How many times to you have to let someone walk all over you before you’ve had enough? Does it matter if they’re family? What if you’ve apologized and they wouldn’t acknowledge the apology? Does it still count? How do you politely tell other family members to butt the hell because out it’s your life?

Great, I’ve pissed off the TV gods…
I sat down to watch Grey’s Anatomy tonight. Well, the 6 minutes I saw here good. Very good. Until the freaking ABC affiliate decided to die. AUGH! Why does this never happen with reruns? Crap. You know those seven words you can’t say on television. Yeah. I’m thinking all of them right now.

Have I mentioned lately that I hate my freaking job?
In case I haven’t, medical transcription sucks. I’m sitting here pounding my already arthritic fingers to the bone with trying to listen to these people who makes a hell of a lot more money than me and can’t think for a hill of beans. Every single report I’ve typed today (9 so far) has been [...]

Here’s the new floor…
Not quite finished, I think this was after the second coat of goop – I’m so technical. I like it. What do you think?

Friday Nights at the Drive In
Don’t come here looking for any racy stuff. I usually went to the drive-in with my parents or friends in my later years. Mom and Dad used to take Missy and I to the drive in occasionally – I suppose whenever dad had the night off. I can remember the big playground areas where they [...]

Drunken babies
The Minneapolis tribute had this story tonight about a 3-year-old girl with a blood alcohol level of 0.12. What the hell? Sounds like my mom. As we all know she’s not going to make mother of the year at this point, so I can probably tell about the time I got drunk when I was [...]

I am an antique
I was at the library yesterday doing some genealogy work for RAGOK which involved looking in old newspapers. Not ancient newspapers, as a matter of fact, I think the oldest one was from 1977, but old enough. I realized how much Omaha has changed in just 30 years. For one thing, ground beef was only 65 [...]

A long and winding post
You know, I’ve written this damn thing about 10 times and keep deleting things. To heck with it. Maybe it won’t be so long and winding.
The floor is done and looks great. The dogs are all doing fine. Summer is over too fast. The RS broadcast wasn’t anything outstanding, but the cheesecake was. I enjoyed [...]

my television addiction
Wow, tonight was a great night for television, I didn’t know what to watch first! Two new Law & Order shows (CI and SVU) – not too thrilled about CI though, I don’t think it was a Vincent D’Onofrio (?). Those are my favorites. I recorded them to watch tomorrow. Then, I watched the Croc [...]

Oh yeah…
The reason we were moving the piano? I’m getting a new wood floor in my living room. Praise the Lord! Finally! The carpet in the living room was 25 years old! And with 4 dogs I’m not even going into what the place smelled like. The irritating thing was I could never actually catch a [...]
