Dominoes

There are five of us in this house. We are all reasonably healthy people. Strep throat apparently doesn't care how healthy you are nor does it care how healthy a lifestyle you live. One of us came down with it and then we all fell to it like a well placed line of dominoes.

Still have to go to work though...maybe my doctor will give me a surgical mask to wear.

Happy Monday all.

Five Simple Rules

Been stuck for along while with nothing of note coming out of my brain. When all else fails, fall back on cheesy emails. Actually I may end up having the wifeling makea nice poster of these using her mad Microsoft Publisher skills. FOr now I am just going to let the wisdom of these soak in.

1. Money cannot buy happiness but its more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than in a Yugo.
2. Forgive your enemy but remember the bastard's name.
3. Help someone when they are in trouble and they will most likely remember you when they're in trouble again.
4. Many people are alive only because its illegal to shoot them.
5. Alcohol does not solve any problems, but then again, neither does milk.

The Wisest Doctor Ever!

After my wrestling match with Mr. Black a few years back I find myself on a restricted diet. Not too much fat or I'll be sick for a day or more. I have a pill that was prescribed by my gastroenterologist that I can take to mitigate the effects. It's called pancrelipase and it augments the low output of my pancreas that came from that whole episode. Ok, enouigh backstory.

My wife found herself referred to a GI doctor and of course we are extreme raving fans of the one that saw me back from the brink. She thought she'd be cute and rat me out to him for my occasional lapse in self control where fatty foods are concerned. His repsonse?

"Well there are a lot of temptations out there. Every now and then you have to look at that cheesecake and say 'I'm just gonna have to hurt." and plow right in."

I love my doctor.

Hi My Name Is Tole...

and I'm an NCIS addict. I love all of the characters and actually respect most of the actors (that's hard to do nowadays.) Good show.

Then there's Pauly (Abby) Perrette. When I was a younger man, I went out of my way to associate with folks like her. The fringe appealed to me..still does truth be told. I like being considered a bit off. Makes me feel unique.

Oh well, enough prattle for now. Enjoy this little bit of happy I stumbled across tonight.



Oh and then there's this...




More to come...

Now That's Comedy...

Chuck Lorre, the creator of Two and a Half Men, regularly adds messages to his end-of-show vanity cards. The one for Monday's episode that said this:

"I exercise regularly. I eat moderate amounts of healthy food. I make sure to get plenty of rest. I see my doctor once a year and my dentist twice a year. I floss every night. I've had chest x-rays, cardio stress tests, EKG's and colonoscopies. I see a psychologist and have a variety of hobbies to reduce stress. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't do drugs. I don't have crazy, reckless sex with strangers. If Charlie Sheen outlives me, I'm gonna be really pissed."

AMEN.
