Let's All Bow Our Heads

The local Christians all got together last night on the beach an prayed for God to stop the oil spill. Can't wait to see how this turns out!

#$%&@*

Free to a good home. One, large, in-ground swimming pool. If you can get it out and haul it away, the dam thing is yours!

I'm Confused (but it wouldn't be the first time)

I own some stock in a small Telephone Company in the Midwest (inherited from my parents). Yesterday I received a copy of an Accountant's Report sent to the Board of Directors of the company.

The third paragraph reads as follows:

"Management has elected to omit substantially all of the disclosures and the statements of cash flow required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. If the omitted disclosures and statements were included in the financial statements, they might influence the user's conclusions about the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Accordingly, these financial statements are not designed for those who are not informed about such matters".

What the hell does that mean? I think I'm insulted.

Cheating

Tiger Woods and Jesse James have been vilified for cheating on their wives. Let me first say, I do not condone their actions. If they wanted to screw around, they shouldn't have gotten married in the first place. It's hard for non celebrities to keep that kind of thing a secret and much harder if the world is watching you.

But what about the skaney women who slept with these guys knowing they were married? Don't they share equally in the responsibility for the break down of these marriages? Instead, they are being rewarded by becoming celebrities (if only for a short time) themselves. They could have said no. If I were the wives, I would be going after these women as well.

(I know skaney is ms - can't find it in the dictionary)

I don't think man was meant to be monogamous but if you stand up in front of all you friends and family and say you will, then you should - or get a divorce.

As an aside: Tiger's infidelity was probably a good thing for golf. I bet more people are watching the Masters that ever before. I know I am. Also, there isn't anything else on today.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all my Christian friends.

To all others - I the hope the Easter Bunny brought you something anyway.

I have beautiful feet

I am extremely organized

"Meatloaf" is my favorite artist

I love the scent of Gardenias

I love Orchids but hate waiting for them to bloom

I need to lose 20 lb

I have been madly in love with my husband since the day I met him 46 years ago

I have never eaten Sushi – and I never will

I have never played Scrabble

I don't know how to "text" and I don't want to learn

I love the mountains of Western NC

My name was misspelled on my birth certificate & I have been living with the nightmare ever since

Weekend

This was not one of my better weekends. We had two or three days of heavy rain last week. On Fri. afternoon when I came home from the store my daughter had stopped by and was parked in the driveway. I pulled up beside her on the grass. After she left I went to put the car in the garage and got stuck in the lawn. How stupid is that? I had to call AAA to get me out. Now I have big ruts in the lawn. I have no idea how to fill them in.

Also on Fri night our TV quit working. It's a 46" flat screen that I paid an enormous amount of money for three and a half years ago. I also bought an expensive extended warranty plan - which ran out 6 months ago. I have a repairman coming tomorrow. Can't imagine what this will cost.

I am not a happy camper.
