Just had to vent.

It's a weird time man. It's like that out here as well, businesses practically begging for people to come work all over.

I want to watch the coverage of Richard Branson, along with five other people, launch to space on Virgin's space plane today, but they have Stephen Colbert hosting it. I can't stand that guy. If there was anyone in the entertainment industry I would like to punch in the face, it's Stephen Colbert.

Update: They did it. Amongst his many other accomplishments, Richard Branson is now officially an astronaut. What a life that guy has created for himself.

The problem (which is nationwide) isn't too many customers.  It's not enough employees.

The only thing stopping me from doing that is….oh about a few billion dollars.  Looks like I’ve got a few more lawns to mow.  

But wow, how cool would that be?

On a somewhat related note...you should see all of the Sonics out here.  Figured they must be based out here so I looked it up and sure enough they are based out of Oklahoma.

There are a lot of CiCi's out here as well.  A lot.  And as I assumed, they are based out of Irving, TX.

Ya know, people gives CiCi's a bad rep, but I like them.. Pretty good pizza for the price.. Not a bad apple caramel pizza either..

If I want something cheap and fast, I'll go.  Some are good and some are bad.  It's really about rotating the pies and keeping everything fresh.  The one that is right around the corner from me is really good about that.  It ain't gourmet by any stretch, but it's not bad.  Hell, my wife and I ate there on Sunday for $14.  Can't beat that.

If they only served cold beer on tap..

I had a Dr appointment the other day.  BP was 145/94.  Obviously the dr was concerned.  I eat like crap, started back dipping at least a can and a half a day,  drink like a fish at times (not always) (doctor told me I was a functional alcoholic). Work has been stressful to say the least the last year or so.  I had a nice run of it being stress free.  Was asked by the tech and dr if I performed self (may be paraphrasing) testicular checks.  I said no.  Was hoping she’d fondle them a bit to find out.  Maybe next time.  Wanted to take blood and asked if I fasted.  (I wasn’t told to, so I didn’t). It was 2pm I said no, but I haven’t eaten much of anything today. Maybe a cheese stick and a slim Jim around 10am.  She says  as she turns from the computer “are you trying to kill yourself?”  That made me laugh.  I like how blunt she is.  She has a way of saying it in the right manner without coming off as a meany.  Anyway, my parents catch wind of my BP.  I have a few simple questions since MY FATHER is listed on the family medical history as having hypertension and he’s on 3 count em 3 different BP medications worked a stressful job and the whole nine….  He tells me to take it after I’ve rested.  Like when the [BLEEP] is that? My mom says relax, imagine your smoker going and sitting out looking at the woods.  I did.  And I also imagined my wife coming out asking “is the grill ready? I’m hungry!”  So I ask my dad, Mr hypotension, retired from stressful job, got pissed off with my brother and I over the stupidest of things, how do you relax? How does one relax his mind?  How about this guy gets pissed at me and tells me to just do it and relax.  Tells me I’ve got control over my thoughts and actions.  Although correct, but you’re getting pissed with me for asking, WTAF?

Edit: my dr is kinda hawt.  That’s the reason  I was hoping she’d fondle, I mean, check for testicles or whatever.  Just wanted to make that clear.

Weird indeed!  Hopefully it’ll pass.  

So… I was reading the Teebs thread. Never noticed the purple super mod thing you had going on until I read a post about it.  Well la de da!  Lol.  Was that recent or have I just not been paying attention?

Lawn workers, fast food workers, mods… The struggle is real.

Are you uncertain that you have any?  Did your e-wife get them in the divorce?

You don't happen to go Baptist in Mandarin do you?  I'm 65 now and had never in my life had a doctor ask me about a testicular exam.  I ask, because she was kinda hawt.

Baptist yes, but over in St. John’s. 

The nurse asked if I performed exams to check for lumps or anything I suppose.  Dr came in and asked about the same exact questions the nurse did including that.  Idk.  I’ll just chalk it up that she thought I was hawt too.  Lol. She didn’t actually suggest or ask to check them out or anything.

They’re all there! Like a basket full of Easter eggs down there.  That’s normal right?
