So Far So Good

The Empress and I headed to #1's for Thanksgiving. Seems he couldn't get off work. Add to that BB is now experiencing "split" holidays caused by in-laws. Yesterday was our anniversary so we went to the beach and split a bottle of champagne. Took some pictures and had some folks take pictures of us.
I told ya that to tell ya this:
Watching E try to send picture messages from her phone is like watching Ozzy Osborne try to empty the trash.

Just Saying

If I were President. And if it was definitely the last Thanksgiving I would have in the White House.
Pardon the bird my ass!!! I'm eating this one! Chef get your plucking fingers ready and cook this baby down.
But there are lots of reasons I will never be President............

Thankful

Each year we all post about being thankful on this day. I would like to keep my list short and sweet. 2009 has been (so far) one of the best years in a long time. I am most thankful for my friends, reunions, and rekindlings.
Yall have a great day and always please remember:

A Solution

Health care and climate change are really big issues. I have a solution that may make everyone happy.
Put all of the old people on icebergs..................

So I am sitting in a restaurant here in South Alabama. There was a table near me occupied by 3 young men and 4 young ladies, all about high school junior/senior age. There was also a young man of the same peer group bussing tables. One of the young men decided that he did not like something on his plate and chose to call the buss boy over. Proceeded to give him a ration of crap. Buss boy took the plate and went to the kitchen to fix. One wonders why the guy didn’t complain to his wait staff. Anyway the 7 young folks seemed to get great amusement out of bossing the employee around.
NOW
In this area of the country statistics will show that two of the young men will end up serving hard time in a State prison. Also 3 of the young ladies will have children out of wedlock in the next two years.
As to the young man working at cleaning tables? Well I would wager his future is a lot brighter and that you and I will not be supporting him or his offspring.
Just saying here…………………….

All Right Ladies

To any woman who may stumble across this blog hear this loud and hear this clear!
Sugar does not give five rats' asses nor an effin Tinker's Damn what the latest "research" says about mammograms and self examinations. I have three dear friends whose lives were SAVED because of early detection. If any of these "research professionals" want to discourage early detection let them practice it on the women in THEIR lives.
Ladies be informed, protect yourselves. Gentlemen check your lady out. One of my friend's cancer was detected by her hubby.
Now I have not heard from my dear friend Blisters on this one but I know he would agree.
DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THIS LATEST "RESEARCH". I don't care what numbers may say. We are talking about YOUR LIFE!!!

(but I don't have an opinion)

Dear Couple Next Door
Either take a break, be a little more quiet, or invite me over.

"I Love This Bar"
If I had the tech ability I would insert his song here but yall know Sugar's tech abilitiy. Anyway.............
The bar at this Holiday Inn is a petrie dish of Redneck. Each table has two people. Two women bad mouthing their multiple ex husbands and two guy bad mouthing their multiple ex wives. Now of course this was not as important as the results of the Alabama and Auburn games this weekend and the prediction of who would kick whom's ass.
Anyway we have the requisite old guy who was drafted in WWII talking to the old guy drafted in Korea. We have the women/men bemoaning the fact that there are no good women/men out there yet looking aroung the bar to hook up for the night. I was fortunate to have a gay Candian sitting with his local acquistion for the night.
This place has 4 tables in the non-smoking section. I never saw any wait staff venture near them. The Health Department rating is 75% "Needs Improvement". I will be here all week. You can't make this shit up.

I Am An Excellent Driver

(but maybe need navigation help)
So today I am headed to beautiful downtown South Alabama. This is a driving trip so I don't have to leave early and I can take my time. I left the house, went and filled up the tank and hit the road. About 30 minutes I parked, got out of my car and was about to get my bag to put onto the shuttle. Saw the clothes hanging in my car vice a suitcase. Thank goodness my parking place gives me the first 30 min free. Only added about an hour to my trip.
And on my way in I saw the Star Yeast Factory. Had been driving for awhile so I started imagining what the machine looked like. I think I will drop this line of free association....................
But I am here. I am on the last trip of 2009. Normally I hit the road at least 2 times a month but this is it for the year. I guess I will have to squeeze all that debauchery into this week.
And we wonder why no medical school will take the offer of my body for research.
