I told my mother that everyone hates me. She said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet.

Stop for a moment
Then think
What is this day?
And the days that follow this weekend all about?
For some it means nothing
Others know about the ultimate sacrifice
Happy Easter!

My achin' back
Can't sit up for more than a few minutes
It's killin' me
But, there's this
I copied it from another blog
Just wanna see if the Cranky Ol' Man can use it this weekend
Talk about a stupid headline

I'm gonna miss this
There are a number of bloggers I know who, along with me, subscribe to iGurgle
I use it as my home page
The really neat thing about it is it can be set up with as many... or as few gadgets as I want
One of my gadgets is Daily Sniglets
It's misnamed
The Sniglet changes whenever the page refreshes
An example from this morning that I really like is:
Another gadget I really like is the Useless Knowledge gadget
Here's an offering from this morning:
The reason I'm gonna miss these is because:
I don't care what they say
Gurgle+ ain't the same thing

Eine Kleine Andere Musik
Then there's this story:
"Where Do Redheaded Babies Come From?"
After their baby was born, the panicked father
went to see the Obstetrician... 'Doctor,' the
man said, 'I don't mind telling you, but I'm a
little upset because my daughter has red hair.
She can't possibly be mine!!'
'Nonsense,' the doctor said.
'Even though you and your wife both have
black hair, one of your ancestors may have
contributed red hair to the gene pool.'
'It isn't possible,' the man insisted. 'This can't
be, our families on both sides had jet-black
hair for generations.'
'Well,' said the doctor, 'let me ask you this.
How often do you have sex?'
The man seemed a bit ashamed. 'I've been
working very hard for the past year.. We only
made love once or twice every few months.'
'Well, there you have it!' The doctor said
confidently.
'It's rust.'

I can't remember where this started
A little while back (not my) Uncle Skip mentioned something about V Word collections
I'm pretty sure he included me, even though no names are mentioned
He is correct
I do have an extensive collection of the those "Captcha"
I am perfectly willing to share
Here are some samples

I'm really sick o' this crap
The gosh darn pols have created a real mess
I'm not talkin' about the freaking Sequester or the financial garbage
I mean what's happening to rational discussion
The only people is this country who are speaking to each other are the extremes
The only things they are saying are insults to the other extreme
That's only pushing those they disagree with that much further away
That's leaving those in the middle ducking so they aren't a target
It seems like any time someone stands up to make himself (or herself) heard, he (or she) is labeled and categorized such that they are no longer in the middle
Just reading some of the $#!+ that comes from the mouths and the pens of the so-called Republicans and Democrats makes me wonder where all of the intelligent folks went
It seems like any time someone has a decent idea or plan some big-mouthed @$$hole hijacks and wrecks it
It must be all the great technology
It is allowing stuff to go to hell in a handbasket a lot faster now

In for a penny
In for a Euro
Dang!
I forgot the Irish went over
Anyhow, if I'm gonna comment on a day, I may as well go all in
That said, I went back and looked at what I posted two years ago:
An old Irish farmer's dog goes missing and he's inconsolable.Worse, there's more from where that originally came
His wife says "Why don't you put an advert in the paper?"
He does, but two weeks later the dog is still missing.
"What did you put in the paper?" his wife asks.
"Here boy" he replies.
I'll spare ya

You know what we're gonna be bombarded with tomorrow...
That's right
Every second person in the western part of the Northern Hemisphere is going to wear some green and add either an "O" or a "Mc" to the first part of his last name
Worse, they're going to try to speak in a brogue and they'll sound like they're imitating an American Indian named Kim O'Sabe (thing Lone Ranger)
I've already seen a bunch of four leaf clovers posted here and there
What's that supposed to mean
The symbol St Patrick used was a shamrock with three leaves
The three leaves representing the Holy Trinity
You know... Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Enough o' that
I don't talk about religion much
...and I about rhymed that, which wouldn't have been pretty

Rigorous Honesty
In that I am telling you up front that the following are both stolen from another site.
I wonder what Uncle Skip will have to say about these?

GENTLEMEN - PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS...
Especially for my golfing friends but a lesson to all. . . .
A man was walking down the street when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.
The man took out his wallet, extracted ten dollars and asked, "If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead of dinner?"
"No, I had to stop drinking years ago," the homeless man replied.
"Will you spend this on green fees at a golf course instead of food?" the man asked.
"Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless man. "I haven't played golf in 20 years!"
"Well," said the man, "I'm not going to give you money. Instead, I'm going to take you home for a shower and a terrific dinner cooked by my wife."
The homeless man was astounded. "Won't your wife be furious with you for doing that?
The man replied, "That's okay. It's important for her to see what a man looks like after he has given up drinking and golf."

Quote of the day
"According to a recent survey, men say the first
thing they notice about a woman is their eyes.
And women say the first thing they notice about
men is they're a bunch of liars."

Outrage
Yep... that's about what I feel about this
It's about the dumbest thing a so-called intelligent adult can do to a child!
Read this...
then this, maybe even watch the video...
finally this.
The truth of the matter is...
The only real solution is to ban breakfasts at schools because it is the only way to truly keep kids from playing with their food.
then there's this
are you outraged yet?

THIS SHOULD WORK.....
After checking out the cost of installing a security system, we decided we needed to find something a little less expensive
We did a lot of research and checked out all the options....
This is what we chose:
THE SOUTHERN HOME SECURITY SYSTEM
1. Go to the Goodwill and buy a pair of size 14-16 mens work boots
2. Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Guns & Ammo Magazine
3. Put four giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazines
4. Leave a note on your door that reads...
