20/20

Yesterday I took my mother-in-law to the eye doctor for a check up. Her eyesight is hideous. We spent the day running errands and enjoyed a Basque lunch. She enjoyed a glass of wine. And another. And another. And another.

At the end of the day we both agreed that even though her eyesight is hideous our hindsight is, in fact, 20/20.

Troll

This image was found online.  Thanks to whomever image I’m borrowing.

Someone called me a troll.  That reminded me of the pink haired troll I had as a child.  (My brother’s troll had orange hair.)  Thinking of my pink haired troll reminded me that October is breast cancer awareness month.  That reminded me that it’s time to go get my boobs squashed.

I suppose I should thank that someone for calling me a troll.  But I won’t.

OUCH

MAYBELLINE: Go. Away. Go back to Bakersfield.com where you can snicker and fret without retribution about the “illegal aliens” and the babies they have out of wedlock (gasp!). Over there, you and the other like-minded trolls can stew together in the toxic cauldron of your smallness.

I was stung. Ouch. And I thought this person represented tolerance to all. Wow, I was so wrong. I may be sparse in the number of words I leave as comments; but they must really be potent. This blogger always goes off on me for leaving only a few words. This blogger sees much more power in my comment than was intended. This blogger is guilty of what I'm being accused of ---as being with my "other like-minded trolls". My opinion is that someone like this is tolerant...tolerant of those that are like-minded.

Sheesh!

Friendship

Strange what some consider friends.  Most would rate a mere acquaintance as a friend so they have a basket load.  Relatives are a whole different beast.

A friend to me is someone that knows me, has common interests, and can be counted on.  With that definition, I believe I have two friends.  How many friends do you truly have?

For even further confirmation regarding friendship, I consulted the I Love Lucy Guide to Life.  Enjoy.

Don’t be a bit of flotsam in the Sea of Life.

Duvall You Are Out!

Another one bites the dust.  California Assemblyman, Mike Duvall [R], from Orange County is out. Family values.  Indeed.  This worm is as low as the economy crawling under the border fence.

Robert Duvall (especially Gus McCrae) will always be “in”.  Justice would be swift.  Justice would be fair. Adios, Assemblyman.  And good riddance.

Van, You Are Out!

Van Jones got the boot.  He’s out.  Amazing.

No big deal.  I prefer Van Johnson. “I like New York in June.  How about you?”

1979

Is it really possible that it’s been thirty years since the Sacketts first graced our TV screens.  Mercy!  Sam and Tom together making a L’Amour movie.  Geez, I sure wish they would make more of those types of movies with clear cut good guys and bad guys (and extremely good looking guys! – MAMA!).

Men were men doing men-type stuff.  There was absolutely no question these guys are 100%, all American male.  Carumba!
