Is there anything worse than the stomach flu?  I got home last night and felt it coming on, and it steadily got worse and developed into a full fledged spewfest..awful.  I was all cramped up, running to the bathroom every 10 minutes.  what a ghastly sickness.  better days ahead.  I am 13 lbs less than I was on 1/2, but this is not the way to lose weight.  ick. that is it for today.

finally Friday. due to the overwhelming success of my Ghost Moose story (in my own mind), here is a parable entitled: THE WOLVES In a nice town where wolves were not indigenous, a wolf showed up...then another wolf....then many wolves.  The townspeople asked the government to help them get rid of the wolves...the government said "no - we will set out food for the wolves, and make them places to live".  the townspeople said "but we don't want wolves around here.  they take up space that we townspeople built, and we cannot go there because it is unsafe due to the wolves.  the wolves have gotten into our schools, and our kids cannot learn at the right pace because the teachers are too busy dealing with problems caused by the wolves.  we do not want wolves around, so please stop feeding them and making places for them to live."  The government said no - wolves are ok, and we even want them to vote in your elections.  Get used to the wolves, they ain'...

Will winter never end?  This weather sucks - can't do anything outside.  and, looking at the pics I post, you know I love to be outside. so, Gov.

How ya coming on fixing the pension mess, Einstein??? Gov. Quinn:  please tell us your IQ.  If the question confuses you , please make a confused face and answer with your fingers. Does anyone miss the obligatory outdoors pic?

some things are just to precious for words.....take this story about the budget hole that Illinois is in... http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/illinois/tax-increase-illinois-state-budget-deficit-growing-billions-civic-federation-20110926 here is a quote from a union spokesman about what needs to be done so we, the taxpayer, can continue to be forcibly ass raped into providing ridiculous pensions: AFSCME wants to amend the Illinois Constitution, replacing the state's flat tax with a graduated income tax. All who now pay tax hand over 5 percent of their income. The union envisions high-earners paying a lot more. "We need to look at a progressive amendment to the constitution that will allow the state to tax the rich, make the wealthy pay their fair share for the first time," AFSCME spokesperson Anders Lindall said. "We could also look at corporate income taxes. Right now, many small businesses feel that the tax burden falls too heavily on them." So, ...
