Amazon.com: Blendtec TB-621-20 Home 1,560-Watt Total Blender, Black: Gateway

Fans: They just blow the air around. The problem is the temperature is way to high. Fans will not help.

Girlfriend: I should have said I have known her for 14 years. We were together from 1996-1999. We then broke up and did not get back together until nearly 10 years later in 2008. We were probably fighting as I did pi ss her off to where she would not talk to me for a while. That is probably what you are referring to.

Moving back to Phoenix: As everyone knows, I change my mind like crazy. I was going to go back to Phoenix, but then a few people in the Phoenix forum chased me away. That is were the "Phoenix, valley of the scum" and "screw Phoenix" came from. I am no longer going back to Phoenix.

AA meetings: No way Jose. I hate them. Back in 2000, I got a DUI in Phoenix and they sentenced me to 15 meetings. I hated going so much that after 5 meetings, I had friends and family initial and date my report for me since the court does not have any idea who the people in the meetings are.

Meds: Drugs just mask the problem, they do nothing to make you get well. I read the side effects on the bottle so I just threw both of them away. I like Pink's approach as in actually solving the problem. I do not want to be on pain pills for the rest of my life.

Airing dirty laundry: I used to be much more secretive and private, but now that I know I am dying it just doesn't matter anymore.
If you were to go back to Phoenix, why would you go on the forum and announce it? Why would you let people YOU DONT EVEN KNOW AND WILL NEVER MEET in real life dictate your life? You know how many emails I got from people telling me to stay in Orlando? And that Las Vegas was a bad place and that I'd never find a job? I didnt let it stop me because I had my heart set on moving here and wasnt going to let people who I'll never meet in real life dictate my life for me

This would not happen because Im well liked in the Orlando forum, but if I announced to them that I was moving back, and if anybody sent me any mean or hateful messages or just had some harsh words for me, I STILL would not let it stop me.

Im sorry LVD but that to me is a cop out

I agree with PinkString, about what she said doing to knock some sense in you. You dont listen, and I dont think you ever will

As far as quitting drinking, AA meetings are the most common way to quit. There are many other methods Im sure. The fact that you hated them so much, and you family initialed the paper makes them enablers, and they allowed you to continue on drinking. If I were to attend an AA meeting as much as I would hate it, my family would MAKE me go until I got better because as much as we fight they'd want the best for me

For some reason when I read this, it cracked me up. I must be losing my mind. I think a game of Bejeweled blitz at Facebook should help. Maybe tend to my crops there too in Farmville. See you all much later!

I'm ready for weather that allows for a firepit, adult beverages and smores.

Even if you want to die, if you don't have the paper intact, Do Not Resuscitate, they won't let you die in a nursing home or hospital.

Last night, I found an elderly patient, on dialysis, unresponsive. She looked deader than a door nail. I alerted the nurse, and not being DNR but full code, they had no other recourse but try to revive her with the crash cart. A call to 911, the rescue squad arrives, revives her, off to the hospital, the emergency staff beating their chest as to what heroes they are.

Now I feel a little guilty. Every time I have to get her dressed for dialysis every 3 days, she refuses to go, and says: Please! I just want to die! Leave me alone! But the nurses always talk her into going. Without dialysis, she'd die. And I'll have to face her when she returns, unless they put her on another hall, which I'm praying they will.

If you haven't gotten around to having your Advanced Directives done, don't postpone it one more minute. A car accident could leave you in a position where you're unable to sign the papers, your brain might be effected, they deem your mentally incompetent, and there you are, for an eternity, all hooked up to tubes and merely existing.

Gee whiz! I've never ran into someone before, that waits for a certain time of the year to enjoy adult beverages. Are you a member of some strange, esoteric religious cult that won't allow you to drink a nice cold beer during the hot summer?

Here is a link to this week's City Life interview.

Single occupancy : Music Stories :: Las Vegas CityLife

Score another for the home team!
Some folks? Love the Killers and I really have been liking Flower's solo record. I hope he will tour a bit so I can see him in concert. I know that The Killers plan on working on another album soon as well. I have not read the article yet, so it might mention this, but one of his songs was inspired by Johnny Cash. His voice is so unique and definitely stands out.
