I've been reading some of my friend Kat's poems over the past few days, not the first time I've read her lovely words and I surely hope it won't be the last!!
MORE ON IDIOTS!
A big-city counterfeiter decided the best place to pass off his phony $18 bills would be in some small hick Texas town. So, he got into his new wheels and off he went.
He found a tiny town with a single store. He entered the store and handed one of the bogus bills to the man behind the counter. "Can you change this for me, please?" he said.
The store clerk looked at the $18 bill a short time, then smiled and told the man, "Ah reckon so, Mister. Ya want 2 nines or 3 sixes?"

And then there's Alabama!!
If you believe in creation as espoused in the Bible, then Adam and Eve's children would actually have had to have sex with one another for the earth to have become populated.
This is surely proof positive that Alabama was at one time the Garden of Eden.

I'm bright and perky this morning,,,,,well almost. I've already been to my friend Kat's blog and got my much needed laugh for the day. She sure does manage to trip a wire somewhere in my mind that brings back memories that I'd thought were long gone. My mother and grandmother HAD some of those damned molds! She is going to have to call Ditto by his first name though, cause even though I READ Ditto, I SEE Dildo...is this a sign of old age? A declining mentality? OR WORSE, a sign of Redneckdom?????

Last evening I climbed into my truck for that wearying drive home. It really takes little effort on my part because that truck just knows the way. I rarely remember actually going from one point to the next ( I'm sure there must be a warning in there somewhere for other drivers that I meet along the route) but sitting for 40 mins is tiring. After slopping through the soggy yard in the leftovers from the ice I walk into the house and there sits my soon to be 51 yr old hubby in the recliner, my 6 yr old grandson on the sofa, AND the cat. All whining and asking "what's for dinner"? That really pisses me OFF, but to avoid another round of "you haven't REALLY cooked in 5 years", I slam around pots and pans and finally throw together a decent meal that I'm too freaking tired to eat! The whole point of this grip is,,,,Where is it written that the Lady of the House is also the extra wage earner, cook, laundress, nurse, babysitter, sex slave (yeah right!), shit scrubber, litter box emptier, floor mopper, vaccum specialist, lawn mower, ect, ect, ect...????Please send me the answers soon, so I can finally accept the laws of the land and stop thinking thoughts of murder and mayhem!!!!

IN ARKANSAS:
How can you tell a Yankee driver in Arkansas? When THEY come up behind two friends parked in the street to talk, THEY won't get up on the sidewalk and go around like everyone else.

Third time a charm??? *&%#(*& better be! I've tried 3 freakin times to post to this and keep losing my connection.
PS,,made it to work today finally!

We might not all be rocket scientists, but we may be higher up the evolutionary ladder than....
Idiot #1 - A medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control center: Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little two year old daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful there was not a need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down, and at the end of the conversation happened to say that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants. I told her that now she should bring her daughter into the Emergency room right away.
Idiot #2 - A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed zone, it not only measured his speed using radar it also photographed his car. He later received in the mail a ticket for $40.00 and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40.00. Several days later, he received another letter from the police dept. that contained a picture of handcuffs. He paid the $40.00.

I awoke to SNOW and ICE this morning therefore, I did not even attempt to make it to work. I drive a Ford Pickup with an extended cab and the rearend tends to enjoy kissing the frontend whilst on a bit of ice. Sooooo,,,I was lazy and slept until 6:30 this morning and was having a lovely, lazy, day until I decided to remove the cat's litter to the great outdoors. I had a fight with the back door while trying to NOT empty the litter on my deck and ended up with it smacking me on the side of my head. Now I'm sporting a bruised cheek, a nearly black eye, and a tiny cut on my nose that bled like a stuck hog! Maybe I should have navigated the snowy, icy byways to work?

FOREIGN REDNECKS DO EXIST!!!
Dave & Johnno

Two Aussies, Davo and Johnno, were adrift in an old lifeboat. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, Davo stumbled across an old lamp. He rubbed the lamp vigorously and a genie came forth. This genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three.

Without giving much thought to the matter, Davo blurted out, "Make the entire ocean into Victoria Bitter!"

The genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the entire sea turned into the "hard earned thirst" quencher.

The genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping of beer on the hull
broke the stillness as the two men considered their circumstances. Johnno looked disgustedly at Davo whose wish had been granted.

After a long, tension-filled moment Johnno said: "Nice going Davo!
Now we're going to have to piss in the boat."

I ain't about to fuss about the rest of MY day,,,,,,,,,,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARKANSAS CITY (EAP) -- A Little Rock woman was killed yesterday after leaping through her moving car's sunroof during an incident best described as a "mistaken rapture" by dozens of eye-witnesses.

Thirteen other people were injured after a twenty-car pile-up resulted from people trying to avoid hitting the woman, who was apparently convinced that the rapture was occurring when she saw twelve people floating up into the air, and then passed a man on the side of the road who she believed was Jesus.

"She started screaming `He's back! He's back!' and climbed out through the sunroof and jumped off the roof of the car," said Everet Williams, husband of 28-year-old Georgann Williams who was pronounced dead at the scene.

"I was slowing down but she wouldn't wait till I stopped," Willams said. She thought the rapture was happening and was convinced that Jesus was gonna lift her up into the sky," he went on to say.

"This is the strangest thing I've seen since I've been on the force," said Paul Madison, first officer on the scene.

Madison questioned the man who looked like Jesus and discovered that he was on his way to a toga costume party, when the tarp covering the bed of his pickup truck came loose and released twelve blow-up sex dolls filled with helium, which then floated up into the sky.

Ernie Jenkins, 32, of Fort Smith, who's been told by several of his friends that he looks like Jesus, pulled over and lifted his arms into the air in frustration and said "Come back," just as the Williams' car passed him, and Mrs. Williams was sure that it was Jesus lifting people up into heaven as they drove by him.

"I think my wife loved Jesus more than she loved me," the widower said when asked why his wife would do such a thing.

When asked for comments about the twelve sex dolls, Jenkins replied "This is all just too weird for me. I never expected anything like this to happen."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been mightily amused by reading my friend Kat's blog today as well as the antics of her friend's Carl and Leslie. Life is good!!!
AhhhhChooo,,, I'm back!! Having seen the sun for a total of 3 minutes yesterday and for approximately 10 today, I now hear the weatherman is spouting off about snow and sleet and stuff after midnight tonight, AND the clouds are steadily rolling in. I was awakened this morning (under much protest mind you) at 5 a.m. After sitting in my green wing chair with feet up on ottoman (yes that damned ottoman!) and having my coffee, stared at the wall for about 30 minutes, I finally started the process of getting dressed. Now I read my friend Katrina's rendition of the tortures of underwear and her friend Carl's on his boxers, and I feel for them, I really do! I am also among those who think that underwear is some sicko's way of torturing mankind! So I do every little routine thing about getting dressed that I can do in the nude before donning the horrid undies (and this is NOT a pretty sight!!). I was dressed at last by 6:45 where upon I wake my cranky little grandson who is also not a morning person. We go through the ritual of food, juice, washing of face, brushing of teeth, socks, jeans, shirt and finally I have him dressed and it's time to take him to school and myself to the office. That north wind was cold and blowing quite stiffly when we bounced out the door and I wade through that bog again to my truck just to discover that I'd left my keys on the table. BUT,,,,the sun was shining!!!

Welcome to Arkansas

Many, many years ago,
When I was 23
I got married to a widow
Pretty as could be

This widow had a grown-up daughter
With flowing hair of red
My father fell in love with her
And soon the two were wed

This made my dad my son-in-law
And changed my very life
Now my daughter was my mother
For she was my fathers wife

To complicate the matters worse
Although it brought me joy
I soon became a father
Of a bouncing baby boy

My little baby then became
A brother-in-law to dad
And so became my uncle
Though it made me very sad

For if he was my uncle
Then that also made him brother
To the widows grown up daughter
Who, of course was my stepmother

Fathers wife then had a son
Who kept them on the run
And he became my grandson
For he was my daughters son

My wife is now my mothers mother
And it makes me blue
Because, although she is my wife,
She's my grandma too.

If my wife is my grandmother
Then I am her grandchild
And everytime I think of it
It simply drives me wild

For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw
As the husband of my granmother
I am my own Grandpa!

----Unknown
I've had ENUFF!!!
I can't remember the last time I saw the sun for more than a few minutes so maybe this puke green color will somehow send up a SIGN that will lend encouragement to THOSE/HE who have/has control over such things to send down some rays over this poor drenched, soggy, sloppy, east- central part of my great State (which is Arkansas by the way!) On the way to work this morning, I crossed 2 streams, and 2 gullies which were not on the same route home last night. I also waded murkish, water bogged sod that squished almost up to the tops of my Dexters on my way across the front yard to my truck this morning. And did I mention that I did all of this just to come to work on a Saturday morning????

Whew,,,it's been a few days since I've had time to pop in here. All these people wanting their tax returns prepared,,,I just don't understand it, they should realize that I need a break to come here sometimes! All work and no play makes this old gal cranky.

I haven't seen the sunshine in several days, that also makes me cranky! I think I'd be able to handle these rednecks much better if I had a little sun on the subjects occasionally. Don't get me wrong, I probably meet most of the qualifications for redneckdom BUT,,,if I may say so, I am a redneck with a touch of culture...for one thing, I don't normally have a bunch of dogs under my front porch (or I won't have when that big "A" I'm married to finishes BUILDING the damned front porch.

Come ON you folks who live in the warm sunny spots of the world,,,share some with me!!!!

Other Tips of Importance!!

Never take a beer to a job interview or ask if they press charges.
Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them.
Always say "Excuse me" after getting sick in someone else's car.
It's considered tacky to take a cooler to church.
Even if you're certain that you are included in the will, it's considered tacky to drive a U-Haul to the funeral home.
The socially refined never fish coins out of public toilets, especially if other people are around.
If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets.
Always provide an alibi to the police for family members.

THEATER ETIQUETTE
-----------------
Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up immediately after the movie has ended.

Refrain from talking to characters on the screen. Tests have proven they can't hear you.

To be on the Safe Side,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Unlike clothes and shoes, a toothbrush should never be a hand-me-down item.
While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should be done in private using one's OWN truck keys.

Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for several days. However, if you live alone, deodorant is a waste of good money.


Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a social no-no, as they tend to detract from a woman's jewelry and alter the tastes of
finger foods.

Plucking unwanted nose hair is time-consuming work. A
cigarette lighter and a small tolerance for pain can accomplish the same goal and save hours. Its a good idea to keep a bucket of water handy when using this method.
And not for the faint of heart!!

RING!
Southeast Treatment Plant, this is Dave..."

Is this the water department?

"Yes Ma'am, for most of this area...

"Good. I have some very technical questions to ask you about the water"

I'll try and help..."Why are my nipples getting so hard?"

You're not really serious...

"I AM SO!! My nipples... they're hard and they have this white coating on
them!"

Uhhhh, huh... hard, uhhh, nipples with white, uhh... stuff...

"Not only that, they're getting warped!"

I see..."They used to be soft, pink and round!"

I'm sure they were...

"Now they really look disgusting!"

I'm sure they do...

"So I want to know what you're going to do about this!"

I really don't think I can help you. Have you discussed this with your
personal physician?

"Yes I have! He said I should call you because he thought it was from the
water!

"I see... uhhhh, just why and how does he think the water is causing this?

"He said cleaning them in boiling water sometimes does that"

Sounds painful... can't you just sponge them off?

"Painful?! THE BABY BOTTLE NIPPLES ARE THE ONES I'M TALKING ABOUT!

"Now I understand...

"Are you going to buy me new ones?

"Why would we do that?

"Because your water ruined these. My baby won't suck them anymore. He's been
sick and I think it's from the white stuff... he used to really suck...

"May I ask how old your baby is?

"He's six, going on seven"

Six... and he refuses the bottle? Maybe he's getting a little old for the
bottle...

"DON'T TELL ME HOW TO RAISE MY CHILD!"

I wasn't. How long have you been using these nipples?

"Since he was born"

Hmmmmm. My guess is the white film is from the calcium carbonate in the
water... kind of like bathtub ring of the nipple... and they are hard and
warped because of being boiled and bitten for six years...

"So! You are refusing to pay!

Well, that's not for me to decide. I was only trying to suggest they might
just be plain worn out.

"THEY WOULDN'T BE WORN OUT IF YOUR WATER WAS ANY GOOD!"

There is really nothing more I can do for you...

"JUST HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET MY MONEY?"

Well, why don't you just run down to our main office. There you can file an
insurance claim...

"What good would that do? Will they give me the money?

"They will investigate and make a judgement whether to settle or not..."

Well, you sure haven't been any help! How do I get them to pay more attention
than you have?"

Just show them your nipples!!

Life's a Bitch and then you die.
Rednecks are in a class all their own. Nothing they do should be a surprise although there are things they do that the normal, run of the mill person would hesitate before doing.
