Waking up to pee 2 hours before the alarm goes off (of course I never sleep to the alarm) is always a bonus.

Yeah, the getting up two hours before the alarm to pee (but not getting back to sleep) happens to me several times a
week......but then again I could nod off while sitting at my computer. I actually bashed my head down onto the keyboard
one night as I dozed off suddenly....a few keys popped off.

Do you use that for sleep apnea?

[Ex-Ithacan]

^ Yeah, I've used it for several years now. It was hard to get use to, but now I'm afraid to try to sleep without it.



Totally unrelated, but I just found a short video from inside a car going up the block I lived on as a kid. Our apartment building is at about 0:06 on the left (yellow & reddish). I can't believe I would skateboard down that hill on a small red skateboard with metal wheels. Surprised I didn't get killed.

^^Looks like many areas of the Quad Cities, steep grades and all.

How does one "accidentily" walk in gay pride parade and attend a pride fest?

I've got some very, very, very slow relatives (anti-gay Christians!).

[vid]

We're having our first pride fest on Saturday. I bet there will be a lot of people who "accidentally" attend since it hasn't been advertised much. Next Monday's letters to the editor page will probably be full of their crazy ranting.

You're lucky it was the keys that popped off the keyboard, and not your teeth popping out of your gums. lol

Dude... and I thought the worst part of being past 30 was getting phone calls from my parents' friends regarding 'investment opportunities'.

I fear I'm just a year or two away from the day I'm found wandering, miles from my home, incoherent and wearing only my underpants and a pair of swim-fins.

Don't worry rock, it's great to be able to get away with that kind of stuff. Just remember to drool a bit and pretend you're shooing away flies.

[rockyi]

^Actually I've already done that. It's a good way to get people to give me money.

People here would think you're drunk (maybe not, since you're pasty white and non-Native looking, you'd just be one of our many "colorful" crackers...) but there's a couple towns/counties currently trying to pass a bill through the state legislature that would give cops the right to arrest you simply for being out in public and intoxicated. Because that will solve our serial inebriate problem and not waste dwindling county and jail resources...

[vid]

If you did that here, my grandparents would point at you and explain how they knew you "before he was like this".

This add was recently put up here in my neighborhood. I find it really funny. They want to attract the "buy local" livers, but they're going to have a hard time convincing me that that dusty sh%t they put in their McMuffins are actual eggs, let alone that they are sourced in Michigan.

[vid]

In Canada, they are made by cracking an actual egg into a circle shaped thing to make an egg patty thing. And the eggs are local, as is the milk, since we produce both here in large quantities. Like with the chicken mcnuggets commercials when they started using real chicken, the commercials say "now made with real eggs".

Coffee places like Robins Donuts and Tim Hortons, on the other hand, have a large plastic "egg chub", from which they cut disks of pre-cooked egg, which are then microwaved with the other ingredients.

Either way, I'm not eating egg.

[HomeInMyShoes]

Egg chub? Egg chub?!?

[rockyi]

Those two words should never be used together.....in fact NO word at all should be followed by "chub"

[hudkina]

What about chub chub?

[rockyi]

well....OK....chub chub is acceptable.

Had a burger with portabello mushroom on it last night.....violently ill for about 15 minutes, then I was fine. I love lying on the bathroom floor, not degrading at all. Nope, not at all.........God hates me.

[rockyi]

Going down for the annual Cajun party in DT Rock Island tonight.....probably eat some tainted crawfish and die....can't wait.
