My foggy brain

Welcome back!I’m still paying for that case of pneumonia last week. The doctor hasme taking two different antibiotics - both bery strong. The result is that I’m walking around half asleep all day and my brain keeps mis-firing. For example, I’m sitting here wondering if I want hot dogs for lunch or should I go […]

two equals one

I saw this online somewhere about a dozen years ago and managed to commit it to memory. The other day my daughter asked me to show it to someone and I thought I’d put it down somewhere a little safer than my memory.

I can prove that two equals one. All you need to be able […]

Found a video

I was wondering around the web just now and ran into this video clip.

I’m not sure what it is about this… It doesn’t qualify as “odd” or “funny” or “strange”, like the stuff I prefer to post here, but there’s just something about it that I really enjoyed.

Maybe it’s the music.
Because the video overlaps my […]

paperwork foul-up sends man to the morgue

This would have to be just be too strange for words. Imagine you’re in an accident and end up unconscious in the hospital. Then imagine that someone somewhere filled out the wrong form and, instead of on the way to an exam room when you wake up, you’re being unloaded at the morgue!
Did I mention […]

I have returned

Yeah, I’ve been gone for a while. While I wish it could have been a week of lying on a beach somewhere soaking up rays, I was, in fact, lying in a hospital bed coughing up my lungs.

I would say that I’m the only person I know who could come down with pneumonia in the […]

Miss me?

You may or may not have noticed I’ve been gone in my absence for a while.

 I just finished a 5-day stay in the hospital because of pneumonia. What I find disgusting is the fact that my 79-year-old mother in law was also down with pneumonia last week and she kicked it in 1/2 the time […]

Least favorite jobs - part two

Okay, since nobody answered my question yesterday about what your least favorite job was, then today I’m going to regale you with the story of my second least favorite job.

Two words: janitorial service.

This was actually my first job. I was working for minimum wage about three hours a night cleaning offices. To give you an […]

Xinha Here! for Firefox

I decided a while back that I really liked using Mozilla Firefox for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that it’s based on the same code as Netscape but not as bloated and hard to navigate as the newer versions of Netscape seemed to be, in my not-so-humble opinion.

One […]

My least favorite job

We were having a discussion recently about the most unpleasant job each of us had ever held. My worst job was when I was in my very early twenties. I was working through a temporary service and they sent me on this job that really drew massive amounts of vacuum.
This company was in the business […]

Where in the world is Hannah, Montana?

The other day I was picking up some dog food and sodas at America’s largest retailer when I walked by the display of posters and saw one of this little blonde girl with the caption “Hannah Montana”. I wondered to myself, “where’s that?” and went on my way.
Then, a few days later, I was at […]
