Still Oinking without the Swine Flu.

I didn’t lose any weight this week, which means I’m a svelte 288lbs.

….Hey…..“check in next Monday as I weigh in at the same weight again.

“I’ll start again tomorrow…”

I think I’m going to put up a page with dieting “cliches.”  God knows there are a million of them.

Since I have enjoyed venting about various things in the news lately, why should tonight be any different?

Last thoughts on Swine Flu…


Some Tampa schools are closed this week because of the infamous Swine Flu and I’m starting to think that the dumbing of Civilization is really rearing its ugly head these days.

Do you realize that closing only a few ‘random public” schools really defeats the purpose “closing to not spread the flu?” Many schools are only a couple of miles apart, which leaves many same aged kids from different public schools hanging  out together anyways. Is this really going to stop the spread if school A is off during the day, but school B isn’t, especially when students from A & B are hanging out together after school hours?  IT MAKES NO SENSE!! Either close all county schools or don’t close any!  THIS FLU PARANOIA IS REALLY BEGINNING TO IRRITATE ME!!

I also saw today how a United passenger was kicked of a plane because of a “runny nose.”  God forbid you sneeze any more!!  Remember when a sneeze was just an innoculous reaction to something and not the spreading of the GREAT PLAGUE?

Now…in United’s defense, they did later give this sniffle snafu a happy ending. They sent the contagious cold-bearer and his tissue on another flight home in 1st class.  Obviously, this was ridiculous and some morons had the power to kick off the nose blower when they clearly shouldn’t have.  Either way, it doesn’t change the fact that a random 10% of public schools are closed in my county and a man was booted off of a flight for sniffling.  ..
