Could I look crazier?
As I am at a red light on elmwood and maybe West Delevan I realize I am singing at the top of my lungs "What a feeling" while smoking a fake candy cigarette. And YES all my windows are open. I really could not have looked cooler!

OMG so many things are coming up. The week of like October 11 is gonna be the craziest ever. (e:lilho) and (e:southernyankee) will be in town and it is also the last week (e:beast), one of my best friends for the last 13 years, will be in town befroe getting married and moving to Scotland for at minimum two years but prolly longer if not forever! And I have my PCAT's which pretty decide my whole future as a pharmacist. How am I gonna do it all!?!? Most likely with a lot of class as always, haha!

Beaver Island Casino Wedding
Has anyone ever been to a wedding or anything at the casino at Beaver Isalnd. Casino in the like reception hall sense not gambling sense. My parents have a wedding there this weekend and are debating if it is like nice or casual. Is it like a pavilion just like the Noco pavilion at sheridan park or soemthing or is it nice more like Cloks Grove in West Seneca type thing. Anyone know?
mike - 09/20/07 20:05
thanks so much! I could not find any info on it! That is the place!
jason - 09/20/07 16:20
I could be wrong Mike, verify this, but I think it is now called Beaver Island Clubhouse.

:::link:::

Looks to me as if it is basically a respectable joint. No flip-flops or whatnot.

Terrified of Appendicitis
I woke up at like 1:30 in the morning with the worst pain in my stomach ever. I felt like I had done like a million crunches and then someone shot me all over my stomach! It was so painful, i oculdn't do anything but cringe. There was no way to get comfortable. At first I thought food poisioning or something like that, but there seemed to be no related digestive problems really. I took some maalox and it did not help at all.

That's when I decided i had appendicitis. You see that is what I am most scared of in life. Ever since my 10th grade biology teacher told me that if you don't get to a hospital right away , you die, I have always feared I would die of appendicits cuz I get lots of stomahc aches. I looked it up online and it said you hsouldn't take maalox or drink water cuz it oculd speed the rupturee! WHICH THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I HAD BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST TWO HOURS!!! and then after reading all the symptoms of course I had tehm all!!! I was so sure Iwas going to die but still feared going to the hospital in case it was really just like a gas issue or something though it didn't seem like it. AT like 6:45 it started tto subside a little and I was able to fall asleep except I had to get up at 745 to go to work. Which let me tell you , I twas just me and the pharmacist for liek half the day (we usually have like 4 workers) and I had had about an hour of sleep at most and was still in pain. Like it still hurts. But like now it is a dull pain. My pharmacist said if it was apendicities you would not doubt it. Like it would be totally horrible and keep getting worse. It would never get better. I don't know what to do , my side still hurts, should I go to the doctors? I don't know! WHAt if i am raelly tolerant of pain and really I have appendicitis and am ignoring it! It is my right side that hurts. I don't know!!! I also missed school today because i passed out whehn i got home form work from pain/tiredness. Which prolyl means I will fial and nver get into pharmacy school cuz I also don't have my lab book which I need but now have heard it is sold out!

grr suckiness right now

I sent you an email Mike. But it's true, appendicitis doesn't just go away. But if you have pain that bad, it's worth getting checked out.

Oh- and people don't die from appendicitis anymore. Not even ruptured appendicitis. It's pretty much no big deal. ;)
james - 09/19/07 13:51
Feel better. I hope your organs don't explode.
paul - 09/19/07 10:19
Go to the freakin doctor, who cares what they think. You might as well go.
maureen - 09/18/07 22:51
I don't think it would ever occur to me that you (of all people) are super tolerant of pain...then again, you do have bizarre things happen to you. I say go to the doctor and feel better!!
kookcity2000 - 09/18/07 22:14
dude I had bouts like that as a lad!

And then the final bout was appendicitis
The previous bouts were easily explained by
1] eating snow or
2] food poisoning.

but in the end I guess it was the ol appendix.
I don't even know if thats medically possible but thats what hapened.

Did you puke a lot or at all?

SO Sick of working shorthanded
Ok we are seriuosly short handed at work. Like way shorthanded both in number of people and quality of people and i swear everyday we start off short handed and then like 2 people call in or leave early or something. It is out of control. They haven't been partiucularly busy days but when there is noone else there really , it starts to wear on you!! RiteAid has the most ridiculous hiring proocess, my boss has been tyring to hire this girl for liek a month but there are like 7,000 steps to it and another kid who used to work for Eckerd but got terminated after not workkng there for three months didn't get past the preemployment quiz. Thye said he may not be desirable BUT HE ALREADY HAD WORKED THERE FOR 5 YEARS! It is so F'ed up. I hate RiteAid !
james - 09/18/07 10:16
700 steps? Even at a gross exaggeration that is ridiculous.

Can you read? good
are you legal to work? good
are you high? Well, that wont be a problem here. Welcome to rite-aid!

it should be that easy.

And why is the manager letting these people leave early, and keep calling in?
hodown - 09/18/07 09:23
Dear Mike,

I'm just going to throw this idea out there for consideration. Maybe with your fancy private college education you are too good for employment at RiteAid. Just food for though..

I HEART YOU AWARD SHOWS
Tonight is the Emmy's, I believe they are my thridish favorite award show. I seriously love preshow extravaganzas though I am way behind as I just started watching the preshow a few minutes ago. I used to watch for hours , starting around noon. I need to get back into that. Those were good times. I just love random celebrity banter and super crazy questions asked in fancy gowns. I don't like that JOan Rivers is not on tv anymore and just on the web. I also find it funny that Ryan Seacrest is doing red carpet duty even though he is the host. He is quite the overachiever!
lauren - 09/17/07 11:32
Do check out my most recent post where Sally Fields was conveniently silenced due to her anti-war speech.
james - 09/16/07 21:57
Joan RIvers isn't doing it live anymore?

That is bad news for her daughters career.
lilho - 09/16/07 19:09
argh, i would so want to watch with you! umm, we should plan to be together for the academy awards!!! big partty, big celeb fun!
