jd hayworth

go jd hayworth - take down that chameleon named mccain - who is no conservative. i feel sorry for arizona if they get 6 more years of that mickeymouse mccain. the illegal alien issue will only get worse if they send mccain back to congress.

bling-bling happy!

i am so excited i am about to burst

amongst other things, i am a gadget junkie. i saw an ad on craigslist for an iphone 3g 8gb with 8, yes EIGHT bling cases! i've seen iphones on craigslist before, but they were never being sold in my town nor did they include any cases. it was always just too much of an inconvenience to check them out.

i've talked to the seller and am waiting to hear back from her as to when and where we can meet.

oh happy is me! wish me luck on educating myself on how to use it - hopefully it's as easy as the motorola backflip was -- well, that is AFTER i learned the difference between using wifi and the at&t edge/3g data network. that is one lesson i will only have to learn once ... i hope.

hybrid cocks...comb


i've mentioned my cockscombs a few times on facebook - only because i think the blooms are so odd looking.

this is my second year that i have had them and i have two different kinds. one that i call a 'brainy' looking one and the other i refer to as 'frilly.' the frilly ones aren't that unique/strange looking, but they are colorful. the horticulture names are unimportant to me - and i probably could not pronounce them ... nor spell them - so i'm staying with brainy and frilly. i planted both kinds in a small space this spring.

as they started sprouting up, i noticed one had green leaves, but it had red veins running through the leaves - which is strange, as the brainy ones have green leaves and the frilly ones have burgundy red leaves.

i let it continue on with it's life, curious as to what would come of it. finally it started blooming. manOman was i surprised to see that it was producing both types of blossoms in one plant. a natural hybrid indeed.

nothing funny here

if this does not scare you into understanding what "they" are - then i'm sorry for you. but then, i'm female and i understand how sharia law applies to females. i don't think i'd fit in under that very well ... would you?

this is the shit we are up against now that a fuckin muslim has been elected to president in what was once, the most powerful nation in the world.

ain't that the truth

i got this in a forwarded email. just in case your email box has not been overflowing with the same forward, i thought i'd put it out here:

I recently applied for a building permit for a new house. It was going to be 100 ft tall and 400 ft wide with 9 turrets at various heights and windows all over the place and a loud outside entertainment sound system. It would have parking for 200 cars and I was going to paint it snot green with titty pink trim.

The City Council told me to go to hell.

So I sent in the application again, but this time I called it a Mosque.

.........Work starts on Monday...

is this what it will be like?

this morning i get out of bed and start the morning routine.

as i pass through the living room, i hunt for the remote and turn on the tv - switch it to channel 205 - fox news. without paying much attention to what is actually on the tv, i go into the kitchen to start the coffee.

i pass back through the living room, still not paying much attention to the tv, as i generally let it run for an hour or so and then i will go back and do a rewind so i can spin through the commercials.

i go into the office and crank up the computers and check that the podcasts downloaded and/or start the podcasts for download and/or copy the podcasts to the mp3 players for the malemate and myself. i also do a check on a few newsy websites to see what happened to the world overnight.

then i go back to the living room to rewind fox news and catch up with that. however, i get into the living room and there is some couple sitting at a table on the screen - not the fox & friends - and they are blabbing in some foreign language - even the ticker at the bottom of the screen is in some foreign language. i change a channel up and down and realize that it is only fox news that has been affected by the "hack."

i called 'the dish' and waited, and waited, and waited on hold. finally a foreign accent gal comes on the line to tell me that they have had several calls regarding this and not to worry.

i said: "not worry? it appears you have been hacked by some middle eastern and you say not worry?"

she says: "oh this is not any form of terrorist act."

me: "uh? and how can you be so certain of that?"

i hung up and did a little search on the net - and apparently this is not the first time that this has happened to the dish broadcast of fox network.

screw spanish - seems i need to learn farsi just to live in this country.

now the enemy has the power to take over the satellite broadcasts? scary shit indeed.

in a blink the week was gone


we had the granddaughter (tt) here last week. what a pleasure it was having her around. i hope she enjoyed herself and will come back again. she had not been back here in 6 years.

she is my step-granddaughter as i never had kids.

we took her to the airport on monday. i had leaky eyes half the trip back home from tulsa.

funny text exchange with her mom (whom i do love and appreciate for a job well done on raising tt)

when tt left california i had texted her mom to see if tt's flight departed on time. she came back with:

"yep. she's on the plane. no problem. cc (the blood grandma) called and asked her if she wanted to come out there and visit the last part of her summer. tt said i'm already going to see my grammy and grandpa hahaha!"

i replied: "omg! that is so funny! well catty funny. what did cc say when she said that? that girl sure knows how to make our day! luv it!"

the mom replied: "she (cc) said well you know we miss you out here and tt said ya well, maybe next year. hahaha!"

clearly, i'm the grammy of heart ;-)

tt & me at the silver dollar city in missouri:



tt & me atving in oklahoma:
