HAPPY NEW YEAR

Thanks ML for kind of tagging me.

I make up words all the time.  It is like I have my own language.
For example: Cherry bum bums are elastics you put in your hair.  Ssshhhhenkin is Chicken, and Dinosaur is dinner

We found this plastic Zebra by the pool one day.  I washed him up and put him in Saphir (Car).  Every once in a while the Zebra will jump on the steering and drive down the street.  He is getting better with his driving skills compared to the first time he drove.

Ok, Maybe I am just over the edge on weird.

How many times have you received a gift that you did not like?  What did you do with it?
If you turned around and gave it to someone else as a gift then you are a re-gifter.
According to a recent pole 78% of 1500 people think it is perfectly acceptable to re-gift.  Most of the re-gifters who answer positive to the pole were women.
I have an aunt who would send me the most unusual gifts, from time to time.  I did not know what to think of these little strange goodies until one day she sent me one the had a tag on the bottom that said; To: My aunt name was hand written out, From: Your friend Betty.  Ah ha a re-gifter.
These gifts I don’t really care for, so I give them away to charity.
This is so popular that they have a website for re-gifters called, Regiftable.com.  It offers advice to potential re-gifters so they can avoid embarrassing situations.
The site doles out common sense suggestions, like do not give a partially used gift card or do not give someone a present they originally gave you.
The site also allows re-gifters and recipients to tell their horror stories. The following is a story from the site.
Mike, from New York, writes of a wealthy great-aunt giving him a used pair of black socks and a partial bottle of men’s cologne.
“I can only assume that these belonged to my great uncle who had passed away several years earlier,” Mike wrote. “To this day, whenever I see thin, black, old man socks, I think of my aunt.”
Gross.
Do you have a story of being on the recipient side of a re-gift?

What would I do if I had the day off?

I would of course sleep in.

Then I would use my new Christmas griddle and make eggs with bacon and some hot tea.

I would then sit down with Chee and watch one of the movie she got for Christmas.

I would get dressed in one of my outfits I got for Christmas.

I would convince one of the girls to go for a walk with me.

I would shop the after Christmas sale and look for a new tree and toaster.

We would stop at a coffee shop and have tea and biscuits.

Well I can dream, while sitting here in my cube at work, when hardly anyone is here because they are doing the things I dream of. But hey I will be caught up on my work.

Life in the fast lane surely makes you looooose your mind. Theses are some pictures of Big Sis’s friends from Croatia. This is what they like to do for fun. Of course Big Sis does not participate because she has never been to Croatia, and she does not recommend you try this at home. Warning don’t let your friends drink and slip n’ slide or jump over a fire naked!

I don’t know why certain things interest’s me that really should not.

Miss America, Tara Conner

I never watch the show anymore and really cannot say who wins from year to year.

But this news clip is all over the public like cheap suits.

Miss American is checking into a rehab center because of alcohol; but, wait the story is not quite finish yet, she is NOT an alcoholic.  Well, why in the heck would anyone check into a rehab if they were not a drug addict or alcoholic? It is not for the food or entertainment. 

A question came up to entice the public, why is it that Vanessa Williams was kicked out of Miss America Pageant for posing in nude photos or a former Miss Universe was told a few months into her rein that if she did not lose weight she would have to relinquish her crown.

Why is there standards set up for some people and the same standards do not apply to other people. 

I am really baffled with this one.

I was watching the Victoria Secret Fashion Show tonight. .  Actually we only watched about 7 minutes of the show. The beautiful models parade down a runway that looks like someone glued broken glass on.  These models are wearing ridiculously high heels walking in a very unnatural and unattractive strut.  Who came up with that strut?
Each model is wearing lingerie that I have never seen at Victoria Secret store.  It takes several people to get these models into these lingerie pieces.  I guess you can be a college graduate with a flowing tail or wear a 6 million dollar diamond studded bra and underwear, how about a snow queen with a full fur hat and mittens with skimpy panties and bra or better yet wear big beautiful angel wings that weigh a ton and butt floss panties with silver trimmed under-wire bra.
The best parts of the show were the other shows we watched and the pink  Victoria Secret stuffed dogs they were handing out in the behind the scene shots
I really wonder why there is such a fascination in watching this fashion show.  I not a man, so I cannot speak for them, but speaking from a women’s point of view, I find it just reinforces my insecurities of my own figure.  I get enough of that in everyday life.
This is what I heard today from the media.  They would like to put labels on all women’s jeans over size eight, an obesity hot line number.

A while ago I was watching House on TV. An Interesting scenario was played out over the hour.  A young couple got sick.  They were admitted to the hospital in intensive care and both are in critical condition, dying. They have to find out what is wrong with them.  As the episode unfolds you find out this couple is total devoted to one another.  They have known each other since they were young kids, and found this wonderful connection; they had been best friends and lovers for years now they are in the middle twenties.
House and his crew did blood test up to the waa-zoo on this couple.
They found out that the couple was related; they were half brother and sister.  Apparently the boyfriend’s father had an affair with the girlfriend’s mother. The mother got pregnant and had a baby girl, which was the girl friend.
Both were miraculously cured and were ready for discharged.  The information was disclosed to the couple about being related. The girl friend became repulsed by this information and broke up with the boyfriend and split town.  The boyfriend was devastated that he lost the love of his life.
I have been thinking about this for a while.  We live in times where sperm banks & egg donations are very, very popular.  This increases the chances of the future generations propagating with their half brother or sisters.
It is so hard to find someone that you can connect with and love.  How would you react if you found out that you and your partner were half siblings?

The older I get the harder it is to get in the “Christmas Spirit”.  Then I got to thinking what is the Christmas spirit?  I have to examine just want I felt years passed.  The only thing I came up with, I was excited about the actual day, December 25th.  I wanted to hear the carols and sing along with them, I felt comfort looking at the decorated and lighted trees.  I enjoyed watching Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph Red Nose Reindeer, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas; It’s a Wonderful Life and White Christmas.  I know that this is not what Christmas is supposed to be about.  The Christians believe Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ.  But we live in times, when airports have to remove Christmas decorations because it is offensive to people of other religious beliefs.  We have to say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas.  We have to worry about what kind of gifts we can get for our neighbors, friends, co-workers and family.  We examine out budgets and realize that we cannot afford Christmas this year, so we rack up a nice debt on our pretty shinny credit cards.
With age comes the realization that Christmas is a just a well thought out plot to boost the economy.
But as stubborn as I may be, my quest for this last week before Christmas is to find that spirit of Christmas, and to enjoy, because from what I remember it is a wonderful feeling.

The etiquette of a phone call.
I do not usually like to call anyone on the phone. I would rather talk to them in person. But if I make a call to someone, and get their voice mail or recorder, I always hesitate to leave a message, because they usually do not return the call. How long do you wait before calling them back and leaving another message? How many times are you allowed to call back and leave a message? May be I am not suppose to call back at all because that person does not feel that I am important enough to return my call.
Now I can see if you just went on a date with someone and after the date, they said hey I ‘ll call you and they never did. Then you call them and get voice mail, leave a message and they never call back.
But if you make a business call, or a social call to a friend, or a call to a neighbor it seems like the same rules apply as the one date guy. If they are not interested in you they don’t have to call back.
In a world of phones, where an individual has one in bedroom, one in the bathroom, one in the family room, one in the kitchen, one in the car, several at the office; it seems weird that when you make a call a machine answers.
If you call someone and an actual person answers the phone it is a small miracle.
