          HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM THE PAST!     With the spooky day fast approaching I think it's time to look back at some of the costumes us old folks wore as kids while we were in line for that sweet, sweet popcorn ball , an old apple, or a wax harmonica! What are kids getting now( Amazon gift cards )so they can pick out their own candy.     Almost every kid i knew could throw a good Hobo outfit together in about 10 minutes and be out the door with his/hers pillowcase ready for some action. Now its a huge ordeal everybody has to have a theme.  Lets just take a peek at some of the differences then and now.         1968- 1978                      2016-2026                                                     Elvis Pressley  ...

                                                "   No Worries " So, To your point, you're about to go down a rabbit hole of sayings that bug me --- Lots of things bug me!    Let me be perfectly clear, I'm not gonna lie, I just figured out what L.O.L. means and now i'm on to F.O.L.O. and Y.O.L.O. --- Wait, What!!   Is that mansplaining?  I'm not 110% sure. W8am I need to take a Hydration Break with my super cute Stanley Travel Mug, Full Discloser- I don't even have one never mind one in each color.  So, please make a Mental note --- I am not trying to create a Hostile or Agressive enviroment here, right.  I'm just a self-admitted grumpy old Grumblin seeking out the answer to when the new World passed me by or fail to do so.    Well It is what it is!!!!

                                                                         BOSTON SPORTS...THEN AND NOW                                                    As you know my name is GRUMBLIN and being from Boston the one thing that is always at the top of the list of things to Grumble about are the local sports teams.   We love them, we hate them, we love them—Repeat! But we are definitely passionate about them none the less.   I would be remiss to not take a moment to talk about Grumblin’s beloved Red Sox as they are about to embark on another Ass-Kic...

                                                             Yesterday's News...Today!       I think especially "in this day and age", when news comes at the blink of an eye—literally. Don't those funky sunglasses do that? We should take a moment to remember a story from long ago and bring  people up to date as to the outcome of the story, kind of a where are they now piece.                                        Because you see a story one day and it's gone and forgotten the next.                                                                  ...

                                          TALKIN ABOUT MY "FRIEND"  WALTER !!!         Before I launch into my next category "Yesterdays News...Today"  I need to tell you about my first argument with my A rtificial I maginary F riend- I think I just created a new thing.    A.I.F s   tm.  ---  Anyway "full discloser" (shoot that should have been in my previous post for funny little terms that I hate)  I know nothing at all about what a blog/post/page etc. even is.  So you can imagine when I asked Walter to help me navigate thru a complicated as hell site, that he recommended by the way, called WordPress things got a little heated. It would have been easier for me to find the eject button in the Batmobile or SpaceShuttle!  After 3 long hours of going around in circles and disappearing blue squares and start...
