Last night, I typed up this long story about Mark and one of his jobs and I went to post it and my Internet Explorer crashed. So I type it all in again, except I tell the stroy in a slightly different way. I thought it flowed better and when I went to post it my Internet Explorer crashed again. SO I rebooted, typed up the lame post from earlier and went to bed.
I really am not happy with IE 5.5. I haven't noticed any improvement and it seems to crash more. So if your happy with IE 5.01 don't upgrade. Not yet anyway.
Let's see if I can get the story posted this time. Mark used to live here in Louisville and he had a job with this firm. Now Mark is legendary for his tardiness. He could tell you that he was heading out of the house right now and you would see him 3 hours later if he showed up at all. To tell you the truth this never really bothered me or most of his friends. It was part of Mark's personality and it was something you had to accept. Hell, we enjoyed giving Mark a hard time about it. Anyway, he had this job and he was continuously late and some days he wouldn't show up. They started to give him a hard time about it and he told them that he was clinically depressed and that his medication made him sleepy. When they heard this, not only did they not fire him but from then on they were always asking him how he was doing and if he was tired. They even offered to bring in a couch so he could take a nap if necessary.
When he told me this I could not believe my ears. Have you ever gotten away with something outrageous at work? Let me know what it was.

I'm feeling much better. Thanks to those who asked.
I got to talk to a friend of mine I haven't seen in two years. Mark Cramer. He lives in Cost Rica and from the way he talks about it, it is heaven on earth.
I hope to get down there and see him sometime.
Good night.

So last night I slept like shit because I can't breathe. I can't breathe because my head is full of snot. Its amazing how much snot the human body can produce.
I got up about 10AM and I got to the doctor at about 11AM. Of course, I didn't have an appointment. Two hours later I finally get to leave the waiting room to get my blood pressure checked and a small blood sample taken. I talk to the doctor for about 5 minutes and I am out of the doctor's office at 1:20PM. By the time I get the prescription filled and get home its almost 2PM.
There is one good thing to come out of this. I have discovered Kleenex Brand ColdCare Tissues. Kleenex Brand ColdCare Tissues have three germ-blocking layers to help catch germs and keep them away from those you love. Because of all the things families share, germs shouldn't be one of them. Available with or without lotion.
I, of course, got the Kleenex Brand ColdCare Tissues with lotion. They are so soft and feel so good that my bunghole is jealous of my runny nose.
*sniff*
Good night.

For some reason since I started using this Blogger service, I feel the need to post something everyday.
I'm still sick. Actually, I am thinking about going to the doctor. Every year I get a head cold that goes into my ears and then I can't hear properly for weeks to come. I might try to head this one off at the pass. I feel pretty shitty but it hasn't moved into my ears, yet.
*sniff*
Good night.

I'm getting sick...
Stuffy head, cough, beginning of a sore throat and I just sneezed on my keyboard.
Work is going to suck tomorrow, today, whatever.

I mentioned early this morning that I hate applesauce. As an adult I realize that there is nothing in applesauce that's bad. Apples, cinnimon, sugar. But when I was a child I always thought applesauce just looked disgusting. One day when I was probably about 6 years old I was at my Grandma's with my Mother and my Mother made me eat applesauce. She thought it was ridiculous, I assume. I put a spoonful in my mouth and I don't remember how it tasted but I proceeded to gag and then vomit.
I know I had built it up in my mind that applesauce was so repugnant that if I tried to eat it I would throw-up. If I tried applesauce today I would probably not vomit.
But I'm not going to find out because I'm not going to try it.
Because I hate applesauce.
I could probably use my applesauce story as a metaphor for racism. People hating something just because that was what they grew up thinking. But I'm not going to, because that just makes my hatred of applesauce seem even more silly.

GOD! I love Fall!
According to weather.com the temperature is 50°F with a windchill of 41°F. What this says to me is we will probably not see another day with a plus 90° temperatures. Fall has got to be my favorite time of year. With Winter a close second. I know a bunch of sun-worshipers that growl everytime I say this. Whinning about the cold. I would much rather wear an extra shirt to keep warm than to be miserable in the hot Summer. Not being able to sleep because its to damn hot. Leaving a wet spot in your bed for no good reason. (I'm not talking about bedwetting for my younger readers.)
All of the best clothes for men are more comfortable in the Fall and Winter. I admit that there are some outfits that women wear that won't be seen again for a few months but I can deal with that.
There is one other thing about Fall and Winter that I love. The first snow. It's just one of the things a carried with me from childhood. (That and my hatred of applesauce.) I have always loved snow. Now that I'm older, I love it more if I don't have to get out into it but I still love it.
Good Night, Morning, whatever.

"Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid."
I have an update to the breast augmentation study. I found out another one of my friends recently got breast implants. Apparently many women who get implants feel the need to show the "work" to other women who are thinking of getting or have breast implants. This is why I would like to announce to all women with breast implants that I am considering getting them. If you could recommend a doctor and show me a sample of his work, I would appreciate it greatly.
Until then, I'm going to the bar.

When I was around eleven years old. My Dad and I were driving somewhere. I don't really remember where we were going but that doesn't really matter. My Dad was a pretty good upstanding citizen. We lived in a small town of about 8,000 people. My Dad had a good sense of humor and was well liked. On this drive my Dad told me the funniest story he had ever told me.
Every year the town had the Jaycee's Picnic, My Dad was a Jaycee and he would help out at the events. He was at one of these events in the middle of the summer and he was taking a break in a lawn chair drinking a Stroh's of course.
Him and this other woman were just sitting across from each other in lawn chairs. They had been talking for a few minutes and all of a sudden the woman stood up and walked away. This was pretty odd because they were in the middle of a conversation.
This was in the late 70's and the style of shorts at the time were pretty short. It was summer and my Dad was wearing shorts. At this moment My Dad, noticed that his left nut was hanging out of the bottom of his shorts.
It was at this point that I laughed so hard I probably pissed my pants.
