I'm heading to Texas shortly. Lynn's mom had a massive stroke a couple of days ago. He flew down on Wednesday. She is responsive and knows what happened but is mostly paralyzed on the left side.
His step dad has already had two strokes over the last few years and has been suffering from seisures for the last year. He lost his license but is now driving back and forth to the hospital, 40 miles away. At least its out in rural Texas, so less likely to kill someone.

Is it nuts to walk half way across O'Hare, just for a cup of frozen pomegranate yogurt with strawberries? Posted via LiveJournal.app.

What a wonderful way to spend the night. Currently stranded at O'Hare. Waiting on the second hotel shuttle, since there were too many for the first one. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

Even someone as healthy as Jack LaLanne eventually passes. He died Sunday at the age of 96.

Is it bad to drop a lot of homoerotic comments around a cute young straight boy? One who is at your house because he wants you to help him build his new computer.

Just a quick entry to wish everyone a happy new year.
L and I aren't planning on going out tonight, since we both have to work in the morning.
And he doesn't get off tonight until after 8:00. We may do a grocery run when he gets off, but other than that, it's a stay at home night.
I'm also not feeling 100%, since I have apparently caught a cold over the last couple of days.

5:55 pm - Bullying
|
So there is a lot of talk in the media now about bullying. And I can't help but think there is very little that can be done in this country. "We are bullies" should be our national motto. How can we expect to stop people from being bullied, when our entire culture revolves around it.
We make fun of our own citizens on a regular basis. We have a history of invading other countries and declaring war because we don't like "those people", they are different. We promote sports and competitions that are designed to belittle and destroy the weak and timid. Parents applaud their children for being strong and forceful.
And when cases of bullying are broadcast by the media, there is a whole sector of the population that rolls their eyes and comments about how those cry babies should just buck it up and take it. Obviously they're weaklings and deserve what they get.
I don't know, maybe I'm just sensitive to the feelings, since I was bullied as a kid. Although, back then, you weren't called a fag, you were a sissy....
current mood:  pissed off

6:07 pm - Volunteering
|
L and I volunteered to help out with Stand Up For Synergy on Saturday night. It wouldn't have been so bad except the store waited until last Thursday to plead for volunteers. We have a new supervisor who is over community involvement who is a real B. She doesn't broadcast what events are coming up. Other people will find out and then beg for assistance and she just brushes it off. If no body shows up, no big deal.
There was an event scheduled a couple of weeks ago. Something that had been committed to back in April. When she was approached about it, she basically said, there's a store meeting and that is more important. Besides, that commitment was made before she took over. What a great attitude and way to promote how involved you are with the community you serve.
So the Synergy event had Jay Leno as the guest entertainer. Not that I am a big Leno fan. The whole evening was kind of a "CF". The plans for what we were supposed to do, changed about 50 times in the course of the evening. But I guess all those people paying $500 - 10,000 a plate were happy and Synergy made a big haul. So everything turned out ok.

I am getting really cynical as I get older. All of the political ads leave me cold and I can't wait for it to be over again. It's not like any candidate for public office is better. They're all FOS. Party affiliation has no bearing. They all say the same thing.
I am now looking through 7000+ pictures from the trip. I was accused several times of making it a boy watching trip. What can I say?

Temps are starting to cool. The first signs that fall is on the way. Although I do like the cooler temps, I don't like the impending winter it leads too.....

10:58 pm - EyeFi
|
So I bought an EyeFi card the other day and installed it tonight. We'll see how well it does on the trip.
If you're wondering what an EyeFi card is. No it isn't another iPhone toy. Although there is an iPhone EyeFi app.
It is a WiFi enabled 8GB SDHC memory card for the camera. It is supposed to wirelessly transfer pics from the camera to the computer, or upload to Flickr, whenever it is in range of the wireless receiver.
It did transfer the test shot, but we'll see how well it works with lots of pics on the card.

So what is it that frightens Americans so much about a penis? First I saw an interview with the cast of True Blood and all of the guys were talking about wearing "the sock". And then I just rented the first season of The Lair and then saw an interview with one of the characters and he also talked about "the sock". Gods forbid we actually see a penis. Obviously, the whole world would come to a crashing end. Maybe that's what will happen of 12/21/2012. We'll all see penises and the world will just stop.....
