POTUS' Hydroxychloroquine 'Voodoo' Doctor may be on to something.

Not about hydroxychloroquine although some covid patients may benefit. I'm referring to her theory that nightmares cause women to develop uterine diseases.

I believe she's on to something because recently it occurred to me that nightmares may be a means of communication between the body, the subconscious, and the conscious mind. So, it's not that nightmares cause cause bodily problems; it's that bodily problems elicit nightmares or freaky dreams.

My personal anecdote is this: at times in the past when I've drank too many beers too close to bedtime, I've wet my bed. This has led my subconscious to try to wake me up before any more 'accidents.' On several occasions, I've dreamt that I was prevented from urinating at public or other bathrooms. I would dream that if I used a urinal, for example, that the urinal was constructed in such a way that the urine would spray back at me no matter how carefully I aimed. Other similar scenarios played out in my dreams for several nights. The dreams stopped when I learned to wake myself up to go the bathroom. (I wasn't about to stop drinking).

Why couldn't dreams or nightmares be the subconscious' way of communicating with us when problems arise either in our lives or in our bodies. Are dreams of falling just the subconscious' way of telling us that we are too near the edge of the bed and may fall? Are dreams of not studying for an exam just the brain telling us that it knows we failed to complete something we had wanted to do?

Media Notes

Kelly Ripa wore a great 'corona' blouse for the second time leading me to once again award her for exemplary use of the coronavirus motif in apparel. Gilchrist needs to stop wearing his wife's apparel--just saying.

Dr. Fauci is so beloved by the media that--for his baseball debut--they stopped showing his girly throw--effen embarrassing--and started just showing a still of his 'spit ball.' before Fauci's next act, I hear he's agreed to boot camp where he'll pick up some sorely needed 'gain of function' in his pitch. Dr. Fauci, sounds a lot like Dr. Faustus; but when will the media recognize the modern one for the tragic hero that he became?

I've been reading Bolton's book and I believe it's helping with my insomnia--so, $18 well-spent at BJ's.

New Jersey's Department of Personnel

I'm 57 years old. That alone makes it very hard to penetrate the job market. However, NJDOP has a website where you can browse available jobs and submit an application along with $15. I did that and I waited and waited for the process to reach the stage where the actual hiring agency would give out interviews for the position. 2 months into that last stage (the DOP said that the hiring agency had 90 days in which to interview candidates), I got anxious and decided to call the municipality. They were supposed to pick from the top 3 candidates but they told me in no uncertain terms that they were going to give it to "the person who was already doing the job." When I questioned the ethics and legality of their decision, I was told that they really hadn't finalized things. This person was hoping that I would go away but, sadly, NJ is a state where ageism and/or crony-ism is condoned. Stay tuned, I'm waiting to see if I get an interview and if I don't get the job,...

Size and other Characteristics Matter in Trumpville

Why was Comey fired? He towered over Trump, that's why. It's a no-no. That other dude that knew his job well was tall, and I suspect the administration knew all the time of his spousal abuse history but it only became a problem for him when his height got on the president's nerve, OUT. This height obsession is a conflation of the President's own tallness and NY real estate where the bigger the edifice, the bigger your status. Look at whom he holds on to--Sessions, plenty of reason to fire him but he's all so diminutive that Mr. Trump feels he might be charged with child abuse if he were to act against him; besides, Sesssions takes it on the chin and will forever hold the distinct "honor" of being the first mainstream Republican to embrace the President's candidacy. This represents two pluses. The short and tough-looking General Mattis stays while the bigger and better looking Tillerson goes. Mustaches: if you have one, you're out but a whit...

I Doubt My Mother-in-Law will ever get Covid Even at 90+

You see, she has never been a germaphobe and that means her immune system is tip top. When you're not a germaphobe, you subject yourself to all manner of germs that immunize you against similar organisms. My German mother-in-law cleans her home meticulously but she has no compunction with sticking her hands into the sewer and unclogging it by hand. "But Midge, I have a snake for that. Ah, what's the big deal, she says to me." Never argue with your mother-in-law. When your mother tells you to wash your hands before supper, is she doing you a disfavor? I think so. In countries with many parasites or in our present pandemic, you want to wash them off your hands but, if not, you want lots and lots of germs to keep your immune system on guard. This brings me to the factoid that Women are less likely to get or die from Covid. Duh, obviously, who subject themselves to more germs as a parent? The one who plays in the parlor with the kids or the one who cleans their diaper...
