Not long ago I was in a store of a big german electronic dealer (Conrad Electronics) and was just looking at some computers when I noticed a older guy talking to one of the clerks behind me. He was interested in buying some ASUS System (some dual ...

In a way it's not so dumb after all as there was a real connection back in the day. I had a very reliable source at Apple in 1995 that Microsoft might just swallow an Apple, whole. We had the same conversation with my Mom and executives at DEC ( D...

Complications and other things

So I'm doing better. Still having a few complications from the surgery, but I'm doing much better. Not sick or as weak as I was. I was even able to run a mile on Friday so that's good.

Anyway I'm getting a little bored with always blogging about depressing things and how much stuff sucks. So I'm going to try and be more positive from day to day. I'm already looking forward to Christmas because I'm going to go see my parents for the holidays. Also I'm going to take Betsy to see Santa for the fir… Continue

A Phrase That I Really Hate

I really hate it when people say "like a red-headed stepchild". I hate it because it's offensive! I mean come on, because a child is a step child and has red hair they're worthless? Why does this bother me so much? Well because I grew up as a red headed step child. Whenever someone uses that phrase it reminds me of all the happy times I had as a child being locked in the closet by my stepmother or other abuse she inflicted on me which I won't go into.

My favorite memory was when I was 5 years o… Continue

Re: Crowd control from earlier post. Yep. Look like a Mexican bandelayor (sp?) so many weapons - so much ammo. Hell - I have to hire three men and a boy to carry it. 20 Gauge shells - at least 40 boxes. .32 cal ammo - at least 20 boxes. And my my bro must have 30 boxes of 410 ammo and 50 boxes of .22 shells. My Uncle was a Y2K freak!! He was set set and ready. You would not believe the amount of s### we found. Really.

WRT the grandparents house. Guess you made out well there. Sell the land to Walgreens. My Uncle situation is similar. The area is one of the most desirable in Atlanta. Developed initialyy in the the 40-50s. Less than 15 min walk to downtown and you would NOT believe you are in the middle of the city. Mature trees. Beautiful area. Anyway - they buy houses that were built in the the 70s. Knock then down and build million $ mansions.

I think of you and your honorable husband. God bless.

BTW - Pee on the Desert Eagle. There is a bigger one and when the dust settles Ima gonna get on. :-))

cheers

I hope that you and your baby are doing good. All is well here. I am just running myself into the ground. ha ha

At 5:33am on October 30, 2009, HonRevJoWazzoo said…: BTW - how are you?? Better? Cheers to you and the hubby!!

Actually - with my pathetic eyesight, I thought your avatar was Monkey on a stick - a dilicacy in the Phillipines. [Speaking of that - have you ever had the rare Japanese delicacy Blookers? Yum!!]

My brother got a .22 semiautomatic and a Mossberg 410. I really wanted the .22 rather than 2 shotguns but what the hell. We also found boxes of .25 cal ammo but never found a weapon. :((

Heh. We also got 4 cars - least mileage = 2 K, most 13 K or so. We looked like an army convoy coming back.

cheers bye

BTW - you know this d00d Kenny. :-)) hehe

Net some goodies from my Uncle -

Colt 32 revolver
Ithica Model 37 20 Ga pump - quant = 2 with 3 chokes/barrels
Tear gas revolver = 8 shots. Make my day MoFo.
Tear gas - single shot.
Mucho rounds ammo - can you say stand off for a coupla weeks?

Unfortunately - no Desert Eagle. :-((
