The new couch may be more comfier than the bed ;)

Now if Carrie ever asks me to sleep on the couch I might take her up on it. She got the full amount for her tax return in only a matter of hours from sending it in. So we are happy that we will be getting some nice new furniture for the living room. I was cautious about the color at first, but with the warranty and stainguards that's all covered, the stuff should be here by the 24th.

Tomorrow the kids and I are going swimming at a health club, that should be pleasant, my nice white hairy body glistening in doors in February.

Last night I did not get much sleep, it was one of those nights where it felt like information was being downloaded into my head, on top of that I sware it felt like someone else was in the room, a female entity. There was a smell of perfume that was quite strong, and it is not noticeable now or when I went to bed. So I wonder who it was. About a week ago I had similar thing happen except I was hearing strange tones and music coming out of nowhere.

I just read that Grandpa Munster passed away at 95, wow. He looked old when I was a kid, and he was doing a radio show up until the very end.

I found this list of things on my brother's old hard drive. I thought it was good, so posting it here.

Well hope everyone has a nice super-bowl day tomorrow, I can't stand sports so I won't be joining you in all that hooplah.

NINETEEN THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME 30 YEARS TO LEARN

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."

3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

5. And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.

6. You should not confuse your career with your life.

7. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.

8. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy.

9. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

10. Never lick a steak knife.

11. Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie.

12. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

13. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

14. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

15. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.

16. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

17. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them.

18. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

19. Your friends love you anyway.

Tax Return Season

Carrie and I are looking forward to what we hope she will get a nice tax return this year. We have plans for some new furniture which we need badly, our couch looks like hell. She also wants to get me my own used car so I'll be able to travel around and visit friends I don't have or go to school while she has the other one.

We have not started directly into deep tissue massage yet, it seems it keeps getting put off, but we get more practice at Swedish. I got probably the best back massage I've ever had today, thanks to Alli ;) I told her I was going to throw her into the trunk of my car, and she could live in my closest, and she could massage me for food.

Yet I still got a killer headache after class so I must still have something out of whack or bad body mechanics. I really hope I figure that out soon. If we get a decent refund maybe Carrie will let me get a chiropractic adjustment.

I don't have much else to write at the moment and I think Carrie is waiting for a massage, so I'll leave with these 'fun fact's she forwarded to me.

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
(Hardly seems worth it.)

If you passed gas consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produ ced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
(Now that's more like it!)

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.
(O.M.G.!)

A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.
(In my next life, I want to be a pig.)

A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.)
(I'm still not over the pig.)

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories a hour
(Don't try this at home,maybe at work)

The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.
("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!")

The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.
(30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?)

The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.
(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond? )

Some lions ma te over 50 times a day.
(I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity)

Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Something I always wanted to know.)

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.
(Hmmmmmm......)

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.
(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)

Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.
(okay, so that would be a good thing)

A cat's urine glows under a black light.
(I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
( I know some people like that.)

Starfish have no brains
(I know some people like that too.)

Polar bears are left-handed.
(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer)

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
(What about that pig??)

Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread these crazy facts and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)...In other words, send it to everyone.
