A real-time account of life among the Earthlings…

Standard Crap

by Slack, on May 3rd, 2004

So where are we now? Things in our neck of the woods are pretty much the same. Rhys smiled for the first time yesterday! I was at work when it happened. But, I’ve seen a picture of him smiling before, you wonder? Well, this was the first (we suspect) smile which was not gas induced. :) So, that’s the real big news. Also, he’s back on track with weight gain. He was having some issues for awhile there. He’s sitting at 8 lbs 7 ozs.

Other than that, the only real news to report is I will be making another quit attempt on Wednesday. Wish me luck on that one. One of the major incentives this time around was when I got life insurance. The price difference is insane! Damn smokes!!! Getting life insurance was also the first step towards getting a bike!!! Yippieee!! Hopefully soon I’ll be on two wheels again! I’m dying to get back on the saddle! Oh, and I bought a bit of stock in a canadian diamond mine. I hope it does something good for me!!! :)

Take care out there! Oh, and here’s a picture of a product I found in the grocery store… Yet another example of poor product ideas. :) It speaks for itself… View image.

Shawn says:

HA HA HA!! They look like smiling condoms!! Thanx for the laugh, helped to break up my workday a bit.

I’m so glad to hear that Rhys is doing so well.

Have a good day and tell Heidi hi!

Hi Allen,
Happy Birtday!!! I didn’t know it was yer B-Day until I read the comments section. It’s good to see that things are going well for Rhys and that you and Heidi are getting back to a more normal life. I enjoy reading along and following your adventures and observations. Keep it goin’ and give up those smokes!!!
Best Wishes and good luck in all things.

Shawn,

It’s amazing what some people will market… Not to mention how amazing it is what some people will buy for their kids!! :) lol

Slack says:

Thanks for the birthday wishes, guys! I’ve actually got one pack of smokes left, and once they are done, they are done! :)
