I received a lovely card in the mail today from Sundae's Mum thanking me for our lunch date. It made my day.

Yeah. Thta's been making me smile quite a bit.
Two things are making me happy right now. 1st I managed to get in to see the dermatology doctor at my practice. She's really good. I was pretty sure I knew what I was looking at as it seems very similar to what went on with my skin about 18 months back. But I wanted to make sure. And yes, it does seem to be an underlying viral infection which is causiong the continued itch and reinfection (bacterial). So, I have antivirals and am feeling a little more in control of the situation again. 2nd: Carrot's been really funny the last few days. He's such a little comedian. And if he does something that makes me laugh my laughing makes him do it more :p proper little character he is.

I thought I'd been gypped by a website I use.
Despite entering a coupon code, the free item I was expecting did not appear on the invoice. I emailed the Customer Service Dept immediately, saying that if the free item was not available I wanted to lower the value of my order - I needed everything I had ordered, but not all at that precise time. I ordered more than usual to claim the free gift. I had an email response to say they had entered the relevant code for me. Huh? The next response was to tell me my parcel was despatched. I read both mails at the same time. So I called them. Oh no sorry, looks like the item wasn't added at all. I queried why the deal was still being advertised if they were out of stock. I also pointed out that I had requested a smaller order immediately after purchase, and it wasn't my error. Since it had already been packed and sent I was offered a 10% discount voucher. Free items cannot be despatched separately, the system will not allow it. I agreed with reasonably good grace - she'd tried to resolve the situation after all. The next day I got to thinking. The free gift was worth £7.99. In order to recoup that I'd have to spend £79 on my next order?! No thank you! Luckily when I got home my delivery was there. They'd included £8 extra of the cat food I'd ordered. So I got free cat food and a £10 voucher. Yay for ZooPlus Customer Service!

My wife and I now have a brand new refrigerator! Yikes, it cost as much as the first car I bought back in 1974 but it's a beauty. An LG french door model in a midnight black semigloss finish with soft blue LED lighting! It has an alarm system to warn if the door is left open or breached in time of war and 32 separate temperature sensors, an interior air filtration system. And it comes with a 50 caliber rapid fire machine gun just in case of enemy attack!

Don't worry Dana - no one here is a Freudian.

Three years ago I was told to pull the plug on my son.
Yesterday he and I along with my father, my brother & his son went fishing 60 miles offshore. My son helped reel in a 50+lb tuna. Happy? I'm fucking ecstatic. Fukkin' doctors... The irony you ask? (just play along) The hospital called a few weeks ago asking us to be in a commercial as one of their "success stories" I replied, not calmly, "Really? If I had listened to you he'd be dead today - go fuck yourself." I then hung up. Upon reflection ... yep ... Go fuck yourself HARRRRRRRD. Happy Anniversary bud.

Holy shit, it's three years ago? Doesn't seem that long. Probably seems longer to you though :P
Happy Anniversary to you and your lad. It's a good day to be alive.
