Did You Miss Us?
Well, it seems like nobody really missed us this past week
we were not blogging. Does it really make a difference if we do blog? Do we
bring any joy into people’s lives? Do we make anyone think differently? Snoopy
and I really wonder sometimes if we are just wasting our time and energy
authoring this blog. Sure, some of the games we administer might be fun to
play, but do we really make a difference? If so we would like to her from you,
and not just by “Liking” our posts, but with some meaningful feedback from you
guys. C’mon, let us hear from you peeps!
Cancer Screening
I had my scheduled cancer screening procedure last week.
That was the reason I took some time off from work. I apparently had 3 polyps
again this time (same as 5 years ago) that they removed and sent to the lab for
analysis. We should find out the results sometime next week if any of them are
cancerous or not. We have been lucky so far avoiding the “C” word, but you
never know with our family. Last time I had this procedure I did not feel anything
afterwards, but this time I had some pain on my insides from the removal
procedure which lasted about half a day or so. I took some of my pain meds
which knocked out the pain I was feeling and the pain never returned. This was
only my second time having this done and I guess I’ll have to have it done
every five years or so for the remainder of my life. I recommend friends my age
have it done so you can catch anything bad early enough so it can be treated,
removed and dealt with in a timely manner. Just do it!
My dear friend, Maynard
My dear friend Maynard came into town to take me to all my
doctor appointments last week. They will
not allow you to have the procedures accomplished unless you have someone with
you to take you home. They even interview your driver before you go into have
the procedure to ensure there is someone there to drive you home. Good thing
because I barely remember anything. Last time I was pretty much awake and I
enjoyed the meds I was on. This time I must have been out because I remember
being on the table and the next thing I knew I was done and just lying there
and apparently totally out of it. Good friends are hard to find and I am glad I
have a great friend like Maynard! Thanks
again for everything, Maynard! J
Blackhawks
My Chicago Blackhawks are two wins away from being in the
Stanley Cup Finals! The bad news is, the Kings are only one win away. We have to play tougher than we have been
lately. The Kings have been playing better hockey this series than our Hawks, so
we need to step up and play like Champions or we won’t be repeating. I do like
the sound of back to back Champions, so let’s do this! Go Blackhawks!
Bon Voyage, Uncle Eric
One of Snoopy’s adopted Uncles, Uncle Eric and his wife, are
leaving us and California to open up a restaurant in Austin, Texas. Snoopy said her goodbyes to him earlier this
week with sadness in her eyes, but she is happy they are following their
dreams. I hope they understand how much work is involved and how hard it is to
make it successful in the restaurant business. We do plan to visit him during
our retirement and on our road trip , hopefully to be there in late October
2015 to coincide with the Formula One Race being held there. We will keep in
touch with them via Facebook, of course, but it just won’t be the same without
his smiling face at the tavern.
Things That Piss Me Off
Facebook Posts Telling Us All How Awesome They Are
If you are that self-centered that you need to post
self-praising issues about how great you are, or how awesome you are, that is
just plain pitiful. If you feel awesome, that is another thing. Nobody wants to hear that your client thinks
you are awesome, or that you think you are awesome. That is not your place in
life. Do you ever think that Steve McQueen ever said how awesome he was? Of
course not! And he was the coolest
person ever! So if you feel you need to boost your own ego by saying how
awesome you are, then you are really just trying to fool yourself! If you were
really awesome, you would not have a need to spout it every time you can get in
a FB post telling us all over, once again. I have FB friends that do it all the
time. I wish they could get over themselves.
