Traveling Around

Well, I consulted with my doctor today, and he gave me the news that I suffer from a disease called IED. I now realize I have had this disease for several years. The disorder is more common than thought.

‘Road rage’ gets a medical diagnosis
‘Intermittent explosive disorder’ affects millions in the U.S., survey finds


To you, that angry, horn-blasting tailgater is suffering from road rage. But doctors have another name for it — intermittent explosive disorder — and a new study suggests it is far more common than they realized, affecting up to 16 million Americans.

I am really shaken up now. I thought it was just the stupid drivers in Las Vegas, not a disease causing my outbursts!!!!!!





Speaking of driving down the highways and byways. In New York the drivers there were treated to:

Flaming toilet paper spill clogs New York highway, backs up traffic for miles

Crews on the New York State Thruway spent hours cleaning up the mess caused when a truck full of toilet paper caught fire Monday.

Squeeze the Charmin, don't burn the Charmin!!!!!!!





Rogue vet debarks neighbor's puppy
Vet says he thought dog was a stray when he altered vocal cords

MUSKOGEE, Okla - James Risch, the veterinarian, said he performed the procedures after he found the puppy barking on his porch and thought it was a stray. "He maimed my puppy," Nancy Miller wrote. She claims he took the dog from her fenced yard. He denies this.

He said he gave the puppy vaccinations, bathed it, treated it for ear mites, neutered it, and performed a "simple procedure that reduces the volume of the bark, but does not inhibit the dog's ability to bark."

My suggestion would be to give him vaccinations, a bath, treat him for ear mites, perform a "simple procedure that reduces the volume of his voice" and, of course, most importantly, neuter him.





And God said: Try staying out of the lion’s den
Lioness in Ukrainian zoo kills man who drops in invoking deity’s protection

KIEV, Ukraine - A man shouting that God would keep him safe was mauled to death by a lioness in the Kiev zoo after he crept into the animal's enclosure, a zoo official said Monday.

“The man shouted, ‘God will save me, if he exists,’ lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions,” the official said. “A lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery.”

1st - This idiot must not have heard the story about Roy Horn being mauled by his own tiger.

2nd - God was so stunned as to how stupid this guy was he didn't have time to save him.

3rd - God had just said it's time to feed the lions.

The good news is the guy took off his shoes. Had the lion eaten those, he might have gotten indigestion.






Is it The Body of Jimmy Hoffa?

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla - Teacher Sue Messenger had been creating mock crime scenes with fake skeletons and other evidence for more than 20 years to give students in her forensics courses a firsthand look at what crime scene investigators do. On Monday, however, 29 students from St. Thomas Aquinas High School discovered a real body.

The FBI halted the rebuilding of the barn on the Hidden Dreams Farm in Milford Township, about 30 miles northwest of Detroit to investigate the crime scene. They later determined it was not Jimmy Hoffa after which they returned to rebuild the barn they destroyed looking for Hoffa!! I hope they investigated the real body and not a dummy!!!!!






Another Florida story

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. A 6-year-old boy was accidentally left behind by his family after they celebrated his birthday at a restaurant.

Michael James Emanuel Jr.'s family said they accidentally left him Saturday night and didn't notice he was missing until the next day. There were 12 kids at the party at a Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant, and as they all piled into cars to leave, the boy was simply overlooked.

Wow! Most kids get presents and have a great party especially at Chuck E. Cheese. I know when my kids got a party and gifts they talked about it all the way home. I guess the parents just figured he was asleep in the car and didn't look in the car for him until the next day!!!!!!!!!!!!






This couple didn't even make it to the altar.

Bail conditions put wedding on hold after Colorado bride and groom brawl

Ali Aghili, 37, and Marney Hurst, 33, both of Boulder, were to be married Saturday night. Instead, they got into a fight the night before and police arrested them because both allegedly threw punches.

Aren't the bride and groom not supposed to see each other the day before the wedding which might have been a good idea? I also thought you served punch rather than throwing punch.




Man rescued after being stuck in Tennessee riverbank for more than a day

MEMPHIS, Tenn - A man stuck up to his waist in a muddy riverbank for more than a day was rescued Monday. Anthony Hawkes was hunting squirrels along the banks of Loosahatchie River north of Memphis on Sunday when he got stuck.

Bubba (Anthony) said he had been stuck for 24 hors n he just wonted to get dem squirrels home cookn in dat der pot!!







Finally a Judge with some sense

Judge: With shellfish, expect shells
Jurist throws out suit against restaurant, says woman should have known

That was the ruling from a Long Island judge, who recently dismissed a claim by a woman who sued a restaurant for $750,000 after choking on a piece of mussel shell.

State Judge John Galasso said Slaymaker should have had a "reasonable expectation" that a dish containing mussels could have shells in it.

One could only wonder why this judge didn't get the case where the woman sued McDonalds because their coffee was hot. It would be a reasonable expectation that the coffee would be hot.

I like the way this judge thinks. Too bad more judges aren't that smart!!!!


So it goes in this crazy world. Stay in touch and stay tuned.
