April 29th
I feel the earth...shake...under my feet....

As my alarm went off at 5am, I woke up to find the bed shaking. The whole house was shaking, actually.
It lasted for about 30 seconds, and the cat jumped off off the bed and out into the hall.
I hoped it wasn't the house starting to cave in on itself. ( A After all the stuff I've put up w/ lately, I wouldn't be surprised ! )
I got up, pulled on some shorts, and came downstairs, checked on Morgan .( Fast asleep .)
I called Jay at work, and when I told him, he discounted it as one of my famous dreams. ( Meaning bullshit. )
I got mad at him, got off the phone and turned the news on. They were just saying there was an earthquake
in Alabama. They it centered in Ft. Payne, a 4.5 on the Richter Scale.
I called Jay back and said, " In your face, space coyote ! "
He said, you have to admit, you have weird dreams !
I knew this wasn't one, though, that's why I got mad at him. I felt a tremor in Ohio in the late 80's, too. Felt the same.
At first, I thought, there's no tornado watches going on !!!
Ah, well, have a good day, all !

The makers of French's Mustard made the following recent statement:
"We at the French's Company wish to put an end to statements that our product is manufactured in France."
"There is no relationship, nor has there ever been a relationship,between our mustard and the country of France. Indeed, our mustard is manufactured in Rochester, NY."
"The only thing we have in common is that we are both yellow".

Terrible . How long has it been ? It's the 28th already !

Dad's doing better, I spoke with him Sat. and he was cooking steak for dinner ! I thought it would be broths for a fortnight !
Spoke to Mum the same day, she's gotten herself a job, so that's good news, one less worry.
My jobs going fine, I keep my nose down and keep out of everyone else's way and the day flies by quick enough.
Jay went up to Baltimore with Geoff this weekend to watch Echolyn play. They are huge fans and great friends with the band, so they had a great time.
I won't even tell you what happened with truth or dare . I would have been embarrassed for Jay if I'd been there.
I can't believe him.
Well, yeah, I can.
I called to wish Diana a belated Happy Birthday, and Lisa called to tell me Lucky called her. I laughed and told her he wants her to come back !
Ohh, boy !
Hope you're all doing well, check in later !

I've talked w/ my Dad on the phone, and he's so doped up I think he drifts off when there's 20 seconds of silence. Mabs told me when he was getting stiches taken out of his neck to keep a needle in place, he turned and scowled at his nurse and said, " Why don't you find someone who knows what they're doing ?"

Mabs called today and they've moved him again. She found him and called me back. Poor Mabs.

Poor Dad.

Dad's surgery was Wed. the 16th, and Mabs called to tell me it went okay. (I spoke to him the night before, but he's such a pessimistic bastard I started weeping whilst talking to him. I quickly put Morgan on after wailing " I love you so much ! ")
I called the next day ( yesterday ) and someone told me his number in his room. When I called it, it rang and rang... I called later and they told me they didn't know what I was talking about, ' He doesn't have a phone in his room..'
They told me to call back in 5 mins, they'd put one in there. I did, and he sounded all groggy and drugged. So much so, that I didn't keep him, just re-iterated how much I love him, and tell him to get some rest. The funniest thing was, when he answered the phone, he told me he had to get off the phone, he was expecting a call. " Or is it from you ?"
Yes, I assured him, from me. Mabs was surprised they hadn't told her she could call him in his room. Figures. It's only his wife, for fucks sake.
Anyway, I got home today and Jay played a message from Mabs telling me my Dad's brother passed away today ( or yesterday ) and if I talk to Dad today, don't tell him, for goodness sake ! I did call him, and felt awful that he couldn't know that sweet news until the hospital okay'd it. I'd hate to hear that news if I was healthy and full of vim, never mind weak from major surgery. Poor Dad. When it rains it pours, doesn't it ?
Speaking of which- a gal I work with had a grandfather pass way 2 weeks ago, then her Dad had a heart attack on Monday. He's okay, barely, but he had to have a quadruple bypass on Wed. What a horror !

Well, I let my Blog-o-Versary pass me by, here's my first post :
[4/14/2002 1:08:45 PM | Heather ]
Well, of course, copying my brother, though not in content, I have decided to create my own page.
It does help that if friends and family want to read what's going on in my dimpled head, I don't need to send
pictures, jokes and stories to multiple people. Now if I can just work out the template...

I see I haven't gotten any more exciting !

Hey guys- sorry if you keep visiting and this page just never seems to change ?
Silly me bought SimCity and got hooked, sorry about that.
A few things on my mind... I miss my parents, I know that sounds pitiful, but I do. My Dad's going through surgery next week, and I won't be there, he's just too far away. I can't help but worry about it. It's supposedly not a " major " surgery, but he's not well. They're going to clamp off the aorta at one end, and the femoral at the other, I believe, cut open the affected artery ( he has an annurism ), slap some synthetic material, or actually, I believe it's pig scrotum veins. That's what Mabs has been keeping me up to date on. I hate that I just started a new job. But, I'll leave whether they okay it or not, if Mabs wants me there. I just hope everything goes great. And, I miss me Mummy, all the way across the ocean. I wish she'd come for a visit. I guess I could ask her. It wouldn't hurt. Anyway, you can see I'm in the blahs, and just don't feel like writing. I'm surprised I wrote this much ! Take care of yourselves, I'll be back soon !

Todays Funny
One day a man was walking along the beach when he found a
bottle, when he opened it up a genie poped out. The genie said
he could have one wish. The man thought about it a while then
told the man that he was afraid of heights and got sea sick, but
really wanted to go to Hawaii so he asked the genie to make a
highway to Hawaii.

"I don't know" said the genie, "that is really difficult. Do you
have another request?"

"Well, I really want to know all about women, you know, how they
tick and why they're the way they are!"

The genie replied: "Will that be two lanes or four?"

John Cleese and the Axis of Evil
Not really classroom humor either, but good for a
laugh...Axis of Evil Wannabes, by John Cleese

Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the "Axis of Evil," Libya, China, and Syria today announced they had formed the "Axis of Just as Evil," which they said would be more evil than that stupid Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis President Bush warned of in his State of the Union address.

Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the
new axis as having, for starters, a really dumb name.
"Right. They are Just as evil...in their dreams!" declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.
"Everybody knows we're the best evils... best at being evil...we're the best."


Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being excluded, although they conceded they did ask if they could join the Axis of Evil. "They told us it was full," said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
"An Axis can't have more than three countries," explained Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
"This is not my rule, it's tradition. In World War II you had
Germany, Italy, and Japan in the evil Axis. So, you can only have three, and a secret handshake.
Ours is wickedly cool."


International reaction to Bush's Axis of Evil declaration was swift, as within minutes, France surrendered.

Elsewhere, peer-conscious nations rushed to gain triumvirate status in what became a game of geopolitical
chairs.

Cuba, Sudan, and Serbia said they had formed the "Axis of Somewhat Evil," forcing Somalia to join with Uganda and Myanmar in the "Axis of Occasionally Evil," while Bulgaria,Indonesia and Russia established the "Axis of Not So Much Evil Really As Just Generally Disagreeable."

With the criteria suddenly expanded and all the desirable clubs filling up...Sierra Leone, El Salvador, and Rwanda
applied to be called the "Axis of Countries That Aren't the Worst But Certainly Won't Be Asked to Host the Olympics."

Canada, Mexico, and Australia formed the "Axis of Nations
That Are Actually Quite Nice But Secretly Have Some Nasty Thoughts About America,"
while Scotland, New Zealand and Spain established the
"Axis of Countries That Be Allowed to ask Sheep to Wear Lipstick."
"That's not a threat, really, just something we like to do," said Scottish Executive First Minister Jack McConnell.

While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most axis, although he rejected the establishment of the
Axis of Countries Whose Names End in "Guay," accusing one of its members of filing a false application.
Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges.

Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis, but privately,
world leaders said that's only because no one asked them.

Note : Jay gave me this link. He said that as of last night people were arguing on this post , on whether it was ACTUALLY John Cleese who'd written it.
So, who knows ? I think it's hilarious !

Jay just saw on TV that Al-Jazeerah ,(?) the Iraqi TV force, has been kicked out of Bagdad.
Like he pointed out, they're on his ( Saddam's ) side. What does he not want the world to see ? What's coming up ?
Hmm....

NASSIRIYA, Iraq -
Doctors supporting U.S. Marine combat operations in Iraq had to brush up their child delivery skills on Wednesday when a young Iraqi woman was brought to their base and gave birth to a baby girl.

The woman, Jamila Katham, approached a U.S. military ambulance in a patrol in the Nassiriya area of southern Iraq early on Wednesday to seek help, U.S. Marine surgeons said.

Katham's family was concerned about her because she had been in labor for a long time, they said.

The baby, Katham's first child, has been named Rogenia. "I think they wanted an American-sounding name," Stroup said.

American sounding name ? Sounds like a hair tonic for bald guys.

Here's proof that Saddam is dead.
Iraqi domestic television showed footage of President Saddam Hussein on Wednesday, smiling and laughing with members of his cabinet.

His ass wouldn't be laughing right now. There's your proof.
He's probably watching an anti-war rally on CNN.

Comments

I know I don't get that many visitors a day, but it would be nice to know who is hanging around. The only people I have leaving comments are Joan and my husband. I really have a good mind ( or kinda nice mind ) to yank the fecking comments section and be done with it. I leave comments on other blogs to show I support them, and I guess I'm just too shit to be given the same courtesy. Fuck it, I'm done ranting.

Todays Funny :

George Carlin on :

Ads in Bills:
Have you ever noticed that they put advertisements in with your
bills now? Like bills aren't distasteful enough, they have to stuff
junk mail in there with them. I get back at them. I put garbage
in with my check when I mail it in. Coffee grinds, banana
peels...I write, "Could you throw this away for me? Thank
you."
--------------------------------------------------------------
Fabric Softener:
My wife uses fabric softener. I never knew what that stuff was
for. Then I noticed women were coming up to me (sniff) 'Married'
(walk off). That's how they mark their territory. You can take
off that ring, but it's hard to get that April fresh scent out
of your clothes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cripes
My wife's from the Midwest. Very nice people there. Very
wholesome. They use words like 'Cripes.' For Cripe's sake. Who
would that be, Jesus Cripes? The son of 'Gosh?' of the church of
'Holy Moly.' I'm not making fun of it. You think I wanna burn in
'Heck'?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Morning Differences:
Men and women are different in the morning. The men wake up
aroused in the morning. We can't help it. We just wake up and we
want you. And the women are thinking, 'how can he want me the
way I look in the morning?' It's because we can't see you. We
have no blood anywhere near our optic nerve.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Pregnancy:
It's weird when pregnant women feel the baby kicking. They say,
'Oh my god. He's kicking. Do you wanna feel it?' I always feel awkward
reaching over there. Come on! It's weird to ask someone to feel
your stomach. I don't do that when I have gas. "Oh my god...give
me your hand...It won't be long now..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Grandma:
My grandmother has a bumper sticker on her car that says, 'Sexy
Senior Citizen'. You don't want to think of your grandmother that way,
do you? Out entering wet shawl contests. Makes you wonder where
she got that dollar she gave you for your birthday.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Reverse Life Cycle:
The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean,
life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the
end of it? A death. What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle
is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way.
Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're
too young, you get a gold watch, you got to work. You work forty
years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do
drugs, alchohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You
go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no
responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the
womb, you spend your last nine months floating...you finish off
as a gleam.
------------------------------------------------------
Prisons:
Did you know that it costs forty thousand dollars a year to
house each prisoner? Jeez, for forty thousand bucks a piece I'll take a few
prisoners into my house! I live in Los Angeles. I already have
bars on the windows. I don't think we should give free room and
board to criminals. I think they should have to run twelve hours
a day on a treadmill and generate electricity. And if they don't
want to run, they can rest in the chair that's hooked up to the
generator.
---------------------------------------------
Award Shows:
Can you believehow many award shows they have now? They have
awards for commercials. The Cleo Awards. A whole show full of
commercials. I taped it and then I fast-forwarded through the
whole thing.
-------------------------------------------
Phone-in Polls:
You know those shows where people call in and vote on different
issues? Did you ever notice there's always like 18% "I don't
know". It costs 90 cents to call up and vote...They're voting "I
don't know." "Honey, I feel very strongly about this. Give me
the phone. (Into phone) I DON'T KNOW! (hangs up, looking proud)
Sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe you're not
sure about." This guy probably calls up phone sex girls for
$2.95. (into phone) "I'm not in the mood."
----------------------------------------------------------
Answering Machine:
Did you ever hear one of those corny, positive messages on
someone's answering machine? "Hi, It's a great day and I'm out enjoying it
right now. I hope you are too. The thought for the day is 'Share the
love. '"Beep." "Uh, yeah...this is the VD clinic
calling...Speaking of being positive, your test is back. Stop
sharing the love."
