This and that…

First off, THANK YOU so very much for all of those kind comments of support and cheer. (I’ve missed you all. And you guys made me miss you that much more!) As for migraine stuff — I’ve gone through several specialists over the years, cat scans, MRI’s, and have tried a multitude of preventative drugs — from meds that control epilepsy and anti-anxiety to beta blockers. You name it and I’ve probably been on it.

I come from a long line of migraine sufferers on my dad’s side. One such ancestor (grandpa) met an insomniac (grandma) and decided to have 10 children with her. The result? Alot of my aunts, uncles and cousins have either one problem or another. And a few of us lucky ducks got BOTH! But my dad has sworn that his migraines decreased once he hit 40. I cannot WAIT to turn 40! I also can’t wait for menopause as I’ve heard that will help with the insomnia. (I’ll be the only chick you know that’s happy about “night sweats” and “hot flashes.”)

In the meantime, I’m thinking I need to change my strategies and fix the sleeping issue first. And thanks for all of the great suggestions. I’ve made some notes and started researching avenues based on your feedback.

I promised in the last post that I’d quit wit da whinin’. And I’m going to deliver…

Check out the dude in this ad. Um yeah, he makes me want to buy that costume! Oh baby. You’re a heavenly buffet of manliness. (Um. No. Not really.)

I just have one question: does the roll of quarters he’s shoved down his pants come with the costume? Or is an aspiring CHiPs officer on his own when attempting to flaunt a “Hi. I’m sorta happy to see you” semi-perky penis? And if the coinage is included, does it come with some really strong tape to keep it in its place? (Preferably, tape that doesn’t rip out a bunch of the leg hair/skin?)

I think tape would be needed. What if the coins got loose and tumbled down to the floor? The poor dude would lose $10, his bulge, AND his self respect all in one sweep. Or what if the bulge came lose and the guy met someone he really WAS happy to see? There would be two bulge!

Some horney, drunk girl would be mighty disappointed once those pants would come off… Especially if she saw quarters taped to the guy’s thigh. But on the upside — at least she’d have enough change for any parking meters/candy machines…

    Haha! This is from that goofy show on Comedy Central! Reno 911! That one guy wears that dang pair of shorts all the time, no matter how cheesy, I always crack up! My baby sister calls these shorts the bobby ewings! Freaking hilarious!
    I see you cant sleep either!

    Glad you’re on top of things - especially entertaining all the rest of us who can’t sleep either! And yes, I will be looking forward to aging and menopause too - no more painful periods that last 2 weeks or monthly migraines!!!! Yeah!!!

    My, that halloween costume is nice!

    Reno 911 rocks! So stupid you can’t help but laugh!

    Yeah, the Reno 911 guy. I keep trying to get DH to wear that costume for halloween, but he’s not having any part of it.

    Glad you’re feeling better today.

    Hee hee….

    Puts new meaning to the term “mad money”.

    I was going to say he reminded me of Super Troopers, but alissa is right… it’s really Reno 911! I love it. But I always wondered about that roll of quarters thing… a roll of quarters is heavy! It doesn’t seem it would stay in place without A LOT of tape.

    Oh, and don’t apologize for “whining” — I dont’ even think you whine. YOu should hear me after a sleepless night, and I only have one or two a month (I feel lucky, after hearing what you and others deal with). Whining would be an improvement over the lashing out and crying that I exhibit when I don’t sleep.

    It looks like a whole can of tennis balls when down his pants!

    Reno 911? I’ve never heard of it. We don’t have cable. (I know! Who doesn’t have cable? Well, we don’t. If we did, nothing would ever get done around our house… So we don’t have it.)

    But I’m gonna have to go on Netflix to see if I can find some episodes or something…

    That’s hilarious! Two bulges. Ha!

    On a side note re: the migraines. Have you tried a chiropractor? It’s not a permanent solution and often chiropractors tell you your spine is so messed up you have to come back often at $30 a pop, but if you can resist that and only go when you have a migraine, sometimes having your neck popped can relieve the pressure on blood vessels in the brain (which a lot of those drugs are supposed to do chemically and that’s how they’re effective) and provide some relief. And DAMN! That was a really long sentence. Sorry.

    My husband was Ponch from CHIPS in college for Halloween and he used socks…maybe? However, looks to little to be socks, you may be right about the coins. :)

    oops, not “anonymous”! It’s me… Bridgermama! Sorrreeeee!

    Oh man, sorry to hear you’re having problems with migraines. I’ve never experienced one, but I know people who have and wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Hope you feel better.

    And…so glad you’re back. You always crack me up….I mean “heavenly buffet of manliness”? LMAO.

  15. quinn on October 14th, 2006 1:06 pm

    Wow, that costume is just too, too much. Glad you’re back, and I hope you’re able to solve the sleep issue and feel better soon!

  16. Pattie on October 14th, 2006 7:50 pm

    Damn woman!
    You must be desperate….you WANT to turn 40 and hit menopause??? *LOL*

    Better to have a roll of quarters than a rolled up sweat sock I guess….money for the meters…you crack me up! :)

  17. Lisa Goldstein/Kelly Kelly on October 15th, 2006 3:25 am

    Oh my gosh, that costume is just too much. he he.

    Hope you continue to feel better.

    Railroad guys don’t need a roll of quarters…

  19. Tori on October 15th, 2006 7:15 am

    How dare you mock the costume I have purchased for Big Wave!!!!

    Actually just thinking of him in it - along with the quarters has made me chuckle. Both he and I loathe Halloween and the thought of dressing up sends me into a cold sweat or a night sweat for you!

    Now as for you…. hang in there, count sheep and penises and quarters and you may even fall asleep one of these days…

    And naughty Gramps and Grammy for spreading their monstously anti-social chromesomes around the masses….

  20. Pendullum on October 16th, 2006 3:03 pm

    I am still laughinggggg…..
    Coins????
    Hey Buddy can you spare a dime????
    ohhhhhh…..
    soooooo
    Baaaadddd

  21. MrsFortune on October 16th, 2006 8:09 pm

    Aahhahahahah!!! Dude is hilarious. Is that from Reno 911 (one of the best shows ever!) ?

    I hope your migraines get the hell out of dodge!
