ridiculous!!

I just recieved business cards that I didn't order!! yipee and they
even have a note from the boss saying happy new year and that our
department is environental leadership at work!? WTF well then why did
you your employees who probably never use them business cards??
oh right they are printed on recycled card stock that makes it all
better.

I'll put these with the other ones that are now obsolete with the
wrong city and .......... gasp were too early to have senior in front
of my title. With this new found gift I can start the new year off
right!
thanks, but once again you really really shouldn't have.
I'll put it right next to the blanket you gave me last time for
getting radiated!
happy new year.

Hate

** I just remembered something I was pissed off about on Saturday and meant to post.

I was leaving my nephew's soccer game on Saturday and I was parked by the Bullard Baseball diamond and I noticed the bumper sticker on a truck I am guessing for one of the Bullard baseball players that were playing.

It was the typical classless Calvin(the real Calvin would have never stood for this well at least in my opinion) peeing on something. I did a double take and i noticed it was the Gay Flag. How cute ! Regardless of personal or religious beliefs that people may hold how could this kid's parents think this is appropriate?! No one would tolerate a sticker similar to that that was racially directed, and honestly at least in my opinion this isn't any different.

Update-Epi =(

Epinephrine did finally come home that rainy night, but it was obvious something wasn't right. She was wet and dirty and her stomach looked swollen and she could barely meow. Her mom and dad took her to the VES(we all know what that means..chiching ching ching) but there wasn't anything they could do for her even with a black American Express card. Apparently there is a virus that almost every cat has called the Corona virus, however stress, age or other environmental factors can trigger it to attack the immune system thus becoming FIP.

We are all thankful that she came home so that she could be helped and so that we could know that she isn't suffering but the logic doesn't make it any easier to handle. In kitty years for our family she was just a spry young thing and it was just too soon for her to go.....especially since I finally got her to let me touch her again.....It has been a major bummer.

Rest in Peace kitty, I hope there is a stuffed animal named Goose Goose with you wherever you are.

Epi

Dear Epi,

I know we have had some rough times over the years. I know you may not
have fully forgiven me for that time when I stepped on you as a kitten
and squeezed the poop out of you. I may not have completely forgiven
you for slashing mr up like Freddy Kruger when I tried to untangle you
that one time. Still I loved you even as every time you saw me you
arched your back and hissed at me. A few weeks ago you came by for the
first time in years and rubbed on my hand and I thought we had turned
a corner, but now you have gone missing. I hope you read this and head
home quickly because we are all worried sick, especially your mom and
dad. As a loving auntie I will buy you an entire box of fancy feast if
you come home tonight And I'll even scratch you.

love,
c

it's getting cold

every time I stay still the animals pile on me. I think they are a
little cold.

tower dogs

We went here for the first time today and I have to say tht it is
good. I had the mexi dog and bo had the caliente dog. I didn't mind
paying the four bucks, it was plenty of food for us, and it tasted
great. My hotdog was delicious with the chorizo and I have a definite
weak spot for fake cheese with the jalapeños adding a little crunch. I
heard some sniffling from the other side of the table so I am guessing
the habenero was at least a little spicey an looked good with the
grilled peppers and onions. We will definitely be back a good local
spot that we can grab food for two for ten bucks.

game on

I see you house down the street. with your lights and your webs but
you are about to be left in the dust! I would put out everything but
then it gets jacked thanks to the sweet neighborhood kids.

She's bAck

sweet pita is back in action as of last night. I guess it wasn't the
color she was hating it was that she was suffering from a variety of
health issues that now have been addressed. I liked the service I
recieved at Sebring West, they aren't cheap but sometimes it is worth
it to pay for someone who knows what they are doing. This is the best
she has ever run and now I have an e-brake and a heater so I am in
good shape. Bring on the hills and the cold weather!!

9

I watched the movie 9 today. I enjoyed it and will definitely purchase
it when it gets released on DVD. I also sat down without noticing at
first at sushi bar spot number 9. I don't know what kind of deep
connection I am tryin to make but I thought it was kind of funny.

the major part is done but Joe wr have to decide on a countertop and
back splash and gett some elctrocal an lighting installed. as I have
noticed on previous projects it is the details that kill you. Any one
want to make a pool as to how long the countertop remains to be solely
plywood?? oh well thanks to my brother at least we can load them up
with beer and such so as far ad j am concerned we are done !! if worse
comes to worse I will fox it like I fixed the roof with a blue tarp.

v dub

A few months ago I made te decision to sell my truck and make my vdub
a daily driver. After driving the beetle for months I decided I should
take care of the rust issues afflicting it along with the hideous
paint job. So while I was on vacation I sent her to the paint shop.
The paint job took quite a bit longer then I expected but the paint
job was twenty times better then I had hoped.
The problem however is ever since age started looking good she started
running bad. Before getting painted I ha the valves adjusted and a few
other minor things and when ibpicked her up things seemed good. I
arrived home and loaded up the family for a ride. she wouldn't start,
and this happened gain and again when she was warmed up along with a
lot of backfiring with my dad an I attempting to get her all adjuste
out. So then after being faced with failure on all quick fix attenpts
I thought ok I will just buy a new carb and skip rebuilding the old
one since I am going to be driving her all the time. After the new
carb was installed she ran even worse when she was warm and her gas
tank( which was replaced prior o the paint job) was dumping gas and
ruined the paint by the filler cap. After alarming a collegue when I
dumped gas in the work parking lot I took her in for some more
adjustments and the gas leak. finally a week later I recieved her back
thinking all the problems had at last been resolved. Upon receipt of
her I noticed a piece of paper was shoved in the passenger window and
as I drove home the window just slid all the way down. Not a big deal
I thought I already new the window regulator was on the fritz. in fact
I already had a replacement ready at home for later but for now I will
ljust park it in the garage.
With everything seemingly in order I headed off to work with part one
of the trip down and everything was looking good. Things started to go
awry in part two of the journey on the way back home. She started
running bad at the same point as before with no improvement, so I went
to park her in the carport so I could do some carb adjustments myself.
She died before I could even get out of the car and back to the engine
compartment. Not an uncommon occurance in An old cw beetle ao
unalarmed I turned the key but she barely turned over coughed rattled
and died again. Now she wouldn't start or een try to start at all. I
was left with a dilema since she was in the carport I had to either
push her into the garage or attempt to install the new window
regulator myself. i attempted to install the regulator but it is
either tweaked or I am just oo dumb to figure it out or some kind of
combo of the two but after about four hours I gave up and dcided to
push he into the garage.
thank you to th neighbor who came over to help despite having her
small child with her. bo and I were having a hard time getting it up
the slope into the garage wih just the two of us.
at any rate the moral of this story is it matters more what is on the
insidethen the outside. Apparently my vdub was insulted I gave her a
paint job and now refuses to cooperate so I would like to publicly
apologize to her here. I am truly sorry that you hate the color green
and that I imposed my idea of vanity on you. please I will buy you
synthetic motor oil and premium gas just stop breaking .

you really shouldn't have, really!

so today in a safety meeting four months after the fact we were
recognized for this one particular job we did that I won't explain in
detail but just think about the line of work Homer Simpson is in.
So anyways four months later we get a certificate that is half assed
onto regular paper and took all of one minute with a template to
fashion and . . . . wait for it a . . . BLANKET

Booney's

Today I tried out Booney's located in the northeast sgoppin center at
west and shaw. I saw it the other day when I was stocking up on W's 5
for 5 special. Today I went in and although my entourage was skeptical
of was choice initially we all left full and happy. They have hotdogs
and other types of sausages burgers fresh homemade rings and fries and
other items such as tri- tip and fish and chips.
The fries were delicious and so were the onion rings. My chili dog was
good not to over the top just how I like it.
This place is definitely gettig a return visit from myself it was
delicious and the start was very nice.
