Fainting Goats


I guess this is no good when you are being chased by a predator!

In 1994 a group of doctors at Chenglepattu Medical College Hospital, India lost a pair of 7 inch long scissors while removing a tumor from a 33 year old woman. The doctors must frequently lose medical instruments, because they didn't seem to notice the missing tools. When Ms. Sigamani began complaining about abdominal pain after the procedure, the doctors figured that it was probably just run of the mill post-surgery blues and suggested she take pain killers.

Twelve years later the independent investigators believe they may have solved the mystery of the phantom pain and the lost scissors when they suggested that Sigamani have an X-ray.

The hospital denies having any medical records pertaining to the now-12 year old surgery, and has not asked for the scissors back.

Paige

So, I'm getting Paige ready for bed tonight when she decides (like every night) that she has to pee, NOW. She wanders off to the bathroom naked and sits on the "big girl potty"

"Daddy, I don't need the Dora seat anymore, because I just hold on now - like at school."

She finishes peeing, and leans down to pull up her pants which aren't there.

She looks up at me and giggles "I'm having a rough day."

Kidney Cancer

My sister goes in tomorrow for surgery to take out a cancerous tumor from her kidney. The doctor isn't sure if he will be able to just take a small piece of it or will need to remove the entire organ. Keep her in your prayers for tomorrow.

She was in great spirits when we visited today and gave me this bracelet to wear in support of the Kidney Cancer Association.

This is a Goldfinch. This is a tree in my office. This is a Goldfinch in the tree in my office.

At least our priorities are in order

Exxon Reports an $80,000 profit every second

Yes, ExxonMobile earned over $10,490,000,000 in profit last quarter.

That's $806,923,077 per week
That's $115,274,725 per day
That's $4,803,114 per hour
That's $80,052 per second

IN PROFIT!

They are whores. They should be returning this to the consumer at the pump, not pocketing it. Listen, I am a business man - and everyone deserves a profit - but at what cost? At whose cost?

Give some back, Exxon - show that you care about the people, even if it's just a little.

Kissing test: Would you be willing to do this?

Looking for a little something different for that Jack-o-lantern this year?

The Pumpkin Glow web site offers a couple dozen non-traditional pumpkin-carving patterns.

Download a PDF of a cartoon, comedian, celebrity or patriotic carving patterns to make your jack-o-lantern stand out from the crowd (Jay Leno pictured). Some of these patterns require a bit more carving skill than others, but the expertise level is conveniently noted inside the PDF. Got any pumpkin carving tips for those of us who are all thumbs? Post 'em up in the comments. — Gina Trapani

Since my FujiFilm digital passed away last weekend, I took a trip to the camera store and got myself a brandy new Olympus EVOLT E-500, I got one heck of a deal and I am so excited about the quality of the pictures. Click on the link below or the photo to see an album taken by the new machine.
