Years ago I worked in retail doing stock room work. My days were spent lifting heavy furniture, stocking shelves, and unloading freight trucks. Back then I worked in the mall, a brutish hell hole of humanity where lives are dragged through the misery mud of other peoples success. Stare deep in to our eyes and feel the pain of being chained to the phrase "The customer is always right." for only minimum wage and see if you keep your sanity.
So when I went over to Cracked.com I found this handy dandy Mall Survival Guide. It's good, really good.

TSA Goes for the Gold
No criminal record for father and son? *Check*
Father has proper identification? *Check*
Son has legal last name that is different from Father? *Check*
So pretty much model citizens are detained for over 18 hours by the TSA for being too clean.
Nifty story I must say.
(With disturbing bonus picture of two TSA guys and the kid.)

Changes...
Life is full of change, if it wasn't it'd be boring. That said my life changed drastically in the past two months and in one way it sucks and in another the optimist in me is looking at this new chapter in life with a little excitement.
My leg is feeling better somewhat.I've been moving around a lot more other then sitting and doing the computer thing constantly. Morning and evening meetings with the horse unit and a dash of evening stall cleaning is helping me lose weight. Up side!
Today I put together four new dining chairs for my mother. I went through my Dad's tools and found a socket wrench and and 1/2" socket and an hex head socket attachment which let me whisk those chairs together in no time. Those cheap tools they give you with the chairs SUCK.
On another note, I miss my Dad since he passed away. It would have been really great to have him there to tell me where the socket wrench was for the two attachments I found first. Could have saved me a half hour of searching.
Also on another another note, I'm going to have to clean up and organize my Dad's tools. I did manage to find that he had a laser level. He was high tech and didn't tell me. >_>

It's finished...
Today was the funeral for my Father. It's sinking in that my life is a bit emptier then normal these days. My Father knew how to give to others. I just wish he knew how to give a little more to himself by asking for help more so he'd still be here to give to others.
I had the best damn father I ever could have gotten. I'm very thankful for the time I had with him. I will miss him.
My left leg is sore, glad I'm going to the doctors on Friday for a checkup after that viral infection.

Remembering is all I can do now..
I couldn't have asked for a better father, he overcame my grandfathers alcohol problems and grew in to the greatest Dad I could ever hope to get.
He always pushed to do better and his work ethic showed it by working 10-16 hour days for 6 or 7 days a week sometimes even in to his 60's. He pushed himself so my mother could have as good a life she could possibly get with her health problems.
I've always been proud of my father and always will be.
Rest in peace Dad.
:(
