Strangely, I found an extra $10 so I purchased six more months and rejoined IAM-BME

I let my IAM membership expire.. I do not like the way Rachel is running it any more. Rachel does not want to support piercings and castrations.. All she wants is tattoos.

I went to the ER tonight. A nasty Arachnid bit my left hand. They keep me a few hours. Tomorrow, I get an Rx filled for Bactrin. They said I have Cellulitis.

It's been almost 12 hours since I was in the ER and my left hand is slightly less swolen. The Rx was for sulfameth/trimethoprim 800/160 tabs which i take twice daily for ten days.

Most likely you have MSRA. It will probably eat you slowly.

Of course if you touch your dick while you're peeing that will catch

the bugs and fall off soon.

Actually you mean MRSA. I have a lot of experience with it over the last few years. It is curable and can be well controlled if you start early and follow doctor's advice. --FLO--

Well, considering that's one of the least used parts of my anatomy, I'll quote Alfred E. Neuman "What Me Worry"

As of this morning, hand is still swollen but I can make a strong fist so it is healing

Well, I had $270 left over this month to cover water, food, electricity and internet and was wondering how I was going to do it. This afternoon, the city shut off my water for non-payment. Now I only worry about electric, internet and food

I just called Edison and made a deal with them to pay $155 a month so, at least, I'll have electricity. First payment is April 2nd.

As the old lady who pissed into the sea once said, "every little bit helps."

Last night we had a power outage. It only lasted minutes but the power in my den stayed out so no computer, TV, VCR, etc. I frantically thought of replacing my entention cord, my power cords, etc.

This morning, I noticed the main power cord was unplugged. Duh

You guessed it, technology is far from my strong suit.

Jeanette broke into my room again and ripped me off for $1.50 in quarters. No, she didn't get past my lock. Unfortunately, my bedroom can be entered through two different doors: (1) from the dining room, that's the one with the lock on it (2) and from the middle bathroom, that one I thought I had adequately barricaded. It seems I'll need to lock that one too.

I call the police again and again they said it was a civil, not a legal concern.

I saw my doctor today. She said I looked damn good for a Jurassic era wolf. My weight is down to 211.

I noticed my bedroom had been entered while I was at the doctor's. Since this is the end of the month, nothing worth stealing was left

You need a whopping great dog to be locked in your bedroom when you are out. --FLO--

Since I turned 65, I've noticed a change in the cost of my medications. When I was just on Medi-Cal, my medications were free.

Now that I'm also on Medicare, my medications cost $1.60 each.

Is that bizarre or what?

Well, I'm hoping my check arrives Monday. As of today, Saturday, I have $1.55 left in my checking account. I have rice to eat tonight and if I get hungry tomorrow, I "think" I can get a free meal at Jack-in-the-Box

My doctor mentioned a place in the next town across from the big Loma Linda University Hospital that gives free meals. I'll call them on Monday.

In New York, they have a program called, "Meals on Wheels". Where they bring one warm meal to you 5 days a week at your home. Of course, you have to be retired and on Socail Security to get into this program.. I have wonder if they don't have a similar program in California, that you could take advantage of.

We used to have Meals on Wheels here but due to budget cuts, the program was dropped. I used to order them for my mom.

I was just looking here in Wisconsin and Riverwind can get them, if he is old enough.. Remember Riverwind is a lot younger than you. Meals on Wheel is here.

I went to a homeless church this morning at 6:30 am. After waiting in line in the cold for 90 minutes, they gave me two cups of orange juice, two burritos, a bottle of water and a bag of donuts. Not terribly delicious but it was filling.

Oh yeah, I had to listen to a 4 minute sermon too

Actually, the sermon was better than the burritos.

Monty gave me $8 tonight so I went out and bought Diet Coke, two tacos and a big cheeseburger. I have enough change for a light breakfast in the morning

There is an old story I always liked, I think of it as an O'Henry story but I'm not sure.

The gist is that a rich guy puts on a dinner for the down and out with the stipulation

that they are not required to listen to a sermon, as the dinner progresses and they all

find out there will be no sermonizing they are very disappointed.

WOO HOO, my check came today.

I celebrated by going grocery shopping only for the dire necessities of life: milk, cereal, bread, bolonga, jam, peanut butter, Cokes, a few cans of veggies, potatoes, ice and cookies.

It occurs to me that you could pck up a crock-pot for $5 or less at Goodwill or a yard sale, and a sack of beans and rice (poverty's friends) and be pretty much protected from the hungry time at the end of the month,

I have the crock pot. Now to just find some beans that would taste decent for 3 or 4 days. Suggestions?

A few minutes ago, my friend Terry made himself $5.00 in beer money by installing a lock on my second bedroom door.

Finally, I think my bedroom/pantry is safe from incursions
