Have you ever had a headache that lasted 7 weeks? (Actually it may have started earlier than that.)
On September 13th my wife and I were in Chicago to see the Twins play the White Sox. I woke up and my right eye was swollen shut. We went to the emergency room, and the doctor recognized the problem right away. Shingles.
I was going to say, I've never heard of someone as young as you being diagnosed with it.
Yeah, I figured it was quite common. My family is very medically sound, as my grandfather (Mom's dad) was one of the better doctors of this century (In Who's Who) especially with the work he did at Harvard Med school pediatrics and his invention of part of the mechanical heart. So, my Mom worked for him a bit doing lab work, blah blah blah it runs in the family so she knew what she was doing.
It's so far back to remember I can't remember if they were annoying or not. I remember one instance when I had them and was running around some new building at school but that's it. The rest is blocked. haha
Once you let your hair grow, the hair strands stretch the pores so the skin doesn't itch anymore, my beard never itches (unless you don't comb it of course and your skin gets dry) and actually shaving constantly can cause the exact same skin irritation.
I originally started out with "the goat", and then at college said fuck it and went for the full beard. What I have now is probably not what I'll go with for the rest of my life, or even at my job, but its interesting to say the least to have another look.
Beards are great, they are masculine and awesome. I truly feel bad for all my friends that can't grow one. It's funny for as much as society puts them down in the corporate world everyone loves mine, girls, guys, etc.
Beardism needs to stop as does tattoism.
I just got my interview with Enterprise on Friday btw, sent my "phone conversation email" (yeah I know, makes no sense) in and she called me back 2 hours later to set up a meeting.
So we'll see if I'll be doing this or not on Friday at 1030am. Part of me wants to say fuck all this shit and work at UPS and the other half says this Enterprise bit is better for my resume, looks better for when I eventually leave and do something else.
What to do...what to do..
All I know is I'm going to two hockey games this weekend.
For 9 months I was "in the closet" about my geezerliness. Too embarrassed to admit my age. Since I came out I've found some new friends, and SG has become a much more fun and interesting place. Thanks gang, especially geezer leader mydogfarted.
My wife and I went to vote around noon today. When we got to the gym at the junior high, there was a camera crew from one of the local TV stations. As we were leaving, I asked the cameraman what was so exciting about our polling place? He said, not what but who. Michele Bachmann was supposed to be showing up any minute.... Read More
Open season on mousies AGAIN... This is a rerun of one of my favorite blogs from Jan 26, 2010
Rodent Trouble...
Ten years ago I built my house on what used to be farmland. I love living away from the city while still being close enough to everything. We have all kinds of wildlife passing through the yard, deer, foxes and bald eagles to name... Read More
I still think the Mascot should have been Babe the Blue Ox.
The Blue Ox was actually one of the team names mentioned, I'd take that over the Wild, but of course, I want the North Stars. Fuck Dallas for keeping the rights.
The Browns got to keep their shit. I think its just because the owner was basically run out due to all the scandals and all of that. That was his sucker punch.
It seems my sister's Suburban has "animal magnetism". It attracts deer. I've nicknamed it the "Bambi-mobile".
The first two kills were more or less direct hits. Today's kill was a little different. This one ran straight into the side of the car, denitng the door. Perhaps the attack was revenge for his lost brothers.
I hope you are successful in getting Bachman out, from what I have seen of her on TV and heard from my cousin that lives in Minneapolis, she needs to go, she is contradictive crazy, and that's not a good crazy at all.
So good luck to you sir!!, and to your sister for that matter!
On a trip to the grocery store today I found myself in an aisle I don't usually visit. (for good reason) The snackfood aisle.
Of course everyone knows those chocolate cookies with the cream filling, that some people insist on dipping in milk. I take my cookies neat with a milk chaser.
Much to my dismay, the brand has expanded to include well over a... Read More
1st robbery: The first time my roommate and I go away at the same time and are gone for a weekend and all our shit is stolen. Like 8,000 dollars worth of stuff.
2nd robbery: During a fire extinguisher inspection by our townhouse complex, either their guy or the fire extinguisher guy came in to change them out, and stole my friend's wallet.
3rd robbery: This time we were actually in the house sleeping. I was up till 6am watching tv upstairs but I didn't hear anything. My roommate came down at 9am and saw all our shit was gone.
Since I'm alive and typing this it must be about taxes.

The IRS allows you to file an extension. Without a finished return you don't know how much to pay. (I never get refunds.) They charge you penalty and interest starting April 16th. So what the fuck are you supposed to do? Send them a blank check?... Read More
