Your humor seems to have provoked a lot of passion! Good job!! I love a thought provoking expose'. Problem may be that some people get it .... and some miss it by a mile.

Above all, I am an observer, and I find myself forever amazed at people's character ....
I met a couple of friends tonight for Happy Hour at a local haunt. Across the bar, we heard a loud-mouthed female complaining to her live-in boyfriend that the cost of his recently deceased wife's hair care at the funeral parlor cost an 'astronimical' price of $30.00!!
The deceased had spent 11 years confined to a care facility due to disablement. (We were all aware of the situation.) The woman commenting moved in on the grieving husband and has been a female leach for four years in the wife's absence!!! The female leach had the unmitigated gall to address the deceased's HAIR DO at time of death, under the influence, openly, in a bar!!!!
Forgive me, but I had an almost uncontrolable urge to walk around and knock the woman off her barstool!!!
No wonder Melville wrote: "Humanity, ah, humanity," with great disgust and awe-filled exclamation!!!
Life is pretty simple, I think .... until one sucks in everything that occurs on the periphery! 'Stuff' invades our senses and vital space, uninvited, almost through osmosis!!! Toxic stuff .... and at the close of the day has a way of making us feel like we are ashamed to call ourselves members of the human race!!

Have a bit of a problem here and need advice.
I have a brother-in-law who has no great love for me. WHY, you ask?? Let me tell you.
My sis and I have always been great pals, were close though all these many years .... until I became divorced. It was then that my brother-in-law, her hubby, assumed a different take. He now objects to our relationship and makes it quite apparent. No subtlety about him whatsoever! He is actually blatantly rude to me!
I have asked my sister WHY???? She has informed me that she believes it's my sense of independence that bothers him!!!! I can only assume by that comment that he is threatened that she may become influenced in a similar direction.
WRONG!!
I visited my sis and her hubby last weekend. The air was so thick, I left .... prematurely.
I am amazed at my brother-in-law's insecurity!! And that, now, to his liking, my sis is upset with me for leaving as abruptly as I did.
He has won. He has driven the wedge that he hoped to drive. My sis stood firmly by his side. She MUST .... he gives her little choice.
I don't know where to go with it from here. My sis and I have done absolutely NOTHING to feed that sense of insecurity. We have not gone out "on the town," or done a THING that might feed it.
I resent my brother-in-law coming between myself and my sis. She is, and has been, my closest companion. There is little that we do not share, including his inability of having a normal sexual relationship with her due to his ill-health and physical condition.
God, help me!!! What do I do??

Choosing a mate ...

An offering from my brother ....
A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.
The first does a total make over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon gets her hair done, new make up and buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.
The man was impressed.
The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.
Again, the man is impressed.
The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5,000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.
Obviously, the man was impressed.
The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he'd given her.
Then, he married the one with the biggest boobs.
Men are like that, you know.
There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

I guess I am at that stage where I am thinking blogs are more interesting than chat. I check them FIRST now and can spend more time reviewing the recent posts than I do in chat. What do you think?

The hanging of Sadam

In my humble opinion, the desensitization of the American public is nearly complete. For anyone to shout with glee at the thought/sight of a man murdered by hanging, or in any other manner, takes us back to biblical days when spectators cheered as men were fed to lions. We have regressed as humans.
I was sickened by the occurrence, not convinced it was necessary .... I could not sleep. It was horrific to me .... a terrible, terrible nightmare.
I fear what may come as a reprisal.

My son married this weekend which naturally brought my ex-husband and I together. At the close of the evening as my friend and I were about to depart, I saw fit to approach my ex. I held out both hands to him; he responded in kind. I looked him in the eye and spoke, "Thank you for your role in making our son all that he could be. Today, I am very proud." He hugged me then and held me very close. We were both in tears. My friend of three years was gracious in his acceptance of the appropriateness of that encounter. My ex's wife, according to a later account, was a display of angst and bitterness. It was stated to me after the fact, "If looks could have killed ...." I did what came naturally to me. Was I wrong???
