Wow, 131 days have gone by since my last post.  Crazy how much I DON'T use this site anymore.

In fact, this is my first post here in 2008.

Enjoy it---it may be my last, too, LOL.

It's just my cat, for anyone who still ever looks here that might be interested.   Do you hear that?  Do you hear it papa?  It's the sound of........................................................

That's how long it's been since I've written a blog here.  Wow, that's nearly 4 months.  Where does the time go?  What have we all been doing?  Why do we so avoid the place that we used to call home and have such good times with?  I kinda miss it---but I know that things will never be the same here.  This blog has become obsolete.  I wonder what would happen if one of us, just one time, decided to say "come on over and have a party for old time's sake"?  Would anyone even know about it and show up?

I'm sure that anyone who knows me knows where I blog at now.  You should stop by there, anytime.  Say hi.  Send me a message.  Comment.  I love to read everyones opinions to what I have to say, because sometimes, what I have to say doesn't correspond with what a lot of OTHERS have to say.  Conversations would be pretty boring if they were all one sided, don't you agree?

Anyway, feel free to say something here, you know, if anyone even reads these here anymore.  Otherwise, I mostly blog HERE now.  Hope to see some of you there, and now I am leaving with a note of wondering.  Will it be ANOTHER 111 days before I blog here again?  Only time will tell.  :~)

What's the best and worst thing about being a man or a woman?

Wow, has it really been over a MONTH since I've blogged here?  Guess so!  I never even received the auto-sent letter from Lex telling me it's been a while.  I guess they've given up n me, LOL.

So, without further delay, I present the time honored answer to this old BID that I scrounged up out of the list.  Man, but there were quite a few to choose from!  I guess I should get back into the swing of updating this blog more frequently.....

Frankly, this one is pretty easy.  Being a man, the best thing?  Well, for starters, we don't have to worry about all the extra dainty underthings to buy when we go shopping, I.E. bras, feminine products for "that time of the month", and so on and so forth.  Also, never having to be with child?  A BIG plus, LOL.

I know this next thing is something petty to complain about, but I will say that MOST of you females are very lucky that you don't have to shave your face and neck daily----I throw out the word MOST with caution, as I know that SOME women out there do have problems with a little scruff, LOL.  That being said, you don't have to do it to your FACE every single day, which I believe to be the most sensitive skin on your body.  Sure, women will argue that they shave their legs and armpits, but I don't believe this compares to the soft and sensitive areas on your face and neck.  Don't believe me?  Next time you're in the bath, try running the razor across your cheek or across your neck once---or just do the entire thing and let me know how your face feels.  Red, raw, and itchy, no?  Try having to do it every single day, LOL.

A bit ago, I mentioned how wonderful it is to not have to worry about being with child and going through the whole childbirth experience, being a man with a man's parts and all.  But laides, trust me on this one.  Getting kicked in the family jewels is of comparable pain---if only for a short while---it makes you double over with cramping like jolts, makes you sick to your stomach, and you feel like you can't ever move again, LOL.  Now, add to that the fact that the ONLY time its ever happened to me, I received a surprise line drive of a baseball right into the package, without the use of any protective gear for my boys....now THAT alone made me turn into a girl, if only for a couple hours, LOL.  I dunno how to add the link so anyone can comment, as I'm assuming the comment glitch hasn't been fixed yet.  Maybe Helly will grab mail me with the answer!  :~)

I TOLD Rinky that I was after her, and I DID it!  Mwah ha ha!  I gotta enjoy my moment of shining stardom while I can, because I have NEVER had a number 1 ALL TIME score on any game before.  I've often times come close, but I am soon booted down the ladder, and then I lose interest.  Smells the same way our chase did on Rocket's Red Glare last summer, doesn't it Rinky, LOL?  Now, if only Wills could get on the board too, it'd be like old times!

Found this interesting product at my local Wal*mart store recently, and I found myself thinking, who better to have a blast with this than my old friends on Grab, hehe.  What's your favorite flavor?

I'll take mine raspberry, (as shared with my friend Jaimie at the restaurant last week, LOL)!

I dined out with a friend of mine recently, and I was amused to no end by this section of the menu:

Now first of all, note the line that says "Show off the chimis" in the upper right corner.  Now, look at the chimis.  They are censored!  LOL---ah, if only I could write to the wonderful owners of Hacienda and let them know how disappointed I was that I didn't get to see the stone boobies while I was dining out tonight! 

Last week, I had to put  a sign on an empty display of mushrooms that were on sale, because we sold out of them much more quickly than we thought we would.  Despite the fact that I had posted this sign:

out on the sales floor, I must've had at least half a dozen people ask me if there were any more portabella mushrooms.  Hello!?  Do you not know how to read?  By the time the 6th guy had asked me, I got a little short with him.  "Excuse me sir, are there any more mushrooms in the back?"

"Hmm, let me go check.  Yup, we're STILL all out of them."  I have to talk to people like that every single day, because unless you explain things to customers like they are 2 years old, they just don't understand.  I hope you don't act like that when you go grocery shopping, LOL.  Otherwise, be prepared for the sarcasm from the HIGHLY stressed, HIGHLY overworked and severely UNDERpaid clerks!

Most years, my mom is happy with a traditional potted plant for mothers day, but my friend Julie suggested strawberries this year.  I thought it was a neat idea, and here is the finished result that my mom loved AND can eat off of in a few short weeks!

And here's a video for all the moms out there who know the absolute joys of raising boys, LOL.  (I posted this once before for humor value, but today it is much more fitting!)  Happy Mother's Day, yay!

Here's the view of where I work at from where I park at 5:30 in the morning as I'm going in to work.  The first door on the right is to get to the Starbucks, and you'd laugh at how many people wait outside for that first fix of coffee right at 6 a.m., like they are physically incapable of making their own coffee at home!  The same was true when I worked at Mcdonald's too.  There should be a green sidewalk leading up to the doors for the employees.  The Green Mile, hehe, get it?  ; )
