Ah, yes, the compendium type post. Sure to be of interest to no-one, except, guess what? You’re here reading it. So it must interest someone at least little on some level. That or your RSS reader has let you down in a spectacular fashion. First, the blog is approaching 200,000 posts and I expect we’ll […]
First, a few words on The Sharper Image. It was for many years a very cool store. I went to their original store in San Francisco way back in the 1980s when I was a student at Cal (GO BEARS!) I frequented their store on Market Street right near the Powell and Montgomery BART stations […]
Ouch. Today hurts much worse than yesterday. I am sore in my shoulders, my entire neck, upper back, and a little in my lower back. I have this burning sensation that goes from one shoulder blade to the other. And the weird random pain in my right hip. The insurance people told me that this […]
What a weekend. The Panthers won Friday and Sunday giving us a total of four wins in a row. Yay, Panthers. Next up, I’m sitting in Thomas’ car on Sunday and he’s driving. We’re both wearing seat belts. Though I often give him crap for his driving, he’s a pretty good (i.e.: very cautious) driver. […]
Right. Step one is a special super thank-you to my bud Ernie Reardon, without whom I would probably not be talking to you all. I’m going to do something really nice for him. Of course he probably won’t let me. Earlier this month on 7 November, I went back to the Gastrointestinologist because my acid […]
I have removed SnapShots from my blog because their login procedure pissed me off. It had nothing to do with the fact they have advertising. Just a stupid login problem. If they contact me, I’ll put it back. They won’t, though. Too bad. I liked it. I am back from Las Vegas. I left Vegas […]
I am relieved as all hell to report that I do not currently have Barrett’s esophagus which I was afraid I might have. Barrett’s esophagus is a relatively uncommon side effect of Acid Reflux (see multiple previous blog entries) that often leads to esophageal cancer, which is generally fatal. Anyway, I don’t have it so […]
It’s been a busy week. Let’s see, I’m sick. I have a cold. My throat problem appears to be back, but I’ve been ignoring it for weeks — it’s pretty bad now so I’m off to the doctor tomorrow. Dad gets his one-year oncologists report tomorrow. Last night, I saw the Trans-Siberian Orchestra with Evan […]
SCOOTER UPDATE: She’s feeling a bit better after we saw Dr. Child — Dr. Child has a much better bedside manner than the other two doctors in the office. Plus, she’s a cat owner. Cat owners make better cat vets than dog owners (and vice versa). She changed Scooter’s medicine levels to 1-1/2 pills per […]
This link was sent to me first by Evan followed by several other friends over the next few hours: The article starts: An epidemic of thyroid disease among pet cats could be caused by toxic flame retardants that are widely found in household dust and some pet food, government scientists reported Wednesday. And goes on […]
