April Showers

Been raining here for the last few days.  I am glad to get the rain, the grass looks great.  The only thing I miss is going for walks and not getting soaked.

The Glenn Monster is doing well.  He really likes pulling up and trying scooch around the couch now.  Some days he isn’t bad, others he is just a cranky baby.  Both of his lower front teeth are through the gums now.  I would take a picture, but it is almost impossible to see what’s going on in there.

Work is busy as always.  Our new guy was let go this morning.  He didn’t do much, that any of us could tell, which is probably why he is gone.  Not too much loss I guess.

As soon as it stops raining, I’ll be able to take some spring photos.  The tress are finally not entirely naked.
The darn cicadas are coming soon.  Oh joy.  Ugly but harmless.

Save internet radio

I don’t know how many of you know it, but the royality rules will soon change for internet broadcasts of music.  Please send a letter to your congressman or woman to save many of the smaller stations that will go silent if this change happens.

I also like how it has temporary and permanent tags.

Foods I’ve Never Eaten

While eating a very late night (or early morning snack) I was thinking about common foods I’ve never eaten.
These are foods I never have even tried. Most are because I am allergic to eggs and tree nuts, but others, not sure why I have never tried them. Here is a list in no particular order:

  1. McDonalds Big Mac. The secret sauce has always scared me. I know I can order it without, but I never tried.
  2. Meat Loaf. Partially due to possible egg content, partially due to the fact that is hamburger baked in a pan.
  3. Coffee Cakes. A church staple, and loaded with eggs and they look gross to me.
  4. Snickers Bar. I believe it has nuts.
  5. Hamburger Helper. Looks like vomit and smells like ketchup.
  6. Custard. Eggs holding hands.

I am sure there are more than I can’t think of right now. Let me know what you have NEVER tried. Not foods that you have tried and hated. If you can’t think of anything, let me know what common foods make you gag.

Common foods that make me gag are:

  1. Ketchup. I know it is tomato and vinegar, but it makes me gag. Mustard I can stand, but it dominates any food it is put on.
  2. Yogurt. I can never get past the smell. The taste is OK, but the smell is gross as hell to me.
  3. Cottage cheese. See Yogurt.
  4. Mushrooms. (Some are OK) but most taste like dirt and feel like rubber.

So, if you are bored, comment on foods you’ve never tried or will never eat again.
