Guy's blog about life with pets in northern mich.

I have probably posted something similar to this before. Doesn't hurt to be reminded, though. Instead of ignoring something, it can feel good to do something proactive, to end an irritating fact of today's life, as we know it. Guy ‘Revenge is a dish best served cold’ From a CBS Newsman: Tips for Handling Telemarketers Three Little Words That Work!! (1)The three little words are: 'Hold On, Please...'

just received this from my boss. She loves to make me feel older than mummy dust. ( She's 3 years younger than me, BIG BLEEPIN' DEAL. ) This time she really got under my skin though, because most of the stuff the 30-something who wrote this, considers to be old, outdated technology, was the stuff that I would have found astoundingly miraculous, when I was a kid. I'm at least TWO generations out of date! REALLY, REALLY, OLD mummy dust! Dinosaur mummy dust! SOB! Guy If you are 30, or older, you... Sign in to see full entry.

Ever wonder why I hold the opinion that all politicians are unworthy of our votes and respect? This is about Democrats, but there is no discernable difference between the political parties anymore. I have seen similar diatribes about Republicans, we all have. I would rather become a crooked cop, than a politician. An executioner. A dog catcher. A dentist. I cannot believe that I am about to say this, but I would rather become an ACCOUNTANT, than a slimy, low down, high-smelling, two-faced,... Sign in to see full entry.

As of this morning, I am beginning the thirteenth day, (!) of my new, tobacco smoke-free lifestyle change. That is really what it is, you know, a complete change of one’s lifestyle. As Strother Martin was fond of pointing out to Paul Newman in “Cool Hand Luke, ‘Ya jist gotta get yore MIND right! ’ ” That, and take Chantix, too. I should feel proud that I haven’t so much as had one puff of tobacco smoke, since tax day, the 15 th, but I know from past experience, that the suffering is just waiting...

Once again, Larry the computer guy, sent me something that I can pass on to you, without being embarrassed, for him. You see, Larry is a dyed-in-the-wool, rabid Republican, but he has many redeeming traits, too. Guy I'm passing this on, as I did not want to be the only old fart receiving it. Actually, it's not a bad thing to be called, as I think you will see. Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events; during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner, Old Farts remove their caps, hold their... Sign in to see full entry.

In the spirit of making a "public service announcement", I thought that you would want to know about this troublesome e-mail virus. Even the most advanced programs from Norton or McAfee cannot take care of this one. It appea rs that the vast majority of those affected were born prior to 1959. Symptoms: #1 Causes you to send the same e-mail twice.. done that! #2 Causes you to send a blank e-mail! that too! #3. Causes you to send e-mail to the wrong person. yep! #4. Causes you to send it back to... Sign in to see full entry.

If it is still possible to buy things made here in the USA, this might come in handy for you. A family recently tried to go an entire year, without buying anything made in China, but was unable to last very long, doing without goods that appear to be produced nowhere else, anymore. It is beginning to sink in, that we Americans are costing ourselves our own livelihoods, by buying cheap, high quality Chinese manufactured clothing and machinery, toys, etc. Last week, I was told about a Chinese made...

My response to Kabu, when she erroneously repeated a slanderous, false rumor! See immediately below! [Re: But of course the Americans haven't used English for Years........and as] Kabu, If you have never read my tongue-in-cheek comments, about the origin of the one I think THE biggest thing, stressing our friendly relationship with the people of the UK, and this one thing separates our citizens culturally. I espouse a theory that the problem springs from our " Common " language. I have been... Sign in to see full entry.

. Everybody experiences a really bad day, every now and then. Sometimes it lasts longer than just a day, turning into a week or more. Life is like that. Don't let it grind you down. Some people have it much worse, and there is always a smile waiting for you, around the next corner, so buck up friends. Guy A case in point: A short guy is sitting in a bar just staring morosely into his drink, for a good half an hour, thinking. Just then this big, trouble-making biker steps up next to him, grabs...
