Small niggling annoyances.

[NJK]

Having the Flu really sucks.

I already used two boxes of tissues just to keep my nose dry within 2 hours.

Damn, I feel for you, although last time I had it, I couldn't stay awake long enough to make it 2 hours at a time, I just sorta faded in and out of sleep every other hour.

Feel better!

I'm out of work today because the doc won't let me go while I'm on pain meds - I just got my 4 impacted wisdom teeth pulled yesterday, and yet for some reason, I would rather be at work than here at home. I'm honestly feeling pretty good for only one day after, but maybe it's because of the drugs...

I've had the flu too. I thought it was over, but it looks like it took a day off and came back meaner.

Something about dental work.... I dunno about Vicodin, unless you can't sleep. I think drugged sleep sucks, so I usually just take a 4 ibuprofen (the prescription dose) instead of two. A nurse told me that was pretty safe. I think if you are actually looking for a pain killer, ibuprofen works better than Vicodin. At night, I take a couple of Advil PM (ibuprofen and dyphenhydramine). It's better sleep than Vicodin. When I've had teeth pulled, I usually felt better almost immediately. I think the bad teeth are more painful than the extraction site.

I think I'm better now - spent most of this morning and afternoon sanding furniture for refinishing - keeps my mind off the ache of the missing teeth. Today's small niggling annoyance is the numbness my right arm feels from the electric sander. It vibrated the hell out of it and now it's hard to type.

All this crap about Paris Hilton reminded me of something...

I get annoyed everytime I see a picture of Paris when she has her eyes all squinty...I mean, the woman's white, not asian; Widen those damn eyelids, unless she can't from her one-night facades in hotel rooms...

Same with Renee Zelwigger or however the fuck you spell it.

Isn't it true though that the definition of a word can be (eventually) changed to a different meaning merely based on how it is used by the majority? Like the word fag or Bitch. Centuries ago both of those words held different meanings but now the have changed. The word Motor is now excepted by the general masses as the equivalent to engine. I'm sorry fellas, but the general masses have more pull on words than scholars. I would have to say the induction of ain't, combover, Bling, & Sippycup (I'm not sure if it's one or two words) into the dictionary is prof enough.

Motor is only slang when used in the form of "I was motoring down the highway".

90% of the people I know say "gonna" in place of "going to." Do you think that'll make it into the dictionary? I don't care what the masses think. "Motor" and "engine" can't be interchangable because this isn't an engine. Likewise, this isn't a motor. Do you put gasoline in your washing machine to wash a load of laundry?


Btw. Webster's Dictionary sucks.

Perhaps it's just my cynical point of view, but it seems like anytime my hometown gets any national attention, it's for something of deep shame:

Famous People from Canton (Wikipedia - June 25, 2007)

First person listed: Marilyn Manson.
Last person listed: Bobby Cutts, Jr.

Even those in the UK can read about our shame.

Otherwise, all we're probably known for is the Pro Football HOF.

[skryingbreath]

Marylin Manson is shame?

[Razzinno]

You may have a point. At least he didn't totally botch the national anthem.
