Number UNO

Hey, aren't you proud to be a New Yorker?

Come on, we are number ONE for the worse cities for road rage, finally pushing Miami down to number 7 -- damn, we are so competitive and now we are Number ONE!

I’m not sure what in hell the weather is gonna do today. It’s currently 60 degrees, overcast but not raining, not even a sprinkle at this moment, so maybe it will dry up and the sun will somehow break through and allow us some warmth. Pretty damn bad when you discover you need to wear socks in the middle of June!

Nestle has recalled a bunch of their cookie dough products after 66 people in 28 states got sick with E. coli. This is serious. Nestle is begging you not to eat their products raw or cooked! Normally, the heat would kill the bacteria, but Nestle isn't--huh. If you have a bunch of Nestle cookie dough in your freezer, you can return it to your grocery store for a full refund. This weekend the grocery stores are totally going to be full of single depressed ladies trading in their unused cookie dough for Snack Wells.

Jon & Kate – who in hell cares! Each is being accused or cheating on the other, both want what is best for their kids and the media is eating this up like this is major news and will solve world issues. Ye gads! Honestly I don’t give a rip….move on to something else, even K-FED getting paid to watch his own kids is more entertaining than this shit.

How about this Susan Boyle business? First off I think she has an amazing voice and I was shocked she did not win but hey, that’s life, deal with it. I do think all the pressure and spotlight was overwhelming and we tend to think she cracked up because of how the British refer to their hospitals – mental wards. It was a flippin hospital folks, nothing more and nothing less! She was not admitted to some psycho-ward. She was exhausted and hounded by the aggressive British media, she needed a safe haven. Then she goes on tour and takes another day off and again, she is accused of screaming at her cat and other mindless made-up nonsense that makes her sound like this babbling idiot, with learning disabilities but still this amazing voice. Holy dog tear, leave the woman alone and let her sing…at 47 years of age, she is truly an inspiration to many and that is wonderful – go Susan!

Did ya hear – oh this will make your heart thump a bit –the cacao tree (make sure you spell that correctly) is battling a virus in the Ivory Coast, the world’s largest producer, where crops could be down 33 percent according to New Scientist. So what in hell does this mean? Well, don’t think we have an endless supply of chocolate, Mate, this could up the price considerably and we might be a tad stingy about sharing our piece of chocolate in the near future!

Oh the fish above – that’s Reggie – my Beta fish and newest pet. Well, my pet as I don’t have any pets. I figured a fish was easy and works for me. Actually my sister has a Beta, has had one for months, Matty and she was just having way too much with this fish for me to think this should remain a solo act so I got one too. Now who knows if they’ll ever visit each other again – they are aggressive fish and definitely prefer to swim alone – hence don’t add any fish to their tank or they’ll kill’em? Damn, who wouldn’t want a Beta based on that fact alone?

Oh, for sometime I have been debating and/or mulling over the idea of getting a kayaka. Well, my sister had a good question-- HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET OUT OF THEM? Think about it -- after trying this out,[beach the sucker and then climb out] I've decided canoes are much nicer and easier, thank you very much!!!

Have a nice weekend and keep smiling!
