If you think Veterans get free medical from the V.A., you’re wrong…. I spent over six hours at the V.A. yesterday and saw only two real doctors…. One for about five minutes and the other for 10 minutes…. You don’t pay in money, although, depending on your income, you do have a low co-payment, but […]
By David Ruppe N E W Y O R K, May 1, 2001 In the early 1960s, America’s top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible […]
Yeah, I know, everyone, including myself, thought I was going in for a thyroid surgery and a nice overnight stay with room service and some good drugs…… As it turned out the surgery ended up being the least of my worries…. After the recovery room, I ended up in my room for the night….. My […]
MR is doing fine. The surgeon told us that they were able to save both of his parathyroid glands. (The ones that regulate calcium.) They also got all of nodule/potential tumor out–along with the entire thyroid. Fortunately it appears the nerve to his vocal chords is fully operational, meaning that he is able to talk/complain. […]
Fed kills a key inflation gauge Friday, March 31, 2006 The Fed wants you to think it’s fighting inflation. So why did it kill an important measure of the money-supply boom that feeds rising prices? The U.S. Federal Reserve made big news at the end of March. And almost nobody noticed. Here’s the headline you […]
I hope not!…… Well, the surgery has been rescheduled for this Friday the 31st……. I won’t know the exact time until the day before…… Surely, this thing will come down this time and I can put it behind me….. So-o-o, I leave the Blog in Community hands…… Use and Abuse to your heart’s desire……. So […]
About three weeks ago, I met with the surgeons at the V.A. and was officially set-up for Thyroid surgery on the 24th of March….. Everyday since then, I’ve awoke with knots in the stomach, nervousness, sleeplessness, and headaches just thinking of all the possible outcomes of the surgery, but, there was one scenario that had […]
Just ran across this tidbit of info. Me thinks we’re all bozos on this bus. Either that or have entered the Twilight Zone? Anyone believe in fate? Superstitions? Occult? Black Magic? Abra Cadabra? I Dream of Jeannie? Supernatural? The Holocaust? Do you believe in Magic? Lovin’ Spoonful? I could go on, but I’ll spare you […]
As all of you know our esteemed Administrator and Friend Midnight Rambler is scheduled for a Medical procedure this Friday the 24th. I hope all of you join with me in wishing MR a speedy full recovery. I spoke with him this evening and was not feeling well, I hope that they can fix whatever […]
With the first game starting in about an hour, has everybody filled out their bracket? As far as local interest goes, I have OU making it to the second round, Washington making it to the round of 16, and Texas beating Kansas in the semi-final game. UConn takes it all (not really out on a […]
Happy birthday MRC! It’s been one full year since the first post here at MRambler Central–and a good year at that. You had a shaky start but have settled in nicely as a spot to see and debate different views and share experiences with fellow members. Time for the sing-along: You say it’s your birthday […]
This is a reprint of a commentary in the Oklahoma Gazette Feb. 8. 2006 I thought it was Bloody Hilarious! There’s no history like no history By William W. Savage Jr. It’s much ado about nothing, this flap over Senate Bill 982 and whether its passage last year by our state Legislature really means kids […]
We have this white stuff all over the ground here in Oklahoma, I’m scared what is it?
What, no comments (other than Anon’s) on the new blog header?…… It took a lot of work to make a decent looking community out of this bunch of registered posters (that includes yours truly)……. I am open for comments, suggestions, hate mail, etc……. The more posts you made (not comments) determined how close you were […]
I found this cool t-shirt in Santa Fe last week. I’m not an Apache, but a card-carrying Choctaw. Still, I sort of identify with these four “dudes”. My people signed the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek and shuffled off to OK. I guess Mississippi wasn’t worth fighting for. And as for the date, Columbus wasn’t […]
