Plus of course the 2 dogs, 2 cats and rabbit are all up and doing aerobics on my face ...

I have to teach today too - maybe the lesson topic will be "Taoist population control".

Chow, I like the idea of the OFF (Old Fart's Forum), but then where would I get all my straight lines?

I was visiting my brother and his family and real early one morning like 6 in the morning I heard my sister in law yell from up stairs "MOTHER OF GOD!!!" Turns out my nephew, who had to literally be dragged out of bed to go to school had the day off and was up and raring to go that morning.

Who's gonna post the threads? It'll be DEAD! There already is a Retirement forum, so Chow can move if he so wishes.

I just posted ^^^ in the wrong thread and had to delete it! Thank goodness I noticed it.
It's a real shame, in many business's employees are treated like a timecard number, instead of a productive human being, who is an asset.

When I visit my niece (in NYC )she has an 18th month and a 3yr old I love them and they are so beautiful...but by the third day I'm ready to put a bullet in my brain!!!The kicker was while I was sleeping on the bottom trundle bed the 3yr old leaned over and said "I'm gonna spit" and proceeded to throw-up all over me!!Lesson learned I sleep on top trundle now!!At least in your case Phil they are school age but I would head for the hills before they hit teen years!!

Tell your hubby it was in his best interest they let him go the way they did, because he can get with another company that'll value him the way they should

He's still in ICU, were gonna go down there later, only allow 2 people in the room at the same time, were gonna have to juggle I guess.

Mrs. Chow told me that one of the doctors was getting really rude and sarcastic to her mother. I told Mrs. Chow that if I was around and heard that I'd put my foot so far up his ass he'd be choking on the leather. Pr ick, damn doctors think that they walk on water and these bastards forget who the f ck they work for.

Don't get me started on the AMA.... they are pulling a bunch of other crap worthy of a thread in of its own.

About 2 hours ago (5:30am) heard a big crash next door, followed by cursing and yelling. Went out on the porch to investigate, some young punk is strutting away and says to me "Who the f*** YOU lookin' at?"

Don't say things like that to me at 5:30 in the morning - I'm not Mr. Happy at that time...

I replied "A piece of s***!" (See how being witty helps?). Meanwhile my LF comes out behind me, he sees her and makes a comment about her "old man gonna' catch cold in his bare feet - better get him inside". While he's saying this he's getting closer and I'm casually strolling toward him. I can tell at this point he's drunk and possibly drugged-up, and the neighbors are starting to come out.

He went to poke me in the chest; he never made it.

The cops were very understanding - said he had some outstanding warrants and dragged him off to County. Hope they still have a medic there ...

Turns out he was boinking the guy-next-door's wife, so I guess you could say I'm starting to clean up the area.

You guys rock!

Over the lustrum in my life i've seen things. Some Doctors/Surgeons are True Miracle Workers/using all of Modern Technology. Some docs are pretty good. Some docs ain't worth beans.

Most docs nowadays sure ain't like Doctor Welby.

I don't trust most doctors. nuff said.
