As for all the fuss over Sarah Palin's pregnant and unmarried daughter ... people that are pointing fingers really need to reexamine their own lives and ask if they are perfect! People are going on about it being ironic that Mrs. Palin's stance is abstinence and her 17 year old is pregnant. Apparently those people are just NOW learning that the old adage of "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink" is very true. HELLO, the translation that applies to the current situation is simple; you can instill what you believe are good values in your children and they will do as they damned well please anyway!
The fridge has gone stewpid again. Tom took the freezer apart this time. Oy. Seems there was a layer of ice under the tray. Prolly be another hour or so with the doors hanging open before the piping is thawed. Going to leave them open until the top ice tray thaws.
Bagging and tagging up to 14 Feb 2006 is done.
I have writing to do, but I can't quite get it sorted out in my head, yet. More on that later, maybe. It's more of an RP thing.
In the meantime, before I go off to do laundry and whatnot, I leave you with today's funny (a rerun from the vault) and some lovely youtube music.
A Florida senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership.
Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left. "Amazing!" he thought as he flew down I-75, pushing the pedal to the metal even more. Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw the highway patrol behind him, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. "I can get away from him - no problem!" thought the elderly speedster as he floored it to 100mph, then 110, then 120mph. Suddenly, he thought, "What on earth am I doing? I'm too old for this nonsense!" He pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the Trooper to catch up with him.
Pulling in behind him, the Trooper walked up to the driver's side of the Corvette, looked at his watch and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason why you were speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go." The man, looking very seriously at the Trooper, said, "Years ago, my wife ran off with a Florida State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back."
"Have a good day, Sir," said the Trooper.
