30 Days of Photos IV - Day 12 - Tremor


Prior to researching today's prompt I thought tremor was like an earthquake and I thought there was a fat chance I'd get a picture of that. Even though where I live is on a fault and we've had mild earthquakes in the past I was sure one wouldn't occur in time for today.

But a tremor can also be something physical. Wikipedia explains it as an involuntary, somewhat rhythmic, muscle contraction involving different parts of the body - but mostly the hands.

Many things cause tremors, among them alcohol withdrawal and caffeine.

Well in my case it couldn't be the former so it must be the latte.

Zip over to Ziva's and see what's shaking respecting today's prompt.

I'm actually not a big coffee drinker, old bean.

Brilliant? I wouldn't go that far. But you can. Thanks 54.

There's a grain of truth in your comment, Deb.

They don't call us #teamlame for nothing. Oh, wait. Maybe that's exactly why they call us #teamlame.

Heh, heh. Your sensibilities aren't brew-sed?

Nice job.

Oh, yeah, Mr. Innocent. Couldn't be the alcohol, could it? Right.

Ooops... I got the pun... what I meant to say, "Couldn't be the former..." Damn... I ruined the whole effect of the comment. That's why I'm on #teamlame...

Oh, okay. Truth be known there was no coffee in that cup. It was a little hair of the dog.

Heaven's no. What are you trying to say?

Oh me me me coffee!!!! Yup! Good call!

Are you singing or drinking coffee, Katherine?

I could use a cup of jumping joe. I'm not wound up enough.

OUCH! But, you salvaged your writing by posting a great hand tremor. If I could have surreptitiously photographed a friend's hand, I would have. She has tremors that she won't get checked by a doc. I want to drag her there myself.

Caffeine is a fascinating drink isn't it. You need it to get going but the more you drink the harder it is to stop.
13 September 2013 at 12:37
nonamedufus said…
Poor Mike. Alcohol might cure that.
13 September 2013 at 12:37
nonamedufus said…
No, I went another route. I didn't want to step on the cat.

nonamedufus said…
That's unfortunate for your friend. I was merely fakin' it.

Brilliant !

nonamedufus said…
Well I wouldn't go that far. But, hey, I'll let you. Thanks.

Cheryl said…
She's self-diagnosed it as age-related and is quite satisfied with that. Damn fool.

Always room for a pun.. What's with the Starbucks cup? Don't you Canadians always prefer Tim Hortons? Or do I have that wrong?
13 September 2013 at 19:09
nonamedufus said…
The cup was a gift. But you're right. Tim Horton's coffee is great.

Always best to run these things by a doctor. I speak from experience.

My Back Pages - November

I know, I know, I know I should have reported in before now. But sometimes real life just gets in the way. I attempted 5 books in November. I say attempted because I slapped a big DNF (did not finish) on Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. I just can't seem to get into this guy. It's the second or third of his I've given up on, Not so the other four, starting with a biography of Stephen Stills called Change Partners. This followed by a hilarious biography of the guy responsible for National Lampoon called A Stupid and Futile Gesture - How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever. I ended the month reading yet another biography, this one of the man behind Rolling Stone magazine,. It was called Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine. A fascinating read. So last month I hit the magic number 50 I'd imagined for myself back in January. If I roll this month into my yearly total I'm at 54 books. And I still hav...

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...
