What did I spend my money on before I had 5 dogs?

I went to the pet store tonight to get a “few” things.  My heck!  I spent $131 before I knew what hit me.  I got another dog bed – $49 (but it matches my sofa!), 2 belly bands (which were both too small so I have to take them back.  Don’t believe it when they [...]

The Weird Herald needs a proofreader

Out local newspaper is pathetic, just pathetic.   These were in the obituarites just today.  (Don’t even go there.  I already read the obituaries.)

Young, Jeffrey (Memoriam)
 

The family of Joseph Barber (passed away December 28th (Who?) would like to thank everyone for the beautiful flowers, cards, and prayers.

Blue Monday and Thank God for Propane

I’m freezing.  Seriously.  I think my hands were blue earlier.  It’s like 9 below zero.  What the heck?  Mother nature is certainly the jokester isn’t she?  We have fall and winter, all the way into mid-January with above normal temperatures and then – BLAMMO!  She socks us a good one.  With not enough snow either, [...]

Being on call sucks and other thoughts from the weekend

I’m on call this weekend for the first time since starting to work for the hospital.  From midnight on Friday until midnight on Sunday.  Which, for the normal person would probably not be a problem.  However, I don’t sleep.  I think I’ve mentioned this about 10,000 times, but I have to have Ambien to sleep.  [...]

And Charley is what?

From the KETV-Channel 7 website.
 OMAHA, Neb. — Even though KETV NewsWatch 7 Meteorologist Chuck McWilliams is on duty in Iraq, he was able to watch his family grow here in Omaha.
Chuck watched by webcam as his wife Lisa gave birth to a baby boy on Friday.
The couple named their son Charley.
He’s six pounds, 15 ounces, [...]

Singing fish?

When I make typographical errors I seem to be obsessed with marine life.  And I’m not talking the “We’ll make a man of you” marines either.  Semper Fi! 
Tonight while typing several EGDs I’ve been typing vocal cods instead of vocal cords.  Maybe that’s just a variation of having a frog in your throat?
Reminds me of when I worked [...]

Weather Channel versus Omaha meteorologists

Here’s the story… Our weather persons (no way am I going to spell meteorologist again) have been saying for 2 days now that we’re going to have “significant snow” between Saturday and Sunday.  It’s supposed to start snowing tomorrow we’ll have an inch or 2 and then it’s supposed to stop until Sunday when it’s [...]

Ewwwwwww, just ewwwwww

 I’m thinking I wouldn’t WANT to live in this place again.  Ick.  Poor guy. 

Hm, a bit melancholy are we?

When I think about you leaving and being here alone
It’s not the love we knew that hurts me
But the love we could have known
I’m not sorry that I held you
I just wish that I still could
Oh it’s not that it was so bad
It just could’ve been so good
I don’t regret one moment that we had [...]

Hysterical (anti) Mary Kay Poetry

Pink Truth has it going on over there today.  A couple of these have actually made me cry I was laughing so hard.  I had to share a couple of my favorites.
 There once was a woman from Dallas
Who lived in a pink frothy palace.
She peddled a dream
By selling face cream
To anyone born with no phallus.
