Bored out of my gourd
August 29th, 2009 at 1:03 PM (On Ellens Mind)
I had a scooter accident last weekend and am laying on my back for a couple weeks – hard to see the laptop’s keyboard at a 180 degree angle – so I’m not writting much right now.
Something I’ve been wondering about … I’ve had 2,758 spam messages since I began this blog. Do you think that number means the blog is or isn’t popular? And, how do I determine the comment input? I’ve seen some you wouldn’t want me to display for you and others that would crack you up.
I think about those 2,758 people – many from Russia and India. Do you suppose people in foreign coffee houses are shaking their heads and saying, “That McGainey Blog is really something, isn’t it?” Now I have something else to think about … what do you suppose those people in the coffee house meant by that comment?
I’ve got nothing else … not a whole lot happening flat on my back looking at the ceiling.

Ellen…. sorry that you are going though this… but you didn’t talk about the wild rampaging duck (or goose, or moose, or rabbit, or whatever it was that caused your accident. I’m thinking that you were driving around and had to swerve into a bank robber that was trying to make a fast getaway and you were aiding the local police… *grin*

You could have Dad install a mirror above the bed so you’d have someone to wave “hi” to. Just kidding, Mom.
I hope you are feeling better. I know you bruised badly. Gotta love that coumadin. If you need anything, call me.
I love you, Wendy
P.S. Still no bras.

You know, just when you think you know who your friends are you find out who your friends arent (snicker)… you have no true sympathy for my plight. I’m not sure I’ll send you a Christmas card this year.
… and, by the way, I wish, wish, wish I could tell a great story about a run-in with a wild goose – nothing so spectacular. I wedged my front wheel between the outer edge of a parking pad on the left and a pipe fence on the right and then rode down the fence for about 5-6 feet, my right leg caught between them. Nope, that story is just too stupid to become a great war story.

p.s… itty, bitty comment about ’still no bras’ in an above comment. That’s spy code only super spies would understand. Don’t even think this blogger’s daughter would even consider making a comment about my personnal attire in an open blog … no siree, she’s smarter than that.

Judy, you are so special … and since you asked, I would like a cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate shake. I only step outside the bus on Thursday mornings when I go to the doctor and he doesn’t have a cheeseburger anywhere in his office.
Maybe we’ll be able to get to your neck of the woods this next summer and get that cheeseburger together? That would be nice.
Love you.

I think the distraction at Mac’s Green Acres was Arnold Ziffel….
Hope you’re doing much better now, Ellen.

I am, thanks for asking. Lots of family illnesses in Maryland, Alabama, and Texas for the last few months. The bestest news … Erin will have the baby any day now!
