Oh boy, can I think of a few places to share this wonderful bit of grammar/spelling info!
Ten Words You Need To Stop Misspelling
It's the usual words that I see butchered every day, everywhere I go.

Chat Boards
Oh jeez...what was I thinking!!
I joined another chat board yesterday, and oh boy, is that one thing that can really make the time fly!!
The board members are women I know from a few other boards...places where I used to kill a lot of time. The thing with chat boards is they tend to "spin off" each other, kind of like some of the old tv shows did. This one is yet another spin-off.
I spent several hours there since signing up, and already it looks like there may be a storm a brewing!
I will stay out of the drama....and try to avoid spending too much time there.
I don't need it--too much else going on in the world.

Garlic and Vampires
I know, I am too easily entertained! This made me LOL, really!
Full article here
and, the video: No way could I have kept a straight face for that interview, whether I was the TV reporter, or the Councilman!

The residents of Lawndale, California are causing a stink over the town's plants. Apparently, the roads are lined with garlic--which either smells like skunk or marijuana depending on who you talk to.

Damn, It's COLD!!
Looks like the "cold spell will last through the weekend" according to the local news.
Gov. Crist signs emergency order for cold weather
Crops will be damaged, some destroyed. We'll see loss of needed income for our growers, and higher prices in the stores.
Shelters for the homeless opened up on Sunday I think it was? They normally open at 7pm whenever temps drop to 40 or less.
My daughter said she heard on the local news that we may drop to freezing overnight. From what I can see in all the local reports, the "drop to freeze" is predicted further inland, and is not supposed to include the coastal areas--usually, we manage to stay a little warmer.
Think I'll grab some Baileys for my last cup of coffee, and an extra blanket for my bed.

Bristol Palin: PR/Political Consultant?
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
I read about this new "business venture" earlier today on a couple of blogs, and was happy to hear on my sick teevee, that Rachel was covering it.
What is really up with the BSMP LLC? Is it to show the courts that Bristol has a job and her own income, whenever that custody case comes up? Could it be a way of funneling some of the money from $arahPac? Or is it just another shiny object, thrown out to divert attention from some of the 'gates' surrounding the Quitter?
When will the Quitter tweet about this? When will her ghostwriter post on FB about it? Will she/they spin it all somehow, and blame it on President Obama?
Grab some popcorn, an adult beverage of choice, sit back and enjoy the show!

"Maybe it's Satan"
With my messed up TV, I only heard bits and pieces of The Ed Show earlier this evening, so I missed seeing one of my most favorite people on tonite!
Luckily, I found the video on TPM:

I am still LMFAO at the "Maybe it's Satan".

A Quiet (COLD!) Sunday
I stayed in my jammies, fuzzy slippers and robe all day, reading blogs, listening to the teevee. My jammies for the times we get a cold front and the temps drop below 60: sweat suits!
I just peeked at the local weather online: current temp is 46, and it's supposed to get down to 38 overnight. No wonder I am freezing! Jeez! I did NOT move to FL to be cold in the winter!
I am 'listening to the teevee' here in my bedroom, not watching it. It's old, and on it's deathbed. When I get a picture on it, it's all messed up, and the sound is distorted with a loud humming noise. When there is NO picture, the sound is perfect.
Yesterday, I looked at the Good Will store, to see what tv's they might have. They had ONE: a little 13" one. I looked all over that one, and there was no place to plug it into a cable box--so, it wouldn't get anything at all. Oh well.
Maybe tomorrow, if there's time, I'll get to the one remaining KMart store and see what they have. I hear KMart still does lay-a-way, LOL!
If nothing else works out, I could just move the tv from the family room to my room. Or, move the computer to the family room?
Tomorrow, I must get out of the pj's (sweats) and go out; there's one 'stop & drop delivery', and a basket of brochures to toss. I dread going out in the cold, but at least the heater in the truck works--or it did the last time I needed it! ;)

H1N1 Vaccine?
Did YOU get the vaccine?
Why or Why Not?
I did NOT.
Because:
I seldom catch so much as a common cold, let alone the flu! I think my last cold was before my Dad passed on; almost 5 years ago.
With reports of vaccine shortages, I felt it was better that I leave 'my' dose for someone else who might need it more.
I absolutely HATE needles!

Limpballs: No Heart Attack!
In his little press conference, Rush says the docs found no coronary artery disease, blahblahblah.
Something funny he said: "I got an angiogram....a catheter treatment through the heart...."
I hate to inform you, Mr. Limpballs....an angiogram is NOT a treatment. It is a diagnostic procedure involving the use of X-ray imaging to see the inside of the heart's blood vessels.
And, of course it was negative---the gasbag has no heart!
Notice how he states that he received the best care in the world, and there is "nothing wrong" with our health care system. HA! Easy to say and believe excellent health care is available in our country...IF one happens to be a millionaire and/or have good health insurance!

Welcome, 2010!
WOW!
A brand-new year, already!
Time seems to fly...faster with each passing year!
Christmas kept me busy---got all the Avon deliveries done, and then finished shopping for my family. It was a slim Christmas--not a whole lot of gifts. Most of the money I had available for shopping, I spent on my granddaughters. It's such a joy, to watch them open gifts--they enjoy the simplest things, like sidewalk chalk, a new movie, classic kid games.
New Years' Eve: I stayed home in my jammies, and watched Kathy Griffen/Anderson Cooper cover the celebration in Times Square. At midnite, I went out in the driveway to watch the fireworks. Neighbors across the street joined me for hugs and good wishes.
The blue moon made the night so bright and beautiful here. A little chilly...60s I think? Not too bad though!
I hope this new year will bring good things, good solutions, and better times for all of us.
PEACE!!
