A Few Toast To Drink To...

*"It's better to spend money like there is no tomorrow, 

Than to spend tonight like there is no money".

*"Here's to being single... 

Drinking doubles... 

And seeing Triple!"

*"I drink to your health when I'm with you, 

I drink to your health when I'm alone, 

Hell I drink to your health so often, 

I'm starting to worry 'bout my own".

*"Here's to me, 

here's to you, 

but if we ever disagree, 

f*#@ you, 

here's to me".

*“Here’s to Hell!  

May my stay there be as much fun as my way there!”

*"There are several good reasons for drinking,

 And one has just entered my head,

 If a man can't drink when he's living,

 Then how the heck can he drink when he's dead?"

"Here's to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold beer and another one!" 

"May the winds of fortune sail you,
May you sail a gentle sea.
May it always be the other guy
who says, "this drink's on me."

And From Me To You - Here's My Toast...

I Like Beer. 

On occasion, I will even drink Beer to
celebrate a major event,

such as the fall of communism,
or the fact that the refrigerator is still working!!!

THE PIG THAT SCREWED MY JOE CAIN DAY!!!

OH CONTRAIRE - NOT JUST ONE,

FOR I AM RARE - UNLIKE SOME...

MY FLU SWAB WAS POSITIVE FOR BOTH INFLUENZA A & INFLUENZA B...

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL - OH LUCKY ME.

I'M TOLD ALONG WITH THAT BUNDLE OF GOOD NEWS,

THAT BRONCHITIS AND URI ARE MIXED IN THE SPEW!!!

My Letter To The Flu!!!
Dear Influenza A & B,
Was there a sign on my door that said come see me?
"No" that's what I thought,
But yet, it was me you sought.
Imagine my shock from the results of the nasal swab,
When it said I had both of you fat, lazy slobs.
And then to put the icing on the cake,
You brought Bronchitis and URI along for the take.
Since you came on Wednesday you should long be gone,
Yet here it is Sunday, and I am still laid up at home.
You brought with you an ear ache, sore throat, nausea, and body pains,
Not to mention a headache, temps up to 103, and a monsoon of rains.
You ruined my favorite weekend of Mardi Gras Season,
And as far as I know without a good reason.
The weekend was to start with Grayson Capps at Pirate's Cove last night,
But instead I had front row seats to watch yourself and MY Body in an internal fight.
What's pissed me off in the most ANGRY way,
That it's your fault that I missed all of the festivities of my most cherished Mardi Gras Event - JOE CAIN DAY!!!
So with that I say - I hate you, I hate you, I hate you - I do,
So remember this next year - Screw You Flu!!!

My Plans For Joe Cain Day - Today!!!

My Reality For Joe Cain Day - Today!!!

How The Flu Invades Your Body - Kinda Makes It Look Cute!!!

This Season Of 2011-2012 Is The First Time I Can Remember Not Getting The Flu Shot.
Let This Be My Lesson!!!

So Remember To Get Immunized Every Year,

PARENTING - Was This Dad's Punishment To Harsh On His 15 Year Old Daughter? What Are Your Thoughts?

Dad Makes You Tube Video And Post It To His 15 Year Old Daughters Facebook, In An Attempt To Teach Her A Lesson.

This is what this Dad had to say to the Chicago - News, article published 2-9-2012.  "Warning in the video's description: Since this video seems to have gone crazy, I figure I'll post this notice. I'm going to read a letter my 15 year old daughter wrote. There ARE some curse words in it. None of them are incredibly bad, but they are definitely things a little kid shouldn't hear... not to mention things MY KID shouldn't say!"

So Now That You Have Watched The Video What Are Your Thoughts?

Do You Think He Should  Have Handled This Situation Differently?

Do You Think He Was Justified In His Actions?

Do You Think He Acted To Soon - Without Thinking Through What He Was Doing?

HOW WOULD YOU HAVE HANDLED THIS SITUATION?

Looking Forward To Your Thoughts!!!
