Musings ...

If death is "sleep," does that make ghosts insomniacs?

If Heaven has no pain and no sorrow, what do you feel if you get there and don't see anybody you know?

If scientists are smart enough to prove evolution and the Big Bang, why can't they find a cure for the common cold?

Where do angels come from?

If nobody gets to Heaven before Judgement Day, what's that "better place" people go to while they're waiting?

Was Adam a caveman?

It's a good thing last weekend's moon wasn't on this Friday the 13th. The jail's just about full!

My goodness Rose, common sence dictates you probably can't grow a fig tree in a cave. Word is thats what Adam wore for britches.A fig leaf.

Hey the only one around that could report that was Eve and she ain't talkin.

if you lay[lie,lye] on the bed each evening and put your feet behind your head for five minutes your legs won't hurt but your [unacceptable [a**] word] will.

ROSE said...

If Adam wore a fig leaf, how'd he get it to stay on?

I wonder how Bill Clinton would define "cure"?? He's the King of Definition, isn't he?

Shouldn't "cure" be synonomous with "eradicate"? Has anything really been eradicated? Nope. It's all still lurking out there somewhere.

If you've got it, there's a syndrome for it & drug to treat it.

If you can do that thing Crazy Cat mentioned, maybe you can find other yoga-type stuff to just keep moving the pain up your body until it spews out the top of your head.

I think Adam got his fig leaf to stay on by using tree sap.

I hear there was frost up there. Ain't that a shame? We turned off the air and opened up to let the lovely ocean breeze in. The pool was also lovely, although the breeze was a bit cool after we got out. Dinner on the ocean was gorgeous. The margaritas weren't bad, either. Sorry, no umbrellas. How can a crab hang upside down and not fall off the ceiling? How long can they do that?

Maybe they didn't really "sew" at all. Maybe they discovered the beauty of Stitch Witchery.

Everything You'll Ever Want To Know About Yourself

Anonymous said...

One thing for sure,neither one of us will ever compare to MOTHER GOOSE.

Anonymous said...

I'm doing the little "Everything I wanted to know about myself". So far it's oversharing with me. I see that the date of my conception falls on my parents anniversary (and consequently your BD Miss Rose!!! BAHAHAH!)
Back to the test

CB

ROSE said...

I'm not sure I'd want to compare with Mother Goose. LOL

Were you conceived on my BD or was I born on your date of conception, CB? teeheehee

The Life Path was pretty interesting. Yikes! Not surprisingly, I was born under a full moon! Imagine that!

Anonymous said...

I'd say either way it's several years difference, so we wouldn't really be able to pass as twins. Except for the fact that we look exactly alike! {: D

Nope LBS, Rose got all the looks and the brains too. I just have all the money. (Pffffft!)

If you're gonna call me names Anon 3:19 don't be a such a chickenp*ssy, leave your name.

ROSE said...

Can I borrow the money so I can buy myself some REAL looks & brains?? teeheehee

DUMPY?? LOL That word is so yesterday. Though I guess it's better than being doughy. Or lumpy. Or fudgscicle shaped ...

Anonymous said...

Frumpys a good word. Is that so yestrday to?
I only seent one person that look like a fudgesicle.

ROSE said...

Frumpy, unfortunately, is very much today. Won't somebody please nominate me for "What Not To Wear"? I could sure use the new wardrobe! (Not to mention a few days in NYC spending somebody else's $$ !!)

ROSE said...

According to U.S. Census estimates, the population of the U.S. just reached 300,000,000. According to their data, the 300,000,000th American is probably Hispanic.

I'm just glad the kid's not mine. BAHAHAHAHAHA LOL

Anonymous said...

Of course it would be hispanic with every 13 seconds a new alien comes across the border. As the rest of the taxpayers are to busy trying to get by who has time other then the Mex's to do the nasty. The rest is to worried about making enuff to get that next drink of gas to be worried about having another kid to feed.I say its time to depopulate them back to Mexico and issue word to shoot on site if they attempt to cross the border again.

Anonymous said...

Why not just go straight to the shooting part.

If nobody gets to heaven before judgement day' what's that better place people go to while they're waiting? They say Aruba is nice this time of the year.

Anonymous said...

I thought it would be West Virginia since it's "almost" heaven.

ROSE said...

But it isn't "Almost Heaven" anymore - it's "Open For Business."

Aruba ... Jamaica ...

Petition to change WV State motto BACK




Hello -


Please help do West Virginia a favor and sign this petition - Joe Manchin is a complete idiot. I first noticed the revision - the new "motto" displayed in a huge typeface having taken the place of "Wild and Wonderful" - on the welcome signs upon reentering WV via Interstate 77. How could he change something like this without the consensus of the surrounding population? How embarrassing for the residents of WV and anyone holding a piece of this place dear to their heart. Let's make them change it back...

ROSE said...

That's a lovely sentiment, but ... what "forward"? What petition??

Here's one that's currently open for signatures:

Any home remadies to get rid of the swarms of ladybugs? Its so bad you cant even open a window or step outside without getting bombarded.

Anonymous said...

Well look at the good side of it, Friday night it's gona get down to 30. Maybe that will freeze a few of the little SOB's

SmileyTD said...

Well, it's not necessarily a homemade remedy, but I did discover a way to run the ladybugs out of your house. I was making a big batch of my famous cinnamon hard candy last year and noticed that as soon as I dumped the cinnamon oil into the mixture, the ladybugs went CRAZY trying to get outside. Of course, the house smelled like cinnamon for days and the ladybugs didn't come back as long as the scent was in the air. :) Haven't tried it yet this year, but I will soon.

Anonymous said...

You might be on to something TD. I burn a candle in here that is kind of cinnamony and we don't have the LB's this year like we have had before. However, I have to say, I know they are attracted to brightness and the place I live is kind of like a catacomb, since we don't get any direct sunlight; that might be why too.
The candy sounds delish!

CB

SmileyTD said...

Thank ya', CB. The candy is pretty good if you like hot cinnamon. :) I always make it for friends during the holidays.

I have also noticed that the ladybugs tend to like places where the sun directly hits and anything white. Right now, I can't walk from my porch to my car without having to literally swat my way through the daggone things...and my house is stained...natural wood color. :S At work, they are just as thick...can't walk in and out without getting covered in them.

Maybe I'll just start taking a little cinnamon oil and dottin' it on in the place of perfume. Who knows...it might actually work?! LOL

ROSE said...

My mom used to make that cinnamon candy & she had hyper-sensitive skin - her face would look like a chemical peel gone horribly wrong for days! LOL

I don't know if my cinnamon candles are too vanilla'ish or if the ladybugs just really like us, but they've very much over stayed their welcome. We've sucked millions up in the vacuum (P U !!) & they're still coming. It's especially fun to suck them out of the hair while they're flying around. BAHAHAHAHA Just good ol' clean country fun. LOL

I doubt the 100 watt lightbulbs are helping anything ...

Anonymous said...

I think I would hate for you to suck them out of my hair with a vacuum. Your poor children! I bet they have little circle hickys all over their faces and neck from you chasing them around with the vacuum hose trying to suck ladybugs out of their hair.

ROSE said...

Yeah? So? I had little circle hickeys all over my ... neck ... when I was ... a certain age ... & I survived just fine. >;) BAHAHAHAHA

Sometimes, I plant those typos just to keep my reputation as a grammar/spelling geekwad to a minimum. I'm trying to make people believe I'm only human, ya know. teeheehee

KABOOM!

High power leaf blower/vac and a gas mask for in side use, sucks em up and a whole lot faster.

SmileyTD said...

I have that same problem with the cinnamon oil as your Mom did, Rose. My skin turns bright red (any skin exposed when I mix in the cinnamon oil) and even swells up somewhat. It's perty. ;) LOL

Anonymous said...

Me, myself and I think the 205 mph yard vac is the best idea, sucks em up like a tornado.
