And here we are yet again with a NEW gripe...
Tonight's Gripe is Sponsored By:
Is *THIS* any way to treat your Fellow American?
So I *did* land Stateside yesterday...as promised:
http://www.whitewomenblackmen.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15069
No production projects....YET!
I *am* here for two or three conventions...(Hope ta see ya wherever I hang my fedora, yes?)
Ennyroad, back to the gripes....yes, plural *not* singular....not today...
First thing,
I CANNOT DONATE BLOOD IN THE UNITED STATES ANYMORE!
Every now & then I like to do my bit to help out my Fellow Space Travellers, by giving blood..
The folks at the Red Cross got one look at my Passport - saw that I have been living & working in England since 2000 - and PERMANENTLY put my data into the system denoting that I am *FOREVER* barred from donating blood in the U.S.A.!
My response was: "D'ya mind if I ask...*why*?"
It was explained to me that it's for fear of any threat of
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (SBE) more commonly known as:
MAD COW DISEASE..
The big fear is that Yours Truly, having been in The U.k. for over 18 months, mighta consumed beef over there...and contracted..well, you know..
I *told* those bozos that I *don't* eat beef of ANY kind...AT *ALL!*
And *I* was told : "Well, you could just be SAYIN' that.."
..and so, that was the end of that....
The misery continuums....
This A.M. I went to one of the local
DENNY'S for a breakfast (2-4-1 coupon that Mrs. MDBCartoon found on the back of a grocery register receipt tape)
Ennyroad, the personnel there were sitting around like retirfed Country Club hotshots....and apart from them, the establishment was *devoid* of *any* other folks...no patrons whatsoever. Nothing.
And I was told that they had -- *run out of food* -- and were awaiting a re-stocking delivery .. about 1 to 2 hours they said.
I told 'em this is the last you've seen of *Yours Truly*, hiotherto a loyal patron.....and stomped outta the building.
I mean....a 24-hour dining emporium? Running outta food? What the HELL is up WITH that?!?
Get STUFFED!




Guess it's BACK to living by THREE WORDS a'la
