Friends &Cheeze-Old Post
More Friends and More Cheeze
I want to send you to claimslady3's blog. She works at WalMart and hates what is going on there. Evidently since old Sam died everything has been going downhill. I have been hearing a lot about unhappy WalMart workers. She has a husband and a grandchild that she watches and loves a whole lot. That is what we have in common. I love it when someone rants and does it well and you have to go read through her stuff to get the full appreciation of a Carolyn rant. I went to her Wednesday blog and her first paragraph had me rolling on the floor. I just can't wait to hear what comes out of her mouth next. She gets on her husband and he blogs so he comments on her comments about him and tells her he still loves her. Every day stuff people is what makes the world go round and this woman is keeping it rolling in high gear.
I had to laugh at the beautiful Cricket's blog. Mother of three, one older, two younger. She just started working so she is trying to get the new schedule down. Her husband is a trucker and they have a really happy family. She tells about her family and has done a great "Finding Your Voice", and You Oughta Know. They are in her highlighted posts. She lives in Michigan and has been getting the same storms I know several of you have gone through. She just recently went to the Ogemaw Hills bike Rally. Sounds like she partied down. A very thoughtful woman.
She had to take her vacuum apart and found some really big stuff in it that the teen sucked up. Most of us said at least he is doing something.
About once a month I have to turn my vac upside down and cut the long, red, hair off the brush. The first time it was acting up, I turned it over and could have sworn I sucked up a Pomeranian puppy.
I chased my son around with the broom one time (outside) because he was irritating me as only older teens can and my neighbors two acres away told me they heard me. Of course that was a one time deal (do you believe that?) so they were laughing. The older teen girl would get a shot of adrenaline sometimes and even start dinner and pick up. Must have been the drugs. (I know what you are thinking, her or me) We all go through our trials and tribulations though and most of us are fortunate to live to tell about it.
Ok you guys know I don't do much cheese but I promised this to Shannon a long time ago so here goes.
Here is Bernard Pivot's questionnaire--post from Shannon's blog.
01. What is your favorite word? I love words. I collect them so I don't have any favorites but I like...
hirsute-covered with hair, conurbation-a continuous network of urban communities, fealty-intense fidelity, paranomasia-a play on words, festinate-hasty, palaver-idle talk, just to name a few.
That is why I love thePickle so much. She is such a wordmonger.
02. What is your least favorite word? vagina
03. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? Art, in most forms. I especially love pottery, paintings, old architecture, and now psp
04. What turns you off? Stupidity and jealousy that make people do mean things to others
05. What is your favorite curse word? I can't pick just one. Yes, I like them all, but never use them around small children. I use "Well, Crap" a lot.
06. What sound or noise do you love? The ocean and the white noise of a fan at night, children laughing is a good one too
07. What sound or noise do you hate? Irritable, crabby, men
08. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Potter, photography
09. What profession would you not like to do? Roto Rooter
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? Admit one, or Surprise! You get to go back.
A couple of weird things about me that you probably don't know.
I like onion sandwiches. I started this when we were in Georgia and you could just get tons of sweet Vidalia Onions. Butter on each slice of bread, thin sliced onions, a little vinegar, and salt and pepper.
I can't stand shelf paper, I think it is a waste of money and you have to replace it. Putting it on is a bitch! You do not know how bad I hate this stuff. You should see me put on contact paper. At least that stays on awhile.
I have three or four pair of reading glasses all in different strengths because I refuse to go to the eye dr. Sometimes I have to put two pair on at once to read a map. That is really cute. MrP likes that a lot. Especially when someone drives up next to us and stares.
I have road rage. I have to remember when someone is in the car with me to be nice. Oklahoma drivers are the worst in the world. They are either driving 45 in the passing lane or driving 90 on the shoulder or your butt trying to get around you.
I smoke, I have quit 6 times in the last 10 years for 3 or 4 months at a time, but can't get past that 4th month. But hey, that is at least a year or so more I am going to live. Now I just buy a pack at a time so I smoke less than I ever have.
I have to congratulate D Deuce for quitting cold turkey. Way to go. Keep up the good work. He also had a really funny blog today. I tell you I am blessed with so many friends on 360, I marvel at the fact every day that you are becoming a part of my daily routine.

Thanks for playing Red, you're a good sport! I hope you enjoyed it. I like blog cheese like that because it allows me to get to know everybody--get to know things that people don't really share about themselves! As for your blast response, I'm late because I don't have regular access to the internet, and I always have to go to the library to get it which is a pain in the ass! I hate my computer! I'm the only one on the planet who still uses windows '98 with which the internet is so not compatible! I know, I know... I need to get a new computer. Beggars can't be choosers, though. We got it for free from my husband's grandfather.

Oh my gosh Cricket! I don't know how you survive. Talk to me ten years from now. I can't wait. Hope you are still blogging.Well, you would Yardy. You might as well make a chain and hang that camera around your neck. lolYou're welcome Shannon. I just gave my 98 to oggie not long ago. She can't get it to work now but I had that for about 10 years and put all kinds of stuff on it. I really liked it. Good to see you back. I will catch up with you in the am.

Well at least you have tried to quit smoking and made it to 3 months. Most people cannot make it past a week. There is still luck for you in the future. ha ha- I had no idea D Deuce had quit, nor did I know he smoked. Good for him- that's a tough thing to do! My husband tells me in South Carolina that got the crazy truckers out there that honk at you if your not doing 90- they try to run ya off the road. While here in Michigan everyone is so impatient. I hear Hawaaii is really laid back and easy. But what r u gonna do! hehe. My father in law eats those onion sandwhiches all the time. The Georgia sweet. He could eat a whole sack of them if he wanted. I never seen someone eat so many onions. ah ha ha- take care~

Well, all the roads are clogged now because the people running Tulsa never have the foresite to build the roads to keep up with the volume of traffic. I am just ashamed of our medians the way they let them grow up and the city streets. Someone is getting rich off all those taxes.
