Left Hand Lock Up

My left hand keeps locking up.  Every morning I wake up to my left hand curled up almost into a fist and I am unable to straighten it out at all.  If I try the pain is so bad that it prevents me from even moving any of my fingers.  It takes about 40Mg’s of Oxycontin, one Mobic, 30 Mg’s of Prednisone and maybe some Vicodin for break through pain.  Then I have to wait about an hour for it all to kick in.  I have to figure something out at night to keep my and in to keep it straight and not curl up…

Economy Blues

The economy is so bad that…

I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.

I ordered a burger at McDonald’s and the kid behind the counter asked, “Can you afford fries with that?”.

CEO’s are now playing miniature golf.

If the bank returns your check marked  “Insufficient Funds,” you call them and ask if they meant you or them.

Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM.

McDonald’s is selling the 1/4 ouncer.

Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children’s names.

A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico .

Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.

Motel Six won’t leave the light on anymore.

The Mafia is laying off judges.

Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.

Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal. Thats just Great!  The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $1.5 Trillion disappear!

And, finally…

I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc.,  I called the Suicide Lifeline. I got a call center in Pakistan , and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.

Endoscopy

This 18th, I have to go and get a endoscopy done.  They are looking for anything abnormal and ulcers.  I lost 20 pounds in about 2 weeks.  I was down to 176 pounds.  Reason was I quit eating since everything I ate and or drank at any time felt like it was going to come back up.  The sickness has lasted about a month so far until I started taking the stomach medicine.

The G.I. Doctor said he thinks its ulcers but if they are they don’t feel like normal ulcers from when I had them before.  Ulcers were painful when you got hungry and went away after you ate.  I am having the exact opposite now.  When I eat or drink I get sick, almost to the point of throwing up.  They still think its ulcers though…  We’ll see (literally) I guess on the 18Th.

Dear President

Dear President:

Please find below my suggestion for fixing America’s economy.  Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the  following plan.  You can call it the “Patriotic Retirement Plan”.  There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force.  Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings.  Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered.  Auto Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage.  Housing Crisis fixed.

It can’t get any easier than that!!

P. S.
If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes…

Mr. President, while you’re at it, make Congress retire on Social Security and Medicare. I’ll bet both programs would be fixed pronto!

New Car

I purchased a 1990 Oldsmobile Royal 88 on October 20th, 2009 for only $588.  With tax and other bullshit, the total was $700 something.  This thing runs like a brand new car.  It has 150k of mileage.  It has new tires (probably costs more then the car itself).  The body is rusting but the inside is clean and the damn thing runs excellent.  I created timers which are located in the lower right hand column of this Blog at the bottom of the page.  One that started since the purchase of the car and one since its last repair.  Right now they are the same time but this will allow you to keep track of how long I have this car and when and how many repairs it has had since its purchase.  I drive it to work and back and maybe to Cleveland once every three months.  My work is 21 miles round trip.  Lets see if I got a good deal.  If this car lasts one year with no repairs, it will have paid for itself.  My goal is three years with minor repairs.  Keep an eye on the timers in the right column at the bottom as these will be updated when the car needs any minor repair – FYI.

  • Time since new Car:
    4 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, 16 hours, 57 minutes, 25 seconds ago
  • Time since last Car Break Down:
    4 months, 2 weeks, 6 days, 20 hours, 57 minutes, 25 seconds ago
  • Repair Cost $300 Running since:
    4 months, 1 week, 3 days, 22 hours, 52 minutes, 25 seconds ago

    If a tree falls in the woods…

    It was 1:38AM last night.  I just dosed off when I heard what sounded like a bomb going off in the back yard.  The house started shaking and the noise was unbelievable for about 2 seconds the house shook with what sounded like the house being ripped apart.  Come to find out, our tree in the back yard had split in half and fell.   The corner of our roof was damaged.  Had the tree fell any other way, there would have been considerable more amount of damage than what actually happened. It fell so perfectly between the house and our neighbors house with minor damage to ours.  I uploaded the pictures I took this morning check them out…

    Sucky B-Day

    I didn’t go to work today since it really hurts to move and all the meds I took are tearing my stomach up.  This weather just blows…  Take this poll if you think you know me.

    Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
