Learning Something New Red Friday

Good news – visited the Doctor for a follow up (of course, I was wearing a red shirt!) and learned a few things. 1. – Derangement Meniscus can’t really be diagnosed without an MRI or similar scan. That was an educated guess on the part of the Urgent Care practitioner. 2. – from the position I was in, I couldn’t have damaged the Meniscus since the weight was on the patella, and not on the meniscus. (2.5 – meniscus is kinda funny to spell) 3. – chances are I’ve merely popped the patella ligament out of and back into place – a painful process, and fraught with all kinds of pain, but again I heard that icing it was the right thing to do.

I want everyone to know that TMBWitW is the one who convinced me to ice it in the first place. I was just gonna pop some Tylenol for the pain and keep on keepin’ on. Marines are like that. TMBWitW says Marines are stubborn and less than helpful when they themselves are the ones who are hurt. I’ll let you know if I find any evidence to refute that statement.

So – prognosis is good. If I don’t show improvement in the next two to three weeks, while continuing with the elevation/ice/no weight pressure and adding in the occasional flexing routine, then Doc will be bringing in a specialist and tossing me to the MRI wolves. If surgery is called for, we would know then. At this point in time I refuse to believe that I am going under the knife. I know that I will heal or be healed and things will be back to normal before the Christmas and Hanukkah seasons are upon us at the toy store.

Thanks to all who have been praying for me. I am positive that it helped.

Really? With An Appointment?

Got a coupon in the paper – actually, TMBWitW found it – for a $14.95 oil change through AAA Auto. Cool, I thought – it requires you to make an appointment, but other than that, what could go wrong? Up to 5 quarts of 5W30, standard oil filter, some level of safety inspection … make the call, luck into a 1300 slot that was vacated just moments prior to my call, and we’re all done but the waiting to go.

I got up there a little ahead of time – about 10 minutes, plenty of time to get checked in and wait for the oil change. Now, I don’t know about the rest of you, but I can change the oil in my car in about 20 minutes if I take my time. That includes checking other fluid levels (tranny, radiator, differential) and making sure all the parts are still bolted in the proper spots.

The young man at the check in counter told me it would be from sixty to ninety minutes for the oil change. “Really? It takes ya’ll an hour to an hour and a half to change the oil and check a few things?” He started in on how comprehensive the safety check was, when I asked him if there would be a test drive by the mechanic. Nope, not included. I asked how they could make any money if they burned a repair bay for $15 for an hour and a half. He looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. I rephrased – “How can you make any money if you only charge ten dollars an hour for an oil change and safety check? Do your techs only get paid minimum wage or less?”

I politely declined the opportunity to sit in the waiting room and be bombarded by AAA commercials and sales pitches. I’ll be hitting a locally owned franchise oil change shop a little later today instead.

Here you go, Obama(THHO) – your daily reminder that you are not long for the White House. (as always, click on the image to embigify – credit to the ARRA News Service for the cartoon)

Other than that, I got nothing. I’m spending the day with my daughter, and we are going to stimulate the local economy a bit. Ya’ll have a good weekend, ya hear?

Red Facebook Friday

So it would appear that Obama(THHO) stimulused Facebook. He had to have, there is no other explanation for how badly it’s been reworked unless he was involved somehow – he must have spoken at a staff meeting at Facebook, or something, and the Obama(THHO) Effect worked it’s magic on Facebook software.

In case you didn’t notice, I’m not a big fan of Facebook’s change. I’m also not a big fan of the Obama(THHO) Effect.

I am becoming a bigger fan of Google+, if only for the fact that BINF. (because it’s not facebook)

Need an invite? I have a few left, let me know and I’ll send one your way.

Oh, and wear red today. Support our troops – they need to know that We, The People, support them and believe in them and their mission.

Go Flag Yourself – part deux

I’ve got red on – and my face is red, and I am seeing red. Does that make anyone who doesn’t like me an anti-red racist?

Obama(THHO) has decided that history has no lessons for him. Instead of learning that We The People don’t believe that telling on one another is the Patriotic thing to do, now we have an overly obvious attempt at propaganda. I am talking about the newly formed Attack Watch site that allows you – nay, encourages you to point out when people are saying bad things about Obama(THHO). In other words, we are, once again, being encouraged to rat one another out, just like all the good people of Chicago-style politics do.

(i am, unfortunately, going to have to report myself for saying that Obama(THHO) has ordered people to rat each other out. even though it is a true statement, it smacks more of communism, when we all know that Obama(THHO) is really a socialist.)

So – I invite you all to report yourselves (not each other – unless you want to report the WaPo, NYTimes and the HuffPo for carrying Obama(THHO)’s water for him) for posting the TRUE statements about Obama(THHO).

True statements, such as:

Obama(THHO) has never had to work for any of the money he ever spent.

Obama(THHO) is a socialist who would rather see the United States die a horrible death than continue to thrive in excellence.

Obama(THHO) is married to a woman who, after saying she was finally proud to be an American, proved she wasn’t when she said “They do all that for a flag?” at the 9/11 ceremony.

Obama(THHO) has golfed more in two and a half years than GWB did in eight.

Looks like I’ll be reporting myself again for a while – and for my dear reader(s), I’m going to delve back into politics again for a while, just so I can report myself and help to crash attackwatch.com.

Updated – before I even published this: Read the Submission Terms and decided that I did not want Obama for America attached to my name in any way shape or form. I’ll just irritate them on Twitter for now.

To clarify – I could make a statement like this: “Obama(THHO) is the worst President the United States ever dreamed of having.” Their Submission Terms indicate they can “edit” anything submitted for their own use in perpetuity. My statement above could be “edited” to say: Cary Cartter, of Glendale, Arizona, says that “Obama is the President the United States dreamed of having.” Yeah, no thanks.
