Ode To Dad

I'm not really going to write an 'Ode' so to speak, but i really liked this picture of me, my brother, and my dad.

Did you know that he is the strongest dad in the world?

and did you know that my dad could probably beat your dad up?
Uh, huh!

actually, i gave some framed photos to my dad for christmas this year, and this was one of them! What was really fun, was that Josh does graphic design for Creative Music Works, and makes posters for them - for upcoming jazz shows (as well as their website! isn't he TALENTED!!!).

I thought it was pretty cool that he put this picture on his poster. He said he 'likes the 70s feel of it'.
I must say, i liked it too! So did my dad!

You can't really see the photo that well, which is the point (i guess). I think they should've done a close up of that adorable little girl in the picture. I mean, she's fabulous! I bet she'll grow up to be a MODEL!!!!


Um.....or LANDSCAPER!!!!

i knew it!

Jean-Luc Picard

Which Fantasy/SciFi Character Are You?


An accomplished diplomat who can virtually do no wrong, you sometimes know it is best to rely on the council of others while holding the reins.

There are some words which I have known since I was a schoolboy. "With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." These words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie -- as a wisdom, and warning. The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we're all damaged.

Jean-Luc is a character in the Star Trek universe. This The Next Generation fan site has an outline of his career.

Think! Damn you, THINK!!!!!

Well my talented bloggy friends! I have a challenge for you!!! Are you prepared to accept this challenge? As per my post about Josh’s job, occasionally they need ideas for t-shirts. We could make up to .10 per t-shirt if our idea is accepted. So say Target purchases 50,000 shirts, we make an easy $5000 which would be used to bring us all together for a BLOG Convention in a random city for a weekend! What do you say?
Here is the attached email Josh sent me:



hey folks,
Libi asked if we could come up with a few girls slogans in the categories that she mentions below. Think back to school theme. We need these in the next couple of days. Monday/Tuesday at the latest.
School bashing themes preferably.

I only go to school to hang out with my friends
Is it summer yet
Most likely to......
My favorite subject is recess

So that’s the challenge. Are you up to it? Maybe ask your kids, or get input from co-workers! We could make some bank on this, people!!!
Ready?
Engage!

Mi Boca es muy GRANDE!!!!


I never knew my mouth was so big!
i mean, i KNOW i have a big mouth, but i haven't seen it in action!!
WHEW!!!

This is a photo one of the waitresses at Gabor's took of me. I can't tell when it was, but Ed was there!
He looks alarmed!
Like, "Um, excuse me? Whachew talkin' bout, Willis?"
You know. That look.
Or maybe he's just thinking, "What is she taking a picture of Cassie's big mouth for?"
Don't know. But he looks like he was praying before the photo.

Hemingway -
I wonder about something.

I wonder if i can put my whole fist in my mouth if i practiced....

hhmmm....

Breaking Away = Cassie the Cutter

Well, the votes are in.
I have now retained my own personal bike trainer.
She is gonna kick my azz into gear to get ready for some hard core bike riding this summer.

I went up to FOCO for the weekend to hang out at Ed’s place with The Gang (all of whom have already seen Brokeback Mountain…..grrr….) and sat in the kitchen sipping coffee with a caramel in it (I got it out of one of those chocolate boxes – I ALWAYS pick the caramels, and I REALLY want the pure chocolate ones, since caramels anger me – too chewy) talking with Rhiannon about her brother. Apparently her brother races on a regular basis and currently just road some race out in Boulder. I expressed to her that I would like to utilize the bike I bought last year, and really get into biking, following the path of my mom, step dad, and apparently my dad, too! She was really excited. She bikes as well, but I think she does it alone. Her brother, I believe, lives in Carbondale, so not much interaction with him. She jumped all over the chance to help me get into biking shape for the summer. I think I fell off the wagon last year, cause I didn’t have anyone else biking with me, which = Cassie Lost Motivation. So THIS year, I will have a trainer to kick my azz into gear! I will also be able to drive up to FOCO with my bike to go on training rides with her, NOT in the city – which would be awesome!!!


So, as Petunia was talking about goals, I have set up a few short term goals of my own, which may or may not involve ice cubes, and pitching wedge, and a buffalo –


1. get my azz in gear and start training on my bike
2. do small training rides all summer with Rhiannon
3. do a few local rides like the Elephant Rock ride in June
4. do the MS150 in Kansas City with my mom.

I am trying to talk Rhiannon into doing this ride as well. I want to ride this with my mom, too, while raising money for my dad! I TRIED to get Josh excited about it, but he says he doesn’t want the bother of raising money. I guess I understand, since he’d be riding his cruiser. But I think it would be fun no matter what. My stepdad agreed to set up camp for us during the ride, so we don't have to! How fun is that?

So wish me luck! i have my first meeting with my own personal tomorrow night. She says she's even going to do BODY measurements!!!!

At least SOMEONE got it right!

Please read this awesome article about how singletons are viewed in movies.
I find this enlightening that someone noticed, other than me!

Modern gal: frustrated and dated
Terrorised or teased, single women on film are cast in a narrow stereotype, writes Wesley Morris.

American movies do right by a lot of things - war, westerns, young women running for their lives. The lives of single people, meanwhile, are a different story.

Bridget Jones, she of the stammering, self-doubt and face-first collapses, is what passes for a sophisticated representation of being single: the bachelorette as Jerry Lewis.

Bridget, now at The Edge of Reason, is the natural byproduct of a medium that's never quite known what to do with unmarried characters other than marry them off. Or kill them.

In 1977, when Diane Keaton went Looking for Mr Goodbar, the search ended in blood. And Julianne Moore, the ambitious and nosy friend in The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, died a grisly death as she closed in on Rebecca De Mornay's plot to conquer a suburban household. So if Bridget Jones doesn't have a husband and she's not dead, then there's only one place for her to go: crazy.


READ WHOLE ARTICLE AND RESPOND, O WOMENKIND!!!

Given Up

i was recently talking with Kurt about which movie to go see (we still haven't decided) when it came up that i was lying on the couch. He replied that he was lying on his couch as well, protecting his winter fat.
In response to this, i mentioned that i had gotten so fat this winter, my pants didn't fit anymore. i told him that i had decided to start buying those old lady pants that have the elastic waste bands.
Kurt then asked, "Why don't you just give up, and wear sweat pants?"

i laughed so hard remembering this Seinfeld Episode, i had to talk about it!!!!


JERRY: (to George) Again with the sweat pants?

GEORGE: What? I'm comfortable.

JERRY: You know the message you're sending out to the world with these sweat pants? You're telling the world: "I give up. I can't compete in normal society. I'm miserable, so I might as well be comfortable." (George is baffled)


But seriously. I'm sure everyone has seen that episode. Why do people still wear sweat pants around instead of regular pants? And why do they still wear that crappy gray jersey color?
I've seen now with girls - they buy sweat suits made of pink velour and wear them all over the place. Do you know what following this new trend is leading to? They will be those grannies that buy matching nylon sweat suits! my granny had a TON of them.

So there it is. I just don't know why people wear that crap around. Seriously. It's not stylish. It's not attractive. And if you ever watch What Not To Wear, Stacey and Clinton would tell you to throw that crap away, and get into a great pair of jeans and some pointy heels!!!

i heart quizilla

Your Gay even if this quiz isn't true you might like the same sex...
HASH(0x8b6e458)
Are you gay?

brought to you by Quizilla
This has got to be the goofiest quiz on quizilla. i know kids make these things up - but i LOVED this one! It's so silly!!! Just think. After taking this quiz with only 3 possible answers, you can determine if you're gay. Whew. Good thing i found out. Now i can go to 4th period and make out with the cheerleaders!
funny funny funny!!!

Hawttie Mountain

I want to see Brokeback Mountain. Unfortunately for me, all of my gay crew have already seen it. Guess who went with them? You got it – Josh. So now I have no one to see it with. Boo on me.
I usually go to movies once a week with Kurt. It’s been our tradition for over a year, now. I love seeing movies with Kurt. If they are bad enough, I know I can talk through them and make fun of them with him. It’s great. We usually like the same movies.

Except when I brought up Brokeback Mountain. I didn’t quite get the response I wanted when mentioning it to him:

Let's see... gay cowboys vs. giant city-wrecking gorilla. Hmm...I'm leaning
toward the giant monkey movie
.


See what I mean? I mean, he’s secure in his sexuality, and he LOVED Donnie Darko. So what’s the big deal? Josh said this movie was good, and the critics think it’s great! But if I ask Kurt to see it again? I don’t foresee much difference in his response.

So alas. I will have to see something else. Any suggestions?

Kills All Known Cassie - Dead

Check out this site!
Put in your name, and comment what your random slogan generator spits out!!!!

The Fowah Yutes.....


Josh's brother, John, drinking some strange bean concoction at the vietnamese restaurant we went to. It was brown with seawead and something that looked like mushrooms. Sweet-tasting, but only good for 1 sip! Yikes!


















John's apartment in Chinatown, complete with a Chinese drying rack. Someone sure like bikini briefs, although i'm not sure it's John......

















Another sign i saw just hanging up in Chinatown. I loved it!!! i especially like that they wrote below, 'Say it out loud'.







John and my stepsister, Leigh Ann, in front of the 'Dream Come True Fancy' beauty salon in Chinatown. I just love how chinese just doesn't quite translate correctly!

And what Chinatown trip would be complete without a picture of roasted ducks with full intact heads and eyes hanging in the window of a rotisserie!

Ahh.....Good Times.....Good Times......

More to come!

The Tree Yutes....


The Cafe Bonjour -
Which served mediterranean food, with all Hispanic workers.
















My Step Sister in the bathrooms above the Cafe Bonjour.

They were REALLY ...um...unique!









An interresting sign in ChinaTown.
I thought it was pretty funny.
Yikes!
I guess this is where a lot of the cabbies come from! Not to mention the Asian Bus Gangs Josh's brother told us about!








Parking in ChinaTown.
4 Cars high, people!!!

The Two Yutes....


So i lied about writing a post about NYC last night. I came home, made dinner, and vegged out instead. i leave the longer post (and reading/commenting on everyone's) for tonight when Josh goes to a poker game.

So today, i am periodically going to upload some of the pictures i took in NYC. Unfortunately, one of my rolls of film got messed up, and was unable to be put onto a CD (which just means the crappy lady at the Wegman's grocery store in Allentown, PA didn't know what she was doing!).

Let me just say that NYC was wonderful! I had so much fun!
We arrived in Times Square, went up to Central Park, went back down to Rockefellar Square and Center, Crystler Building, Empire States building (we didn't go up), Public Library, and then took the subway down to China Town, where we hit Little Italy and Soho. We also hooked up with Josh's brother, John, and ate at a vietnamese restaurant.

IT RAWKED.
I also bought a Prada handbag for $20! The guy on the corner seemed legit enough -
Legit enough for me to haggle him down from $30! Wi-Hoo!!!
Okay. 'Nuff said.
On with the slide show!!!





The New York Public Library (i took a lot of panoramic shots on my point and click camera - that's why the black lines are still in the pic! - i'm telling you, that lady didnt' know WHAT she was doing in the photo lab!)








Grand Central Station
It was friggin' cool!















The Chrystler Building

















Empire State Building
















More to come!!!!!

Isn't my mom beautiful?

Here is my mom at a Christmas party with her hippie friends from high school.

Look how all the men flock to her!!! I used to be sitting on that piano bench you can see in the photo below - until i got pushed out by all the dudes wanting to talk to her!!!

Geez! It's so hard being beautiful!!!!

That guy who wrote a book about my mom was there, too. My mom told me he said, "I was hoping you would be here. You're my muse!"

WOW.

Anyways, I will post about my trip later tonight.....

Best.Fortune.Evar.


I will post all about my trip tonight when i have more time, but while we wait -
This was the fortune i got last night while eating WONDERFUL chinese food with Josh:



If you think nobody cares if you are alive, try missing a couple of car payments

From the Rockies to the Poconos


Alright, folks. Here are a few photos we took on our journey to PA from KC. We were going to take a whole bunch, but as you can imagine, there isn't much to see from I-70. I did my best to get as interresting as i could.



This is my dad in the parking lot of the Hampton Inn in Village West, KCK.

Please note: We got the U-Haul with the space ship. Even my dad knows how much i like sci-fi.





This is a picture of me. Please note: My brother's Honda is actually pushing the U-Haul on this journey!













This is a photo of the first rest area we stopped at.


C'mon, folks! There are slim pickins across the midwest!!!











This was scary, scary, scary. If any of you do not understand what Bible Belt means, look no further than Illinois.

Yikes. That sucker was HUGE too......
Probably 4 stories high!!!!







And to reiterate my point: My Favorite Sign

WOW.

More updates to come.

Will Santa be able to find me?

Well friends, I’m leaving tomorrow for the Big KC! For those of you who would like to hang out while I’m in town, I would love to!!! I know we’re all busy, but I plan on seeing A-ron for an evening, so anyone who wants to tag along should come (Laura, Heather, this means you!!!)
After being in KC for a couple days, I will make my way to St. Louis. The city of the arch – where my best friend, Ambo will be waiting for me with open arms – and a bottle of booze – right?
And then off to glorious PA, where I know no one, but will have a marvelous time driving for 2.5 days and chatting it up with my pa, and my new iPod! My brother and stepsister will be out there as well, so maybe there can do some much needed bonding.
Ahh…..
Good Times, Good Times. I know it will be over before it began, but I can’t wait to go!!!

As I make this closing post, I want to wish everyone Happy Holidays – except Amber, whom I fart in your general direction (in honor of her sentiments) and will come back to blogger with many wonderful tales of adventure in the Big A.

Happy Holidays SEE Quine, Denny, Jason, Jade, Laura, Heather, Caffenator, Totalvo, bt, Kurt, Dilaram, Master Shadow and of course, A-ron!!!

NYC = ME ME ME


Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it, New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
And make a brand new start of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps
To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap
These little town blues
Are melting awayI'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York, New York.
I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps

Yessiree!!!! I am getting ready for Christmas!!! I am working like a mad woman to get my gifts together, my bags packed and ready to rock and roll for the Christmas Holidays!!! So as most of you may know, I will be going home to KC on Friday. As much as I haven’t been around blogging in the last week, I almost guarantee only 1 or 2 posts while I am away for Xmas Vaca! Why, you ask? Well, with the entire forced holiday week off unpaid, I don’t plan on sitting around eating bon bons in the freezing Midwest. I plan on freezing my tail feather off on the East Coast! After Christmas, I am going on a road trip with my dad out to Pennsylvania! He lives in Allentown, and we are moving my stepsister out there in a U-Haul! (which is why it is IMPERITIVE I get my iPod ready for the 2.5 day drive!!!!) Many of you know this plan has been in the works for months, but what you may NOT know, is that my dad and I are going to NYC for a few days!!!! I am so EXCITED!!!!!! I can’t wait to see EVERYTHING!!!! Okay, so maybe I can’t see EVERYTHING in 2 days, but I want to see a lot!!! Does anyone have any suggestions of things I CAN’T miss?

7 Days to Go!!!!

Well, I am excited about Christmas! I know, I know, ENOUGH ABOUT CHRISTMAS, ALREADY!!!!

Well Bah Humbug on YOU!!!
I got all of my Christmas shopping done over the weekend, and I feel pleasantly happy with my shopping choices. I think all involved will find my gifts pleasant and warm.

I was a little upset with the gift I gave Josh. He wanted an external hard drive, so we went to B*** B** to purchase one (I will not advertise for anyone, except who is on my own Christmas list). What ruffled my feathers, put my panties in a wad, and stuck a tropical fruit up my azz, was the fact the above mention item was advertised at one price, but then sold at another. Why, you ask? It is all due to ‘rebates’. Now, initially, I would not buy a product with a rebate – but the guy at B*** B** told us we could fill out all the information online! “Online? Cool!” It meant no mailing off receipts! No cutting out UPC codes! I would receive my $ back faster, right? Wrong. We got home to send in for the $150 rebate, and of course it wasn’t that simple. One rebate online was through B*** B**, while the other was through the manufacturer. At first, this daunted me only a little – but who cares! One more screen to fill out? No problem. The B*** B** rebate was completed and sent of within minutes! But as I clicked on the link to the manufacturer’s rebate, the only thing that popped up at a first glance was an address! Yep! You guessed it, I have to mail in the friggin’ UPC and wait for an additional 6-8 weeks for processing. Hooray.
Looks like I’m out $150 until March.

But on a lighter side, I already got my Christmas present from Josh! It’s a new iPod for my road trip out to the east coast! I’m so excited! It’s black with a black FM tuner!
AND…
My dad got me a pretty swanky gift too! I can’t wait to get it!!!!!

My Wish List


Hello friends.

I have spent the evening trying to decide what i wanted for Christmas (for anyone who wants to get me something!). I tried to find a myriad of prices, so hopefully there is a little something for everyone!

My Christmas List
just cut and paste my email to view my wish list:
dr.teeth@killbots.com

Happy Shopping!!!

and p.s.
i highly suggest you do this every year! it really cuts down on getting crappy gifts you have to 'regift'.
p.p.s.
and no, i'm not just ASKING people for gifts with this post, but my family reads my blog (although you wouldn't know it since they never COMMENT!!!!) and they have asked me to fill out a 'wish list' and send it to them. i figured i'd post it, so if i could not only tell them what i want, it would make them possibly COMMENT on my blog!!!!!!!!!!!
p.p.s.s.
Thanks mom and dad! Can't wait to see you on the 23rd!

Office Party Madness

Well friends, it is getting to be that time of the year again:
You got it. The Holidays. Which equal the dreaded:
Office Christmas Parties



I've just read a wonderful article from the BBC News that might help you out by giving you some good advice.

This year, we will be holding this blessed event at our offices.
Now, I know that most Christmas parties are held in the office, but for the last few years, we have had a nice dinner at a hotel banquet hall. After all, what kind of Christmas party do you have at a landscaping company? I mean, most of the time, we go out to the local sports bar, and somehow end up at the titty by 11:30! So I’m not really sure what has been going on in the minds of the owner and his wife. Sure it will be catered, but where on earth will we all sit? We have 1 conference room that could POSSIBLY fit everyone, but we are supposed to bring a guest! How is that going to work? I’m thinking I will have to sit on Josh’s lap just to eat my mashed potatoes! (cross your fingers, I HOPE they have mashed potatoes!). It all seems very odd to me. Apparently there will be no booze this year (as there were years in the past). Maybe they are relying on the employees to drink on their own dime someplace else.
This makes me a little mad. The last couple years, we had a 2 drink limit that the company paid for. I thought this was very nice. But since they cancelled the summer employee appreciation picnic (what does THAT say?) I foresee the cheap factor looming up. So no nice dinner, no booze, and no clean chairs to sit on. It’s a wonder we are a 20 million dollar company.
Then again, maybe they just don’t want everyone to get drunk and have a loose tongue.
I still say boo. I want my company party to be worth it, dammit!
Ah well. At least I will be able to mosey over to the local sports bar with the other drunks! Maybe later we will end up at the Grizzly Rose riding the mechanical bull, like last time!!!

Funny Joke

I know i've forwarded this joke to most of you, but i thought it was pretty funny!

A woman and a man are involved in a car accident on a snowy, cold Monday morning; it's a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of them are hurt. God works in mysterious ways.
After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, "So....you're a man. That's interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but we're unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days".
Flattered, the man replies, "Oh yes, I agree with you completely, this must be a sign from God!"
The woman continues, "And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune."
Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it and drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle and immediately puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man.
The man asks, "Aren't you having any?"
The woman replies, "No. I think I'll just wait for the police...."

Best Presesnt Evarrrrr!!!!!!!!

Amber, you have really outdone yourself.
You are the bestest friend in the whole wide world.

Amber actually wrote Planetdan (whom i love and will marry - while at the same time be married to Jack Black - i'm sure neither will mind) and told him to send me a birthday email.





Is that not the coolest fucking thing in the world?
If you can't read it, here is the skinny -

I heard it was your birfday. Someone told me I should say hello and stuff and that would make you happy, as if it would be like getting a telegram from a celebrity or something, but I am not a celebrity. I'm just some dude in minneapolis. But I'm still happy that you are 28, so good luck until 29.

planetdan.


seriously, folks. Is that not awesome?
Is Amber not the bestest friend in the whole wide world?
Planetdan is my favorite blog. I have been reading him for almost 2 years now, and i have decided to put him on my marrying list right next to Jack Black, Johnny Depp and Bruce Campbell. I mean, c'mon. Isn't he dashing?



I am just all teary eyed. Just like i was when he put me in his 2004 Halloween Gallery. The greatest day of my life.

Okay. Getting a little weird here.

But seriously, Amber. That was the best gift ever. Thank you!

character in the book. He is part of the
Greasers gang and lives with his two brothers.
His parents died in a road accident and he is
loyal to the Greasers although he is clever and
likes school. He hates the Socs, or Socials,

Don't forget to hang up yr sock!

Since i was ill last week, i ended up staying in all weekend.
So what did i do? Put up a 'HOLIDAY TREE'.
heh heh heh. Who am i kidding....
I got a friggin' Christmas Tree!!!!
HOORAY!!!!




I love Christmas. It is so much fun. Every year, my mom and I buy each other ornaments, and swap pictures of our trees. This year, Josh took a slew of my Nativity Scene, which i inherited from my grammy. What's funny about the Nativity Scene, is that for years I remembered it as a glorious piece of Grammy History (which it was, don't get me wrong), but i laughed histerically as i unwrapped the pieces i haven't seen since before she died in 1998. The 'upgraded' Mary, Joseph and Jesus are all bigger than the rest of the figures. When i told my mom this, she said my grammy always believed that those were the most important figures, so they had to be bigger than the others. I laughed pretty hard, but then Josh agreed, and said it was the same in most renaissance paintings. Okay. I'll go along with that. But what about the fact that when you turn the 'upgrades' over, you see a black crayon mark that says $.59 on each figure! I laughed even harding thinking that my grammy got her 'upgraded' nativity figurines at the thrift store. If you knew her, you would know this is just like her.




All in all, it was a nice weekend, but i am ready to get schnookered on Wednesday for my 28th b-day. i'm going a little stir crazy in my house!

Am I the only one who remembers this show?




Did anyone else ever watch this kid's show? I remember it was on Channel 41 in the mornings, and my brother and I loved it. I also remember the actors on the show wearing rainbow clothing or something. When did they stop making silly shows like this?

I think this guy's name was Baxter.



It's the Great Space Coaster. Get on board.
On the Great Space Coaster. We'll explore.

A comet ride of fantasy
To a place where dreams are fast and free
With new friends and new things to see
We'll spin you through the galaxy

On the Great Space Coaster. Oh-oh-oh.
On the Great Space Coaster. Off we go.

Get on board, step inside, soarin' on a magic ride.
Roarin' towards the other side where only rainbows hide.

On the Great Space Coaster (Oh-oh oh)
On the Great Space Coaster (Get on board)
On the Great Space Coaster (Get on board)
On the Great Space Coaster
Off we go!

Long Strange Trip

Well, i finally realized why i look so weird i so many of my pictures. I have come to the conclusion that i need glasses.

I know!!! ME???? GLASSES????

Why would i want to hide my cute face?

Heavy Sigh.

Everyone in my family wears glasses except me. I thought i was unique because if this. I thought of all the crappy traits i have received from BOTH sides of the family, this ONE thing i lacked was a bonus. A plus. A reason to celebrate!

But lo -

I am cursed just like the rest of my family.

No flying fighter jets for me.

My days of swimming in a pool, and being able to see at the same time are over.

No more wearing whichever sunglasses I want.

Guess i'll kiss taking photos without glare in them goodbye.

Man.

I will have to get used to wearing my glasses instead of those stylish protective eye gogles when i'm doing chemistry experiments.

I'll have to get used to being able to read streetsigns at a long distance.

I will have to learn enhance my reflexes after someone pulls a 3 Stooges on me and tries to poke me in the eyes. I will now learn to grab their nose and slap it off instead of cringing in pain since my glasses protected the initial onslaught.......

Whew. I got a long road ahead of me......
