Pet Things

By The Man

For those of you who do not know, I am an avid collector of animals. I have had to scale back since moving to a more modest home, but I still have four dogs. Two Jack Russel terriers, a dachshund and a Boston Terrier. Whenever I go out on a long trip, I have to hire someone to make sure they are well kept. I swear, I end up paying more to make sure my dogs are taken care of than I do on myself. The cost of pet supplies is just enormous. I end up paying about $50 a day on my pets when I’m gone and about $7 on myself for a cup of coffee and muffin in the morning.

Vacation Time

By The Man

Well, every July I get to take a three week vacation. Usually I end up staying at home catching up on all the movies I missed out on, but this year I have been looking to take luxury vacations. After all, I have made a great deal of money this year but it has been highly stressful I can imagine relaxing at a distant spa. All my coworkers are encouraging me to take care of myself because I deserve it. I am just not sure if that’s a good sign or not.

Medicine

By The Man

As always, doctors are among the top targets for lawsuits. Every slip of the wrist or scalpel left in someone’s abdomen is another lawsuit just waiting to happen. That is why whenever they wheel you off to surgery nowadays, they have to physically mark which limb it is they are going to perform surgery on. That is also why medical id is become more prevalent. That way there is no question and no possibility for mixups.

Kitchen Improvements

By The Man

Before I go on that trip to Mexico I was telling you guys about, I thought I’d make some improvements around the house. Laborers and parts manufacturers are giving out their best deals in years just to be able to do business. That’s why I thought it’d be a good time to get new kitchen faucets installed. That way, I can have them gleaming in the window so intruders will come in and activate my home monitoring. Then, I can watch them go to jail! I love having money in the down economy.

Home Security

By The Man

As a member of the upper middle-class, there are things I have to worry about, such as home invasion. My luxury vase collection could fetch hundreds if stolen. I already have the classic barbed wire fences and alarm systems, but these don’t set my mind at ease enough. The Desert Eagle under my pillow helps, and so does alarm system monitoring. That way whenever I leave I can keep an eye on my house. Anything to sleep soundly.
