Goin' to California

with an achin' in my heart...

can of Skoal?  I would've recommended potato or cucumber, but whut do I know...
 
We are moving back to San Diego!  Uh...  we drive out in 9 days.  I have had approximately 2-weeks to get every damned thing done.

 
I'll be a might scarce around these parts, pardner.  I'll be busy fuh REAKING the frack out and running around with my hair on fire.
 
Panic Hair on Fire

 I'll try and update from the road with glorius pics of highway rest stops.  If anyone talks to Q, please let him know I will send a postcard I SWEAR.

  2. I hope this is happy news for you guys.

    I went to San Diego once on a vacation. I liked it. Went to an interesting AA meeting downtown where a drunk hobo almost mooned the congregation. Good times.

  3. Have a safe move, Gladys. No, I didn't say a "Good Move" because I don't think such an experience exits despite all those smiling peeps on the side of U-Hauls or Happy-Family-Murals on the sides of the large commercial-type moving trucks: Their Employment Ads read something like, "Literacy not necessary. Criminal Record Preferred. Bonus Points for Hostage Negotiation Skills" because your shit will be held hostage while the movers move it all over gawd's creation, just not in your geographical vicinity. But maybe next week/month/year they'll turn up-at 2AM.
    Aye, you were just getting settled into your new place and now its time for the Ultimate Road Trip. And pay a fortune to have stuff broken or "disappeared." I've often thought, "Huh, these are *not* the kind of people I would want to know where I live. But here they are in my house. The Boss-guy looked harmless enough, but the *rest* of the crew??? Mon Dieu." Well, no more worries about the ceiling fan: You're not movin' dust cross-country.
    OK, I'll be more up-beat: May your move be the absolute anthesis of each and every move I've endured since I owned more than I could shove in the back seat and trunk of my vehicle.
    Please send pictures. We'll leave the light on, OK? Too bad you don't have time to turn this moving "adventure" into a "Stop by and visit all the ULBs on the way." Now, that'd be, IMO, fun! And certainly memorable for a few good reasons ;)

  15. Q/Doug, this is your mother (and/or father) speaking. No more alcohol! Yeah, more tequila! Exactly what he needs! Yeah, does he want a second lobotomy? More lobotomies!!! No more beerz plz. That's kind of what I meant when I told your wife that I hope you guys take better care of yourselves. Did she send you my getter better soon wish? The beerz is probably what caused the problem in the first place. Why don't you just pour it directly onto your brain now?

  16. HI Lisa I think alcohol works givenin an enema after the hospital discharges you there s no humiliation too humiliating to endure. I have been poked sprayed an groped like a sack of grape fruit at the Arizona State Border I am with you in spirit Lisette good to see you around

    1. Yeah, but alcohol won't make it better
      Don't worry, it'll be over soon hopefully! And then you can go home

    2. Lisa, I would be interested to hear the facts behind your assumption that Q was drinking too much, and that THIS is what brought on the seizure. I see no evidence of a correlation there.

      Also, the comments regarding meeting for a shot of tequila were meant as a humorous response to a stressful situation. I would imagine that Q, as a grown assed adult, does not need any lectures or finger-wagging on the perils of alcohol. At this point, a beer is certainly the LEAST of his worries. Perhaps we should let Q along with his physicians and his family, decide on the best course of action for his recovery. After all, none of us have any information other than what Q and his family have chosen to share with us. And I would venture to guess that is FAR from the full story.

      As it should be.

    3. LISA is not entirely wrong it was years of hard living that made me susceptible to something like this my platelet count had to stabilize before they would crack me open. they were low because of years of drinking too much. I almost had to get a bone marrow biopsy except they came back up before I left acute care. I was one low platelet test from being scheduled for the procedure. I was all fucked up and I am not shitting the bull. And most of it was from teras of drinking
