A Very Important Question

Last night I was watching tv after my nine-hour workday, and while pondering over my grandma's new perm, which looks something like this:



I began sort of wondering: what is going to happen to the permanent machines when all the now-old people are gone? People my age, and most of my parents' age do not get them. They will become obsolete? There has to be thousands of these creepy looking machines floating around the old boutiques in your area. What will be done with them all?

This is what came to me: a landfill full of these worthless devices. Seriously? Why didn't we think of this sooner? Call your local politicians, they'll probably write a letter and nothing will ever happen, until it's too late.

H1N-NASTYYY (and other important things)

So here's the deal. Two of the kids I live with have the H1N1 thing. I keep telling them they're going to turn into pigs, but they don't get the joke. I'm thinking about going to the doctor on Monday for some preventative Tamiflu, but the pediatrician said it's best to go ahead and get it and build up an immunity then to try to prevent it. It's kinda inevitable, I suppose. But with my health issues (although I realize they're minor compared to some people I know) I'm a little concerned. If something is in the air, I generally catch it... and on top of severe allergies, chronic sinus issues, and asthma... well, it's the last thing I need.

I mean, I guess H1N1 is the last thing anyone needs. Except maybe the 5-year old I live with. His mother said, "This is a good opportunity for you to learn to sit still." I'm not so sure he agrees. He then told me he hoped I got it. But only after first telling his mom he hoped she got it...

so he can "eat all of the candy in the house while she's in bed."

Not gonna happen, little turkey. You can give that one up right now.

But, I do have to say this. H1N1 is not deadly to the normal person. Everyone is freaking out about it. Understandable. But if you're in decent health and take care of yourself while you have it, it's almost exactly like the normal flu. This is straight from the doctor's mouth. Not mine. Just so you know.

SO QUIT WITH YOUR PROPAGANDA, MEDIA. I will not fear you, H1N1. I shall conquer.

(Probably because of Tamiful. But still, I win. You lose.)

To the Woman at Register 1, Ross, 2:46PM, Saturday:

You may think your matching short purple shorts and purse are the coolest thing since the Gaither Vocal Band, but I can assure you, miss(mrs? dunno), that I have seen pictures from 5(6?) years ago, and they definitely weren't hip then either.

PS-Neither were the snowmen hand towels you returned. Wait, why would you return hand towels? Were they a gift? Who says, you know, I need some hand towels for my bday. Seriously. Bad gift idea. So is not knowing your home well enough to buy them and them not match or something.

For the record, snowmen designs don't match your home, even in winter when your daughter brings the grandkids over to build one, which, duh, will never happen in this state.
