a fragment floozy

Every Friday in the blogland woods of Wisconsin, Mrs. 4444 provides a place to spread our tasty brain crumbs (fragments) so that others may follow.

ain’t no floozy because she flosses frequently

I completed my scheduled teeth cleaning (if I start lose them does the cleaning get cheaper?) with a passing grade. "How often do you floss?" Being in a dentist chair and coming from a lovely dental assistant I’ll accept that very direct question. My honest answer (not often) just gets a me a series of reasons why being on the low floss path of life is dangerous. Two good things: 

1. I had the same good humored assistant last time.  
2. I paid attention and my memory playback worked.

I was able to answer with her next reason before she provided it. All good reasons but we agreed that guys can just be stubborn. I do enjoy her humor. My next cleaning was pushed into 2013 and she remarked, “if we are still around”. We then joked about the 2012 end-of-the-world prediction. A few laughs and clean teeth - what more could an old guy expect?

Blogging Sabbatical or who has time to blog with twitter, FB and G+. 

Could be a seasonal thing, a blogging flu, or a blog allergies. It just seems there has been a slow down around here. Even fewer clowns than normal lately. Do you hit the publish button and think “that post should get a response”? I felt that way about my previous post.

easy to chill in the winter

Damn I just wrote a check for too much so we could chill a little in our house this summer. The old air conditioner’s condition was not very airy. I often wish I could keep a little heat from the summer for the winter and a some winter coldness for the summer. That would be a nice balance don’t you think? Just doesn't work that way. I might post about my failed attempt of a fix but for now I’ll just share a picture of the unit’s wiring I captured so that I could remember how the wires went back together. (I should photoshop in a ticking clock for more drama)

Put a little manic mustard on my hot dog please

I was dragged by my wife into a Costco the other day. Alright, she really can’t drag me anywhere since that would require a heavy equipment operator’s license. She enticed me with the idea of enjoying a Costco hot dog. Have any of you tried a Costco hot dog? It was a steamed hot dog whose appeal is price. 

I’m not giving up my favorite hot dog stand for a warehouse hot dog. The Costco experience exemplifies the American consumerism. We want bigger packages of stuff for less. We love to join any type of club. I really thought I would see more big SUVs there since the over-sized packages need a truck to haul home. 

Oh almost forgot - I added a slideshow treat for all bottom of the page scrollers. Scroll down for a look. (proofreading provided by C. F. Eyecare)
