The Purina diet

 

 

Yesterday I bought 2 large bags of Purina dog chow at Wal-Mart, for my dogs.

I was about to check out when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think, that I had an elephant?

Since I had little else to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, and that I was starting the Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital last time. On the bright side though, I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of every hole in my body and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and the way it works is to load your pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the Purina dog food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it  again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was enthralled with my story by now.)

Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food had poisoned me. I told her no; I had stopped in the middle of the parking lot to lick my butt and a car hit me.

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he was laughing so hard!

WAL-MART won't let me shop there anymore.

....and you thought there was no such place!

Up there without one

How many times have we been there "without one"?  Hahahahaha....

 

My public service is done for the day.

hee hee...

A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and HMO paperwork and was burned out. Hoping to try another career where skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to become a mechanic.

 

He went to the local technical college, signed up for evening classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could. When the time for the practical exam approached, the gynecologist prepared carefully for weeks and completed the exam with tremendous skill. When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of 150%. Fearing an error, he called the instructor, saying, "I don't want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wonder if there is an error in the grade."

 

The instructor said, "During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark.” You put the engine back together again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark." After a pause, the instructor added, "I gave you an extra 50% because you did it all through the muffler, which I've never seen done in my entire career."

 

What goes through YOUR mind......

.....when someone says "Let's go for a drink" ??

 

 

Lets go for a drink 1

 

Lets go for a drink 2

 

Lets go for a drink 3

Today's thought: 1.9.09

Where there's a will, there's a way.

  Where there's hope, there's a chance

Where there's a note, there's a song.

  Where there's a beat, there's a dance.

 

Where there's a joke, there's a laugh.

  Where there's a smile, there's a friend.

Where's there's a bud, there's a Spring.

  Where there's a road, there's a bend.

 

Where there's a hurt, there's a pain.

  Where there's a loss, there's a sorrrow.

Where there's a heart, there's a joy.

  Where there is love, there is tomorrow.

QotD: High School Romance

What was the best date you went on in high school?

I had no bad dates in high school.

I had no good dates in high school.

I had no dates in high school.

 

 

My first date was when I was 19.  I was a late bloomer....who caught up quickly. :)

Innovation is all perspective: The MacBook Wheel

Apple has just introduced the Macbook Wheel laptop that...does away with the keyboard.  It ONE big wheel with a button.

 

Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard

Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard

 

It's sleek, thin, light, and runs efficiently.  But from what I can see, I am not sure if I want to give up my keyboard for a wheel.  I happen to like my keyboard where characters are just one click rather than a scroll to find a letter. What is this.....roulette?  

Will this make having multiple fingers obsolete?  Will there be a new type of repetitive strain injury for this type of product?

The part that made me laugh, though, was when they said that it was "virtually unbreakable....unless hit or dropped".  What else would break a laptop except those those types of incidents?  It's not like a kitten passing by....or a hard stare will do any lasting damage. :)  You want to be innovative?  Come out with out a lightweight laptop that can survive being hit and dropped.  That is what I would call an innovative breakthrough....and something the masses would go wild for.

But I digress.

 

Anybody ready to give up their keyboard yet?

VFC09: A slow start...

This is for the Vox Fitness Challenge people.  (everyone else can go on about their day! :))

 

I have been sick since New Year's so I have not had a chance to get moving on my own start to the challenge or post my stats. (although I bet that being sick, I have lost some weight..hahaha! I know...lame!)

Anyhoo....just a reminder for everyone to get their stats up so your starting point is noted.  Of course, if you are sick like me, then there will be a delay.  I will be posting as soon as I get better and not walking around like a wobbly newborn calf.

Soooo...let us know how you are doing so far....5 days in!

 

On another front, thank you very much to my neighbour Bookishly Fabulous, I have discovered a great tool for people to use to post their goals for visualization.  The best part is that its free! (yay! We love all things free!)

Check out www.joesgoals.com and www.joeslogbook.com for some ways that might help you with having visual reminders of your goals.

 

 

And if anyone wants to join us...it's not too late!
