Just because you buy a DVD to watch at home doesn't give you the right to invite friends over to watch it too.

I honestly cannot believe this. I hope I find out it's a hoax.

Luck and Lack Therof

My niece goes down to AC to play the slots. It's her birthday. She plays a game and a light goes off. The thinks she might have busted the machine. Turns out she put in a quarter and won $1800.00 dollars. If she would have splurged for 2 more quarters, it would have been $50,000.00. She did good, took her money she brought down and put it with the winnings.

My luck was not so good. I got to see a late model pick up truck soar through the air. It rolled at least 4 (i think 6) times. A piece of it hit my car. Took out my front grill and bumper and busted a transmission line. So my day was peppered with hunting around for all of this shit i need. Hopefully they will give me a rental.

The kids were here. I took some pics that will be up at some point. Please leave nice comments. And start buying me expensive xmas presents.

that is all...

It had to happen.....

I love this site......this guy analyzes the comics and is usually pretty funny and dead on.

FULL CONTROL

"Macaca" Allen concedes to Webb in Virginia. The Dems now have a working majority in both houses.

I'm sure that gold is gonna fall out of the sky now.

It looks like the fights will start next week. Bush wants Bolton approved for the UN and there are several Dems and at least one Rep that are gonna fight him on it.

In other news. Tom Bradley will coach PSU this weekend. He's the one that's so much fun to watch. Paterno will not be in the stadium. Dr's orders. It's the 3rd game that he's missed in his career.

Say What You Will...

Brittany Spears is a genius.

Any other time of the year and she's front page in 3 news cycles. Say you're getting divorced on Election Day and it gets lost in the shuffle.

Next moves? Stop music career. Get back to fightin' weight. Start porn career.

A New Day......

Frankly? I expected it to start raining money today.

I predicted that Santorum would lose by 7 percent and Swann by 12 percent. The final numbers??

Rendell 60 Swann 40

Casey 59 Santorum 41

That right there was enough to make my night. Rendell's win was a given, but getting rid of that stain on the Senate was worth the price of admission. The scary part was listening to the GOP pundits on CNN say that there will be a "Draft Santorum" movement for President. God help us all.

So, our little corner of the world was taken care of....now what??

NO incumbent Democrat lost.

Let that sink in for a second.

Before I went to bed last night I knew that we got the house. Everyone on the panel said that the Senate wasn't going to happen.

Then, right as I was nodding off, James Carvelle let out a whoop. Turns out that some numbers were coming in that were turning positive for the Dems.

I get up.

We've got the house with a 34 seat margin. And we are 2 seats away from controlling the Senate.

Then, around noon, we gain one more seat. And finally, around 9pm, Virginia goes to the Dems.

Some of these races are close. But all have been called and should hold up. The Dems take the Senate AND the House. Wahoo!!!!

I gotta hold my pockets open and stand outside.....cya!!!

THIS JUST IN........MAJOR

Brittany Spears has filed for divorce from Kevin Federline.

World asks, what took you so long?

Election Night 6:15

First good ray of hope. Rep. pundit Ed Rollins says that large numbers should mean a large Independent turn out. If it does, the Rep's are fucked. Ind's are running against them 2 to 1.

I voted at 6:00 at my rinky dink lil voting area. It was packed and 850 people had already voted.

Election night rocks. I hope to know 95% of what's going on by 11:30

Has anyone been to England? Has anyone seen these slides?

This might actually be words to a song I haven't written yet, but it's a reference to this.

I just read a letter about one man's experience.

BTW....Cat says that they are talking about getting rid of the football program at Mansfield University. No football program, probably no fall homecoming, she says. I think they will still continue a fall homecoming, but it will be far different. People like colleges in the fall, I guess. I know I do. :)

Ladies and Gentlemen. I have sighted the first "holiday" commercial of the upcoming Christmas season.

Lowe's is the guilty party. It's a fairly funny commercial, I'm sure it won't be by about mid December tho.

Let's go kill them. Seriously, pass a law that says you can't air a holiday commercial until Nov 1. I'd vote for that guy.

Into Fantasy? Like your Fantasy Football and Baseball leagues? Try this puppy out.

Sad Day

Sandy West died today.

Most people don't know who she is, but if I say drummer for The Runaways, something may click.

She had lung cancer. She was 47.

Computer people. Firefox 2.0 is out. So far so good.

I'm finally back to work. It's BME Customer Appreciation Week. I'm allowed to take my camera, so I'll have a few pics from work this week.

Later dudes....

100%

Tuesday I'm sitting at my desk at work. I've been on light duty all month and pretty much sedentary since the middle of September when I had the knee surgery.

I get up to go to the bathroom at 5 and chat with Ethyl at her desk. I start getting chest pains and a little bit of pain in the jaw and left arm. I keep moving for the bathroom, getting more and more uncomfortable.

I route my trip back to my desk past my coat so I can get my car keys with my nitro. Go back to the desk and sit down. It's about 5 after.

Five more minutes and I can't take it, I pop the 1st nitro. 5 more minutes, no relief, 2nd nitro. Don't make it another 5 and take the 3rd. Sweating like a pig and starting to get "tunnel vision" I use the cell to call 911.

I let the people in the room know what's going on and things start getting nuts. 911 operator wants a landline so they call. The "emergency response" team for the P.O. shows up. Starting to feel a bit better, but still pretty bad.

Ambulance shows up and we start the whole deal. Stretcher, asprin, oxygen.....and we're off to Harrisburg Hospital. BTW, if you're in the Harrisburg area and having a heart attack I strongly reccommend the Harrisburg Hospital.

I start to calm down when we get there. They do my blood draw in the ambulance (lots of fun finding a vein over the bumps) so that is ready when we get there. They get me in a slot and hook me up.

A few folks come by, the 1st doc orders a CT scan. This is right around 6 o'clock. About 30 minutes later I go up.....wait in the hall for about a half hour, then go in. I've had these before, they shoot you up with dye. Usually I'm pretty good, but this time it feels like it's coming up. Nurses scattering is really fun. They were out of bedpans, so they kick a trash can over in a panic. Fortunately, it was a false alarm.

I go back downstairs. Deb, Chrissy and Mike showed up right before I went up and were waiting when I got back. It took forEVER to get the results back. I didn't get into a room until midnight.

They tell me that it was not a heart attack. There are markers in the blood that indicate that that weren't present. They thought it might be a pulmonary embolism (clot in the lung), hence the CT. It wasn't. So, the only way they can make sure is to do a cardiac catheter.

Up in the room they get me settleed and the gang leaves. Deb stayed at Mike and Chrissy's so they could get my car the next day.

The guy next to me sounds like he's talking in his sleep. Turns out he fell in the shower and twisted his back. It's 1 o'clock. He has to be showered at 4 for open heart. The nurse trys to pawn off some crappy sleeping pill on me and I insist it HAS to be Ambien. It took a while, but I got it. It's 2 o'clock. I do get some sleep, but it would have been zero without the Ambien. They wake me up at 4 and again at 8.

I get breakfast and nod off. The crappy doc from my cardio group comes in. He says that I will have my cath early afternoon. Then he sees my tray. "Is this yours?". Yes, I say. "Then it will be late afternoon". Great

I call Deb and tell her. Then I nod off. Nurse comes in at noon and says "You're going for your cath". Great. So, long story short, it's done in the afternoon, the nurses are cool (and hot) and I'm back in the recovery room. The cath Doc comes out and says I have a 50 percent blockage, 30 percent blockage and 20 percent blockage. Hence the title of this post. But they're gonna cut me loose.

I get to the room and they do the sandbag on the leg. I talk to the nurse about going home and she says...."Oh no, you're not scheduled to". So I get another night of their hospitality. I watch TV and take it easy. The gang comes in and bring the inlaws as well. We hang until about 8. They leave, I stay. I get a good night sleep and they cut me loose the next day.

Everybody at work was very cool. I guess because I scared the hell outta them. :)

They day before all of this I went to Hershey Med to start working on micro doses of Statin (anti cholesterol) drugs. So the plan is to do that, get back on my diet (which won't be hard since I've been pretty close to it). Then, as soon as the Ortho doc clears me, start walking and working up exercise.

And since you were so nice to read this, you can check out the new pics.

So what's new with you??

G.O.P.(P.P.P.)

The Grand Old Party (Protector of Pedophiles and Perverts)

Foley was kinky with a 16 year old. That's the end of the story.

Brit Hume tried to compare him to Clinton. (You knew that was coming)

Dennis Hastert says that it's all poliitical and they're "going on the offensive". What is offensive is that Hastert thinks he's gonna have a job in 5 weeks.

And yesterday Foley checked into rehab because he has an alcohol problem. Today, he says a priest abused him. I wonder what it will be tomorrow.

I think there are very few Republicans anymore. I think there *are* a lot of people who are conservative who've been conned tho.

My Space is Pretty Cool.....

I found a friend from college that I've been searching for on the net for quite some time.

It's difficult enough that, in our society, we hide the women by changing their last name when they marry. No, she had to go and change her first name too. :)

I went to the Ortho doc today. Down to one crutch is the good news. He is saying that there may be an artificial knee in my future though. The optimal word is may.

I must be off to make phone calls and the like. I'll be back to work on monday.

Stuff and Such and Things and That....

Waiting for Deb to pick me up to go to the cardio Dr. It's a follow up from my stress test. I'm still on crutches, at least till Thursday. Knee feels good. I've put full weight on it once or twice and it feels solid.

Hoping to go over to Chris and Mike's tonite to see the new cats and hang out a bit. I don't know if we'll be able to connect tho.

I posted a bunch of pics on the picblog. I've got a flickr account and hope to get that up and running this week. There will be a lot more pic postings. Everything is running now. I'll do a few more on the blog maybe and a bunch on flickr.

I'll admit to being down in the dumps this past week. Hopefully a little fresh air will change my attitude.

Just Call Me......

.....Hopalong.

Hey strangers. I had knee surgery last Friday.

Hopefully, I won't be as groggy in the next few days and I'll start posting a LOT of pictures.

Keep in touch.

Dealing with it....

We're got a full blown heat wave going. We had 97 degrees here today. I've stayed inside and it's been yummie all day.. I did do a few quick projects outsite. But we're on track for our new siding.

Kids are doin well.....chris and mike close on their place the end of the month. We get to help them for a week and then we go to vacations...

It's a very busy summer. I have to go get a pressure washer for the house.

We need other shit from sam's including a pressure washer.....hope to be in decent shape come september.

Big, Big, BIIIIGGGG News

It's a girl.....

Toby and Melanie (well, mostly Melanie) had their baby on Sunday, June 11th at 1:07pm. Ava Elizabeth was 5 lb., 13.5 oz and 18.5 inches tall.

She is a real cutie. Of course, all babies are wrinkles and poop at this point. But I've seen her twice and she is the quietest kid I've ever had the privilege of being around. Very slender, like Mommy, with the tiniest fingernails.

Anyway, I've put the word out, these grandkids are pretty cool so.....I NEED MORE!!!!

You can check out pics of the new arrival on the photoblog.

I spent the weekend in Mansfield, PA. A lot of us who worked at the radio station got together. It was a lot of fun and I recorded my whole airshift. When I get some breathing room, I hope to post it.

If you want "in depth" of the weekend, go to the forums.

My knee is not any better from the fall at work. The Dr. has me going for an MRI next week. I'll keep you posted.

We have a band practice this week too.

Oh, and I forgot, we did the dance recital this weekend as well. (I told you it was a big weekend.) I set up my gear and trained folks Wednesday and Thursday and left Thursday night for Mansfield.

Anyway.....tons of stuff. I'll try to keep posting more now that things are actually happening.
