Merry Christmas

Notice I said Merry Christmas,

Not happy holidays, or any other generic Christmas Greeting. If I were Jewish I would say Happy Hanukkah, If I celebrated Kwanzaa I would give whatever that greeting is. I am Christian so Merry Christmas. If you don't like it don't listen

With that

I wish all of you The Merriest of Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New year

Has anyone noticed

Is it inly me or does there not seem to be alot of Christmas Cheer this year. I don;t know what it is but it does not seem very Christmasy. I have pointed out to my wife and others that even the stores did not seem to go all out like the used to. Any one have any theories, I do and of course I will tell you after all why would I be writing this. First, Could it be the anti religous people who donlt want anyone celebrating anything and our offended by any remotely having to do with Christmas and the birth of our lord. Yes. Could it be that the stores are afraid of these people for some reason and that is why at alot of them they are not aloud to return a Merry Christmas. Yes. Could it be the economy and alot of people are losing alot of money and really can't afford a Christmas. Yes. Al of these are more than likely answers. I am sorry for all of these people especially those effected by the economy. I really do hope you can have some kind of a Merry Christmas and hoepfully a better next year. As for the people who don't want religon in stores or Christmas I say what the hell do you care anyway you don't beleive and therefore should not be celebratging the Holiday so shut the fuck up just because you live a miserable existance donlt bring your hatred near the holidays.

On to something else gas prices have dropped but airline Tickets have not and they are still charging for extra bags. Why is that, I thought it was to offset the price of fuel now what is there excuse. can anyone answer that.

More soon

It could not have happened to better person hopefully this means we will not have to look at her fat ass anymore.

Well, it's December

Another year has almost gone by and I am pleased. But we must realize there is a month left and many things can happen in a month. So lets not start celebrating yet.

Thanksgiving at the house was uneventful all of the traditional holidays fares were introduced and yours truly thoroughly stuffed himself. The friends who showed were truly that and the conversation flowed easily. My in laws were uncharacteristically quiet friendly. In otherwords no snide little comments about anything. So the day overall was great. I had to work on Friday so the Christmas lights did not go up until Saturday which kind of upset me because I like to be the first on the block to get them up and I was beaten by 2 of my neighbors however 1 one them had them up on Wednesday so I kind of consider that cheating so I did not count them. As for running my knee feels great and I will be back on the road tomorrow. 2 more bigs coming up and I still have to decide on San Diego. So be safe all I will update as things happen that is if anything happens.

Happy Thanksgiving? maybe

I know I will not be able to post tomorrow so I want to wish you all the Happiest Thanksgiving ever and I truly hope all of you have plenty to be thankful for. My day as I have just been informed will be spent with my inlaws. Which will require tolerance and those of you who kow me know that I am not a carrier of tolerance. So it raise these level it will require beer or something more alcoholic. I do love My wifes parents but they are best taken in small doses. Thanksgiving is not a small dose. I will do my best to be nice for the sake of my families holiday. I ahve also been told that my Sister in Law may be attending now this creates a problem. She is by far the most selfish person I have ever met and My in laws seem to forget my wife exist whenever she is around. If she brings her bratty kids I can assure you 2 things will happen 1. something will be broken 2. my wifes parents will also forget that my children exist. But don't worry yourself I will introduce them to the door should this happen. So my Thanksgiving is already over as far as I am concerned. I will spend most of the day with my remote and a several MGDs.

be safe all

Direct TV

I switched from cable to Direct TV. First this requires patience second this requires tolerance of stupidity I have neither of those qualities so it was a long day. let me start at the beginning. I called up Direct TV to see about saving some money. It is cheaper than cable. I talked to a woman who I advised her I wanted to switch but I needed to have the network channels, she advised me they could not do it without sending a waiver. OK no thank you I said and everyone was happy. 2 days later I get a call from of course Direct TV asking me if I was still interested, I said I was but I want all the network channels with no waiver if they could not do that don't bother. So she said they could no problems I am sure she was getting sick of me because I kept asking "are you sure I get all the network channels" she said for the umpteenth time yes. SO ok come and install it. A few days later the tech shows up with out all the equipment I advised him I am supposed to have all this stuff HD, DVR etc. he says it not on his work order and makes a few phone calls they agree to go ahead and put it in ( I should have seen the problems coming right then) So about 4 hours later he has installed a huge CD dish and put in all the receivers. gets everything in line turns it on and nothing just a message saying programming needed. He asks me if I had asked for any programming, I informed him of what was requested ( I should say I picked there best and most expensive package) well they have no record of this, I am also told that they cannot give me the network channels as promised and there is nothing there that says it so I can have CBS and NBC and that is it. I think about it a bit argue with the lady and they finally submit to 2 years of NFL season pass so I say OK and agree they submit the waivers and we move on. As we are checking out the channels I tell her several times NBC HD is not working she says it may an hour or so. So yup you guessed it I waited a few days and called I was informed they have to submit a waiver for that channel. I asked to speak to a manager or supervisor was put on hold and then told no supervisors would pick up and to leave my number that they would call me back. No call back in 2 days. So needless to say I am pissed. I am stuck with this contract for 2 years and get nothing but lies. I will update you as this goes on.

If I can't get back on here I want to wish everyone the Happiest of Thanksgivings

Be safe
