ENVIRO.....MENTAL!

The blog following is for the author of "these come from trees"
I admire and respect the people who live their lives with a cause, but I cannot stand a f@#king hippie. an uneducated green warrior inspired by a moment of clarity in a franchise store decides to save the trees after watching a few people in bathrooms wash their hands.......creepy
So eco super hero I offer you this.
Virtually all pulp wood is grown exclusively for the purpose of making paper, it has been at least twenty yrs since an old growth fir gave its life for someone to wipe their ass. Plum Creek timber co. Boise Cascade and midland Paper all manage over a million acres of hybrid tree farms ( super trees that grow 6-12 ft a year) in locations trees have never existed ( Columbia basin, eastern Oregon, southern Idaho) Old growth timber is logged, sold in log form to the Japanese they turn some of it into lumber, and some they sink in giant lakes to use 100 yrs from now. The wood you buy in the states mostly comes from Canada because it is cheaper to produce there. Deforestation is a problem only in south America, and it is a huge one. That wood ( rose wood, zebra wood, and several kinds of oak) goes to making floors and furniture for uneducated people in the bay area like you. Who are willing to kill the world for style, but not clean hands. The timber industry keeps billions of acres of wild areas in a natural form, allowing citizens access to them with few rules. As a rule most wildlife flourishes in 3-15 yr old logged areas, with a few birds and 1 or 2 mammals suffering.....you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet. So next time you see some jerk sitting in a Bombay company executives chair.....yell at him, treat him like a smoker, push him on the ground and kick him. But leave the rest of us alone.....after all we are only trying to keep our butts clean.

There Back!!!!!!!!

WHOOOOO HOOOOOO!
I dont know how old you are, but if you are 35 like me you probably remember the red and white striped bottles of POP SHOPPE soda. They went under in 1983.... but by the will of God a man Named Brian Alger has re-opened the franchise. Rootbeer, black cherry, and of course the amazing pineaple soda will soon be in my belly! Im so happy I might actually cry.... hey mabey the rolling stones will get ba.... wait, those old bastards never did break up did they.......Oh well the sodas back.

THANKS BUT I ALREADY GAVE AT THE OFFICE

Got my cell phone bill today, the regular bla bla bla...but then I noticed this little 3.23 tax. Whats this? so I read on...federal universal svc fund? A govmt tax to help low income people have cell phones and to help improve cell sites for better coverage? f&*k that! what the hell do people with low incomes need a cell phone for? and why does the company that my household pays $400 a month to need additional money for? that is what the bill covers for the love of mike!!!! And furthermore I would NOT like to donate a dollar on my electric bill to help pay for low income households and quite sending your darling children to my home.... would you like to buy a candy bar for $7.50 so I can go to band class? WHAT DID THE GOVERMENT DO WITH THE $35000 I gave them last year in taxes? What? a war? were did they get the money for that from? What? you mean they just made it up? No way! i can smell a lie like a fart in a car.... If that was true they would do that for schools and gov health care and all the other things this country needs more than 15 strait years of war. I mean If the gov could just come up with 150000 a day to fight a war they would do that to end Hunger, aides, poverty.....and if we were gonna fight a valid war we should attack Texas, they have been sending spies to the whitehouse trying to finacialy ruin the states for years, a way bigger threat than some poor ignorant country across the pond. you are making my head hurt with all of this...im going to go have a drink. PEACE
(but if your kid comes to my house I will probably still buy the candy...I love me some chocolate!)

THE CLAMS ARE RUNNING!!

Today started early, 4 am to be exact. Caron and I decided to go clamming this morning in seaside/gearheart beach. It takes us about an hour and a half to get there and the tide was an early one. So now I sit here tired from two hours of driving and two hours of clamming to get our limit. (15 a piece) We kinda just walked down the beach and didnt go at it too hard. Might go again tommorrow, We are having guest down this weekend and clams on the deck with some wine sounds nice. I know your thinking, sounds like expensive clams with the price of gas and time but hey....were suckers for a mist cool six am walk on the beach with 20 thousand other people.

Random

YOU KNOW THAT LOOK WOMEN GET WHEN THEY WANT SEX???......ME NIETHER!

say waaa?

Today I saw someone with a big expensive education ranting on tv about how america is ready for a female president...... hmmmm thats funny cause according to katie curracs (is that spelled wrong?) ratings we are not even ready for a female primary news anchor... but I suppose that doesnt mean anything, does it?
If Hillary is elected she said she would give her husband Bill the job as US ambassador to the world... ha ha,
can you just imagine him bedding hot women from strange other places like some real life captain Kirk.....
I bet John Stewart and the daily show is just dying for the pair to get elected!

mondays tips

Choking on an ice cube? simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat... and presto the blockage is gone!

clumsy? avoid cutting yourself chopping veggies by having someone else hold them while you do it.

avoid annoying fights about leaving the toilet seat up by just using the sink.

and remember... everyone hates your dog......exept you.

WTF

Well since I never get the parts list right we had to return to Home Depo (lumber store) for more stuff yesterday. The parking lot was full to capacity with the exeption of a ginormous square of handicap parking spots right in the front.. like 30..........empty...not even old oil spots in them........ Do people who are so handicaped that they require special parking do alot of home improvements themselves????
You dont have to be the head checker down at the Wal-mart to realize that you don't need 30 handicap parking spots, or even those battery powered carts with three wheels at a do it your self lumber yard.
Caron says its the law.. Well next time im parking right in front and just gonna drool down my face and drag my foot and pretend Im putting in a wheel chair ramp for myself .

Flirt update...

Saw the coffee girl today at the grocery, she wasn't working, shopping and she appeared to be with her boyfriend. She smiled a smile aimed at the ground and looked away..he looked at me, then her and said something sarcastic ( like what you looking at that wimp for) and smuggly walked away.
He was wearing cut-off levis and an orange county choppers shirt and a von dutch hat.
I felt sorry for her. He hadn't shaved in about a week. GIRLS DON'T DATE BENEITH YOU!

Mondays advice

A mouse trap placed ontop of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep.

Bad cough? take a large dose of laxitives.....then you will be too afraid to cough.

High blood pressure? just cut your wrist and let it bleed for a few minutes, thus relieving your blood pressure, Remember, use an egg timer.

and most of all kids, remember..most people seem normal untill you get to know them.

blah, blah blah

I was just wondering if it is ok with you guys if I really don't give a big fat doody if Paris Hilton is going to jail? Really...uh don't really care. But what I really am blown away by is last nite a woman on lets make a deal.
Homeless from Katrina, living with her sister, broke, sad, and hopeless was offered 123000 smackers and let it go for a chance for more....... she won $5 giving her the pole position for this years greedy dumbass american award. Note to self... If broke beyond belief and Howie Mandel offers me $50.......Take it

busy weekend

On day two of hall and bath remodel, new tile, trim and beadboard, will post some photos later....wish me luck!

Im such a slut

My wife knows im a flirt, she's ok with it cause she knows I love her, thats why she was able to laugh at this-
The coffe girl at the tullys stand in our local fred meyers has always flirted with me, mostly for tips and sport I suppose, but she does it and it does feel kind of nice.
Today I went in and ordered our usual, two white chocolate mochas, irish cream and before I could finish my order she looked at me and said..no whip, I shot back, lets just start with handcuffs..and smiled, ......................
time stood still, the two other people in line just stared at me, this little coffee stella with red hair finaly had skin to match...... 8.25 please was her only remark, I cant help but think I might have just killed our coffee flirtation affair......me and my big mouth.

Tipping

Hmmm, you ever tip the girl at Mcdonalds who gets you a milkshake? The person who works the drive through at your bank? The meter reader in your power company? No, no,no? Me neither.....so why does my wife keep tipping these people at starbucks and drive through coffee houses? It drives me f@#$ing nuts!!! They have no skills, there is no additional service provided after the inital purchase so why do they imply that they deserve gratuity? I tip the guy who pumps my gas, becouse he is often working in adverse conditions ( in oregon you cannot pump your own gas) no one else I know does. But the hot little ass shaker who screws up my coffee 3 out of 5 times gets tons of tips...... THIS IS STUPID.......STOP DOING IT...... Tips are for legitimate servers in places where they take care of you continously, not becouse your wife is ugly and the little spinster gives you a woody, and ladies I don't care if you used to work in the field and tip every person who puts a plastic jug on the counter becouse you feel for them.......IT IS STUPID....STOP DOING IT. I would prefer to give my dollar to a homeless person. These jobs are entry level, paying them more only promotes them remaining there longer than they should.....not tipping will only drive them to improve their station in life.. therefore giving them the gift of success.
