Ever had one of thooose dayz?

This is an Andy Rooney Moment

You ever have one of thoose dayz?
It starts alright, you wake up on time, eat your breakfast have a coffee, shower and shave ready for your first appointment.


Ever had one thooose dayz when everything seems to be place, you drive to your appointment and arrive 10 minutes early. No one is in the waiting room except you and then things start change.

Ever had one thooose dayz when your Doctor can't figure out why you are there and why you need a physical when you see him every other week. You explain it's for a pre-surgery examination which then jogs his memory. You find out that you've gained 4 pounds and lost 1/2 an inch in height. Then he ticks all the appropriate boxes for the exam report even the one where you lie a little bit.

Ever had one thooose dayz when he checks you blood pressure, heart rate and you find out your still aliveeee. This is a good thing. Ever had one thooose dayz when he asks if there is anything else then checks the liver spot on your face. He's not sure what it is. He's not sure if a cream would help. HE may have to refer you to someone. HE gets some dry ice to burn the old man thing on the other side of you head off. "This will burn a bit" he says as HE applies it to the old man growth. Burn, yes it burns like some one is hammering a hot nail into your temple.

Ever had one thooose dayz when as you are leaving He gives you your prescriptions and comments on the pending surgery. "This should give you some peace of mind having the defibulator put in, won't improve your condition but it is good for safety." You stand there a moment and discover that you have turned into one those big eyed kids in the black velvet paintings. Staring up you sputter, "But I thought if it resynchronized my ventricles it would improve my condition." He pauses for a second. "It might improve the heart function…. let's hope so."

Ever have one thooose dayz, that starts out with such promise and then you find out there is a turd in your sandwich. Ever had one thooose dayz when you drive forty minutes to pick up your prescriptions only to find they won't be ready until 3pm and it's only 10:30 in the morning? Ever had one thooose dayz when you wonder how and when you became medical experiment and if it will ever end?

Ever had one thooose dayz when you turn from you into a black velvet painting kid and want to get your hearing checked? Ever had one thooose dayz when you turn into Andy Rooney and ramble on about stuff that isn't under your control? Ever had one thooose dayz when you just have to laugh and say whatever, I guess I'll just have to deal with it?

Ever had one thooose dayz when you hope you don't drive everyone crazy talking like Andy Rooney until you go to sleep?

I do and this is one of thooose dayz.

Posting Comments & Followers

On all my blogs I have included a Follower section. Don't be afraid to become a Follower. I DO NOT SEND OUT E-MAILS TO HARASS YOU. It actually helps me see if my blogs are being used. There was a way of putting a counter on your site to record visits but I haven't been able to find a counter.

Please feel free to leave Comments and become a Follower I enjoy the input.

People have asked how to post comments on my blogs. It is quite simple really. You don't have to give any information that you want too. I have prepared an image which shows the basic steps.

A Little Discovery

Brie (my daughter) gave me an iTunes gift card, I stumbled upon a great little gem of a musician from Quebec Pascal Picard. I hope you'll enjoy this connection. Another one is Beck's latest.

It's a New Puppy

This is Mia, she a new arrival on the mountain.

Our neighbours, Jill and Simon got her Friday night.


She is a Bernese/Golden Retriever cross and is 9 weeks old. She is the cutest mellowest arrival we have had here on the mountain for at least two years.


This is Jill, the proud Momma just hours after Mia's arrival.

Jill and Simon have a beautiful male Bernese called Cody, they hope to have some puppies in a year.

Who said Dogs don't watch TV

My two friends, Molly and Brando who are generally stuck to me like glue have really gotten into TV. Not just TV but they like to Skype as well. I think it's because of the resolution available now on the screens. Over the past year they have gone from barking occasionally at movement to actually going nuts over what they see.

Last fall we replaced our dead TV with a higher resolution 42" LCD Samsung. The other thing we did was change our cable package, figuring that we were going to be stuck inside more because of my health condition. Both ideas have been good but there has been a side effect with our four legged friends.

We can't watch the Dog Whisperer, the Westminster Dog Show, anything with dogs, cats or creatures that move. Yes that includes some people, they do sit quietly while Suhana Marchand is doing the news on CBC News Network, but bark at the weather man, (with due cause) Nancy Grace and Joy Behar. I can't blame them really, maybe it's because we start barking ourselves at those two.

Recently Brie posted a great dog treat commercial on her blog. Brando and Molly went nuts and Brando tried desperately to attack the computer. I told Brie and said I would tape him next time I ran it. However I didn't realise Brando like many of us doesn't like reruns. He did not react the same during a second viewing. What was funny was he did pay attention throughout the ad and followed the dog treat through the air as it flew towards a dog mouth.

I combined some footage and came up with a Mr. Brando video.



The dogs have also reviewed 'The Hurt Locker' and agree with the academy. Molly and Brando give 'The Hurt Locker' two very big Paws UP.

Speaking of Movies

I've been trying to figure this out for a few days. Actually it crossed my mind more than a few months ago.

What's up with Hollywood? I know I sit up on a mountain but how come the best movies I've seen since last fall are animated and believe me I like to watch movies. I find the stories better, more creative, fresher and original.

The new CGI technology is amazing, the backgrounds and scenes are beautiful. They don't ever seemed to be constrained. If you can imagine it, you can create it. Some of these are for kids and some of them are too much for little kids. Some of the humour goes over small ones heads and is obviously aimed at the adult in the room.

No, I haven't seen Avatar yet, and probably won't until the 'buzz' is gone.

Here's my list of latest favourites.

Up - by Pixar/Disney http://adisney.go.com/disneyvide/animatedfilms/up/

9 - by Rob Marshall http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9_(2009_film)

Monsters vs Aliens by Dreamworks http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0892782/

Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs by Blue Sky Studios http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Age:_Dawn_of_the_Dinosaurs

Have some fun and try these movies.

Here's a Little Movie

This a little movie I did using iMovie,
on the new iMac. It's from a group of
photos I found in some old photo album.
It only took about forty minutes and
was a lot of fun.
