Thank You ;-)

"Tears water the soul."

Words can never express the heartfelt comfort that all of you have given me. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. I just cannot believe the "cyber love" in here! It is truly amazing. Your friendship, kind wishes and hugs is a gift to cherish and I thank you for that.

"God gives us comfort in the form of friends...."

GREAT BIG (((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))TO ALL!

Hi everyone.

This is Deb (from Boondoggled). Odat asked me to log in and let everyone know what is going on. Her husband passed away last night. She is okay, dealing with everything as best she can, and will be back when things settle down a little.

She is reading all the comments everyone leaves for her. Your well wishes do her good.

Thanks,
Deb

Winter Blues

The winter blues are sweeping over me,

An invisible web of incarceration

Waiting to break free into the sunlight.

I get this way every year, I believe I suffer from S.A.D. , seasonal affective disorder, the lack of sunlight in the days. I know it's getting lighter each day now and I have hope!!! Yes, I'll wake up and the sun will soon be out when I walk my lil snot dog! Smiles will return to my face upon waking up! I will sing again in the shower! I'll dance my way to work! Oh, I just can't wait. You do believe me, don't you?

HAPPY MONKEY MONDAY ALL!

Your Mind is PG-13 Rated

Your mind is definitely a little dirty. You're naughty, but not trashy.
You don't shy away from a dirty joke, and you're clearly not a prude.

Do You Have a Dirty Mind?

You Were an Eagle

You are able to rise above the details of life and see the big picture. A spiritual being, you tend to go beyond material concerns.

THE BEST COMEBACK LINE for 2007...

For those that don't know him, Major General Peter Cosgrove is an "Australian treasure!"
General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently. You'll love his reply to the lady who
interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws
you gotta love this! This is one of the best comeback l ines of all time. It is a portion of an ABC interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a
Boy Scout Troop visiting his military headquarters.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
So, General Cosgrove, what things are you go ing to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rif le range.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
But you're equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL COSGROVE:
Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended.

The Curly Haired Smiling Hugging Jokester.

I remember his smile, his tight curly hair.

He taught me to swim before I could walk.

Rides on trains, sunlit windows.

Beer with spaghetti. Sing alongs.

Buying puppies, even horned toads.

Scaring Mom, playfully.

All wrapped up with tight hugs and kisses.

My fond memories of Dad, who was taken away so, so young.

(December 29th was the anniversary of my Dad's death, who died when I was eight years old).

A NEW YEAR, A NEW BEGINNING

I dicided to forego my dip into the Hudson River with the Polar Bear Club (haha) and spend my day inside relaxing.

Here's a fun meme for the new year. Got this from Reflecting Pool who got it from Rachel of Lessons Learned. The idea is to post the first sentence from the first post of each month. Enjoy, and please do feel free to use it too.

Here's my first sentences from the 12 months of 2007:

A new year, a new beginning. Thank you Pickled Olives for passing along this meme. So far, so good, another green light day. Tahiti, na huh, it was only foolery in my mind. "Start every day with a smile and get it over with" (w.c. fields). Have a great weekend all and don't forget to move it, move it, because I sure won't. Hey all, guess what? Who's on first? Two cannibals are eating a clown. I'm still waiting for Mondays to be fundays. I've got to go to an all day seminar today. Last night, my friend and I were sitting in the living room.

Not to be outdone by Snot Dog's Resolutions:

1. Have a torrid one-night stand with a street mutt.
2. I will no longer be beholden to the sound of the can opener.
3. Circulate petition that Leg Humping be a juried competition in major dog shows.
4. Call PETA and tell them what that surgical mask-wearing freak does to us when no one is around.
5. Take time from busy schedule to stop and smell the behinds.
6. Hamster: Don't let them figure out I'm just a rat on 'roids, or they'll flush my ass.
7. Grow opposable thumb; break into pantry; decide for MYSELF how much food is *too* much.
8. Get out of the castle more, maybe swim counter-clockwise this year.
9. January 1st: Kill the sock! Must kill the sock! January 2nd - December 31: Re-live victory over the sock.
10. I will NOT chase the damned stick unless I see it LEAVE her HAND.
11. I will NOT wear a red hoody under any circumstance!


A happy and peaceful New Year to All.

A Look Back On Happy Monkey Monday

Happy Monkey New Year's Eve Monday!

Here's to you, my fellow blogging buddies. Wishing you your best year yet! I'm not one for making resolutions but there are some big things on the horizon for me this year and are bound to make life a little better. A Happy, Peaceful and Loving New Year to All!

Summary of my year on the computer:

I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the email about rat poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing. Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time.

I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000.00 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special email program.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.

I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a waterbuffalo on a hot day.

Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer can buy gasoline without taking a man along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm pumping gas.

I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put, "Under God" on their cans.

I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.

And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face... Disfiguring me for life.

I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer receive packages from UPS or Fed Ex since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.

I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops or the Salvation Army.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial anumber for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica , Uganda , Singapore and Uzbekistan.

I no longer have any sneakers - but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike.

I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.

Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my butt.

Thank you too for all the endless advice Andy Rooney has given us. I can live a better life now because he's told us how to fix everything.

And thanks to your great advice, I can't ever pick up $5.00 in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.

Oh, and don't forget this one either! I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas from certain gas companies!

If you don't send this email to at least 47,000 people in the next 47 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:47 p.m. this afternoon and the fleas from 47 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next doorneighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's Cousin's beautician.

Have a wonderful day...

AND a scientist from Argentina , after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain and sexual activity read their email with their hand on the mouse. Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late. ;-)

Studly Spud

Here's "studly" Spud in his new duds.......

Santa left under the tree.

Now this is a coat that a man should wear

Not that red hoody, said he.

Thank you Santa, you're real sweet,

For leaving me this great treat.

I can now walk with my head up high

And not look like I want to die!

All the girl dogs will look my way

As they pass me by they'll yell Hey Hey!

Look at that Spud, he's such a stud

Let's take him for a roll in the mud!

(In case you can't see the detail of the jacket....it's an army jacket with Sgt's stripes and three stars! Very, very cute. Given to the Snot dog by a really sweet friend of mine, but don't let Snot dog know there is no Santa!!!)

55 Flash Fiction Friday on Thursday

On Thursday

I was asleep when it happened......
I awoke suddenly...sitting straight up in my bed!
The noise came from the living room.

My heart pounding,
grabbed the baseball bat kept by the bed.
Looked down the hall.
The noise getting louder!

Lifting the bat, getting ready........
Slowly peaking around the doorway

Santa was eating cookies!!!!


Peace

The Day After.

Aarrgghh!

One thing I got for Christmas is a damn old cold. I think it was because I forgot to hang the stockings by the chimney "with care"...I kinda just threw them up there and hoped they'd stay.

Oh wait, I don't even have a chimney! Hmmm...I wonder where those stockings are???

Anyhoo...I did have a nice holiday in spite of it. Hope yours was wonderful too. My best present was a GPS system!!! (I did get jewelry and "other girlie stuff" too, which I loved equally as well but I can't wait to play with the GPS) What was your best present?

Peace

Desiderata

My all time favorite poem, and my wish to all. Hope everyone's holidays are filled with nice memories and happiness...I'm not sure if I'll be posting until after Christmas....I'm going to be at a dial up location so I may not even be able to read you guys...So have a wonderful weekend....Hope Santa makes your wildest dreams come true! ;-)

Desiderata by Max Ehrmann c.1920
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself to others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann c.1920

55 Flash Friday

(I know it's Thursday, but I'm posting this today so as not to interfere with Happy Dance Fridays)
Springtime in the park.
Eyes opened wide in alarm
as they rushed at him!
They pushed him down into the wet grass.
He screamed,
in delight.
And even though it was rough, it actually tickled.
They kept pushing.

He was rolling now, but giggling.
What could he do?

"Mom, can we keep all the puppies"?

I'm a Flake!

Lois of Lowdown from Lois, has a big heart and was kind enough to "flake" the blogosphere, for our uniqueness.

I quote from her generous offering:

"Each of us are like those snowflakes. We bring to the blogosphere different gifts, viewpoints, and experiences. Sooo......I'm dedicating this award to YOU, my fellow bloggers. Take this badge and wear it well. All I ask is that you pass it on and refer to this entry as a short award description. When you award this badge to someone, please take a moment to mention what makes him/her unique. Spread the love...There is no one more precious or unique as you!"

It would be unfair to single out certain readers that are deserving of this, when you all are. Each and every one of you that I've gotten to know over the years and very recently are precious and each one of you have touched my heart or my funny bone in so many ways....so I offer it to all of you....take it and as Lois says, pass it on. Tis the season...............

What I Need to Carry With Me Everyday Meme

I mentioned the other day that my doctor advised me to stop carrying so much to help alliviate the pressure on my spine.

Ok, I'm starting a meme called "What I Need To Carry With Me Every Day" Meme and I'm tagging everyone on my blog roll. The rules are this: Just list the items you carry with you everyday be it in a hand bag (man or woman bag), a brief case, a plastic bag...etc.

I weighed my hand bag yesterday......5 lbs (I thought it would be more).

Here's what's in it:

1)Two wallets....one long with my money, credit cards, business cards, (actually it more like a little filing cabinet). The other is small and just carries my license and registration.

2) Makeup: lipstick and blush

3) Two sets of keys

4) Comb

5) Gum

6) My blackberry

7) ID's for work...(different ones for different places I go).

8) Check books 2 (mine and Mom's)

9) Calander

10)Hand sanitizer (a must when I get off the subway)

11) Pens

12) Cough drops

13) Lose coins at the bottom.

14) Tissues

Everything one needs, every day and cannot do without. I don't know how I'll lessen the load!

:-)

I also usually carry a light leather briefcase, which I carry on my shoulder. If I don't have work files in it, I stuff it with more "essentials". My vitamins are in there. Some mail and bills, umbrella, recharging wires for phone, my book that I read on the train, the newspaper.

And I wonder why I have back problems. I'm going to try real hard to eliminate some "stuff".

So tell me, what do you carry?

Peace

It's Monkey Monday

HAPPY MONKEY MONDAY!

Where the heck did the weekend go? Did I even participate in it? Didn't want to get out of bed today. It flew by and I don't know what the heck I did. Oh I did make the beef stew yesterday and it was great!!! Afterwards, I had rice pudding. Took a nap.

I lead such an exciting life.

This may be why the Snot Dog doesn't like the snow. Ya think?

Peace

A Little Ice

The nor'easter didn't hit that badly here. We had some snow, some ice, winds. The only damage I had was the garbage can lids were across the street. The streets are slushy and it's supposed to rain all day. It's really biting cold tho, with the wind. I had to carry the wuss, Snot Dog, out to the trees because he refused to move off the porch!

I'm planning on making some beef stew later. It seems like that kind of day!

Have a relaxing Sunday!

Peace

Tiny Needles Yin Yang

Yin and Yang back together again......"....reunited and I'm feeling good......"

Needles. Tiny needles. Not pine needles, but tiny, shiney needles. Stuck in me from the bottom of my spine trailing down my leg to the top of my foot. With heat and electric stimulation! Sounds kinky, doesn't it. No, that's a story for another day. ;-) My sciatica is acting up again and acupunture is my salvation. I get immediate relief. Had a session on Wednesday and am going now for another one. My yin and yang are getting their groove on!

I've also been advised not to carry so much "stuff". I have a briefcase and a handbag that I usually "lug" back and forth to work. I'm sure if I weighed it would be close to 40 lbs. of crap.

Well, the handbag can't go. It carries all the essentials that a woman needs! Ok...so I don't carry my briefcase...therefore, I can't get work done. That sounds like a good thing!

I think a meme about what a woman carries in her handbag would be an interesting one. Maybe I'll start one next week!

Enjoy your Saturday!

Peace

I Know What I Meant.

I knew what I meant when I said it. I resented being asked again, that confused looked on his face. All I wanted was a glass of ice. Why was he looking at me that way? I told him twice now, the second time a little louder. What was so hard about getting ice?

Turns out that what I really said, was "Get me a cup of glass".......

Yes, it sounds funny and I'm laughing about it...but on the other hand it really scarred me.

You know why. Every time I forget something or say a silly word in place of another, I think ..ok...I'm getting it....It just scares me because of my Mom with her Alzheimers. I can't help it.

Da Night Before Christmas

I've been told by some that I have a New Yawk accent. (Yeah I think I do too....lol...so when I saw (sore) the following I thought it would be appropriate ta share wit all youse.

A BROOKLYN NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

(Read this with a thick Brooklyn Italian accent)

'Twas the night before Christmas,

Da whole house was mella,

Not a creature was stirrin',

Cuz I had a gun unda da pilla.

When up on da roof I heard somethin' pound,

I sprung to da window,

To scream, "

YO! Keep it down!"

When what to my wanderin' eyes should appear,

But da Don of all elfs,

And eight friggin' reindeer!

Wit' slicked back black hair,

And a silk red suit,

Don Christopher wuz here,

And he brought da loot!

Wit' a slap to dare snouts,

And a yank on dare manes,

He cursed and he shouted,

And he called dem by name.

"Yo Tony, Yo Frankie,Yo Vinny, Yo Vito,

Ay Joey, Ay Paulie,Ay Pepe, Ay Guido!"

As I drew out my gun

And hid by da bed,

He flew troo da winda

And slapped me 'side da head.

"What da hell you doin'

Pullin' a gun on da Don?

Now all you're gettin' is coal,

You friggin' moron!"

Den pointin' a fat finga

Right unda my nose,

He twisted his pinky ring,

And up da chimney he rose.

He sprang to his sleigh,

Obscenities screamin',

Away dey all flew,

Before he troo dem a beatin'.

Den I heard him yell out,

What I did least expect,

"Merry Friggin' Christmas to all,

And yous better show some respect!"

I have a tendency to get a little depressed over the holidays. But I'm going to keep smiling and singing, (like Mom ;-) and put one foot in front of the other and keep on trucking!!! I have a few more presents to get.

Have a wonderful week, in spite of it all!

Snot Dog

Here's the Snot Dog (Spud) in his new Christmas hoody. Staring off into the sunset, dreaming of Mini. (sunset picture is compliments from my friend, the "Bad One" who recently moved to Arizona and has this view every evening!).

Spud met Mini on the Cyber Kitty Cruise sponsored Auntie Bee....She was kind enough to let the two pooches come along. Spud gambled and drank and from what I've learned, I think he may have had his way with Miss Mini!!! I'm wondering why Sarge Charlie wasn't a better chaperone. Be that as it may, Spud is pining for Mini all day, every day. I'm hoping she writes soon or maybe a call. I wonder if she has a webcam!!! Hehe.

The Post About Nothing

Oh man, I didn't want to get out of bed this morning.

It's cold out. Want to stay under the warm covers and sleep late. Can't tho.Must take the lil Snot dog out, however embarrassed that he is to wear the new red hoodie I bought him to keep him warm in the snow.

Got to get coffee in me first...ah...yes. While looking in the fridge I think I noticed something moving in there. I just sneezed 7 times in a row. Is that good luck?I have nothing to wear. Should I go to work naked?

Wasn't going to blog today. But as you can see I did. Duh.

My alarm is one of the sound machines that make nature noises...I have mine set to waves hitting the shore line, with birds yapping in the background. I like to wake up slowly. Don't like loud alarms. However, when the alarm goes off and Snot dog hears the birds, he starts barking!

I chew gum in the morning, is that so bad?

The moon is still out when I walk the dog....I hate the darkness of winter, altho I have nothing against the moon, or the man in it.

I'm in a hurry today. That's why I can't blog. Oh wait, I just did didn't I? Duh (again).

Have a nice day.

Bye

Where I'm From

I am from trees growing out of concrete, from bottled milk deliveries, black and white TV and Irish stew. I am from the rail road room three story house, noisy, neighborly, with summer breezes blowing through the screens tossing the curtains over my face, cooling the house.
I am from the tomato plants, rose bushes and swing sets in the back yard, the small patch of grass, cool under my feet.
I am from large Sunday dinners, pranksters and beer drinkers, from the Irish with thier brogues and the Germans with their beer.
I am from those who don't know how to stop talking, laughing, crying and praying.
From the fear of the bogey man in the closet and Daddy's bedtime stories and brothers who made me eat worms.
I am from a variety of religions, yet, calling none of them my own. My spirit is one with nature.
I'm from the northeast, corned beef, sauerbraten and lasagna.
From the the mailman and the waitress who fell in love quickly and loved to dance and laugh, the grandmother who bought me nice clothes, the father with curly hair, the other grandmother who disliked Mom because she was Republican!
I am from the black and white wedding picture that now hangs on the wall of my mom's nursing home room, the urn of ashes on the fire place, the songs that still ring loud in my heart. The memories are what I have, some bad, but mostly good as I see their smiling faces in my mind and still feel their love in my heart. That's what keeps them alive, the memories.

Roger is mad at me. I've rejected his balls. Well some of them. I finally was satisfied with one or two or three. What is Roger doing with five balls you may ask...Well he's got a lot more than that...As a matter of fact I'd say Roger has lot of balls. He's been designing holiday balls for his blogging budiies. He should be proud of them too.

Saturday

Last night, my friend and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, 'I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.'So she got up, unplugged the TV, and threw out my wine.

She's such a bitch.....
