WHADDAYA THINK? Are you a believer?

Not too long ago, I watched some show that had a psychic guest who claimed he could contact "those who have crossed over" - dead people. He went on to say that anybody could contact their loved ones who have "crossed over" simply by asking for a sign - a certain scent or a song or ... whatever.

May 28th was my mom's birthday. She'd have been 70. Naturally, she was heavily on my mind that day. Heavily on my mind. On my way to work that Wednesday, I tuned in to 92.9 (that station that insists on playing, no matter where I've got the tuner!) & don'cha know "I'll Fly Away" came on. That was one of my mom's favorite songs ... the one I always whistled around the house ... the one she told me was also my granny's favorite ... the last song played at her funeral.

Ya think??

We wanna believe so bad that this is possible that we take anything and make it work for us. If it were so why hasn't my passed loved ones seen to it that I win the lottery?

ROSE said...

Maybe that's your loved one's way of telling you there are better ways to waste your money.

Anonymous said...

Any ideas?

ROSE said...

Give it to me. I'll *invest* it for you.

I'll invest it in chocolate, pork up quite nicely, then when I die, you can have my fat, dead body stuffed & sell tickets to people who always wanted to smack me, but never got to when I was alive.

You'll be rich in no time!

I would pay $20.00 just to spank Rosey's butt right now,cause it wouldn't be no fun if'n she was dead!

ROSE said...

Please don't! I'd smack back & honestly, I don't have time for the fallout. LOL

I was going to be silent I heard I,ll fly away on moms birthday on a hard rock station freaky moms talking to us

ROSE said...

LOL With a mom like ours, I wouldn't expect anything less!

Seems there are a lot of people who have similiar stories. Coincidence? Maybe to the narrow-minded ...

A few years back we were traveling in New Mexico (where Mom was born) and had been there about a week and no one had ever turned on the car radio. So -- on this particular day, someone turned it on and we heard NatKingCole singing "Ramblin' Rose" -- which was one of Mom's favorites. And I didn't say anything but -- Mom's name was Rose. And that happened to be July 27 -- her birthday....

ROSE said...

Coincidence??

I don't think so!!

If I did have any prongs, I really don't think I would put their color or description online.

Hey, Rose. I don't know about you, but, after last night's game, I'm left with one question- what kind of laundry detergent do those Power guys use to get the dirt out of their white pants? (Not that I was looking at their pants or anything...lol)

ROSE said...

Pants? Did you see the pants *off* the field?? LOL

Wait ... did you see the chick in the red stilettos & white shorts? OMG, I'm obviously far too old to understand baseball dress codes. LOL

16,500 condoms for 125 people. divide by 2 equal 62 1/2 divided into 16,500. wonder if anyone abstains.

Anonymous said...

Thats 264/person.
That much sex only means people who arent supposed to be having it, are.

SmileyTD said...

Hahaha- as a matter of fact, Rose, my sister and I had an in-depth conversation about that very "red stilettos and the white shorts" part of the dress code. We didn't get it, either. :P

ROSE said...

If that's "baseball casual," I wonder what they wear when they really want to attract attention? LOL

Whaddaya reckon the ratio of men to women is in Antartica? Does the 1/2 person switch sides to keep things even?

Anonymous said...

Hey out there in putter land, hold your hand up if your straight!

ROSE said...

There are probably a lot of hands down that you'd never expect. & a lot that are up that nobody's believing. Y'all ain't foolin' nobody.

OK, you can put your hands down now!

Hope everybody had a great Father's Day!

We got nada in the way of storms over this way. Well, at least up here on the mountain. Little bit of rain, some distant thunder. But I haven't been past my front yard in days, so I have no idea what it's like out there in the Real World.

Mother Nature's been pretty harsh lately.
