Not that any of you freaks read my posts on my actual site, but I’m changing hosts from godaddy.com, which limits me too much to dreamhosts, which theoretically does not have these limits.  This may result in strange behaviors over the next two weeks.  Or maybe not.

I may not have mentioned the results of the sleep study I went on last week.  Here they are:

HOLY CRAP

ahem.

Evidently I have severe obstructive sleep apnea.  I go back for the follow-up March 18th, where they do the same thing as the first one (I presume) with the wires and the ick, and add a mask that will add pressure to my system to keep my ( Read more... )

The bad:  Our house is cursed by water.  I’m sitting in my office while the rest of the family is out, and I stand up to go do something irrelevant to the story when I step in a wet spot on the floor mat.  I think to myself, “Did the fucking dog piss on my floor mat?”  After a brief examination of my sock, which was not yellow, I determine that I ( Read more... )

Today, something exciting, in the sense of ‘whoa!’ happened.

Austin had a friend over, and the three kids (Serena, Austin and Katherine) were tromping around the house playing with the dog.  I’m sitting in the living room nursing a sore shoulder, and Laurette is upstairs cleaning Serena’s closet out of old clothes.

The three kids are in the room ( Read more... )

Well, been a while, so here it is:

OK, now that I have a camera on my phone that isn’t horrible, I have a project for myself, which YOU can help with! Give me a song title, and I’ll take a picture that is in SOME way associated with that song. I don’t care what the song title is, and you’ll just have to trust that I’m making SOME association. My goal is to do one a day, and I’ll ( Read more... )

Less satisfying than I was hoping for, really. The doctor told me “stretch more, you should reduce the amount of clicking you’re hearing. If it’s still a problem after a month of stretching regularly, come back in, we’ll do an MRI.” and “It’s probably not a sports hernia, but may in fact be a regular old hernia. If it is still bad in a month, go ( Read more... )

It’s early September. The official soccer season is over for us old farts, and it’s the first week of ‘pickup’ soccer, where everyone who wants to gets together to play soccer. We have about 15 players per side, all of them on the field. It’s a bit crowded, to say the least. But, I’m not really THAT tested as the goalie. We play for about 2 or ( Read more... )

OK, the healthcare industry said that if the health care bill passes, premiums will go up by 110% within the next 10 years. All the “progressive” pundits seem to be missing is this:

A> NO SHIT premiums will go up. Every healthcare insurance company is gonna rake in all the profits while they can.

B> When premiums go up due to A>, everyone who ( Read more... )
