I know I’m probably in the minority here but soon, if this continues unstopped, ”as well” will reach epidemic proportions and any semblance of intelligent conversation will cease to exist, and our vocabulary will be significantly reduced, as well……..

Crap it’s Labor Day. I saw school supplies on sale already at the local pharmacia and they reminded me of the smell of library paste and number 2 pencils and writing the  “what I did this summer” essay on the first day of school. Which made me wonder what I didn’t have time for this summer like a Yankee game, a canoe trip, an Allman Brothers show, skinny-dipping, the meteor showers, Cape Cod or a day at Saratoga. Tonight I will rustle around the back of the ‘fridge for a cold OV and sit outside until the sun goes down and hope that the levees hold in New Orleans….

Really, I put them in and nap, waking up from time to time to catch a scene. I just watched BEN HUR with and Far and Away with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman! I have to say I enjoyed them both.

A little slow, but who cares, I’m napping. Other good napping suggestions, “You’ve got mail” or  ”The Terminal” ironically enough both Tom Hanks Films.

Happy napping! oxo

Pronunciation of the word “chipotle,” the Tex-Mex chili spice that I’m not fond of anyway.  It’s supposed to be Chi-POTE-lay. Not Chi-POLL-tay. Look at the spelling! 

2. The prizes in boxes of Cracker Jack SUCK compared to the old days. And I can’t believe Gomez doesn’t like the peanuts…the best part of Cracker Jack!

What’s America coming to ??!?

Here is a short list of things you should never do and you should know better anyway!

Stupid things:

1. Taking photos of your “junk” on the cell phone and sending them. What if you miss dial and the wrong person gets it!

2. Leaving kids or pets in a hot car with the windows half way down. Duh! Leave them home or carry them!

3. Sending a nasty email about a co-worker or your boss on your company email system! Duh, never write down or email ANYTHING you don’t want reeated in cyber space! It NEVER GOES AWAY!!!!!!

4. Talking on your cell phone in the movies. Duh, that’s why texting was invented!

Questions? let me know:) So long for now!

“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What’s that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first; get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you’re too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating…
…and you finish off as an orgasm.”

amen.
