Yeah, well, I try to see it from the bright side. I've got a free day, even have time to be bored, while I'm getting a great new floor. Must say that I hated to take a floor out that should have lasted another 10 years or so. But what can you do... The freakin' insurance company was an annoyance, too. But I'll try to push that out of my mind
 
Happy my 90 yr dad survived angioplasty procedure this morning, Doc's told me could of keeled over any day. Been telling him for a couple years now to get a Cath done since all his other tests look good, stubborn Polack finally agreed.
 
I got to eat a Burger King today. Had to travel 70kms to find a place to buy some tool bits for my Dremel and there was a Burger King nearby.
I had a bacon double whatever with extra cheese.
We usually live this healthy lifestyle with no convenience or processed food, grow our own vegetables etc - that's kind of the way it is here if you like it or not, but I really do enjoy some junk food now and again.
I'll probably eat another Burger King or MacDonalds in about 6 months
 

Sid after Hurricane Katrina I stayed along the MS Gulf Coast for about two weeks with no power and living off some food and water for about 4 days then started eating MRE's which to me were really not that bad.The MRE's are real easy to prepare and about 3000calories which I ate once a day and everything just took so much energy to complete the task.Well I had to go and grab the family in San Destin FL after two weeks stopped at a Waffle House ordered steak,eggs,toast, hash browns,coffee, milk the works and I swear I probably consumed the food in like 5-8 minutes for the waitress's and cooks were watching me and I then noticed.The waitress asked "are you hungry"(something like that) and I told her I haven't eaten a real meal in two weeks just MRE's.The waitress's inquired if I come from the Katrina affected area and informed them yes the MS gulf coast.I went to go pay the bill and they(the waitress's) took care of the tab for me and would not take the cash.Then on the way back to Biloxi the family and I stopped off at McDonalds and like you said best damn hamburger I think I ever ate
 
When I went to Europe a couple years back, I was surprised to find Starbucks, Kentucky Fried Chicken, MacDonald's and a few others all over the place. While I was in Burgas, my Sweetheart asked me if I wanted some American food and I stopped and had to think about it...American food? First thing that came to mind was Pizza...then Tacos and I realized she was referring to the fast food places. I said hell no, we'll have real American food, so we went to the local grocery store, bought all the fixin's and had BBQ'd cheese burgers, baked beans, corn on the cob and beer...

Now that's authentic American food, right there!
 
Went to the Wiggle Waggle Walk at Fresno State University this morning as part of the Valley Animal Center. We didn't get any dogs adopted there but still had fun with Ping. He's a two year old Chihuahua/Terrier mix with loads of personality. Also walked Kaymen, a six and 1/2 month old Pit bull puppy.
 
my wife had surgery on bone growths on her shoulder joint, all went well until she stopped breathing on the operating table !

the surgeon then had trouble intubating her and the had to call another guy in to do it, turns out she needs a specialist tool or tube to fit her and now has to carry a piece of paper whenever she visits the doctor or is likely to be admitted to hospital !

anyway they got done what was needed and she is perfectly fine just a bit scary as you will imagine, but she is home no worse for wear and barking out orders !
 
Scary Karl and let your wife know she's not alone. During a C-Section, my wife died on the table delivering my youngest daughter, who stopped breathing as well. My wife also needs a special tube when she has surgery. She has put off foot surgery because of this.
