Critters at the Movies


I am in a bit of a superficial dilemma. Nothing really too pressing and I am not losing any sleep over it. There are way too many issues out there to get my panties in a wad over. This has been on my mind since the situation cropped up. I have had other things going on to distract me so my dilemma hasn’t been a front burner thing.

    A couple weeks back a story on the news got leaked out here in south Florida regarding a Bed Bug attack at a movie theater. It was at an establishment I would never be at anyways and as infrequent I go to the movies anyways and all the times I have gone I have never encountered any creepy crawlies. In the past I have gone to some places that were cheap to get in and they were eventually closed down for rat and roach issues.

    Since Bed Bugs seem to be everywhere now, they have even been spotted in some hospitals and they are the most difficult to make go away; I completely wigged out when I heard the news about bed bugs  at the movies. I am not a movie buff, not one to be at every opening, in fact I probably only go maybe twice a year both because of cost and not enough shows I want to see. Like I said, I have never encountered any bug issues from the places I have watched a movie at and this could just be isolated to this one place but….

    There are a couple of movies that just came out that I would like to see at the movies theater for the effect value but it is now in the back of my mind about taking home some critters. This one lady and her family got bitten alive and her car and home got infested. Unlike most bugs that can be eliminated by chemicals Bed Bugs are not that easy to make go away and now that is in the back of my mind when I think of going to see a movie. I’m not sure what I am more upset over, the fact that this info was reported or that I am allowing one episode to taint my movie going experience.

    I have three choices. I can ignore and go see the movies I want to taking in the fact that I have gone to the two closest theaters many times and never brought home any critters, not go at all anymore and wait for it to become a dvd so I can watch at home or hold out for the new movie complex that will be  opening up soon. Like I said, not a pressing issue but just something to think about.

Swallowing an Elephant

You know that joke/riddle How do you eat an elephant? A-One bite at a time. For most that seems to be the most logical. The elephant is quite large and nobody can just pop one in their mouth but oddly enough there are people out there that want you to over tax your system trying to get one down in one bite. Apparently, there are some lucky individuals out there who can unhinge their jaw and eat an elephant in one or two tries so that sets the bar for everyone else. I am not so blessed to be able to unhinge my jaw and swallow large objects.    My capacity to learn and adapt to familiar things that need to be dusted off and new ways takes more than a day or two. I know the elephant swallowers are in high demand and get cut higher respect but I feel the nibblers are just as worthy. Patience is a skill that has been slacking both in the people who want to try to make a nibbler into a swallower and those who are observing and comparing; even the nibbler wanting to be perfect...

Breathing

When someone asks me how I am I usually respond with okay which means nothing bad or good is going on. When things aren’t so okay I reply with “I’m barely breathing” which means I’m highly stressed out over something. When I listen to meditation videos they always start out with deep breathing, at first, I thought it was kind of silly to concentrate so much on breathing. I also started to notice my breathing when I was stressed out or intensely involved in something. I have two destructive breathing patterns that take place, I either over breath or shallow breathe; sometimes I even subconsciously hold my breath. None of the three poor breathing methods make a happy functioning body. It’s funny to have to learn how to breath properly because it’s something we do automatically.    With some unknown allergies or on and off sinus issues I already face upper repertory struggles at times. When I over breath due to some hidden or not so hidden stress I notice changes in my bod...
