Where Are All The Young People ?

I flew to NYC with US Air and back to Charlotte this week. I won't go into details of my experience getting to NYC. Coming back went much better. My one observation of the entire flight experience is why are all the stewards and stewardess so old? Are there no young people being hired? All the people I saw were at least my age or older. Most of the women had the middle age spread and baggy eyes. Hardly any one looked happy. Maybe the NYC flight is a golden ring that only years of service entitles you to that flight. But when you are tired looking at yourself just makes you more tired.

Use Care With Your Votes

I know now why Mark Sanford is still in office. The Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer would be governor. I had heard rumors he was unfit but he did get elected Lt. Gov. right? Well now Andre is running for governor of South Carolina. This is from his speech regarding public assistance. "My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better." I do believe that man has never know anything but an ample food supply. And surely he loves to practice breeding.I guess he considers these practices only for certain people. When and how will he determine which people don't deserve an ample food supply or the act of breeding? Unfortunately I did read a letter to the editor at The Charlotte Observer that agreed wholeheartedly with this statement. Ironically I am reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and Hilter had the same philosophy. I know lots of South Carolinian's are die hard Republicans but sometimes you have to choose between the lesser of the two evils. I don't even know who Andre is running against but you can bet your pants that person would have my vote.

A Fairy Tale

Once upon a time there was The Evil One. She was so evil that it marred her physical appearance and her soul. Her face was distorted with ugliness and ugliness lived in her body. Her only recourse was to entice males with her sexual prowess. After many males and years she captured a submissive gullible mate. The marriage was swift mainly because of the baby in The Evil One's belly. She knew no way to converse with her mate's younger female family members. She ignored them and only spoke to them when her mate and other males were present. When children were born she ignored them as well unless the mate was present. The years progressed. The inner ugliness seeped into her face more and more. The bleached hair grew brittle and thin. The scalp shined through. The face was distorted with so much ugliness that The Evil One looked like an old Mick Jagger with a little Keith Richards thrown in. By now she was nearing sixty years of evil and ugliness. The sexual prowess was ineffectual to men other than her passive mate. She ignored all her mate's family. The ugliness seepage accelerated until one day she was just a big pile of ugly blob. No one mourned except maybe the mate.

The End

Too Busy

I apologize for not keeping more up to date on my blog. I realize there are those of you who are unable to complete your day without reading my great pearls of wisdom. Lately I have been busy getting diagnosed with a new disease - Sjogren's Syndrome. The disease is an autoimmune disease that attack various organs, most notably the glands that produce tears and saliva. I didn't have a disease that began with a "s" so my alphabetical order keeps getting larger. What has devastated me more than that is poor John Edwards. I am so worried about him. Where did he go once Elizabeth threw him out? He could be in Charlotte living with the baby momma. I know he is in knots over the sex tape being released. If it is released I will just watch it to see if his hair moves during sex. I hope he has enough money after his divorce and keeping up the baby momma for his 100.00 haircuts and his hair products. You know when you pay 100.00 for a hair cut you don't wash it in Suave. Jenny Sanford's book is coming out. That hasn't made me lose any sleep like I have for poor old John. Does she think she is writing something new? All women suffer greatly when their husband has an affair. But we have to realize that most don't have an idiot for a husband like Mark Sanford. Thank God she had the money.

Fabric Purchases

I am headed to the Myrtle Beach Quilt Party. May my fabric purchases equal the dollar bills stuffed in G-strings by my husband on his golf outing in Myrtle Beach in March.
Amen.

Myrtle Beach Quilt Party

I have been preparing for my quilting retreat this week since Thanksgiving. Cutting fabric,buying supplies,sewing fabric,tracing patterns. I got so tired that my rest periods lasted longer than my work periods. Then I started stressing because some pieces weren't cut the exact measurements they should be. Then I stressed about still not knowing all the workings of my new sewing machine.Then I stressed about tracing my applique on the right side of the paper. My daughter and husband both said "How can you stress out about a retreat?" That is true but remember the spiritual retreat in Arizona where people died in the smoke house. Maybe those people should have stressed a little about being smoked like bacon and got out of the hut. I digress. Any way I quit stressing about the retreat. I am going to learn more quilting techniques and laugh with my girlfriends. I have a nice suite with a great friend. There is a free happy hour every night. Life is too short for me to be perfect in everything. I just wish I knew that years ago.

Teddy Pendergrass

Teddy Pendergrass passed away last week. That was sad news for me. I love his music. I danced to his songs lots. He got you in the mood. I am sure lots of babies were born because of Teddy. Thank you Teddy for making me happy with your music. I hope you are singing away in heaven.
