PRAISE THE LORD & PASS THE OATS

The winners have been congratulated; the losers have accepted their fate.
The hecklers carry on because ... really, why not?

IF THERE'S A "VOTE FOR ME!" SIGN ANYWHERE IN THIS COUNTY WITH YOUR NAME ON IT, TAKE IT DOWN. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO PUT IT UP OR WHETHER YOU WON OR LOST. IT'S NOW TRASH ALONG THE ROAD WITH YOUR NAME ON IT.
YOU NEED TO GET IT GONE.

i liked the last one better. it was just getting interesting on the subject of MP.

but haven't we all got used to those signs hanging around as roadside ornaments. some of them are even colorful and add character. guess we just get used to them being beside the road.

lol i guess thats your point. i agree.

GET THEM SIGNS DOWN

ROSE said...

GOOD MORNING!!

Oh, believe me, the subject of MP will come up again (in fact, there it is already!!) & you can jump right back in. LOL

I don't understand the hate for MP if I disiked a person so much I wouldn't even think of her let alone write about her so much. some on has a problem, is she writing this hate stuff so she'll be the topic of all the blogs, I'm sure there is some one else in Clay Co. that we can talk about, they got to be some one in Clay Co that does good thing that should be talked about.

ROSE said...

KUDOS TO THE SIGN REMOVERS!! I must say, it was a beautiful, signless, green drive to Clay this morning!

Bad publicity, good publicity ... it's all in how you react to it.

Make yourself a target & rest assured, you'll be a target. When you fan your own flames, you should expect the target to just get bigger.

Make yourself invisible & you'll be ... a super hero!

If it says stupid sh*t, does stupid sh*t & acts like a stupid sh*t, it aint a target, it's a stupid sh*t.

MP resigned from the Clay Roane board this morning.

SmileyTD said...

Nope, there are no buzzards circling here yet. When I got up this morning, I read the obituaries just to make sure that I wasn't in them. LOL I'm a bit hardheaded, so I'll be around for a good while I'm sure. :P

MP resigned from the Clay Roane board this morning.

Thats cause she promised Link she would if he would pay her fee to run for CCC. Also she was told to go ~~~~~~~~~~~~ing back under her rock.

ROSE said...

Aaaaah .... I see.

Now all Link has to do is bribe Fran, Pete & Jimmy to stall her reappointment until he takes office. Then he can appoint whatever school system employee is next on his list & Fran & Pete will go along with his appointment & vote for him/her because ... would that be worth a $100 bill or just $50? Is that the way it works?

I still don't get it. MP earns $75 per month for attending board meetings. Her term wasn't up for another 3 years. She gave up all that $$ just for the honor of having Link pay her filing fee & get people to vote for him?

Surely I'm missing something.

Duh. Your missing the $100 & $50 bills.

I need the recipe for Grandma Shaffers Tarter Sauce. Somebody is Clay County is bound to have it.

SmileyTD said...

Hey, I had a Grandma Shaffer (but I don't have a recipe for her tartar sauce.) I'm not much help at all, am I? LOL

Anonymous said...

Too late. I had to wing it. It was ugly. Poor husband rolling in the floor. Luckily, I don't eat that stuff.

ROSE said...

Smiley, are you my long lost cousin??!

Somewhere in this house is Grandma Shaffer's recipe ... millions of 'em! I've got Grandma Mac's Crazy Cake recipe, too!! (Yes, CB, that's the one!! LOL)

I'd have more sympathy for the "poor poor husband" if he wasn't WHERE HE IS & the tartar sauce wasn't for something he caught 15 minutes before he needed the d*mn sauce. LOL

Boy, wouldn't a nice Bud have been good with that? BAHAHAHAHAHAHA

SmileyTD said...

I'm sure it wasn't all that bad. LOL If you don't mind me asking, regarding the Grandma Shaffer that you mentioned...what was her first name?

SmileyTD said...

I get sidetracked too often or type too slow...or something. That last message was meant for caywoman. LOL

We may be cousins, Rose. The Shaffers that I'm related to were from Porter. My paternal Grandma was a Shaffer.

Oh, the Bud was quite good. Mrs. Paul's was okay.
Somebody's gotta live here.
When(if) you find it send it on.

Gene Perkins was the guy who got hit. He was hit by Gary Keen (supposedly). Before anyone complains about this comment: the family has been notified. I am family.

Anonymous said...

I just saw a headline on MSN that a pychic bought Elvis' house on e-Bay. Rose, I didn't know you were psychic.

Anonymous said...

I just want to know if the crazy cake recipe is still on the back of the underware package.

Sorry to hear about Gene!!! I hadn't heard about that.

CB

ROSE said...

OMG, Smiley! We ARE cousins!! We're Porter Shaffers, too! WOOOHOOO!!

Ah, Caymomma ... I'm not just psychic, I'm magic, too. You don't really think it was all just *coincidence* or *fate* or something as mundane as all that, do you?? teeheehee I guess if somebody's gotta live there, it just as well be somebody I can feasibly visit someday, huh? LOL

& yeah, CB, it is! That was much funnier when ... the underwear ... of "my friends" didn't look like that & we could make fun of granny panties. LOL

Thoughts & prayers to both the Perkins family and the Keen family.

my granny wears a thong

SmileyTD said...

Wow, Rose. You have no clue how much of a shock the "cousin" discovery thingy is. LOL As far as I had known all of these years, there weren't that many of us "Porter Shaffers" left in Clay County. Guess it IS a small world, huh? LOL :)

My thoughts and prayers go out to Gene's family, particularly his brother Dana, and to Gary and his family as well. Gene was a sweet fella'. I always picked him up when I'd see him walking. We'd talk one another's ears off when my son wasn't entertaining him with some story...or vice versa. He was always really, really good natured and kind. I hate to hear that something like this happened to him. :(

GOOD MORNING!

Wow! The gang was all here, huh? LOL

The National Honor Society rejects you if you get detention, not if you get convicted, ya know.

Grandma & Grandpa have some risque undies, eh? LOL Nobody knows what's under those clothes .... BAHAHAHAHA

LOL We're digressing ... we've already had this conversation.

I think we should all become meteorologists - we can just stand there on TV, waving our arms around, smiling & saying whatever comes to mind. The one currently on my TV is saying "there's a slight possibility of rain today" - I guess that "slight possibility" is hovering over my house at the moment!

GOOD MORNING!

ROSE said...

There can never be anything as mundane as a simple tragic accident in these parts, ya know.

Such a sad, sad thing for all involved.
