So, maybe before I shared this with you, you didn’t know there was such a thing as an ironic beard. Don’t feel left out or less hip. Because I didn’t either…which is ironic. (psst…I have a beard) But through some odd search results, for an entirely different topic, I found out about “hipster facial hair.” Apparently there was (and is?) a hipster subculture that … Read the rest…
You and I live in an atmosphere full of germs. And it’s been that way on good ol’ planet Earth for your whole life. Doesn’t matter how old you are. Bacteria, viruses, and all their little germ cousins are everywhere. And here’s a real kicker. They’re even setting up homes in your mask of death. “Whoa, mask of death?! That sounds like a conspiracy … Read the rest…
Apparently the idea of good vibrations dates all the way back to ancient Greece. A few years back I got on a whole body vibration machine. And I think those Greeks were on to something. Because, even though I didn’t try to count and see if my muscles contracted and relaxed 30 times each second, it sure felt like it. And that’s supposed to be … Read the rest…
I’ve always believed it’s a good idea to be nice to nurses. And doctors and other medical practitioners. Because they have to see and deal with a lot of the ugly side of life. And death. But especially be nice to nurses. Just imagine having the job of caring for people who moan and groan. And complain and gripe. Sometimes it’s an 8 … Read the rest…
If Thanksgiving turkey wasn’t such a normal part of this holiday every year, just think how many turkeys would never have even been born…uh…hatched. But tell that to the living turkeys and see if it makes them more thankful. My guess is… No Thanksgiving turkey gives it a second thought either way. And that’s because those birds don’t tend to have logic and reason. … Read the rest…
Little kids can be so cruel. Makes you wonder where they get it. Right? And it’s always been that way. In fact, I remember, waaayyy back in the 20th century, when I was but a wee lad, kids would taunt other kids who cried about something. And if you listen real close, you might even hear ’em. “Crybaby crybaby na na na na na … Read the rest…
Some of my wacky friends (and in this case, wacky is a term of endearment) are on that keto diet thing. And it’s been around long enough I’m sure you know it’s a low-carb, high-fat and high-protein diet. And that’s just a simplification description. So, don’t send me messages about the finer points. Because I’m not here to tell anybody not to go keto. … Read the rest…
R.A.D.S. Last week that acronym came up in my life. And if you’ve dealt with it, you know what a nuisance (at best) it can be. The letters stand for “Reactive Airways Disease Syndrome.” But regardless of what you call it, I can tell you it’s absolutely no fun when you can’t breathe normally. You don’t know how vital it is to breathe … Read the rest…
Woke up after only one hour of sleep last night. And I quietly dragged myself out to the living room where I was greeted, with glee, by Sleepy Man. One of the most dastardly, sinister, and passive aggressive villains you’ll ever encounter. Because I’m not even sure he understands he’s a villain. And Sleepy Man doesn’t have super powers. He has something much worse. … Read the rest…
So, Tony…was the balloon sinuplasty fun? Oh yeah. If you’re looking for something to do on your next vacation, let me suggest taking a nice balloon sinuplasty ride. Because it’ll be a vacation you’ll never forget. Balloon sinuplasty has a fun ring to it, right? Yeah, about as fun as kissing your mother-in-law on the lips. But seriously, considering the surgery involves a … Read the rest…
