This does not sound like good news.
No, it doesn’t!
My favorite radio station is going to be talk, the cats are being stupid and I don’t have any money to pull from the bank of my ass for HD radios for the house and the cars we drive. Fuck a motherfucker in the ear!
I pit my eternal nemesis Grilled Chicken. Ive spent all night TMI-ING and TMI-ING out of several available orifices thanks to the perfidity of this amoral bird of DEATH and the other three horsemen of the deceased salad: Homemade mayo, wooden cuttingboard and Hey-it’s-friggin-july.
Id rant more but my ivory throne beckons.
Do you have cable or dish TV? Our Dish subscription includes quite a few music channels. Nothing really on the screen, but I like to listen to Hair Nation and Liquid Metal, while my husband likes the mellower sounds of the 70s. This isn’t going to help you in your car, but check out your lineup on the guide. Broadcast radio has never been anything more than a vehicle for selling ads, but it seems to be getting worse lately. Yeah, talk radio was huge, but that was when it was actually talk, and not some nutjob ranting over his callers.
As for the cats, well, they’re cats.
My minirant is that my jaw hurts. Maybe it’s an abcessed tooth, maybe it’s just a beginning ear infection. It’s been hurting since yesterday. Both my doctor and my dentist are closed on Fridays.
I hear this. The ‘price of admission’ (a wonderful phrase from Dan Savage) with Boyfriend is apparently biting my tongue when he works too late, can’t get up in the morning, and then is late for everything. We don’t have kids, and this habit makes me nuts; I can only imagine how frustrating it is for you.
On the other hand, my mildly OCPD tendencies regarding morning routine probably qualify as my price of admission.
I have to go to Brisbane next week. One night. My normal hotel is around $139 a night. The night I am there the price is $429. Most other places are booked out. I have no idea why- there doesn’t seem to be any large event on.
They heard about your Pig and figured you’d come into money, obviously.
Sadly, I think I am going to be linked to my worthless pig as Hal Briston is to sheep. Not as intimately though. 
Sure, I love cats. I should warn you, though… I have a tattoo. But you’ll never see it unless you barge in on me in the shower. 
Hmmmph. My cat has a tattoo.
Thanks for that… unfortunately my friend passed away Friday morning. He was only 66 and seemed to be in good health until this week. 
And it’s too damn hot. Boyfriend wants to go clean out his storage unit today but he’s still in bed. I don’t want to be rooting around in a stuffy storage unit when it’s 90+ out.
When I get a toothache or earache, I just assume that I’ve got an infection of some kind flaring up and check to see if there’s any unused antibiotics in the house.
Probably incredibly irresponsible of me, but it’s gotten me through the night on more than one occasion.
Also many radio stations stream live over the internet (for people who have speakers on their computers).
I’m trying to think of a circumstance that would make someone have to travel to a different city for one night, that would not be possible to stick the summoning party with the tab for one’s accommodations.
I was asked to work overtime last week and then not paid for it this paycheck. I swear this company is run by complete assholes. Now I know I’ll have to make at least three calls to get this straightened out and then hope my pay shows up in two weeks.
Jerks. Pricks. Schmucks.
I don’t expect much from the cats but i had to chase one Thursday at 1 am because she got out and is declawed. She came to us declawed so she can’t be outside.
Mostly I listen to radio in the car, since i have an mp3 player that i listen to while doing chores but if i want news i’ll turn on msnbc. I have cable through Comcast, but haven’t tried the music channels yet.
For those of you out there who still venerate the US healthcare system…
When my firm collapsed, we had no idea how long our Cobra would last. Ended up being one month, with the standard 3 or 4 months to pay. So while looking for work, I purchase catastrophic coverage. This requires continuity of insurance, so I now have to pay $750 to that one month of COBRA coverage a couple of months ago, despite never using it.
It’s an utterly stupid system.
I have my cable receiver hooked up to one of the audio inputs on my receiver so I can listen to the music channels through the good speakers. (Also, I don’t have to leave the TV on.)
Antibiotics generally don’t provide pain relief in the short run. At any rate, I finish every course of antibiotic, unless I develop an allergy to it. I’m allergic to six antibiotics now. Which is a minirant in itself. Anyway, I’m relying on hydrocodone and a hot water bottle to get me through the weekend. The pain has subsided, and I think that I might not need antibiotics this time. I vastly prefer not to take them unless I have to. This is because I don’t want to become allergic to a seventh kind of antibiotic…
I’ve never attributed any relief I got to the antibiotics per se, just to the assistance they give my immune system in beating down the underlying infection that I’m inferring is responsible for the inflammation.
I’m generally blessed with a pretty good immune system, it appears.
