I usually look upon myself as an easy-goin' kinda guy. Der is, however, one exception ta da rule. I have come ta hate intensely da person dat invented da zipper. Not a week has gone by since dis nasty invention came inta our lives dat I don't curse da inventor ta hell, which I imagine as his body encased in a hot burning steel pair a pants and shirt dat can only be removed by a zipper dat runs down da front and da back and can never be removed cause it is constantly jammin'. I have lately been extending my hate and spleening my vent upon da American packaging industry- dose wizards of cardboard and plastic and tape wid dose little instructions printed on dem: Push, Pull, Open Here, Mutilate yourself here. How many teeth have been pulled out by dose easy open ketchup packs? How many fingers have been lost by dose screw-on caps with thin tamper evident protective seals which must be pulled out by means a finger loop after removing the screw on cap? Dose new soup cans dat don't require a can opener are killers, too. It's only a matter a time before urban gangs will be walking down da street wid cans a Campbell's Chunky Soups sticking outta der baggy pants, ready ta slash you atta moment's notice. Da mail-order online industry has probably got da highest death toll. I recently ordered a shirt from a high-end clothing store dat used ta be a sporting goods shop. I can't reveal da name but it has two names one of which rhymes with "bitch." Dey put out deese fancy catalogues wid sexy looking young people wearing der clothes. I'm glad der wearin' something, unlike Lady GaGa who seems ta be wearing a lot a plastic packaging, mostly a da see tru variety. Well, da purchases from da store arrived with smart promptitudosity. Two flannel shirts came in a cardboard box sealed wid a tape dat woudda put a welder outta business. I couldn't find da beginning a da tape so I attacked da package wid da Hell Cat's sewing scissors. After da tip flew offa dem, I attacked it wid da largest carving knife dat I could find in da kitchen, den a can opener, and an ice pick and a stream a profanities dat would make a mailer slush. Der's a well placed hole in da flannel shirt, but I got dem out. Den der's da bubbles. No, not Mrs. Lewandowski. I mean da plastic packaging dat was designed by da ancient Egyptian ta preserve der Pharoahs. I'm not talking about da bubble wrap wid dose tiny bubbles dat you like ta pop. No, dose big plastic bubbles dat hold products in der cardboard traps and defy ya ta try ta remove da products wid somethin less dan surgeon's scalpels. Suddenly I had dis vision uv a future America sealed tightly in a plastic bubble dat said: Press here for easy opening.

Nightmares
Episode 131
My loverly wife Helen (AKA da Hellkat)keeps having chronic nightmares as far back as da Chucky Cheese incident, which is keeping da law firm of Walker and Cane happy, but da poor Hellkat is suffering. In one recurrin' nightmare, da poor Hellkat was trapped in a pizza parlor, facing death by anchovy pizza. In another, she was drowning in deep pools of Coca Cola (She has always been a Pepsi drinker). At their worst, the nightmares occurred on an almost weekly basis, leaving her jittery and desperately tired.
"I would wake up so terrified that I was afraid to go back to sleep," da poor Hellkat says. "And the bad feelings were hard to shake. I would continue to feel frightened throughout the next day."
Dere's nothing unusual about having an occasional nightmare (which sleep experts define simply as a bad dream dat causes the sleeper to wake up). But up to 8% of da adult population suffers from chronic nightmares, waking in terror at least once a week.
Sometimes the nightmares are so frequent and so upsetting that they make sound sleep all but impossible, setting da stage fer fatigue and emotional problems like anxiety and depression.

Nightmares vary widely in der themes and specific content -- experts say dey can be "about" anything -- but all cause fear, sadness, anger, shame, or another negative emotion. They occur during REM sleep, typically in da latter part of the night. Though more common in children and adolescents, dey also strike in adulthood.

In many cases, chronic nightmares are triggered by psychological stress -- such as dat stemming from post-traumatic stress disorder, a severe anxiety disorder that strikes people who have been exposed to combat, violent assaults, accidents, natural disasters, and other terrifying ordeals.

"Lots of people think that nightmares can't be treated," says Henry Quackenbush, PsyD, director of the behavioral sleep medicine program at Montefiore Medical Center's Sleep-Wake Disorders Center in New York City. "But there are effective treatments."
On da recommendation of our own doctor, I began taking da Hellkat der for treatments.
Da treatment involves da use of perfumes, will power, and music, any of which can be procured at your local Walmart. Just ask fer da "Nightmare kit." I would do dis treatment fer da Hellkat at home. She sits down on da couch and relaxes-which is a tough assignment right at da start for a nightmare victim. Her face is covered wid four layers of gauze, muffling nose, mouth, eyes, and ears. Jasmine and tuberrose perfumes are den dropped on da gauze and symphony music is played. If da symphony happens ta be out on tour at da time, or we run outta chairs in da house, chamber music has ta do. Sometimes I just hum Night on Bald Mountain. Den da poor Hellkat gets sleepy and is supposed ta run tru a series of daydreams, carefully selected in advance by Doctor Quackenbush, retracing da ideals of da poor Hellkat's youth, such as baking a large Chocolate cake or running a canoe rental landing on Lake Wallenpaupack. She lies der fer half, maybe three quarters of an hour, with a soft gong sounding from time ta time. Da gong is a signal ta change dreams or run from Chuck Barris. Da gong was not covered by Medicare. No matter where you are in da daydream when da gong sounds, she's supposed ta change ta another daydream. Den at da precise time da nightmare is introduced and told ta do its worst. Jasmine and tuberrose perfumes are den kickin in, but da symphony orchestra has knocked off at five and gone home. Da doctor says dis treatment also works fer depression, insomnia, anxiety, and confusions. Boy, I could use a couple a dose confusion treatments myself.
