About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a weekly basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Have A Laugh On Me

Did you know it takes a Mother years and years of careful manipulation to educate and raise her boy properly for this world? But it will only take a girlfriend 30 seconds to make him stupid?

God created the Heavens and the Earth. Everything else is made in China!
 
What is an Astronaut's favorite part of a keyboard? The Space Bar!

Women are like a new computer virus. They ENTER your life. SEARCH through your pockets. SHIFT your balance. CONTROL your life. And when you become an old version, DELETE you from their system.

I have been told, that if I keep drinking beer the way I do, I will become fat!
Beer doesn't make you fat! It makes you LEAN! Up against tables, chairs, walls, and ugly people!

Two Irish Men were walking past a bar. I know, I can't believe either!

I asked my wife the other day, "What is your favorite book in the World?"
She said, "Your checkbook."

What is green, rectangle, and has a head on it that drives women wild?
A Hundred Dollar Bill!

I have been called a grouch by a lot of people. Its not that I am anti-social. Some days I'm just not user friendly!

An Arachnid Love Story

  I'm not quite ready to start writing again, 
but in celebrating of my grandson coming to visit me this weekend I am re-posting a fictional story I wrote about him back on 
Wednesday, August 24, 2016
called 
***** 

   When you have kids, they all grow up differently.
   I had one daughter, my first, who I had to wrap my arms around to keep her from running away or squirming when she got her vaccination shots as a child.
   Then my fourth daughter would just sit there and stare as a nurse put the needle into her arm. Never flinching.
   So when I recently came back from my vacation from Texas, I thought nothing of it when my grandson took out his mason jar of new spiders he had captured.
   You see, he isn't afraid of any spider on Earth.
   When his Aunts ask him to squish a spider they see, he won't do it. He will take out a mason jar, capture it, then let it go free outside.
   Driving, I pretended I saw what he was showing me with a quick glance over my shoulder since he was sitting in his booster seat in the back. After that, I forgot all about it.
   It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago, that I found out exactly what he was trying to show me. I know he feeds his spiders dead ants. He will kill those, but I never realized how many spiders he was feeding.
   The nightmare happened when we had a forced entry by an escaped convict one night.
   The convict grabbed my grandson at knife point and told me that if the police come to the door, I had better find a way to get rid of them, or he would die!
   It just so happens a few days before, the community mailbox sitting in front of our house was broken into. I called the police about the incident and a Sheriff came to my door for a statement. We got along fine, shook hands when he departed, and I never expected to see him again. He was the officer who came to my door asking if I had heard or seen anything suspicious relating to an escaped convict.
   We got along so well before that when I said I hadn't, he took my word for it and went on to the next house.
   That is when I heard a scream. Not from my grandson, it was from the intruder.
   The hand he held the knife with? It was covered with about fifty spiders. Another fifty or so were crawling all over his body.
   He screamed again and pleaded for me to call back the officer, so I did.
   I found out later, that this felon, would never be able to have children of his own in his life, because of all the poison released inside his body that day.
   In fact, he is lucky to still be alive. The hand which held the knife to my grandson's throat, he lost part of that arm, from the elbow on down.
   The police have no way of explaining what happened. But a local college professor claimed that he knew the answer.
   The felon had probably hidden in some nearby bushes and when he had entered my home unlawfully, the spiders were finally taking action against him for invading those bushes.
   But I know the truth.
   My grandson now has five of those glass habitats for insects and I let him collect as many ants and other bugs as he can, as feeders.
   I don't need a handgun in my house and worry about break-ins anymore. I have over two-hundred brown recluse spiders living in my home and the child they love.

This is,
If You Do Not Believe Me,
Piss Off My Grandson Someday,
Jim Hauenstein,

- J.R.R. Tolkien, -
 
That is my story and I am sticking to it!

Thank You For Understanding

I am taking a few days off since my last post. The insincerity expressed by Temecula Valley Hospital in their response to my Yelp review has set me back in my recovery from losing my Wife to COVID-19. Sorry to everyone who comes to this blog to read what I have to say everyday.

Thank You For Understanding

They Have Some Nerve

This is something I need to be say
or it will eat away at me.
*****
   On February 26th of 2021, I wrote a post called;
   I told the story of how badly my wife treated by the Doctors and Nurses who work at this hospital. How I had to bring her to the hospital twice before they even looked at her seriously. But, unfortunately for her, her family who loved her, and myself, who lost my world, it was too late by then.
She died on February 4th because of the incompetence of the staff!
   I am highlighting this fact to show the world just how disconnected the employees at the Temecula Valley Hospital really are in the care of the local public. The post I wrote here on this blog that day was also copied word for word and put up on my Yelp page. I did get one reader on Yelp who agreed with me. I like to thank her here, publicly. Thank you.
   But I haven't looked at my Yelp page since then until I decided to write a nice review about my Dentist yesterday.
Now here is the part that gets me really angry.
   What doesn't show up on Yelp for the public to see is the response the business sends you after your review. This is from
Lauren S. of Temecula Valley Hospital.
   "Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us."
(I didn't reach out, I wrote a Yelp review.)
   "We are sorry to hear about your frustrations and assure you that we take your concerns very seriously. Due to federal patient privacy laws, we cannot discuss your wife's care with you, however, we encourage her to reach out directly so that we can learn more about her experience."
Then it goes on explaining
How My Dead Wife
can give her contact information so
They Can Follow Up With Her!
How can
Lauren S.
take my concerns seriously if she never read my
Post
or even had
Skimmed
though it?
If she had,
she might have noticed two sentences after the first paragraph which read, 
I love you honey. Rest In Peace!

Spammed

If you live long enough you will eventually be hustled or scammed by someone.
Everyone has,
even though no one likes to admit it.
I am also pretty sure some of you will email,
message,
or text me saying that you have never been duped by anyone,
ever.
Maybe even someone out there will be brave enough to leave a
Comment
here on this
Blog
saying how he
or she has never been swindled.
Let me ask you this.
Not even by your
Parents
to get you to do something when you were little?
Okay,
enough of an introduction.
My point is,
I was taken advantage of last summer.
Over the course of this blog I have stated where I have handed out free meals to the homeless on
Thanksgiving,
handout one dollar bills to most of the people holding up cardboard help me signs on street corners when it is safe to do so,
and donate clothing & furniture for the poor at the
So last year I thought I would go a bit further
and went online to sign up with
Greenpeace International.
I gave them one of my lesser used email addresses (I have 6),
because I know I will be getting a lot of spam as most businesses sell this information.
Even the
Federal Government
does it.
How do you think all that junk mail gets to your house with your name on it. Don't believe me?
Read the
sometime on any website you visit,
program,
or app you download.
Here is where I made a grave mistake though.
And I should know better since I worked with computers for twenty years before retiring in 2008.
On the online form I filled out I put down my real phone number so they could call me
and set up an appointment so I could be assessed on how I could help.
They also sell this information,
read your EULA.
It only took two days before my phone was spammed with texted messages saying they were from my cell phone company,
Amazon,
FedEx,
Social Security,
tax preparers,
and links to nude pictures of women who said they knew me.
Yes,
the spammers have my name too!
Because
Greenpeace
also gave them that information.

Homer Simpson Doh Sound Effect
 Of course I block every text message's phone number I get after I,
first,
text my spam message to my phone company at
7726.
This text number is an universal number.
So whichever cell phone company you have it will go directly to them.
Second,
I go to the website
Click on

then

and follow the instructions from there.

“When you sign up for Instagram, you are agreeing to their terms of service. When you put content up, you agree that while you own the content you are giving them rights to it as well. This did not go into effect recently. This is common place for many social sites.
