I woke up this morning with the starts of a migraine headache, Carolyn was developing a slight rash and a sore tongue. We tried to figure out if she had come into contact with anything new.
She felt well enough to go to work, but got worse and went to the hospital, seems she is having an allergic reaction to her own bacteria. Something she suffered a lot from when she was a child, not sure what triggered it but they gave her a crap load of prescriptions.
Seems weird you can be allergic to your own body, sweat and develop a rash.

BBC America Brit TV
Filed Under blogging | 9 Comments
We got cable TV again after quite a while just using “rabbit ear” antennas. I think we finally got sick of watching the same seven channels over and over, so now we have hundreds of channels to surf through.
I have been enjoying the true crime shows, History and Discovery channels and of course the Brit shows on BBC America. Must be missing the sound of several English accents of late, we’ve been watching a comedy series called Coupling. Making us laugh and while watching it the voices in my head have effected a slew of English accents.
For some reason I keep getting them with Welsh accents, weird!
A conversation formed in my head with this welsh couple, so I wrote it up and posted at my other blog, no wonder the wife shakes her head and rolls her eyes so much, she married a loon!

Conversations with the wife

You know my dear, sometimes you talk a lot of inane stuff, I worry about you sometimes,” Carolyn says to me.
“You mean my accent?”
“No, I am used to that, it’s the silly phrases and words and other stuff you come up with, I wonder at times if I am married to a loon.”
“Let me put you straight, yes.”
“Yes what?”
“You did marry a loon, wasn’t that part of my charm?”
“I don’t know that, that wasn’t mentioned in the specs you came with.”
I laughed at that then said, “Billet grilles.”
“What?”
“Billet grilles.”
“What on earth are they?”
“Something you have no idea what they are but you are intrigued and have to find out.” I went on to explain billet grilles are used in the automotive industry to customize vehicles. She seemed perplexed or something when I explained where they went on a vehicle and how cool they looked. She gave me one of her looks and wondered why I would know that as we don’t drive or have a vehicle.
“You know everything don’t you?”
“Not everything dear, almost everything.”
There goes the head shaking and eye rolling again and she walks off muttering something about she could’ve married some millionaire or something!

Open Letter:
To the dude standing at the bus stop pulling food out of a plastic bag unwrapping it, eating the food then throwing the wrappers on the ground. Dude, you are about six steps away from a trash can and recycle bin and you are still littering.
You inconsiderate, uncouth, environmentally unfriendly bastage.
————
To the guy who walked past the same bus stop, dude you walked past the same bloody trash can but still you took a drink from your coffee cup then threw it against the bus stop splattering coffee everywhere. Bet you don’t do that sort of thing in your own house, or maybe you do, you messy bastage.
————
To the Emo couple, you both looked identical and I only knew which one of you was female by the skirt, you’ve both got iPod ear buds in listening to some Emo music no doubt. Yet you are moping along like you are carrying the worries of the world on your shoulders. Miserable, depressing, you need to inject some enthusiasm, some energy, something.
Dang, you looked so depressing you made me want to slash your wrists!

Road Rage Kit
Filed Under uncategorized | 2 Comments
Perusing the King of Swords website and came across the Road Rage Kit, looks interesting, not sure about having some of the items in your car though. Does this defend you against road rage drivers or encourage you to have road rage?

Stuff the grand kids say and do
Filed Under grand kids | 2 Comments
We have had several of the grandkids here (four of them), they have been having fun and getting all excited about Christmas.
Aurianna Jade and Jade Marie were in the office playing with Barbie’s, apparently one of the Barbie’s was going to marry Buzz Lightyear and they were have a wedding party.
Aurianna’s Mom called her from down stairs, Aurianna didn’t hear, so Jade says:
“Your Mom is calling you Aurianna Jade!”
“You do not call me that Jade Marie!”
I laughed and pointed out that is her cousin cannot use both her names then she shouldn’t do so in return.
———————————-
Aurianna’s brother was in the dinning room, he picked up a Tootsie Roll, his Mom told him he wasn’t to eat it before dinner. He disappeared underneath the dinning room table. When he came out his Mom asked what he had in his mouth, to which he wasn’t replying. She made him open his mouth and he spat out the Tootsie Roll.
She told him if he didn’t stop eating candy she wouldn’t put any in his Christmas stocking.
After a short while he grins and says,”Mom I have something else for you to put in my stocking,” and then pulls out a second Tootsie Roll from his pocket.
We all laughed.
