Double A Penny - Step 20 - Don't Provoke A Klingon

The Klingons and Romulans never really got along and this little Galactic incident isn't going to make things any better.

You see my wife gets the Better Homes and Gardens magazine and I happen to be sitting around and picked it up to entertain myself. I opened to the inside back cover of the May 2009 Issue and was surprised at what I saw.

Kellogg's had a full page advertisement for their cereal and especially for what you would find inside the box of specially marked packages.

In wonderful living color Star Trek Beam up Badges lit up the page with Tony the Tiger's hand held in the familiar split fingers Vulcan hand sign, the connotation being "Live Long and Prosper".

Neat, I thought, as my old Star Trek memories came flooding back. I gotta get me some of those. But it was going to be hard seeing I am lactose intolerant (can't drink milk) and allergic to sugar (Frosted Flakes has a heap of sugar). So eating cereal is a real risk, but I will do it anyways just to get some of those stinkin badges.

But then I noticed "It" at least unconsciously, in the back of my mind "something" was saying there is "something" desperately wrong here. After studying it and the nagging feeling that "something" wasn't quite right continued, it began to make its way into my conscious mind.

They had it wrong. Someone had labeled the Klingon badge as being the Romulan and the Romulan Badge as being Klingon. Ohhhhhhh Myyyyy.

Wow, I thought, I wonder if I am the only one that has caught this faux pas. This is not going to help diplomatic relations or galactic peace between the Klingons and the Romulans.

As a side note, that really has nothing to do with Klingon Shakespeare ("Shakespeare is good in English, but you need to read him in the original Klingon ...") or Romulan Ale, one of my favorite errors regarding the use of the Klingon language is Frasier at Freddie's Bar Mitzvah.

Back to DTAMP. I wanted to introduce a new Doubling friend. Proverbs Woman read though every post on my blog and even caught an error that I would have never found. Thank you, thank you , thank you (in my best Gomer Pyle impression).

She has been working at Doubling for a while. Please visit Her Blog at:

I did take my wife out for the Chinese Dinner to celebrate going from Step 19 to Step 20 and use the $35.10 that was an overage in that transition. Total cost was $35.83 with Tip. The meal was great, we had General Gao's Chicken, Pork Fried Rice, Chicken Fingers, Chicken Teriyaki, Pork Lo Mein and Wonton and Hot and Sour Soup, oh yes and that great tea.

Although it was expensive we did get about 6 meals out of it for left overs, so each meal cost about $5.97 each. I tend to be frugal even when splurging.

I forgot to bring home my fortune from the fortune cookie but it was relevant to my present situation, as it usually is.

I haven't made any money for DTAMP. I am in another trade with NLY and at one point I was up around $60.00 but didn't take it. I had gotten a certified letter that day with typically disturbing news and this threw me and I started to mess up with trading.

I ended up getting stuck in two trade, one personal, that has been a going badly as well.

When trading one must seclude themself from outside stimuli. Distractions and troubles will foul you up. The problem is trouble seems to track you down, it is very rude and obnoxious. The worst possible thing that can happen seems to always happen at the worst possible time. You can almost count on it.

So the latest Doubling Trade is holding me up. I almost got out on Friday when there was about $7.00 profit but I decided to hold it in case it shot up. Instead it collapsed.

Lets see how next week goes for it.

Live Long and Prosper!
