Get in the Bunker!




There have been just under 300 confirmed cases of the swine flu as of today.

About 3000 people die a day from Malaria

Millions of courses of medications to treat this flu are being stockpiled.

One $10.00 insecticide bed net can protect an entire family from contracting a disease that can kill them within days of contracting.

I wonder how many $10.00 insecticide nets one could get with 1/1000 of the money being used to ensure our safety from a flu.

I so desperately hope that I am not alone in thinking that there is something terribly wrong with this picture.

Building stuff

I have decided to try my hand at rodent hotel construction. The kidlets will be getting some guinea pigs soon (if they comply with my long list of demands)and I can not find anything suitable for these critters in any pet chain. Anyway, while trolling the interwebz I found a rather clever alternative for the supercrap plastic cages. I will build this cage, it will be awesome and my tarnished image of past ill attempts of undertaking such things will be erased from history.

I'm awesome.

This is the kind of stuff that makes me so angry. I am just not sure what pisses me off more, the woman in question or the type of rag that reports things like this as "news".

ADHD








I am a huge fan of Paint. Everyone seems to know how to do it and do it well. I on the other hand can not. I want to. About every month or so I sit down, determined to learn this....um....I think it is called an "application". See, I am just about the most useless person when it comes to computers. The fact that my job is one that requires me to sit at my desk, in front of a computer for eight hours a day is alarming when you consider my inability to use one. All of these little "features" ie:Paint, Word....just confuse me. Anyway, back to Paint and how I want to learn how to use it. I get these pictures from my friends and it makes me practically pee my pants. I really think that learning to use Paint would change my life for the better. I bet it would be as awesome as it was when I figured out what the whole masturbation thing was REALLY about. I would spend my days putting clever little moustaches on dogs and writing "Douchbag" with an arrow pointed to the unfortunate drunkard who happened to get into the shot. Man Alive, what bliss!

Tomorrow is the day I learn Paint.

ummm bioterrorism?!?!

Is it just me or is the idea of an emergency kit a little extreme? I mean, I have about 6 loose bandaids in my bathroom drawer, the only batteries I have in the house are in things requiring batteries and those batteries are often replaced with batteries from other battery using object. I have some candles but they are mostly floating in my underwear drawer or my dust and cob web covered sex box. I read different news groups and I swear to God these people are making me shit bricks.

Here is part of a "common sense" list:

-couple of boxes of masks-
- candles, matches, batteries,
-5 gallons of gas,
-six gallons of water,
-enough dry goods and canned foods to avoid the supermarket for four weeks, first aid kit,
- a woodpile

A woodpile?!?! What the fuck? I can't even start a fire with a stack of newspapers and a lighter. Apparently I am woefully unprepared. Either that or this world is crazier than I thought.
G-danged SwineFlu
