Australian rugby league player Ben Czislowski, 24, complaining of an eye infection and pain in July, was found by doctors to have, embedded in his head, a tooth belonging to opponent Matt Austin, with whom he had violently collided in an April match. Austin also lost several other teeth in the collision.

A Lake Charles, La., man was killed in August by a single gunshot, which was explained by Sheriff Tony Mancuso: "(The man and his girlfriend) were engaged in consensual sexual behavior involving a firearm when the firearm was discharged, resulting in his death." [KPLC-TV (Lake Charles), 8-2-07]

A 60-year-old female rancher was killed in August in Mitchell, Australia, when a 10-month-old male camel (recently arrived as a birthday gift for the woman) apparently mistook her for a female camel, knocked her to the ground, and lay on top of her in what one camel expert said "no doubt" was "sexual" behavior, crushing her with his 330 pounds.

anyone have any good suggestions for places to get an oil change?

i'm trading cars with lauren today so i can get her an oil change while she is at work. Her car is smelly. And sadly, does not have an estrip bumper sticker. i think i'll feel naked today.

my cats are being absolutely insane right now, running all over the apartment meowing like insane little balls of crazy.

Yesterday was my Gram's 80th birthday. It was a great time that we all had and I got to see more of my fam than i have in a long time.

my meatloaf was the talk of the party. well maybe not, but it was the best meatloaf there and i talked about that a lot.

My nephew, danny, is the cutest ever. Here he is dancing to whatever music he has in his head.


We got some family shots too.

this is me and my brothers.

we are all so excited and so happy to be there. please note the beer can that is so cleverly hidden in brian's hand. (mine was in my back pocket)
we are so classy.

all in all a great time. I missed the photos of my mom and all her brothers and sisters with gram and grandpap, and didn't have my camera present for the photos of the Moores, but i'm sure somebody will send them to me.

Today is 'busy day'. day off that includes doing lots of chores.

there is three and a half pounds of loaf marinating in my fridge.
yes thats right. meatloaf.

be jealous. be very jealous.

a couple of things before i run off to work.


1> Paul, Matthew or Terry! Or anyone who is in contact with any of these fellows: I left Matthew a sprint phone on the pmt porch behind the plant! i did not want to drop it into the mail slot as i assuemed that led directly to the floor, where said phone would probably be found in twenty five pieces. Somebody let me know if you actually found it!

2> Any suggestions as to where i can find about a 12" by 16" by 72" piece of foam? i need it to fill in the gap that was left after my dumb ass ordered a california king bed rather than a standard king.

3> i seemed to have missed some birthdays. theecarey happy birthday! lisabeth- happy birthday! anybody else i missed - happy birthday!

4> i'm having some pains right now. I don't feel well. eh whatcha gonna do...
