eye catcher

A man was eating in a fancy restaurant, and there was a gorgeous woman eating at the next table. He had been checking her out all night, but lacked the nerve to go talk to her. Suddenly she sneezed and her glass eye went flying out of its socket towards the man. With lightning quick reflexes, he caught it in mid-air. ''Oh my gosh, I am so sorry,'' she said as she popped her eye back in the socket. ''Let me buy you dinner to make it up to you.'' They enjoyed a wonderful dinner together and afterwards the woman invited him back to her place for a drink. They went back to her house, and after some time, she took him into her bedroom and began undressing him. The couple had wild, passionate sex many times during the night. The next morning when he awoke, she had already gotten up and brought him breakfast in bed. The guy was amazed and said ''You know, you are the perfect woman. Are you this nice to every guy you meet?'' ''No, she replied. "You just happened to catch my eye!''

What am I?

I drift forever with the current
Down these long canals they've made
Tame, yet wild, I run elusive
Multitasking to your aid.
Before I came, the world was darker
Colder, sometimes, rougher, true
But though I might make living easy,
I'm good at killing people too.

what am I?

Ramble On.....

---Hey Guys. It was a brisk 66 degrees here today so I guess fall is definitely here. Supposed to be sunny and 71 here tomorrow. I think it rings true to the fact that the older you get the faster time flies, I mean I cannot believe its already October for all purposes. Here we are just a few simple months away from the holidays again!

How would you guys rank your summers? Pretty good? Busy? Too hot? Dreadful? Do tell....

The months of fall always put me in a weird mood, I like to ramble about life a lot. I know you guys have been busy with life's doings and haven't had too much time for the blog as of late and I do understand.

I hope I catch ya here more often in the days to come. I miss you guys........----

Lame lame lame....

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Laura Hathaway initially had no regrets after getting a tattoo on her lower back when she was 21. But now, 10 years later, she wants it gone.

Tattoo removal is more painful than the original tattoo, patient Laura Hathaway says.

The pharmaceutical sales representative from Atlanta, Georgia, says it doesn't fit in with her current lifestyle as the mother of a 2-year-old boy who just started to talk. "The other day I bent over and he said, 'What's that?' and it just confirms why I'm having it removed."

Dr. Scott Karempelis of Atlanta Dermatology Associates is performing a multitreatment laser procedure that will gradually erase Hathaway's tattoo with little or no scarring. The process is painful, expensive and time-consuming.

Karempelis says that in spite of the drawbacks, "business is booming." He and three other dermatologists in his office see more than 30 patients a day who want tattoos removed by laser.

---Hell, my daughter thinks my tattoos are cool because she gets to see animals and fire and cool stars and hearts all over her Daddy's arms, back and tummy. Its pretty hilarious that getting them removed is more painful than getting them done initially. Good, I hope it hurts like fucking hell.

retrospective..

---It feels like fall is literally right around the corner here. Its been in the low 70's here all week and I think the highest the temp. over the next week itself is gonna be 82. Whew, survived another summer.

So, anyone have any fall plans? The only plans I have is me being there, in Chicagoland, November 4th-9th, and yes, that set is stone just finalized the arrangements today boys. Just keep that in the back of your mind for now, Im sure Ill bring it up another 10000000 times beforehand. I do expect to see all you guys though, ok?

Fall always puts me in a retrospective mood, it makes me think of the year that is all but passed and it also makes me wonder whats around the corner besides ridiculous debt over Christmas and my kids BDay....oh well, its only paper with numbers on it to me, I have more important things to worry about than being in debt. I could always claim bankruptcy a little while down the road.

Hope you are all well. I miss seeing your words here even though I know you guys get super busy and sometimes you have to put this on the back burner. Ive been pretty busy myself as of late, but Im not gonna lie, out of all the little things in life that make me smile and happy, its coming to this blog everyday that does it for me at times. Im back to seeing my girl again so that isnt a big stressor anymore. I make time to come here and read and post, it just makes my day a little better!!!---

not forgiven not forgotten

Fossett

By GIGI STONE
Sept. 9, 2007

It has been six days since Steve Fossett's plane disappeared somewhere in Nevada. Even though hope is diminishing that the 63-year-old multimillionaire adventurer will be found alive, there are no plans to scale back the search.

says Civil Air Patrol Major Cynthia Ryan. "I think that you can look at a long-term search on this for at least two weeks. A search of this magnitude typically goes on for that long. We don't always have a famous person in the airplane and this much media here."

The Nevada Air National Guard said it is not ruling out any area without checking it thoroughly

---Is it just me or does anyone else just find this whole story as odd? Granted, or so I have heard, this guy is a big time survivalist, but wouldn't they had found his plane wreckage by now?---

Did you know that...

Portugal is the only country in Europe without meteorite craters?

ha ha

The owner of a drug store walks in to find a guy leaning heavily against a wall. The owner asks the clerk, "What's with that guy over there by the wall?" The clerk says, "Well, he came in here this morning to get something for his cough. I couldn't find the cough syrup, so I gave him an entire bottle of laxative." The owner says, "You idiot! You can't treat a cough with laxatives!" The clerk says, "Oh yeah? Look at him, he's afraid to cough!"

Plastic in the Microwave

Have any of you received this Email labeled “Dioxin Dangers - Microwaving and Freezing”? Kind of scary, it was sent to me via a nurse. Adding insult to injury, recently I had a disagreement over this topic with my wife along with a few coworkers as I am skeptical of its validity. So this Email last night was the final straw. Feeling pummeled in to a corner I did what I should have done long ago and went to my good friend Google. There armed with only the title of this email in hand I went on my search, and to my surprise I was able to find ample writing on the subject (FDA ,USDA,Plastics info.org). In fact most of the writing I found called the contents of this email an urban myth! So now the question is do I finally feel vindicated? Well mostly… turns out that nobody really has a strait answer on this subject. So in short it may be best said that it is prudent to first check and make sure the container you are sticking into the microwave is rated for that type of use no matter the material it is made of. Other wise your wife will continue to look at you smugly with that look that says you are nothing more than a stupid man, no wait scratch that there is no hope of that ever happening. Any how hope you found this info useful.

who took my pants????

WAUKESHA, Wisconsin (AP) -- It was embarrassing enough that Mark Stahnke woke up in a neighbor's yard without his pants. Then he remembered they contained a cashier's check for $41,093, meant for his son, and several hundred dollars in cash.

But he got it all back Friday, including the pants, thanks to a man and his dog.

Stahnke said he doesn't know what happened between when he left the bar and when he woke up the next morning, and police were skeptical when he filed a report on Monday.

"We're used to hearing weird stories, but with his intoxication we figured this one would be different, that the amount of money wouldn't be exact," Police Lt. William Graham said. "How do you get so intoxicated that you lose your pants?"

Stahnke said he had met his son at a bar and doesn't remember much afterward.

"I woke up cold not knowing where the heck I was, and I didn't realize it at first because I still had my shoes and socks on," he said. "When I got up, I realized, my God, I don't have any pants."

Tim Curzan's dog, Joe, found the pants at an intersection, according to a police report. He found the cashier's check and tried twice, unsuccessfully, to deliver it and the cash to where he thought the owner lived.

On Wednesday, the pants were still at the intersection, so Curzan took them to the police, who contacted Stahnke to claim his belongings.

---I tell ya what, the next time I see a shoe or an article of clothing curb side, or in the street for that matter, its really gonna make me think twice about checking them out and yet this still furthers my point of when I say alcohol is far more worse than almost all other street drugs. First of all, you wouldnt find a heroin addict with 41 grand in his pocket, ever, and I dont think a junkie would be caught with his pants down in his neighbors front lawn. Alcohol makes you do and say stupid shit, street drugs dont. Heroin makes you pretty mellow ans kinda euphoric and coke just makes you all zippy. And forget weed, we all know how "stoners" are.

'S'Up fools

Miss me?
Apparently the Library in Asland is closed, like long term. They need to get some budgeting stuff sorted out. And there was no WWW access at the School I was at.
Two whole weeks with no internet, it was kinda wierd.
I can only imagine how many work E-mails I'll have when I get around to checking it. :)

Lots of bike geeking, a fair amount of drinking, some friend making, and some pretty scenery, I'll post pictures when I get them developed (I didn't bring the digital camera).

The Sky Light

In C’s bathroom there is a skylight. Through it you can se the sky and a portion of a large oak tree which sits next to our house. On the first day in our new home, C discovered the window from his bath, and squealed Air plane air plane!!! Since then he is always looking for the air plane when in that room. For the most part we spend that time talking about the green leaves on the tree, the blue sky, and the white clouds. This morning however he squealed something I could not identify while pointing up at the sky light. While re-explaining the green leafs, blue sky, ect I turned my head up and was alarmed to see two beady eyes looking at us!!! It was a squirrel. I then made the mistake of yelling “look it’s a squirrel” and with that C and I were immediately joined in our small bathroom by two large and very excited dogs. It was a lot of excitement to be had in a very small part of our home at a very early 6 am this morning, just thought I would share with the rest of you.
