Things That Make You Go HMMMMM - - #15

I love Facebook.  It's quite the insight to a lot of things.  It brings people together.  It let's you know who the whack jobs are.  It brings you back to people you haven't seen nor heard from in a very long time - I connected with the girl who used to live next door to me - we grew up together until we were about 11 years old and then when she moved away, we really never saw each other much after that.  I've got cousins as friends, my sisters, my sister in law, friends,Teds brothers and sisters, work friends, sweepstakes friends, school friends, nieces, nephews, grand nieces, grand nephews, a grandson and of course my kids and their spouses!!  Let me just add here the friends I have made from gaining a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law, by becoming lifelong friends with their parents.
Right now, it makes me a bit insane - because the political crap that is posted CONSTANTLY just gets on my nerves.  I don't even care what side it's coming from, its all BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH anymore.  I know who I am voting for, it's my right, it's my responsibility and I take it seriously.   I don't really want to hear why or why not you like my candidate, why you don't like my candidate.  I can make that decision for myself.  But that is neither here nor there - the wonderful thing about this amazing country is it's my right to go BLAH BLAH BLAH at your posting constant messages for and against a candidate - but, it's also your right to post them.

Facebook stalking is quite a past time.  There is this little feed to the right side of my Facebook page that says, so and so liked so and so's status, so and so liked such and such's picture, such and such commented on so and so's status - and the beat goes on.  When you see them click, click, clicking down that feed, you kind of hover over what it is and you get a little insight to their soul; what do they like, what do they have to say about this, that and the other, who they really are.  However, there are those times that you see stuff that you don't really want to know about - those things that make your eyes go wide and you kind of want to know how to reverse your brain.  


HMMMMMMM - - think I'll mind my own business and go back to my slot machine, Words With Friends and Bingo.

P.S.  By the way - this is my 200th post on this blog.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!  :)

    So, us parents of sons-and-daughters-in-law are not that important to mention. (opps maybe that is a good thing to be under the radar B^)

Happy Birthday Me!!

I turned 49 a year ago tomorrow.  I was all right with that.  I didn't really care.  But, about a couple of months after that, I realized that in less than a year I would be 50.  When my daughter turned 30, it really was a horrible feeling.  How could I have a 30-year-old daughter??  I am not old enough to have a 30-year-old daughter.  I also had to deal with my baby boy getting married last year - which made me feel like I really was getting older. I think it was after Crystal's birthday that I devised a plan.  I was going to take a couple of days off, I was going to get a hotel room - a hotel with a pool - and I was just going to hide out and ride it out.  I had it all figured out. Well, I decided that my kids might be a bit upset with me that I did this.  So, I went back to Plan B - I would do my usual and plan a "kids" birthday for me so that the entire family, including Zach and Chelsea, could have a good time.  I thought of going to Planet Play and setti

The Haunting

It's been a weird few days. I don't know what set me off. But, I've been thinking about Ted a lot. Mostly, I've been thinking about the night he died. And everything that happened that night. One of the girls I worked with lost her husband suddenly a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if that's what set me off - no, I'm pretty sure it is. So I've been going through old blog posts about our trips together. Looking at memories of our times together. We just had fun together and we just loved each other. Anyway, I've been reliving the night he died. Thinking about it pretty consistently. And the things that happened are truly haunting me. Like, how did he get where he was?? He and I had been sitting together and had literally just had an interaction. The interaction was, please sit back, you're blocking my view of the movie. And it was all done in hand gestures. But it was just so Ted. Completely and totally so Ted. Not even a few

First Date - - End of an Era!

It's no secret that Ted and I met on the internet. We jibbered and jabbered via Match.Com a few times and then he sent me his phone number. We won't go into details about what made me give him a call, other than I was in need of a boost. I gave him a call and he was "busy" for a bit working on his carbuerator (yes, I was shunned aside for a carbuerator) and he asked if he could call me back later. Well, he did call me later that night and we made arrangements to meet at Denny's on 3500 South and 2200 West the next afternoon. No, it wasn't a four-star restaurant, but it was a way for either of us to run or make excuses if things were not going well. We sat there for a few hours; I drank Diet Coke and Ted drank Iced Tea. We talked, mostly Ted talked, about stuff I had absolutely no clue about; I tease him a lot about everything he says pretty much floats above my head, because I have no idea what he is talking about. That was October 10, 2004. After a w
