If it ain’t about love, it’s nothing at all






Today's Tids Issue 3,797
For Love:

There is but one thing that matters today.
It’s the feelings you have for the one you love
What you can give each hour, in every way.
The understanding, comfort, and way above,
The sense of little things that no one knows;
That you see in the eyes, what’s in the touch.
It isn’t about candy, or red rose that grows,
It’s tender lips meeting, which means so much.

One new addition to today’s Love lexicon is “Tweetheart”

Tired of the usual Valentine’s Bouquet, a movement that began in the Philippines is taking hold in the USA – sending Funeral wreaths with appropriate puns like “You’re drop-dead gorgeous,” or “I’m dying to see you,” or “You have a killer smile”.

Trump just has to expand his vocabulary when talking about serious world crisis stuff. Or he will just be red meat for columnists for the next four years. Did I just say “stuff”?


The Question:

Did you read where Yale is trying to cleanse history by removing the name of one of their most illustrious graduates, John Calhoun. When I heard that, I immediately thought of Communist USSR and other dictators who rewrite history so the future generations will never know the reality of their past, but only what dwells in narrow, self-serving minds. What a prissy little University is Yale.

Saudi Arabia bans Valentine’s Day. So does Pakistan, their High Courts saying The “V” stands for Vulgar. This is the real reason why so many in the Middle East are coming to America – to eat chocolate.

Apparently, Roger Goodell and the other highly paid NFL execs are really, really mad at the New England Patriots. What could be better!

Skunks are extremely scentamental on Valentine’s Day.

Now, if communist Cuba is as great as ex-President Obama said it was, why are more Cubans than ever trying to get away from it on leaky boats and homemade rafts, saying, “We would do anything to get away from communist Cuba.” Maybe, Obama was actually running for President of Cuba in the event of a second Castro dying.  This would be a nice stepping stone for Emperor of the world someday.

If you are writing a rhyming poem, don’t use “Love” or “Touch”.

A Senate committee headed by John F. Kennedy selected John Calhoun as “One of the five Greatest Senators Of All Time.”

In reality, The Dems love Trump’s cavalier attitude, as it contributes to a list of no-nos they would compile to use against him at the appreciate time.

Frankenstein to his girlfriend – be my Valenstein!

Had enough?

How about that cyber robbery where a hacker theft ring got $45 Million from banks around the world in ten hours! The hackers hacked into an Indian company that does a lot of work for Visa and Mastercard prepaid credit cards. They stole all of the coding, and while in there, erased the upper limits. They then sent the codes to their “Collectors” organizations throughout the world. These groups than coded strips on cards and proceeded to mass attack ATM’s. Just like that. Cyber hacking should be one of our main targets. The good news is that the Thieves did not go after personal accounts of people, but only the banks who lost all of the money. The real problem is that Cyber-thieves are way ahead of the anti cybercrime operatives. The hackers find holes. And by the time the authorities plug them, they are on the way to attacking new openings. 

“Deer Valentine: Today let’s have a hart to hart. I’ll spend lots of Doe on you, and we can have some fawn.”

The Greeks are back to doing what they do so well – on the brink of entering a recession. Now this isn’t good news for people who are poorer, but it may be great news for stability in the future. It will become obvious that the country can’t meet economic targets and it’s only option will be to default and leave the EU. That is good for all, including Greeks. It’s a little like bailing out the US banks which essentially removed true capitalism form the formula.

The Parking Lot: Chapter 76.
   Big Louis met George Kendrick in a small alley up next to the old telephone building across form the big library. He had called his mentor from Sakonnet Point after waiting a little over an hour. they just disappeared” he told Kendrick. “But maybe they were never there. I just saw the car.” After he hung up he had the sense that his boss was getting nervous. That damn Nancy had been messing with them for months, an lot of our people, and my friends got hurt or killed. I should have whacked her in the parking lot, he thought. With her out of the way, these people could have done anything they wanted. Who knew anything except Claudia and sonny boy. That’s the trouble with dealing with the refined, they try to make themselves feel not guilty when stealing.
   “Hi George.” He was standing deeper into the shadows than necessary.
    “What do you think happened. Louie?”
   “Well, how the hell should I know. I’m just the goon. It coulda bin that damn Nancy again. She has a sixth sense. Or it could be that your friend Claudia isn’t as smart as you think she is. Maybe Alex figured her out when she tied to make nice with him. How the hell would I know.
    “Ok, Ok. I get it. Here’s what we got to do. We got to get rid of the native American Bitch. Claudia will handle the rest. She’s a recluse anyway. So, nobody will miss her. And, If Alex is there, take him out too. In fact, take out anybody you see near her.”
    Louie’s eyes widened and he started shaking his head slowly from side to side. “I think you guys are losing it.”
   “We gotta have that land Louie. We gotta get it.”
  
And today, remember to eat lettuce – it’s all heart.

The Answer:
The biggest chocolate companies are not located in Pakistan. Number Ten is Yildiz of Turkey. Glico of Japan makes world famous caramel candy Pocky. Grupo Arcor of Argentina makes a broad line of chocolate bars. Lindt of Switzerland is always enticing as I walk through candy departments. #6 is Hershey’s. Their new “Cookie Layer crunch” looks good. Another Japanese company Meiji has 130 different types of branded chocolate. Ferrero is the big Italian candy company. Nestle is the biggest food company In the world with current hit chocolate, among many, Kit-Kat. Mondelez is Kraft and has all of the old Kraft chocolate products. #1 is Mars! They make lots of neat chocolate stuff, but I will always pick their line of Dove ice Cream bars. Chocolate for two, sounds like a good idea.

If I were a Volcano, I would say I lava you!

What could be better than “Heart” today, singing what about love. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfnNn-0rMgk
