My complaint is that I'm now getting junk mail from AARP and medicare supplement insurance firms even though I am younger than Lance Armstrong. I'm on beta blockers to keep migraine headaches at bay, and somebody somewhere has sold my info, where it's been decided that I am old due to my HBP prescription. So much for privacy in America. :mad:

Strength to weight ratio

Being sick does have one good side effect: I have already dropped a kilo. Enforced diet, because I don't feel like eating.

The trick is to keep the kgs off when recovering. The Neti will help. Get a Neti. Use the Neti.

I am struck with how generous everyone seems to be, giving everyone and everything the power to make you unhappy. Try being stingy. Next time an idiot does something infuriating say to self, "No, I won't let you make me unhappy."

Third molar on the bottom left side is half gone, used to have a large filling there but needs to be pulled now.:( What should I get, gold/silver/bottle opener?

Definitely the bottle opener. Maybe the titanium one from Paragon could be brazed on?

Not wise to wear loose t-shirts with overalls. My nipples are chafed! :eek:

Run out of shop grease?


My complaint is on behalf of my 4 month old daughter. It sucks when your Dad gives you a cold. It sucks when you can't breathe out of your nose when you are breastfeeding. You try to eat, you can't breathe. You try to breathe, you can't eat. Life can be cruel so soon.

Poor kid!

I didn't move fast enough this morning. We had to go by the doctor to pick up my son's note for missing school. (DId I mention that he is sick, too?) The doctor saw me and ordered me to the lab for a blood test. So I wasn't able to outrun the vampires!

Just hope it comes back negative...

2 things:

On my way to work the other morning, in a 3 lane highway on the far right lane was a tractor/trailor moving some large cargo. A motorcycle cop was in the lane directly left of it (the middle lane) with flashing lights. This is common when moving large stuff. The idiot in the left hand lane refused to pass the cop to her inside. We were going about 35 mph down I-10. Must have been 200 cars backed up behind her. IF there was a such thing as God He would have ordered a meteor to land on this person's car. I had visions of owning a monster truck and running over this idiot.

Next, boat ramps. There is not a more target rich environment if you are looking for dolts. When I get a little insecure about skills or abilities required to make it thru life, I just go to the boat ramp and give myself a pep-talk. If these mental midgets can survive then I won't have a problem.

Or if you are not near water, just go to WalMart and look around.

Funny you should mention it. I rarely go to Wal-Mart, but did the other day. It rivals only the metro in Paris for people watching IMO.

We do drive on the correct side of the road. It's time you Brits modernize your motorways. ;)

Here's another one....

When a thunderstorm rolls thru and the power surges, then one of the smoke alarms won't reset. At 4 am.

I love going to the wallmart to people watch...it always reminds me of a prison commisary...all in this together...most of us anyhow...(when in Belgium, go to an ALDI...same sort of prison or mental institution commisary feeling...tho different crap).
