Good Midweek, Blogsterville:
Today is gonna be a busy one fer yer own Bugg. First off, I have a doctor's appointment. I am kinda dreading it because I've put on some weight since my last visit. It was the holidays; what can I tell you. So I know Dr. Whalebutt (of the Callcutta Whalebutts) is gonna tear me a new one. I know he's just being concerned for my overall health and its his job and all but you'd think he'd let me slide just this once. I have often thought of pointing out the he himself is not fashion model thin but I know he'd just get all pissed and say something like (in voice of Apu) "We are not talking about ME, are we? We are talking about you. Now get out of my office you fat disgusting slob."
After this we are scheduled to take Mama out to lunch to celebrate her 80 something birthday. We gave her a choice of "fine" eateries in the area and she picked one of the local all you can shove in yer piehole buffets ( I won't mention the name but it rhymes with "baloneys'). I was hoping she'd pick that new steak house that just opened up a few months ago that everyone has been raving about but no. Ah, well. She's the birthday girl and its her choice. And we have coupons. This should be a typical Bugg family outing. We'll all be whining about how broke we are, Crazy Sis will be telling us all what a bunch of drooling idiots we are, Mama will be complaining about how fat we all are and the babies will be running around the restaurant like wild animals because you don't dare discipline yer kids in public anymore. I am actually surprised that this particular establishment hasn't banned us for life. We've eaten there a number of times in the past with babies in tow and when we left the place looked like it had been through the Blitz. Its worse now that Jetro seems to be going through a particularly bad case of "terrible twos". I just don't understand. He was such a sweet natured, mild mannered infant. But almost to the minute of his second birthday, whamo. This bratty, whiney, stubborn, headstrong, disobedient, tempermental, little monster appeared. I think space aliens must've kidnapped the real Jethro and substitued him with a pod child. I hope they bring him back soon. Now Daisy May, on the other hand, who used to act just this way, has really improved since she turned three. As long as Crazy Sis doesn't enable her bad behavior, she is learning to conduct herself in a somewhat civilized manner when dining out. She still has her moments, of course, but generally she is improving.
Hopefully, I can survive this day and return to my little abode. Cletus Meddlemyer, my landlord, is 'asposed to come over and check on the new heater. It's behaving strangely. The blower, which should shut off when the room temp gets to the set point, stays on all the time. And its blowing cool air. Its behaving like an air conditioner. Cletus assured me that this unit was a heater only as I react badly to air conditioning(it turns my sinuses into a disaster area). So he's gonna come over and have a look see. I do hope they can fix it soon else my electric bill is gonna look like the national debt. We shall see what develops.
Well, have a good rest of the week, everyone.

well i hope it all goes smoothly bugg! I love buffets too, more food for the buck with a family. plus you can really load up on the desserts.
the food is ok, but we always eat there and I'd kinda like to get my family to expand their horizons a little bit. Alas, I feel like I am wasting my breath with these people.

Dr's appointment and eats! Busy day for you. I hope that all goes well and the kids are on their good behavior. I hope that you have missed all the storms. There are more in the forecast. Here's smooth traveling to you!
it was raining pretty good earlier this morn but the sun is shining now. we are under a flood watch til later tonight. was watching CNN about those poor people caught in all those twisters down south. its just terrible.
reguards
yer I hope its over for awhile down there pal
bugg
Buggs, I hope your appointment goes well. I think Bob, JOndude and I must take some of the blame for the weight gain. All of those meetings at Bob's diner were not "Watch Watcher" as you instructed. Flo is just never gonna use substitue butter. Have a good week.
actually, I bribed Flo to flush the substitute butter (yuck ptooee) and stick with the real McCoy. so the extra lard on my carcass is my own doing. but thanks anyway to you, my loyal campaign staff, for falling on yer swords for me.

yer Dr. Whalebutt didn't buy the note, either pal

So good to hear from you and your sense of humor, dear Bugg! Happy Birthday wishes to your Mom, and maybe if you look pitiful and contrite the doc will just encourage you to mend your ways and not fuss too much. The day will probably go better than you think, at least I hope it will.
I did worry that you and yours may have been caught in the bad weather, but perhaps it passed you and your neck of the woods. Take best care....
had a bit of a downpour earlier today but its clear now. to be fair though, Dr. Whalebutt does seem pleased as punch when I do loose weight. He's very encouraging on that score.
reguards
yer backslidin' pal
bugg
well at least your dr visit is before the all you can eat :0)
Try to have a good day anyways@
yer scale hatin' friend who's not big on "big doctors" telling me I'm big lol
Gwen
if he yells at me it'll give me an excuse to eat more to soothe my hurt feelings(heh heh heh)
reguards
yer oh, how could he be sooooo cruel...I'll have the hot fudge cake pal
bugg
you will be fine and tell him to take a hike
I did.....he's still here.
He's not such a bad guy otherwise. He just has a thing about weight....other people's
reguards
yer he's right, though pal
bugg
I was told, just yesterday, that when the fan goes, it usually breaks in the on position and usually just needs a new switch.
I see Dr Duck *quack, quack* next Wednesday. I've lost 13 lbs since October but he wanted me to loose 25 by last December so I'm expecting the same lecture as you. Unfortunately, Dr Duck is fit and trim.
I hope the heater problem is something little. Cletus and Maybelleen are nice and I hate to see them out anything substantial since they were good enough to install the thing for me in the first place.
reguards
yer having nightmares about next month's electric bill pal
bugg
Well I hope you survived your lunch buggs..*hugs*
yeah it was nice. we told the restaurant staff it was Mama's birthday and she got a free dessert plus the staff came out and sang to her. I think she was impressed.
reguards
