Jumping through hoops

This has been ten days of jumping through hoops for rampant idiocy. Raise your glasses. A toast to you all!


To nurses and major chain pharmacies who do not have on record the pain medication they prescribed even though you are holding the prescription bottle in your hot little hand.

To medical personnel who argue with you about how you are feeling.

To office assistants who do not give messages to the doctor.

To doctors who do not call with x-ray results. If they are clear, then why the throbbing pain?

To technicians who tell you dialysis went well and the next day getting a call that there IS a problem.

To more nurses who tell you, 'you’re not on the surgical procedure list' even though your Doctor told you to report to the hospital.

To ‘Breakstone’s Cottage Doubles’ for making it a single and forgetting to put the apple-cinnamon fruit in the container.

To Joe Borowski --what is there to say? You should have told Wedge and the gang you weren’t yourself before making the team hydroplane out of control.

To CC Sabathia --we’re glad you snapped out of it!

To LeBron James --the Alaskan folks are disappointed they could not spend time with you...at least they did not see you lose to the Wizards by 30+ in person.

To contractors who do a good job yet break the sink plug and forget to put the banister back up.

To folks who ‘think’ they can sing, but they can’t. To other folks who compliment the people who ‘think’ they can sing when they shouldn’t.

To folks using ‘things’ and not putting them back where they belong.

To those who think I love cleaning up caked-on cheese and egg in the sink.

To employees from all walks of life in every profession who do not 'appear' to do their job and may even get high praise for 'not' doing their job yet never 'appear' to get reprimanded--you know who you are!!!!!!

To those out there who use crude language, offensive gestures, tell off-color jokes, swear, and use pugnacious tones without giving it a second thought....oblivious of how offensive and hurtful.

To starting world war three for nicely asking a co-worker to try to get to work on time.

To the topsy turvy world we live in where someone can actually fabricate a story, blind everyone by young and innocent 'calculating' sweet talk, unjustly accuse the innocent, and get away with it...because it’s a world gone mad. Oh the beauty of it all! Hopefully, the strong will survive and will get the last laugh all the way to the bank…..Cha-Ching!


Well, if this week has not jaded us, nothing will. And IT HAS NOT!! Because frankly, I LOVE and am IN LOVE with life. I am still alive. Mother is still alive. It is Spring. It was 84 degrees today! Baseball Season is back. The Indians beat the Yankees. The Cavs are still in this thing. I fit into my old jeans. I have good friends. The Pope visited the US. And if I can’t count on anyone or anything else, I can always count on God, my religion and myself! Cheers!
