Well...I went to my dental exam. I wasn't really nervous...I have never had a problem with dentists. I was more concerned because I hadn't been to one in a LONG time (since I was 17). I guess I was more curious as to how much damage had been done and what would the procedures be to correct the problems.
It started off with x-rays...that showed no problems at all. Gums and roots were fine...none were crazy crooked. Then the dentist saw me...and recorded every single filling, cap, and extraction I had into my chart. He asked if I took really good care of my teeth. I replied that I brush every day...but don't floss because my hands are too fat. He chuckled and asked when was the last time I had seen a dentist. I told him just over 10 years. He asked if I was lying and I said no. I asked why...and he said there was tartar build-up along the gum line and back of the bottom set of teeth (which is normal...which is why a cleaning is recommended every six months) however that my build-up looked like 2-3 yrs without seeing a dentist. Also...no cavities or other issues. Gums were fine...no infection.
Yes...I felt a swell of pride. But it's still bad...I have been insured on a constant basis since I was 20 and I never took the time to see a dentist. I'm kind of glad I did today. The only thing I didn't miss was the flavor of the paste the hygenist used. That shit HAS NOT changed at all. Other than that, it went well.
The problem? EVERYTHING was covered by my insurance. No additional work needed. I didn't spend a dime. I NEED TO SPEND THIS MONEY SOMEHOW!!! Hjhdailusdnhbuargvouahrnibua213/'4!!!!!!!

Well...the end of the fiscal year is almost here. That means I had to review what I had leftover in my flexible spending account. I budgeted for $1,500.00. Of course, my clone didn't get that sick. I have yet to visit a doc (scheduled an appointment for the 22nd) and a dental appointment tomorrow (vision will be within the next two weeks). So now the problem...I have a little over $1,000.00 to spend...by August 31st...or it goes bye bye. SO...my ex and I were reviewing what OTC items are covered. First aid kits, bandages, OTC medicines, and other items were covered (I'm also going to buy a blood pressure monitor...might as well...it's covered too). However, I saw a section for birth control...and condoms were on there. Condoms...WHY THE HELL DIDN'T I KNOW THIS SOONER?! That's like...50 or 60 bucks that I could have used right there! Also, Christian Science practitioner services were listed. WTF is that for? Anywho...I get to go medical supply shopping. I'm thinking of buying myself a prosthetic arm. That'd be sweet!

So yesterday I get a call from my mom. She's freaked out because they broke into a neighbor's house. At approx. 11:30 a.m., some fool busted through the back door and made out with a 42" flat screen, jewlery, cash, and kitchenware. I mean wtf?! A while back, someone broke into another neighbor's house, held an 82 yr old woman at gunpoint, and cleaned her out...even took the fridge. What...the...FUCK!! WHO THE FUCK STEALS A FRIDGE...AND KITCHENWARE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
So yeah...after a serious discussion (that lasted two minutes), we decided to go buy guns. She got a Taurus .38 SPL (http://www.taurususa.com/products/product-details.cfm?id=291&category=Revolver). I was concerned about her arthiritis and the recoil...and the muzzle flash for her eyes, but it's a medium-sized barrel...that and she has experience with revolvers. As for myself, I went with the .40S&W cal Walther P99 AS (http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10002&catalogId=13152&langId=-1&productId=58948&tabselected=over&isFirearm=Y&parent_category_rn=43803). It's so damn beautiful. Little did I know the airsoft version I already had closely resembles the design (magazine release, slide lock, etc.). We're supposed to go test them sometime soon. I'm planning on Sunday.
So yeah...I'm REALLY thinking about abandoning the area I grew up in. It's such a shame.

I just got back from watching Wolverine. The best way I could describe it is this...let's say if my daughter wanted to be in a play. She studies her lines for Jack and the Bean Stalk...she remembers her places...and then she does the play. You watch the play...but are felt somewhat odd. She does horribly...but I'm still proud of her and happy to see the play. Yes...I know. It's confusing. But I'm willing to be that you would probably be walking out at the end confused as well. You probably wouldn't know what to think. It could be a month from now...and I still wouldn't know what to think.

Well...the past two weeks, I put in 82 hours at Domino's...not including ACCD's (I mean ACC...I mean Alamo Colleges) 80. So...as always...that means a lot of driving time. I knocked in about 1800 miles in two weeks. Sometimes it's demoralizing...sometimes it's uplifting. I try to have fun. I mean...I don't need the money, but it's always nice to have a little cushion (especially in these rough times).
So, I started taking pics while on the road. I really don't have much time to get a great shot, but I do what I can. Most are kind of like the windshield shot I did when the flood hit back in '07. Why am I doing this? I see soooooo many odd things when out and about. All sorts of weird accidents, weird dancing (which I still need to upload from my phone), weird cars (i.e. - rims bigger than car!). I don't have much of that now...but if I come across it, I'll share it. Warning...these are pretty large files. ( So now...amateur photo hour! )

Because I'm retarded (and because...for some reason...this is something my memory can't retain), who is going to A-kon? I know Jose, Amanda and Ken are going. I can't remember who else.

Right now...I hate Discount Tire...with immense anger and a burning passion greater than a thousand suns. Those fuckers stripped my lug nuts. Not ONLY did they strip my lug nuts...they also tore the threads off of my wheel studs. How did I find out? After changing my brake pads. The damn nuts wouldn't come off. Having to force them off is going to cost me. I mean seriously...how hard is it to turn a few lugs by hand before using the air-drill? It doesn't take a fuckin genius to figure this out! FUCK!!!!!
So now...I have to get creative just to replace the studs. Service manual says I have to remove the bearings to change out the studs. As the south sider I am, I'm putting the car in neutral to turn the rotor to knock them out from the space left open on the dust shield. While I'm at it, I can take this opportunity to properly bleed the lines and swap the rotors. Eh well...it's relatively cheap (total for parts: $89.00; elbow grease (labor): free!)...but still a pain in the ass. Future personal mental note: avoid Discount Tire.
What a way to start my b-day week!

Sorry...I haven't had the bug to write much on here lately. So let me bring everybody up to speed.
* I've picked up a second job...delivering pizzas again. Yes...I know...I don't know why I do it either. Delivering pizzas. There are reasons why I need a second job (MONEY!). But why delivering pizzas? I don't know. Maybe I like driving...60 mph...in a 35...jumping hills and drifting turns. So yeah...if you see a tan Honda with a Domino's topper around the North Star - Quarry area, that's probably me trying to get an order to it's destination in a timely manner. I've got 30 minutes!
* Main job is okay. As most of you may know from Jose's postings, a manger from our area has transferred to a campus (I still refuse to call them a "college"). That eased the strain on me for a bit, but I still have projects to finish. Going on trips to Kerrville for support isn't making it any easier. Although the foilage is pretty damn nice during this time of year...so is the BBQ.
* My clone is doing wonderful. She's already been categorized as a second-grade reader. She has the bug, ya know? Every sign we pass, she reads it. It kinda sucks though because I had to spend 45 minutes explaining the Amber Alert system to her. She's doing well in math, too! Which leads me to her x-mas present. I'm thinking of buying her a laptop. Any pros/cons? I'm probably going to get her a low-end Dell Studio model. Hopefully I can talk to my Dell rep from work to see if he can get me a deeper price cut.
* I'm going to do the Pub Run again this coming First Friday. So if you're on Alamo around 8:00 - 10:00 p.m., be on the look out for me and buy me a beer. I'm gonna be thirsty!

I smoke...yes it's bad. Yes, studies have proven for second hand smoking to be harmful. There is this outdoor foyer that everyone used to go to for a smoke break...until the Board passed a resolution stating that no smoking is to take place on ANY ACC grounds (students, factulty and staff included). So over here...we resort to smoking close to Motel 6. However...this is what it really feels like.
If you can't tell...I love this show...a lot.
