Welcome back!

There is another choice to a way to keep cool.

Tell the weatherman/woman to - TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER!

I know, that is ridiculous. However, it is nice to wish for something ridiculous once in a while.:)

Meanwhile, I have heard that some have found that staying at home or a friend’s house and using thexbox 360 controller, and playing video games also works. I do not have an XBox, I do have a computer….DUH

I love to kid around.

Do you remember the commercial for weight loss, it was called ‘Sweatin’ With The Oldies’?

Well, right now there is no one playing the ‘oldies’, but I am sure sweating’ it up. The heat outside makes me thankful for air conditioning, and box fans.

I have no desire to try to survive without that cooling. It is a required thing for both me and my husband. Our health is not what it used to be and we both appreciate having electricity and AC.

Do you have any pet peeves?

Aw come on, every one does. With me one of the peeves that gets to me the most is to be interrupted by someone who wants to comment on what I am saying when I have not even finished talking, yet.

If they have something to say about what I am talking about, they have not even been listening to begin with. Unfortunately for them, I do have a loud voice and will do my best to get them to listen. Does that make me stubborn…. I’d say yes.

I bet that is some else’s pet peeve.

I am still pluggin’ on.

I still have the numbness in my face. CRAZY

I wish that it would all vanish as quickly as our money vanishes these days.

Dandelion, dandelion, glowing so bright, with your little heads nodding in the sunlight.
Why it is that you don’t glow when the light is gone, mom did not like you much when you were in her lawn.
Get some running water, pluck those yellow flowers, pat them dry with paper towels, then dredge with seasoned flour.
Fry them in some cooking oil ’til they are golden brown. Eat them up ’til they are gone, your tummy will not frown.

Okay, I know - bad poetry. I am serious about the dandelion flower heads, though. When they are fixed as mentioned in the ‘poem’ they have a great taste. If you like fried mushrooms, you might like some fried sunshine.

My sis and I did that a while ago. It took about 2 years for that neighborhood to get some dandelions back. Talk about weed control. Too bad we did not know how to fix the greens or the root. I’ve heard that they are edible, too.

When I was still in grade school, we were told to talk about what we had done during the summer. Mom and I had spent our time working on her garden and lawn. She did not appreciate the dandelion very much. There were so many of those yellow flowers showing in her lawn that she created a new name for each one she dug up. I had the chance to tell the teacher that we both spent our time digging up ‘damdelions’. The teacher explained that that was not the right name for the flower/weed. I explained that mom called them that as she dug them up.

I understand, now, why she grinned.

Have you heard the old saying - here we go loop de loo?

I have sung that particular phrase when going around in circles in the local shopping mall parking lot. Also when trying to make sense of new government regulations, rules, and other pain in the rump stuff.

Do you realize that if we applied Maxim lighting to a lot of what goes on in our government that some of it would make the citizens scream?

I need to be careful here, or I will get on one of my favorite soap boxes and gripe about Uncle Sam and all of his little idiot. No, I am not talking about the regular citizens here. Just the ones who were put in office by ‘friends’.

Now, what am I talking about?

I have heard that the English language is very confusing to many people from non-English speaking countries. This is a word that can help you understand where they are coming from.

I could be talking about the scales that you see on fish. (I don’t like to fish, so don’t see many fish scales up close.) You could also be talking about scales that weigh a product, or a person. I have also seen scales that can weigh vehicles. My sister was a truck driver and talked about those lots of times. They were NOT popular with the truckers.

Then there are the scales that might be over someone’s eyes when they really do not pay attention to what is going on around them.

So which scales do you have?

I have dreams.

I know that we all do. I dream of going to luxury New York City hotels, sitting on my rump, and getting room service.

It is not that I want to be lazy….It is just the idea that someone else would do the dishes, have to clean up, have to do the laundry.

Ohhhhh…aren’t dreams fine?

I hate it.

Strong words, but I hate it. What do I hate? What else but those answering machines that call you when you are in the middle of something. Even if it is not a sales promo, the idea that someone triggers a call for you and can’t be bothered to actually answer the phone in return, is just a slap in the face.

If, when I answer, I hear silence on the other end and no one answers within a couple of seconds, I HANG UP. Period.

Yes, there are more holidays coming up. We have gotten past Thanksgiving for this year, now we have Christmas and New Years Day coming.

If you are addressing a lot of Christmas cards, some address labels would help with the return address on cards.

I usually like to favor using the hpone and talk to the ones that I like to keep contact with. After 9 pm, and on the weekends, our phone gets very busy with lots of talking being done. Us, the phone get a lot of use, all the time.
