we're surrounded

Remember the movie ET?

More specifically, do you remember hearing ET's voice when he was close to death and he called out to Elliot?

"Elllllleeeeeottt"

"Elllllleeeeeeottt"

Well, imagine if you substituted the word "idiot" and said it that same way.

Welcome to my planet.

remembering

We came together strongly as Americans the days and months afterwards... no racial or socioeconomic boundaries... just people proud to be American. Though we have slipped back into our old roles a bit, it is good to know it is there... lying dormant... underneath all our "issues".

GOD.

BLESS.

AMERICA!

Dear 75 degrees,
I love you. I really do. But I must tell you that I do not love the company you have been keeping recently. That "wet dishcloth" friend of yours, what's her name? Humidity? Yeah, her. You need to dump that chick, she is a drag on our friendship!!
Until you come to your senses, I am going to keep my distance. When you realize she is no good for your popularity, and you finally get away from her, I will go out with you again.
Love,
:o) mg

I love this little picture of a girl who is knee deep in alligators, but still trying to drain the swamp.

Reminds me of something a friend of mine (who as it turns out used to work with my dad 35 or so years ago in NC - so she is practically long lost family!) says:

"Your mouth writes checks that your ass can't cash."

But, as Number One said to me recently: Keep your eyes on the prize, Mom.

besides, none of us get out alive

One Blizzard at a time.

now we are five

Guess who's five?

The unprepared redneck parents are so clever when they realize that there are no more birthday candles in the house.




"Come on honey, make a wish and blow out the lighter!"



"I want that piece right there!"



"I'm still three," she said as she waited patiently for her slice of cake.
