We were discussing Life Insurance. She asked me how much I pay to insure myself just in case something happens. I told her that my employer has insurance on me and therefore I don't pay for it out of my own pocket. She is thinking of insuring herself and her kids. Then she says "OMG, remember what you found in Mothers files"? Again, the thoughts of how much my Mother disliked me made me laugh and then Sis T busted out laughing. We were laughing so hard we both began to cry. Here is what we were hysterically laughing about.

After my Mother died, I was tasked with going through her things. Upon searching, I found the Gerber Life Insurance Policies that my Mother took out on all of us kids. Every child had a policy worth $2,000. There was one policy that was for $5,000. That policy was for me. When I found those papers, I thought back to my childhood and it hit me....no wonder she was so hell bent on taking her time rushing me to the ER whenever I got hurt........lol. There was always an excuse. She needed to finish her beer. She needed to get the laundry off the line. Her favorite soap was on and we needed to wait. She had to stop for gas....lol. Mother was hoping to cash in!! This woman probably figured that with all of my accidents or the many times my sisters antics almost killed me, she would rake in some big $$$$.

I remember calling my sisters when I discovered the insurance policies and they all laughed. They teased me for what I discovered. Back then Sis T. Commented "Oh my Mother didn't like you much" (slight giggle from Sis T.) The funniest comment was from Sis M. She said "We all knew Mother hated you, we just didn't want to tell you? "Now you know and have proof" (big laugh from Sis M.) I absolutely love the sense of humour that my Dad instilled in all of us. LOVE IT!! I still have those policies and I giggle each time I think of them. My Mother, there was no end to her ugly ways and I thank the good lord above that she abandoned me with one of the finest men on this earth. Man that woman cracks me up.

I have never though of taking life insurance out on my sons. It just feels creepy.

The sun is out and the sky is clear and blue. What a beautiful day!
I spent a few hours on the phone last night with someone who cried out for help. My heart feels good about what transpired. They will seek more help with the phone numbers provided.
Now? Now I am relaxing on the couch. Clothes are optional and not required. What is required is a jar of peanut butter, a spoon, a glass of icy milk, a good book and some music.

Life is good. I can't help but think this way. The cool ocean breeze is caressing my body as if drifts though the open windows. Sit here with me. The serenity is contagious.



I hope your day is going well.

I wonder what the two dogs are thinking?


Can you name this Super Hero?


I can't give up, I won't give up....I can't I can't I can't!!!!


I guess it's just one of the all time mysteries of the feline variety.
These are courtesy of Sis M. She is trying to convince me to get a cat. "But they are so cute" she says.

I like to be rambunctious in the office and will play a joke or two on people. The world I work in is made of people who need the levity during the down times. I think an innocent joke is needed from time to time. It does help to show how much you are liked and accepted. Well today I was the one who was the victim. I live by the rule: Everything has a place and everything in its place. I was hit where it hurts.....lol.
I walked into my office and could see in my peripheral vision that some of my books were out of place. The second and third shelves were switched around completely. Even though my head was down as I was reading a report, I still saw it. I then noticed that a plant was off center. As I scanned the room, the joke came to light. The unknown culprits had moved pretty much everything in my office. Some of the items were way off and others just slightly. But still, even slightly I can notice what is off center. My computer screen had been tilted and lifted, the mouse was plugged into another portal, my desk drawers had been switched around and my blinds were tilted upward. The phone had been moved forward a wee bit and my tea cup was not on the coaster.
The perpetrator of this tragedy has not come forward. But I swear on the grave of my beloved chicken, Penny (who died when I was 8 yrs old)......I will find out!

A few weeks back, I wrapped and taped toilet paper around all of the desk items of the officer on front desk duty. This can't be his retribution? Could it? I didn't think he had it in him....lol

The lunch time debate was...................
While using a public restroom or your home bathroom...Do you?
a. Wash your hands before?
b. Wash your hands after?
c. Wash them before and after?

1. One guy said that with everything he touches during the day, he wants his hands clean before he grabs a hold of his dragon before he pees. (yes, he called it a dragon) And since he knows that he is clean because the tissue paper is between him and his skin, he doesn't wash after.
2. Another one said that since he technically doesn't touch an open orifice, the need to wash his hands before is a moot point. But he does wash after so he doesn't spread any germs. (but if his fingers don't touch an orifice, then why does he feel he would spread germs?)
3. Two others said that they wash before and after because the germs are everywhere, so why trust anyone? They went on to say that they use hand cleaner throughout the day.
4. Only one guy said that he has never washed before or after and nothing has happened to him. His thoughts on this were scientific. He said that it doesn't matter because for germs to be truly killed off, the water would have to be so hot, it would cause 3rd Degree burns. So it is a waste of time.
5. A few said that they don't wash at home, period. (I hope these two aren't the cooks in the house)



Are you a, b or c?

Man jailed after attacking mosque with package of bacon
(Source) msnNOW.com; 1 day ago

As far as hate crimes go, this has to be one of the more memorable. Wayne Stilwell has been sentenced to 10 months after launching a "bacon attack" on the Central Mosque in Edinburgh, Scotland. In January, the 25-year-old wrapped the door handles of the mosque with bacon before throwing strips of the pork product through the doors and onto the floor because he knew that "Muslims regard bacon as unclean." Stilwell was caught on security camera and later arrested. On Tuesday, the day that he was sentenced, Stilwell's attorney said that his client was sorry about his offensive actions and was ready to begin his prison sentence.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A hate crime? Really? I would classify this as pure and simple vandalism. Nothing more.
The crime he should be charged with is wasting good bacon!
How many times have we joked about this or heard someone say that they would love to do this?

News from the family. My niece in Germany is going to have a baby girl in 5 months. My Great Niece in Kelseyville is also pregnant. Both of them made their announcements tonight. This makes the count of nieces/nephews up to 43. I have been an aunt since I was about 5 years old. My brother is younger than his first niece and nephew. The scariest part of this is that in about 10 years some of my Great Great Nieces and Nephews will be old enough to have babies. And yes, all of them are blood kin. My family is full of horny little buggers. During one year, I was pregnant and at the same time, so were 3 of my sisters, my brothers wife and one niece...lol

Life goes on and on and on in my family.

I am so pleased that my sons never followed this trend when they were growing up. I saw a kid wearing his pants so low that he was grabbing his belt as he was walking. Why didn't he just wear his pants normally? He wouldn't have the need to grab them to keep them from falling past his knees. I am far from not knowing what is trendy or fashionable. but I do know what is disgusting.



AMEN TO THIS!!


There are some city schools with ordinances prohibiting this trend. Unfortunately, the parents of the kids end up suing for violation of rights. How about my rights not to see their dirty chonies?
