2007 Greetings

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A GREAT NEW YEAR..........MAY IT BE BETTER THEN THIS ONE.

Adventures In Babysitting.

Watched one of the Supervisors from works little boy. Mom and Dad's birthday s are close together and they like to go out to a fine dining restaurant. That means no short boy in the mix for the night.
The girls each treated him differently. Savannah patted him like a dog and goes nice baby and then walked off. Constance hugged him. Look someone smaller then me to push around.

Al being waited on hand and foot. Chocolate cheese cake.MMMM

So Me.

The first person to find this for me in a XXL will be my friend for like...a day...maybe..

The Sky Is Falling.

The weather heads here predicted that the world was going to end as we know it. Ice and snow and fire from heaven was going to rain down on us . It didn't happen.
It rained and then it turned to freezing rain. We didn't get as much as they said. Schools and other places closed for the day...But not the greedy retailers..
I talked to a lady who runs her own restaurant and she said that she hated it when they try to make a storm out to be more then it is. It really hurts her business because people are afraid to go out. I think they should just say what they think is coming and what we may get...we don't need them breaking in and doom saying.
Also...the places that are open need to under stand not everyone that works for them likes to drive in nasty weather. Some people think its a really good idea to just stay at home and wait for the road to be come clear.
that's my two cents.

Christmas List 2007...

Since the list from last year was completely ignored I decided to go a differant route.
Money....if it was good enough for Sally Brown it should work for me.
I was told I was hard to buy for ...If I want something I get it for myself. Ok yeah I do that.
Here are some more suggestions...
Money
Gift Cards. Make sure there isn't a fee or expiration dates on them. Mall and Grocey store ones are known for that.
Money
A Paper Shredder.
DVD Box Sets.
Peace on Earth
Money
Ammo
A weekend of rest.

Oy Vey

There are times that I still feel like a small town boy. I think if I know something then the whole world knows it.
I work with a lady who asked a question the other day that just stunned me and everyone at the meeting. She's in her early 50s with adult children and some college eduction. She asked what the differnace was between Hanukkah,and Chanukah. Her question was met with silence.One of the other ladies said that it just depended on the group of how they spelled it but it was all the same...
Worked retail all these years and didn't think to ask before now.

Like I'd say something mean

the short ,the perky ,and Hannah.
Hire the handicap

Last Years...

Got my first Christmas present. Nancy got me tickets to see Rent. Yep for those that know me this is my 9,430 time of seeing it. It was really good. Great seats and the sound system was set not to loud. The only problem was the size of the seats. They did a remodel of the theatre but to stick in more seat they put them to close together.
Had to laugh at the group at the end of the row. A group of ladies with a couple newbies. There friends tried to explain the show to them. Its not something that is easy to explain.
The day before we had a nice ice storm. I thought back to the last time Rent came to town. There was a huge snow storm the day of the show and I wasn't able to get down to see it.Thought history would repeat its self.
