I’ve been dealing with medical and school issues since oh-dark-thirty this morning.  I could sit down and write out a good post…..but instead, I think I will drink, and then curl up and stop moving for a while.

So in lieu of a meaningful and well-thought out post I’ll just go ahead and put out this opportunity:

I met these people at a job fair for veterans. If you, generic or someone you know could use their services it would probably be worth checking them out.

The Vet Center offers free readjustment counseling for combat veterans and their families. A service of the Department of Veterans Affairs, Vet Centers are located outside the hospital in a storefront community environment and are openly accessible without an appointment through the VA system. Vet Centers also offer counseling for bereavement and sexual trauma.

Oops, fixed HTML error. You can read the whole post now.

I thought about this before I read a recent post of Skippy’s. Actually, I thought about something similar a while back (see the entry on boiling gasoline). This is an attempt to remember and pass on my own lessons learned the hard way.

1. Dogs and people both die. Love them anyway and be nice to them when you can so you don’t regret it when they die.
2. Always wear long pants. This is because white athletic socks can get snagged on barbed wire electric fences. This is bad because you can wind up face down trying not to get shocked. There are also briars out there; also, it’s gross when hogs sniff your bare legs.
3. It’s better to put feed on the ground and lead a hog to where you need it to go than to get behind it and beat it with a stick. This may be applicable to people as well; said application is probably more complex.
4. “Pick up leaves, children. Pick up leaves.” I’m going to generalize this saying to: we should be productive and not let valuable resources go to waste.

Today I had pregnancy issues*, homework, and a small but paying graphic design job. And so as I look over at the half written post I have in the corner, as it cries and wastes away due to neglect, I am find myself forced to go “Movie night.”

*Specifically my wife, had pregnancy issues. I tried to convince her that those issues did not necessarily need to concern me. That went about as well as you might expect.**

** Ow.
