It’s Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiday.
Normally I would be incredibly happy, but I am going to go back to work today.
Some of you have read about my plight this week.
My feud with the pizza place…my cracked ribs…my son trying to conjure up a Science Project at the last minute.
Well, let’s recap.
Cassano’s CALLED and gave us an additional $20.00 credit.
So, we have not only the $20.00 gift certificate, we now also have an additional $20.00 worth of free Cassano’s pizza.
I want to give a HUGE shout out to Kate at Cassano’s for calling me and making things right. THAT my friends is customer service.

Kate was top notch, and I will relay that observation to the Corporate office as well.
And, as I said, even in spite of the conundrum…Cassano’s makes a great pie. (Sorry Bill, but I like their’s too.)
My ribs? Not so good. But, I now I have a compression thingy, courtesy of Drive-By Mike, so things will be what they will be.
I’ll just have to suck it up and sling the beer.
Lastly, my kid’s Science Fair project, in which he waited far too long, and in my injured state, I helped him with yesterday…
In spite of himself and his procrastination, he was in the top 5 and he and his project will be going to the county-wide Science fair.
In fact, with a few adjustments he was told by the judges, he may have come in First Place.
However, I am not overly happy, because he could have done so much more and we (and yes, I said we) pulled this thing off with smoke and mirrors.
Don’t get me wrong, he did most of the work, but I stayed on his ass, and even in my injured state, berated him yesterday, in order to finish the damn thing.
He’s 14.
Never again, will I help to save his ass in this manner. I just hope his Mom, who agrees with me, will have the strength enough to do the same.
Sounds easy, but it ain’t. You want to do all you can. Whenever you can.
Wish me and my ribs luck at work today.
Cheers!!
P.S. A Valentine’s song for all of you fine women (and you too, Phfrankie). Have a great, and hopefully sweet ass Valentine's weekend all.

I'm glad that Kate came through for you! I still say you should've gotten free pizza for life. Did she know who you were?!?!
Happy Valentine's Day , and good luck with the ribs.
oh c'mon
he is only fourteen
you at the very LEAST four more science projects
of course you will do this again.
be careful working...don't make it worse.
You're ribs are still broke? I thought those things healed in like a day or so. Well, don't do anything stoooopid at work.
Glad the pizza joint made things right. Now we can all bring some beer over and have a party!
^5 on the pizza follow thru!!
Juts a heads up on the ribs hun.. When I broke mine the Dr. told me they don't wrap ribs anymore due to it can cause pneumonia from not taking deep enough breaths.
Thank goodness Kate made things right! Let's just hope the next time you call they can find your credit - or you'll own the joint soon!
And regarding Ryno, is this where I tell you your helicopter is hovering terribly low?
CrAzY: Ha. Thay should know shouldn't they. Happy V-Day to you as well. Cheers!!
Kat: I know there will be more. I'd rather not work at all today, but can't afford not to. Cheers Kat!!
Jay: I 'll try to act like an adult today. And pizza or not you're welcome to come up and slam a few back anytime. Cheers!!
Cheesy: I need something. Anyhoo, being the smoker I am, my breathing is pretty damn shallow anyway. Cheers Cheesy!!
Dana: Ha. I have already thought about them not having record of it.
As for the close air support over Ryno, that pretty much applies only in the area of academices. We don't crowd too much in other areas. Cheers!!
Please don't get me started with the kid and academic battles. You know I'm in the same pain.
As to the ribs, I'll trade you the ribs for my current woes. At least your ribs will heal as long as you don't pull anymore jackass stunts.
I'm thinking once you cash out at Cassano's, you should just stick with Pizza Bill. You, reliability and all.
...are you insinuating that I may have feelings of man-love for Bryan? If so, please note that I am blissfully, hopelessly and exclusively heterothexual...
Songbird: Yeah, I'll always stick with Bill but Cassano's is goooood too. And they were very good with getting back with me.
As for my ribs? They're painful, but I put it in perspective knowing that a woman I have I known for years was diagnosed as having pancreatic and liver cancer just yesterday. Prognosis? Not good.
Cheers!!
Phfrankie: Not at all, I was indicating that I love for you. Cheers!!
mateo - I am sorry to read of your friend's diagnosis...spend time with her now if you can.
Kat: The sad thing is that she has been losing weight for 2 months and they couldn't find the cause. And then over the last two days and yet another battery of tests, they discovered both her liver and pancreas were cancerous.
Same thing happened to my oldest brother. Couldn't find anything wrong and then Bang...found cancer.
Cheers Kat!!
That's crappy news about your friend. My mom died of the same thing, so I can relate to the feelings her loved ones must be having.
I am so sorry about your friend---make time.
Ryno is bright and talented--he just might need a wake up call about focusing those things. Good luck sugar
*hugging softly*
Excellent! Looks like there's enough pizza for ALL of us now!
Shall I bring the lesbians and beer? :)
HVD!
I think it's OK at 14 to need to be nudged a bit - especially when it comes to school
Please take care of the ribs. Walk softly - and watch your big stick
it's Friday the 13th - good things will happen
Songbird: These things happen my bro died of colon cancer. Cheers!!
TB: Yep, he's smart as hell he just chooses not to apply his smarts in all aspects of his life. Thanks. Mmmmm. Cheers TB!!
RLL: Oh helllllll yessssssssss. Bring em on!! Happy V-Day to you too. Cheers Sexy!!
Dianne: Ha. I don't think I have to worry about tripping over my "big" stick anytime soon. Cheers Di!!
...still smacks of man-love...
Phfrankie: And is that so wrong? Cheers!!
WOO HOO Ryno, no I did not say hoo haa! Wondering, is he able to make the suggested changes for the fair? Hmm a compression thingy, I coulda... Have a safe day at the office Matt-man, sling it with care.
Lu: Thanks Bay-Bee. I shall be careful. And what are you saying? You wanna compress me? Mmmmmmm. Cheers Lu!!
See...Mike Tyson provided just the right leverage over at Cassano's for ya! Sorry about the ribs dude! Now you can relate to last year when I broke three of them in Sun Valley and toughed it out to ski with them broken for the next three days because I was too stubborn to let it ruin the trip. I came back home white as a ghost after that. Ribs...they're not just what's for dinner anymore...
Every time my kids did this to me I swore that I'd never help them again. Of course, I did. I'm such a sucker. Hold to your guns. If you can.
Another Bagwine ro-man-ce of man love.
Phfrankie and Mat-Man sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g!
Ha Ha
Dude...sorry about my absence this week...hope the ribs are coming around...good job with Cassano's...so very often, if you just deal with a company logically they make amends.
Now really...a 14 year old who waited until the last minute to do a school project??? call Ripley's cause ya gotta BELIEVE that happened!
Happy Valentine's Day..I am crushed you dedicated it to Phfrankie and not me...you two-timing scumbucket...
...no, it is not so wrong...in fact, I'm feeling all tingly now....
...and Mic: don't be such a jelous guy.....
Ok first off gotta go all Nurse Rachet on your ass. The biggest concern with bruised/cracked/broken ribs is pneumonia. So much as it hurts you need to stop and really think about taking as deep of a breath as you can SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.
Second, sorry about your friend =(
Third, you will too do more science projects :P
Hang in there with the ribs. Leaning out that window can't be fun.
