Roy’s well-read. Violets are blue. Time Marches On. It’s Blog Post 96. Everyone loves rhymes… and poems. A new month means a new blog post. Thanks for all the messages of encouragement and support after Blog Post 95. Much appreciated.

Health Update

I’ve seen some more progress over the last month. I had a bit of a downturn due to a new medication in what my doctor called a ‘Herxheimer reaction’. I would have preferred more of a Mundheimer reaction. It’s just like a Herxheimer reaction except it feels good… really really good. In all seriousness, I seem to be on an upward trend. KOW! (Knock on Wood).

Sharing the Good Stuff

Netflix have been cracking down on password sharing. Who do they think they are? It’s not like they’re the streaming service offering The Mandalorian. In protest, I am sharing my Netflix password. My password is the same as your credit card number. Enter it here. NETFLIX Account.

Go Grogu Go

Season 3 of The Mandalorian dropped this month. My wife asked if I was going to watch it.

“Does a Rancor sh*t Gamorrean guts?

“I don’t know.”

“ExactaMando”

Novel Ideas

Progress continues. It’s a time consuming battle at times but with each page written, I get closer to The End. Here is a little glimpse of some of my recent work:

“It’s been a good week, my best week, ever maybe.”

“Wow. That’s great. I’m also glad you’re ok to continue with a flexible meal on Sundays.”

“Well, actually, I’m still looking at eliminating those. I’m planning to get hardcore.”

“I’m not going to make calorie counted bland meals.”

“No, no. I can cook.”

“I’m not eating chicken and broccoli for every meal. That’s a you-thing. Hell, I’d be drinking wine if I didn’t have the long drive home.”

“Ok fine. What if I made broccoli and chicken instead?”

Clear Skies

Balloons have taken over the news. There are so many balloon jokes trending right now. I’m not going to add to them. I took this photo of the sky over North America. No balloons.

Then I found this. Where it came from and its surveillance capabilities are unknown.

Balloons at the Potty

Hopefully, the whole balloon joke thing loses POPularity.

There’s been a lot of damage to the balloons they’ve found but with time, they’ll healium.

North Korea fired two missiles last month due to threats to their benevolent leader. A North Korean spokesperson stated that when they heard buffoons were getting shot down, they had to respond. They later learned that it was in fact balloons, not buffoons. North Korea are expected to fire more missiles this month.

In other news: There were rumors that Russia were behind all the balloon activity over North America. These rumors turned out to be false. It was just a bunch of hot error.

With balloons being shot down regularly, Carl Fredrickson’s house has unfortunately been grounded.

Five balloons were shot down last month. Nena encouraged North Americans not to panic stating, “There’s 94 more.” She was then asked if she had seen any balloons over Germany. She replied, “Nine.”

In other news, a nanny with an umbrella was shot in Montana.

I was very angry to hear that baboons were getting shot. Then I heard it was balloons, not baboons. I thought about the clowns, all the birthday parties, all those children. Yeah, I’m ok with that.

Did Pennywise not teach us about the dangers of balloons?

I don’t get ‘It’.

Words of Wisdom

1. Don’t overdo jokes. A joke can be funny but not if you just keep it going and going and going and going and going. You just shouldn’t overdo it. The joke won’t be as funny after a while. It’s funny the first time and when not overdone. You can’t just keep going with it over and over and over and over. Don’t overdo jokes.

2. Nursing Tip From the Bottom of My Chart: Choose your career wisely. Some careers are becoming obsolete. Truck driving, cashiers, nursing. What do you mean nursing? Nurse Droids… they’re coming.

In other news: The hiring of more nurses was approved by city council last week. Phew… all those out of work nurses just sitting on their couches at home looking for jobs are relieved.

3. Don’t overdo jokes.

Thanks for reading this month’s post which just keeps Marching and Marching and Marching and Marching on. It’s now time for the ending jokes done just right. Enjoy.

Here is a joke from the novel that I’ve been working on.

“Life opens up opportunities to you and you either take them or stay afraid.”

“Is that from The Secret?”

“No. Jim Carrey actually.”

“Alrighty then.”

____________________________________________________________________________

Speaking of overdoing jokes, I have improved on a joke from Blog Post 49. Here it is, done just right.

My sister in law asked on Facebook for recommendations. She wanted to know what people’s favorite cruise line was. As any good brother in law should do, I sprung into action to help.

My favorites Cruise lines are:

“I feel the need. The need for speed.”

“Show me the money!”

That’s it? That ended badly.

“Everything ends badly, otherwise it wouldn’t end.”
