now i know Posted 11/28/2007 2:25:22 PM i have been contemplating, and just realized something that i should have thought about years ago. i could have saved a good deal of money over the years, by not buying calendars. who needs a calendar? today, i saw proof positive that christmas is coming. i saw a commercial for the clapper. can the chia pet be far behind? every year, without fail, when christmas is drawing nigh, here come the commercials for these two products. apparently, the companies that make them have no desire to sell them at any other time of the year. i have never, in my entire life, seen a commercial for them, except for this time of year. so, my new year's resolution will be to save the five bucks, and simply wait until i see a clapper commercial again, and i will know that christmas is around the corner (1) Comments

dog days???? Posted 8/16/2007 5:16:52 PM this is a blog coco posted on his myspace page. i just thought i'd toss it up here. hey guys. dad says these are the dog days of summer. who the hell dreamed that up? dad just checked a few minutes ago, and it is 109 degrees outside. we don't get to go for rides. we haven't for two weeks. yeah, a couple of times when dad was just going to the store for a minute, he wet our heads and we got to go. big deal, fifteen minutes. we've told dad we don't care, we just want to go, but he says that if we have to be in the van more than about fifteen minutes we can't go. even when we go out to go potty, it is too hot. the grass, it used to be grass, is hot and burns our feet. we have to hurry and go potty and get back inside. i thought dog days was supposed to be some kind of celebration (1) Comments

MY EMPTY BAG Posted 7/12/2007 9:24:42 AM I ACTUALLY WROTE THIS A YEAR AGO, BUT, SINCE I AM FACING THE SITUATION AGAIN, HAVING PUT IT OFF FOR A WEEK, I THINK I'LL JUST PUT IT UP AGAIN. my empty bag well, almost two weeks have passed since i last found my bag empty. that is the bag that i bring home from the laundromat, smelling a hell of a lot better than when they left home. it means that i have endured almost two hours of exerting energy and boredom as i watch the stuff roll around in the dryer. last time, i got to watch most of "the price is right" as i watched the moisture leave my clothes. the laundromat has a tv by my least favorite place of all, the folding table. that was a tolerable situation since, although i haven't watched the show for several years, it was better scenery than seeing the colors changing in the dryer. many times in my life i've been lectured about watching the colors change as the clothes roll around the dryer. it was usually because that meant that i had put colored things in with the whites. so? i am fully aware of the propensity of NEW red shirts turning underwear a really pretty pink when they are first washed. i've had the pink, yellow, blue, and one time, some kinda chautreuse underwear because i just couldn't see using a whole washer for one, or even three sweatshirts or whatever. anyway, it's my underwear. nonetheless, today i had to use four washers and two dryers for my laundry. that's because my bag was truly empty. my bag is usually where my clothes are. it's so easy to just reach into the bag and grab a shirt and pair of pants. socks can be a problem becasue they are all laying there in the bag, somewhere. if you worry about having socks that match, the problem is easily solved by only buying one kind. that way, any two socks you grab out of the bag are sure to match. i didn't get to watch the tv today becausee the spanish channel was on, and while i had three years of spanish in school, and have ursed it frequently, and can read it fairly well, i can't understand much of what is said. But, i did get the clothes folded and put into the bag. now i'm home, and the bag is on the bed, and i have a problem. like an idiot, i put the sheets in the bottom of the bag. that means that i will either have to put the clothes in the bag into the closet and drawers, or i'm going to have to sleep on the mattress with no sheets until the clothes are gone from the top of them. unfortunately, the latter is not really a viable option, so that means that my laundry trauma hasn't ended even though i'm home. my bag will be empty today, and it will be hard to know when i have to face the laundromat again. just another trauma (1) Comments

what's wrong? Posted 7/11/2007 10:51:37 AM i am truly perplexwed. it's almost more than i can bear. not only has uniformity been tossed out the window, but basic facts have been ignored. one problem has exixsted for more than a while. as a rule, i drink two pots of coffee in the morning. of course, when i tell you that, you have no idea how much coffee i drank this morning. that is because the us department of commerce, under whose auspices the wieghts and measures come, has failed to perform it's job. when i was a wee lad in school, which i will grant that i was never "wee", and that it has been a long time since i was in school, i really do think i remember learning that a "cup" is eight ounces. eight fluid ounces equal one cup okay, i'll grant that my coffee cup is twelve ounces. however, that simply muddies the water. the thing is, since everyone knows that a cup is eight fluid ounces, why doesn't my ten cup coffee pot make ten cups of coffee? i will never buy anything produced by mr coffee. while i think that joe dimaggio was one of the greatest baseball players of all time, his minions over at the shop not only do not understand that a cup means eight ounces, but they didnd't even respond when i wrote a letter bitching about the fact that my ten cup coffee pot only made me six cups of coffee. since this was my cup, that does amount to eight cups as i was taught in school. once again, somebody sold me something under false pretenses. the box said "ten cup coffeee maker". it only makes eight cups. suppose we follow this to the logical conclusion. every recipe book calls for cups of this, half cups of that, and so forth. i know this becasue a couple of girlfriends i have had actually did use recipe books to make things. of course, these books do me no good, but, i can read the box of stove top. it says to put 1 1/2 cups of water in the pan. this will make the stuffing so you can eat it with a spoon. if i were to go by mr. coffee's perceptions, i would have to use a damn steak knife to cut through it. you do see what the problem is. they lie. then there's this thing with clothes. these fools are even worse than mr coffee. i just sent a shirt and pair of jeans to dum dum's daughter in oregon. i haven't seen her in years but i have seen recent pictures. i went to k=mart and got a medium shirt and a size 10 pair of jeans. then , i get a call saying that the clothes are too big because she wears a size 0. you have to be shitting me. a size 0? that means that you aren't there. size is a manifestation of your height, girth, and other factors. if you were a size zero, that means that you have no height, no weight or girth, in other words you cannot be. i know that i wear 40x32 pants. i have no idea what size that is supposed to be, but when i grab a pair of 40x32 pants, they'd better fit. i wear a two x shirt. two x means that it's twice as big as a large. every 2x shirt i buy had better be the same size. which brings us to yet another bit of stupidity. a size eight should be a size eight. i have no idea what the qualification for being a size 8 is. however, whatever it is, a size eight should be a size eight. if you get it at wal-mart, sears, or are crazy enough to go to macy's, when you see size eight, that should mean that if you wear a size 8 it will fit you. why is a size 8 a size ten at one store, and a size six at another. these are just more examples of the attempts by the government and ceos all over the world to confuse you and make you think you're crazy. it's worked with me.

why me lord? Posted 7/8/2007 2:10:25 PM anyone who has ever had a golden retriever puppy knows that they have two speeds, asleep, and full bore. anyone who has ever had knee surgery knows that this can lead to problems. i can get around much better now, but it's still necessary for goldie to go on the rope when she goes out. the rope is thirty feet so she can go out a ways from the apartment. yesterday, she and coco heard the puppy two doors down from us yelping, and had to investigate. of course, goldie went around the post holding up the little porch roof in front of the door. when i yelled at them to come on and go in, goldie had to run. unfortunately, the post was not that sturdy, so down came the post, and part of the roof. this sent both kids scampering for cover, and created the additional problem of having to get goldie unwound from another post. at least the lad in that apartment was able to get the post back under the roof somewhat so it wasn't drooping, but it sure doesn't look right. did goldie learn anything from this experience? short answer is NO!!
