Yesterday a man went berserk....what a great word, ber-serk. I always pronounce it bizz-erk....in a local Starbucks. He locked himself in the bathroom and began pounding on the door and walls. An employee evacuated the store and called police. At that point he came out of the bathroom, threw the contents of both cash registers on the floor, and started throwing furniture at the windows.
He was eventually subdued and arrested for felony vandalism and assaulting a police officer. A little too much caffeine per chance?
Speaking of caffeine, I have a new espresso machine. It's a Starbucks Barista that Jennifer wasn't using. I just made my fourth latte and am getting the hang of it. It's easy to use and in case I forget something I can refer to the TWO PART 15 MINUTE LONG HOW TO VIDEO on You Tube. I learned how to drive a car in less time than I've spent on this. It's no wonder people are happy with the K-cup brewers.
Starbucks has a Verismo machine that uses both coffee and milk pods. It's fast and easy to use but the pods are $1 each. You can save a few bucks buying bulk at Costco, more packing your own pods, which defeats the whole purpose of them. Another issue for me are the condensed milk pods the machine uses. The reviews have been mixed.
Don't get me wrong, I am happy with the new machine. I'm drinking a latte right now and it's pretty damn good. With more time and practice I know I'll cut my brewing time at least in half, thirty minutes I'd say. A good cup of coffee is certainly worth the wait.
Have you ever wondered how college athletes do all that practicing, and playing, and camera mugging, and still find time for school? Years ago I came to the conclusion they don't. I'm not judging here and frankly, I don't care. But when I read a star football player is "taking four online classes in sports management" I wonder why they even bother.
Here is an expression that makes my skin crawl...."Baby Bump." When did this become the standard description of a pregnant woman's abdominal area? And, why is it necessary for her to show it off? "The 31-year-old royal showed off her growing baby bump Tuesday in London." People really care about this? Oh, and by the way, the royal couple (Kate and Prince William) are on vacation. The approximate cost of their villa is $30,000 a week. It's good to be the Duke of Cambridge.
I think about the blog every day I write. Can I find anything of interest? Are people going to enjoy it? Will you be entertained? Is this overstating the obvious? "Don't sell a smelly house." Really? I didn't know that. I thought people enjoyed a nice pet urine soaked, cigar and cigarette smoke encrusted house.
But this, I sarcastically write, takes the cake for great suggestions.
One more tip: If someone suffers a long illness or dies in a home, a good airing may be adequate to remove any odors. In the case of a violent death, however, professionals who handle what's known as "trauma cleanup" should be called to do the job. The cost could be $1,000 or more depending on the type of remediation and the square footage.
It's not like buying glass cleaner in a store and cleaning your windows. If you have that type of situation, it's probably best to call a professional. It may be traumatic for you to do it yourself.
So, Aunt Freida and Uncle Willy finally decided to take a permanent vacation and blew their brains out with a shotgun. And you without the glass cleaner. Oh ho, better call the professionals.
How lucky can you get? If after a long and lingering illness your loved one was considerate enough to die in spring, change the sheets and open the windows. Everyone loves the smell of fresh cut grass, flowers, and fresh air.
What's a guy to do?
A 44-year-man in the UK sued his ex wife for deceit. Divorced in 2004 he began paying child support but heard whisperings the kids weren't his. In 2008 he requested DNA tests on the children. The teenage girl had one father and the boy another and he wasn't either of them. He was awarded close to $50,000, just about what he paid in child support. Now he's the bad guy in all of this. The ex-wife told the children this was "all his fault" for ordering the tests and filing the lawsuit. This woman's got some balls.
From an e-mail friend Avie sent:
Men Are Just Happier People, because:
Your last name stays put.
Chocolate is just another snack.
You can never be pregnant.
You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park.
You can wear NO shirt to a water park.
The world is your urinal.
You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because
this one is just too icky.
Wrinkles add character.
New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.
Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack.
Three pairs of shoes are more than enough.
You almost never have strap problems in public.
You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.
Everything on your face stays its original color.
The same hairstyle lasts for years, even decades.
You only have to shave your face and neck.
One wallet and one pair of shoes--one color for all seasons.
You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look.
You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife.
You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.
You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in
25 minutes.
While I don't agree with all of these I do like the bathroom humor.
