Is it unreasonable to ask your husband not to drink out of your water glass when he’s sick and you’re not?

Last night he was drinking out of my glass at the bathroom sink and was very offended that I asked him not to, especially when he’s sick. He countered that he has a sinus infection which is not contagious and besides he’s been drinking out my glass ever since he got sick and since I haven’t gotten sick, it obviously doesn’t matter.

His also said his other reason for using it is because he’s too lazy to get another from of the kitchen which is 3 feet away.

So I ask you, is it unreasonable to request he not use my glass?

First let me start by wishing everyone a blessed Thanks Giving. I hope the holidays find everyone well. I woke up at 6am and can’t get back to sleep.

As some may remember, in 1996 I took Yancy’s car keys while he was sleeping and got a DWI in his car. I found a great, and not to mention inexpensive, lawyer, Meyer Sablodowsky, who got me off scott free. I even got every penny of my $720 bond money returned to me. That was awesome (not the drinking and driving part, because that’s wiggity-wiggity-whack.)

Since that time I’ve renewed my Missouri drivers lisence twice with no problem. I’ve committed several traffic violations, including one in the French Quarter about a month before Katrina (where I was given a sobriety test and passed, thank you very much,) and had no lagal issues other than the petty tickets issued for these minor violations.

Well, in 2006 I had to renew my license. It had expired, and I wanted to rent a Dodge Charger to drive to New Orleans For my friends Nolan and Beth’s wedding. When I went to the DMV, the lady denied my renewal, telling me, in that smug, government employed way,”You got problems in New Orleans.” She gave me a phone number to call.

As it turns out, the New Orleans court system has conveniently lost the records that say I was dismissed of all charges on that DWI from 11 years ago. They have the records that say I got a DWI, but none that say it was expunged from my driving record. Because of this I can’t renew my lisence. They say it’s up to me to produce the court minutes, or some other kind of legal notice I wasn’t furnished with at the time of the trial. I have kept every record given to me regarding the case, but none of it is what they want.

First I contacted Meyer Sablodowsky, whom never got back to me, and hadn’t made any progress when I contacted him again. Mr. Sablodowsky has unfortunately passed away since then, at the ripe old age of ninety. I loved that man, and may God rest his soul.

Next I sought council from a friend’s brother, who is a lawyer in New Orleans. Since he doesn’t generally deal with traffic issues, he said he’d get to it the next time he happened to “pop” into traffic court. About year later, with nothing being resolved, I realize this guy doesn’t “pop” into traffic court very often.

I remembered a friend of mine is a lawyer in Houma, so three or four weeks ago I went to him on the issue. He said he’d pass it on to a colleague of his in New Orleans. Then yesterday the friend in Houma texted me, and said he hadn’t heard back from his colleague, and suggested I try another avenue. What the fuck?!

I’m currently unemployed and seeking work. Regardless of what kind of job I get, I’m going to be required to produce a valid drivers lisence. I’m meeting with a production company on saturday, about a production assistant position on a feature film shooting in St. Louis. They already asked if I’m comfortable driving a cube truck. I am, but I’m going to have to doctor my drivers lisence before I give it to them. I’m going to have to do this for any job I apply for until I can get some fucking help in New Orleans!

Dave, does Kevin Kelly still practice law in N.O.? Does anyone have any suggestions, or know a halfway decent lawyer? I’m sick of this mother fucking shit! Am I being tried for the same crime twice? Fuck New Orleans! Fuck FEMA for telling me to give my money back! Fuck Katrina for providing an excuse for the courts to pretend they lost my shit so they can fuck some more money out of my fucking ass!

Merry Fucking Christmas, and I’m thankful that I’ll be dead one day!

Seriously though, anyone got any ideas.

O’J.

And I quote: “This water tastes bad. Can you go out and get me different water?”

And I did.

Yeeee-Haaaaw and a happy Texas celebration going on here this weekend! Chloe Bragg and Craig ‘Cowboy’ Brevelle are finally putting on the rings this weekend after many years of lovin’ and ranch livin’.  It’s low key, it’s country, and it’s taking place at Chloe’s parents house in Bastrop.  And yes my dear Buzzards, Chloe is riding on Three Months Pregnant! She is doing fine and has a beautiful, crazy mother earth glow about her that should be bottled and sold.  All are ecstatic and anxiously anticipating the merging of Chloe’s Family with The Soileau/Brevelle family…expect nuclear tremors in the force my friends!  If any of you would like to send a card/gift to the happy couple, their address is

P.O. Box 174

Paige, Tx  78659

There will be a big ass party at the ranch sometime in the next two weeks following the wedding, in case anyone wants to make an Austin trip and surprise the lucky lady. My home is open to all wayfarers. I’ll give out more info as I get it.  Kisses to all.

I know no one cares about the NBA, but I would just like to point out that the New Orleans Hornets are 4-0. Chris Paul is God.

I was watching a news report about the fires in California. Now, god bless those people and their burning homes but, not two days into this historical disaster does Pres “fly-by” Bushwack sign a bill releasing funds to the relief effort. While he has a pen in his hand, could someone please slip him a bill to release aid to New Orleans?! two years after the fact?! Does it take a scary, funny-talking, ex-Mr. Olympia Austrian hopped up on steroids and power to get Bush’s attention? It makes me sick to my stomach. I think sums it up:

We won’t let them roll the credits on New Orleans!

You played a guitar shaped like a star

and taught us all to love again.

Kid Rock was arrested last night for getting in a fight at a Waffle House just down the street from me. I live in a pretty gay part of Atlanta, so that must mean that Kid Rock is gay. But that’s his choice :0)

In other Atlanta news, I enjoy buying clothes for girls. But, being a single man, I often find myself purchasing clothes for my friends’ wives and/or girlfriends.

For example, Leslie wanted “nice, going-out” clothes for her recent birthday. So I spent a few afternoon hours at the mall and picked out what I think Leslie would like, but not necessarily items similar to what she already wears. I would consider Leslie’s style elegant-conservative.

I went with a silky, sleeveless, chartreuse blouse that has a sequined strap across the front. The color is more yellow that green and according to the hipster Express girl is the hot color of the season. It’s probably a little more daring and trendy than Leslie normally wears, but, again, I was trying to get her something just barely different than she already has. I also picked her up silky, black, sleeveless top with black flowers at the very top. I thought it was classy and could be worn to cocktail party, coupled with a skirt and sweater.

It did, however, look a lot more like lingerie when I gave it to her in front of a bunch of people than it did in the store. So I was a little uncomfortable.

My questions are:
A) Is it appropriate for me to buying clothes for my friends’ wives/girlfriends?
B) Why do you think I like shopping for girls clothes so much?
C) How many of you, boys or girls, would trust me to buy an outfit that you had to wear to a big occasion?

Thank you for your time.

P.S. Kent … If you feel like posting pictures of the items I gave Leslie maybe that would help people with their answers.

Let’s look at pictures!

A high school student in Atlanta recently wrote a column in the school newspaper, criticizing homosexuals and even going to the extent of calling them “reproductive errors.”

For the record, I believe homosexuality is a choice; otherwise, I believe science would have discovered a common trait among gay people by now.

I understand that my belief is offensive to homosexuals. I’m not really sure why. Paul tried to explain it to me one time, but I don’t think I ever really grasped the concept.
He also tried to answer my other big question about homosexuals: If gay men like men, why do some often dress like women and act feminine? But, again, I’m not really sure of his answer.

(Disclaimer: I apologize beforehand if I’m offending anyone. It is not my attention.)

The student, Thomas Benjamin, wrote: “I realize biology commits many reproductive errors. Homosexuality can be one of them.”

Do you think homosexuality is a choice or a biological error or neither? Do you have a problem with the school paper publishing the article? Do you have a problem with me?
