FaceBook has got me...

I am now a Facebook whore! There is no other word for it. I log on in the morning, I work for an hour or so then BAM! There I am on the Facebook highway. I catch up, make a comment here or there then back to work for a while.

Its awful. I love it! Its like a your favorite food and you can't get fat. Now don't get me wrong I make sure that I don't live there, just visit. I love a quick chat with a friend. Relizing that I'm not the only one that day that wished they had stayed in bed with the covers pulled over their head. I love not having to deal with people if I don't want to!!! I can lurk and nobody cares. I'm not anxiously awaiting comments to a post. Was it stupid? Is anybody reading me any more? On FB there is no pressure. Right now I don't need pressure.

I'm not saying its BETTER than blogging, I'm saying its easier. I don't feel like I have to be creative in my postings to keep people reading and nobody is really leaving comments any more so how do you know?

So sorry to all you folks out there in blog-land. I loved blogging but I guess I've moved on. Maybe someday I'll bop back in but most likely by then I will have learned how to TWITTER...which I haven't quite figured out yet...

I'm still reading everyone else and yes I'm lurking.

Bad Moon Rising

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising lyrics

Husband is having a really bad week!

Am I a Looney Survival Lady? Probably......

I recently received this e-mail:

"My husband sent this to me because he's always making me buy potted meat at the darn dollar general and everywhere else. He's a paranoid survival guy. Either way, you can pretty much bet i'm gonna be a gonner because i refuse to eat SPAM, Potted Meat, (With or without crackers) and Vienna sausages.

But to those of you like my husband and my mother who are waiting on the storm of the century, zombies to walk, and gas bombs to drop, please see below at this guy's recommendations after he went through Katrina."

Now the rest of the e-mail tells this guys survival story and the mistakes he made along the way with Katrina. He also lets you know that he made some pretty smart moves. I was impressed. This guy instantly became my hero because HE KNOWS! He went thru the Katrina hell and he did better than most and he was nice enough to pass on this information.
Yes, I want to be ready. How do we know the government is not making some weird shit for germ warfare? Nothing is fail safe, we are humans, so who knows maybe Stephen Kings' "The Stand" or "The Day of The Dead" won't happen? Hmmmm? I mean there are so many under ground labs and missile bases that we aren't privy to that we could be sitting on top of a time bomb and never know it.

Then there are the predictions of Nostradamus. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm a firm believer in God. But God has slapped some pretty awful shit on people in the past AND even the bible predicts an Armageddon and the four horsemen.

My husband thinks I'm slightly off base with the whole "government and what if terrorists (not just the ones outside, we got some pretty scary people living in the good 'ol US of A) DO what they are threatening" thing.
His favorite saying "Honey, they have people that make sure of those issues".
Me, I promptly throw the economy in his face along with gas prices and other government follies. I have no shame.
My favorite saying "Anytime you want something Fu%$ed up ask the government to handle it".

Living where we do hurricanes are another issue. I'm prepared, but according to that guys story about Katrina I need to kick it up a notch or two. Which I'm going to do. No doubt.

Make fun if you want, label me another loony tune that puts aluminum foil over windows (no I don't do that) an never read me again, but when the zombies walk, the storm of the century hits you betcha me and SIL are gonna be totally prepared and hunkered down.
Guaran-damn-tee when things get bad husband and daughter gonna love that SPAM and cracker sandwich!

Just a scattered mind at work.....

OK, how come husbands give you money for Christmas then get upset if you want to spend it on something you want that they think is stupid? Especially after they just bought themselves a new golf club and you DIDN'T give them any money for Christmas. Is it just me or are there others out there?

The other day I had an old man flip me off in Publix's parking lot. Yep, just gave me 1/2 a peace sign and proceeded to continue to pull out in front of me. God Bless him.

The company I work for is having very s-l-o-w cash flow issues. I worry, my boss doesn't. I have had two paychecks late (but got them none the less). I have been on the phone the last few weeks negotiating with non negotiating vendors. Some work for payments and some have told me "by this date or your going to collections". Friendly bunch.
I am very anal about the bill paying and basically aside from 2 vendors everyone is in the 45 day range. Problem is its year end and every government agency, city agency and insurance company wants their money NOW!

Why do cats yak all the way down the hallway instead of just standing still and getting it over with? Why does it have to happen at 2am which means you have to get up, clean it up or the dog will eat it. Gross, yes, reality ewwww yes.

How come my pre-shrunk jeans shrunk in a cold wash and warm dryer?

Does anyone know where I put my remote for the garage door? And yes I already looked in the fridge since I have previously found the TV remote there.

The local newspaper has cut the size of the paper on Mon. & Tues., they haven't cut the cost. They explain they are doing us a favor by not eliminating the "slow days" paper altogether, therefore keeping people in jobs. YET, their customer base has grown 25% in the last quarter. Hmmmm

Why are ink cartridges so expensive for printers? Why won't my printer work when the colored ink is out and I'm only using black? Conspiracy theory.

Anyone going to the Inauguration?

I didn't make any resolutions this year. Decided every time I succeed at something I'm going to say it was my New Years resolution.
