When you choose love, fears and hatred diminish.


Today's Tids Issue 4,034
For choices:

In the literary circles, many writers who know Michael Wolff personally and/or professionally say he has made a fantastic living being right about 25% of the time.

You do not fall in love by default nor as some observers say, by choice; you fall in love because of a special kind of feeling in your heart that overwhelms your senses.

Alabama 24; Georgia 19.

I continually fight my impulsive compulsives. One of them is this unrelenting need to listen to Brahms every Saturday morning. I vowed to break the trance this past weekend, but somehow my hand reached out for the CD of his first symphony. The initial haunting strains filled my space, and I was hooked like an innocent sitting in a Colorado smoked filled room. But, at least listening to this master doesn’t come with a hangover. Unless of course, if those around you consider incessant humming an illegal intrusion.

Did you see where our country’s economic machine just achieved an all-time high in exports? Hooray for the USA. Not so fast, Uncle Sam. We also saw an all-time high in our imports, which despite our productive efforts, gave us an even higher trade deficit. The good news is, if you can get away from the provincial scorecard for a second, you realize that the US and world economies are really, really good.

As an old country boy once said: “Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.”

After last night’s big standing “O” speech, celebs crumbling to the floor in tears seemed to have anointed their fave Oprah for the next president of the US. I think she will do well as a Democrat since part of her fame comes from giving away free stuff to audiences.

Word of the day – Cognoscenti: Persons of Superior Knowledge and understanding of a particular field, especially in the fine arts, literature and fine fashion. Example of use in a sentence:  The Tids have been passed over as beneath the notice of the cognoscenti.

It’s that time of years I will be sucked into being bored by films selected as masterpieces by self-appointed cognoscenti, the Critics. I have yawned through many a lauded picture of-the-year, which has failed to entertain or arouse, but exists primarily to deliver a message.

Have you ever wondered why the left who are against big corporations smothering the helpless little guy are totally in favor of whales which everyday vacuum up the defenseless krill and plankton? Talk about encroachment upon the helpless.

While at the end of last week where we saw a less than projected newly created jobs performance, we also learned that the help wanted adds are higher than ever. The reason we have problems getting below 4% very low unemployment is that there just aren’t enough skills around to fill all of the job openings that exist.

Isn’t it interesting how Lefties who at the beginning of the Trump admin thought Bannon was Hitler, now view him as Matthew, Mark Luke and John.

Eating a clock is time consuming.

ESPN has never been particularly kind to the NE Patriots. But they may have just done my beloveds a big favor with the negative story just released last Friday – making them really mad as hell. Giving them an inspiration to show the world again they are the best.

Many of the darlings of the college basketball cognoscenti are showing extreme vulnerabilities. North Carolina, Duke. Kentucky and Kansas, to name a few of the annually exalted, have showed significant fallibilities. And. that could be very good for basketball in general. For the average fan, the best of college basketball has always been the promise of upsets. The Hoosiers, and more.

You have to wonder if Donovan McNab’s smiling Mom is still serving him hot soup.

I am certainly not a big advocate of pot. But, the federal government should stay out of it. I will always go to the side of states and communities having their own rights to mess things up and the citizens having the options of living there or not.

One of the best safeguards against rampant pot use is not sending people to jail, but firing them from jobs because of inept performance due the weed.  Letting them see life in a lesser world. The answer is about making choices.

Today’s agenda for the morning cognoscenti: Analyzing the importance of the Golden Globes.

Second word of the Day: Weed – A plant of vigorous growth that is not valued where it is growing; Especially – One that tends to overgrow or choke more desirable plants; 2: An obnoxious growth, thing or person not valued where it is growing 

The Answer:
The smaller homespun ice cream companies – Edys and Ben & Jerry’s have been inhaled by a couple of Whales – Nestle and Unilever.
