insert joke here

near my house there's a billboard.

it says, in giant block letters:

HAVE SEX LONGER

then, underneath, in smaller letters it says:

nasal delivery system

i am left with many questions and some unpleasant snuffly imagery.

you can chalk me up in the "no sale" column.

my sister-in-law has pancreatitis. she's in the hospital now. lucky she is, too, 'cause we found out it has a 60% mortality rate. she should be okay since they caught it in time. if by okay you mean unable to eat for two weeks and on some serious pain killers.

we went to visit her on sunday. she is not happy. her poor husband looks like he's been sleeping under a rug in the parking lot for six days.

in australia, they have public health but if you're in the hospital they CHARGE you to watch television. $7.50 a day.

that may be the stupidest thing i have ever heard and -- i don't want to brag or anything -- i've heard some pretty stupid things. television is free pain killer/nursing. why in hell would you want to deny patients something that is A) free and B) going to make your staff's life easier?

we're making mexican food this weekend. if anyone has a good recipe for black beans, guacamole, fresh salsa, or fajita-style chicken please send it along.
