Thursday Three Confession? Nope!

Ok, so weather around here as gone to Hell and didn't take the handbasket! Only here can it be 80+ one day, 65 the next and now a lovely 40! And my "brilliant" son left his window open last and when I went in to get him up, could have hung meat in there!

After getting stuff done yesterday, I had to go through a bunch of picture to get some of Bonnie! We are having a Memorial for her on the 18th and a friends of ours' daughter is doing a video of pictures that we all can come up with! Believe it or not, I am a picture taker! So, they suck but I take them anyway! And OMG, I have entirely too many!

About 7 years ago Mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas. Well, what I really needed was some photo albums. Between her and my Seester I had enougth spaces for about 2000 pictues. Ummmm...I only have one album left to fill and have oh, maybe 1000 sitting in the drawer to be put in them. And won't even mention the amount I have on here that I haven't even developed! Sigh.....new age technology! I do have MOST of them transferred onto CD's just in case the computer decides to take a crap!

A long, long time ago in a place far, far away, I was born! Actually it's true! I was born in Los Angeles so that is far, yanno! Anywho, there used to be a bunch of pictures of me but when I was around 4-5 my Dad's house burnt down and he had all or most of the pictures of me! So, no record of me! A few scattered among relatives but that's it! Well, when Dad died in 1991 there were some pictures brought that nobody was really sure of who they were! My Mom started going through them and found the one below!! Isn't she a cutie???

I had fun looking back over the years in photos! Lordy Lordy I want my body back!!!! Not the one above just the one I had at 30!! This one:

Damn I Am Old!!

Got this in an EekMail and I know ALL of it!!

How's This For Nostalgia?

All the girls had ugly gym uniforms?


It took three minutes for the TV to warm up?



Nobody owned a purebred dog?


When a quarter was a decent allowance?


You'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny?


Your Mom wore nylons that came in two pieces?


You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, without asking, all for free, every time? And you didn't pay for air? And, you got trading stamps to boot?


Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box?


It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents?


They threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed. . and they did it!


When a 57 Chevy was everyone's dream car...to cruise, peel out, lay rubber or watch submarine races, and people went steady?


No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the car, in the ignition, and the doors were never locked?


Lying on your back in the grass with your friends?
and saying things like, 'That cloud looks like a... '?

Playing baseball with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game?


Stuff from the store came without safety caps and hermetic seals because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger?


And with all our progress, don't you just wish, just once, you could slip back in time and savor the slower pace, and share it with the children of today.


When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited the student at home?

Basically we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! But we survived because their love was greater than the threat.

. .as well as summers filled with bike rides, Hula Hoops, and visits to the pool, and eating Kool-Aid powder with sugar.
Didn't that feel good, just to go back and say, 'Yeah, I remember that'?


I am sharing this with you today because it ended with a Double Dog Dare to pass it on. To remember what a Double Dog Dare is, read on. And remember that the perfect age is somewhere between old enough to know better and too young to care.

Send this on to someone who can still remember Howdy Doody and ThePeanut Gallery, the Lone Ranger, The Shadow knows, Nellie Bell, Roy and Dale, Trigger and Buttermilk.


How Many Of These Do You Remember?
Candy cigarettes

Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water inside.


Soda pop machines that dispensed glass bottles.

Coffee shops with Table Side Jukeboxes.

Blackjack, Clove and Teaberry chewing gum.

Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers.


Newsreels before the movie.

Telephone numbers with a word prefix...( Yukon 2-601). Party lines.


Peashooters.

Howdy Doody.

Hi-Fi's & 45 RPM records.


78 RPM records!


Green Stamps.

The Fort Apache Play Set.

Do You Remember a Time When..
Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'?
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, 'Do Over!'?
'Race issue' meant arguing about who ran the fastest?


Catching The Fireflies Could Happily Occupy An Entire Evening?



It wasn't odd to have two or three 'Best Friends'?



Having a Weapon in School meant being caught with a Slingshot?

Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute commercials for action figures?


'Oly-oly-oxen-free' made perfect sense?

Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down was cause for giggles?

The Worst Embarrassment was being picked last for a team?

War was a card game?


Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle?

Taking drugs meant orange - flavored chewable aspirin?


Water balloons were the ultimate weapon?


If you can remember most or all of these, Then You Have Lived!!!!!!!

Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their 'Grown-Up' Life . .
I Double-Dog-Dare-Ya!

Tuesday Randomness!!

Ten Thoughts AGAIN!

1. WTG Butler! They tried their damndest and that is what counts! I am not even a Butler fan but I was sooo for them to win! I feel sorry for them as they are all trying to blame themselves for the loss. I think they all played excellent!

2. Temps are hitting 80 today and then back down to the 50’s the rest of the week! Gotta love living in Indiana. Don’t like the weather, wait a minute, it will change.

3. Psstt…exactly one month from today…I is OUTTA here! I know, shaddup already, we know! Butttt this is the thing I look forward to the most all year and I get all giddy now!

4. I have to go to Wally World to get a shit load of crap. Anybody want to go for me? Anybody? Fine, I see how you all are! I will go myself!

5. I need to find some new shorts for the summer but could someone please make some that are for us middle age wimmins? All I can find are either the “I can see your butt crack” or the “granny” kind! My waist IS NOT at my hip bones and me being only 5 feet tall, long ones look like I am waiting for a freaking flood! Just some nice normal ones that fall between the top of your thigh and knee! Am I really asking for too much, people?

6. I have to get my butt back in the tanning bed (oh, hush, we are all gonna die of something)!

7. I need to take my laptop to the VFW on Thursday and figure out how to use Wi-Fi. I think I am going to take the laptop to Florida with me but I have never tried to use it with public Wi-Fi so I suppose I should learn! It has a video camera on it so I thought I could take some nice video to post on here while I am gone to make all of you jealous! And I have a BIG surprise for a few of you!!!

8. A few of my neighbors have commented on the shutters! I am not sure how to take that! Is it, “They look really good, you did a good job” or is it “About damn time you lazy Bitch”?

9. Did I ever tell you I have about 75 pairs of sandals and am wearing them around the house to figure out which ones I can actually walk farther than just to the bathroom in so I can take them with me? What? You knew I was strange bird!

10. Ok, that’s about it! I have a bunch of errands to do and then tomorrow we are getting the new fence and attempting to put it in! Just a small one to keep the dogs in but it still will be tricky to do what I want and as you know, I am the Supervisor!



John is out with his friends and stops by his grandmother's house for a visit.

There's a bowl of peanuts on the coffee table,


So, John and his friends start snacking on them.


When they're ready to leave, his friends say, "Nice to meet you, ma'am, and thank you for the peanuts.."


Grandma says, "You’re welcome. Ever since I lost my dentures, all I can do is suck the chocolate off of them."

For All of You "Shutter Bugs"!

Happy Easter...Keaster...Whatever

What To Do!

Yes, two on Fliday!! Waiting for Connie to get here then going to lunch but this was too good to not share!!

You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night,when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.

2. An old friend who once saved your life.

3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car? Think before you continue reading.

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first. Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.


YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS.....................

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. He simply answered: 'I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.'

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations.

Never forget to 'Think Outside of the Box.'

HOWEVER....The correct answer is to run the old lady over and put her out of her misery because Obama's health care won't pay for her hospital visit anyway, have sex with the perfect partner on the hood of the car, then drive off with the old friend for a few beers!
