The Senate failed to come up with a passable health care bill. That's no surprise. It's a bedeviling issue. Anything the clowns would have concocted would probably have been as bad as Obamacare. Now there is talk of voting on strictly repealing it, and a few Republicans, who have voted to repeal many times, are now balking, which threatens to keep it from coming to a vote. The vote should take place, anyway, so that every congressman is on record on how he stands on the issue so voters can decide his/her fate when the time comes for re-election. The current idea is to allow Obamacare to continue for another two years to allow people to prepare for life without it. If that passes, will billions be spent in that span to bolster it? It would be very surprising if that's not the case. They're politicians - they waste other people's money. The swamp endures.
Male sexual aid products are a booming business. There's a full page ad in the Post about the wonders of JackedUp. For weeks there was one about Vesele. Ads for Super Beta Prostate are run frequently on radio and TV. Those three are not even ranked in the top five at prostatehealthcenter.net, which lists Proaxil, Prostacet, Prostanol, Antiiva, ProSta as the best. The first is available at Amazon (two bottles, 120 tablets total) for $70. It is deemed safe by the aforementioned website. Invite Health offers three products, Men's Edge Advanced, Maca Root, and Masculine Hx. I take the first two. I was scared off the third by warnings. They're expensive but they helped me. There are discounts when buying multiple bottles, but it would be wise to purchase only one at first to see if they work. There is also a ring one can use, available at Amazon. It works like a charm. A set of four runs less than eight bucks. The only warning on it was not to wear it for more than a half hour, which had me laughing out loud. I will not use a product that boosts testosterone levels for fear of side effects. Viagra-like products work, but in my limited experience with them they brought on the mechanical and insensitive, something that seemed separate of oneself. Of course, that might not be the case for everyone. It's not easy talking about such things. The male ego persists despite advancing age.
As I was rooting through discarded books yesterday, I came upon a Penguin classic completely unfamiliar to me: The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa. I passed and, after reading about it at Amazon, I'm glad I did. Here's part of the blurb from the book's page, edited by yours truly: "Pessoa died in 1935, a few years short of 50. He left behind a trunk of mostly unpublished writing in a variety of languages. This perpetually unclassifiable and unfinished book of self-reflective fragments was first published in Portuguese in 1982, and it is arguably Pessoa's masterpiece. His prose is often serpentine, his meditations sometimes opaque." The book is about 500 pages. 100 users have rated it, forging to a consensus of 4.4 on a scale of five. Although its sales ranking is impressive, the opinions of those who rated it one star convinced me I was right in passing on it.
My thanks to the gentleman who bought three classics and a book on African art. He is reading in English those books he read in Russian before emigrating. My thanks also to the woman who purchased Calculus for Cats by Kenn Amdahl and Jim Loats, and her companion, who selected Beowulf; and to the woman who settled her tab; and to Herbie, who donated three more books.
