Everything but Kitchen Sink

I don't know how I would fit all the stuff I would want to take with me traveling on a motorcycle.
I'd be the dorky biker with a big trailer being pulled behind :D

This guy had to pack well - or maybe he didn't pack well cuz he took too much, huh?


He really doesn't have all that much... compared to other bikers i saw though, his looked over flowing.

Long line at Men's Restroom?

Hilarous to see! While traveling last week I stopped at a rest stop near the SD border on I-90. As I was heading toward the women's bathroom, a gentleman opened the men's bathroom door and was stopped in his tracks. There was a line that reached back to the door! The women's bathroom on the other hand was empty!

The reason the men's bathroom was so busy is that the Sturgis Bike Rally was going on last week. Women do attend the rally too, but I'm sure that the majority of Bikers are men. Hence, long line at the men's bathroom and empty women's bathroom.

Also, I learned that while driving on the interstate it isn't wise to get into another lane with bikers in front and behind you. They drive in "packs" and don't like to be split up.

It was interesting to see all the bikers though :)



Over-Active Automatic Toliets

Here's a quick post on a topic that I thought of while I was traveling back to SD from CA.

Now this has happened to me before the recent trip, but I think its really funny/annoying.
For the people who sit on an automatic toliet - beware! Some of these toliets flush in mid-stream! I don't appreciate the sudden "swoosh" or the bubbling beneath.

Has this happened to any of you? Do you know what I mean?

So the question also arises, Are automatic flushing toliets for the best?

Bumps

Bumps, not the mumps. Remember when there was a recent mumps spread in the Midwest earlier this year? A person's glands would swell up around his or her neck if they had the mumps.

I woke up one morning and realized that that the back of my head was hurting. This was new, kinda scary, and a matter of concern. The thought was that these bumps were glands that were swelling up to help my body fight something. We thought this for quite awhile.

But, this is what I think now it most likely was.
The bottom bone on my head was swelling from stress. Heat stress...life stress...travel stress...etc. The muscles attach to the ligaments, which attach to the bones. Well the body sees them as one unit (so the chiropractor explained to me). The muscles I suppose try to deal with the stress and pass it on to the other parts of my body.

The stress ended up at the bottom bone of my head, and affected my sleeping, thinking, and so on.

Anyways, Thanks for the prayers :) Hopefully the stretches that the chiro gave me to do will continue to help.

Laughed so hard, "almost" peed...

Evening before last, we (Tim Jr. and his parents) were sitting in the living room having a time of reading together. It was a nice time where we had our Bibles in our laps and we were discussing the Word. The conversation drifted a bit - not sure the series of topics that led to where we ended up.... But Tim Sr. mentioned, with a slight giggle, a bumper sticker they had seen earlier that day.

It stated, "I'm driving so fast because I have to go poop!"

Immediately I burst up laughing like I was "on the banks of the Hanky Panky." It became one of those Reada laughing spurts, where its hard for me to talk... and then, it becomes hard for me to breathe... and then, well, I try to stop because I realize I have the urge to go the bathroom! And well, while the tickling laughing continues paralyzing me, I try to pause and get to the bathroom.

I'm not sure what makes laughing so contagious? But it is good medicine!

Um, yes, I say "almost" peed... giggle, giggle, because, any person, (I assume mainly women here) knows what I'm talking about with the "almost." However, maybe not all people have had this experience of uncontrolable laughter mixed with full bladder syndrome.

I did make it, Whew! The "almost" did almost wet the couch. But let me tell ya a short story of my parent's experience with the uncontrolable laughter mixed with full bladder syndrome. This will be short, cuz I need to go "visit Long Beach" pretty badly right now. 'wink'-'wink'

My mom was far along in the pregancy of one of us kids, and one afternoon, she sat on my dad's lap. I think he was sitting in a recliner or something. Anyways being the silly guy he is, he started tickling my mom. Well, she had a full bladder. A sensitve, pregnant style, full bladder to be exact! Yep you guessed it: no "almost" for my mom that day. My dad suddenly started to feel a warm sensation spreading across his lap. I can so picture this event happening!!

There's another story similar to all this that I could post, but maybe later :)
I gotta go!
