aight at the risk of being on some Reader’s Digest ish, i have to copy & paste this one ‘cos i thought it was teh h3lla funny

A middle-aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. While on the operating table, she had a near-death experience. Seeing God, she asked, “Is my time up?” God said, “No, you have another 43 years, two months and eight days to live.”

Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face-lift, liposuction and a tummy tuck. Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well look nicer. After her last operation, she was released from the hospital. While crossing the street on her way home, she was hit and killed by an ambulance.

Arriving in front of God, she demanded, “I thought you said I had another 40 years? Why didn’t you pull me out of the path of that ambulance?”

God replied: “Girl…, I didn’t even recognize you.”

got this to our record label email:

name: [...]
Comments: My name is [...] and I work for Nielsen BDS in New York. We monitor radio airplay for Billboard Magazine and various music industry clients and I’m trying to track down some songs that are getting airplay but which we don’t have encoded into our system. If there’s anyway we could get copy of this song [...] The easiest method is through our secure Virtual Encode website which can be used to upload CD’s or MP3’s directly to our Encoding Department. Or you can easily email me an MP3 of it as well or mail me a copy of the CD or single. Just let me know which method you prefer and I’ll provide details. Thank you for your help with this matter.

hasn’t she heard of file sharing?

wow. haven’t had one of those in i think even a few years. growing up, every once in a while my vision would just go double, and it would scare the crud out of me. i can see OK out of one of each eye, but through both, it felt as if i was crossing my eyes (although my eyes weren’t actually physically crossed–i went to the bathroom to check this time!)

i hadn’t thought about it much because it hadn’t happened in such a long time–but i have a habit of joking to my wife about having a brain tumor (due to several episodes of inexplicable migraines). that’s a terrible joke for sure. i did just find out that double vision could be a *result* of a brain tumor, but i see nothing about it being a symptom…and furthermore this has been happening at least since i was a kid.
