Don't worry, bee happy.


I am having a slight case of writer’s block. I am sure I will come up with something soon but I just have to wait for the cobwebs to clear out and my brain to function again. I get like this every spring as I overdose on allergy medication. I am beginning to think that my wife is right and that there is a lot of vacant space in my head. I hate to be gross but I have been blowing my nose so much that there is no way all that stuff could be contained in nasal passages. I know my coworkers are disgusted from hearing me blow my nose but I really can’t help it. I don’t feel that bad but my nose won’t stop running. Ok it is pretty gross.

It is very cloudy today but we are getting very little rain. I love the rain and how it washes all the pollen away. Seeing all that yellow stuff going down the drains makes me happy. Every spec of pollen that gets washed down the drain is one less that I have to deal with. I wonder if fish have allergies. If they do, I bet they hate the rain. I guess it could be worse. I could be a honey bee. They have to deal with all that pollen all year long. They also have to deal with mites which seem to be killing them off at an alarming rate. Maybe that is what it is. Maybe my allergies are bad this year because I am allergic to bee mites. Now wouldn’t that something. What will I think of next?

Have a great day,
Greg

Does your wife have a blog?

She sounds like a funny lady!

I love the bee happy picture and just maybe you will think of something to blog about tomorrow.

As for me singing on my blog. I haven't a clue how to get it their. I'm not southern in the least bit so I didn't want people thinking that it was me singing. LOL!!!

Blessings,
Lori

Well at least you were able to pull off a catchy title for the post!

There isn't anything fun about allergies. So sorry for you! Take care!

You know, I've been in the same sort of lull lately.....and you just hate to force yourself to do it.....I've been posting a few times a weeks as opposed to everyday.....it's hard to stay away when you're used to doing it all the time.....but I've enjoyed my break.

I hate that you are having such a hard time with allergies lately.....I hope that you get to feeling like yourself soon!

I hope you get some relief soon. It sounds like you are suffering from those allergies. Maybe you need to move to Arizona or some place with less pollen!

Now Greg, I have to wonder, "How do you do all that gardening with your allergies so severe?" You must love gardening a whole lot!

Yes what will you think of next LOL. At least your sense of humor is intact. Take care Greg - here's hoping it just pours for a couple hours and gets rid of that nasty pollen.

I noticed today that my screened in porch is coated with green pollen. Tonight it is raining outside; I wish it would rain in the porch as well and clean all the pollen away for me but I guess I'll have to do that myself.

I am so sorry, but I laughed at this. Not at your suffering but how funny you are about it. Sneezing fish, now that's agony and they have nothing to blow their noses into... ewwww.
Hope it rains hard for you tonight.

Have you ever tried a Neti Pot. It is for cleaning the inside of your sinuses. Just like taking a shower washes away the pollen from your body, a Neti pot washes away the pollen from the sinuses. Good luck with that.

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot, With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot. There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter, And cold cold milk, straight from the udder. And fer desert, get ya some pie, There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly. YUMMMM YUMMMMM Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music. Or so he said. This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert. Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. The...

The legend of Flat Stanley (A Horror Story)

Image
There are a few things in life that upset me: Spiders, rude people, unruly children and spilling my coffee to name a few. But nothing gets my blood boiling faster than hearing the name Flat Stanley. On the surface, Stanley sounds like something innocent, but I am here to tell you that he is evil and has the power to tear your family apart. Flat Stanley was the brain child Dale Hubert, a third grade teacher from Ontario Canada. Back in 1995, he decided to start this project to inflict pain on unsuspecting parents and students as well. The concept is simple: You take a picture of Flat Stanley and decorate it. Then you cut it out and there you have it….Flat Stanley. Then you send it to other people and they take stupid photos of them with Stanley or you take him on vacation with you in order to ruin your vacation and Dale should be shot or better yet put in a pot of boiling oil and slowly fried and tortured and and and Ha Ha….Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….Whahahahahahahahaha Sorry this happens every ti...
