As a new day dawns upon THMQ, our heroine checks her e-mail again and again, to find only rejection letters from nursing programs across the nation. Heartbroken, she envisions a future devoid of sponge bath practice and weeps for the lost opportunity. Her overnight dreams of CB and soapy sponges echo cruelly in her brain now that she knows it will never be. As she drags herself off to another lonely shower, she wonders if she will ever find the kind of happiness that only a sponge bath can bring. Her eyes blinded with tears, she runs into an oddly-placed pile of chairs, inexplicably covered with a shawl, and stubs her toe.
Godammit! What brainless genius put all the chairs here?

I’m not sleeping because I’m too lazy to go to bed. I’m sorry about the sleeping problems, that’s no fun. I better lumber off now, before it gets to be tomorrow.

Nah,

She’s got a lot of things to do durring the day I guess.

Thanks, had a great day.
Checked out your latest blog posting, good thoughts. Did Gwenn get to see what you wrote?
I was back reading a bit and it looks like I missed a bit of a brouhaha. I like that Fantasy came out swinging, good to know the meds aren’t keeping her down.

I am peachy, thanks. I’ve been doing some extended Mother’s Day traveling, visited with my sister, my mom, my grandma and my daughter. Think I might have to see a little bit more of the state and get in a visit with my Dad, I need some balance.

Comment #49373
Bed time, but one last pet peeve before I go: Term Life Insurance.
If you have a term life policy you are a sucker.
You have a large policy that you will pay for for 20 years that the insurance company knows you will not die within. That leaves you trying to renew (not gonna happen, sucker) when you’re twenty years older.
Buy a whole-life policy. Yes, it costs more for less, but you can borrow from some of them and you at least have guaranteed coverage for life.

My instinct is the former, Crash. I think Ralphy generally means to play along, it just doesn’t come out right. Of course, I always like to give people the benefit of the doubt.
Time for me to hit the sack, boyos.
Good night!

No…not a passion of mine…
And I was about to jump on RALPHY too, but hit the cancel reply option at the last moment

May 13, 2008 at 10:25 pm
Comment #49353
I generally only smoke indoors at home. I used to in bars when it was legal because that was where others were drinking and smoking.
I remember when bowling alleys had the ashtrays built into the tables.
But I have a problem with the obese people who want to have an attitude with me smoking outdoors, as if I make more pollution than the trucks that deliver their food to the local super-duper-market.
Fact: there is no smoking at Giants Stadium. No it’s not even a dome. Someone just decided that a complete oval constitutes an enclosed space and that means that you are inside…even if the rain and snow tells you otherwise!

Coming from CA it was always just habbit to smoke outside because it’s law there.
Which I’m not opposed to it, which is also why I don’t smoke in my house…
I never did,
I used to smoke in my car though…

glo ♥ -
that’s why i tried not to smoke when we went out to eat, even if we were in the smoking area. usually if i smoke, i do it in my car, my house or outside. i don’t even light up in other smokers’ houses unless invited to do so (i don’t ask, i wait)
see? no firestorm in this direction.

You have pretty much convinced me to suffer silently with my touchy tonsils, 2nd.
Hey, (((m-a)))! I think it’s pretty shitty of people to smoke where I’m trying to enjoy my food, and that’s all I’m going to say about it. *ducks from inevitable firestorm*
May 13, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Comment #49335
hey (((y’all)))
jumps up to peel tape off her ass dammit CB! i hate sitting on something sticky!
on the smoking issue - i smoke but i hate choking on clouds of smoke in a bar (La supposedly has a no smoking deal but i’ve yet to see any difference in the bars) i’ve always sat in the non-smoking area of resteraunts unless the wait was much shorter for smoking. all of that aside, i agree that if someone doesn’t like smoky atmospheres then they shouldn’t go places where lots of people smoke. hitting a business in the profits is the best way to handle that, attempting to control everyone else’s choices is pretty shitty.
thanks for the visual 2nd!

Well, Anglo, to answer your question, they’re not quite in my throat, they’re closer in the mouth. Where the tonsils used to be. It looks a little bit like melted blue cheese there in the back. Yum yum.

Comment #49331
The horror stories are a little exaggerated, but the worst is apparently when the scabs start coming off. I haven’t noticed any difference yet, so I’m wondering if I’ve hit that stage yet. If not, then I want to get there, so I can be done with this mess as soon as possible.
May 13, 2008 at 9:25 pm

I’m kinda sick of this sore throat. I still can’t really eat or drink much of anything. Oatmeal, chicken broth and soy ice cream have been my diet lately. And I have another 5-10 days of this shit.

OK, who’s the fucking asshole who put tape all over my chair?
I get distracted and don’t show up at THMQ for a day, and miss some of the best conversations in a long time? Dammit! My way-too-late 2 cents. I hate being in bars or restaurants where people smoke. I love that SF, for the most part, is smoke-free. You’ll find some skanky dives that ignore the rule, but for the most part, it’s much nicer without. No, I may not be looking for my health in a bar, but I still find other people’s cigarettes gross. And UHG, if you weren’t able to find bars in CA, you obviously weren’t in SF. I can take you around to at least five bars on my street that are neither restaurants, nor clubs. OK, maybe they serve pizza or something, but still - bars.
Good to see Claw in the TMHQ. He always brings the edge that I’m looking for. Claw, if you read this, I saw your comment about serious things like discussions of surgeries. I’m the one who has most recently had one, and I would still love your humor. I’m a big boy, you can make light of a shitty situation.

We get mostly decent people as guests–they are generally pleased to be getting a bit of a vacation if they are here for leisure or, if they are here on business, they are generally pleased to be not staying at a cookie-cutter hotel.
But we do occasionally get assholes, to be blunt. The last really nasty one we had was a guy who was all worked up that he had to park in the larger overflow parking lot, which increased his walk to the door by about thirty feet. He complained all evening about it and then complained to me again in the morning about it. I must have repeated, “I am sorry you were inconvenienced” about twenty times. Luckily, he told me he was not going to come back, so I won’t have to deal with him again.

My day was extremely uneventful. I spent most of it making sure Chester didn’t have to sit on the couch without a human cushion. In a way, I feel slightly guilty–I haven’t been home very much lately, and I feel almost like that caused him to be sick. Irrational, but sometimes I am.
