Ok..before I post what I'm going to post, let me get this off my chest...MEL'S AN ASSHOLE!

There..I feel better.


Now, I was sent this in an email from my wife...Why? because I think she believes the dogs rule our lives..really.


PET RULES To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door - snout height.
Dear Dogs and Cats, The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food.
The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack.Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years --canine or feline attendance is not mandatory.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!

To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it "fur"niture.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
Remember: Dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less
2. Don't ask for money all the time
3 Are easier to train
4. Usually come when called
5. Never drive your car
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don't smoke or drink
8. Don't worry about having to buy the latest fashions
9. Don't wear your clothes
10. Don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children


Did I Say I love my wife... :-) and people say I have a warped sense of humor....hahahaha!

Well, how's it going in blogger land?

Enjoying the summer? Good.

Well, what have we to say.....Ah, to start with, my new fish, Gobu, had babies! Imagine my Surprise, I didn't even know the little bastard was pregnant. Let alone female. I came home Friday night, and lo and behold, there were these two little clones swimming around the bottom of the tank...Kinda weirded me out. But I'm getting used to them..Already named em..Chuck and Bob. Hey, their my fish, I'll name em what I freakin please...

Moving on. Ya know those commercials about the AAA, you know, the Automobile Club of America. How that President of the AAA comes out and tells us all to be "Good, Safe Drivers...And to be Mindful of the Road?"

Well, Saturday, I was out driving, and who do I see, but a AAA Claims adjuster tooling down the road. EATING LUNCH! While driving!


How's that for an example? hahahaha!


And now on to the issue of one Mr. Gibson..

Mel Gibson Apologizes for Tirade After Arrest

Published: July 30, 2006
MALIBU, Calif., July 29 — The film star and director Mel Gibson apologized Saturday for belligerent behavior and for saying what he called “despicable” things that he does “not believe to be true” when he was arrested here on a drunken-driving charge early Friday.
But Mr. Gibson, in a statement, stopped short of addressing claims that he made virulently anti-Semitic remarks to an arresting officer, as described on a Web site that posted several pages of the sheriffÂ’s report.
The sheriff’s report, carried on TMZ.com, a Web site owned by Time Warner, said Mr. Gibson had demanded to know if the officer, James Mee, was a Jew. During an obscenity-laced tirade, according to the report, Mr. Gibson also said “the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.”
Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, declined to comment on the report. But he said the department would eventually disclose details of the arrest. “Nothing will be sanitized,” Mr. Whitmore said in a statement.
People associated with the case privately acknowledged the reportÂ’s authenticity, but they agreed to speak only on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation.
The report of Mr. Gibson’s outburst further disturbed some people who were already wary of what they saw as anti-Semitic overtones in his 2004 blockbuster “The Passion of the Christ,” and who believe that he has failed to disassociate himself clearly enough from remarks by his father denying the Holocaust.
“If it’s true what’s reported, frequently hatred, bigotry and prejudice, which is controlled, explodes at moments of stress and crisis,” said Rabbi Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League. “Liquor loosens the tongue of what’s in the mind and in the heart, and in his mind and in his heart is his conspiracy theory about Jews and hatred of Jews.”
Late last year, Mr. Gibson began developing a four-hour miniseries on the Holocaust for ABC, in what was widely seen as an effort to patch up his relations with parts of the Jewish community. A spokesman for the Walt Disney Company, which owns ABC, had no immediate comment on the project’s status. Disney’s studio division is also expected to release Mr. Gibson’s film, “Apocalypto.”
Mr. Gibson, who lives in Malibu, was arrested about 2:30 a.m. Friday on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and released on $5,000 bail.
In a one-paragraph statement issued Saturday through his publicist, Alan Nierob, Mr. Gibson said: “I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested, and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable. I am deeply ashamed of everything I said, and I apologize to anyone I may have offended.”
Mr. Gibson acknowledged an ongoing battle with alcoholism and said he was taking “necessary steps to ensure my return to health.”

Now mind you, It's not so much that he was drunk to start with...or that he's baggin on the Jews, a very close friend of mine is Jewish, and brought this story to my attention, no, the main reason for my distaste hear...The bigotry. And I think the Rabbi said it best with this statement " Liquor loosens the tongue of what's in the mind, and what's in the heart."

Guess he didn't "Absolutely" nail this one....Did ya Mel?

Well DAMN! Friday's come and gone, and I'm still gainfully employed....Them assholes can't do nothing right!

See, its like this. The way my job goes, if you make waves, go against the grain, or question anything that is even remotely WRONG! You are labeled a trouble maker.
Have a question as to why the company is not paying a cancer patients chemo treatments...When said patient is fully covered? You are a trouble maker.

Catch some discrepancy in the way a claim was not paid....You are a trouble maker.

Find out that a certain manager, who just happens to be the Call center's Supervisor's number one BUTT-BOY, has been having his people transfer calls BACK into the Que because its affecting HIS Stats for the week, and you bring this to light only because your personal stats are going down due to the high call volume you have been handling and time spent handling said calls....YOU ARE A TROUBLE MAKER!

YES Children...Wolfie don't take no bullshit from anyone...So for his troubles, he gets the shit-end of the stick..Transfer out of his department, to a spot where he's treated like a red-headed step-child...Watched and treated like a "newbie" even though he's been there in this damn job for a year and a half...
placed with a boss that would much rather see him somewhere else.

So, they want me out...Fine, FIRE ME! Cause I ain't quitting till I find something better...

Well, some of you (Annie you know who you are...) said you couldn't see the fish. Ok, here are some more pics.

First off, Bear wanted to say "HI!" As you can see, he's the staunch protector of the front door...
Bruno handles the back...

Well for those who can't tell or would like to know or even care, The Red Belly Molly is Gobu, The Dalmation is Floyd and the Spot is the Black Molly...Hey, they're my fish I'll name em what I want. Seriously, the names came to me in the pet store.
I'm thinking of picking up a few more and giving the tank some color.


On the Wonky neck front, well, I still can't turn my neck to the right. That's going to make for an interesting drive to work. Seeing that I have to drive 40 miles and lots of lane changes....Good times.

Wife is not too crazy about this. So I might not be going to work tomorrow.
Problem is, if I don't go in, I could get written up. If that happens, I could also get fired.
Well, I'm not too crazy about getting fired, but I've put up with a year and 3 months of bullshit from this company. If ever there was a a place that didn't know its ass from a hole in the ground, this is it. But that's life, right. Its all in a days work...Or not.

Well Peeps, Bugly is lonely no more.
I went to the local Petsmart, and seeing the fine array of aquatic pets they had on display, I chose a few denizens to share his abode.
So now I show you Spot, Gobu and Floyd. (Bet ya don't know which is which?).

compared to Bugly, these guys are midgets... They are a Black Molly, A Red Belly Molly, and a Dalmation.
They seem to like the new digs..Floyd is a bit of a nudge...He picks at Bugly's tail. Gobu chases Floyd, and Spot chills at the top of the tank..He's the mellow of em all. I think they'll do well.

I talked to the girl at Petsmart, about Big Goldie, she said it could have been a parasite. Maybe something that wasn't allowing him to poop. I noticed that he would eat, but wasn't doing what a Goldfish should, that ate that much.

Well, here's to hoping these guys stick around a while...

Bang the drum slowly, brothers and sisters....Big Goldie, The upside down swimming goldfish is no more. Alas, he has gone to that great big aquarium in the big blue pond.

He was a good fish.

On a lighter note...I was showering today, and while drying my hair the oddest thing happened. I sprained my neck!
I was towel drying the back of my head, and as I lifted my head...BAM! I felt this twinge. Stupid me, I turned my head in that direction,right, and OW! The twinge felt like someone jabbed a hot needle into my neck.

Well, no way I'm going to work, can't look over my right shoulder. And I have to drive 40 miles! So the wife takes me to the doctor, he says I have a "cervical sprain".
I call my job, tell em about this. Tell em that the doctor took me off work for two days. What do they tell me?
"Well, you know this is still going to count as an "occurrence" against you..."
Great bunch of people. Even with a Doctors note.

where are my pills...

Doubters! Unbelievers!

I bring to you.....Big Goldie! The upside-down goldfish...

mind you..He's not dead. I thought so too, at first. But then he swam to a different part of the tank..As I will show you. Actually, he's just bloated..The damn thing eats like a pig!

The guy stuck on the glass is Bugly..His real name is Bufugly the 2nd. Formally known as Sir Butt-fukin-ugly The second...Number one having died six months ago.

Big Goldie is the last of a dozen goldfish we had. Out of that 12, there were six hearty survivors: Big Goldie, Little Goldie, Big Blanco, Midget, Little Blanco, and Cannibal..yes, he was one. I found that out the night little blanco died.

When I first saw him like this..I thought he was dead, but he was alive...started to creep me out after a bit.

Well, worked sucked, drive was long...Day was hot...And my fish is swimming upside down...No, he's not dead..Just weird.

don't believe me..pics will follow.

I'm a bit too tired right now..But I will upload a pic...You have to see this to believe it.



Coming soon...The Upside down Goldfish..And bugly.

Seems I've garnered a fan base....LOL!

Well, sorry, I've been a bit busy, what with my neighbors blowing themselves up and all.
See, I don't mind the celebrating of our nations b-day with the explosions and lights and colors and the damn fine good tasting B-B-Q, but I have to draw the line when it comes to inexperience dipsticks and unlawful fireworks.

Bad enough you got these idiots shooting off stuff that could actually burn down your home, but they have their kids, outside, unsupervised...SHOOTING THIS SHIT OFF! I mean come on people...It's a freaking no brainer..I mean, ok, I was a kid, I played with firecrackers, bottle rockets...But I was not friggin dumb enough to hold the damn things in my hand!

I saw what happened to a kid that did...That was enough for me..
I mean, the neighbors kid, last night, was outside, shooting off skyrockets while holding em in his hand...Little bastard threw one at my house!

Of course no one's home..His grandparents don't give a rats ass, and his mom...Lost cause there...

But my 4th is spent tranquilizing my dogs and hoping to the Great Spirit that one of these idiots don't hit my house.

It used to be sooooooo much easier.

BTW..Happy 4th of July...
