Geeze! I'm liked! I really ARE liked!!!!
Now if only I could get someone to add a "c", as in (I before "c", except after "p", etc.) I'd oh so much happier!
Then again, I get licked every day. I gots 4 dogs if anyone's counting.. and no, my wife is not one of 'em!
Hmmm. that's funny! I just got up to get me a glass of water and Bubba (the 3/4 Pitbull - 1/4 Golden Retriever) was laying down outside of the room and I bent down to pet his belly and talked at him.... what? I'm the only guy that talks to his pets? OK, they all talk back in their own voices... we have a Schnauzer whom my Daughter, Alisha, named Lucky, but he's such a little guy with a major attitude, I call him "Hitler". Then he calls me "A stinking Jew" and threatens to make a lamp shade out of my back!
Weird stuff, really. But living for 7 years on my own with 3 dogs taught me to have conversations with animals.
Anyhow, was rubbing Bubbah's belly, talking to him, and he stuck his tounge in my mouth.
So let's just forget the whole "licking" thing, ok?
Oh yeah, I haven't posted any pics in a while, so if you'll forgive me, I'll show ya some new ink I got:
This here's a pic of my
Tazmanian Marine
I had to spice two pics together since the tat is sorta wrapped around my elbow.
SPECIAL KNIFE CONTENT FOLLOWS!!
Ya might not notice it, but he's carrying a full size M-16 with the
NEW Ka-Bar bayonet Pic borrowed by 1SKS, where I bought it at more than fair price!
Thanks Kevin!!!
Anyhow, the way I got the realism I wanted was to bring in my AR-15 w/ bayonet attached into the tattoo place.
Since my daughter works there and has told the staff repeatedly x150, that I might look crazy, but that I'm really a nice guy", so the artist didn't bat an eye when I walked into the shop with this Weapon of Minor Destruction.
Then another tat I just had done after my last post (The 3rd and possibly final finished is
Raising the Colors at Ground Zero . That pic was taken about an hour after the job was done, so the details on the firefighters faces will eventually clean up.
And BOY HOWDY! Gettin' ink on your lower back hurts!
YOWZAH!!
Anyhoo, if anyone cares to see most of my other tats, their at
http://www.vampiregerbil.com/tattoos/index.html .
OK, so what was my point here?
Oh yeah, now I gotta thank everyone or return their comment, etc., in order, of course:
knzn said Been missing ya bud. Keep on keeping on.
I sayThanks, KNZN!! I been missing everyone around here too! So I'm just falling apart... the good thing is that when we moved to Nevada 5 years ago, I weighed over 30 pounds. I went to the doc yesterday and now I weight 211 pounds. OK, I realize I ain't quite a pixie yet, but my blood pressure was 120/70 (standard for me before seeing this doc was always 130/100.
My heart rate was 80... Always it was 100, for as long as I can remember.
He'd taken blood outta me the last 4 months and all the results at first were bad, but yesterday he said that they were all normal!
OK, so now I still got the arthritis ( the gout thing turned out to be more arthritis picking a new place to show me who's boss) I still have that degenerative disc disease, and yesterday I went to the doc cause my right shoulder hurt when I tried reaching over my head, any kind of stretching, whatever.
So he gave me a choice of a prescription that would start working in a few days or he could give me several PAINFUL injections into the site.
You EVER hear a doctor say a shot was gonna be painful? Me neither, so I knew it was gonna be bad. About 6 weeks ago, I had the worst headache I had ever had. On a scale of 1-10, this was a true 10. I thought I was gonna have a stroke or something, so I called for an ambulance. When I finally got to the ER after waiting for like an hour, they gave me morphine. 5 injections, and it brought the pain level to an eight.
I told 'em to try something else, cuz I showed the nurse how lucid I was with 25 milligrams of morphine in me. So they gave me something I never heard of and I was admitted to the hopsicle, being told I would need a spinal tap in the morning.
I actually almost balled my eyes out since I had heard how painful those things were. So they hooked me up with the new pain med which I could get, IV, every two hours.
Then the next morning I was feeling better, but I knew I needed to have the spinal tap just the same.
So I got wheeled down to the hospittall's
Room of Deadly Torture and Horror and got into position, gritted my teeth, lied, saying I was ready and in comes the fist needle. Well, the
couldn't get any fluid, so they tried another spot, no luck either.
Remember how I was so upset about having
ONE Spinal tap? Yeah, right, ONE!
They gave me 6, one right after the other and I damned near passed out!
So then I was informed that they'd try again later by a specialist who'd put dye in me first, then watch where the needle would go on TV.
"OK", thought I, "With all that jibber-jabber, he'd just give me one more time and I'd be all done.
Yeah, and Santa Clause visits me every July 27th to read me a chapter from a Stephen King novel!
So this guy inject, same place as before, I'm swearing, in tears, and he keeps jabbing me. After 5 times I told him I was done for the day, thank you and never cast your shadow anywhere near me again!
Bottom line was that I had 11 Spinal taps in one day. But now I could get a shot from them for pain, and back at the room, silly, forgetful me that I am, I asked for a pain shot, pease. So I got a double and fell asleep, like a 200+ pound baby with what felt to be a gigantical head and a back that had taken a few bullets
But alot of things are better now, so I'll try to keep the whining down for the rest of this response. But first I shall go to our Annual Harvest Feast and buy me some beef ribs. These are the real deal, like from the Mississippi Delta... you know, where they put the BBQ sauce on with a mop?
I'm gonna give 'em $50 and use it up, please.
Then Ill floss for about 3 hours and come back with another $50.
So I'll be right back after aquiring these things, ok?
Thanks.
Buh Bye for now
Digestingly yours,
Vampire Gerbil, a/k/a Queen of the Nubian Warriors!
