Sex Offenders


A locally elected representative in my district was found guilty of molesting many young people for years.  He was found guilty and sentenced to jail for (I think) 2 years.  He is now out of jail.  Lo and behold there is talk of this SICK person running for re-election.  What is wrong with our system that will let a convicted felon be allowed to represent us in Congress?  This makes me sick!!!!!



Smile at a stranger today

I've been away....


I just return from the trip from H**l.  I had to go to Boston

for a funeral.  I have not seen snow for many years. I hated it

as a kid, now as an adult I hate it even more!!!!!!  The snow

was, at some points, over my head.  As the cars skidded by

us, my knuckles got whiter and whiter.  As much as I wanted

to be there for my friends, I could not wait to get home to a

chilly 68 degrees.  Now I know why I moved.

Have a happy day

Restaurant Service


Maybe this is just my imagination, but have you ever felt like a second-class citizen in an upper class restaurant?  The reason I’m asking this question - last weekend several very well dressed ladies went to dine at a “snazzy manzzy” steak house.  Our table was way in the back, not to far from the kitchen.  Our waiter looked at us with complete disregard.  I must say dinner was really excellent with little input from our waiter. Now, it’s dessert time and out comes our new friendly waiter (same old one but with a smile) we ordered coffee. He became so friendly as he handed us the check (eck eck). He was falling all over himself  (perhaps you think he wanted a extra generous tip??).

What a fool!!  Don’t judge the ladies by their cover.

Five grannie apples for the food
No grannie apples for the waiter and only 10 percent tip

What is happening with the weather?


What is happening with the weather around the world? California has had the most rainfall it has ever had (it is still raining).  Florida had the hottest summer in years. We have had very little rain, now it’s so dry we’re afraid of fires.  Australia has so much rain that the flooding is so bad it has caused problems for areas the size of Italy and France.  We just had a snowstorm that blanked the entire Northeast for several days.  New York is still trying to shovel itself out. The word is that the union has something to do with the lack of snow removal (now I know why I live in Florida- no unions).

Keep your chins up summer will be here in six months.


Laugh a lot it’s good for wrinkles.

Facebook - It's Out of Hand

Facebook, in my opinion, has gotten out of hand.

Two young, fourteen-year-old girls (best friends) have a fight.  One of these so-called friends found a photograph of a very sexy young woman (unknown person).  The friend proceeds to identify this photo as her ex-friend.  She went on to give the girls name, telephone number and cell number.  If this wasn't bad enough, when she gave the address it came with directions on how to get to the house.

What was supposed to be a prank turned into a very scary crisis.  The victim and her family have been bombarded with e-mails, letters and phone calls from all kinds of sicko's.  Strange men have been driving around her home and school.

She's afraid to go to school.  Her once all A report card is close to failing.  Since no one has done anything to her or to hurt her (so police say) the police can't do anything but reprimand the ex-friend.

Be sure you check what your children are doing on Facebook.

Give your family extra hugs today.

Diamond in the Skies


Fact or fiction:

Just in case any of you are planning to be around in thirty million light years there is talk of a new planet.  Several very famous scientists have come up with the idea that makes this planet worth waiting for.  It is suppose to be encrusted with my very favorite gem stone….DIAMONDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  
This may be a hoax but it certainly sounds great to me.

Five Grannie apples for the diamonds


Keep warm and safe.

Renew Old Acquaintances


The holiday season is here now.  It's time to renew old acquaintances and family.

A brother and sis who have not spoken to each other (except for an e-mail once in awhile) for fifteen years were reunited. Time goes by so very quickly!!!!  The reunion was really wonderful; they hugged, kissed and cried the entire weekend.

Two brothers, who live not to far from each other, have not been in touch for several years. They were reunited at a basketball game. It takes time to get back to a normal relationship (they're working on it).

Old friends never have time to write or call each until one of them becomes very ill.  It was too late. They found time to fly up north for the funeral. Let that be a lesson for all of us, good friends are hard to find!!!!!!!!!!!

There are so many stories like these.  Life is short!!! Let's not waste a moment of the time that we have left thinking about what we should have done. Do it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Thumbs up for old friends

Thumbs down for not remembering old friends


Happy Holidays
