Me too, Duke! Most evenings I don't get home from work until 6:30 or later. DST gives me more daylight time so I can at least get a few outdoor chores done after work.
Yeah, same here.  I LOVE it not getting dark until nearly 10:00 in the summer time.  I wish the entire nation would STAY on DST.....and move on.

Ditto!
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Rode me Ole' Electraglide this evening for a while and heck the day before I rode me Ole' 83 GS 11100 Suke for a few miles but shucks Ole' Duke damn near rides year round. I doubt if a have missed  at least a ride per month (usually several per month) in the past 8 years.

What is the point of having a physician electronically send your prescription to your pharmacy, when the pharmacy takes in excess of 4 hours to fill said prescription?  :rant:

I waited through a waiting room full of hacking, snot-nosed, feverish people to see him. And the whole experience took less than 30 minutes; much to my surprise. (I was one of those hacking, snot-nosed, feverish people; which is why I was there int he first place).

I left the doctors office in a good mood despite my physical ailments, and figured I'd be home and in the bed where I belonged before an hour went by. WRONG!

I had lunch, eating very slowly, and eating up 45 minutes between the time I left the doctors office and finished eating. I arrived at the pharmacy to hear, "It's not ready yet". "I'll wait", was my reply.

And fucking wait I did. And after 2 additional hours, (hours that I should have spent at home, relaxing, and not exposing the masses to my disease), it was STILL, "Not ready yet".

Seriously? I left there and am still awaiting the call that says my Z-Pak and cough pearls are ready.

Fuck that shit. Next I'll get a nagging letter from the mail order pharmacy my heath insurance requires that I use, reminding me of the requirement that I use them. . . If I could wait 3 weeks for those asshats to send me my antibiotics I'd use them, but the fact is I can't. Then again. . . Walgreens isn't going to do a whole lot better either!  :rant: :rant: :mad: :rant:

You should drink more.  If germs can get past the constant onslaught of alcohol I throw at them, they deserve to kick my ass!   :biggrin:

Seriously, I am not a drinker, but I do indulge in some whiskey (usually Jack Daniels) when I am hacking, snot-nosed and feverish.  A couple of shots in the evening, one when I get home, followed by a hot shower, hit the couch, then another before I go to bed, and USUALLY, it seems as if I manage to work my way through it.

I've never developed a taste for whiskies; in fact my body seems to reject the stuff right out of the gate. Those few that I've been able to tolerate served to bring out the Hyde in me, so I ignore the stuff.

Vodka was something I developed a dangerous affinity for years ago. Love the stuff. . . too much at one point.

These days I am a tea-totaller for the most part, but will drink Guinness on occasion and a shot or two of Patron. (I keep a nice bottle of vodka in the liquor cabinet, just to reassure myself that my victory over it stands).

I used to drink Rock and Rye when I was sick. Can't find the stuff in this area of the country, but it is widely available in my hometown. Only problem is I no longer live in my hometown. . .

Since this is the venting thread: I frigging HATE comcrap! I bought their damned DOCSIS broadband modem and my broadband is still akin to dial up!  :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Fuckers!
