random thoughts......

Or maybe not so random......

Hey Dad, I was going to go on the local rag's forum and make my comments, but after reading yours, I couldn't improve upon them, and the ignoramuses had already taken over. And I just did not feel like dignifying them with a well-deserved smack in the face......

I did, however, check out your buddy's blog and posted a couple of comments there.....Glad to see he remains calm in the face of the storm......

Onward and upward.....

Today is my oldest son's 16th birthday.....How did I spend this day 16 yrs ago---well at this particular point in time---approx 4:30 pm, I think I was sleeping, courtesy of an epidural....I woke up to the doctor saying PUSH, about 3 hrs. later.......Primal scream at 8:19 tonight, if anyone is interested.....We are just doing some cupcakes tonight--the party will be Sunday when assorted friends and relatives can make it.

Reading the local rag today was not good for my digestive processes. On one hand was the local news.....not too bad today, considering......but the opinion page....whoa Nelly........ Apparently the biggest clue that one is a racist is not voting for Obama......yeah right. Also apparently he is the god of health care now.....can anyone say socialism? Can anyone say please pass the Vaseline? I think I should buy stock in that company......everyone will need it if this character (or lack thereof) gets into office.....

Then there is the usual Church/State debate.......supposedly this coming Sunday is being touted as the day that preachers will tell their flocks how to vote......now don't get me wrong, I have no problem with pastors having an opinion on this topic, or in stating it. But from the pulpit doesn't seem right. My pastor and I have had discussions before on our views, and while I am sure that if he feels that strongly about it, he may give his basis on why he would vote for someone or against someone while in the pulpit, never in 10 years of attending that church have I heard him do so. As a matter of fact, when we are in class, or just talking, he is careful to state that such-and-such is his opinion only.......Now I know that just because I have not actually heard him give such a speech from the pulpit may not mean he hasn't....I have never heard him do so when I have been there. And I don't feel it is an appropriate place to expound on your personal political beliefs.......

Sorry I had to go away from the computer and now I have lost my train of thought......I'll be back when it is..........

I hate to break it to you, but we are changing that word--it is now 'ignorbobuses.' I'm sick and tired of people using my name for such tripe! And that is 'bop in the chops' if you will.

Sorry, we have deleted Vaseline from the availability this election season. You have to take it plain. Aye, there's the rub!

The Orange Blossom Special just left on Track # 9. Or was that the Chattahoochee Moochie? Or the L & N? Or the ATSF or the DRGW or the MP or the KATY or the ERIE LACKAWANNA.

Or it could have been that old Hawaiian disease--lackanookie!
