The proof is in the puddle

I see why I have been getting headaches lately. I am cursed with really bad allergies. Mostly I am allergic to tree pollen. Now you see why I set the tree on fire when I was a child. I am miserable this time every year but I will try to keep smiling and maintain my positive attitude even though there is a war going on inside my sinuses. I know it is only a temporary thing so soon enough it will be over. No this picture isn't inside my nose although it will be looking like this soon. This is a puddle at work after the rain we had this morning. Time for some Benedryl.

"Yellow Gold"



It's not really gold. It is only valuable to my doctor. :)



Happy Friday,
Greg

Me, too! Although the pollen hasn't come out yet up here in New England, but when I wake up on a spring morning and see our car coated in green or yellow, I know it's going to be a rough day nose-wise. I guess that's one reason to be thankful I work in a huge skyscraper without access to fresh air all week. Claritin D is my all-time medicinal best friend. Benadryl just knocks me out, but Claritin actually makes me feel better. Hope you feel better soon!

I share in your agony. At least you keep your sense of humor. I like that about you.

Hey did you change the look of your blog or am I just going crazy? It looks different anyhow. I think I have allergies since coming back here and never had them before....even when I lived here 4 years ago. It's no fun, that's for sure.

Allergies are the worst! I feel your pain. Every car at school was yellow today.

When the shrubby pines lose their pollen a bit later in the season I get some awful headaches too.
Take care of yourself Greg - hopefully it will pass soon.
I do like the photo though. :)

Hope you feel better soon. Everything is blooming here in Southern California, too.

My young son, our official lawn-mower, put on a mask today, when he went out to mow.

(But then again, our back yard is beautiful green weeds)

When I lived in SC, the only allergy I had was to the tree pollen, as well. Other than that, I was a healthy person down there!!!
Up here?!? I am allergic to everything!!! I suffer year round. It is all this soybean & corn & agriculture stuff we are surrounded by. Yuck!!

Heh, checked out your realty site and added you as my realtor. Searched awhile and saved a few of the houses I had found. I may just be using you in the future for when I am ready to move back! :)

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Image
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...

If you are coming here from the "Time" article, please feel free to look around. I didn't find out until today that they used a link to my blog. Welcome. Very quickly, My wife and I got married at this plantation. It is right around the corner from where we live now so if you have any questions about it, feel free to email me and ask.

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...
