On the bus

So this chick is behind me whining "why are we stopped? why is he sitting here? what is he doing, why aren't we moving....Jesus Christ"

I hazzard a look behind me...

In my head I say:
Well, if you would take a moment to leave that world in which everything revolves around you, you might notice that the bus driver is talking to someone on the curb, and you may have also noticed that same someone has boarded the bus and is actually a BLIND WOMAN then you may also notice that he's helping her find a seat because the asshole up there, who also spends too much time in a world in which everything revolves around him, won't take a moment to help the lady find the seat that is next to him... See, honey, the bus driver is kind enough NOT to take off before the lady can sit down because that is the right thing to do in the world in which NORMAL PEOPLE live in...Believe it or not he's not doing this just to piss you off.

To her I say:
nothing...because in second grade I was taught, "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."

Cha-Ching

OH WHY do I allow this to happen to me!?! I know there's a problem, but ya know... I wait and wait and wait...then when I go to the dentist what do I get... VERY EXPENSIVE NEWS.

Yup...one definite root canal, and one possible (highly probable) root canal. not to mention the discussion of replacement tooth in the spot where I was stupid at the age of 18 and allowed a dentist to just pull the tooth and not tell me the consequences. That I KNOW will be expensive, but to not do it...will lead to many more instances of V.E.N.

So yeah, tomorrow I get to go get the teeth cleaned, week after next I go for the two root canals which will be $1,950. They say I can pay half and they'll discuss with the insurance... but yeah, they need me to pay it all up front. OUCH!! So...Pattie will be very poor for the next several months as the dentist fixes my teeth.

Will it NEVER END?

Now the Swiss Glaciers are melting!

Melting Swiss Glaciers Threaten Alps
Switzerland's glaciers are melting faster than expected, shrinking by as much as one-fifth of their size over the 1985-2000 period alone, scientists at Zurich University said on Monday.

Go Figure
From Forbes.com
Teens With Same-Sex Parents Well-Adjusted
Adolescents who have two moms as parents are no different from teens growing up with a mother and a father, a new study finds.

Who would have thought that kids with two parents who love them and nurture them would grow up being well adjusted? I'm experiencing shock and awe at the mere thought of it.
