Chilling

Don't make the mistake of speaking out against TSA in Janet Napolitano's America. You might be visited by federal agents. Seriously, wouldn't they WANT this kind of input??!?!!

Does anyone else see this nation rapidly headed toward becoming a police state? Full body scans in order to use the only viable form of long distance transport suckled by the Federal Teat...Random bag searches starting on the D.C. metro...FCC giving itself permission to regulate the internet (what would Al Gore say??)...and yet these same politicians won't adequately deal with our southern border. I guess we know who the Feds see as a threat.  It's us.

These are the Things I Can Do Without

The word is "jewelry", not "joolery". I heard this today in a so-called expert sound bite on the radio news.

"Epic" is being seriously (Epically?) overused at the moment. It's often paired with the word "fail" which really means "failure"....on and on.

"I call bullshit".  Really? I call you a coarse, uneducated hick.

Lastly, deleting your bitchy, mean Facebook posts doesn't erase the fact of your bitterness. It only demonstrates your cowardice in addition to your decrepit intellect.

Assorted WTF

In no particular order.

When we have some of the best highways in the country, why can't people drive the speed limit on wide open roads, and why can't they get the hell out of the left lane?

Why are liberals so vitriolic and bitter toward a woman who holds no elected office? Oh, that's right, because you think she's a stupid little hick woman. Sure. That doesn't sound misogynistic at all.

How does anyone in this company have time to stand around talking and wasting time like I see them doing every day, and then leave at 5pm?

Today's Oddness

It's no secret that playing rugby takes a toll on one's body and I'm no exception. As I am now midway through my third season as a forward (and about to turn 40) it's become evident that I need to go to a sports medicine Doc to get my right shoulder looked at. The pain has been escalating all season and is now bad enough that it's affecting my sleep. MRI here I come. So I finally made an appointment!


As further evidence of today's excitement, a new garage door opener was installed at my home today. After 2 months of a totally non-functional opener, it made an immediate difference! I actually highly recommend it. For a grand total of about $400, it's like night and day...quieter, smoother and just better. It's nice when something actually works right on the first try.
  I've been struggling with bad dreams for the past several weeks. Although I've attributed it to the stress of Thanksgiving visits and a hell of a lot of pressure at work, the dreams continue. They're not night terrors where I awaken screaming, but they are generally very unsettling. One recent example involved me returning to a home (mine,  but not the same house as my current home) to find all of the windows smashed out and my cats missing. Last night I dreamt that I got into a terrible screaming match with my mother (a recurring theme for many years in my dreams) involving disagreements over many family issues, criticism of me, etc. Sweet Dreams!
