The Plague

Well, Steph is relapsing with The Plague and must return to the doctor today, so Aunt Tudi and I are on our own in Asheville. Steph sounded horrible last night. I really feel for her since I went through the same thing just recently. In fact, I know a lot of people who've had to take double rounds of everything in order to get rid of whatever this skank is, and they're still coughing their heads off, myself included.

I think it's the poisons the big corporations are allowed to pump into our atmosphere....y'know the crap we all breathe and get sick from but is protected by the convenient diversion of Second Hand Smoke. ::cue dramatic incidental music here::
Nothing like a good scapegoat, like a few hundreds of thousands of smokers, to cover up the fact that you're making money by destroying the atmosphere. Ain't Capitalism grand?

It's almost time to rouse Aunt Tudi. We're leaving a little later than expected it seems.

Prosthetics

I'm so crunched for time it's not even funny, but I need to take a minute to immortalise a sign I saw in Asheville.

There's the huge prosthetics store near downtown...I can't even remember the name of it....and it has a sign out front that says, and I quote:

START THE NEW YEAR OUT ON THE RIGHT FOOT. WE CAN HELP!

That's too damned funny.

OK...I'm off to de-Sasquatch.

One more thing...

I have a great little slogan for the prosthetics store:

OUR PRICES WON'T COST YOU AN ARM AND A LEG

I should call them up and suggest it.

Meme-a-rific

Orright, I am de-Sasquatched and de-dusted so I shall now treat myself to a meme, courtesy of bluestocking7

Here's how it works (but it only works if you've been with LJ for quite a while):
Go back a year ago today and copy that post; then go back another year and do the same, etc. etc., as far back as you can. If you haven't had one for a whole year, go back to your first post and use that, then go halfway between then and now and post that.
