Top doc backs picking your nose and eating it

As Weird AL would say — “Gotta Boogie!”

This just re-enforces my Germ Theory…

Utech Germ Theory

If you are a germ freak, you know always washing your hands, sanitizing your hands, washing everything, use paper towel to open doors, you get the point right? When a itty-bitty germ gets to you it’ll knock you for a loop and BAM you are sick. So the best way is to not be a hand washing-sanitizing nut. Wash your hands before you eat most of the time. Wash your hands after #2 but not always after #1. It is gross, a little, but it is better than eating boogers. “Eat a little dirt” like Grandma always said. That way you keep the immune system strong.

TechDirt: Apple Ads Smacked Down By Dell

Apple’s benchmarks put to the test

So it isn’t the fastest processor when you do a similar comparative test. Dell even claims that they are faster, but then again they use a test that favors the IBM platform. So can we just say, “too close to call” I guess the Supreme Court will have to get involved and name the ‘real’ winner.

Apple told to halt ‘world’s fastest’ claims for G5

So Apple can’t run ads that they weren’t running any more. I hope their hands really hurt

** I am not trying to start a PC vs. Mac fight here. I understand that both systems have their own strengths and weaknesses. I happen to have both in my family. So I guess you could say we are an ‘inter-platform’ family. At least we ain’t inbreedin’.**

Took the day as a vacation day. I need a break! Rode with Jae in the new car. She does really good, pretty sure she is better than I am, I need to relearn how to drive a stick. We took the girls to school this morning, stopped back at home to change clothes (get out of the work wear) and Jae ran Evan out to her parents, waiting on her to get back now.

Setup my vacation reply for the work email. Actually I had to find where it was since I have never used it before. Got changed. Got the laundry sorted and going (IT NEVER ENDS!) and need to get in the kitchen and get the dishes switched around. Hopefully we can get some control in this house, hey if it’s clean maybe we can actually get some stuff moved around this weekend.

Really hope Janet and I can have a date this weekend. I can’t even remember when we had on. It has been WAY too freaking long! I really want to see The Passion movie, but it really isn’t a good date movie from what I have heard :). Who knows.

Need to get to a FedEx location today, the case from NewEgg was damaged when I got it. At first they said they could send a replacement part but called yesterday to say it isn’t available so I need to do an exchange. So all the components came out last night and I gotta get this 22 pound box shipped back to California. That’s gonna cost me $15 and take a week to get there, then I get to wait probably another week for the new case to show up. So the new PC is on hold for 2 weeks. GRRRRRR!!!

Oh well, off to get the dishes taken care of and listen to Glenn Beck…. more later.

I had a doctor appointment today. Last time I was in to see our family doc was April 6, 2002, for some reason I don’t remember what I was in for. But the most interesting part was that on my last visit I weighed 251. Today I stepped on the scale and it read 209. And let me point out that it was the middle of the afternoon and not long after lunch. Yeah, I know excuses, excuses. Any way, the doctor noticed. “I’ve been working out.” The doctor complimented what I have been doing and it felt good. So even though I am not on stage let me just take a moment to thank all the people that have been a help and inspiration to me. First, my wife, Janet, words can not express nor can time ever contain the appreciation and love I have for you and how you have and continue to support me. Thanks to my inspiration, Tom, you continue to make it real! Thanks to BFL for the method. And thanks to the others that continue to be an inspiration to me through their own progress, specifically Gary, Andrea (get a blog girl! or at least an email account!!!), and Mark, and the others that I am forgetting. And Thanks to The Lord for putting all of these people in my life, you have truly blessed me.

Well, u– um, can we come up and have a look?
