Since I’ve been such a blog slacker this year, I missed the April assistance dog blog carnival. Plus I was kinda stressed out by something which I still need to write about. But anyway, the July one came up and I decided I was going to do my best to hit it. So I went …

Williams And McDaniel, Wake Up To The Alarm Bell
Goddamn it I’m shaking, and I didn’t go through anything super uber scary. I mean, I did, but on the scale, there are far worse things. But it’s been a little while, and I’m still sitting here, heart pounding, having trouble getting air. Here’s the scene. I’m taking Trix out to pee. It’s 30 degrees …

An Inside Look At A Call Centre In India
Reading this description of life as a call centre agent in India was really interesting. Interesting, and sad. But it also made me chuckle because of a comedy bit that Steve was recently talking about. I guess someone, whose name escapes him, was talking about how these Indian-sounding fellers always had very American names like …
Tip The Wheelchair Man, Or He’ll Tip You Out Of Your Wheelchair!
Wheelchair Abandoned In North Guelph I read the story, and have so many questions. How did the chair get separated from its user? And why out in that deserted area? Did someone steal the chair?

Some Hate Mail For Hotmail
I discovered something yesterday that has made me decide that I hate Hotmail. It’s a good thing I don’t use their web interface unless I’m really stuck. I got a frantic call from a friend who isn’t the most computer literate sort in the world. “All I want to do is send a message from …
Leave Me Alone Or I’ll Use My Batoddler!
That would have been quite the day on the subway. A woman got in a fight with another passenger, and decided to use a rather unorthodox weapon in the fight…that’d be her kid. She picked the poor kidlet out of her stroller and started swinging the poor kid at her victim. She also pulled the …
Garage? Toilet? What’s The Difference?
This story brings back memories of the old story of Austin Horries Purifoy A woman heard her garage door slam, and her dog bark. Then she saw a naked man in her garage. So she called police. By the time they got there, they found the drunk, naked man had taken a big ol’ crapperoo …
Roselle Is Gone
I just heard this a couple of days ago. Everybody and their brother’s cousin’s sister’s uncle has heard the story of Michael Hingson and his guide dog Roselle, and how they not only got out of the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001, but how they helped others too. Well, she has passed away …
It’s Me! Remember Me?
I’m feeling all frazzled so maybe if I ramble, I can unfrazzle myself. I’m sitting here, time’s going tick tock, and my brain is screaming at a fever pitch “You have so many things to do! Do them! Do them now!” At the same time, an equally loud voice yells “But you either don’t have …
