Crabby Blogging Lady

Saw this ad on numerous blogs recently. Apparently, it makes people into angry, rabid, roving maniacs, ready to smash their firstborn child through the TV glass to end this guy’s annoying whine and bravado.

??

I don’t get it. Why is this ad so annoying? How is this ad more annoying than other ads? I mean, sure it’s not as WONDERFULLY fascinating as those ads for quick weight loss! But… it doesn’t make me gag (haha) or wanna scream at the TV.

But I don’t have a TV. So maybe that’s the magic answer. I only have to endure this guy ONCE, and then it’s OVER. Not like you TV freaks, who watch TV ALLLLL DAY LOBG and see this guy again and again.

Score once again for throwing the boob tube outta da window! ;)

*itch itch*

I JUST passed by this store yesterday.

I noticed it was *scratch scratch* closed.

It’s in Soho, too.

*itch itch*

I stayed in Soho for a few days.

Oh Lord.

Please NO.

Teen apparel chain Abercrombie & Fitch Co has closed its Hollister store in New York City due to bedbug infestation.

The store, in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood, was closed on Wednesday, the company said. It said it was in the process of removing the bedbugs and hoped to reopen the store soon.

Abercrombie & Fitch spokesman Eric Cerny had no comment on how the store closing could affect sales and profits.

No comments, huh? Well, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out! Sales are going to TANK! Hello! Better sell the barcode scanners, this store is gonna be outta commission for a while.

YUK.

*itch itch*

I hope the “trendies” didn’t stay at the same hotel as me… I hate Abercrombie & Fitch, anyway. It’s got more problems than just bedbugs. That business is sleeeeazy.

Gee, this borders on sick or something. But it’s what governments do, I guess. Just that… they just don’t do it with gummy bears, if you get my drift.

Gummy Bear Experimental Surgeries

The sites has heart transplants, limb transplants, Lipovox injections, and other really weird stuff… But this was kinda cute.

Gee, who knows, if New York State gets its way with forcing all New Yorkers to “donate” their organs (what a farce that is!), the Joseph Geobbels and mad scientists in Albany may have something like this in our capitol coffers!

I’d rather they keep their disgusting Frankenstein creations with the gummies… and leave us real people alone. Good God, what’s our nation coming to….

This is just sick. Makes me sick! Read this article. Tell me if that phrase “government’s role in health care” gives you the shivers like it gives me the shivers.

Senate Panel Previews Electronic Health Technology

The Senate Committee on Aging last week offered a preview of the government’s future role in health care, showing how Americans will interact with doctors and other health care providers. The demonstration offers a glimpse at an overlooked effect of health care reform.

The effort, loosely called e-Health or e-Care, combines health-care technology with 21st-century Internet connectivity. It will allow doctors to interact with their patients through innovations such as video chats, telephone health checkups, and home-health monitoring devices that relay data over wireless Internet connections.

Home-health monitoring devices? Hey, I like the Internet…. it’s a great place to get information on best term life insurance quotes or whatever. But I want to be in control of me, ok?

“The development of the broadband network and health information technologies has the potential to truly transform health care and simultaneously enable better outcomes and lowering costs,” said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine).

One of the new health technologies on display last Thursday was an automatic drug dispenser that can monitor and adjust medication dosages wirelessly, allowing doctors to tailor dosages of drugs such as insulin without having to schedule in-person visits with patients.

“What we’re talking about, folks, is using a device like this one,” Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said, as he displayed the small device. “It attaches to the patient’s skin and is loaded with drugs that are administered in the exact way that the doctor prescribes – wirelessly.

“That means that a doctor can vary the doses based on the information the doctor is receiving [from the monitor]. The patient doesn’t have to go in to the doctor and then the pharmacy to change his or her prescription,” he said.

So is this the reason for the government mandate to get everyone connected with broadband??

Am I the only one really creeped out about this? The government is forcing us to have their health “care.” Then they force us to get rigged to the computers, to have drugs or whatever dispensed by SOMEONE ELSE through a WIRELESS connection. This is INSANE.

These senators act like they have a bunch of new toys to play with. Us.

What the heck ever happened to getting the government out of our bodies, huh???????? Where’s Betty Friedan and Jane Fonda now?!

Oh no! Everyone PANIC!

Potentially deadly fungus spreading in US, Canada

A potentially deadly strain of fungus is spreading among animals and people in the northwestern United States and the Canadian province of British Columbia, researchers reported on Thursday.

The airborne fungus, called Cryptococcus gattii, usually only infects transplant and AIDS patients and people with otherwise compromised immune systems, but the new strain is genetically different, the researchers said.

“This novel fungus is worrisome because it appears to be a threat to otherwise healthy people,” said Edmond Byrnes of Duke University in North Carolina, who led the study.

It’s another evil disease! We’re alllll gonnnnnaaa DIIEEEEEE unless we get a vaccine!!!!!

Seriously: according to the news “story,” 21 people in the U.S. have died. TWENTY-ONE. Now, that’s 21 too many, of course, but this makes major news?

Moreover, the new “story” severely neglects to mention how this thing spreads. I looked it up, and it spreads through inhaling the spores, the evil spores. Here are the symptoms:

a cough that lasts for weeks, sharp chest pain, shortness of breath, headache, fever, nighttime sweats and weight loss.

Holy cow, that could be ANYTHING, even diet pills side effects. I feel that way after watching Bill Maher. Sheesh.

But I guarantee that I am NEVER seriously sick. I NEVER show signs of serious sickness, and ya wanna know why? Because symptoms ALWAYS list “weight loss” as a symptom. That just NEVER happens. I may be puking away for weeks on end, but by golly I NEVER lose that blasted weight. Healthy as a horse, I am. Two of ‘em, even. :-p

Well, I took this news story with half a grain of salt:

Face of the Volcano Revealed

This impressive picture was taken with a special camera on board the Icelandic coastguard’s TF-SIF research plane. The picture shows three craters in the Eyjafjallajokull volcano. The craters are each 200 to 300 metres wide.

The picture undeniably looks like a face: some sort of monster which has broken its way out of the earth and is now spewing fire and sulphur into the atmosphere.

The chaos being wrought on European transport connections is the greatest ever during peace time.

Yeah, yeah rrrriiiight. Like spotting Elvis behind the curtain, or the Virgin Mary on the piece of toast, right?

Superstitious kooks. Betcha this will be ALL OVER George Norry’s Coast to Coast…

But then I saw the image.

Whoa. Creepy.

Yik.

Then I remembered this, a painting taken during a volcanic eruption.

Europe will be having some pretty funky weather patterns this year, won’t they? Good thing about funky weather– it rarely lasts long. Ah, but “global warming” legislation is forever…
