the jefke gets some disturbing news from the doctor….
…..”cholesterol is 212? what the fuck? i can’t eat onion rings and egg crossandwiches everyday anymore? this sucks!”
tune in to find out how he handles this devestating news….
yep, that’s right, the free ride is over. for almost 31 years, i have been thumbing my nose at the establishment, rolling in fried foods, eating to my heart’s content, with playful disregard for cholesterol or anything else… well my friends, it seems that will have to change. as it goes, i’m still not even in the high zone, just in the boarderline high zone. and given that my main source of carido exercised is daily ping pong and weekend yard work, i’m acutally happy with results. so it appears that i need to cut out the fried foods, i so love, er well at least cut back. which isn’t a big deal. when i was working from home i didn’t even had access to them, i’m just not good with the temption of working in a town that has every possible fast food chain.
MORE importantly, my liver and kidneys are fine–normal–not abnormal or about to fail or anything. mwhwahahahaha! I win!
Bartender, another round for my friends Mr. Buffalo Wing and Ms. Blooming Onion, it’s a going away party. OH and get Senior Jalopenos Popper another Corona, i won’t be seeing him for awhile.
in all honesty, i’m in my 3rd week of a moderately successful, “no booze during the week” program. I can’t say i don’t miss it, cuz i do, but there are some upsides–for one, i haven’t been to a liqour store since 4/2, 19 days. damn i should get a chip for that or something. That’s right kids, i’m turning my life around. er , well ok, um maybe not all that around.

I am with you on the cholesterol stuff jeff…I am at 208 as well. What a dissapointment for me, no more bad foods. Oh yeah and more exercise. I must say that I have acquired a taste for edamame (blanched soybeans) so that is helping a bit in the salty area. Good luck on replacing the good stuff with healthy stuff.
I must say that I really miss cheese though. And eggs. Oh well.
19 days and no liquor store? Wow. I bet that you can make it 30 my friend. Replace all that booze with good ‘ol h2o and you’ll be taking care of some real business. Or so I have been told. Too bad that h2o isn’t as fun. Whoever had a good time pounding a few glasses of water?
Oh well….good work on doing a 1/4 turn on your life. Keep it up.

It’s your own fault for wanting health insurance so badly. Your quest for teh health insurance came at a price of your blissful ignorance.

foosball anyone? We have a foos table at work. A nice one too. Funny what IT geeks will chip in for.
We had darts too, but someone wrecked it. Thankfully it was a soft-tipped one, otherwise that would have resulted in a hospitalization.
Pong would be cool, as would pool. But my all time favorite is…….
Bubble Hockey
yup super chexx hockey is the best. Too bad its so expensive for a game. Alas….for the rec room once I get a bigger house.
