– It was another glorious Thursday at work.
– I got in shortly after 6 AM, and I left at around 3:45 PM.
– That made it a slightly longer than normal work day.
– Despite the glory of this work day I still had to deal with a couple of evildoers.
– Life isn’t perfect, but it’s what you make of it that determines your journey.
– My electric bill for July was over 39% higher than it was for June.
– That’s because it was mostly sunny, hot, and dry in July.
– My HVAC worked harder in July than it did in June when it rained a lot.
– I Love Lucy – Happy Birthday – She would have been 98 today !
– Once upon a time I used to drink a lot of Coca Cola Classic.
– The only way to drink it is straight out of the classic red can.
– I think I’m down to perhaps 3 cans a week.
– I’m drinking one right now, so that’s a treat.
– I’m anxious to find out the results of my blood work come Monday morning.
– How’s my cholesterol ?
– Is Lipitor right for me ?
– I believe that I’m healthier today than I have been in my entire life.
– That’s because I’ve given up virtually everything that’s bad for me.
– For example I stopped drinking in 2007.
– I have no intentions of drinking anything alcoholic ever again.
– Are you ready for something even more shocking ?
– Get ready for this one, for it’s a doozy.
– Here’s an exclusive for those of you who still read my blog.
– I smoked cigarettes for about 30 years.
– Betcha didn’t know that !
– I quit for good exactly 472 days ago (15½ months ago).
– There’s something to talk about for the next couple of weeks.
– I nearly got weak this past week.
– NO – I didn’t nearly smoke.
– I nearly signed-up for Twitter.
– Facebook is the evil empire – no doubt about it.
– But I can actually see how Twitter may possibly enhance my web time.
– OK I’ve returned back to my senses now.
– Twitter is a waste of time as well.
– Well maybe not a total waste of time.
– I’ll leave the Twitter door slightly ajar for now.
– Be sure to catch my ‘Disco Party’ tomorrow night here on the groovy blog.
– I’ve got a classic in the true sense of the word.
– You may be mildly surprised as to my selection for this week.
– Be sure not to miss the fun.
– You won’t regret it pal.
Thursday Night Mini Thoughts
If you join anything it better be facebook. I do not twitter. Facebook would “enhance your web time.” You can see updates on what I am doing any time you want. Now isn’t that grand? Actually, I don’t post what I am doing all that much, but when I do YOU could know! 🙂
Kelly J.,
I can see your updates on your blog – one of the greatest blogs in the entire free nation / blogosphere. So if you post (whatever) on Facebook then I won’t see it until you re-post it on your masterpiece of a blog.
Oooh, I will take those compliments all day long! Thanks!
The good thing about facebook is that there are so many more people reading what you write all the time. It is like a blog, message board, chat room, email, instant messaging, twitter, and myspace all in one application. Blogs are good if you want to limit the people reading. 🙂
Well said, Phillip…
Wow, I was complimented by Vic. It’s a first!
SPEAKING OF ELECTRIC BILLS…. We just got ours for last month….. THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! You heard me right…. $300!!!!!!! Now excuse me while I go sell a kidney on the black market…
Little One,
A $300 electric bill in July in Texas actually sounds about right for your size of a house. Stop complaining. You make hundreds of thousands of dollars per year !
