  • Heartburning

    All night long I have had trouble sleeping because of heartburn. I know it is because I was stupid enough to eat a Drumstick (the kind without peanuts) right before bed (Not a regular thing by the way) and we have no antacids in the house. However, every time I have heartburn, I think of…

  • My Food Allergies

    Pork Milk Corn Rye Beans Peas Pepper Brewer’s Yeast Eggs Codfish UPDATE: Tomato. I can’t believe I forgot that one. UPDATE 2: Garlic and lamb should also be on the list. I’m pretty sure there may be at least one more, but I cannot remember it right now. I will update this post if I…

  • What To Eat After A Clear Liquid Diet?

    I am going into the hospital today for an outpatient procedure (Hint: It rhymes with Schmolonoscopy) and therefore have been on a clear liquid diet for the past 24 hours.  In fact, the last solid thing I ate was a plate of crab legs on Saturday night (delicious by the way). Since then I have…

  • Needlessly Scared?

    Tonight I will be sleeping on the couch. Not because of any fight that Patti and I had, but rather because I have really bad heartburn. It may have been a residual effect from the burritos and beer I had for dinner last night. Or the nachos with the leftover taco meat, black beans, salsa,…

  • Feeling Bad

    I feel really bad this morning. Not emotionally or spiritually, this is all physical. I feel so bad that I can’t even make analogies. Case in point: “I feel bad. You know that stuff that feels bad. I feel like that.” Anyway, here is something that will hopefully brighten my day when I feel like…

  • My Own Personal Idiocy

    I have high blood pressure. In fact, at one time very recently it was 190/120. I have decided to limit my caffeine intake in a big way. I used to allow myself four or five cans of Arizona Ice Tea and one cup of coffee a week. I cut out the coffee completely and scaled…
