Back From The Dead

Tuesday, August 31st, 2004

Well, the insurance company has decided that I am feeling good enough to be put out in the street, so I am now home from the hospital. I want to thank all of you for your kind words of encouragement; it meant a lot to both me and my wife. I want to take a [...]

Something funny this time

Monday, August 30th, 2004

As Nick’s surrogate blogger, I thought that I should post at least one funny item while Nick is out. So here goes…. Fellow Americans, we need your help: If you support the policies and character of George W. Bush, please drive with your headlights on during the day. If you support John Kerry, please drive [...]

Monday, August 30th, 2004

This is Rene again with more information on Nick. After spending most of the month of August in the hospital, Nick is desperate to be discharged. Two of his doctors are of the opinion that Nick should go home, however the other two doctors who are also following his care believe that he should stay [...]

3rd Update on Nick

Tuesday, August 24th, 2004

Hello, this is Rene again to give you an update on Nick. Nick was discharged from the hospital on Sunday afternoon, and we had to return him to the Emergency Room within two hours of being at home. The first night back in the hospital he spent in the ICU due to the fact that [...]

2nd Update on Nick

Friday, August 20th, 2004

Hello everyone. This is Rene again just giving you an update on Nick. He is still in the hospital and is very sick. The doctors have determined that this time around he has an entirely different type of staph infection. They are still waiting for the cultures to come back to conclusively determine the exact [...]

Update on Nick

Wednesday, August 18th, 2004

Hello, this is Rene, Nick’s wife. Nick is in the hospital again suffering from the same staph infection that placed him in the hospital last week. Yesterday he went into the emergency room with a temperature of 105 degrees, he was about as sick as I have ever seen him. After placing him on a [...]

Nancy Reagan vs. PETA

Tuesday, August 17th, 2004

PETA, which as everyone knows is a kook fringe group which is loaded with ignorant Hollywood-types, wants to use the late Ronald Reagan’s image in an ad which advocates vegetarianism to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Nancy Reagan, who quite understandably doesn’t want her husband to be associated with such trash, has not only refused permission for [...]

My Wife, the Plumber

Monday, August 16th, 2004

Last Saturday, my wife and I were out doing some errands. One problem we were having was that the toilet in the master bedroom was no longer flushing. Fooling around with the chain in the tank was no longer working, so we were looking for some replacement parts to re-do the inside of the tank. [...]

Okay, I’m Back.

Monday, August 16th, 2004

Okay, the anti-biotics have kicked in, and I’ve got that nasty little staph infection on the run. Three days of a 103 degree temperature is not fun. Blogging will commence as I start to catch up on current events. Unfortunately, I spent a lot of time in the hospital in a semi-conscience state, so I [...]

Tacos II – The Revenge

Monday, August 9th, 2004

No, I have not fallen off the face of the earth. I am back in the hospital with an infection. Blogging will continue after I am released from the hospital. Hopefully, I will be released by the end of the week. However, they have made no promises.

Tacos As A Lethal Weapon

Thursday, August 5th, 2004

After I went to my dialysis session on Wednesday, I was hungry. Usually, I eat two Pop-Tarts on the way to work and all is well. However, this time, I decided to go to a near-by fast food place and get a breakfast taco. I love these things, and have purchased many of them from [...]

Democrats Launch “Truth Squad”

Wednesday, August 4th, 2004

According to Fox News, The Democrats have formed a “Truth Squad” to counter claims made by the Bush campaign. However, it has gotten off to a shaky start: The video tells viewers that Bush lost a race for Congress while ignoring that Kerry did, too. Asked how that conveys “the whole truth,” DNC spokesman Jano [...]
