As a few of you have already heard, the little man broke his finger over the weekend. The wife was on duty so I am in the clear. The nurse practitioner at the hospital called it 'an open fracture'. I call it a busted up digit. He was at a bowling outing and tripped carrying a ball. The ball squished his finger and split the bone at the tip of his finger. It also jacked up his nail on that finger. Today is a visit with the orthopedist. I am really going to reach my $2200. deductible early this year. He was a trooper and didn't cry at all at the hospital. And he must have been so cute (just like dad) that the nurse ushered us in past a waiting room full of waiting people. Ohhhh, they must have been bitter. I didn't look back.

The dog is a total terror. We had two other Huskies before. One was a dream as a puppy, the other a total nightmare. Can you guess which this dog acts like?? She cries whenever she is put in the cage and likes to pee in the house. I can understand if I don't take the dog out, she might pee on my floor. But I take the beast out, she pees, then comes in and pees again. WTF?? So when I get her out of the cage in the morning it would be wet on her towel and the newspapers. I figured she had to go at night. Then if I went anywhere and come home maybe an hour later, the stuff would still be soaked. Dog can't have to go that much. I figured out what it is. She gets to howling and whining and gnawing at the cage. All the liquid???? She is foaming at the mouth. Unbelievable. Drooling all over the cage to escape. And I paid money for this? But she sure is cute.

The weekend before last we had a birthday party for one of the kids. Now I know it seems like we are always having a birthday party for one of the kids. We are, because we have lots of kids. So the wife plans the party at 2pm. She thinks we won't have to feed all the family. Oh I forgot to mention this was just a family party because I have to choke up money for the little princess to have an ice skating party during the week with her friends. So I tell the wife, it is like this. You can't take food from these animals, they have come to expect it. I tried to get her to understand it in relative terms. I told her they would like Ebone the first time he came back from Thailand and got a massage over here. At the end of the massage the lady said your are done and Ebone said 'What???????'. Then I tried to tell her it is like playing poker at EBones house and not waking up to eggs, bacon, waffles, fruit and juice. I would go nuts. (BTW, Ebone, don't let that ever happen). She was still not comprhending. Finally I said it is like you go to the mall and there is nothing for you to buy. She finally got the picture. We ended up serving food. I busted out chicken wings. They were a big hit. I think I ended up making some cash for the maker of my fryer. There were several inquiries about it and a possible purchase too.

I still haven't talked to Nosaj since the Packers lost in the playoffs. He hasn't called so he might actually be dead. At least he didn't owe me any money.

Lumpy should feel a little better today. I talked to one other person that is going through a detox program right now. If you don't know what that is, it is a bottle of pills you take to make you crap a lot and feel better. Lumpy loves a good detox program. So this person doesn't want me to mention his name. But you can still secretly laugh at him and his many bathroom visits he is paying $30 for. I have my own detox program. I call it chicken wings with hot sauce.
