Random Thoughts on Today

Heres the pictures , here's the poem (it doesn't rhyme), here's the particulars.

Here's my random thoughts from today:

Thank God!!!!

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!!!

I was at work chatting with a coworker. He gets a call on the phone, its the lady I work with in the lab, she is very short and says "Its an emergency, you need to call your wife immediatly." I try to call her back but can't get through. I head down to the lab and the whole way I kept thinking "Is this one of those times your going through the daily motions and all of a sudden your whole life changes?" I thought how I left the house in a rush this morning, and told Valerie didn't have time to wait for her to come across the room to give me a hug.

Thank God!!!

Damn, I'm going to be back in the dog house again because she's going to have to drive the white van again. Its my fault we bought the white van and she's hated it since the day we got it. That one was my big mistake!

There should be some kind of compatency test for drivers after they hit a certian age. The guy that hit her saw both World Wars!

For that matter, maybe we should all take a compatency test every few years.

Emergency rooms at any time of the year are more fun than the mall on Christmas Eve:
Some guy in the waiting room gets called to go see the nurse. He calls down the hall to his wife "Hey Fat Head, come get your purse, I'm going in!"
Crystal said "Maybe they'll treat him for being a Jack-Ass."
"No, they couldn't diagnose him, he's wearing a green t-shirt. You have to be wearing a white wife-beater to be diagnosed with Jack-Ass."

Overheard from neighboring rooms:
"I see you were notified by the health department that you had syphilus. They told you not to have sex for a month, but you did it anyway, right? Thirty days. But, boy, you just couldn't hold out that long could you? So even though you knew you had syphilus, you still had sex. Why'd you have sex? Why'd you have sex when you knew you had syphilus?"

"Wow, how did you cut yourself? And you took it out yourself? Wow! Huh, and you did that yourself? And did you just use one long thread? Oh, well that's your problem. Oh, that's how you always do it? Huh. Well, you're more of a man than I am!e this"

I guess I don't need to worry about the drivers side mirror she broke last week

Wow - for 9 months I 've been meaning to clean out and sell, give away, or drive the white van off of a cliff. Procrastination really paid off!!

Just found out today that the "Power Seat" - the seat behind the drivers seat, that has the controls for the rear air and the stereo, also had an ash tray - along with a cigerette lighter. Surprised the kids didn't burn something.

We had a hail storm and got roof damage. The insurance company cut us a check. We used that to buy a new van. Now we can't afford to get the roof replaced. She totals the van and we're going to get paid for that. Now we can afford to get the roof put on!!

I'm glad we only got a one year liscence for it.

Do I have to pay taxes for it for the whole year of 2007? What if I don't? They won't let me renew the tags for it?

I only have libility on it? But I have full coverage on the white van? Whose fault was that?

She was going 35 - 40. What would it have looked like if she was doing twice that?

$30 oil change, $40 to check the computer codes, $30 new windshield wipers, $25 half a tank of gas. All for not.


Rear AC/Heat
CD player
Leather seats
Quad seating - so each kid has their own seat.
Power windows.
Power door locks
Console.
Heated, power mirrors.
FULL floor mats that cover every inch of carpet!
That little computer thing that tells you how many miles you can drive before you run out of gas.
It also tells you what your current miles per gallon are. If you go down a hill and put it neutral, you can get it up to 99mpg, but that's as high as it goes. It passes the time as you drive through Eastern Colorado.
Power seat controls.
Sunglass holder
Rear control stereo system.
Extended length.
Perfect mechanical condition
Good tires.
Life time warrenty on the brakes.
New battery.
Two clickers (remote keyless entry) that work.
That cool keypad on the drivers side door incase you lock your keys in the car.
A happy wife.

Its all just gone to shit now.

That part that you see caved in on the picture - that's the power seat. If there was a kid in the car, they probably would have been sitting in that seat. It would have been much worse. That buckled in and there was a pair of headphones that I couldn't get out because it was stuck between the floor and the part of the body that had been caved in.

Two seconds. Two seconds more or two seconds less. Getting out of the house, taking out the trash, dropping off a kid, going through a drive through, sitting at a light. Plus/minus two seconds and it wouldn't have happened. I've thought of this alot.

Its a big chunk of metal. Its just a thing.

Thank God!!!!!!
