#rmdo In So Many Ways #humor

I was having dessert along with my dinner.
Me: Do you know any one else who eats dessert with dinner?
Mary: No.
Mike: Then I am unique?!
Mary: In SO many ways!! #rmdo

#rmdo My 65th Birthday #facebook #apps #spam #geekhumor

Just to update you: tomorrow, March 3rd, will be my 65th birthday, and March 4th will be the 3rd Anniversary of Mary and me.
I tell you this because I am not signing up for any birthday apps. I have a moderate amount of trust in Facebook software. I have ABSOLUTELY NO TRUST in their spammy 3rd party apps, including the birthday app and especially the games, a thinly veneered gateway for gambling. #rmdo

We are driving down 6 Mile Road travelling West, new territory for me. Mary is telling where different roads go.

Me: I've been trying to get my bearings since we've been married. #rmdo

#rmdo Candyman, Corpses, and #fringe #humor


In the latest episode of Fringe, from the 2nd season, that Mary and I are viewing on Amazon Prime, 3 autopsied  but animated corpses sat up and sang "Candy Man".
Weirder and weirder.. #rmdo

#rmdo Heart Attack Snow #humor

The Detroit, Michigan suburbs has been experiencing above average snow falls this year. This prompted a conversation between my brother and me:
Tim Dittmer: Boy, oh boy! I was sure glad I bought that snow blower this morning.
Heart attack snow.

Mike Dittmer: Boy, oh boy! I was sure glad I had the sense to marry a woman  who lives in a condo, where they shovel the snow for us, and we spent most of February in Florida. #rmdo

#rmdo #mcdonalds WHY WASNT I CALLED??!! #humor



I found, through a random question at the drive through, that McDonald's brought back their delicious cherry pies.
They had stopped selling them almost a year ago. Shortly afterwards their stores had a disastrous financial report in which, for the first time in 10 years, their stores sales dropped. Their CEO was fired.
I blogged about this and told McDonalds that if they wanted their store sales to get back on track again, they needed to BRING BACK CHERRY PIES! I reminded them of this every time I went through the drive through, until, partly though despair and partly because Mary made me, I quit asking for cherry pies for several months.
Now, without announcement or fanfare, at the original low price of two for a dollar, (they were 2 for $1.39 when they stopped selling them) cherry pies at McDonalds are back.
What upsets me, Ronald McDonald, is this: WHY WASN'T I CALLED??!! #rmdo

#rmdo Ketchup and Kisses #humor

Mary and I stopped at the drive through for burgers. Mary got some ketchup on her face. I offered to clean off the ketchup with kisses. Mary said No.. not while I'm driving. #rmdo

#rmdo Life Giving Hell Fire Quenching GRACE! #prayer #wisdompoet

Only Your GRACE! keeps me from being consumed by Your fiery anger..
GRACE! that flows like a mighty river from the Cross.
I embrace that Cross where Your Son willingly died for my sins.
Fill my heart, soul, body, spirit, my life..
with a flood of Your life giving, Hell fire quenching GRACE! #rmdo
