I Hanker for a Hunk o' .......

How sad is it that I can't remember most of the history I learned in grammer school OR high school (don't even mention algebraic eqations) yet, I can quote this whole song verbatim 33 years past childhood?

Beware of Sleestak

I admit to being very non-plussed after having discovered they've made a move version of "Land of the Lost". Is nothing sacred?????

I will also admit that the sleestak gave me the heebie jeebies for years.

"Must Have" art work!


Despite the kid's facial expression, and the fact that the candies are probably made out of transparent rubber and will taste like old erasers, I LOVE the colors in this ad and long for a framed print to hang in my kitchen. So there!

Anniversaries and a step forward.


May 16th marks a year since I created this blog. May 28th marks a year since I signed settlement papers ridding myself forever of 250 pounds of ugly fat. My life has gotten a whole lot better for both events. To all of you out there who have read and commented, K-A, Jason, TJB, Michael, Mr. Peenee, David, Scooter and i'm awake I'm so glad to have found all of you, if only online! Norma, of course you and I knew each from pretty much our anniversaries of being on this planet so we've got the best of both worlds!
This Sunday May 16th a lovely woman named Earlene, with an equally lovely dog(Cleo) will be moving into my two vacant rooms. This will allow me to survive financially, especially in light of the fact that I've been laid off. This will also force me out of my self imposed curmudgeonly loner lifestyle. A little more (live) human interaction can only be good for my soul.

Two missteps away from the home....


Alrighty, so I came home from lunch with the lovely Norma, put my kettle on for some green tea and then became engrossed in updating my resume online (I am still unemployed after all) 40 minutes later I wander down to my kitchen to encounter an odd smell and suddenly wonder why the flames underneath the kettle are green?!? Fully realizing that this is not a good sign I turn the burner off only to have the spout fall off the kettle! The heat from boiling it dry un-soldered the unit! I didn't think that was within the realm of possibility.
Obviously I need to get a job, I am to unsafe to be puttering around at home!!!! Somebody help me!!!
Oh, and now I'm kettle-less, by the bye.......

The Beautiful and The Damned


Nice 20s style pinup from Jason Butcher, looks like it was ripped from an F Scott Fitgerald cover.
