Mcfarlane's Toys is always on the cutting edge when it comes to producing sports action figures. I have several in a collection of greats at my office: Jim Brown, Ahman Green, Bart Starr, and way too many of old man Favre. And just because Jared Allen makes public appearances in cutoffs and cowboy boots doesn't mean that he is gay either. Not that there's anything wrong with that.Now, just less than a week from the Viqueens latest choke job, they have already introduced the new Adrian Peterson Action Figure! By the way, there is no truth to the rumor that Peterson and Favre are opening a bakery in Edina featuring nothing but turn overs. That is only a rumor.
Kim thinks I am crazy for publishing this very unflattering picture of yours truly ready to face the night. I am past having any self respect or delusions that I am in any way lovely so what the heck?The sleep doctor and I are still trying to find the right combination of paraphernalia that will solve the sleep apnea problem, and this is the latest configuration. First I pull on the light brown elastic head and chin strap, designed to keep my mouth from popping open during sleep. Then I put on the sleep apnea nose mask which I pull on over the top of my head and it rests so that I end up breathing through my nose all night. If I stop breathing, the machine kicks in and blows air up my nostrils, forcing me to breathe unknowingly and unwittingly.
The head phones are actually a no-no, but sometimes I slip them on to watch and (hear) the John Stewart Daily Show and Stephen Colbert's antics which follow John Stewart.
I think this latest combination seems to be working better than everything we have tried thus far.

AND THIS JUST IN FROM MY SISTER-IN-LAW, KRISTI (whom I hate because of it!) Here I am in pain with a broken ankle! How very insensitive!
I absolutely love this, thought I'd share it. Have a great day. Kristi
Loving someone doesn't mean we must take away that person's pain. In fact, that may be the most unloving thing we can do. Each of us has a mission, and learning how to handle rough situations is a normal part of our journey. Not letting a loved one grow through his or her painful experiences steals the joy that accompanies having survived and learned from difficulties.
"Letting our friends and loved ones suffer the pain of growth is showing compassion in its purest form.
"I can love others without trying to solve their problems. Today I will keep my focus on my own experiences, not those of my loved ones."
