Have a unhappy Wednesday - good luck

Sales of "Jesus In My Hashbrowns" have been tepid but I did get an inquiry on ebay from a customer that seemed interested.  However he or she was looking to trade a piece of toast which seemed to have Jesus burned on it but they also said Jesus seemed to look a lot like Mayor Bob of Columbus.

So I'm thinking that perhaps we should put Mayor Bob In My Toast up for sale WITH Jesus in my Hashbrowns on ebay.  What do you think??? Do you think we could get Columbus on NBC News?  Maybe Fox the Christian Mock News channel?

Just between you and me Jesus is looking more and more like Justin Timberlake.

I am SO pissed off at my DVR and Direct TV this morning.  I FINALLY got caught up to the beginning of THIS years LOST.  However I read that last nights LOST would run 6 minutes over time so I went into my settings on my DVR to make sure I recorded an extra 15 minutes and SAVED.  HOWEVER - I did not see that the settings would ALL revert back to the default settings.  So in doing so I lost the 1st three episodes because it only kept the last five.    DAMN IT!!

I did watch Pacific -Episode Two and feel it was rather disjointed as you really did not get the entire picture of what was happening except a lot of bloodbath.  The war in Europe was easier to understand as you have moving lines of troops and fronts!

For informational purposes there were 11,000 Marines on Guadalcanal who had a total of 14 days of food with them which would have to last for 4 months.

With the victory on Guadalcanal the Japanese were on the defensive. This was a huge huge victory.

Join Sharon and Doug Caldwell in the 20th Annual Heinie Ride, Saturday May 8th. DJ and I are going on ride it.this year.  It's a 23 mile bike ride. 23 miles is not that long at all.  Typically if you can ride 12 miles you can go 20 and there is Pizza at the end.   They even have their own website now. Check out the Home of the Heinie Ride It'll be a hoot!!!!!

I went on and on about my fascination with Goth Rock and I think people have the wrong idea about just what Goth Rock is.  It's also called Symphonic Rock and is typically played with a full orchestra and choir.  My newest favorite Goth Rock band (Nightwish) has the London Philharmonic on stage with them for the BIG concerts.

However - as I explored this musical genre (genrea) I found a band Ritchie Blackmore formed in 1995 I believe.  If you remember Blackmore was one of the members of Deep Purple and Rainbow. 

Well Ritchie and his wife Candice Night went a slightly different direction and if you are in an Enya-ish, Loreena Mckennitt mood you will like them.  I found them on Pandora.com which is a fantastic place for music.  Type in an artist and you can listen to all sorts of music you have never heard before.

Ever have a DVD that plays trailers and you can't get out of the stupid trailers and get to the main menu?  Here is a trick.   On your remote - hit STOP  STOP and then PLAY - you should get to the main menu that way on most DVDs.

I think my mom had a mini stroke!   I was not going to mention this but perhaps this will help educate a little.  I called her Saturday and things seemed off.  She could not think of common words.  She was not confused or slurring but the words just were not there. Common words.  She was frustrated that she just could not think of the words she wanted to use.

After I got off the phone I was doing some research and it could have been a thyroid condition or maybe an ITA (mini stroke - which is a REAL stroke but a small one lasting a few minutes to a day).

I called Sunday and all seemed right again until I confused her by saying it was the wrong day (my bad) and then something clicked and she was back to 75% of her vocabulary again!

I called Monday and could not get an answer.

Yesterday I called and she said she spent the night in the Hospital.  She was confused at her vocabulary and she ALSO thought she had an ITA - the PROBLEM was that she could not TELL the people in the hospital what she thought she had, the words were not coming out.    So they treated here for lack of fluids because she was dizzy (which she wasn't but could not tell them that).

They sent her home telling her to drink more water and there was nothing wrong that they could see.

So when I talked to her yesterday I said "ITA/mini stroke" and the light went on and she said YES THAT WAS IT and wrote it down and is calling her doctor today.

Have as good of a Wednesday as you can. Research says that Wednesdays are the unhappiest day of the week with noon the lowest point in the entire week for happiness.  And if you are between 41 to 50 you are in your unhappiest years of your life so . . . . . . if you are 41 to 50 at noon on Wednesday you are VERY VERY unhappy.

I'll have more in this tomorrow.
