Too Long Grammys

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Watched the Grammy Awards Show tonight. There were a lot of performers getting a few moments of the spotlight. Nashville was well represented in the winners circle. One of my favorite moments was the show by Pink. That woman is HOT!

I think the show was wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too long. I could have done without a lot of the lame jokes and boring stiff commentary. Some of the awards could have been mentioned in shorter moments that didn’t hog air time.And why were those actors brought into this show? Aren’t there plenty of musicians who would have done a great job on stage reading cues?

It got really boring at the end when they started bringing out rap and hip hop people who I have no idea who they are. Would it kill the show producers to run a little scrolling line at the bottom of the screen with the names of the people on stage? I have no idea who most the blacks were, but to be honest, I don’t even care enough to try to look up any of them either. I don’t like rap and hip hop music – it is disrespectful to women and encourages our young people to do drugs, commit crimes and live an irresponsible life. That should not even be allowed on the radio – it is just wrong to have our young people influenced by this crap.

Did you know that there are hidden symbols on a U. S., one dollar bill? There was an interesting article on the front page of Yahoo that explains some of the currency mysteries.

For the record, according to this article, each one dollar bill costs the federal government 6.4 cents to print.

Hip Replacement Issues

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

My boss never mentioned having trouble walking or getting around, and for the few times each year that he was actually in our office for meetings, we never suspected that he would need a hip replacement. so we were totally surprised when the receptionist left everyone know that he was in the hospital this week recovering from his hip replacement surgery.

I wish he had talked to me about the surgery before he made his decision. I doubt that he was aware of issues on zimmer durom cup. I read about the problems online a few weeks ago. There was a video online about the attorneys who are handling lawsuits against the manufacturers of the hip replacement part that has been failing.

The durom cup hip replacement is an interesting piece of metal that is surgically inserted into the leg. It looks a little like a stainless steel plumbing piece.

Unfortunately, some of the zimmer durom cup types have failed to work properly within the first two yeas of use. That is the basis for the lawsuits underway by the Maglio Christopher Toale & Pitts Law Firm.
