All Summer Long

Sittin at a bar

Warning they do not disguise the curse words like they do on Sirius.

Southwest does the right thing

and then follows it up with a wrong.

A family with four unruly children was booted off a Southwest flight. The mother, Wendy Slaughter, admits the kids were "a little bit out of control".

Let me tell you if she is going to admit that you know those kids were hellions.

I think the airline did the right thing in booting them. They have to think about the comfort and safety of ALL the passengers.

Then Southwest did something wrong. They refunded their money. That is WRONG. Why should the airline lose because the mother is incapable of disciplining her kids. All you had to do was take one look at this "family" and see that they have no class or respect for others. What a bunch of white trash. Oh but wait, one child his this, and one child has that.

If you are traveling with children that you cannot control (whether because of an issue or NOT) you run the risk of being booted. I would expect to be booted from a plane, the movies, a restaurant if my child is disruptive. That is the risk with children.

OK now they have received their 15 minutes of fame now they can go stand in the welfare line.

I am so ashamed.

Since hubby and CAL have left for TN I have been listening to a different sirius station. Personally my favorite music is dance. CAL loves ROCK (thank you Guitar Hero) and my hubby will listen to oldies, oldies, and more oldies. For variety he will listen to country and we listen to Christian but not on sirius.

He cracks me up because he thinks the "kids" music today is garbage. He will become very upset when I point out the "garbage" he listens to. When it comes to music my husband is a HUGE hypocrite.

Anyway I have been listening to the currents hits music. I love it. Over the weekend they played this top 50 countdown, over and over, and over. I listened to everyone.

I am embarrassed to say that some of my favorite songs are:

Katy Perry "I kissed a girl" I HATE the lyrics but it has a beat and I can dance to it. Really I don't like the message that it gives our kids but I cannot stop singing to it.

Kid Rock "All Summer Long" Yes KID ROCK -

Flo Rida - In the Ayer

Rehab - "Sittin' at a Bar" - This song is actually quite funny. Again not something I want CAL listening to but I cannot stop singing to it. I appreciate that they try to cover the curse words.

Ting Tings - "Shut up and let me go" This song is so unique. It is stupid but.........

Believe it or not there is actually a remake/remix of "BEAT IT". Fall out Boy sings it and it sounds the same as Michael Jackson's. It is embarrassing when it comes on. Someone might actually think I am listening to MJ. I don't like it! This is NOT one of my favorites.

Natasha Bedingfield - "Pocket full of Sunshine".

Taylor Swift - "Picture to Burn"

What are some of your favorites (old or new)?

I have noticed a lot of remakes. It is kinda neat.

Horribles Parade

In Beverly Farms got a little out of control according to some. Personally I think it is more horrible that 17 girls from Gloucester High decided it would be "fun" to get pregnant.

In the parade there was a float that poked fun of the town/city of Gloucester. I will let you read about it yourself.

If you don't want to get picked on for being pregnant, don't get pregnant.

Can you tell me what

in the heck I did to my ankle. It didn't hurt earlier and now I am in so much pain I actually took a Tylenol. I don't take medicine very often.

It is a high ankle thing. I have been sitting and walking around normal, I didn't twist it or anything but about an hour ago I started feeling a slight discomfort.

Now it is more than discomfort.

What the heck did I do? I know that I am getting old. I just turned a year older in June. The good news is that I have decided to stop all future birthdays. I have had more than enough. I would like to donate the rest to someone who is 18 or 19 and cannot wait to turn 21.

Hi, my name is Lukie and I am a fudgesicleaholic

That is right I am addicted to fudgesicles. Over the years I have never realize how addicted I was until I found the perfect Fudgesicle.

Last year I bought the store brand from our local grocery store. I loved them while I was eating them, but they would tend to give me a yucky belly feeling after. I have tried all the brand names and they have never been perfect. They usually are not creamy enough or too creamy. There was never that happy medium.

Then this year I tried Hershey's Fudge-O's. They are perfect and I just cannot seem to get enough. Some women love shoes, clothes, CD's, DVD's, jewelry, or other material things. Me I just love my fudgesicles.

What is your vice? Considering all the other possibilities, I would say that I am a very boring person. To be perfectly honest, if it were not for my temper I would be "pert'near perfect".

What is wrong with people

This next story is mild compared to the other scum we find in the news today but....... When you think about it stealing is stealing.

A Wisconsin man fakes heart attacks to get out of paying restaurant and cab fares.

He will go to a restaurant and then fake a heart attack during his meal. I feel so sorry for the poor cabbies and businesses that he steals from. Restaurants are NOT getting rich and then when you have these clowns skipping out on the bill, the rest of us pay.

You also have to wonder who is paying the hospital bills when he visits. Not only is skipping on the bill he is running medical costs sky high for the rest of us.

A girl that my mother works with will go out to eat with her husband. They will call the manager and complain about something (anything) during the meal in order to get something for free. Most of the time they will either get a meal free or a dessert. They don't care just as long as they get something.

Do Migraines run in the family?

In our family I would say a definite YES!

My hubby has suffered for years. At one point he was even taking injections to relieve the pain. He also remembers his dad taking aspirin by the handful.

I am pretty sure that WB suffers. She always seems to have a headache. Now CAL appears to be a victim. They have improved since school let out but he would get them so bad at school that his teacher would send him to the nurse. Fortunately Tylenol seems to take care of his. I don't think WB is so fortunate.

Now there maybe help for all three of them. British doctors have discovered that a nerve they remove during plastic surgery to improve wrinkles may also be linked to migraines.

Not everyone is convinced but I guess if you are going under the knife anyway, why not try it.

I'm so happy

CAL called this morning to tell me how much he missed me. This make me so happy because before he left he assured me that it would be several days before "he started to miss me".

He was very excited, he was given a picture of Larry Bird and it was one of only 500 in "the whole world". Thank you Jason. I asked CAL if he wanted me to see how much we could get for it on eBay. He didn't think I was very funny. The person that gave CAL the picture showed him a Mickey Mantel card that was worth $35K.

I had to talk to them several times this morning regarding business. We really need to plan these trips better. Hubby's computer is so different than mine I cannot find anything on it. I searched for five minutes to find the back button. I hate his Toshiba computer.

Things I would love to accomplish

I would love to get a ton of things done while hubby and CAL are in TN but I am not sure how motivated I will be.

I need to get the carpets cleaned. I would vacuum CAL's room with Sebo vacuums, if I had one.

I have a ton of work to do on ebay regarding the business. It has been very slow on ebay recently and I have to try to shake things up. I am hoping for a cheap listing day and have thirty or forty auctions ready to go.

I should get out and work in the back yard. I have a ton of weeds to pull. Unfortunately I know there is poison ivy/poison oak in them there weeds. I am not ready to get my second dose yet. I know that eventually I will have to but I am not sure this is the time.

I need to get the stock room cleaned up, it is quite a mess. I also have several boxes to get ready to be shipped on Monday.

I think I better get going instead of wasting time on this blog.

And the Darwin Awards go to......

the morons that decided to take their canoes over a dam that was currently under construction. Divers pulled six bodies out of the Sava River in Solvenia.

It is my personal opinion that people like this do not deserve to be "rescued". They are out risking their lives and the lives of the people trying to "save" them, for a thrill.

The trip was organized and dubbed "The Final Descent". After their canoes broke apart going through the dam gates the idiots were sucked into the underwater tunnel leading to the generator turbines. No one was wearing life vests. I mean why would they, they are going to take a canoe over a dam.

There are still five people missing. There should be a "no rescue" clause when the activity is a stupid "thrill" activity.

Is anyone sick of hearing about ......

Amy Winehouse? This "lady" is a fruitcake and the media cannot seem to get enough.

Is this really news?

The past few days I have been reading the "news headlines" and have been wondering..."is this really news?" Some of the examples:

Protesters yell "war criminal" at President Bush. OH my, they "yelled" at him. Give me a break. I am sure that his wife yelled more insulting things to him at dinner last night.

Cindy Brady is hung over on the air. Apparently "miss brady" had too much wine the night before a talk radio show and had to excuse herself to go "throw-up". This made the headline news at CNN.

MO slaps BO. Yes Michelle Obama slaps her husband during their daughters soccer game. Why in the world is the media following this joker around like he is a saviour. The media has already determined him to be the next president. I don't know how you feel, but I want to cast my vote.

Honestly folks is this garbage really news? I expect better from CNN.

Sometimes **shaking head with disgust**

Hubby and son were packing for TN last night and an argument broke out. I am not really sure who was yelling louder hubby or son.

As it turns out the hubby said that CAL could not take his MP3 players on the trip. For what reason only hubby really knows. (he said something about him losing it? Sometimes I think hubby has lost it) He honestly has no idea how to pick his battles. He will get on CAL's back for the most silly things and then wonder why everything is an argument.

I love my husband but sometimes **shaking head with disgust**

They have arrived in WDC and should be heading toward TN as I type this. During their short layover in WDC I had to inform both hubby and CAL how to use a cell phone. It amazes me. The hubby will yell "hello, hello, hello" in rapid session. Every time I try to answer him he is already yelling "hello" again. CAL he just won't stop interrupting you when you are trying to talk. Now they are both acquiring me of being grumpy. If I heard "are you going to miss me" one more time? I starting answering "if you give me time, maybe"

What a great idea MLB

Every team in MLB will wear a special "stars and stripes" themed cap today. The United States flag will appear in the team's logo.

I am glad we didn't hear about this earlier Obama might have tried to put a stop to this "American Flag" business.

Baseball is trying to raise funds and awareness for the Welcome Back Veterans program. They are trying to raise $100 million and provide 100,000 jobs for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

There will also be other items (besides the hats) available.

The hats will also be worn on September 11th.

I have to get CAL one of these hats.

The continuing saga

My neighbor talked (well yelled) at me yesterday for the first time in almost a month and a half. I guess you could call that progress. Nothing was really solved.

She can't handle the truth.

It looks like I am going to get a VACATION after all

I am probably jinxing myself but...... I might be getting a much needed 5 night 6 day vacation. It could start about noon on Friday and come to an end about 11 pm Wednesday.

Stay tuned for more details.

Sad, Strange, and Disturbing.

That seems to be the categories for today's news.

First we have sad: A 49 year-old woman falls out of her chair onto the floor, where she lies facedown and thrashes. She then goes still. No one came to her aid for over an hour. How horrible. Now for the shocking part, she was in an emergency room at a Brooklyn Hospital. This is a very cold world that we live in that she could lay there an hour and NO ONE even came to check on her.

Second we have strange: A 14 year-old boy has been arrested after he pushed an elderly (71 year-old) man (who was fishing with his grandson) off a dock in Falmouth. The little punk showed no remorse when police arrested him. The gentleman is lucky to be alive, because he is unable to swim. The little angels identity is being protected because he is a juvy. Wow his parents must be proud.


Third we have disturbing: A man has been arrested in Ohio for collecting and drinking boys urine. This is not his first offense for this crime. He apparently suffers from a "disorder". It makes him closer to his victims.
