  • Happiness Through Quackery

    Not that I mind a good quack from time to time, but there are quacks out there who give quacking a bad name. At least they can provide us some amusement on occasion, though…

    By following the simple advice I heard on a Dr. Phil’s show, I have finally found inner peace. Dr. Phil proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started. So I looked around my house to see which things I have started and hadn’t finished; and, before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Cardonay, a bole of Baileys, a butle of Kehuha, a pockage of Tim Toms, tha mainder of my Prozic and Valum scriptins, the res of the Chesescke, some cofee an a baxa cholates. Yu haf no idr who gud I fel.

  • Money changes everything. Or maybe just something.

    While it’s true that money can’t buy happiness, and there are problems for which the best solution may not be the application of wads of cash, I still feel better knowing that federal tax refunds landed in a couple of specific bank accounts this morning.

    My weekend will still be busy, but at least it won’t suck quite so much due to lack-of-funds like my weekends tend to do.

    Now I just need my new computer to get here already. Oh, and my birthday vacation, too. And… well, never you mind what else I need.
