See ya, Summer!

Is it just me or has this been the shortest summer of all time?

First day of school ... my heart goes out to all you mommies letting that big yellow monster swallow your babies for the first time.

Since school is started, I need a lesson. A hypothetical case. Take 20 mil. of the taxpayer money. Give it to the BOE, made up mostly of a brotherhood of lodge members, who then give the County supt. a salary of 100K plus a sneaked in 10K bonus, this bonus is then returned to each BOE member in $2000.oo amounts, WHAT IS THAT CALLED?

Here's three things, you can do, to make things better.
One:Register to vote.
Two:Do some research on who you are voting for.
Don't just listen to the propaganda machine(TV).
Remember, it matters who you pick.
Now and for possibly generations to come, in some cases.
Three:Vote, vote, vote, otherwise you have no right to complain.
You will have shirked your duty as an American.
You will be less than a coward.

Unless you act like an idiot an get your right to vote taken away from you.

C'mon, y'all, we're all friends here, right? Let's be nice.

First day of school seems to have been a success ... let's just hope days 2-180 go as well. >;]

morning Rose, another fine day.
went to the bank trying to work up something decent to live in this winter. stimulus money came up for discussion. was told the bank didn't have any stimulus money and didn't know who did or how to get. I said try the governor. I was told they didn't want to loan money at 3% when they could force people [their clients to pay 8%]. but they're such nice people. It doesn't seem to hurt when they give you the shaft. Nothing doing, I don't have enough income to make the minimum payments. But but my outhouse is way out yonder and I don't have a pot to hiss in. but but I gots a gallon jug.

At one time had a little piece of oil and gas property. was informed yesterday I no longer have it. Don't know where it went to. another day in corncob chitty.

I like your new pic rose.

So Ms. Rose, the question remains.
Is it our patriotic duty to vote?
Isn't this one of those freedoms that our brave soldiers fought and died for?
Do we belittle their sacrifices by not voting?

Anonymous said...

Yes Yes and Yes!

ROSE said...

Amen.

Does your vote make a difference? Somebody's does, because people get elected based on the number of votes they get.

If you don't exercise your right to vote, you don't earn the right to gripe.

have heard that there is a woman in the county who likes to spread peanut butter on her anatomy and then let her boxer dog lick it off. sex of dog unknown. has a restraining order against her husband because he apparently objects.

Anonymous said...

was that crunchy or smooth peanut butter?

Anonymous said...

Like Reese's peanut butter cups has chocolate on it too.

Wassamatter? Didn't her husband like peanut butter?

Clay co. continues to expire. hey we gots an egg market. wese different. in other places when a legal paper is written it stays that way, in clay co. it changes depending, on how big the last payoff was and who made it.

ROSE said...

LOL Y'all quit talkin' about me like I'm not even here - I can read, ya know!!

Started work at HE White last week. Lovin' every minute of it!!! Might have to pay somebody else to do all that painting for me ....

Anonymous said...

HE White needed painted, huh?

ls said...

I'd a swore you'd gone off in space sumere's Can' trust no one anymore. how much you hafta pay for sanitary engineers job. I once knew a woman rode a broom handle for 30 years. wouldn'tr have known her that long but I married her before I knew she was a broom handle specialist. my my been a long week

ROSE said...

LOL I haven't painted or rode a broom yet, but if asked, I reckon I'll do it ... with a smile on my face.

It's nice to be back at HEW so long after my kids were there. It's odd, though, seeing the faces of the younger siblings of their friends - just slams home the fact that my kids were once that little & time goes by so very, very quickly.

So you are saying Rose has a big nose, and thats your story an your stickin to it, no weaselin an backin out.

ls said...

well now, to get a job with the BOE it seems a person must have a special attribute, in the past it has appeared that the nose has something to do with it. either the size or the color.

A fact of life, Even the calendar says after Monday and Tuesday W T F.....

ROSE said...

LOL I have no idea what y'all are talking about, but I don't work for the BOE, I work for AmeriCorps ... & I'm not an "employee," I'm a "member" ... I don't get paid a salary, I get a "living expense."

Y'all ready for the Apple Festival?

Nope. Don't know her. Which one is she & why does she make you so nauseous? None of those pictures had that effect on me - maybe you have gastrointestinal issues??

Fall is in the air!! The trees in front of my house are starting to turn already & the road was covered with fallen leaves on the way home today. I sincerely hope Fall lasts as long as this summer did.

Now, children ... >;-)

My grandpa used to say, "There are no ugly people in the world - just other people who think they're better looking." ... or something like that.

So what's going on out there in the real world? This past month has been so crazy - I feel like I fell into the Twilight Zone again & I'm just now clawing my way back out.

Me said...

Well, Mrs. Rose, did you teach the little darlings anything new today?

ROSE said...

LOL I hope so. I did teach one little guy that sneezes are easy to catch if you have a tissue in your hand. :)

Me said...

Well done, good looks and smart to!!

Anonymous said...

that's where I lost it. tissues hadn't yet been invented when I was in grade school, nor toilet paper. leaves me puzzled as to which end to wipe when I sneeze.

Anonymous said...

That's a no brainer, just think up.

You know they can fix that.

ROSE said...

Me, you left out the part about how I can cook, too!! >;)

Ya know, these days, they teach kids to sneeze into their elbows, which is just ridiculous, because they spend the entire winter with snot-encrusted sleeves. I mean, I understand the reasoning, but ... isn't it just as simple to teach them to carry a tissue?

Just to be on the safe side, wipe both ends when you sneeze - I'd go nose first, though, if I were you. teeheehee

sherlock said...

wonder what's on the BDAs mind that they have offered to purchase the old state garage? what would happen to the auction? what has happened to the downtown restaurant? who owns the old chevrolet garage now? The hotel is for sale again!!!!!!!! an unexplained fire in the seneca grill bldg. the sheriff is on the griddle for unexplained disposal or the unexplained retention of confiscated property, especially firearms? What next?

I think the group who is making the new signs for clay are great!But they need to have a different name besides CHIT they need to show a little bit of class, that doesn't have any humor at all,it just makes us look more backwoodsy and uneducated,and the but of a joke.
AW used the term CHIT head to describe a new sign...very very poor use of language when trying to promote this county.

Gues what folks:::: AW praising Amanda Moore for her accomplishments as if it were new to Clay County. We have had administrators for century's now that have figured out how to waste MONEY. In case your wondering what her accomplishment is. Its wasting money and falls right into the same category as all the rest of the crooks who have been appointed to a job in Clayberry.

Anonymous said...

wonder how this money was wasted. I musta missed that. maybe big mouth willl explain.
