  • Emergency fix

    For a very bad, no good, terrible day when no premade comfort food is available: take 1 rounded tablespoon of butter and mix with 1 tablespoon of cocoa and 2 tablespoons of icing sugar. Mix well and lick off the spoon. Do not share. Sent on the TELUS Mobility network with BlackBerry

  • Xanga, I have forsaken thee

    It's warm out, and I've been enjoying it as much as humanly possible. I've also been committing adultery with facebook, because most of the facebook people on my list are folks I know in person, friends, family, and people that have known me since I was three apples tall. There are a few I haven't met in person yet, but I'm getting around to it:)

    I'll be back, as soon as I have a garden brimming with tasty goodness, worthy of a few photographs, I'll be back.

    :D

  • Holy Sheeple Flu-man!!!

    People are getting a little too whipped up about this Swine Flu, I think.
     
    I was on the bus this morning and I started sneezing. Do I have Swine Flu? Noooo,,,,,I am allergic to Manitoba. It happens every spring since I moved here. Allergy meds were just kicking in for the day but I had a little snotfest on the bus. I knew it was coming so I got the kleenex out because Swine Flu or not, I am too polite to want to spray my boogers all over the place.
     
    Well, now I know how to get a seat by myself on the rush hour express!!!! I looked up from sneezing and everyone was STARING at me, big zombie stares. It was more than a little awkward, and then this man says, "Do you think you should be on this bus? Given the current state of things you're being very selfish." and everyone around hiim starts to look at their feet. Holy sheeple people!!!!!!
     
    No coffee, skipped breakfast because I am running late, and now I'm a snotty bugger = not a nice Coley. I got right in his face and said "Well maybe if you wouldn't BATHE in your aftershave I wouldn't be sneezing.....oink, oink, oink." Some people in the front of the bus snickered, but really. Are people that mindless and given to panic? Get off the bus my butt.!!!

    People have to come down from the ceiling a wee little bit. Over 35,000 people die from influenza every year in North America. That's what this is, a type of influenza. Something like close to 15,000 people get tuberculosis in North America every year, which, after working in an emergency room I can safely say is far fucking worse than any flu you'll ever get. Manitoba, FYI, along with most of Northern Canada, is a hepatitis vector. West Nile Virus hasn't wiped out civilization yet, either. Why we panic is beyond me. I guess with Communism over, and countries owning each other financially instead of picking world wars, we have to be freaky about something.

    You can still eat your bacon and pork chops, and anti-BACTERIAL preparations will do nothing for a virus, which is what this is - so don't give yourself contact dermatitis scrubbing off twenty times a day with antibacterial soap. Just be clean and live properly, and for the love of sufferin' fuck, don't freak out at ME on the bus!!!!
