Elvis Is In The House!



I know it's almost Christmas, but with so much going on, I completely missed Halloween. I had to post this photo of Bethany, my 9 yr old - she made a great Elvis! She had some moves and after each house gave her candy, she said, "Thank you, thank you very much".....of course.

My parents camp for the whole summer and the campground where they stay has a Halloween weekend we usually attend. They dress up and hand out candy, scaring all the little children....

Lovely couple, aren't they?

Supposubly, It's Just Allergies.....




OK, for the record, I'm not perfect....I know, I know, it's a shocker, but I'm afraid it's true. So the venting I'm about to unleash is not done without the knowledge that I'm sure at times I can be annoying and ridiculous. Probably not, but I don't want to sound arrogant.

Anyway, in case people don't know, I do not live in the ghetto, I do not run with a gang or hang with hoodlums. I have a professional job and interact with professional people on a daily basis. It never ceases to amaze me that people like this can use words such as "supposubly" (instead of supposedly)...I know this seems like a minor detail, but if you are an adult over the age of say...4, you have no excuse in pronouncing your words correctly. Whenever I am talking with someone and they use that word, I start talking to myself about how I can't believe they just said that word and I end up not hearing another thing the person says.

Moving on. You may also not know I am an ex-smoker. Ex-smoker's are the WORST non-smokers out there. We can't stand the smell of smoke even more than people who never smoked...not sure why, but it's true. Now because I was a smoker for 20+ years, I know what a smoker's cough is. I also have allergies and I know what a cough from allergies is like. They are not the same...not even close. So when I hear someone coughing up a lung on a daily basis, in between their smoking breaks, suddenly claim their cough must be due to an oncoming cold or allergies...I want to walk up to them, laugh in their face and say, "Are You Kidding????!!! Your cough is generated from your lungs trying to rid themselves of all the goop that is oozing from them because of your smoking!!!"....I mean seriously!

I think that's all for now....
