Thoughts on the Day

  • My rheumatologist might not take it too well when I tell her that my prescription anti-inflammatory doesn’t do as good a job as three aspirin.
  • I’m so glad I had something to drink when I was meeting with people today.  It kept me from getting in trouble when the first thing that popped into my head was “Were you born this stupid, or did you have to work at it?”
  • When we went to the store today, Boo asked for a treat.  I told him we were going to have pizza for dinner, and that was good enough.  Then he asked for a toy, and I told him he already had enough toys.  Then he said we needed to get a puppy, so Moonshine would have something to take care of.
    • The boy definitely has a future in either sales or union negotiations.
    • No, we are not getting a new puppy.
  • Today was “Cut across three lanes of traffic to get to my off ramp” day in Louisville.
    • Is it just me, or does everyone freak out when people drive like idiots around their new truck?
  • After the dog licks the slice of pizza, the slice of pizza belongs to the dog.

    “Today was “Cut across three lanes of traffic …”

    I know what you mean, Daddy Bear. I’ve had drivers run a red light right in front of me – twice at the same intersection – on the same day. (Grant Line Rd. at the I-265 off ramp.)

    The second time it happened, I remember thinking: “What?! Is there a cloud of imbecility hanging over this intersection today?”

    “Today was “Cut across three lanes of traffic to get to my off ramp” day in Louisville. ”

    That happens here in Jersey, but only on days that end in “y”.

    Other than the rheumatologist, it sounds like you and I had a similar day.

    I once told a (young) pharmacist that I used aspirin as an anti-inflammatory, and she told me it wasn’t. I didn’t argue, but it was still listed as such in the Merck Index in the 90s. I wonder what they teach them nowadays…
