An Interesting Fact
I'm the oldest of 41 grandchildren. Was one of the last families to leave the South Shore Chatam after racial change in 1969. Read Pied Piper of South Shore book by Caryn Lazar Amstel for a good feeling for what those times were like. I've been in 41 plays plus.
We're Back! I think! For those of you who have been coming back of the month of August hoping to see some kind of change for the last month and finding none, my apologies. I hope you took a chance and visited out archives and found some of the treasures buried in the 600 or so posts there. Since this is mostly a comedy blog I won't go into the details, but I could skip living through this last few months again. Deaths in the family, personal crises, illness, pain, all this kinds of things... Read Full Story

Things learned from real children - mostly boys: 1. A king size water bed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep. 2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite. 3. A 3-year old boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant. 4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough... Read Full Story
I don't know about your household, but we got our George Bush Vote for The Republicans Stimulus Bribe Check last week. Oops, did I call it a bribe? Certainly not. A bribe would have to have a chance of working and who in their right mind would think that the paltry sums contained in the, as comedian Chevy Chase would have put it, economic stimulus (bribes) checks would be near enough to pay for the vast damage done to our economy my W. I wouldn't even try to put a price tag on the lives lost... Read Full Story

And now it's time for some nursery rhymes dressed up for today. These were forwarded by my friend TB and made SFW by me. I have also added a few. In some cases you can guess where I made the poem SFW, its pretty obvious. Mary had a little pig, She kept it fat and plastered; And when the price of pork went up, She shot the little ..... pig. ******************** Mary had a little lamb. Her father shot it dead.

Recently on his program Dr. Phil proclaimed, 'The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and have never finished.' So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before the morning was over I had finished off: a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos, and an entire box of chocolates...
