Repeat of a conversation...

On Monday, after the greatest football team in the world did it AGAIN, my darling daughter wore her Steelers jersey to school in celebration. At PE, the following conversation took place"
Coach (a man, of course): Are you wearing that because the Steelers won last night?
Cee: No, I'm wearing it because the Steelers won for the SIXth time, last night.
Coach: Bet you don't even know who the quarterback is.
Cee(turns around and points at her back): Big Ben (I don't know if that's what everyone calls him, but that is our nickname) and I know who Palamalu is too.
Coach: Who's the Steelers' play last night?
Cee: Some bird team, but does it matter?

I can just envision the body language going on here. Cee is almost 5 feet tall but weighs less than 80 pounds, the coach is about 6 feet tall.
I would like to say that he is really a nice guy but this ain't the heart of Steelers country here. Its all Oklahoma and Texas college football. There was literally no football decorations available. I would say that most people were rooting for that bird team anyways.

What do you expect down here in the middle of steer country?

MIA

Ok, I have been totally MIA. I have all sorts of reasons for this but don't want to bore anyone....
All I want to say is, When the doctor says that there are no withdrawl symptoms when you stop taking this medicine. Shoot him. No, seriously, shoot him a dirty look and do your own research. Spent the last 3 weeks in hell because, yes, some people do experience SIGNIFICANT symptoms and no, the FDA does not have a warning about this drug.
The worst thing was the vertigo/motion sickness. This was brought on by just about anything including but not limited to:getting out of bed, opening your eyes, more than 2 minutes on the computer, watching TV, driving, riding in a vehicle, bending, moving..... YA GET THE PICTURE?
So, saw said Doc on Tues. and he didn't believe me about this but gave me pills to shut me up... Pills worked, placebo effect, you say? Do I care why they worked? No....just that I am able to function in my somewhat normal way.
Anyways, in other health news, the sleep study was done last week and found that I have severe obsturctive sleep apnea. Sound horrible doesn't it? I couldn't be more thrilled. Now I know why I am tired and there is a way to fix it! I get fitted for my breathing machine today and tonight will try to sleep at least 2 hours with it on. I might even be sorta rested tomorrow when I go and get professional help for my state taxes.
I was able to figure and file my federal return (with the help of some software) but this state is whacked. I need help to figure out that I don't need to pay because I took a loss on my business......
Speaking of business.....I am attempting to get it up and running and I have created a blog (with no posts yet) but intend to get busy with it now that I am feeling better.......

Just have to say one thing...........


GO STEELERS!!!!!
