Things I Don't Care About Today...

Don't panic, it's a short list...

Municipal Elections – It’s municipal election day here in Ontario.  It’s time to vote for our town mayors and council members.  Since no one has bothered to run against my current mayor, I don’t really care.  Thank goodness this day will soon be over.  I’m sick of hearing the smear campaign ads and I’m sick of election signs polluting the side of the roadways and intersections.  

Bed Bugs – I’m tired of hearing about the spreading bed bug infestations.  Did you know, they are taking over New York, Toronto and they are coming soon to a town near you?  Enough already - as someone who loves to travel, it’s freaking me out and making me itch!

My mom came up with this little tidbit--you need to wash or at least throw into the dryer for 20 minutes anything you order new--it might be infected with bed bugs. Sigh, come back off the edge, mom.

I am all for the elections being over. Then the signs just lay there even with the sign law. They caught a guy stealing another guys sign locally. Jeepers people. What are we running for here? High school treasurer?

Enuff of that.

My wife freaks now about the bedbugs cause I travel a bit. Anything they can get you stirred up about.

I'm sick of hearing about bedbugs too. They say we can blame the Olympics for the recent epidemic in Vancouver.

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
