OMG, in the news
The actor Rip Torn 78 years old , drunk, ugly as hell and holding a gun broke into a bank in Swalibury Conn. It is bad to get old and go crazy also but it is worse to be sick like Elizabeth Edwards with a cheating no good husband calling the police and accusing Edwards of stealing her purse, which he probably did by the way! according to a police report filed in late 2008 Elizabeth called the cops and accused Edwards of that very thing, when ask why the report was not made public the law said Elizabeth had ask that it not be reported. Oh, how wonderful is life until it bites you in the ass.
That is about all the news I can stand today.

I have lived long enough I don't care if I am sexual attractive to someone and I found the following artificial extreme funny.This was written by a man of course.
By Andy Wright
. Problem: Your Vagina Smells Bad Solution: Vaginal Deodorant
In the seventies, Massengill tried to marry feminism and its vaginal deodorant spray ("With Hexachlorophene") in an ad that declared the product to be "The Freedom Spray." It was "...the better way to be free to enjoy being a woman. Free from worry about external vaginal odor." Because you're going to need that time you used to spend worrying about your vaginal odor to flirt your way through the glass ceiling. Oh, and Hexachlorophene? It's a disinfectant that can be lethal when absorbed through the skin. In 1972, it was added to baby powder in France due to a manufacturing error and killed thirty-six children.
In case you think vaginal deodorant is a relic of the past, just take a trip to the drug store. (I did, and I took notes. The staff of my local Walgreens is convinced that I'm both very thorough and that my vagina smells really bad.) There are several kinds of vaginal deodorants still for sale (Walgreens even manufactures a generic version). You can buy scented vaginal suppositories called Norforms in Island Escape and Summer's Eve Deodorant Spray in Island Splash. (Norforms contain something called Benzethonium chloride, which is also used as a hard surface disinfectant for fruit and classified as a poison in Switzerland. Exotic!) And you can buy FDS (Feminine, Discreet, Sensual) Spray ("For the woman who cares.") in a myriad of scents including Sheer Tropics and Fresh Island Breeze. Because if you really cared, you'd make your vagina smell like a poisonous island.
2. Problem: Your Vagina is Dirty Solution: Douching Douching, the act of forcing a mixture of fluids up into the vagina with a tube and pump, was first promoted as a form of birth control (it doesn't work) and has continued to be used for vaguely medical reasons: to prevent STIs (sexually transmitted infections), to clean the vagina after menstruation and, of course, to rid it of that disgusting vagina smell. Douching has been repeatedly discouraged by the medical community, which not only doesn't attribute any health benefits to the act, but believes that it can actually harm women. A government Web site run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services discourages douching by answering a series of hypothetical questions, one of which is: "My vagina has a terrible odor, can douching help?" The answer: No. Get thee to a doctor. Despite health concerns, manufacturers still churn out vaginal douches. Pick up a box of Summer's Eve Douche, and you'll find warnings that douching has been associated with PID (Pelvic Inflamatory Disease), ectopic pregnancy and infertility. Right next to the suggestion that women douche after their menstrual period, after using contraceptive jellies and creams and to "clear out any vaginal secretions." So basically, any time your vagina isn't as dry as a British sitcom.
3. Problem: Your Vagina is Too Loose Solution: Vaginal Rejuvenation Let's face it. Nature really screwed up when it made the vagina. Never mind that that it accommodates the birth of a child or that it's fundamentally better designed than male genitalia. (Who wants to carry their most sensitive reproductive organs on the outside?) While nature was busy dishing out things like multiple orgasms, it forgot to make vaginas vice-tight. Luckily, plastic surgeons have stepped in to put an end to womankind's collective suffering. Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation is a trademarked phrase that refers to a practice developed and popularized by Dr. David Matlock, who's made several appearances on the E! channel's plastic surgery reality show, Dr.90210. Matlock and other doctors who carry out LVR claim that the $4,000 to $20,000 procedure makes women's vaginas tighter, thus increasing sexual pleasure. But many doctors disagree. The American Urogynocology Society won't endorse it. And the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists cautioned in a 2007 statement that women seeking "designer vaginas" should be "informed about the lack of data supporting the efficacy of these procedures and their potential complications, including infection, altered sensation, dyspareunia, adhesions, and scarring." Sexy!
4. Problem: Your Vagina is Ugly Solution: Labiaplasty If your vagina is tight enough (and let's face it, it's probably not) you've still got to deal with the labia. And by "deal with," I mean remove. Labiaplasty drastically reduces the labia, the protruding lips that surround the opening of the vagina. Why would you want to do this? Because your labia are "unequal," "elongated," "large," "irregular," "floppy," and "unfeminine." These are just some of the unflattering adjectives bandied about on the Web sites of surgeons who offer this procedure. Luckily, with the use of lasers and scalpels, your vagina can be made "prettier," "better proportioned," "youthful," and achieve "the true Playboy aesthetic look." How much will it cost you to make your labia proportional and feminine? About $5,000 or more.

The Moore's
I was delighted to see aunt Omie's family photo. somewhere there is a picture of pauline's daughter and the Blondie Etta lee's daughter in grandpa Powell's front yard. date about '43 in fact uncle Harold took the photo and I bet Winnie Joe has the photo somewhere.
poss is pauline's husband and pauline was in a nursing home when poss came to visit aunt Thelma back in the 80's.
John Moore visited with daddy in the 50's. I remember he fished in our pond.
Guy Moore was a drunk and disappeared into skid row for several years when he was old he contacted Oma and she let him return to the home. in fact probably about the time this photo was made. The last time we saw Guy was in the 50's after grandpa died in 1954. He was at our house and he told daddy he drank some every day and was able to control his dranking that way. Aunt Omie was a bigger woman than grandma, not fat just larger frame.

JAMES CARVILLE speaks
James Carville speaks out about the election for senator in Mass. and as usual he says a mouthful, you might want to read what he has to say. THE BLAME GAME.
church key


My family was not a beer drinking family so I was 40 years old before I learned a beer opener was called a church key and today I got to wondering why It was so named. so I looked it up.
There is sparse, and often contradictory, documentation as to the origin of the term "church key", though most agree the phrase is a sarcastic euphemism, as the opener was obviously designed to access beer, and not churches.
One explanation for the term "church key" lends its origin an almost mythic significance; in Medieval Europe, monks and nobility were the only brewers. Lagering cellars in the monasteries were locked, as the monks guarded the secrets to their craft. The monks carried keys to these lagering cellars on their cinch, or belt. It may have been this key from which the "Church Key" opener got its name.
Another motive for assigning the device such an ironic name could have been the fact that beer was first canned (for test marketing) in 1933[8] — the same year Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Cullen-Harrison Bill.[9] This act, which predated Repeal of Prohibition, amended the Volstead Act, making 3.2 beer legal. Some experts have posited the term "church key" was a way to "stick it to" the religious organizations who had effected Prohibition in the first place.[10]
Another possible reason for calling the device a "church key" is that in some rural areas, churches were not locked, so no key was needed. Because the can opener is designed so anyone one could use it, the ubiquity of access was compared to the ability to get into a church at any time.

a chicken lover
I found someone else who is chicken crazy, click on the title to visit her blog. her chicken story is posted in full below!
So last Thursday evening, I went into the chicken coop around dusk to collect eggs and shut them in for the night and Claire was still on the nest. Not normal for a chicken to still be on the nest in the evening. I made a mental note to check her out the next morning, already becoming paranoid as to what this might mean. The next morning she was on the nest as well. She looked uncomfortable and seemed to be flexing her nether regions....y'know, where the eggs come out. Oh God. She is egg bound. Freak out a little bit. I felt her abdomen and it sort of felt like an egg was hanging out there but I couldn't tell and that doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong. I will check on her when I get home from work and take action then. Hopefully she won't die by then as a result of my neglectful chicken husbanding ways.
I got home in the mid-afternoon (Good Friday and all) and found her still on the nest. Still felt like an egg in there. Time to take action. I consulted my trusty Storey's Guide to Chickens to see what I had to do to fix an egg-bound chicken. It involved a latex glove and ummm....personal lubricant. Which I did not have. But okay, CVS is only a short drive. I'll just go get some and come back and save Claire's life.
So I go to CVS to buy the personal lubricant, for the chicken, and I wasn't sure where to find it, since I've never bought that particular product (not that there is anything wrong with that particular product, I just haven't had the need for it. Okay, TMI.). Anyway. So I find the aisle in the store where it is stocked and wow. I was not aware that there were so many choices of personal lubricant available. I figured K-Y, Astroglide, and maybe some generics. I was stunned. There are tons and tons of these products! Scented, spray-on, warming, flavored, different colors. When did this happen? I stood there looking at the the five shelves of personal lubrication that stood before me.
And I must have looked bewildered. Because a CVS employee, a man, came over to ask me if I needed help. In my head I was telling myself "Just say no, just say no, he'll go away, just tell him no". But I didn't do that. I said that I was looking for a personal lubricant that was plain, that didn't have any fragrance or smell or warming stuff, just a plain simple one. And he asked if there was an allergy issue or something.
And I said...... "No, its for a chicken".
I know. The words started slowing down before they were even out of my mouth because only then did I realize how ridiculous the words were and how they most likely would totally be taken wrong and would suggest something unspeakable.
And that is exactly what happened.
The CVS employee looked at me with such disgust and horror. And I had to explain about the egg-bound thing and how it really wasn't what he thought. And he still was unnerved and shoved a box containing a CVS brand plain lubricant at me and mumbled "this should work". And I paid and left.
Long story short, after the donning of the glove, the applying of the shame inducing product, and a suprising compliant chicken....she was not egg-bound. She was broody. And she came bounding out this morning all fresh and happy, not sitting on her nest. And I have learned valuable lessons about when to keep your mouth shut. :

Sarah being Sarah
In what can only be labeled as a stunning yet entirely predictable turn of events, former Vice Presidential candidate and "chief common sense haver" Sarah Palin has stepped down from her new role as Fox News contributor - only minutes after inking the deal.Not wanting to be labeled as a quitter, Palin was adamant that this was because she was duped by the "elitist liberal Ivy-league educated freedom haters" who didn't tell her that there wouldn't be phonetics on her teleprompter and that she was "being lured into doing fascist work behind a desk that freedom-loving Americans can understand why she wouldn't want to do".

the happy chicken

We are going to have a heat wave today the temperature is suppose to climb to 32 degrees. We have been in the deep freeze for a week.
Fleta had to come up and get me on line with the new computer and I gave her some of my eggs. Kelly took a dozen and Sammy took two flats to Tony so I only have 1 and 1/2 dozen this morning. The hens have slacked off some while it is so cold.
I have the itches. I break out in a rash and it just about drives me crazy.
My new computer is doing fine. When mine crashed I decided I would just let it go and forget computers but my children, Kelly and Tony and their wives bought me a new Hp computer. I ware a computer out in about 3 years, maybe this one will last until I go into the great beyond.

cold chicken
The brutal cold that hit northwest Arkansas this week has made things for poultry growers, already a beleaguered group, even tougher. Profits made slim by rising fuel costs and dropping chicken prices will be sliced even thinner.The University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture has reported some growers have gone 48 hours without sleep in an effort to monitor and regulate conditions in their chicken houses .
Cheryl Ann has been busy trying to clean her houses and prepare for babies chicks. I hope the temperature climbs before they bring her chicks.
I have brought every thing I can find in the chick pen to give my chicks water, I fill the containers and the next morning they are full of ice and I have to find new container for water. I soon will have more ice tubs than I have chickens.
After tomorrow it is suppose to warm up to 40 degrees, we may have to turn on the air conditions it will be so warm.

catching up with the news

"He's lived through a battle or two, vanquished many a foe,'' a narrator says of the retired Navy pilot and admiral's son who spent five and a half years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. "But perhaps no battle in our lifetime is more vital than the one John McCain fights now... a battle to save America, save our jobs...
"John McCain leads the charge to slash government spending, bloated bureaucracies and ridiculously unaffordable ideas like government run health care . never mind he ran and was defeated by Obama!
With out the net I would never have known what James Carville said about air port scanners.....He said they could measure his penis any time.
I read that the GOP was taunting the Democrats about unemployment being high and saying where are the JOBS? So what is new? The GOP doesn't mind people being homeless and hungry as long as they can crow about the failure of President Obama and the Democrat party to provide Jobs. I am so glad to get to read the news and not have to listen to the TV.
I am back

I had a major melt down on my computer. Kelly has delivered this new machine this day and I am back on the net. This is a HP machine and I have to get some stuff down loaded like Picasa for my photos.
We have just about froze to death the last few days since I was on the net. I couldn't check the weather, I couldn't check for the temperature, no computer. Son said I could check the thermometer but I didn't have one so I had to turn on the TV. what a pain.
sister had to come up and get me on the Internet and she had a hard time trying to find out how to disconnect. I said don't worry I will just stay on line all the time. no one calls but bill collectors any way.
I will read up on the news. I have had to listen to the talking heads on TV for my news. They never fail to make me mad! I was listening to Kieth Olberman on MSNBC last night, he is suppose to be pro Democrat but he called President Obama Mr. Obama 3 times in a news story and then refereed to George Bush as President Bush, I wanted to call him up and chew on him.
I really think that the news media is bias against President Obama because he is black or 1/2 black.Any way I don't have to listen to them tonight!

cold advise
It's late fall and the Indians on a remote reservation in South Dakota asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like.Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.But, being a practical leader, after several days, he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is the coming winter going to be cold?""It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold," the meteorologist at the Weather Service responded.So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?" "Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "it's going to be a very cold winter."The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.Two weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?""Absolutely," the man replied. looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we've ever seen.""How can you be so sure?" the chief asked. The weatherman replied, "The Indians are collecting firewood like crazy."Remember this story whenever you get advice from a government official!
