It’s always fun to “dream up” things for this blog. I mean, some days it’s easy and the words just run off my fingertips and the computer clicks away like crazy. Other days, it requires a bit more effort and thought – damn, I hate it when that happens! But as the weather does it’s twists and turns, one finds another way to entertain --instead of being outside where one truly wishes to be...we need an outdoor song!
Okay, what has Mother’s skirt in a twist this time? Can anyone believe the latest temps? Rates right up there with the gas prices, only they rise and temps lower – now this is goofy! And that cold that I almost had knocked out of me returned with a nagging cough last night – damnit! I hate these damn cold that think they can stay forever -- what rude little buggers!
What is gonna tick some folks off is this early planting and if we get lots of rain, guess what? Then again, some plants and/or seeds thrive in wet soil, so this may be beneficial. I just know that serious gardeners are covering plants in plastic and there has to be a damn good reason for this – plastic was on sale? Saves the plants from frost? Oh, I know, it looks prutty!
In the meantime, here are some news articles to make you smile, laugh and even cry. Again, nobody can make this stuff up, it’s just too damn weird.
NEW YORK - Even millionaires are feeling the economic squeeze, with many saying they don’t even “feel” wealthy. But as a group, they are optimistic that things will improve in the next year. The Fidelity Millionaire Outlook, a survey of 1,000 people with at least $1 million in assets to invest, found that you don’t have to be a laid-off worker in a rust belt state to have a negative view of the nation’s economy. [aw, don’t we feel sorry for the millionaires!]
ORLANDO, Fla. - A dolphin died over the weekend at a SeaWorld sister park after colliding with another dolphin during a guest interaction program. About 32 visitors were in the lagoon Saturday afternoon when the two dolphins swam into the deeper center and leapt from the water, Discovery Cove spokeswoman Becca Bides said Monday. They collided and Sharky, a 30-year-old dolphin, died, she said. The other dolphin appears to be uninjured but is being monitored.
The Nun in Hooters
A nun, badly needing to use the restroom, walked into a local Hooters. The place was hopping with music and loud conversation and every once in a while 'the lights would turn off.'
Each time the lights would go out, the place would erupt into cheers. However, when the revelers saw the nun, the room went dead silent.
She walked up to the bartender, and asked, 'May I please use the restroom?
The bartender replied, 'OK, but I should warn you that there is a statue of a naked man in there wearing only a fig leaf.'
Well, in that case, I'll just look the other way,' said the nun.
So the bartender showed the nun to the back of the restaurant. After a few minutes, she came back out, and the whole place stopped just long enough to give the nun a loud round of applause.
She went to the bartender and said, 'Sir, I don't understand. Why did they applaud for me just because I went to the restroom?'
'Well, now they know you're one of us,' said the bartender, 'Would you like a drink?'
'No thank you, but, I still don't understand,' said the puzzled nun.
“You see,' laughed the bartender, 'every time someone lifts the fig leaf on that statue, the lights go out. Now, how about that drink?'
