A Day of Reckoning
NOTE: ANOTHER RUNNING BLOG CAN BE FOUND AT WWW.MUSSOPINI23.BLOGSPOT.COM
So, Im headed back to the Bay tonight. Gonna see my wife for the first time in almost 6 months. I am nervous, excited, and confused. I really don't know how to feel. I am interested to see her reaction to me when we see each other. I keep dreaming about the moment, and I am trying not to get my hopes up. This should be interesting.
Ok, I really, really hate it when a commercial tells you what something costs, and then they tell you how much a multi-unit pack would cost....and it's just that number times the original price! Isn't the assumption that, if you tell me what a group of four would cost me, Im getting a discount? This commercial for a golf outing said, "175 per person, and ONLY 700 for a foursome." Hey, lab partner, that's just 175 times 4. Why not tell me how much a 100some is. Are we all so stupid that they need to do the math for us? I know that whenever I go to a fast food place, I do the math, to make sure the combo meal is saving me money. Go to Carl's Jr sometime. It doesn't. It's just everything added together! It's a joke!
Something really odd I noticed this morning. This guy had a bumper sticker that said "Crohns Happens." Obviously referring to Crohns disease, an intestinal condition. It affects about 1 million Americans. That is about .5% of the population, and this guy has a bumper sticker. Great, that's what I need, one more disease to worry about. Look, Im already focused on MS, Cancer, AIDS, Alzheimers, and about 100 other conditions. Now, I gotta add Crohns, because it happens? Come on man, Ive got too much on my plate as it is. What's next? Gingivitis Happens! Oh no, no, nooooooooooooo!
