The Suckiest Day That Ever Sucked or Darned Close to the Suckiest Day

Add comment May 16th, 2008

I had the world’s worst day at work. I haven’t felt this bad in a very, very long time. Perhaps it is simply the compounded issues of my emotional and physical state since the accident along with the long held in stress from everything at work. I just want to scream but all I do is cry.

I honestly did not know I could cry this much in one day.

Big Bottoms Good for More Than Just a Spinal Tap Song

Add comment May 15th, 2008

Mom always told me that people that had diabetes like her were shaped like her with thin legs and rounder in the middle. Turns out she might actually be right.

Scientists are now saying that the fat found around the hips and thighs may actually protect you against getting the disease. So it turns out a big bottom just might be good for you. Hey, my fat ass just might save my life.

According to the Rueter’s article, “Researchers have known for some time that fat that collects in the abdomen — known as visceral fat — can raise a person’s risk of diabetes and heart disease, while people with pear-shaped bodies, with fat deposits in the buttocks and hips, are less prone to these disorders.” So I guess she was right.

They have found that transplanting subcutaneous fat from those areas to the stomach can help improve a person’s sensitivity to insulin.

Find more information on how your big butt is good for you by reading the following:



Big Bottoms by Spinal Tap

The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin
That’s what I said.
The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand
Or so I have read.
My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo.
I love to sink her with my pink torpedo.

Big bottom
Big bottom
Talk about bum cakes,
My gal’s got ‘em.
Big bottom,
Drive me out of my mind.
How can I leave this behind?

I saw her on monday, twas my lucky bun day
You know what I mean.
I love her each weekday, each velvety cheekday
You know what I mean.
My love gun’s loaded and she’s in my sights
Big game’s waiting there inside her tights

Big bottom
Big bottom
Talk about mud flaps
My gal’s got ‘em.
Big bottom
Drive me out of my mind.
How can I leave this behind?

The Terrible Cost of Just Going to Work

Add comment May 13th, 2008

While I am bitching about gas prices I might as well keep going. I am really starting to wonder how I am even going to be able to keep my job with the rising prices of gas.

I travel sixty plus miles each way to work. Money-wise that works out to $20 bucks a day (for now). This is a 100% increase over what I was paying per day including my turnpike tolls last year. Just thinking about this puts me into a downward spiral toward a deep depression. So what do I do?

Are you looking for the convenience and privacy of an online pharmacy for your prescription medications? You are not alone. Many people are turning to the internet to fill prescriptions for many conditions like erectile dysfunction (ED), genital herpes, birth control, and acne medications as these can be embarrassing conditions, which need treatment and for some they just cannot face the pharmacists. Another reason to use an online pharmacy for your prescription drugs is for the convenience. Who likes driving all the way to the pharmacy only to have to wait around for the prescription to be filled? Not me.

At eDrugstore.MD your online prescriptions filled privately and securely. In most cases you’ll even get your prescriptions cheaper than from your local drugstore. If, like me, you are all about the savings then you like this; new customers can play one of their online games for a chance to get $20 off their medications and if that wasn’t enough you can save even more with their refill discount. Every time you refill a prescription with them you’ll $20 off the retail price.

So if you are looking for a safe secure place to buy your medications you may want to further research eDrugstore.MD. I think you’ll find a safe, secure place to buy your drugs at a reduced price over a standard pharmacy.

Easy to Find Affordable Health Insurance

Add comment May 9th, 2008

No one should be without health insurance but if your job does not offer health insurance or you are only working part time what are you supposed to do? The cost of healthcare is too high to be without insurance, but the high cost of individual plans keeps people from being insured.

Thank goodness there are places like USA-HealthInsurance.com who can offer affordable health insurance Arizona plans include Aetna, Kaiser Permanente, Coventry, and Blue Cross Blue Shield among others.

Whether you are a small business owner looking for an affordable service to offer your employees or an individual who is self employed you may be able to find just what you need at a price you can afford so you, your family or your employees don’t have to worry about coverage any more.

Flight of Your Life for Your Life

Add comment May 8th, 2008

The other night coming home from work I heard a report about a motorcycle accident on the turnpike that had caused traffic in both lanes to be closed due to a helicopter landing to airlift the person to the hospital. You know it is a bad accident when you hear the word “airlift”.

Thank goodness for companies like AeroCare. They are a 24 hour air ambulance service that offers the life saving Medivac services of transporting patients from just about any where in the world. While the services that AeroCare offers differ from those of the accident victim’s swift flight to the hospital they do offer an invaluable service to transplant patients around the globe. Which is a cause near and dear to my heart.

If you ever find yourself in need of medical transport you’ll be glad you heard about AeroCare and their professional medical flight team.

My Bologna has a Middle Name It’s M-O-L-D-Y

Add comment April 23rd, 2008

Moldy Bologna, YuckMy bologna has a first name, it’s O-S-C-A-R. My bologna has a second name, it’s M-A-Y-E-R.  Oh, I love to eat it everyday, and if you ask me why, I’ll say, ‘Cause Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A.

Every once in I get a hankerin’ for a good old fashioned bologna sandwich. The other day was just such a day. So while at the store I grabbed a package of Oscar Mayer’s boloney of the rack. Got home all ready to make me a sammy when I spied a colony of freeloaders on the side of my tasty treat! Some how they worked their way into a sealed package. Needless to say I did not eat a bologna sandwich that night, nor will I for awhile.

Thank goodness the store [Redner’s Markets] took it back. They really shouldn’t have given me any problems any way since the expiration date was still a ways off and my receipt was only dated the day before.

I also called Kraft and they sent out a coupon for a replacement package of bologna. Good customer service from both places and thank goodness I did not each any of the meat.

Just Like Dogs Onions Are Bad For Cats Too

Add comment April 5th, 2008

While I wasn’t able to find a definitive answer to my question from a vet or pet site. That question being: Are onions bad for cats? I was able to find a very knowledgeable and friendly online group [Cats and Kittens Yahoo Group] that confirmed for me that my suspicions were correct.

Onions are indeed just as bad for cats as they are for dogs. Onions do the same thing to felines as it does to canines.

An onion will basically cause the animal to become anemic by attacking the cat’s hemoglobin just like in dogs. They even go on to explain about a Heinz Body, the dangers of onion powder and that garlic has the same dangerous compound only in lower doses than onions. These people know their kitties that’s for sure. They were also a huge help to me when I first got Boris as a baby that needed hand fed.

Boy the list of bad foods and things to keep away from my precious pets just keeps getting longer and longer!

It Has to Be Me

Add comment April 1st, 2008

I know it has got to be me. I know I am a bit of a bitch most of the time, but come on. I called my doctor’s office again for an easy task. One they have performed on many occasions. I just needed a new referal for my allergy doctors so my insurance would continue to pay for it.

Well the woman that picked up the phone was extremely rude [like the other day when I called for an appointment]. I swear there is only one nice person in that entire office. From now on when I call in I am automatically just going to ask for her. I don’t know what I will do if she ever leaves or retires. Guess I will look for a new doctors office.

Instead of the normal easy phone call I am given the third degree. Okay it was not the third degree but I was asked for all this information [provider id, fax number, my insurance number] that I am not normally asked for. In fact it is all stuff they should have in my file after two years of them doing this for me. When I finally had enough and asked for the nice nurse by name there was a long pause and Nasty McGee came back on the phone and said she had everything she needed in my file [duh] and would fax it to them for me. Couldn’t she just have done that in the first place?

But as I have said earlier it must be me. Even over the phone they see how easy it is to piss me off and try their hardest. I thought I had read some where that more and more hospitals and doctors offices were taking the whole customer service values to heart. Guess it hasn’t reached this little rinky dink office yet. When it does I know a few nurses who need some seminars.

Medical Care and Compassion Should Go Hand in Hand

Add comment March 27th, 2008

Why aren’t people in the medical field more compassionate? When people are sick they need to feel some compassion from the people they are entrusting to make them well again. My mom had some bad experiences when she had her recent stay in the hospital and so did I after my auto accident.

Just today I called my family doctor to set up an appointment to have my legs checked. I am having an awful lot of swelling in them at night when I get home from work. Besides that I also wanted to see the other doctor in the practice since I don’t exact feel like I have gotten the best of care from my primary physician on this case.

Well the person who answered the phone was very short with me and would not let me get a word in edgewise. I understand they might be busy but please take the time to fully listen to the person before jumping down there throat or to conclusions about them or their problems. I wasn’t even going to be allowed to see the other doctor once I finally got the chance to request them.

Doctors need to listen to their patients and they need to hire nurses that will do the same. It is all about the customer service and both hospitals and doctors need to learn that.

At this point I am locked into this office as my primary physician with my insurance so I guess my first steps are to find out how to go about changing that then go and find a new doctor, one who might actually care about their patients if there are any out there.
