I asked a doctor how allergy shots

are supposed to work last night.  She said that they inject small amounts of what I am allergic to into my arm and build the doses up slowly so I build up an immunity and stop having reactions to what I am allergic to. I'm allergic to lots of things, including cats, which means that for the past 3 years I've been having kitty bits shot into my arm. Kind of gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling, huh?

I'm convinced that watching

the news too much is bad for your health. I watched it for 10 minutes today and thought the world was going to end. Then I turned the TV to South Park and now I am much better.

If you ever go camping with

a labradoodle, make sure it isn't raining and that there are no burrs within 10 miles of you. Just thought I would share that.

Today I found out that steering

a lawnmower with one wheel doesn't work well. That and vise grips can sometimes fix the problem if they don't pop off and get run over by the lawnmower you tried to fix with them.

Apparently, to work at

Radio Shack you don't need to know anything at all about electronics. Grrr.

It bothers me that the gear

oil from my transmission smells like body odor.

My dog chased a fly

around the house for well over an hour this evening. The fly finally landed on a chair and I smacked it dead. Unfortunately the dog didn't see that I killed it and he is still searching for it and won't sit still. I think he has ADD. 

I feel bad for Susan.

She invented a spinning thing you put stuff on to make life a little easier and now everyone calls it a "Lazy Susan." Susan wasn't lazy, she was intelligent and made something that makes the world a better place. Her invention should have a much better name like "Freaking Genius Susan" or "Awesome Susan" or "Susan's Cool Spinning Round Thing."

Bills would be so much

better if they paid themselves.

Today I had to figure out what

color "Aubergine" was. I am usually pretty good with my product colors, like salmon, plum, sunflower or xiling blue but this one had me stumped. It turns out, according to Wikipedia, it means eggplant, or more commonly, purple. Just call it freaking purple already. Save everyone the headache.

Today I used the lamest

excuse in the world to get out of a family function. It is completely true but to lame to believe. I'm going to consider myself disowned.

Why is it that every house

project ends up taking far longer and costs a lot more than you think?

I can think of anywhere cooler

to live than an abandoned missile silo.

Today I got my ears

cleaned out by an Airedale. Yes, it was as awkward as you think.
