My Vote

This is on my SL Profile and as I read it now it is just as important today as it was when I wrote it January 2008.



"This is an election for the future of the United States... We need a candidate of substance, one who understands and can work with the politics and the climate of Washington DC, a person with a strong connection to the Leaders of so many foreign countries who want to change the direction of the world to one of peace, someone who has made a difference in so many lives and can continue to make that difference, a person who has proven their abilities are beyond the stylistic prose spoken by so many...she is a Woman of Substance with more experience than anyone else.

**This is my personal opinion, I will not discuss it, nor will I debate it...**"

Lame-o in the Kitchen

So last night I go into the kitchen to make dinner. Simple right?

Reheat leftover Pork Tenderloin, Rice and Broccoli. Easy..just throw it in the microwave and nuke away... a 10 minute dinner, no problem, 1.... 2.... 3.....

Except, the microwave was not working. Dead as a doornail, dead as a 15 year old car battery, dead as your iPod after 400 hours straight of music, movies and videos. Not working, in any way, shape or form. Not happening. Nothing. The display was darker than a New York City blackout.

Circuit breaker? It's normal. So I unplug the sucker for about 5 minutes, plug it back in, nada... Crap

Figuring, I know absolutely nothing about microwaves, and have no real desire to be nuked in my sleep by this appliance, I leave it unplugged and call the repair man, wondering if its even worth repairing. It's 2 years old, but these things are soooo cheap nowadays, I just add this to my what else can I stress about list.

So I start to think, OK... put the tenderloin in the toaster over... but... TAKE IT OUT OF THE PLASTIC CONTAINER MORON! Dang crap to wash.

The rice... forgetaboutit, believe it or not, the only way to heat this rice up is in a microwave, go to carb standby #2, pasta... now I gotta look in the fridge to see what kinda of veggies I can throw in.. mushrooms, onion and garlic... parsley, thyme and oregano from the garden...cool.

Now about the broccoli..how do I cook that again? Oh yeah, on the stove with... ANOTHER FREAKIN POT I GOTTA CLEAN!

By now I have 3 burners going and ...how do I feed the dogs? Their veggies are steamed, the frozen raw beef needs to defrost..grrrrrrr...... eff the beef they are getting eggs, dammit...more to wash. Start steaming the veggies on the stove, save steamer for broccoli later.

By now, my 10 minute dinner has turned into a 30 minute pain in the ass of stress and remembering how to cook pre-microwave..how did we do it?

Bing Bing Bing... wtf now?

The display on the microwave woke up... PF, Power Failure. I plug it in and it works... OMG! Yippee!

Then I smack it, yep, smack the sucker and yell...

TOOK YA LONG ENOUGH!

And I still have a tons to wash....
