Open Letter: woman on the bus
Filed Under open Letter | 4 Comments
Open Letter to woman on the bus, who I know will never read this post.
Lady! Your eating habits are atrocious.
I sat down next to you and you were tucking into a bag of Cheetos like a ravenous lioness ripping a gazelle asunder. You were smacking your lips and sucking your teeth, slobbering everywhere. Dang annoying and gross.
Then you looked at your orange tinged fingertips and licked them off in great slurping sounds and proceeded to wipe your hands across your pants.
Really classy!
Maybe it’s because I spent all weekend sick and it was Monday morning, or maybe I am becoming a cantankerous old man.

Like herd of elephants
Filed Under uncategorized | 4 Comments
That’s how I feel, like I’ve been run over by a herd of elephants. Both the wife and I are sick and guzzling Theraflu like it is going out of fashion. We’ve been laying around feeling sorry for ourselves and watching movies.
I think we need a vacation, go away somewhere and relax with no stresses or worries. This is first time I have been on the computer all day, which is rare as I usually check mail on a regular basis. So I must be sick.
When Carolyn showed me a site for interior furnishings and mentioned a nice wall sconce she liked, I just couldn’t get interested. Who comes up with these names any how? “Sconce”

Home Theater
Filed Under wife | 5 Comments
Carolyn was perusing a site that sells popcorn machines and other related cinema stuff. She said she would love a little table top popcorn machine and even suggested turning the office into a home theater.
That would be a great idea, we could have some love seats and snuggle up and watch a movie and not have to pay through the nose for concessions!
We know a couple who have a home theater that is tacked on the end of their living room and is long and thin, theater seating and a huge screen at the end.
Would suit me fine, we were planning on a bigger TV soon anyway, they have some great media cabinets too which is something we are looking for too, media cabinets.

A guy in the UK was fined in court for being out in public feeding pigeons wearing only a thong, he had that on backwards and was apparently drunk.
Children where walking past while he was doing this and some complained.
Dude, I think most guys should be fined for wearing thongs the right way let alone backwards!

Fed up of reality TV
Filed Under uncategorized | 4 Comments
Some minor washed up celeb is on the TV bemoaning his life and how he just got through drug rehabilitation, he was asked what he would do now and he suggested maybe he would go on some reality TV show. Great! Yet another has been acting like a prat on TV, with the glut of reality TV shows I am getting fed up with them. I know they are cheap TV for the companies to make, but I get burnt out on the people acting out like children.
I am surprised there isn’t a Drug Rehab reality show. All the crappy celebs compete to beat their addictions on TV with those that get caught sneaking a drink or a hit of their poison, eliminated off the show.
Although there is probably already a version of that show on some channel somewhere.
I’ve been watching the true crime shows a lot lately instead of the reality shows, but they are getting a bit much of late, repeating a lot of the same stuff. There is only so many times you can watch about Manson and his ilk. Maybe I’ll check out the Discovery and History Channel shows.

All is quiet with the world relatively
Filed Under grand kids | 3 Comments
Okay, so rather than dispensing dollar bills I have found another way to not just keep the grandkids entertained , but the kids and the wife too.
High School Musical II is on and they are all singing and dancing away downstairs, Gage is sitting there swaying side-to-side and rocking his head to the music, Jade is dancing away with her Mom. If Aurianna and Alec pop over they’re all be doing synchronized dancing and singing. They knows these movies inside out and have the words to the songs down pat.
More fun than finding soggy dollar bills all over the floor, Gage eats them if you don’t get them off him quick.

Grandpa suckered
Filed Under grand kids | 6 Comments
The kids and grandkids are here, or some of them are at least. Jade and her 14 month old brother Gage were using the couch as a trampoline when I came in. Jade hugged me and told me she loved me, Gage just hid his face and cried. I tried all manner of stuff to get him to stop, he did briefly for a cookie then started again.
He just wasn’t having grandpa in his face, that is, until I opened my wallet and was counting some money, then he stopped. He reached over grabbed a dollar bill, gave a big smile and was all happy and grandpa was the best in the world.
14 months old and he suckered me for a buck!

BBC News Friday: Stingray kills woman
Filed Under BBC News | 4 Comments
BBC News Friday: Stingray kills woman. I saw the story of a stingray jumping into a boat and knocking a woman over and they both ending up dead. Dang, those things are dangerous, several people have been struck by these rays on boats. I saw a video somewhere of a woman videoing from a boat and a stingray jumping up and impaling her with its barb.
Don’t think I’ll take any boat trips where Stingrays are about.
In other news, I saw a car cover site and they have “canine covers”, I know of course they are for putting on your car seats to protect them from pet dander. But you know how my mind works!
“Hey Bob, what’s that thing covered in the corner?”
“Oh that, that is Rufus our Pit Bull, he is under the canine cover pretending to be a side table.”
“Okay! How’s that working for ya?”
“Not good, try balancing your coffee mug on there, it spills and then you get your face ripped off!”
