Thank You, and Go Fuck Yourself
As of 1:30 PM today, I am no longer a resident of Connecticut. I have moved on, and am leaving it all behind, including this blog. It's been a fun ride, but it's time to put it to an end. If I'm taking you with me, you'll know where to find me soon enough. If not, thank you, and go fuck yourself!

Awesome News
Click here for some news that made me cry from laughing so hard this morning.
BTW, I've been on vacation, hence the lack of posts. I will return sometime this weekend or next week...

Comments
I'm enabling comments on this blog, mostly for Brian, who I don't talk to enough these days (totally my fault, not his).
Don't abuse this, or else I'll take it away - and if that happens expect a post about how we can't have nice things in this house.

Peanuts on your Chin
I just read an article suggesting that peanuts should be banned on airplanes. I got two paragraphs in and had to close my Web browser. Stuff like this makes me think that I'm the only rational person left in a universe that has totally gone mad.
Look, I was in elementary and high school on the 1980s, not 30 years ago. I don't remember a single person EVER having an allergic reaction to peanuts. We didn't have segregated lunch tables, or peanut free zones, and not ONE kid dropped dead of a seizure because of it.
There was no ADD back then, either. Or ADHD for that matter. Or anything that would require medicating children. When I was a kid, other kids that behaved that way were punished. Because they were acting up. For attention. Even at the ripe old age of youth I knew that these were kids with problems at home, it was poor parenting, not chemical imbalances. Nothing that couldn't be solved with a little firm parenting, some tough love, some consistency in their home lives.
I hear the argument that psychological illnesses were underdiagnosed until recently, but I'm not buying that entirely either. Especially because it doesn't explain how the human race could have suddenly developed a deathly allergy to a food product that has been consumed for hundreds of years without causing any death.
Yes, some psychological ailments (notice I don't call them illnesses) were misdiagnosed until recently - male depression, for example. But kids weren't dropping dead in droves for no apparent reason before, there's no reason to expect why they would now.
Nuts to that.
