Happy birthday to me!

Today is my birthday. The big 28. Ever closer to the 3-0 which doesn't seem nearly as old as it used to. Now it just seems kinda old. Spose that's one of those changing perspectives sort of things. I'll be off from work all day and have a nice long weekend to celebrate my oldness.

Apple fanboys get burned. Whiners.

I can't believe you honestly think you should get that extra $200 back for the iPhone. I guess you should have waited a couple of months to buy it eh? At least you get $100 back to spend on more Apple stuff... Cause that's the same as getting the cash back. Or not.

Lapband by Journey Lite

If you are overweight, and there are a very high percentage of people that are, maybe a lapband is what will help. Lapband is essentially a weight loss surgerywhere they cut you open and put an adjustable "band" around your stomach that cuts the capacity of the stomach down. A forced diet if you will.

For some with weak wills that cannot diet on their own, or fall off of the diet wagon, this could be the best option.

It obviously won't be for everyone, and I'm sure that there are restrictions to who can get the surgery. But on the bright side, it is reversible if it doesn't work, or if there are complications. JourneyLite even has a forum, support lines, and support groups along with plenty of information on their website to help you along.

Of course, you really should discuss a surgery of any kind with your doctor and realize that there is no easy surgery and there will be pain and adjustment.

September is coming!

Another summer is about to wrap up and the leaves are changing colors. Fall is here. And with it, Football. American Football to be exact. Time for the gridiron to be painted on the field and the helmets to be polished up.

Pads clashing, helmets crashing, and quarterbacks calling signals. It's all part of the sport. Ain't it great?!?
