GOTCHA, SUCKA!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,

DONNY McNEILAND

FEBRUARY 28!

The Countdown's On!

Only 30 more days 'til Spring! Thirty loooooong, cold days ....

Yeah, I know it's just a word & it's been known to snow in May, but in 30 days, I can start the countdown to Summer!!

& then I can complain about how stinkin' hot it is! WOOOO HOOOOOO!!

LITTLE BLURBS

Did you hear about Christi Layne, a 51 year old 5th grade teacher in Portsmouth, OH, who was shot and stabbed inside her classroom yesterday by her estranged husband? He then went home and shot himself dead ...

Do you know that Happy Days comes on at 5:00 am? Scott Baio was such a hottie in 1984 ...

Valentine's Day is only 6 days away!

OPEN FORUM

We gripe about politics, we gripe about the weather, we gripe about the cost of gas, we gripe about our failing education system ... Doesn't anybody care about the things that really matter anymore?

This morning, I woke up alive and able to crawl out of a nice, warm bed. Every day, I come home to a house that's still standing, food in the fridge, lights that still come on and a lot of people I love just a phone call away.

My children know what it's like to sit down at a real table and eat a real meal as a real family because they do it on a regular basis. Someday, they'll appreciate that. For now, I just hope they're always able to take it for granted

Say what you will, vote for whoever you hate least, but don't ever lose sight of the things that really matter.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

If you're counting on those tax write-offs, you better hurry

& get those babies squeezed out,

those marriage certificates signed

& those million$ given away!

Time's a-runnin' out!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, ONE & ALL!

This Christmas, let's all strive for peace on Earth

& let it begin right here at home.

Let's set aside our petty differences, let's zip our lips against gossip & let us all be thankful for the blessings life has tossed our way.

Or, if we can't do all that, let's at least wish one another

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

yes, I said merry CHRISTMAS because really, isn't "holiday" just HOLY DAY with a typo??

Christmas In Clay County ...

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me ...

An illegal bonus, a ride around town in the company truck & an alibi ...

THANK A VET

If you are one, THANK YOU. If you're going to be one someday, THANK YOU. If you sacrificed a loved one to war before s/he had a chance to become one, THANK YOU.

I hopped up on my soapbox here & after some thought, deleted it all. Let me just say, Veterans Day is in honor of ALL veterans. We had veterans long before we had this war in Iraq.

Thank you. Thank you ALL.

The Court of Public Opinion ...

Whaddaya think?

Happy October!

Ah, life is good ...

That's the beautiful & talented
