Random Tuesday Thoughts...


It’s a short week for most here in Canada – thanks to a holiday on Friday (aka Good Friday).  Thank goodness for small miracles.
I really need to win the lottery.  I could do so much good with a lottery win and I might just help a few people along the way too…
I took two books on holidays with me, but didn’t pick either of them up the whole time.  Instead, I chose to rot my mind with the latest editions of People, Us Weekly and The World Weekly News.  Don’t judge – everyone should know how to tell if they’ve been abducted by aliens…
Spending 30 minutes on hold listening to muzak is enough to send even the sanest person over the edge.  I’m sure of it. 
Last week while on holidays, I watched the new A&E series with Kirstie Alley – Kirstie Alley’s Big Life.  I liked it.  She is a funny lady.   I also watched Gene Simmons Family Jewels – also a very funny show.  I've been missing so much.  God Bless America and HBO…
My friend and her husband have taken up curling and that’s all she talks about.  I wish I could share her enthusiasm for it, but I don’t and I can’t even pretend to.  I’d much rather watch paint dry.

Curling? Really? I've heard it takes almost nothing to get into the Olympics in this sport. Maybe that's what they're goal is?

I'll have to check out Kirstie's show. I like her.

Happy RTT.
I sure would like to win the lottery too. I think of all the things I could do and charities that I could start or support, and it makes me sad that I can't do more. And muzak sucks. It does make sane folks crazy. Maybe that's the goal-so you don't remember why you called in the first place.

So HOW CAN YOU tell if you've been abducted by an alien?

@Shelly - Maybe that is their goal - regardless, it's still boring.

@Harriet - Ahhh, the lottery...

@Just Call Me Yankee - I think you are right on the forgetting why you called thing. Stupid muzak...

@JennAventures - Curling is like bowling on ice (sort of).

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
