Important Stuff -- Or Not: My Wasted Day

My Wasted Day

So, after I got off work this morning, I headed for Andrews AFB. I was at the lab a few weeks ago to give some blood and other samples and I got a phone call Friday saying they'd broken the other sample. I got over there and found their computers were down. I asked what they did before they had computers and just got a blank look. So, I killed some time. Had lunch at the BX food court and spent too much money on a Buffalo Soldier and a Tuskegee Airman jacket. I also bought a bottle of Lagerfeld cologne. Whenever I'm at the BX, I spritz myself with cologne as a freebie. Last week, I was at Ft. Meyer and had just sprayed on some Lagerfeld when a passing woman totally out of the blue said," WOW! You smell wonderful!" Lagerfeld went straight onto my shopping list. Anyway, I got back to the hospital and the computers were still down, so I had to drive back home. I'll go again tomorrow after I take Ginger to the vet for some shots. On the way home, I'd been up for 15 hours and could barely keep my eyes open. Even with the top down, I was dozing. I fell straight into bed and then dreamed that I fell asleep at the wheel. I HATE that dream! Although I didn't wake up completely, I have a vague memory of flailing around wildly, thinking I was going off the road. When I woke up, one of the cat beds was on the floor, and my bedside water carafe was tipped over. Luckily, it didn't break and it didn't have much water in it. That's why I hate that dream. I must have slept for only three hours. So, now it's 9 pm and I can barely stay awake. Feather pillows and fleece sheets await me.

You're lucky. I had a dream once that I ate this gimongous marshmallow, and when I woke up I couldn't find my pillow!!; 6:09 AM

Lone Ranger said...: The O' club is the officers' club -- as opposed to the enlisted men's club. They are kept separate -- so as not to offend the sensibilities of the enlisted men.; 3:15 PM

I always have that falling dream... although a couple of times I have had it but have thankfully landed on a pile of mattresses.; 5:56 PM

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

1. Hate makes people stoopid.

2. There is nothing so impenetrable as a closed mind.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
