The dollar Diet

I have set up a 12 week diet plan for me and the wife starting January 5Th.
The rules are:
Every Sunday at 7pm you weigh in.
You must lose 1 pound every week.
For every week you lose at least 1 pound you get 10 dollars set aside.
If you do not lose at least 1 pound every week, you owe 20 dollars for the week(s) you didn't lose the weight.
At the end of 4 weeks If you have lost at least 1 pound every week you get a twenty dollar bonus
If you go 8 weeks with losing at least 1 pound you get a 50 dollar bonus
If you go all 12 weeks with losing at least 1 pound every week you get a 110 dollar bonus.
At the end of the 12 weeks if you lost at least 1 pound every week on the diet You should have 300 dollars to spend on new clothes for the at least 12 pound lighter you.
The idea is you will lose much more than 12 pounds, be health, and be rewarded for it.
I have also heard that after you change your lifestyle for three months it sticks.
One clause, if a goal of 15 pounds is lost for Kristina and 20 pounds is lost for Stephen, before the end of the 12 weeks $300 will automatically be rewarded.

My FM sanity

Yesterday on my way to my second stop my truck broke down. I was able to get into a new truck very quickly and get back to my deliveries. There was only one problem the new truck didn't have a radio. I didn't think it would be a big deal to be with out a radio for a couple of days. I was very very wrong. I found it was very hard to concentrate, gather my thoughts, stay focused, and smile or be happy. The radio helped me keep my sanity. I kept getting carnesia, and the day just didn't go smoothly at all. Today at 7:30am I got the call that my truck was ready. I dropped everything and went back for my truck. When I turned the key to start my truck, the radio was up loud and morning sickness's was blaring. It felt like I took a backpack full of rocks off my back and climbed into the truck. I quickly got back on track and with the help of my radio, I got through my day. I will never take it for granted again.
Some good things did come of the absent radio, I thought about many things. I will talk about some major ideas I put together during this time very soon. One has to be finalized with the wife, and the major announcement will come when it has been cleared by the blogfather.

Carnesia ( how did I get hear)

Today on the way to work I was running a little late and started think about the things I was going to need to do to make up time. As I went through the light at 67Th ave and grand I couldn't help but think to myself how the hell did I get hear, the last thing I remember is 91st ave. I had gone over 4 miles with no recollection of it ever happening. This is not the first time this has happened to me and it is probably not the last. I'm almost sure that I didn't run any red lights, but I can't be positive if there was even a light at the intersections. It's almost like time travel going 4 miles in just a blink of my eyes. I wish it was time travel instead of me just mentally check out for 5 minutes. I don't think I'm alone on this because I have heard other people talking about it. Please tell me I'm not alone on this. I have already come to the conclusion that I'm completely nuts and shouldn't be let out of my cage. I just hope there is a little crazy in all of you too.

The big religious show is full of greed.

My religious views are that I believe in god, but I'm just not convinced on religion. I have always thought that the people on the TBN network where a ridiculous group of individuals. If you haven't heard yet 6 Televangelist some linked to the TBN network, are being investigated. The things in question are there lavish spending with church money and the cash gifts from the church, not considered income. This would be called tax evasion. One guy actually received a 2 million dollar gift from the church on the churches 40Th anniversary and paid no taxes on it. This must of been a big donating day for his cut to be 2 million dollars. This situation makes me realize there are 2 types of believers. The ones that make the money, and the ones that give the money. If the person making the money is not held accountable, greed can very quickly slips in. Smaller churches are not by any means in the TBN category. The smaller churches are the only thing in my eyes still holding the faith of the people and yet some of them are still questionable. If you go to church and it is a big show of ridiculousness that leaves you thinking what a great show, maybe you can pay them for there show but don't expect that money to go to anybody but the main character. I enjoy the church I occasionally visit and I know that they are not in to the ridiculous acts, and fake lives of the televangelist. Hear are some links if you missed the news on the 6 televangelist being investigated. I also think it is quite ironic that the government is investigating somebody for not properly managing the money of American people.

Putting a stick of dynamite in my ear.

I love my wife so much that I let her use me as her ear coning guinea pig. Something seemed very wrong as she lit the wick. I mean just look at me what is normal about that scene. I was thinking as the wick was burning down this must work because it is becoming so popular but what is it really going to do for me.





The answer is cleaning out things I didn't know I had in my head. Gross. I thought maybe it would contain a little bit of wax I never guessed I would have brown sludge coming out of my ears. This is a pick of the ear cone cut open after doing one ear.

I have a new found issue with everybody and everything being very loud. My wife says they are all normal and now I can actually hear like the rest of us. I would suggest trying this out I will let know how things go in the next couple of days.

Turkey, an addictive sedative.

The past couple of days have been very boring in the blog department and I blame it all on the turkey. Thursday we cooked 40 pounds of turkey for 10 people to eat and yes that's 5 pounds per person. We also had about 15 pounds of mashed potatoes along with about 5 other side for 12 people to eat. We had tons of leftovers. Every meal since has been turkey, turkey, turkey. I have been so exhausted since Thursday that I don't even want to get out of bed other than to eat more turkey. It is an addictive sedative. That is why I'm going to blame the grumpiness of the Holiday season from thanksgiving until 5-7 days after we run out of turkey, on the turkey. The 5-7 days is to detox from the addictive element of the turkey. Your normal sleep a day must go from 8-10 hours a day to 12-15 hours a day to not be miserable during the turkey consumption period. So if you went out for black Friday at 4am, plan on continuing to be grumpy for several more days because you were behind on sleep from day one. Now you are aware of the reason a 32 year old woman will kick a man in the junk for a great deal on a laptop the day after thanksgiving.

Two sisters go face to face in the desert. Only one, will be crowned the Booze Queen

This thanksgiving there will be a battle going on in my house between Kristina and her sister Lisa. Lisa will be starting off with Rum and Kristina will be coming in with vodka. and Galliano Liqueur. The best part about this battle, is the two sister will both be in my kitchen baking me a cake. The two sisters were fighting about who makes a better booze cake. Tomorrow the family will make the choice on which booze they like better, in their cake. If you are unable to witness this spectacular display of bottles tipping back, as the beaters roar, and I sit at my table with a glass of milk in my hand ready to judge. You can see the winner tomorrow on my blog. Her bottle of booze in one hand the trophy cake in the other.

The best example of commonsense not being common I have ever heard of.

This would almost be acceptable if he had been drunk, because I could see somebody being so stupid drunk and getting all pissed at the lug nut. I got a more gooder ideer. I'll shot it off just like a beer can on a fence. I'm not going to use my pistol tho I need some distance between me and the lug nut so I'll use the 12 gauge. This will work better than that wd-40 crap,he loads the gun.

Plans to use 12-gauge shotgun to loosen lug nut backfires. And he was sober.
Posted by The Oregonian November 13, 2007 06:58AM
A 66-year-old man shot himself in both his legs Saturday afternoon while trying to loosen a stubborn lug nut with a 12-gauge shotgun.
Kitsap County sheriff's deputies were called to the residence on the 10800 block of SE Olympiad Drive at 2:57 p.m. after the shooting was reported to 911 emergency dispatchers, said Deputy Scott Wilson, a sheriff's office spokesman.
"Nobody else was there and he wasn't intoxicated," Wilson said.
South Kitsap Fire and Rescue medics treated the man at the scene. He was taken to Tacoma General Hospital. Wilson said his injuries were "severe but not life-threatening."
Deputies at the scene reported the man blasted "double-ought" buckshot at the wheel from "arm's length," Wilson said.
The deputies described the man's legs as "peppered" from his feet to his mid-abdomen with pellets, pieces of the wheel and other debris. Some injuries went as far up as his chin.
The man had been repairing the Lincoln Continental for two weeks, and had removed all the lug nuts on the right rear wheel except for one.
"He's bound and determined to get that lug nut off," Wilson said, who did not know how long the man had been trying to free the lug nut.
The deputies did not take a statement from the man beyond what they were able to gather while he was being treated by medics.
"I don't think he was in any condition to say anything," Wilson said. "The pain was so severe, and the shock."

Please tell me this man never reproduced. It could be worse the second I read this I was glad to know that grandpa john was on a cruise this week and not at his house in Oregon. Hmmm Wonder why this story makes me think of him? He doesn't even own a Lincoln continental.

Retail sucks. Enjoy Your cubbies.

I have some friends living the cubical life. I only envy them on weeks like this because they are actually not expected to get much work done this week. I would shoot myself if I had to live a cubical life. But on weeks when they are expected to do less than 2 days of work in 4 days I think would enjoy it. I service retail accounts. That means I try to stuff more work than I do in 5 days into 3 and 1/2. The 1/2 is for Friday because I will work so hard on Mon, Tues, Wed so I can goof off that Friday. Not less hours or work, just less days to do it in. So this is to you, keeper of the swingline, enjoy your week. You deserve it. It's back to the 3 walls, memos, and TPS reports next week. Try not to burn down the building. Christmas is on a Tuesday this year, for another week of slacking off next month.

My post from 11-18-07 I will do anything to protect my children and today I'm boycotting smokers.

I have had many discussions about smoking with my daughter Jenna. Her aunt that she likes way to much is a smoker, so it has come up many times. I have always told her how bad it is, and that her aunt is very bad for doing it. But unfortunately children learn by example not by what you say. Today we were on our way into Fry's when Jenna noticed a girl out front smoking. Jenna said " I can't wait till I'm big and I can smoke like aunt Crystal". When I flipped out and told her the she will not smoke because it very bad for you. Jenna said " don't worry dad I will go outside to smoke". This when I just about lost it and wanted to kill my sister. I sat Jenna down and told that your aunt crystal is very bad for smoking and will one day die because of it. Daddy cares to much for you to let you make the same mistakes as your aunt. I want you to live a long happy life with your family. I then told Jenna we will not see your aunt crystal again until she stops smoking. Jenna said she doesn't want her aunt to die so if it gets her to stop that was fine. I'm amazed that a 4 year old little girl gets what my 24 year old sister doesn't. I love my sister but I will not let her or anybody else be a bad influence on my daughters. The world is hard enough for kids, lets not try to make it harder. This should make for a very interesting smoke free holiday season.
Always remember that your children will learn by your actions not by your words. So be exactly as you want them to be.

I think my horoscope is trying to tell me to be nice today.

Cancer (6/22-7/22)
The real sticking point for you today will be understanding people, though you shouldn't have any problem enjoying them. You are in synch with everyone right now, which is creating harmony and a lot of fun. But a lot of what they are doing is confusing to you. Today, instead of trying to understand what motivates them, just observe and accept. They are finding their own way and learning from their mistakes. Step out of the picture and let things take their own course. Everyone will land on their feet.


I'm not a freak that actually believes in my horoscope. But reading it today, it made some sense. What people are doing is confusing to me. They don't get it ,and I'm done trying to figure out why they are so stupid. I'm going to except that they are stupid and hope that one day they ask my opinion so there life, and the lives of the ones around them get better. I believe I'm there only chance of landing on there feet.

Like I always say if you messed it up the first four times maybe you shouldn't volunteer out of guilt to try it 5 times. I think its best if you cut your losses and do what is best for all involved. Not what you think is best for your self. But then again its hard to convince a selfish person not to be selfish.

So much for being nice. I don't believe in horoscopes any way.

When did common sense become so uncommon?

It seems like everyday I talk to somebody that has no common sense. Simple things that should be very easy to understand or figure out, are mind boggling to them. I felt like a genius explaining to somebody how to use the soap dispense in the bath room. Our conversation went like this. Me -See dude you just pull on the flap and the soap squirts into your hand. Him - That's pretty neat. Me - where are you from. Him - I have lived hear in Scottsdale for about ten years. I just walked out because I had nothing else nice to say. Has he been living under a rock, Or never washed his hands.
A buddy at my work thought he would tease the new guy by asking him if he had changed the air in his tires from summer air to winter air. The guy replied not yet should I get that done. Without missing a beat my buddy said yes, because they will be doing an inspection next week and that is one of the things they will be checking for. My buddy thought the guy would catch on there. But the guy drove over to the air pump let the air out of all 18 tires then started refilling them all with winter air. To make matters worse a manager pulled up as he had filled up about half the tires to ask him what the hell he was doing. He apologized for not doing it earlier, but since it had been so warm out he let slide. Needless to say he longer works at my work. But he took his CDL with him and is probably driving over the road trucks. No need to worry he isn't any scarier that the other ones on the road.
Just small examples of things that go on everyday. I think over time, technology has made us stupid.

INTRO: LISTEN ALL OF YOU THAT HATE YOUR LIVES, STOP F####ING WITH MY CHRISTMAS

Some of today's news struck a nerve with me, and I'm pretty pissed off. I'm tiered of people trying to change everything Christmas was to me as child. This is the introduction to some blogs that will attack people trying to change Christmas. I'm not an atheist or a religious man. The bible says if I die tomorrow I'm going to hell. I see thing differently, but thats me.

Part 1 : TO ALL OF YOU SLUTTY MOMS.

Ho ho ho marry Christmas, is the sound that should soon be ringing out in shopping malls across the country. But some people have complained that it is derogatory to women. I say only the ones that are Ho's. Children that believe in Santa shouldn't know what a ho is. If they do maybe mom should stop being one. The only person that is offended by Santa bring his ho ho ho Christmas cheer is the one in line with her child that isn't happy with herself and what she did last night. I will fight this. Please join me. Make santa say HO ho ho Merry Christmas.

Part 2: THIS IS TO ALL YOU POLITICALLY CORRECT A##HOLES.

I will be boycotting Lowe's because of there fear of say the word Christmas. If you are buying a Christmas tree it is to celebrate Christmas. Not the holidays, not the family in town, it is only for Christmas. The only thing that would make senses is if they carry these trees all year around. But for some reason they only carry the family tree in the months before Christmas. What if I want a family tree for 4Th of July. I can't, because there are only Christmas trees, not 4Th of July trees, and there are no family trees.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/christmas/familytree.asp

Part 3: THIS IS TO ALL YOU STUPID A##ES THAT CAN'T STAND THE WORD GOD, CHRIST, JESUS OR CHRISTMAS.

We live in a country with freedom. We can choose our own religion or not. We have the right to free speech (my blog is a perfect example), and we can celebrate Christmas how ever we want. If you don't like it don't celebrate it, and don't go to things that are about it. But don't try and take away my right to enjoy the holiday. I have heard about all the controversy surrounding Christmas plays, and them not even being about Christmas any more. They are no longer called Christmas plays in schools. They are holiday pageants or seasonal celebrations. I see Christmas as a wonderful time of year, especially for children. I remember as a child how much I loved the holidays. I got to see the family I never see, eat great food, get time off school, and get the excitement of wondering what Santa was going to bring me. It was a magical time in my life with no worries and love for all. To bad adults can't enjoy it like a kid can. If for nothing else leave the holiday alone for the kids.

Everybody stand up, put your right hand over your heart, and read out loud.
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
(say it loud)

No restaurant Happy B-day Songs.

I will consider this a public service announcement. I'm not saying this is true to all but I'm speaking about the majority. Servers HATE the birthday song. I have never worked in the food service industry but I have been talking to some of them and it is a fact that they hate the birthday song. Just to give you a little incite on servers, they hate there job, lives, and you. Don't make there lives anymore miserable. Especially the guy too happy to be there, he is the one to watch. The 2 most disturbing things I was told, is done to the birthday table. The first was the overly excited manager with the big smile that made the big scene would offer to get a round of refills after the song. When he hit the kitchen he started in on a crazed tyrant as he spit into all the drinks, stirred them up, put the annoying smile back on, and took them out. The second was when all the servers where done singing, they would tea bag all the drinks for the table. If not familiar with the tea bag i will give you a hint. All the male servers dip there yam bags into your soda so that you end up with a yam bag salted coke. MMMmmmmm. If this doesn't stop you from get all the wait staff over to embarrass your buddy for his birthday you must love server bodily fluid.
I'm not one to roll the dice. I enjoy my soda just the way it was intended.

Taken too seriously!!!

My web site is nothing more than me rambling about things that I come across in my day. I do not research what I find I don't have the time. I just put it out there for the enjoyment of others. If you don't like it, challenge me and prove me wrong. I welcome this with a very open mind. My web site is nothing more than controversial thoughts in my brain for the enjoyment of others. Entertainment purposes not for informational purposes.

Raising children in america.

Raising children is one of the hardest and most controversial things I have ever done. There are so many do's and dont's. Then there is always somebody that thinks differently from that. Every day I watch the news, and I can't help but think my children could one day be on it. You do your best to raise them but in the end I think it depends half on there personality and half on there upbringing that decides what they will do or be. I know children that didn't have a chance because there parents were a mess, but now have there own business, and are better people than there parents ever will be. I know of children that were abused as a child and have become very successful, were others in the same situation turned to a life of drugs and drinking with no positive future in sight. I have also met children that where given every opportunity in there child hood, and there was nothing there parents wouldn't do for them. But they still chose to do the wrong thing and make bad decisions. It's all really a crap shoot. You hope that your children will always do the right thing, and make the right choices. But it is truly up to them once they grow up.

Wrong but intresting! ISLAM

I have a problem with looking into things that are not right . Examples are all over my blog. This is another one that I don't believe is right but is interesting and very controversial.

Islam is very interesting. They are in to world domination, terrorist attacks, W of MD, automatic weapons, living in caves, and beating there wives. I think Islamic men are compensating for something. As you watch this video on how to properly beat an Islamic wife. You can't help but think. Maybe we should nuc that entire country.

Is this really that big of a problem?

I couldn't help but think as I was sitting in traffic at the I-10 and I-17 stack that if I need a billboard to remind me I haven't pooped in some time and should see a doctor. Maybe there is a much bigger problem going on. I'm in no way politically correct, as my mother in law calls it I have diarrhea of the mouth. No pun intended. But I felt this billboard was a bit much. But I bet it makes for some interesting conversation in the car pool.

America is too dum not to get hurt.

Tomorrow I will be going around putting tape on the top of a box with my product in it because America is dumb and a retailer doesn't want to get sued. We have a 18 pack bottle package that the top flap will flip open, if turned up side down. Yes, I said upside down. They are concerned because a customer in another state dumped 18 bottles on the floor and then cut her foot when she stepped in the glass. Guess what she got a lawyer. Shock shock. Now I have to go to all the retailers and tape the top flap of every 18pk shut or we will have to pull the product out of the stores. Guess we should of put on the box. Don't turn the box of glass bottles upside down and step in the broken glass. May cause injury because broken glass is sharp. The broken product will also make the floor wet and a wet floor can be slippery.

Some other stupid warning labels so companys don't get sued.
"For external use only!" -- On a curling iron
"Do not use in shower." -- On a hair dryer.
"Recycled flush water unsafe for drinking." -- On a toilet at a public sports facility

India baby born with 4 arms, 4 legs

India baby born with 4 arms, 4 legs How did this get kept from us for 3 years. How did we not know about this Indian celebrity 10 sec after it was born. I would love to see the video of the birth and the look on every ones faces. (In an Indian voice) I have 2 legs keep pushing, I have 2 arms keep pushing, I have 2 more legs what the hell, I have 2 more arms holy crap you are giving birth to the Hindu God VISHNU. Don't get me wrong this is very sad, but like a train wreak you just can't not look and think about it. Watch this clip and think how nice it would be to have four arms that you could control. I say they go for that not cut them off. You'll need a version of Windows Media Player 7 or higher to view the video. If you need to download it, go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/default.asptarget=_blank The video player is supported by Microsoft IE 5.0 and above.

The Big grill

I have had a very nice 6 burner gill that needs to have a an BBQ island made for it for a couple of months now. Time and money has prevented me from getting it done. This weekend we had a bunch of family over and everybody brought steaks. 10 steaks wouldn't fit on my little grill so we put the built in unit up on 2 saw horses and fired it up. It was like a very manly dream cooking 10 pieces of meat all at one time in my own backyard. I think I will find the time and and use credit to built my master chief island.

Your first cup of coffee is in the I-Pod

Music won't get you threw the day but it can get it started out right. I have chosen a selection of my favorite songs that really pump me up. You know the ones you can't help but sing and move to. I start this play list in the car and buy the time I get to work 30 minutes away I feel like I have had a cup of coffee. I'm happy, alert, and ready to face the day. Then I make a cup of that great tasting FREE work coffee. OK so it's not great but it's the right price and it gets me threw the day.

Todays hot button IMIGRATION

I'm not sure where I stand on the issue. I wasn't angry when I was picking them up every weekend to do over 80% of my back yard cheaper than I landscaper. Most of the landscapers just hire illegals and add more for there cut. I was just cutting out the middle man. But I'm pretty mad when they commit crime and go to the hospital on my dime. I don't want amnesty but I don't want then to move away and stop buying my bud light in Phoenix. (For those that don't know, I work at a A-B distributor in phoenix.) Arizona is cracking down on illegal immigrant and driving illegals in land to other states. I guess in the end, if they weren't drinking so much dame bud light this wouldn't be a hard decision. But I would rather pay an American citizen to landscape my yard and kick them out of the country. So, my pay check aside send them back.

Is the work place an extention of high school

This is not a rant and rave about the gossip queens of the office because, I have found myself being involved in office gossip. Which I only liked when it wasn't about me. This week I have fell victim to a he said, that she said, that you said, that I. Which was I complete twisted version of the truth that was all based on assumptions instead of facts. Then each person put there own little dramatic twist on it, and by the time it got back to me, it was a mess. The person it was about was upset and I was appalled and embarrassed that a simple conversation had gotten so out of control. When it was all said and done I explained myself and all was good. but I'm still upset that I was put in a position that compromised my credibility . I will from this day stop all gossip that comes my way. If I shouldn't know I don't want to know. If I'm told something I will not repeat it to anybody. I hope that this will make you think, and one day save you the embarrassment of feeling like you are in the halls at high school.
