February 28th open thread: ‘Kiss Off’

 Here is the open thread for Sunday, February 28th. Please feel free to post links to interesting articles and to discuss whatever issues arise during the course of the day. Nothing is off-topic here.

   Last week we covered 9 stories, did you miss any of them? If so there is an easy way to make sure it does not happen again. I understand that all of you are busy and cannot always find the time to check the blog for updates so why not subscribe to America’s Watchtower and receive email updates whenever I write a new post? That is the easiest way to follow the blog to ensure you never miss another post.

  In addition to subscribing you can also follow America’s Watchtower on Facebook and Twitter by clicking the links on the right. But you will get more than that for I often post links to articles I probably will not be writing about so it is a great way to keep up with what is happening.

  The Twitter widget in the sidebar is fully interactive. This widget updates my tweets in real time and allows you to respond to or retweet my tweets right from the blog. It also allows you to tweet me right from America’s Watchtower. How cool is that! If you do not have a Twitter account what better reason do you need to sign up for one!

  On a personal note: This Tuesday I will officially be off of light duty at work following my October 28th surgery! To be honest I think not lifting more than 10 pounds for 3 months was a little excessive, I did my best to adhere to doctor’s orders but it was tough because that meant I could not lift anything heavier than a gallon of water.

   I feel great but it was a long road. Looking back on it now I realize while I talked a good game in the beginning I did not feel as good as I thought I did but now I am 100% and I thank God for giving me the strength to get through it, for my family who supported me during my time of need, and for this second opportunity to set my priorities straight.

  Here is the Violent Femmes performing “Kiss Off” live from I would guess somewhere between the late ’80’s and early ’90’s.
