On a scale of 1 -10...

Okay, on a scale of one to ten how tired is everyone else of hearing the name Brett Farve?

My "tired of hearing about Brett Farve" rating is - 210 and growing daily.

Had he not cried wolf about retiring for a couple of years now it would be different. The man finally makes a tearful announcement stating he is retiring from the NFL and....."has an "itch" to come out of retirement...."

Please for the love of NFL...MAKE UP YOUR MIND!

You retired, the team has moved on with Rodgers....let them play ball in peace....don't play yo-yo with them......don't keep them dangling on the end of the string year after year and then finally take the retirement walk...only to yank the yo-yo back up again.

Please for the love of all that is sacred between goal posts....just retire and be done with it.

If I were a Packer fan I would be trading in my foam cheese head for another teams colors.

So fellow football fans...on a scale of one to ten how tired of you of hearing the name Brett Farve?

so much for...

Sleeping in....

Cat in face 6:15 am...meowing...Roxie.

Okay...I give up and get up go out, let Jingles in who had spent the night outside, and feed them both. Back to bed I go.

Next thing I know.....I wake up to my mother outside in the street yelling "Lester, Chico, get over here"...over....and over.....and over....for what seemed like "forever". I am sure her neighbors were loving her at that moment. I wanted to yell out the window and tell her to be quiet!

Okay...I give up and get up go outside, yes in my nightgown and go to where my mother is yelling at the end of the driveway and say "Lester, now"...and imagine that he comes. Of course you only need to call Lester because Chico will fall in line behind him.

Simple as that....I have not lived with these dogs for two and a half years and they mind me better than they do her....but...then they always did....just like a kid they know who they can push and who they can't.

So much for sleeping in.....

One thought...or two....or...maybe it is just one...

I have been very lax in making entries. Many times my husband and I will be watching something and, well, naturally I react to something and it is common for Sam to say " I sense a blog entry here".

Then....being the purebred procrastinator that I am it does not get written about. I even have made notes on a note pad and...yep...those notes are still not that note pad and not one word is in this blog.

Yesterday I flew home to Michigan for a few days with family. So many things I thought...that is something to write about....eventually....maybe...you will be reading them.

One thing that comes to mind was the woman who was in the same row on the plane. Young woman, early thirties, I suspect Greek. Two young boys, 3 1/2 and 20 months, Alex and Daniel. She is lucky that Alex was quite content to watch a DVD of "Thomas the Engine", "Barney" and others I did not recognize. She had her hands full keeping Daniel entertained.

It was obvious that they had money, as she was dressed in high end clothes, Daniel had on little toddler "Ralph Lauren" jeans, and the huge "Coach" purse had to cost more than a car payment on my car.

But, I digress, one thing I noticed was how her pants were worn. I thought to myself, that shows a mother that has a child on her lap often. Jeans do not typically show wear on the top of the legs do they?

Okay...so....there is one thought....more to come

Okay...so what would you do??


Okay, so what would you do....

As reported in the Ocala Star Banner:

Clerks at a Mobil gas station located at the intersection of Southeast 52nd Street and U.S. 441, made a major mistake on Tuesday with the gas price. According to sheriff’s officials, the clerks told them when they were changing the gas price, instead of putting $4.02, the figures read 42 cents.
The clerks told deputies that 30 to 40 vehicles took advantage of
their generosity before they realized their error.
The price was immediately changed after a customer told them about the
error.
After it was read at work today, there was some discussion as to who would tell....and who would not have told....what would you do?
