Basically most people are bad at multitasking. With my cynical head on I reckon most can barely manage walking and breathing at the same time, let alone anything more compicated e.g. walking along reading a newspaper and not bumping into people. Which is exactly what I met today on the way into work. A woman (normally allegedly capable of multitasking) was walking along reading a paper. To call her path chaotic would be an understatement, yet never once did she look where she was going, presumably in the assumption that others would get out of her way, which they did. Ignorance like this should be rewarded in one way: Being dragged out back and summarily shot. ---

My recycling wasnā€™t picked up Monday. I hope they donā€™t get the same lame preacher like my grandmaā€™s funeral at my grandpaā€™s funeral, giving us a come-back-to-jesus-spiel. ---

Fuck these newspaper clowns for tossing papers on our ROOF or banging the paper on the door so hard that itā€™s almost like someone trtying to break in. Fuck them with a pineapple dipped in broken glass AND gunpowder for their obituary price of $260. ---

Shouldnā€™t somebody start a new mini-rants thread so this one can be tossed in the incinerator and its ashes scattered over New Hampshire? ---

> [@moejoe](#): > > have you tried the generic for compezine for the nausea? It works well for me. I think I have, a while back. The PA asked me what I wanted yesterday but I was in no condition to give a coherent answer. She talked to the neurologist and the Zofran was what they came up with. So far, so good. If it comes back, Iā€™ll go in for a shot of Toradol. ---
