Bill's Rant
Mood:  don't ask
Now Playing: Bill's Rant
Topic: Try Common Sense
Some days I feel like a joke without a punch line. Today is one of those days. But I keep on chuggin' ahead at half speed like a car with a flat. I really like the Rocky movies and they inspire me. I could stay up all night feeling sorry for myself, and I might just do that tonight. Why? Well, that's personal. 

I'll just say I get tired of being treated like an old guy who needs a babysitter or gets ignored altogether. Is it too much to ask for a kind word now and then... a bit of praise from people you care  about? So I guess I am a contender. Maybe so, but this Old Guy can punch. 

There are tons of people out there who are so called Paranormal Experts. They give lectures at a few colleges, but most speak at UFO conferences where they pat each other on the back, then go online and write garbage about the rest of us. See my website.

One was put away in a mental institution for trying to murder local officials who disagreed with him. He was nominated as Ufologist of the Year by a major UFO Organization (take a guess which one). Another was the so called Pentagon Whistleblower who, it turns out, never worked there according to a newspaper expose.

How many of these people spoke before hundreds of US Air Force Academy Cadets in the 1990s about the US Government cover-up? That was an experience! Yet, they all enjoyed my multimedia presentation, as did many of their instructors.

I got 245,000 visits on my IMDb page so far this month as a writer, director, narrator and producer. Taylor Swift, Bradley Cooper, Madonna and Beyonce together didn't get that many. Over 10 million visits in two years. 8 million so far this year. Use this link and see for yourselves. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4369603/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1

3 new books this year (True Crime, History and my own life story)  and lots of articles, most of the articles free on my website. TV Scripts, a Play, a Blog, a Podcast, and so many awards I can't find them all to list on my website. Don't get me wrong, no one owes me anything. I don't want a "Thank you for your service" as a Marine. Just a little human compassion and the occasional compliment.

And, yea, I still have all my mental faculties. No sign of dementia, forgetfulness or Senior Moments. If you have an older friend or family member: Treat them with respect. No special treatment, just sincerity. Give them an honest compliment once in a while. I'm only 63 and 60 is the new 40.

****Above all, make them feel like they mean something in your life. 

OK, no more Jerry McGuire style ranting for a while. How are all you folks doing? http://www.billknellsworld.com

What is love?
Mood:  a-ok
Now Playing: Love
Topic: Try Common Sense

Feelings That Are Easily Mistaken For Love

Kirstie Taylor

I’m a firm believer that no one really can define love or how it feels. It’s like describing a color to someone. You can simply point at something you’ve been told is the color, but using words to define it is futile.
 
Love is elusive. Love looks different for everyone. And love can be one of the greatest mysteries we experience as human beings.
 
Some people claim you’ll just know when it happens. There will be no doubt in your mind.
But many people leave relationships and realize they weren’t actually in love. They simply mistook a different feeling for what they think love must feel like.
 
So while there is no way to really describe love — no indicator for when you’re in it — there is room to talk about instances you might mistake for love.
And those will be key to avoiding a lot of hurt emotions and complacency.
 
Stability
 
When your own life is unstable, you crave stability elsewhere. If you begin to date someone that has their life running somewhat smoothly, chances are you’ll feel a connection to them.
 
And while dating someone stable is healthy, it’s not love. If you’re not aware of this occurrence, you could easily slip into complacency with someone that doesn’t truly interest you. Hello, one reason for divorce.
 
A Rollercoaster
 
I dated an emotionally abusive guy. He’d have my crying on our bathroom floor and cuddling in bed, lovingly doting on each other, all in one day. This happened often.
A rollercoaster evokes strong feelings. When you think things are going good, you’re all the sudden hit with a huge drop that’s terrifying and thrilling all at once.
Going from one emotional peak to the next is often mistaken for passion. But love isn’t tear-soaked pillows and kisses on the forehead every day; it’s compassion and care for one another.
 
Great Sex
 
Our society places a great deal on sex: it’s in our advertising; it’s heightened in TV shows. Sex is everywhere.
 
We’re taught to believe the most profound emotional connection we can have with someone is when we’re naked, in bed, and getting it on.
 
But this is only one aspect to a relationship. And, in my honest opinion, a tiny element of a healthy relationship.
 
If you’re having great sex, that’s amazing. Kudos to you both. But remember that your relationship occurs mostly outside your bed (or at least it should). If the rest of your relationship is lackluster, then chances are you’re not in love.
 
Someone Being Nice To You
 
Guilty, party of one! I’ve dated several guys from my circle of friends. They were kind to me. At times when I was most insecure or going through a breakup, they were there to listen.
 
When you’ve dated a lot of horrible guys, it can quickly feel like you’re in love when someone finally treats you in a decent way. But this is not love, and you must be careful not to use this person as your emotional support dog.
 
Jealousy
 
Getting wildly upset over your partner talking to someone of the opposite sex isn’t love. Nor is it very healthy.
 
It’s a sign of insecurities; either with yourself or with your partner. Try addressing why it is that you feel the way you do. Is it because you believe you’re not good enough for your partner? Or do you not trust your partner?
 
A Self-Made Illusion
 
Putting your partner on a pedestal is a real thing. It’s like when we were in high school and wanted so badly to date the quarterback. But in reality, he was pretty douchey and had the emotional depth of a teaspoon.
 
But he was good-looking, and on the football team, so we put him on a pedestal.
Idealizing your partner is making them into an illusion. Because no one is perfect; everyone will falter. You’re not lucky to be with your partner, and that ill-founded idea of “luck” doesn’t equate to love.
 
Friendship
 
Sometimes, we feel an intense connection with another person. But that doesn’t mean it’s love.
 
I have a lot of guy friends. As a heterosexual girl, this is a slippery slope. Guys tend to try to take things to a romantic level. And sometimes, I do too.
 
As a hopeful romantic, I want to give everyone a chance. But this tends to be my fault. I mistake a deep connection for someone as love rather than what it is: a friendship.
If you feel a deep connection for someone, but the lack of sexual desire is apparent, then you too could be mistaking love for friendship.
 
Love is a mystery but a beautiful one to experience. When found, like any relationship, it requires care and intentional work to keep it flourishing.
Just be sure that what you have is love, first.

Well, let me tell you...
Mood:  don't ask
Topic: Try Common Sense
Today I have decided to offer some advice...

I am weary of watching people kill themselves and torture their families with a drug problem. I don't care if it makes you feel better or doesn't. 

When it comes to drugs it's a personal choice. The government should have learned by now that you cannot legislate morality. Wake up Uncle Sam! The more you tell people not to do something, the more they will do it.

The Soviets were going to create a paradise for the workers of the world. All they did was replace one oppressive regime with another. In Russia they rightly say, There will always be a Czar." Just look at Putin.

The government tried to tell people who to marry. Courts changed that. However, by passing the original restrictive marriage laws, the idiots in D.C. gave the courts  the ability to legislate from the bench. Same sex marriages are now mostly legal. Here's the downside... 

People are now suing to be allowed to have multiple wives and husbands, as well as to marry close relatives or even their own children. Some want to legally marry their pets and give them the same rights and benefits as people. So I wonder what the Social Security retirement age will be in dog years???

People filing those lawsuits will probably end up winning.  Why? Because constitutionally, the Government doesn't have a leg to stand on. Courts will look at the over reaching Bigamy Laws and toss them. You know the Supreme(ly Stupid) Court will get rid of those laws or misinterpret them as they did when they used the old 'Congress shall establish no religion... blah blah blah...' to kick God and prayer out of schools. Just because you don't like or disagree with what people do doesn't mean you can outlaw it.

They made booze illegal during Prohibition which made criminals rich and created a Nationwide crime wave. They took smoking ads off TV, taxed tabbaco products like never before and set an age limit on the purchase of them. Now, the number of school age kids that smoke increases expepadentially each year.

If someone is bent on putting pleasure above their health, their friends, their family or their job, you cannot stop them. When I see someone hooked on alcoholic beverages or tabbaco, I know they are knocking years off their life. That's bad enough, but when I see someone hooked on cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, crack and so on, I see someone who is dead already.

Watching someone you know do drugs is like being on a ship and seeing someone purposely drowning in the water. They jumped in already knowing that  they could not swim. You throw them a life vest, but they don't put it on. You throw them a flotation life saver, but they refuse to grab it. If you jump in and try to save them, they will pull you down with them.

  Wanna end drug addiction? Give every dealer a death sentence just as they give their customers one. Bomb and kill people who grow, refine or chemically create drugs and pharma products to sell. Most of all, use the few brain cells that God gave you to pass up lethal substances. You know God, he's that guy that made everything and isn't allowed in schools. He wants you to live a happy and fulfilling life. If you don't believe in him, see where that gets you. 

And you Progressives... In case you think God (if you pretend to believe in him) says it's OK to murder children in the womb, let drug dealers out of prison early or allow illegals to murder citizens with no consequences... Well, I suggest you get used to a very hot climate and tell the undertaker to dress you in light clothing when you pass.

Boeing 737 Max Problems

The Boeing 737 Max 8 Crashes: Possible Explanations


There is an ugly truth out there that no one wants to face. Technology is taking over the Aircraft Industry and related fields. Planes are designed on computers, filled with automation and new improvements. Computers tend to allow people to work on designs for longer hours. While computers may not make mistakes, people do. These mistakes are not always caught by machines or people.


Many U.S. airports and tracking systems are ill-equipped to deal with new and updated technology. They use technology that often is thirty to fifty years old. Even with updates and improvements these systems are old at their base. In less developed nations the problem is even worse. Those using new or updated technologies in aircrafts and tracking systems may not have been properly trained to do so or had enough time to practice using it because limited simulators are available.


Finally, the skies might just be too crowded. Hoping that overworked personnel, limited and outdated systems will handle the ever growing load of air traffic is like watching someone standing in the middle of a freeway hoping they will not get hit by a car. They will dodge some vehicles, but eventually get run down. There is no single answer to these problems. They should all be addressed individually instead of being ignored.


The crash of two Boeing 737 Max 8 jets within a few months of each other and pilot complaints about the aircraft have caused the USA, UK and a growing list of nations to ban their use. If you plan to travel by air double check flights, reservations, connections and make sure these bans affect you as little as possible. All the checks in place during the design and manufacturing processes at Boeing make it hard to believe that isn't a case of gross negligence or sabotage. This could mean economic disaster for Boeing and some Airlines.

A New Way To Eat Healthy and Save Your Life

A New Way To Eat Healthy and Save Your Life


Every so often we are told to avoid certain foods because they can cause high cholesterol levels, have too much salt or for some other health reason. These warnings usually come from researchers or organizations dedicated to having people eat healthy. Sadly, it is what healthy food experts don't tell you about certain edibles that can actually kill you. Either they don't know, which I believe to be unlikely, or they are more interested in preserving the sales of potentially dangerous foods regardless of the risk.


For the past couple of decades there has been a significant increase in food contamination occurrences. Certain foods have caused illness and even death because of listeria, e coli and other contaminants. It's unwise to ignore this situation and just continue eating the way people did twenty or more years ago. Why? Because the food production and processing landscape has changed.


Fresh salads are delicious and dangerous! There have been a number of listeria outbreaks involving lettuce and other items used in salads. You can't just wash it off because the contamination is on the inside, sort of speak. Growers hire pickers who come from third world Nations where water supplies have been contaminated for a long time. Although the pickers have built up a resistance to these contaminants, most Americans have no such protection.


When migrant workers relieve themselves in crop areas the contaminants are released into the soil and end up being absorbed by the crops. Fertilizer made from animal manure may also be a cause. Sadly, any uncooked veggies pose a threat. Some people throw salad materials in the microwave for a minute claiming that nuking them kills the bacteria. Well, the scientific jury is still out on that method. Microwaves don't kill bacteria, heat does. You would have to place uncooked veggies in on high for 2 minutes to be safe. Or, give your food the cold shoulder...


Better to place fresh veggies and fruit in the freezer overnight. Bacteria doesn't grow or survive well in freezing temperatures. Some say refrigerating them is enough, but I would not bet my life on that. Besides leafy vegetables, melons and sprouts are most likely to be infected with listeria. Your safest move is to purchase fruit and veggies that you cook. Salmonella is a problem that usually involves raw eggs, so cook them fully. E coli shows up frequently in uncooked meat, deli meat, hot dogs and other processed, non-frozen foods. Again, most workers in food processing plants are from third world Nations. Freeze or heat that stuff before you eat it.


Listeria recently showed up in flour, so no more licking the spoon or bowl when you bake. Wear throw away gloves when you handle raw flour and eggs. Use throw away cloths instead of sponges to wipe down counters and clean food processors. Cook meats fully, wear gloves during preparation and keep meats away from your veggies. Wash your hands before you switch from handling one type of food to handling another.


Take food processors apart and run the washable bowls and parts through your dishwasher after use. Or, if you are using it for several different items during cooking, rinse with extremely hot water making sure all previous food particles are removed. Finally, check food recalls and warnings frequently online at https://cknell.tripod.com/dr/a/rssfood.html

A NEW BOOK from Doctor Know
New!  Just out...

The Celts Changed The World and You May Be One
by Doctor Know
 
The influence of the Celts has touched many nations and many people in a positive way. Instead of creating an Empire like the Romans, they cautiously established well grounded, self-supporting settlements. ‘All politics are local’ is a saying that fits the celtic system well. No huge hierarchy, just self-governing towns filled with people who value nature as much as they value the arts.

This book answers the questions most people have about these ancient people and explains why it is likely that you may have a Celtic heritage of your own.

We don't lie!
The Latest from CNN (NOT FAKE NEWS!  "We don't lie.")

After last night's big New York debate, a janitor discovered Gov Cuomo and Ms Nixon in a supply closet playing patticake! The janitor, who wished to remain anonymous, was shocked. He said, "Both of them were wearing pink pajamas. Don't they know that everyone is so over pink?"

In other news... In preparation for the Senate committee hearings on the confirmation of Judge Brett KKKavanaugh, Senate Democrats have ordered thumb screws and electric cattle prods. Not to worry... An ambulance will be standing by.

Finally... Kyle Greene, an independent running for a Minnesota state House seat, used a racial slur in a campaign video in order to get voters to focus on "real issues," he said.  “I want to be your state representative. I want to be your public servant. And I want to be your... black alternative to all dem white honkey peckerwoods! Kyle Greene, an independent, said in his first campaign commercial. 

Stay tuned to see Wolf Blister's face after yet another round of Botox injections...

Another NEW BOOK, I need a vacation!

 

:I have another new book to add to my Author's Book Shelf.

 Everything Irish About Ireland

 

 Like many Americans my genetic and cultural heritage includes the fact that I am half Irish. The other half is Scandinavian. In a sense, that makes me very Irish. The history of Ireland 800–1169 covers the period from the first Viking raids to the Norman invasion. However, recent archeological finds give the impression that the Vikings may have visited the emerald isle much earlier; coming and going as they pleased.

Vikings left a lot of culture, language, building tech, traditions and genes behind. Red hair and freckles came from Norway. Google Erik The Red, a famous Viking with flaming red hair.

Millions of other people around the world claim Irish Ancestry. That doesn't mean they know a lot about Ireland and the Irish. It's what they don't know that will surprise them. Especially Irish social etiquette. If you are planning a trip to the Emerald Isle for business, pleasure or to meet an Irish guy or girl, this information will be invaluable to you. Explore Irish People, Social Etiquette, History, Culture, Music, Dancing and more.
