Really ugly day

with a haze in the air, from the fires in Arizona. Can't see the mountains, just a few miles away. Also, it has started to feel like summer with a temp of about 90. Yuck, not ready for that.

Was on our way to a wedding reseption Saturday afternoon, all gussied up; Dennis in his 400.00 suit, Brian in his slacks and vest, me in my long dress and heels. It was 97 degrees out with 100 percent humidity and we're driving up Lewis in Michigan from Ohio and we have a flat tire on the Van about 2 miles from our destination! GREAT! Well, I said to Den, you'll have to take off your jacket and change the tire. "Oh the spare is no good",he replies.
Thank goodness 2 cars stop to assist us. One is a group of gals who ferry me up to the reception and I get Nancy to come back and pick Brian up in her handicap van and take him back to the hall. The other fellow stays with Den and calls a local tire dealer nearby and they get a used tire mounted and back on the van. There are good people around! Just not in Ohio!!! What a day......... and I really hate my husband for being such a jerk to forget about the spare tire! He has upteen spares out back for the racecar, but no spare for the van!!! I was fit to be tied!

Yuck, sounds terrible. Is that something God would be involved in? Not sure how psople like you think about something like that. Don't be mad at me for asking, just wonder how you think. AND, you shouldn't say you 'hate your husband, for being such a jerk'. That doesn't sound good, for a Christian lady like you. You gotta figure when you aspire to a certain point, you are held to a different standard. Just how it is. Glad it turned out well, at least it sounded that way. Read it now, will probably be gone tomorrow, when things look different.

Okay, I concede. Hate is a strong word. Let me just say, I hated his lack of responsibility. Say, I was the one driving alone with my handicapped son and the tire blew and there was no spare? I can change a tire, but there was no spare!
When you mock, Steve, you mock well.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

piss off some people, but sometimes I just want them to wake up and use the brain they were born with. When you get a LOT of people who don't care about facts, and are proud of the fact that they, 'take it on faith', you got a treasure trove for a political organization. Joila! The Christian, Repub Party unholy alliance is born. These people don't need any proof, they just take stuff 'on faith', and are PROUD that they can 'turn off their brain' when there's a conflict between fact and faith. This was HUGE, when Karl Rove and those of his ilk realized the possibilities. Hence, the modern Repub Party/Christian coalition. Speak of God and patriotism and you instantly get millions of knee jerk votes. Scary, but very true, as most voters really don't have the time or inclination to follow facts. When you have millions of people who believe the earth is 5000 years old, and actually believe in a literal Noah's Ark, they wil...

Not sure why,

BUT, am still wearing the necklace. Has been a tradition, for over 30 years, to wear the necklace, 'for awhile', until I lose the feeling, of the beach, in Mexico. Can't say why, but, still have it on. "Tis a sad day, when I take it off, and am not ready to go there, yet. Don't ask. 'Tis an old tradition...
