Obama

Is a closet Republican.  Cuts government employees pay, forgives Michael Vick and could care about starving kids in the US.  I did NOT vote for him based on I didn't think he was telling the truth in the first place.  He was too smooth a talker and he has not kept one of his promises except those that hurt the government worker.  That's why Oprah wanted him in office, to cut HER taxes.

There was a sign on a house that I pass going home every day.  It went like this:

One
Big
Ass
Mistake
America

I hated that sign...until now.  Unfortunately, the people have moved and took the sign with them.  I still say, blame Oprah, she threw her money behind his support and it's turning out to be a mistake.

My Mom.

The daughter mentioned before cannot figure her mom out to save her life.  We went to store and couldn't find everything I needed and I had to kind of use my memory for the ingrediants.  We must have walked back and forth the full length of the store about 5 times.  Since everything was not there we needed to go to the store that had it, so we just made fun of the store, got what we wanted then went to other store.

We got to that store and was told by another customer that the store was closing in 4 minutes.  I just wanted one back of Pepe Ancici pasta so I could make Frog Eye.  Nobody needed to know that.  We walk into the store and the cashier says, "We close in four minutes."  I told him I know, so we got what we needed and made fun of everything and everybody in the store along the way.

For instance as we are walking into the store there's a really BIG sign that says "Open 24 Hours".  but they were closing in 4 minutes.  So which is it, they are closing in 4 minutes or they are open 24 hours?  They deserved to be made fun of.

I need to lose weight.

And then the drive home brought more picking on people, laughing and ho ho hoing all the way home!  We just didn't have a sleigh and that was probably a good thing.  We'd get pulled over for drunken sleighing and would have been totally sober.

The conversation while going to the other store was Drunken Raisin's.  We both read the article, but not together, and that left the inventor open to all kinds of stuff.  BUT I want to try them because of my back.  That would lead to drinking and driving.  How do you explain to a cop that your not drunk driving, that the only thing you had was a few raisins.  There was more back and fourth until she was talking about an undrunk date.  I still can't figure out if she was talking about the plum-date or some guys undrunk Date.  She was laughing so hard at her own joke I just didn't get it. At least she cracked herself up!

Trying to figure me out isn't all that hard.  It's about LAUGHTER an having a good time.  I maybe old but I ain't dead!  :)

Merry Christmas.

Santa Claus

The other day my daughter and I were shopping, again, for some last minute stuff for the grandsons (her sons).  We were talking about when her younger sister was told about Santa Claus.  I told her the reason we had to tell her sister was because of her and her brothers big mouths telling her he didn't exists and we (the parents) were telling them he did exist, it was driving the younger sister crazy.  She was asking to many questions. 

Fast forward a few days, (tonight) we go to the store so I can pick up some last minute things for dinner tomorrow.  She has the NERVE to tell me to hurry up, that we have to get home because Santa Claus is coming tonight.  Short memory span so I informed her that I WAS Santa.  Remember, the talk we had about the younger sister, having to tell her who Santa was?  She does have a short memory.  So now it all fit into place for her.  She kept calling me Santa.

So I had to set the name straight at this time. It's Mrs. Claus or in my case, Ms. Claus.

Merry Christmas!

Fix your own small dents?

This is kind of cool.  I got it in a Jokeroo 'newsletter' today.

http://www.jokeroo.com/videos/cool/fixing-dent-canned-air.html

There are no other instructions.

Donate a kidney or not

Steve and Slacker on 105.9, Alice were talking about donating a kidney.  I didn't hear the whole show but Steve and Slacker were asking callers if they were compatible and each needed a kidney which DJ would they give it too.  My vote is, sell it on craigslist.  No way would I give my kidney to anybody outside of family.  Dorks.

Another commercial, unintentional porn?

GMC 403 horsepower 6-2 V8 Nutcracker?  2011 Sierra.  I don't think it was unintentional.  Broncos/raiders game.

Only in America...

where we can afford to renovate a National Monument for $8 MILLION dollars and $365 MILLION to renovate the White House and have children starving in America.  I KNOW this is true that we have kids starving.  We can pay more taxes for the luxuries of the Rich and Famous (the Obama administration) but nothing is said about our starving children.  Guess when there are NO american's left to pay the taxes then we won't be able to pay for stupid stuff...
http://www.strength.org/childhood_hunger/hunger_facts/  Help if you can.
They want to stamp out childhood hunger by 2015.  THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!  This should be stopped before the end this year.  Yeah there's only so many days left but guess what?  We are a supposed super power and we don't even take care of our own.  What a worthless country we are that we don't take care of our own first.

More commercials...

One that makes me shake my head and wonder what the commercial is REALLY about?  Ricola and the dancers. 

The Biggest Loser in trouble because of the recession?

So does the recession cause obesity or is the Biggest Loser going to lose contestants because of the recession?

My thoughts, it doesn't matter.  If anything it will cause obesity because the foods that are bad for us are the ones that are the cheapest and that is barely affordable.  For instance, in my opinion, pasta is the WORST food but the most affordable.

A lot of these foods that are affordable are NOT on a diabetic diet.  So they choice is eat crappy, high calorie, high carb food or starve cause the other food isn't affordable.

Here's a challenge from Biggest Loser:

http://www.pfpchallenge.com/

We can feed somebody just by loosing weight.  By the way DENVER don't even make the top 5 of the top losers for Colorado.  Better get on it.   Yeah, yeah, I know, we don't have enough over weight people to rate that high, right?  :)

Oprah TV

I just realized that Oprah has a big chunk of day time TV.  All of these shows are on really close to the same time, Dr. Phil (idiot), Dr. Oz (my hero) and then Oprah herself.  I know Nate has a cable show, who else has Oprah given permission to put their show on the air?  HER own OWN (Oprah Winfey Network) starts on the first day in January.  Before you know it she'll be running the country from behind a camera.  No, I don't believe it, I'm just feeding into paranoid people's thoughts.  :)

Head lights and tail lights

There are a lot of headlights and tail lights out on cars.  Mine aren't ALL out but a lot of them are out.  And on a Mustang you practically have to take the car apart to replace them.  But I can do it!

To check to see if they all work I found the perfect window to check them in.  It's at the college for cosmetology on the corner of 66th and Wadsworth.  LOTS of window.  So I can back in and check my tail lights and pull in to see the head lights.  PERFECT.

Check your lights...it's better than getting a ticket and safer for all of us.

Internet commercials

Google Chrome.  Tired of it.  Almost any video I want to see has THAT commercial on it.  I have Chrome but refuse to use it and won't upgrade it.

This doesn't come as a shock...

Father kills his two kids.  I just don't see why this has to happen.  Take the kids some where it's safe and let some one else raise them.  Death is NOT an option.

http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/12/11/alabama.children.remains/index.html?hpt=T2

There's a really cute commercial on the radio.

One of the few that I like and I cannot remember it.  Darn, it's good too.

December 11, 2010
I remember now.  It's a Progressive commercial, on the radio.  What's cute about it is the background singer's.   Somebody is asking questions, another person is answering and the background singers are putting in their two cents worth.

It's like a caller calls in and asks a question.  It's supposed to be about insurance but one guy says, 'the instructions on my shampoo says wash, rinse, repeat.  How many times should I repeat?'
The announer says, 'Oh, I think you called the wrong help line.'
The background singers, all together, sing, 'Twice is enough.'  It's really cute.
That's the new version.  The older version the announcer asks the singers something like are you making fun of me and the singers, all together again, go 'Kinda'.

It's better if you could hear the whole thing but they don't play the whole commercial any more.  Still an excellent commercial.  The best part is it isn't every other commercial.  At least I don't hear it every time.  Excellent commercial!

Stuff has been happening all week.

But I'm tired and my back is killing me so I don't have a whole lot to say.  So I'll wait until I'm off drugs to write.  Or maybe not.  Ha, I don't have anything to say and that is NOT me.  I'm on a muscle relaxant and a pain med and LOTS of ibuprofen.  So until later.

Pearl Harbor Day

Another American tragedy.  Not to be forgotten.

Went to Walgreen's this afternoon to get a prescription filled.

So you know while you are waiting for them to take the prescription you look around to see what specials they have going on.  Walgreens always has sales.  But I was tickled that they had a Flu Shot Gift Card.  It was for $29.99.  A little expensive but what better way to say I love you than a free shot.  Awww.

How embarassing is it?

to get fired in front of the whole Nation?  Like Josh McDaniels.
Just like how embarrassing is it for everybody in the Nation to know that your house went into foreclosure?  Like the space ship house on the mountain.  The one in the movie 'Sleeper'?  When that house went into foreclosure EVERYBODY knew.

Did you know?

That you can turn your explorer sideways?  Hit ctrl + alt + the arrow you want to change it to.  Like upside down is  ctrl + alt + down arrow turns it totally upside down.  Cool huh?

Wanna know how I found this out?  A six month old fuzzy butted KITTEN walked across my key board.  So I had to look up how to turn it back.

Worthless information.  Doesn't do any good unless maybe your looking at pictures, maybe.  But fun to play with.

Josh McDaniels Fired...

Yee haw.  That's enough said.

Most hated commercials...

Not because they aren't good but because they show them so many times they lost their funniness YEARS ago.  Geico.  All of them.

Watching football...

I watch the Broncos and I get verbal.  My cat, Loki, doesn't like it when I'm too loud.  He'll meow at me with his eyes closed like he's yelling at me to 'shaddap'.  I love that stupid cat.

If I sneeze he yells too.  Sensitive snot nose brat.

Another "What the Heck?" When did killing your kids become an option?

Don't want your kids any more?  Just kill them.  When did that become an option?  Recent news has been filled with parents killing their kids, hiding the bodies and acting like its NORMAL to do that.  Is there no thought before the parent kills?  Not only are the snuffing the life of a child they are going to go to prison for the rest of their lives.  If you can't take care of your kids then give them to some one who will, like Social Services or the local fire department.  I know Safe Haven (I'm against it) is for new borns but what about the older child who needs to be protected?  DEATH is NOT an option. 

Because a person can't take care of their child(ren) there's no reason to kill them.  Take them to a responsible adult, like a cop, a social worker, a fireman.  Let them live.

I know the economy has a lot to do with it but damn, death to an innocent child is a stiff penalty to pay for being a child.

Letting a child live with another family is not a sign of failure, it's a sign of strength.  Killing of children has got to STOP!

Bumper cars

I drive on a section of I-70 that can be very dangerous and has had some really BAD accidents.  If you've only had a couple of beers, stay off that highway.  It will take your life.  For example, a year or so back and lady had been drinking, came around that corner (it's by the Lakeside lakes and the one across the street of Lakeside or the Sheridan exit) plowed into the guard rail and killed her 3 year old child.  I think it was a girl.  Then another car did the same thing but for some reason ALL of the people in the car left the scene and was found at a house close by.  What the heck?

Ok, so coming back from taking my daughter to work I see these guard rails the at exit on Pecos are all torn up.  The cones are all over the place, etc.  Do people think those things are soft?  Do they think they are bumpers in case you miss the turn?  How can you possibly hit those things, tear them up and live to tell about it?  It wasn't that way last night when we went by so it happened between 8:00 pm and 9:00 am. 

Why do people drive like that?  Pet peeve of mine.

The New Colorado Blinker

Coloradan's VERY RARELY use their blinkers.  I space it out and get yelled at by my kids but I've been driving in this state for a very long time.  I can remember when I-25 was called the Valley Highway.  I actually saw a map on Google (which I don't use) that said Valley Highway.  Am I ADD, yes.

So I'm taking the daughter to work, which I should pack a lunch because she works in North Castle rock, almost, and this beat up truck kept moving lanes without a blinker.  I'm pretty sure that by the condition of the truck, barely road legal, that those blinkers don't work.  So I told my daughter that I was letting this guy in front of me because he wanted out of the lane he was in because of merging traffic onto the highway, just like he merged on.  She said something about how could I tell that.  I told her he was using his new Colorado blinkers.

Yeah, she did the same thing, Huh?  I told her the new blinker was:  when you see somebody looking to their left twice, or more, in succession that means he is coming over, clear road or not.  His head moves at the same rate as a blinker would.  That constitutes a valid defense in traffic court, right?  "But your honor I looked TWICE before I moved over."

What happens if they want to turn right?  They look to the right at least twice or in their rear view mirror at least twice and/or at the mirror on the outside on the door at least twice, again in succession as a real blinker.  And then they start riding the line.

If they only look once?  They aren't from Colorado.  Or they are sight seeing.  More than three times?  Insecure driver.

Riding the line is an East coast thing.  They expect you to read their minds (not much reading there) and to either speed up or slow down.  If youi speed up they move right behind you BARELY missing your car.  It's almost a PIT manuever.

New word Drining.  That's a combination of Drinking and Driving...  :)  Which I do neither.

My mean cat.

This isn't thoughts, this is reality.
My cat is such a snot.  I was sitting here surfing and I kept hearing this noise.  It kept getting more and more obnoxious then I realized it was the smallest dog throwing a fit.  She was whining.  She wanted to go down the hall to the bedroom, which is stupid because she never leaves the room that I'm in but her water is down the hall too.  She couldn't do it because Loki, the cat, was blocking the hallway.  MOST of the dogs are afraid of him because he can be mean and will tear them apart.  His favorite thing to do is to wait till Jack (my favorite dog) walks by him then with one swipe plants his claws in Jack's butt.  All of the sudden Jack screams and tries to go after Loki.  I have to stop him before he eats the cat.  So Loki's laying there flipping his tail cause he knows it bothers the dog, Autumn, and he's just being a snot.  Flipping the tail is a 'na na na boo boo stick your head in do-do' type teasing.   I get up to go move him because yelling at him doesn't do any good and I reach down to pick up him and all I see is claws and paws as he's trying to stop me from moving him.  He has 4 of them and all the claws are sharpened for any kill he can get, including my arm.   I finally got hold of his body and picked him up.  He hates kisses worse than anything so after I pick him up he stops fighting cause he knows I'm going to kiss his mean little face.  He's such a brat.

Sulphuric Acid spill.

So there's a chemial spill on I-25 and Colorado Boulevard.  Another good thing for the light rail to be around, my daughter sailed right by it on her way to work.

Turns out that a trucker slammed on her brakes and broke a drum in the back.  It was sulphuric acid.  The highway was shut down for 11 (depends on which news station you listened to) or 10 hours.  So this is the topic of discussion on the way home.  You can see the story here:  http://www.9news.com/rss/article.aspx?storyid=167473

Ok, so the conversation from there goes something like this:
Sulphuric acid smells like rotten eggs.  Is highly corrosive.  What is it used for?  Nobody could answer that question.

At that moment we discussed how it could get into water and kill everything in it.  I ask, 'Do you think we could get Obama to swim in that water?  Like he did with his daughters in the oil spill waters?'  The answer was, 'Nah, he'd then be Michael Jackson.'  OUCH!  We laughed really hard.

What I was thinking was this:

DEAR LORD, THIS YEAR YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTOR, PATRICK SWAYZIE. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTRESS, FARAH FAWCETT. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE SINGER, MICHAEL JACKSON. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT IS BARACK OBAMA. AMEN

:)

Its early thirty and I can't sleep.

I'm tired but I can't sleep.

My daughter says I'm funnier.

My daughter says I'm funnier than the guy from $..! My Dad Says.  I don't know about that but I think she's referring to the fruit cake incident/award.

I'm still wondering how to pay my house off.

It consumes a lot of my time...that thought.

I wonder how I can get my home paid off.

Just a thought.

I didn't vote for him, Oprah did and it's all HER fault.

Ok, I don't vote for president.  If I do I go liberal, independent or write in Mickey Mouse.  Doesn't necessarily mean I don't support them I just don't like EVERYTHING about them.  I think I voted for a president once and that was to ensure his opponent didn't win.  I think it was Clinton, before Monica Lewinsky, then I didn’t like him any more.

I didn’t have anything against President Obama either, until now.  He’s starting to act more and more like a Republican.  I think he is a closet Republican.

Then he decided to not give government employees a raise for the next two years.  Mind you these are COST of living raises.  It’s not like it’s a raise for the heck of it, it’s a raise to keep up with inflation.  That’s being stripped for two years.  I read an article that congress and everybody agrees that the money ‘saved’ from taking government employees raise for two years isn’t enough to make a visible dent in the deficit, so why bother?  Because it’s to placate the public into thinking the present administration is cutting back on federal spending.  Really?  Taking money from people and their families, isn’t going to take care of the out-of-control spending by the government.  It just makes the government workers poorer than the public which probably makes them happy.

And the government isn’t taking any money from anybody, they just aren’t doing what they’ve been doing every year since who knows when.  Does inflation not hit government employees?  I could go on and on but the point of this entry is:

WHOSE FAULT IS IT???

I vote OPRAH!!!!  She was the one who used her influence and power to get that man into office.  Shortly afterward she hasn’t said anything about him.  Is she embarrassed by HER selection?  She should be.

Of course she’s happy with him because he’s standing his ground about giving the rich tax breaks and since she’s estimated to be worth $1 BILLION.  She’s getting a HUGE tax break.  Not me.  I can barely afford anything and my taxes.

This reminds me of the ’70’s.  Work hard and have nothing  to show for it.  Yipeeee.  I always saw myself in this situation.

Thanks Oprah and President Obama. 

Another commercial I hate

Natural Grocers.  I don't think I've shopped there but I know I won't shop there either.  That woman needs help if she thinks her commercials are 'cute' or 'funny'.  They are just down right STUPID.  The other two are ok, it's the bleached blonde that is really stupid.

Somebody get a set and tell her those commercials are stupid.  The guy and the other girl can stay but the blonde needs to go...

Flaming Fruit Cake Award.

Stopped at Starbucks (66th and Wadsworth).  The girl was such a snot that not only did I not tip her we created a new award just for her.  Take the cake, soak it in gas, set it on fire then chuck it.

Am I ever happy with any retail employees?  Yes, Wal Mart on 72nd and Sheridan the cashier will insult my intelligence and my daughters but she makes us laugh and think about what she said.  She usually makes sense with her comments.  She is hilarious!  She gets no fruit cake.

Commercials I hate and won't buy their product.

There are certain commercials on TV and the radio that I ABSOLUTELY HATE and won't buy their product.  First is the, 'He bought it at Jared' commercial.  I honestly feel they deserve the Fruit Cake Award.  There is a Jared store near me but it never looks that busy and I want to throw up every time I notice it.  I'm good at ignoring things, my kids, co-workers, friends.
The next is Mattress King.  That kid needs to be fed some food.  He has width but no debth.  Which makes him look like a cardboard cut out.  Sorry kid.  But every other commercial is the Mattress King.  ANNOYING.  And I do need a mattress but not from them.  His Harry Potter commercial, he looked like he had lipstick smeared all over his face.  You have to remember it's not the kids buying mattresses it's the parents.  I think he has talent but he needs a coach and somebody with a set to tell him his commercials look stupid. 
I have a motto that more is better but not so much for commercials.  It's like having their product shoved down my throat.
Leslie Fishbeine, may she rest in peace and may the family heal, had some very annoying commercials and WAY to many of them.  Since she's left others have replaced her.
ANNOYING!!!!!!!

Stopped to get gas.

Stopped at Safeway to get gas because I needed it and I get 3 to 10 cents off per gallon.  First time in a long time I had cash so I had to go into the building to pay.  I told the guy behind the counter that the building he was in look huge inside but looked small on the outside.  Sort of like a PhotoMat.  He laughed, then I asked him if he knew what a PhotoMat was.  He laughed again then said No.  Good sense of humor, that kid.

This is the same Safeway I went to a while back and the girl on the pump next to me said, 'Wow, 10 cents off a gallon, that's like winning the lottery!'  I laughed and she was on a cell phone.

Taking my daughter to work.

I took my daughter to work this morning because we have one car between us and she can't have the car all day.  It's the weekend I know but I have stuff to do, maybe.

It's like -10 degrees outside (not really but it feels like it) and we are sitting in the car letting it warm up.  I told her

Chuck the Fruit Cake Award.

We just created this game last night.  We stopped by Arby's in Arvada.  I went to order and before I could get the last word out of my mouth the young 'lady' interrupted to scream at me, 'What size, large, medium or small?'  There was only 2 of us at the drive through so I don't think it's because she was busy.  What I think it is is anual retentive.  She has a script to follow and when I interrupted that script, well she had to scream at me.

She's the first to receive the Fruit Cake Award and if I could I'd would have chucked it at her an wished her Merry Christmas.

Christmas Fruit cake.

Some of the conversations that my daughter and I have had is about fruit cake.  The brick of flour and candied fruit that sticks to your fingers and tastes horrible.  Ok, maybe not ALL of them taste horrible but the last one I had, can't remember when, was bad enough that I haven't had any since.  SOMEBODY makes at least one a year.  Safeway has a table full of them.  Sends chills down my back.

So my daughter and I were talking.  I said something like, 'We should make a fruit cake and chuck it in Margaret's window and scream at her, "Merry Effing Christmas, Behotch".'  You know like the Discount Tires commercial, where they say, 'If you're not completely satisfied just bring your tire back.' and some young guy dressed like an older lady chucks the tire in the window of Discount Tires?

Don't know why but my daughter finds this to be hilarious.  Don't know if it's because her mom doesn't usually do things like that or it's the perfect Christmas present.  Either way I guess you had to be there to find the humor.

Margaret's a hateful older person that lives across the street from me and causes all kinds of trouble with others that live in my neighborhood and me.

I would never lower my standards to Margarets so chucking the cake is just talk.

One car between two people.

With all our money going overseas and there not being money to repair or buy cars, we share one.
There are good things about doing this.  For instance, my daughter and I talk to each other and not so much AT each other.  Although, its difficult when the distance between our jobs is 21 miles.  And I have to be to work at 6:30 am and she has to be to hers at 10:00 am.

Fun times in Denver.

The U.S. gave a GRANT to Afghanistan for $8 million to fix up a national park in Bamiyan.

And yet another project for American money.  Foreign dirt has more value than American citizens.   Don't get me wrong I'm the first in line to preserve natural wonders and the earth but what good does it do to preserve ANY foreign lands when there aren't any American's left to fund those projects?  Obama is cutting taxes for the rich so some one has to make up money for these projects which means raise the lower income taxes.  I seriously doubt that those taxes he's cutting will just be forgotten.  SOMEBODY has to make up for it.  But who?  If we don't have jobs or we are under paid WHO is paying those taxes.  Doesn't it make sense to invest in the US job market before we invest in foreign natural wonders?
Somebody explain this to me...as I revisit my diet of hot dogs (which I HATE) and beans for dinner.  I gave that diet up back in the dirt poor '70's.

How can we afford $365 million dollars for renovation of the White House when my kids live with me because they can't find a decent job?

This really chaps me.  I pay my taxes so that the White House can have a renovation of $365 million and my kids can't even afford their own place?  I'm supposed to be planning for my retirement and back when I was younger and planning my retirement my goals didn't include my children.  Honestly, I would make them move out but they would literally starve to death.  This renovation I equate to giving somebody $20.00 to buy food and instead they bought flowers for their garden.  Only there is a lot more money involved.  And I can't afford the $20.00 now.

A job in Denver that pays $8.00 an hour is the equivalent to mimimum wage of the 1970's, $1.65 an hour.  That isn't enough to pay for food for ONE person much less two.  One child makes $10.00 an hour and that isn't enough to pay for food or housing.  It's one or the other but not both.  Yet we will make sure the White House has it's $365 million dollar dress up while there are literally people starving in the US.

I didn't sign up for this.
