McDonalds

So Every time i eat at McDonalds, i swear it will be the last time. However, every time I feel hung over or just not right, i eat there and I start feeling better. Then I start thinking about what I just ate and my stomach starts getting a little upset again. I'm not sure what McD's puts in their grease, but my stomach seems to like it, and then hate it.
So I went to the McD's website today to hav a look at the "nutritional" facts. I was astounded. I knew stuff wasn't very good for you, but it was worse than I thought!

Here is the break down:




Its good to know that I got 137% of my cholesterol and 75% of my Saturated fat intake for the day. Those two are the hardest to obtain!

WOW!

Why I'm a nerd

I'm working from home today and I'm working on my work laptop while I play music from my home computer. Instead of having to get up and walk 10 feet to skip songs I don't like, I just remoted into my home computer and I'm changing songs from the comfort of my work laptop.
Why walk when you can sit? :)

I hate heat

Ug. The weather here has turned from spring to summer in a hurry and I don't like it one bit. As I've always said "You can always put more clothes on, but you can only take off so much before you get arrested!"

Does this make any sense?

So I'm watching a show on the Travel Channel about hambugers and the owner says this: "When a customer walks in the door, we always say hello to them so that they know that they aren't like everyone else."
While I understand what the true meaning was, what was actually said makes no sense. If you do in fact say 'Hello' to everyone that comes in, then you ARE treating each and every customer like each and every other customer. Therefore, you ARE like everyone else.
Its a bit like the transitive property.

Random Thought

Why do dogs eat their own puke? I mean, there is a reason you puked it up in the first place!

Doggie Puke

Last night our dog Jake decided to spice up the lives of my wife and I. He sneaked into the bathroom and stole an "undergarment" and was running around with it. I have to admit that it was pretty funny until he decided that he was a big hungry and swallowed it whole. Seriously, it took about 2 seconds and it disappeared.
Initially I wasn't sure if i should laugh at him swallowing underwear or be worried about the repercussions in the digestive track. We did some quick research and found out that inducing vomiting in dogs is relatively easy.
Step 1: Fill squirt bottle w/ 1/4 cup of peroxide
Step 2: Bring dog into bathroom and pick up any items on the floor you don't want doggie puke on
Step 3: Hold up your dog's mouth and squirt the peroxide into his mouth so he swallows it
Step 4: Wait about 3 minutes
Step 5: Dog pukes
Step 6: Grab the swallowed object off of the floor as soon as you see it so your dog doesn't try to eat it again.

It most definitely seemed mean to induce vomiting in our dog, but the alternative of having to possibly take him to the vet for an operation for bowel obstruction seemed much worse. And Jake is no worse for the wear the next morning.
Needless to say, Jake will not be allowed to run around with a piece of clothing any smaller than a pair of coveralls. :)
