Some horrific misalignment of the stars and my schedule has me working 2 Sundays in a row. I can see we may have some shoppers stopping by. See you Monday.
This reminds me of an incident that took place in the UK a couple of years back. After a national newspaper had run a "name-and-shame" campaign against "known paedophiles" living in the community, some witless wonder got all stirred up and sprayed "paedo" (probably spelt wrongly) onto the front door of a – yes, you guessed it – paediatrician. We should REALLY be able to prosecute for criminal ignorance.
I love this picture. I believe this is someone at a McCain-Palin rally if I remember quickly. I'm not sure if he has a brain, but he certainly looks like he is working on an enlarged liver...

``You had offered me some advise a few weeks back about blog of note, but I haven't gotten it and think I could use some. Still dishing it??''
Yes, of course. Just drop me your email address as a comment on my blog and then delete the comment. That way only I can see your email details - and I'll send you a reply.
As a teacher of adult literacy, I find myself confronted by this type of thing all the time--"Eats Shoots and Leaves" is my canon. I hope to get through at least one day without a single cringe at a misused apostrophe.
Off topic...haas anyone else noticed that word verification is less random recently, and that often there is a real word or something that could be sounded out as a real word? Why do I bring it up? Because my word right now is "mused". Hmm
Game imported from Sweet Annie at Blissful Bohemian . Name ten things you love that begin with a specific letter. In my case, the letter E. So here goes: 1. Well, first of all there's elephants . Who doesn't love those cute little faces?? And what's not to love? Elephants are actually a lot like humans. They laugh and cry. They grieve over their dead. They play games with each other and have fantastic memories so they can even remember the rules and not go to bed mad. 2. Then there's Engelbert Humperdinck, who I don't actually love and his singing's just on this side of okay, but I do love his name. 3. I luuuuuuv eggs , deviled. Nothing fancy, just classic.

"You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that."----- from Charlotte's Web I am a soul always drawn and fascinated by the idea of " A Year of...". A Year of Rumi. A Year of Calvin and Hobbes. A year cooking with Julia Child. A project that provides guidance for the year and a ruler we can measure inward growth in the course of our circle around the sun. One year, after an early marriage and an unsurprising--except to me--early divorce, I came across a book by Sue Hubbell titled A Country Year. I didn't plan for it to take a year to read, but it did. I only read it at night before I went t
The inauguration is going to happen. People are still sniping on Facebook trying to make points against someone else's equally polarized snipe. This administration might stay around for eight years or eight days. It all seems to be in the hands of a distractible circus juggler on a high wire. What will not change is that parents will still be taking walks with their children, helping them with homework, worrying about coming home late. We will still need to feed our families and to share our love. The hungry need food. The homeless need shelter. The sick need healing, the dying comfort. A government can make that easier or harder, a priority or an obstacle. What they cannot do is to make it disappear. Life will go on with all the daily minutiae and dramas that absorb us. Some of our jobs may be a bit harder with the changes we see coming. Sharing the American pie and dream may be made be more difficult. But, life will go on. How it goes depends on us. "Where do go f
Is Morans someone I don't know or is this the moron that is waiting for a brain?
ReplyDeleteMaybe when he gets a brain, he can find a heart, too.
ReplyDeleteDebra, thats 2 organs more than he deserves.

ReplyDeleteOuch! Let's get back to our spelling lessons we have ignored for so long.
