You Ain't Cool Unless You Have a Loose Screw!

UPDATE: Dan the Man will forever be tagged as having a screw loose!

Yep. You heard it here first folks - the screw is here to stay. After much debate in the Moore Family and another visit to the doctor (the family doctor this time - not some money hungry, surgery-eager vulture), Dan the Man has decided that the best route to take at this time is to keep his loose screw.

The family doctor brought up some very good points: 1) more surgery to go on a screw-hunting expedition could cause more damage than what it is worth and 2) if Doc himself had a screw inside of him, he would elect to leave it.

So there you have it folks....Dan the Man truly has a loose screw. And as someone once said, "this whole thing sounds 'screwy' to me!" (Kudos Melissa!)

** Note to Dad: I promise to stop posting lovely photos of you now. Well, until the latest from Gulf Shores 2008 surface.

Update on Dan the Man

Bad news - the screw is not passing. (And if you do not know what I am talking about...see the picture below...the one where the guy is holding the binoculars...and read that story.) We will know in the coming days of how to repair his loose screw.

Dont' worry, Dad. Britney Spears also has a loose screw!

I think that maybe a quick run to Ameristar Casino just might loosen up the screw and it would be gone forever. Whatcha thinkin', Dan the Man?

A Few Loose Screws

Have you ever said, "Man, that person has a screw loose?" I know that I have on many occasions. But today, we found out that my dad, Dan the Man, has a loose screw...literally. Now before you go thinking that he is now checked into the psych ward, let me explain.

You see, a couple of weeks ago, Dad had back surgery. He is recovering nicely, but Dr. Strain (funny name, huh?) has discovered a screw in his stomach. WHAT? How did that get there? Dr. Strain blames the hospital...I am sure hospital blames the doctor. Either way, Dad is fine and will be passing along the screw sooner than later. Happy Recovery, Dad!!!

**On a side note, Katie, my beautiful Yorkshire Terrier, was recently x-rayed. The Vet, who we call Doc, found a staple in her skin. Weird. She hasn't ever had surgery...so who knows why she has her stomach stapled. Gastric bypass, I guess.
