    What did you learn today? Part II

    I've heard of schools using cats who are good mousers to safely catch mice without the need for dangerous chemicals and poisons, especially around small children. It's a safer alternative to putting mouse traps and mouse bait out.

    You use that for WHAT?

    Me and metal don't get along. I usually end up cutting myself one way or another. Do you have pics of the purses you've made with the old cans? This sounds kind of cool really.

    Bill: No snacks for food stamp users

    Who said anything about entitlement???? I didn't say it wasn't a necessity, it's just an option to be made available. Not every kid likes oatmeal, not every one has time to make everything from scratch. Some convenient options are handy. Many times fresh fruits an vegetables are very...

    What did you learn today? Part II

    I learned that I must really be hated. Oh well. I'm so used to rejection, I can't even expect a true compliment. At least not from people in my hometown. I think they all wanna see me fail so they can have something to laugh about. Shame.

    Random Vents.....

    I just seen where the woman that pissed me off last weekend via text message posted a pic on her FB that said "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all, and don't post it on facebook either." I thought to myself, what a FAKE! So I posted a pic back - "You're so fake you make...

    You use that for WHAT?

    I use tooth picks to dig out the crud from under my finger nails when I can't find my fingernail clippers. (don't worry I throw away the tooth pick after use) My driver's license for an ice scraper. A knife for a screwdriver. A shoe string for a slip lead for a small dog. My iPhone for a...

    How are you feeling today?....

    At that price I'd love to see that golden brick plop out onto the ground. That's when I grab it an run to the bank laughing like a maniac about to get rich.

    War on..... corporate greed? Many corporations lobby in Congress to get their food products touted as 'healthy' when in fact it isn't and the corporation gets financial gain from the government endorsement. Ex: Tyson. Their product is labelled 'healthy' so many schools receive frozen Tyson...

Almost anxious because I have less than a quarter tank of gas to get by on until I can go to the bank to deposit my check and make it to the gas station - on Friday. Too bad tomorrow is only Thursday. I nee to improvise. I may sneak some lawn mower...

    I had a head cold for the most part of this week, but it seems to be getting better now. This is the time of year I usually come down with some sort of crap. Last year, I was sick enough it hurt to breathe and I hurt all over for about a week and a half and I had zilch energy. I never went to...
