Bing you are depressed, What you need is a diversion, some spice in your life, a raunchy affair usually works or a near death experience. Did I ever tell you about the time my buddie “Gunman George” got caught with the wife of the towns local mentally deranged tough guy Elmer. GG was on pins and needles for weeks hoping no one would tell Elmer. Gave him “GG” a whole new attitude about the simple pleasures of breathing and having a pulse and a heart beat.

humphrmi–Chi: How vivid is your memory? Don’t you remember those poor “ENRON” souls that became stranded in “HAWAII” at the “ENRON” bust?

Bob Shelby: “The pain of bloodshot eyes in the morning resulting from “LAPTOPITIS”, can be transformed into the pleasure of a starry-eyed “POLYNESIAN FESTIVAL” resulting from “INCENTIVE REWARDS”.”

What industry do you work for that still offers “INCENTIVE AWARDS”? Most of us are living through this just to keep from getting RIF’d.

And then what’s that crap about Detroit Cool? Jeez, maybe you should lay off the bourbon before you post.

Sleep, at night, can have assorted distractions; some from less ideal sleeping quarters mixed with natural night-time phenomena.

At night, sounds become amplified and vision becomes sharper. Proper body chemistry for ideal sleep can be off the mark.

Our instincts are like “BEACONS” scanning our senses for our needs of “PAIN” and “PLEASURE”.

How we are programmed might well be the deciding factor of our awakening–”RUDE” or “SENSUOUS”.

Sleeping with your “LAPTOP” can be a sign of “ECONOMIC INSECURITY”–”PAIN”.

Hence, in the convulusions of your “BRAIN”, with proper programming one can convert the “PAIN’ to “PLEASURE”.

The pain of bloodshot eyes in the morning resulting from “LAPTOPITIS”, can be transformed into the pleasure of a starry-eyed “POLYNESIAN FESTIVAL” resulting from “INCENTIVE REWARDS”.

“MENTOR”, a Detroit Real Estate Broker, who has since passed away, but was really “DETROIT COOL”, in passing a topless bar commented “What a waste”.

His comment was: Most women are like that and most men are like the “CHIPPENDALES” behinf closed doors. What’s the big deal?

In closing: I OWE. I OWE. IT’S OFF TO WORK I GO!!!

Dude you just described to a T life for me the last few weeks. I don’t believe I could have stated it better. The paragraph with the trash man…yep, heard him while still typing away on my laptop.

I’m there right next to you, BING – I feel your pain. I just try to keep my head up, as they say – tomorrow is another day.

Good luck!

I’m reminded of what Norm on Cheers said a while back: “It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there and I’m wearing Milkbone underwear.”

We feel your pain. These are the days we are glad the windows in the upper floors don’t open.

Bing – you are so terminally “perky” until now….but I suppose the point is if we did not feel the pain, the rain, or the thorns perhaps we’d not really appreciate the pleasure, the sunshine and the roses.

Yes we have all been there and it seems so endless, then simply passes and we forget and do what it is we get paid for,

D-Day (Bruce McGill): War’s over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: Over? Did you say “over”? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter (Tim Matheson): [whispering] Germans?
Boon (Peter Riegert): Forget it, he’s rolling.
Bluto: And it ain’t over now. ‘Cause when the goin’ gets tough… [thinks hard] the tough get goin’! Who’s with me? Let’s go! [runs out, alone; then returns] What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts, huh? “Ooh, we’re afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble.” Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I’m not gonna take this. Wormer, he’s a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer -
Otter: Dead! Bluto’s right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.
Bluto: We’re just the guys to do it.
D-Day: Let’s do it.
Bluto: LET’S DO IT!!

Stan, what’s the matter, does the clatter of chatter churn you into feeling like pancake batter at the bottom of the corporate ladder?

Going through CNN money scripts, it appears that a resurgence in retail sales, and the overall economy is starting to spark?

Management demands to be “NUMERO UNO” with “BREAKING NEWS”!

Being an “ELECTION YEAR” and the candidates converging to the nomination cross-roads, especially, on to the hot summer conventions be reason for cranking up the presses?

Keep us “TUNED IN”!!!
