Copper sinks are pretty, nice, and fun to look at!

I took the time this afternoon to actually stop and wash out the family Cmobile. Garbage out of the inside, even removed the tire that should have been recycled that I felt so guilty about putting in the trash dumpster…cause it’s kind of illegal…and I got a mind for that stuff.

Afterwards, I put the hose to it, bit of soap and rag, and then the glass all around. Even took out the cup holder from the dash and set it to soak in the kitchen sink for a bit.

Now, sitting in a restaurant watching some young thing bend over putting something in the passenger side of the car…and not caring what it is or was.

Looks good from here though.

Hey, don’t feel alone. I’m fat and need help sometimes too!

So far I haven’t hit up any appetite suppresant, but they’re always there. First things first.

1. Diet cola substituted for regular.
2. Smaller meals and more of them rather than larger ones of less numbers.
3. Steal food from girlfriend’s plate that wasn’t calorie counted against mine.
4. Drink Tequila neat, no lime or salt to add to water retention.
5. Eat baked beans and sauerkraut with Tequila, no lime there either.

Seems longer, but it’s really only been a week that American’s really started paying attention to Piggie Colds after handfuls of people started dropping off like flies and others headin’ for hospitals.

I wonder if there’s a hold on applying for insurance online when there’s a pandemic like this abroad.

Just remember to wash your hands.  Brush your teeth helps when you have to visit the doctor.  Don’t have unprotected sex, cause the cooties from girls will kill you quicker than swine flu.

When wearing flavored condoms it is NOT polite to ask if someone wants a sample first.

Ok, so someone sent me a link for a sale promo over on Youtube.com. Howie Mandel gettin’ some woman’s bling on.

Nicely executed, appears ‘raw’, not looking rehearsed. Female counterpart looks like genuine prospect and not an actor. Items identified are within financial budget of most purchasers, while being attractive.

Overall rating for this out of 10, I’d give it a 7.

-1 because Howie didn’t ask me to be in his commercial.
-1 because Howie didn’t ask me for my opinion to begin with.
-1 because Howie hasn’t returned my calls this week.

We all must have our standards.

Hey, it’d be cool to think of oneself oneday becoming the next Steve Case and creating brands that bring value to everyone they touch!

But this is reality and you won’t get there as easily as if you chose one of many investment banker jobs!

The biggest hurdle anyone experiencing homelessness faces in getting a job; next to a home…or shower…or phone; is education. It’s enough of a problem that Florida Community College of Jacksonville developed a program that permits ANYONE that is identified and confirmed homeless a free higher education.

The thing is it’s a little known fact, so little that I myself didn’t learn of it until AFTER I got out of homelessness. If I had been aware of it, I’d have been able to walk in my new home with a degree a few years ago.

If you’re homeless and within a program, contact the guidance counselor at the downtown campus and specifically ask to speak to someone about free education for homeless people.

Oh..yeah..it’s kind of embarrassing…but it beats waiting until later and having to take out a loan for it you’ll end up losing your home over if not paid timely.

…and you wonder how the immigrants are doing it?

Biggest problem facing die hard geeks from the old school is fat. Sedentary hours, crammed lifestyle in a cubicle, and too many games sitting back and throwing koosh balls at neighbors…

…not that it’s not ‘all that’…cause it was.

It’s enough to make me wanna get some weight loss pills.

One major change I started in my own discovery recovery was changing from good ol’ fashioned Dew to Diet Dew. Main thing I noticed was the difference in the amount I drank. Seems the pressence of all that sugar was actually making me want to drink more…and more…like popcorn.

Just sayin.

Everyone dealing with case management for the homeless always has in mind the altruistic logic test of having to send said client to drug rehab or not. It’s a gimme!

And…it sucks.

Not one of these professionals have probably EVER visited http://mentalhealth.samhsa.gov/, the National Mental Health Information Center! People with chronic drug problems ending up homeless aren’t recreational users, they’re usually self medicating and have undiagnosed mental disorders.

Depression…that’s usually ‘found’ first. If a person maintains decent medication management and talk therapy, then it’s a good possibility they’ll get their disorder ‘narrowed down’ and found…and eventually be able to start dealing with it.

But they won’t…if they get pigeon holed as simply addicts!

I’m not saying anything new here. I’m just having the voice to say most case managers don’t have the ‘hmm hmms’ I do and have either the brass to give 1% on each client…

…or the nuts to do what a nut like me can.

Be honest.
