My Statement

"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman

All Blown Out...

Gone with the wind...I wish the wind would be gone, already.  I spent today medicated to cope.  I have felt better.  It was not a fun day trying to get a few brain cells to work.

Went to an HOA meeting tonight about the "leap in your face" blue shutter that someone painted in the neighborhood. It was interesting.


Also interesting was the change of Prime Minister in England.  It certainly was smoother than I expected.



These are real standing laws from around the United States of America.

You are not allowed to walk across a street on your hands.

A special law prohibits unmarried women from parachuting on Sunday or she shall risk arrest, fine, and/or jailing.

Biting someone with your natural teeth is "simple assault," while biting someone with your false teeth is "aggravated assault."

Snoring is prohibited unless all bedroom windows are closed and securely locked.

An old ordinance declares goatees illegal unless you first pay a special license fee for the privilege of wearing one in public. 




Bumper stickers for the rest of us

Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines

Early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese 

I'm not cheap, but I am on special this week 

I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she left me before we met 

I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol 

I intend to live forever - so far, so good

I love defenseless animals, especially in a good gravy

If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

Mental backup in progress - Do Not Disturb!

Mind Like A Steel Trap - Rusty And Illegal In 37 States

The only substitute for good manners is fast reflexes.

When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
