Why not Merry C/mas instead of Merry Xmas??? Dec 20, 2007 6:10 pm
607 Views
They've managed to kick Christ out of Christmas. It grates me the wrong way to see Merry xmas. Nuts, bah, humbug to all you x'ers.

If you want to shorten it say Merry C/mas.

And I've noticed the difference in the way I view the arrival of Christmas. When I was little I COULDN'T WAIT for Christmas! Now that I'm a grownup, Christmas comes too fast. There's so much to do. It's over in a blink, and then there's the cleanup.

Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY C/MAS etc.,

Just how pure and innocent were YOU??? Dec 8, 2007 4:58 am

When I was about 14 years old I was in a wedding reception line. A very young married man wanted to kiss the young bride maids (on the cheeks). I twirled away from him protesting, that he was married and should not be kissing any girls!

My sister was lucky enough to be with the boy she loved when she was about 16. It was dark and they were out on the patio. When she screamed, the whole family ran out to see what happened. It was a mystery to me until earlier this year when she divulged that he had ask her to be intimate. Can you imagine the cold shock that must have been for the lad?

I was madly in love with a boy when I was about 16. We were kissing, in his car, in a park, one night. My blouse came unbuttoned down the back. I thought he did it. He said he didn't. It happened a second time, and I got out of the car and walked away. Thank goodness he picked me up, it was not safe to be walking there at night. Later I found that the button holes were too big and the blouse was coming undone by our movements. (My sister made me the blouse.)

When I was engaged to the same fellow at the age of 18, he ask me to touch his 'thing'. He had joined the Navy and become worldly. I said: "THATS going to go into ME?" I didn't know what to do or anything. Eventually he broke up with me. I didn't put out until I was married to someone else.

How about you? Do you have a pure and innocent story?

Mas in Spanish means more. Maybe we will evolve into having a Mas holiday.

Mas work (to decorate and shop and cook)
Mas debt (for presents)
Mas stuff (presents) to clutter our homes

Mas bull pucky!

Remember the poem:
I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree.
A tree with (I don't remember this part, do you?
Poems are made by fools like me
And ONLY GOD CAN MAKE A TREE. (not any more)

I'm assembling my artificial tree. I bought it years ago to save a real tree, and it became more and more difficult to haul a real one home in my car. I love the smell of a real tree tho'.

How about you? What are you doing? Wood or plastic?
A real tree for me
Artificial
No tree
A tumbleweed?

Now, that's just plain RUDE!!! Nov 30, 2007 7:51 pm

My younger sister and her partner were here over Thanksgiving. Her partner is jealous of my sister's and my relationship.

Imagine my shock when I entered the house after an outing with my sis, and her partner had my bed pillow on the floor, under his feet, and their dog was sitting on it!

I quickly went over and calmly said: "We don't let the dog sit on our pillows" as I swiftly removed the pillow and began to strip the pillow case off as I walked to the laundry room.

This ticked him off and he yelled: "Well, is it ok if the dog sits on MY pillow?" I thought: "The dog can sit on your face for all I care." But I said: "Don't you have a pillow for him?" My sister said they brought blankets for the dog to sit on. Her partner was mad at me all evening.

Can you top that for rude behavior??

The comfort of comming home to a home cooked meal. Nov 27, 2007 5:51 pm
473 Views
I have a favorite picture hanging in my house. It's in blues. Of a cabin on the edge of a bay, with palm trees and a moon. It's dusk. I sometimes imagine I am walking along the curved water's edge. That I'm going to the little cabin with the light shining in the window. And that my Mother has dinner ready. Hot and waiting for me.

Mother has been gone for about 16 years. I am now the one who does the cooking. No more going home to a satisfying home cooked meal prepard by Mother at the end of the day. Only in my imagination, in my picture.

Help! Has anyone ever dealt with death threats? Nov 25, 2007 8:22 am
944 Views
Can anyone give me some advice?

My 15 year old grandaughter called the police last night. She was receiving death threats on the telephone. Her parents were out for the evening. The policeman answered one of the calls and the girl did not believe he was an officer at first and cussed him out.

This group of (girls) has even involved an adult who threatened my grandchild. The principals and the dean at her school, have taken no action. When she told the security guards, they yelled at her and made her cry. The last time they called the police, the police said no crime has been committed.

This thing has been prolonged and we all know of stories where a teen has been actually killed by a group of other kids.

I'm thinking of calling the FBI. One girl even wrote on the internet that she wants to 'murder' my grandchild.

I'm thinking of writing a letter to the newspaper to embarass the school. I know their immage is all important to them.

Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks in advance.

Oh, by the way, my grandchild is part hispanic. These 'girls' are Mexican, and my daughter cannot talk to their parents, because they don't speak English!

The bathroom incident. Nov 20, 2007 1:57 pm

Before I start, have any of you ever touched a person's foot, who was in the next stall of a public restroom? I just wondered.

When I was in my 30's, while on an international flight, my bathroom door flew open. I about had a heart attack. I grabbed the door and pulled it shut. Passengers were facing away from the bathroom as best as I could tell in that nano-second before I grabbed the door handle and shut it.

Do you have a frightful/funny incident to tell?
