ow! shoulda used nipguards!http://www.nipguards.com/

All silly pictures aside, this isn’t a joke. NipGuards, LLC manufactures and sells a patented product that prevents nipple chafing and abrasion.

a testimonial – Recently when I ran a road race, I too became a victim. A victim of nipple abrasion. It was about half way through the race that I noticed my nipples becoming tender. When I checked them out at the end of the race, I saw that they had been rubbed raw. So raw that they were bleeding. Can you imagine the embarrassment and ridicule I endured? It was horrible. Now that I have my Nipguards, I can now concentrate on my running, not my bleading nips, and give 100% everytime. It is because of Nipguards that I can now stay in shape and keep on runnin’. Thanks Nipguards!

I want a buttered muffin, a carafe of OJ, and a back rub.

instead, a protein bar, water and petting Newt will do.

I’m fiddling with my homepage. I wanted to make it as omni-browser safe as possible. That may not be probable.

Netscape people – I’m tired of doing loads of extra coding because your crap little browser does not conform to the set of published standards. So there. I am not a Microsoft fanboy, but I do believe they have the best browser.

Just to help anyone to understand the pain in the butt that Netscape is: I’ve made this nice little DHTML thing that lets you select a picture from a drop down menu and then changes the picture and the caption underneath. It works like a baboon on acid in IE, but of course, NS chokes and dies when this is in fact all pretty standard stuff.

I’ve seen and tested Netscape 6.1, and the little SOB still won’t show the pics.

What happened? Netscape used to be the cutting-edge one. I hate Bill Gates as much as the next guy, but the product is superior.

I really dislike making something that one group is left out on, but I don’t know… maybe it’s time to say “sorry guys, what you get is what you have, if you had the better *just as free* browser, instead. not safe for five browsers, just good for lynx level text only, and the whee-fun msie with flash and DHTML schtuff.

made lots of fun flash thingies, but nothing final..little popboopdingthings. more learning procedures. amazing, versatile and simple language.

So, anyway… where’s my sweetie? I think she went back to bed and closed the lid tight, like Tupperware. (No wonder she’s so young looking!) 😉 My little Moonflower seems to be extra sleepy lately…well, I’ll just think good thoughts for sleeping beauty and bounce from writing to code to reading by her side until she gets up. Hopefully she’ll wake long enough for us to watch mad tv or snl tonight.

I need to give myself a writing project. a fresh genre, maybe. Mystery? Western? Romance? A silly, light comic-booky story?

I dunno…

Landlord left. He’ll be back tomorrow to put insulation and patch drywall.

Carman quit yesterday (with good reason) , and that probably means Karen won’t be far behind. It’s too bad, but probably couldn’t be avoided. A shame though, because they’re both good people, good workers, and people I could see being work-buddies with. They’ll still be pals, but I won’t see as many happy, pleasant faces.

Maybe something about work?

There is a pain pressing in my left eye like a white hot needle pushing into the back of my skull.

I am unable to sleep, and it hurts badly enough that it’s upsetting my stomach, as well.

A hot shower has not helped, and I fear it’s only getting worse. Possibly a migraine, but those usually effect the crown of my head.

I am *very* tired, but this is keeping me awake, hurts too much. I’m out of pain medicine, as I threw away my percocet, because it had expired, and I’ve not refilled the prescription. I’m out of alieve. There’s not even any booze in the house to take the edge off. I’m going to call a cab, and go to Walgreens for some sort of treatment.

Did laundry today, again at the Mat-o-confrontation. 🙂

The dryer 3 over from mine was broken, and somebody’s sheets and aprons caught fire… I don’t know if it was because of the dryer, or something rubber or plastic in there, but when they opened the thing up, the onrush of air ignited the hot things in there, filling the whole ‘mat with smoke. Fortunately I had already folded my clothes and was waiting out front for my ride.

For dinner… I’m making scrambled cheese-eggs, toast, and veggie links. Ketchup will be involved.

My sweetie is out and about tonight, but should be back at a reasonable hour…I hope she’s doing ok, with her ickie sickies out in the cold.

Hmm… shall I read as I eat? or be lazy and do the simpler tv?

Even Gary looks sad to me. I hope she’s ok… I’m assuming she’s off reading, doing chores or working on something else, and just forgot that she’d said that she would be “back in a sec”.

I’m feeling a little sad today. Things aren’t clicking the way they should, and it’s depressing me.

{update} She got sick! 🙁 poor thing had a worse day than me… I *knew* something was up. stupid me for whining about little things.

I'm feeling better.

Feeling better… took some comfort in giving Newtie some loving, and am now officially lightened up. it only took about 2 hours for the feeling to wash totally over me, peak, and now, begin to abate. I’m looking forward to spending some time with my brother later this week, and maybe we can spend some good quality gabbing together.

I’m looking forward to watching COPS tonight with my sweetie.

Minty

Tonight’s dinner –

Fresh squeezed lemonade, red beans and rice, cornbread (low fat – sweet, made with applesauce) and greens with basalmic dressing.

(or, if you’re Newt, 37 pieces of kibble)

Pretty carby, but I’m craving comfort food that’s easy to make.

What I’d *really*like is some vegetarian shepherds pie, and a cold beer, but one works with the ingredients at hand. (plus, SP takes me an hour to make…it’s worth it, I can eat off of it for a week.. but I’m Scotto the lazyman tonight.)
