It’s been so long since I’ve had strep throat that I forgot just how painful it is, especially when you are trying to cough stuff up.
I hate that feeling of coughing so much that your head starts to hurt.
Sneezing with a sore throat also hurts.
It’s weird feeling unproductive and just try to rest. I feeling like I should be working on stuff for class, doing taxes, cleaning, or something else, but I’m just too dang tired.
What makes it a little tougher is that my DVR died on me a few days ago.
At least my dogs are here to keep me happy, even though DogGeeding is getting up in years and is having trouble holding his stuff in.
I don’t understand how people can watch daytime television. The exception use to be the Price is Right, but it’s not what it use to be.
I did discover if I ever wanted to lose to the will to live, all I have to do is watch The View.
OK, I’m whining now.
Saints by two on Sunday.
There’s a Taco Bell commercial that comes on about some guy wanting a particular girl to take his order so he can get a cheaper deal or whatever. Not that I’m much of a Bell customer, but I don’t girls look that nice behind the counter.
Talk shows by the numbers was interesting. I would have thought that the average amount paid to guest would be higher and I am sure that "A-list" guest are paid almost 10x that amount.
Keith, since you brought up common grammatical errors, I must admonish you, out of brotherly love, about a grammatical error that you commonly inflict upon your dear readers. 🙂 Read on:
You omit the "d" in the phrase "used to." For example, in the 7th bullet point in this very blogpost (!), you wrote:
"I don’t understand how people can watch daytime television. The exception use to be the Price is Right, but it’s not what it use to be."
It should be "The exception used to be" and, "it's not what it used to be."

The silver lining to the sick cloud is that you are not supposed to do anything. Being home sick means bed rest and nothing else. Recuperate.
I'm glad to see The Daily Show and the Colbert Report are so competitve given that they are on Comedy Central, a channel many homes do not have.
I was surprised that Zucker makes so much less than O'Brien or Leno.
At $840 the guests are being overpaid. They are on strictly to sell stuff. I find most of the celebrity interviews to be a waste of time.
WHO DAT????

I really had no idea . . . I blame the Mineral Wells schools system as well as HSU and won't take any personal responsibility for this fault. 😉
… I blame George Bush.
"I blame the Mineral Wells schools system as well as HSU and won't take any personal responsibility for this fault".
Is there a reason you left out the Department of Education? Certainly, they deserve some of the blame.
I am probably more likely to notice misuse of the "try and", but its correction would mess up one of the better songs from the Hotel California LP.
