    Damn Labor Party!!! I have no idea what that means, but hey, hope you guys across the pond have a good go at it.

    Why, also, do we mourn when those we love die? Shouldn't we be delighted that they have gone to heaven and are at peace, eternally? I suppose it's for selfish reasons that we mourn, but it's only, I feel, because we are completely forgetting what we actually say we believe. My mother died a painful death, very premature, due to cancer. I think sometimes in sadness about what she had to endure -- it took place, after all, right there in front of me. But then I remember that what she felt is moot because she no longer is feeling that. It is of no more consequence than the fact that years ago I had a cavity that hurt, or I banged my elbow on a table. Do I feel it now? No? Then what does it matter? The current reality is all that matters, and what went before is over and done. My mom is not currently lying in a bed with cancer destroying her insides, calling out in pain. She is at perfect peace, whether that means heaven or oblivion. It's reason to

    Apparently he was also riding a very high performance motorcycle. This was about as smart as it would be for me to try and jump a 97 and hook it in. If I signed a contract saying no jumps, I wouldn't jump. Your word should mean something.

    Craft beers rule. I live in frigid freaking Pennsylvania, but we have really great craft brewers here (Victory, Troegs, Penn, etc), and we have more bars with cask beers than any other state. You haven't live until you've had Troeg's Hopback Amber Ale on cask.

    Vincent's Pizza in Pittsburgh. Big, greasy, toppings thrown on by the handful, secret-recipe dough. Complete indulgance.

    Shoot him. Shit like that is why I got a concealed carry permit.

    I got too used to my face being clean shaven in the military. Probably explains my short short hair as well.

    I'd hit it.

    #10 The management of the hospital I work at. I used to enjoy my job, now I spend more time doing paperwork and trying to keep from laughing in their smug faces when they tell me of the latest cutesy feel good do nothing project. I don't care when everyone's birthday is. Get me a damned pulse ox meter or BP cuff that works, or batteries in the IV pumps that aren't so freaking old they can no longer hold a charge. Fuck! Just let me be a fucking nurse for once, not some paper pushing drone. /yes, I hate my job now.

    Yeah, that or "dropping the kids off at the pool". How about, you can speed type markup tags? I always say I'm going to see a man (John) about a horse (big and brown) Thanks, you've been a great audience, I'm here all week

    - You find yourself brainstorming for new subjects to Google. OMG, that hits way too close to the mark for me. I found a hand held laser module that can pop balloons and light matches from a search like that.

    India pale ales were originally developed to survive the trip from England to India~hence the name. They are usually aggressively hopped and higher in alcohol content to prevent spoilage. American Double IPA's take it to the next level, because there are a lot of people in this world who are dedicated hop heads. This is a frighteningly good example, and Stone also makes some killer hoppy beers.

    Dude, I totally agree with you. Last time I drank that stuff, I ended up talking to myself

    I'm still laughing at this.

    So strong, so tasty What people are saying After a long night of work and more than my fair share of concern that one of my patients might have TB, this beer really makes me happy. 21% Alcohol. Yes, 21. 42 proof beer. It's not just a strong beer, it's a supremely well crafted IPA. Plenty of bitterness from the loads of hops they use. Understated malts. The hops are so prevalent they actually make this beer taste sticky and sweet and bitter all at the same time. I really needed this after the night I had.

    Grilled cheese sammiches. Two cast iron skillets on the burners (I have four total) nice crusty bread, thin layer of mustard on one side, good shredded cheese in the middle. Spritz some olive oil on both sides, take skillets off said burners, put the sammich in on skillet, rest the other on top, wait til you hear the sizzle of the cheese oozing out, and enjoy. Takes about five minutes to do and tastes oh so much better than ramen.

    Isn't reading someone else's mail a federal offense? I'd be pissed, I'd probably call them a few choice names and make disparaging comments about their ancestry, and then try to forgive them.

    More good news, I just got my Alti-2 today! Cool polished aluminum look, glow in the dark face, I'm so freaking eager to give this thing a test dive. Also got a cool patch and four ribbons, whatever those are for .

    I heal. I also do a shitload of paperwork.
