SAINTS. IN MEXICO IT IS CALLED THE DAY OF THE DEAD OR AS IN SPANISH "DIA DE LOS MUERTOS" AND IT IS CELEBRATED NOT ONLY IN MEXICO BUT AROUND THE WORLD IN MANY CULTURES. THE HOLIDAY FOCUSES ON FAMILY GATHERINGS WHO PRAY FOR AND REMEMBER THEIR DECEASED RELATIVES AND FRIENDS AS WELL. IN MEXICO IT IS A NATIONAL HOLIDAY WITH MANY FESTIVITIES.
ON THIS FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER WE CELEBRATE "NATIONAL FAMILY WEEK." GOOD IDEA TO GET TOGETHER WITH YOUR FAMILIES AND HAVE SOME FUN AND THINK OF THE JOY OF THIS HOLIDAY.
FOOD TIME - FRIED CLAM DAY. I'M NOT BIG ON CLAMS, I LOVE CLAMS CASINO AND I HAVE TRIED FRESH CLAMS AND GAGGED BUT I WOULD BE WILLING TO TRY ONCE MORE. MAYBE I HAVE TO TRY THOSE FRIED CLAMS ON A GRILL WITH SOME HOT SAUCE. MY FAVORITE CLAMS WERE THOSE AT HOWARD JOHNSON'S RESTAURANT. WHEN WE STOPPED AT THEIR MOTEL AND THEY HAD A RESTAURANT THAT WAS MY MEAL, YUMMY.
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND WONDERFUL EVENING AND CHAT SOON.
