Some assembly required.

Words that strike fear into the hearts of do-it-yourselfers everywhere. So it was with our new “microhood”. That is a combination micro-wave and oven hood with an exhaust fan. As such, it must hang from a bracket on the wall and the cupboard above it. The directions were very confusing, then I... Sign in to see full entry.

A most taxing day.

My wife is an accountant so from now till April 15 all her days will be the same, namely horriblistic. Ok, it is a new word I made up in her honor. How can she deal with people who come in and ask such things as, “If I lived in Canada would I have to file a form 1040 eh?” I can’t blame her for... Sign in to see full entry.

Make room for a new state!

You heard that right, a new star is proposed for the flag. Where you wonder would the new state be? Puerto Rico? No, not even close. What has been proposed is for Eastern Washington to become a state of its own. Why? Apparently some eastsiders feel that the “Seattle Liberals” have been having their... Sign in to see full entry.

The Answer is…

I am pissed off. I saw a commercial featuring Ken Jennings, the multi-time Jeopardy winner. Ok, this guy won a ton of money on the show, why does he get a commercial for which he will no doubt get another ton of money, which by the way he doesn’t even need. There is no justice. Any given blogger... Sign in to see full entry.

Paging Dr. Stat!

How cool it must be to be a Doctor. You get to wear the white Dr. coat or the green Dr. scrubs and hang a stethoscope around your neck. People look up to Drs as is they were some kinds of Gods or something. Today I had two doctor appointments so I got to observe these two young women. That’s right,... Sign in to see full entry.

On ageing.

The foibles of age are supposed to creep up on one. My hair has been slowly receding for years. Suddenly, my body has launched an all-out offensive against itself. Within the last six months aches and pains have been a constant companion. Last night I had such severe pain in my shoulder I was... Sign in to see full entry.

What’s the big idea??? Blogit has put a tracker in so we can tell how many times a particular blog or post was read. At first I didn’t like it, since it showed one reader in 23 hours! That’s pathetic. Then I got to thinking it could be an impetus to post more often and at better times of day. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Senior Citizen?

When did this happen? Do I get a cool letterman’s jacket or something? Am I going to graduate in the spring? All it seems I get is to order smaller portions from the house of bland part of the menu. I get older and that’s the reward I get? Hell, give me a discount on all the menu items if you really... Sign in to see full entry.

If the news gives you fits, print it!

First the real headline, Commander of submarine that ran aground reassigned. Gee, ya think? Maybe he just wasn’t ready to drive on of those underwater death machines, what was your first clue? This was reported in The Spokesman Review, Sat. Jan. 22 2005, page A2. When I saw the headline I knew it... Sign in to see full entry.

Bill Cosby, say it isn’t so!

Accusations of “giving medication” and later fondling a 31 year old woman have been leveled at Bill Cosby. The comedian’s lawyer referred to the allegations as “pointedly bizarre” and questioned why she waited a year to come forth. The story was reported in the celebrity news section of the...
