I didn't feed him people food - the neighboor hood fed him people food - as he climbed in someones open door jeep and wouldn't get out until they took him for a ride.

Hunter's diet has people food in it daily - I don't think he really thinks of it as a treat anymore anyways.

that wasn't an option I80, is 3 blocks away - and 8 lanes of traffic wasn't something I was wanting to witness.

on my way home last night - there was a dog running in the center divide with people trying to stop and get it.

scary.

Having to go to the emergency room. :eyeroll:

I have never gotten out of an ER in less than 5 hours. Whether if it was for me or anybody else. Yesterday it was 6.5 hours. I was having alot of pressure on my chest and some difficulty breathing. It felt like someone was sitting on my chest. I know I'm too young for heart attacks, but I do worry about blood clots and strokes. They run on both sides of my family.

Long story short- after bloodwork, x-rays and scans the problem was basically with my esophagous, either inflamation or a hiatal hernia. The doctor gave me something horrible to swallow that basically numbs your whole throat, esophagous, and stomach. Wierd feeling. :worried: He gave me a shot for the nausea and dizziness and a presciption for Zantac. So I feel somewhat better but my insides are sore (kind of like after you hurl).

The worst part was when they put an over heated homeless man in the same room as me. Unfortuately the curtain didn't keep his stench away or drown out the sound of belching, farting, coughing, groaning, and him swearing at the nurses. Thankfully he didn't stay long. In fact 4 people came and went while I sat there. It reminded of that episode of FRIENDS where Rachel goes to the hospital to give birth, and one pregant lady after another comes in and then leaves to go deliver. Oh well... perfectly nice Sunday, shot to hell. :eyeroll:

Sorry to hear that Tates. Glad you're OK.

But I have the feeling that the homeless guy is bitching to his buds about some chick gagging next to him and how it made him sick.

Heh :chagrin: :wink:

A Big Brother contest that says you can look on-line for how to enter free only to find out that you need to watch the show on how to enter free. Fricken loop. Am I missing something? The show says that we have until noon today to enter.

This is all I could find.

insurance companies - no not my house again.

I got in trouble last night with my org.'s insurance guy... seems we weren't supposed to have a float in a parade - especially a 'flameable' float. :eyeroll:

I tried to tell him the firemarshall approved it.. but he wasn't going for it.

neighbors!

I 'overheard' my neighbor this morning talking to his rideshare guy that he was going to give hell to the 3rd rideshare guy when he arrived.

apparently guy#3 got barked at by my pups the other day so guy #3 chucked neighbors screwdriver @ my dogs and hit one of them! He was actually thinking it was kinda funny that the guy did it - but was mad cause he's now lost a screwdriver, and also was worried that we would tell the landlord and get him evicted.

I wasn't dressed, so I didn't go out and confront them @ the moment - but I called the roomate and he's pissed.

Need to figure out what the best course of action is, without them trying to hurt my dogs.

thoughts?

that would have been an easy fix...they sell a spray you just basically spray paint on it...

is firemarshall approved...

no we did fireproof it. but it wasn't enough for our insurance company - the firemarshall was good with everything.

grrr. stupid ins. this is an event for kids with lots of floats of kids, and we are an org. that HELPS kids and does events WITH kids..

so you think this would be a no brainer for them to figure out.

Nice start to August. Temps surfing the web, I'm taking their workloads thinking they've been overworked (ha, what am I thinkin). Just about enough time to post this. No lunch break, no break, see them all shuffle out the door to go smoke every 20 minutes...

Screw it, I'll make an honest living, let the rest of the world be lazy. Time to buckle down and put some temps out of jobs (my goal is to take as much of their work away as possible, kick them out, give me half their pay).

Probably means I'll need to give up taking time out of my day to post here too, but I figure, show up at 8, leave at 6, bring a bag lunch, I might just pull it off.

Have an eviction sale! :smile:

And you can wash those dreams of getting their pay good-bye KC. It never happens no matter how much motivation it gives you. You save the company 40k they give you a $100 Cub foods gift certificate to thank you. That's how it works. I'll bet on it.

You need to change your priorities and really look at what work does for you vs what caching does for you. You'll figure it out eventually.

Believe me - I've been there. The 'reward' never comes.

My cousin's daughter being really sick on a cruise. She's got a high fever and spots, and the doctor doesn't know what it is. The tests he's run are coming back clear. If her sickness still persists, they'll have to get off at St Maartin to see a pediatrician there, and worst case fly back to the states. It's hard too because she was adopted. My cousin and her husband have had trouble having kids of their own, so she was a blessing to them. It's getting to me because she's our flower girl and we just ordered her dress for the wedding yesterday. She's going to be one this month, and she's not that big to begin with. Sucks not being able to do anything, trying to get on with your life when you're worrying and hoping and praying....

Got word that her fever has gone down to 101, and they think that it's the baby measels. She was due to have her final immunization shot for it two weeks from now. Anyways, they think she's getting a bacterial infection, so they're giving her antibiotics for that. They're between South America and St Marten, and due to St Marten tomorrow at 8am. We're hoping the treatment will work and it will pass soon, considering their location and her mother's sanity.

a friend (via the cult) of mines wife recently passed of cancer & one of the charters has set up a ongoing scholarship in her honor. To raise money for the first year - one of they guys - who goes by the name 'Big' and he built much as Redbear - held a raffle - for $5 per ticket you bought chances to have Big come in to your house and do an hours worth of yard work, in none other than a prom dress that Casey (lady who died) made for him, prior to her passing.

Fast food restraunts. Went through a drivethrough (had a rough night of caching and I just needed something fast to get home).

So they screw up my order. I go in and tell the guy behind the counter, he demanded to see a receipt. The bonehead collecting cash never gave me one. I wanted to tell the guy to look to his right and ask the girl at the drive thru window to tell him she forgot part of my order, but before I could the guy says "Okay fine, I "believe" you" and starts to make a halfhearted effort to correct the problem, But his actions insinuated that I'd been lying to him.

I just threw my hands up and left while the guy keeps yelling "Sir!" at me as I walked out. I left because I didn't feel like being treated as a liar anymore over a dollars-worth mistake on my order. Honestly, if I wanted to steal food it would have been a lot easier with a gun in my hand.

Last time I ever go to that place...

Yeah, I know, I coulda asked to see the manager or for a complaint number to call, but that never covers being insulted, I don't care if they tried buying me off with free coupons or crap like that, The only thing that would have been right was to have a sincere appology from the guy that treated me like that, however I could tell even if if he did, it'd be forced.

Whatever happened to common decency anyways? I suppose that went out the window when the lady tried to sue over a finger she stuck in her own chili....
