Before I get to how to buy pepper spray, I gotta tell you I’m feeling like there’s something bubbling beneath the surface this morning that needs to get out. It’s kind of like a volcanic heat, or a white phosphorous grenade, for those of you familiar with ordnance.
Yesterday on the telly the story was AIG. Outrage! More outrage!
Yeh, Ed Liddy, the CEO, has a tin ear, but that ain’t the real story. And no, AIG executives, who ran the company into the ground don’t deserve a nickel.
The Big Kahuna’s trip to grandma’s house yesterday was partly a good one, and partly a bad one. It was when he was happily driving along the long road when his internal organs backfired. He pulled over, made a few howls, and eventually made it to the nearest hospital. Good thing for him, he got a dose of morphine he needed.
And so, for more than a day, he has been in a place where he wouldn’t want to stay, and what could be rather worse is that nobody can tell him what could have gone wrong while he was merrily travelling. It could have been a blood clot, or perhaps, a kidney infection.
They rousted me out of a deep sleep early this morning and told me they were coming to take me away…so I got up and brushed me teeth and slapped some deoderant on the pits. They wouldn’t let me eat any breakfast because the machines like to read a clean slate. So I got in a chair and started watching a movie.
8:30 came and went. 9:30…10:30…and at 10:45 the nurse told me that they couldn’t find the order and there were six people scheduled ahead of me, so my scan wouldn’t happen until sometime this afternoon.
I have spent almost 17 hours waiting for an MRI. The nurses woke me up because they thought that I should be ready for it. Like I said, it took almost 17 hours before I finally got the chance to be diagnosed. I took labored strides through the eerie hospital hallways at about 1 AM. One thing I noticed was that the floor was waxed with a high gloss shine.
They woke me up early this morning, and they told me that I should start on getting myself ready. So, I did the usual daily routine. I brushed my teeth, used some deodorant, and I was ready. These people wouldn’t want me to eat breakfast, because I had to undergo a series of diagnoses again. So, the only thing I got left to do was to watch a movie. I eventually did.
Two hours had already passed, and still I hadn’t gone to my diagnostic tests yet. The nurses told me that there were at least six people who got ahead of my schedule.
Ask anybody about the home security measures they take whenever they are away from home for more than a day. Chances are, all the responses will not be the same and answers unique. Now, you know the trick…and the burglars and thieves know all the tricks also. I’ll explain this in a second. Home security measures do have a few variations, but remember, the worst thing you can do to protect your home, is to do nothing at all.
