Video Mid Day Distraction- AC/DC: Jailbreak -Paddy’s FREE!

Five days later, but it’s finally over. I really can’t grump, but it feels wonderful to be home and the dogs went apesh*t when I walked thru the door. Boo doesn’t want to stop licking me and won’t leave my side and even Beamer seemed happy to see me. Never thought I’d be happy to see a pile of bills! Everyone at St Joe Med Center was wonderful and all the well wishes from ya’ll helped I’m sure. Wheeee!!

A Heaktfelt Thank You, Part Two

I’m not wont to big expressions of emotion, but even in my grouchy soul, I have things I want to acknowledge as well.

I’m thankful Jeff only lost a finger not a hand, slightly less thankful that the Cancer Troll came to visit, but VERY thankful that it left so fast. Thankful for my friends old and new that have made this past year one of the best I’ve had in ages. Thankful every day for such an easy and seamless partnership with GottaLaff

And finally, I’m grateful for each and every one of you guys who drop by to check out what we think is important, and are always ready with a snarky retort or cutting dig. You make me smile, and that’s a good thing.

In the (semi) words of my idol Lou Grant, “Yeah, I’m thankful for allayouse buns, so gettoutta here and don’t tell anyone I said that!”

Happy Thanksgiving

I refuse to get all maudlin and stuff so just let me say that I’m very thankful for the many good things that happened to me this year, that I’m able to really see that next year is going to be better and to be looking forward to it. I’m thankful for all our wonderful readers and the old friends who became new friends because of the intertubes, Gotta gets a whole chunk of grateful for being the easiest person to hang with on an adventure like this blog, and Lucian for helping. And my Brother and Sister. The Dog. The Jeff. I guess sometimes things just really don’t suck as much as you think they do.

I’m going to be doing a holiday referral post tomorrow and will be updating it thru the weekend, so if you have or know of any cool books, ebooks, website, products or charities you’d like to recommend for holiday gifting, email me here and I’ll check them out.
