Buzz Gets A Lift

Before (Friday)                                                                                      After (Monday)

Buzz Burbank took one for the team and got a facelift last Friday.  Dr. Bruce Freedman (plasurg.com) was the first sponsor of The Mike O'Meara Show podcast.  They had him on the show a few weeks ago and arranged for Buzz to get a facelift for the show.  He is the oldest and was almost eager to have it done.  The videos were posted yesterday for all to enjoy!  Part 1 is actually not too hard to watch, the bright light bleaches out most of the gore.  Part 2 is a little more graphic.

He is awake and chatty throughout, yet very drugged.  A little over 7 minutes into the first vid he discusses the same study that the Man Flu article I posted Sunday was based on.   Buzz, always the ladies man...


You can see part 2 here.  Visit TMOS homepage here to listen to Monday's 'Big Reveal!'

Happy Sunday!

I've had a full weekend, see it over at Scoakat's Garden blog!

Coming up: Planting, (re)moving other plants, cleaning, fixing, buying, storing, and, I can't forget, - party planning! 

Happy Springtime!

Man Flu Is No Myth


"Men's ability to turn a sniffle into flu and a headache into a migraine has long been a source of irritation to wives and girlfriends.

But the new research suggests that they are not faking it and that they suffer diseases more seriously and for longer."

 I'm posting this because half the time when I'm sick I don't think my wife believes me.

Earth Hour/Human Achievement Hour





Earth Hour or Human Achievement Hour?  Lights on or lights off?  All very well meaning, I'm sure.  It seems like harmless fun to me.  It lets some people feel like they have done something and even feel like part of a greater community for the common good.  There's nothing wrong with that.  I don't care what these people are thinking as long as they continue thinking...

Thanks for the reminder, Uncle Bill.

Checking in...

Hello, just checking in.  I haven't been posting much because I have been doing some overtime lately.  Also, this week is my turn for the 'difficult' project at work.  My patience is frayed, my back is sore, and my feet are sorer.  Saturday I plan on building the garden so soon there will be more news here.  Other than that, all is well.  I hope you are enjoying the weather warming!

Dementia - The Band

A week or so ago I emailed posts from my last two shows I attended, W.A.S.P. and Ace Frehley, to an old friend of mine from high school.  I had a few drinks and was missing my old heavy metal buddy.  You see, he lives in another state now, and is married with 3 kids.  We haven't been close in quite a while, but we always seem to touch base once or twice a year anyway.  We had a short exchange the other day, so I was thinking of him while surfing bands on youtube.

Back in the late 80's and early 90's he was in a band - before the digital era.  Even so, I entered the name of his old band, Dementia, to see what I could find*.  After all, there are old videotapes that someone may have converted to share.  I used to be able to find their 1991 CD, 'Recuperate from Reality,' on Amazon (for like 50-60$!), I haven't checked in a while, though.  I was hoping to see something live on the youtube, but here's all I found.  Still, I doubt he knows it's there, until I forward him this post!  I hope it makes him smile!

Dementia - 1991 - Say Your Prayers


*There are a couple of other bands with the same name, so if you look I guess you'd have to know it when you see it.
