Leap Year Cactus February 7, 2012 3 full blooms 3 half blooms 8 buds There has been a rumor that I may be kidnapped to Key West either the week before or the week after THE day but I have been unable to find out anything about it--meanwhile some of the definite plans have been set and are in motion. Within the 29 days of February I plan to eat in 19 different restaurants of which 5 are favorites, 6 I have wanted to try and haven't gotten to yet or have been out of my budget ... Wed, 8 Feb 2012 01:24:21 GMT http://my.greasy.com/kristilyn3/sort_2.html Soooo I have decided to try quitting smoking. Again. This will be my millionth attempt. Ha! But really, I am hoping for the best. I am on Chantix, which does help, and also I just bought an electronic cigarette. It's called Blu, and I am in love. I used to have an ecig for when I was out and about and it was fun, but I didn't have it for the purpose of quitting, just to smoke when I couldn't actually smoke for long periods of time. This time is different. I am TRYING to quit. I haven't had ... Tue, 7 Feb 2012 20:15:51 GMT http://my.greasy.com/fredo/changes.html Every day I see changes.What do I see.My life,my image,my soul. This has been a tough decision for us to make where in the word do we want to go?I send some information that Dick Albert who used to be the x weather man back on channel five in Boston. He has a gig as he is travel spokes person. They do not mentioned the name of this. He has a five night stay in Prague. The price is fair and the country is beautiful there. That is one place I always wanted to visit. But we will see whatever ... Tue, 7 Feb 2012 20:02:54 GMT http://my.greasy.com/jondude/evaluating_laws_proposed_ones.html When I evaluate a proposed law, a ballot voter proposition or a dispute of any kind that calls for my opinion or vote, I consider these two questions: 1. Can it cause me direct physical or financial harm? 2. Will it take away any rights that I and my fellow citizens now have? If the answer to one of those is YES, I oppose it. If the answer to both of those is NO, then I will support it. Tue, 7 Feb 2012 18:47:46 GMT http://my.greasy.com/greatmartin/celebrating_leap_year_birthdays--part_5.html It was the Leap Year of Leap Years. It started with Gino and I going to the Curtain Up Awards--the local theatre award show--on February 23, 2004. Two days later Chuck came in from Memphis and we went to The Cheesecake Factory for lunch, afterwards the movies to see "Monster" (and I still think Charlize Theron gave the best performance ever by a female in that film) and then a bite to eat at Hamburger Mary's. On the 26th Bob, Jim, Gino, Chuck and I had dinner at The Old Florida Seafood Hou ... Mon, 6 Feb 2012 21:46:26 GMT http://my.greasy.com/fredo/madonna_dazzles_super_bowl_half.html She was great and did a fine job there better than any of the other previous years at the Super Bowl. Madonna on Sunday dazzled the Super Bowl crowd with an high-octane half-time show that started with an army of Roman gladiators and ended with plea for world peace written in lights. The glittering 12-minute performance at Lucas Oil Stadium featuring several guest stars had legions of fans racing to Twitter to give their thumbs-up, with some going so far as to declare it one of the best in ... Mon, 6 Feb 2012 19:54:48 GMT http://my.greasy.com/dragonflyby/whining.html My birthday was Jan 19. I did not get a card from my son or my grandsons- and needless to say, no gift. My son called me on the 18th to wish me a Happy Birthday. Why does it matter so much to me that he did not send a card? Am I a bi-ch for feeling disappointed? After all, he remembered to call. I told him (on the 18th) about the tests the VA was running to rule out bladder cancer. He has never bothered to pick up the phone to see how I was doing, or to ask if I got any results back yet. A ... Mon, 6 Feb 2012 19:11:45 GMT http://my.greasy.com/fredo/history_interrupted.html New York Giant again stop Patriots short of a record setting win. What can I say.This is the second worst game that I saw along with the other one that they lost to the same team. They gave the Giant free point in the first quarter and continued to dig themselves in a hole. Did not like the body language on Brady and he knows that there is a lot of pressure on him. The defense were terrible,they were running all over them. Thought we had a slim chance in the fourth and Welker drop the ball ... Mon, 6 Feb 2012 16:56:20 GMT http://my.greasy.com/greatmartin/mother_nature_topped_herself---for.html Six years ago I bought a full flowering white and pink Christmas cactus and every year since then it has started to bloom in November being in full bloom by Christmas. This past November/December/Christmas not a bud. The same thing in January but when I woke up Wednesday, February 1, the first day of my 19th Leap Year month I saw it! There were buds on the plant almost overnight and by Thursday a couple were opening up. Yesterday, Friday, February 3, 2012, Leap Year month the buds blossome ... Mon, 6 Feb 2012 01:40:29 GMT http://my.greasy.com/fredo/payasitosclown.html A very nice photo from our friend in Guatemala. Payasitos meaning clown. This was taken on our way out to the ocean. As you can see that I am ready. Not sure if I liked this pictures Looked very pale there.Maybe need some sun. Or this is due to my anemia who knows. Dolly Parton saying that anything sag need to be fixed.LOL. I know that this guy is sagging.LOL.But will not get it fixed.Why? I loved it.Beside could not afford it.LOL.(kidding) Just killing time as we still have a couple of ho ... Sun, 5 Feb 2012 21:51:03 GMT http://my.greasy.com/fredo/know_day_issuper_bowl.html Sending my Angel to take care of the boys. Finally,the day has come to enjoy the wonderful world of sport. New England Vs.NY Giants. Should be a great game.Maybe a tight one. Wishing them the best of luck in the game. Lets make Some Noise.We will see tonight. Kick of at 6:29. No party here,just the three of us will be watching the game. Used to go and party with them,not any more. Too much confusion for me. Today we took a drive over to Hampton Beach,the weather was brilliant blue and sunn ... Sun, 5 Feb 2012 17:49:07 GMT http://my.greasy.com/greatmartin/happened_leap_year--1936--i.html A couple of months ago Maria posted the web site whathappenedinmybirthyear.com if you haven't out your year of birth do so as it is a lot of fun FORT LAUDERDALE 2012 In 1936, the world was a different place. There was no Google yet. Or Yahoo. In 1936, the year of your birth, the top selling movie was Camille . People buying the popcorn in the cinema lobby had glazing eyes when looking at the poster. Remember, that was before there were DVDs. Heck, even before there was VHS. People were ind ... Sun, 5 Feb 2012 02:09:21 GMT http://my.greasy.com/elderjane/conversion_disorder.html We have a gaggle of young ladies making involuntary movements in various parts of the United States. Knowing teens as I do, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it were not a hoax and a conspiracy. It is a reaction to stress and has no physical cause but can mimic movements commonly associated with Tourette's syndrome if it is valid mass hysteria. I remember my entire home ec. class booked a hotel room in town with our ill gotten gains and told our parents that we were staying with Imogene Fo ... Sat, 4 Feb 2012 23:31:22 GMT http://my.greasy.com/fredo/entertaiment.html I came across this letter to the editor and found it to be interesting and want to share this with you.Make sense? Why do people pay for cable or satellite television, newspapers or periodicals, when they can get all the information, news, drama, crime, comedy and stupidity about the human condition for a fraction of the cost by watching politicians on the internet? On Jan. 29, a philandering, former presidential candidate endorsed another philandering candidate to be the Republican candid ... Sat, 4 Feb 2012 20:59:33 GMT http://my.greasy.com/jondude/tarnation_.html How come nobody says that anymore? And what was a 'tarnation,' anyway? Around here a common surprise remark is "My Land!" Occasionally you will hear the old "My Gosh!" I think the latter was an attempt to cover up the blasphemous "My God!" You never hear 'Blasphemy' any more, either. I suppose what is blasphemous to you may be proper form to others. I have a fondness for saying "See you," as a parting salute. It is the short version of the old "I'll be seeing you." The central character in ... Sat, 4 Feb 2012 18:42:17 GMT http://my.greasy.com/teacherwoman/lawyer_senior__read_thi.html A lawyer and a senior citizen are sitting next to each other on a long flight. The lawyer is thinking that seniors are so dumb that he could get one over on them easily. So, the lawyer asks if the senior would like to play a fun game. The senior is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists, saying that the game is a lot of fun...."I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5.00. Then you ask ... Sat, 4 Feb 2012 14:15:37 GMT http://my.greasy.com/honeybugg/snow_snow_mo_snow.html TGIF, blog pals: Well, if yer watchin' the Weather Chanel you've heard of the big snow "event" in the Denver area. We got a taste here in Cow Snot as we are about an hour and a half from the mile high city. My best estimate is we've got 5-6 inches out there now.(Joke: Why would Lorena Bobbitt make a good weather forcaster? When she sez there's six inches on the ground, you can believe her. har har har). We're 'asposed to get more sometime, either tonight or tomorrow. It's really making up ... Fri, 3 Feb 2012 23:52:52 GMT http://my.greasy.com/fredo/ready_this.html For some Thank Goodness it is Friday. For me just another day.LOL. Would you believe my daughter insulted me on Facebook? Remember the picture of this child with his middle finger saying that the NY Giant sucks. Are you ready for this? I checked this out and this is her response. If he does not liked it too bad bite me. Bite me.You can bet that I was angry about this and send her an email. She is not a young woman as she approached in her late fifties. Yes,I was angry and told her so for t ... Fri, 3 Feb 2012 21:29:06 GMT http://my.greasy.com/kristilyn3/thought_jeri_.html When I saw these today... I never knew what they were, but now I do. I see them all the time while I am out and about during the day walking puppies. They are annoying little things! They appear to be sort of sharp, although I never touched one. We are having some people over for a Superbowl party on Sunday, should be a good time. I am not overly concerned about who wins, but since the Giants beat my Packers, I kind of hope they go all the way (Sorry Fredo)... but the people will make the ...
