Howdy peeps! I’m up bright and early today, much to do, much to do LOL

I’m back on the wacky writing wagon. No more BS about what a (insert serious expletive) WordPress is, or how…oh wait, that was so horrible I didn’t even talk about it, so I can’t talk about apologizing for it - LOL

Let’s just throw a big wet blanket apology over all of the last few weeks.

SORRY LOL

This is a long one; can I get ya a sodee?

Hometown Morons Update:A couple who crafted a hoax about having sextuplets, allegedly to collect thousands of dollars in generous gifts from neighbors and co-workers, are facing up to seven years in prison.Kris and Sarah Everson were charged Friday, April 14, with stealing by deceit, and a judge entered not guilty pleas. Both were released on bond. The Grain Valley couple admitted to police and reporters earlier this week that their story was untrue. They had been telling people that Sarah Everson gave birth in March to six critically ill babies.

They epitomize everything people think of, when the term “ignorant redneck hillbilly” comes to mind. Makes all the rest of us hillbillies feel better about ourselves - LOL!

TV:On American Idol they have aging musical stars come on and listen to the contestants mangle their music.
Stevie Wonder - behind the scenes everyone whispers, “Don’t tell him he’s fat”.
Kenny Rodgers, who confirms my suspicions of pod people roaming the earth. Psst…hey aliens, you did a Very Bad Replica. Pour him back in the mold and try again.

Saw the commercials for ABC TV remake of The Ten Commandments. Didn’t watch the show…read the book - snicker

Couldn’t stop laughing every time I saw the trailers though. Kept waiting to hear, “Got a condo made of stone-a”.

(Tell me you don’t see a resemblance LOL)

Naveen Andrews (who plays Sayid on “Lost”) as Biblical Menerith

Steve Martin as King Tut

Family:Middle Son has gotten his ears pierced. Both of them, lest there be any confusion regarding his sexual orientation. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Snicker
Yes, I know in olden days, any man who had pierced ears was thought to be gay. Then the right-ear-pierce was a “signal” you were gay. Then the gay men decided it’d be fun to screw with the rest of the world and started piercing everything LOL We won’t even talk about the black eyeliner “look” Son has adopted. Or the blue hair LOL

Daughter says her I-Pod scares her - LOL She was listening to a song and the I-Pod added a picture from the album cover WITHOUT HER DOING ANYTHING (hysterical emphasis is hers LOL)

Music:This week’s fave new music is:
All American Rejects “Move Along”
Nickelback “Saving Me”

I can’t link to my illegal downloa …errr, “shared music”…yeah, that’s the ticket. snicker I can’t “share” my music with you, as I did at the old blog, because I am sure that if I tried something that complicated, the WordPress program would climb right out the old floppy disk drive slot and eat me alive, so you’ll have to go find a way to listen to them yourself. Sorry (again LOL).

This Week’s Peeves:People who are retail establishment driveway impaired. I should write a, “Driveways for Dummies” book. LOL
PEEVE #1 - Center Lane Stupid - Many roadways have a single center lane to turn left into a retail establishment driveway on either side of the road. Some folks enter that lane several blocks before they intend to turn, blocking the path and/or nearly running into (and subsequently scaring the bejesus out of) those of us who are planning on turning left onto the other side of the road, and are properly entering the turn lane just prior to approaching our turn-in. May a pestilence as fierce as chiggers strike them the next time they do it LOL
Then there are places where there are several retail establishments next to one another, each having their own entryway. Stupid Driver pulls into center lane to turn in, realizes it does not lead to the place they wanted to go, so they dart back into the right-hand, main traffic lane, WITHOUT LOOKING TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE IS THERE. (Hysterical emphasis is mine LOL)

PEEVE #2 - Cell Phone Stupid - People who use their phone while behind the wheel and become so engrossed in conversation they forget where they are and what they are doing. I’d rented a handful of movies, then had to return them to Blockbuster. (Imagine Marti doing the “neener, neener, neener - you can’t charge me late fees” dance) LOL
Tried to turn in, but someone was taking his half of the roadway out of the middle. There was no room to get by, and I chose not to drive up onto the concrete median, just to get into the Blockbuster parking lot. (If it was the Russell Stover outlet store I might have considered it, ‘cause those after-holiday shoppers are brutal and would kill you to get in there for half-price chocolate bunnies LOL).The impaired driver sat there blocking the entrance and gave ME a dirty look as I hovered, awaiting his departure. I hovered longer, then tapped the horn lightly. He glanced over. I waved him out. He shook his head and waved for me to enter. I held my hands up in the air and brought the palms closer together, indicating the squeezing that would be required, then shook my head negatively, indicating that my automobile is not equipped with the ability to become 18 inches wide. He didn’t see all of my motioning response though, as he turned his head away and continued to sit there, waiting for gawd knows what. Middle Son was in the car with me, and getting edgy. He knew what kind of mood I was in after last week, and we were on our way to drop him off at McDonald’s. He said, “I’ll just hop out and run the movies up to the drop-off up there.” I said no and he knew there was gonna be trouble.
I threw the gearshift into park and flung my door open. Serious Expletive Driver was still sitting in his car. His lips were moving. I realized he was talking on a hands-free cell phone device.
(Side note: I really dislike those hands-free models…people walk around in the grocery store and I think they are talking to themselves, which frightens me (LOL) or are talking to me and I look like a jackass when I respond to something they say.)
I slapped his window with my hand, startling him. I genuinely hoped it caused some involuntary body function that would require a change of underwear. He turned his attention to me and I said, “Please stop blocking the entrance,” which I thought was quite polite under the circumstances (since I was actually wishing he was on fire LOL)
He pulled out of the way and I walked back to my car. Son looked relieved that he would not have to bail me out of jail. Again. (Just kidding LOL)
