Today's Question(s):
In honor of all the cook-outs and picnics this weekend.
Which way do you eat corn on the cob? Circular, with a mostly left to right direction. Like a typewriter.
Bonus Question: What was your first job where you got paid by someone other than your parents?
The first job more official than mowing lawns: working in a grocery store bagging groceries and mopping the floor at night.
Extra Credit Question: Have you ever forgot to tell someone “The rest of the story” and because we won't tell anyone, did you really forget?
We likely all have. The older you get the more you know when to .

So you win a pet monkey at a fair, but this isn't just any old monkey. It can do one trick for you whenever you want from getting a pop out of the fridge to washing your clothes or hair. What would be the trick? Good Lord almighty, I hate those nasty creatures, can I have a pony instead????? K,thanks

Usually it's because someone butts in and I figure "screw it."

Newspaper Carrier Day
Oatmeal Day
Babble
Beautiful weather. Which means fall is approaching.
We went to Rock Bottom today and sat on the outside patio. The first time for quite a while. The fish and chips (Mrs. Tek) was Cod instead of Salmon and she was not impressed. I got Titan Toothpicks, which were NOT what they used to be. I got four and ate less than two. Whatever they did to change them was disgusting. Seriously gross food. Never again.
On the other hand the beer was amazing.
We are in the midst of replacing some windows and getting some trim and siding replaced. You know the crappy economy we are all experiencing? Apparently it is not affecting our area. Any work we want done might get done this fall/winter. Maybe not. Everyone is so busy they can't promise work being done this year.
Economy? Doing fine here. At least for this type of work.
I stopped taking Gabapentin a week ago yesterday. So far the results are good. No dizziness and the "barrier" I felt in my forehead is gone. I had some withdrawal symptoms for a few days, but they seem to be gone. I've had little pain from my Sciatica or the pain I get in my fingers, shoulder, hips, etc. I'm hanging in there!
