- Our garage door went on the blink in an odd way. I diagnosed the problem by discovering that the wires to one of the safety sensors had been pulled out. Worth mentioning? Heck yeah! I'm almost never able to solve problems like that and, if I do, it takes me five hours instead of 15 minutes. Winner.
- Not to beat an (almost) dead horse, but Charlie Sheen on Piers Morgan last night was some of the most fascinating TV I've seen in a long time. Morgan actually asked him "are you on some type of controlled substance right now?"
- Crazy/Funny moment was when Sheen was asked if he had "taken a lot of cocaine." Sheen: "Taken? I had to pay for it."
- UT is doing the same thing in basketball as it did last year: Go to #1 in the nation and then fade down the stretch (they have lost 3 of 4). They end the season at Baylor on Saturday and ESPN's College Game Day will be in Waco. I hope someone shows up (Baylor will be on Spring Break.)
- A Fort Worth officer shot and killed a man last night, and a Garland officer killed a man in his front yard over the weekend. Hide yo wife, hide yo kids . . .
- Skier falls accidentally falls off a climb and films it. (:55 mark.)
- Mrs. LL grinds her teeth at night. If it takes a mouth-guard, that has to stop.
- The Supreme Court bent over backwards yesterday to issue a a pro-police opinion in the area of the admissibility of out of court statements. How bad was it? Ultra Conservative Justice Scalia issued a dissent saying that the majority's characterization of the conduct of the police is "so transparently false that professing to believe it demeans this institution." (And with Obama appointee Justice Sotomayor writing for the majority, I feel like I'm in Bizarro Legal Land.)
- Overhyped story from yesterday: A Texas group offering $500 scholarships to white men. (Buried in the story is that a potential recipient qualifies if he is 25 percent Caucasian or more.)
- Jane
Mansfield Russell died yesterday. I really just remember her from bra commercials. Edit: Now I'm not so sure who is who.
- Our carpets have been steam cleaned. Of all cleaning projects, that is by far my favorite.
- The Star-Telegram sold its office building last week and, the publisher says, they plan to move but they just don't know where yet. Am I the only one that has a bad feeling about this?
- It's March 1st and I saw blooms on trees this morning. Fantastic. Let the Post-Christmas Depression end.

Didn't I Copy buy the Messenger Office Suppy?
* I have always thought the character Charlie Sheen portrays on Two and a Half Men was a sanitized version of Sheen's real life and personality.
If you look past Sheen's crazy-talk he makes some sense. Sheen has been a hard drinking, cocaine snorting/crack smoking, porn-whore loving party animal for the past 25 years and was, for several years, the highest paid television actor in the history of EVER. Living that type of lifestyle and being able to keep it together to be able to attain the type of fame and financial success is something of a super-human feat. As for Sheen's crazy hate for Chuck Lorre, think about it, Lorre basically said he would be pissed off is Sheen did not die before Lorre. When Sheen responded to Lorre's petty whine Lorre decided it was time to pull the plug on Two and a Half Men. Sheen is pissed. I think much of what Sheen is saying is part of Sheen's shtick. Sheen is an entertainer and he knows he is entertaining MILLIONS by keeping up the crazy-talk.
I completely agree with Sheen about Alcoholics Anonymous. AA has a dismal success rate and does not work for people who do not buy into the faith based core belief of AA or AA's baseless claim that people are unable to beat addiction without the help of some group/AA. How many people have said, "If you don't want to be an addict just quite being an addict." and honestly believed that was all it takes? Is Sheen an addict? Who knows! One thing for sure, Sheen truly ENJOYS being a user and sees no real reason to quite using. However, Sheen does seem to have some serious issues with Intermittent Explosive Disorder and needs professional help and perhaps even medication to deal with IED.
* You would be surprised at how frequently skiers fall/ski off of mountains.
* Get Mrs. LL a professionally fitted mouth guard, if not so you can sleep in peace but definitely so she will have enamel, on the chewing surface of her teeth, when she is 60.
* We, the people, are doomed when the SCOTUS decides The Man has more rights than individuals.
* The Star-Telegram has been living on borrowed time for the past 2 years.
Until you see mesquite trees budding, there could still could be some cold ass weather
The Star-Telegram has been disappearing little by little over the last couple of years yet it's product has grown more expensive.
Excellent comment from the skier video: "If you french fry when your supposed to pizza your gonna have a bad time!"
Jane Russell just died. She was an icon to the older set, quite a film star back in the day. Jayne Mansfield died in the 1960s! She was decapitated in a car wreck.
Brutha, you are a bold man indeed to throw down the gauntlet ovder the teeth grinding on the blog.
Not sure gathering public support for this one is a wise move. Ballsy, but maybe not the best idea.
I tried to grasp the arguments of the Supreme Court decision and my head imploded. Lawyers who understand all of this have bigger brains than I do.
Congratulations on the garage door diagnosis. Are you sure the wire wasn't pulled on purpose? (Visit beautiful Paranoialand.)
"Skier falls accidentally falls off a climb and films it"
What?
The girl in the middle has a refund gap in her plus 2's
"Also in the 1970s, she started appearing in television commercials as a spokeswoman for Playtex "'Cross-Your-Heart Bras' for us full-figured gals," featuring the "18-Hour Bra," still one of International Playtex's best-known products even as of early March of 2011."
Yep, she was the bra lady.
Or in Bubear speak...
Playtex was lady's bra full figured lady's famous cross your heart and hope to die.
Supposed to have a cold snap end of the week....can't wait...hope it snows.
Never have and never will understand why you catch crap for having anything designated for "white" people, but it's acceptable to have things designated for "black" people. Definitely not something I agree with.
8:51--you got it! Can't fool the old mesquite trees with this spring-like weather!
Another treatment for Mrs LL teeth grinding would be to remove the cause of it. lol
Maybe this has already come up, but I'm very curious about something. Since you're a lawyer, maybe you can explain. Why is it that Sheen isn't in jail? This is at least the second time, recently, that he's been busted with loads of coke (illegal) and prostitutes (illegal). If it were me, my ass would be put away, and you'd never hear about me again.
It is simple: Jane Mansfield was a blond, Jane Russell a brunette. Jane Russell was an original, Mansfield was a super size Marilyn Monroe.
I guess the guy that is in charge of the Fiona cardboard cutout wasn't notified of this photo shoot.
It's nice to know (and very amusing) that the Wordie of Oz isn't all knowing.
OOF Mr. LL, My boyr Junior, might not know what to do with them fillies, but sure as heck fire do!
As long as the wife doesn't have warrants and takes off in her vehicle dragging a police officer, or doesn't draw down on a police officer with her pistol, it might actually be safe to let the wife go outside without fear of being shot by a cop.
in keeping with the news of the day, I would call today's pic "Two and a half dogs"

For the first 360 years or so of this country everything was for white people, it was assumed and unspoken. No one had a problem with schools for blacks only, eating places for blacks only, restrooms for blacks only, drinking fountains for blacks only, neighborhoods for blacks only, and seats on the bus for blacks only. White folks started having a problem when it was college funds for blacks only, beauty pageants for blacks only,
congressional cauceses for blacks only...you get the picture.
To be fair, private funded scholarships for blacks only or whites only should not be a problem for anyone.

If she doesn't get a professional night guard, she will destroy her teeth. Been there, done that. Don't buy one of those kits from the drugstore. It's a waste of money & will irritate her gums.
In lieu of flowers, the family of Jane Russell, the born-again Christian actress, is asking for donations in her honor to Care Net, a pro-life pregnancy resource center network.
bruxism is evil. get a thick professional made guard.. my wife ground thru her first one.. the dentist was amazed at her bite force..
Most night guards may protect the teeth but allow even more pressure to be put on the TMJ. I have been using a NTI devise for 20 years and it works like a charm and prevents both teeth grinding and additional pressure on the TMJ.
Eric Holder recently argued to SCOTUS that aprosecutor who knowingly uses false evidence against a defendant at trial should be immune from criminal and civil liability.
Obama is no liberal. He's George Bush revisited. I don't know why Republicans hate him so much. I know why the tea baggers do...
Rage
Craniofacial Pain Associates in Bedford saved me with a TMJ appliance/mouthpiece made to fit perfectly and take the pressure off from the TMJ. Love it. Soooo worth it.
Hey Rage, If he is George Bush revisited, why do the flea baggers love him so much?
The Chick in the middle was a marketing major
