Red Light Scam

A new scam is being pulled mainly on women who are past the age of giving a running pursuit. What happens is that when the intended victim stops at a red light, an almost NUDE, good looking, tanned, muscled young man comes up to her car and pretends to wash the windshield.

While he is doing this, another young, handsome athletic man opens the back door of the car, jumps inand insists the woman drive off with him to some lonely spot, where he has "his way" with her. They are very good at this.

They got me twice Friday and four times Saturday.

I couldn't find them on Sunday.

I was just thinkin'...

I know. It's hard for you to imagine me thinkin' but I do it ocassionally. I've been thinkin' about someone that I lost a long time ago and how I miss him. Then, I decided to look at the Black-Eyes, Bruises, Bloody-Nose and Choke Marks photo album and decided....NAW! What the fuck was I thinkin'? I don't miss the beatings at all!!!

Sister's talk

Sister K and I have been discussing going down to Corpus Christi to see JB&S www.thestragglers.com on Wednesday night and returning that night. I know that it's only a little over 200 miles but when you get out of bed at 7:00 AM, go to work until noon, drive to Corpus Christi and back, we're talking about a long day. Anyway, we both had heard that this show might sell out since it will be the first show that he'll be back since his little "vacation" and thought that it would be best if we purchased the tickets in advance. A call was made to the Executive Surf Club http://www.executivesurfclub.com/ yesterday and Sister K was told that they didn't have tickets yet...call back tomorrow. The below is an excerpt of our conversation that followed purchasing tickets:

Me: have you called them yet to order a ticket?

Sister K: I just called them and they are 11.00 ea. I got both of us a ticket - the place is right around the corner from the surf club - she said there is a woody out in front (i started giggling) - just come by and pick them up. They will be open - some how affiliated with the surf club????

Me: I don't know I'll recognize a woody if I see one...

Sister K: that's funny - what time do you get off tomorrow?

Me: I just now snapped to what kind of a woody the girl could be talking about...duh. Maybe a jeep?

Sister K: uh, yeah! with wooden side panels....

Me: noon...leaving here & going to the bank to deposit my check & then going home.

Sister K: okay, I'll leave about the same time - I'll have to go home and change clothes and I'll meet you down at mom's!!!

Granted, I'm a bit naive some times but the part about the "woody" is true. I couldn't imagine what kind of landmark we'd be looking for...the real kicker is when Sister K told Mama R what are plan is, (to drive to CC & back in 1 night) she said "been there, done that." It would seem history is repeating itself, generation after generation. And now the countdown is on...less than 24 hours til we head out for Corpus Christi and I can hardly stand it. Wish me luck and a safe trip!!!

How You Live Your Life

How You Live Your Life

You seem to be straight forward, but you keep a lot inside.
You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think.
You prefer a variety of friends and tend to change friends quickly.
Some of your past dreams have disappointed you, but you don't let it get you down.
This is so true it's scary...

If Your Life Was a Movie, What Genre Would It Be?

The Movie Of Your Life Is A Cult Classic

Quirky, offbeat, and even a little campy - your life appeals to a select few.
But if someone's obsessed with you, look out! Your fans are downright freaky.

Your best movie matches: Office Space, Showgirls, The Big Lebowski

What Mixed Drink Are You?

You Are an Appletini

Most of the time, you're a typical party girl / guy.
But when you get super sauced, you really up your sex appeal.

I Miss the Old Days...

I miss you... I miss the old days... Can we please smoke the peace pipe together after the show?

42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness? Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie. They are: Monday = Blue, Tuesday = Green, Thursday = Red Friday = White and Saturday = Yellow. So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color Blue Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.

A few good laughs....

WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST; She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee. Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box. Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week. Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl. And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.
WOMEN'S REVENGE; "Cash, check or charge?" I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. "So, do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked. "No," she replied, " but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally."
UNDERSTANDING WOMEN; (A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE) I know I'm not going to understand women. I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax pour it onto your upper thigh,rip the hair out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider.
MARRIAGE SEMINAR; While attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with communication, Tom and his wife Grace listened to the instructor, "It is essential that husbands and wives know each other's likes and dislikes." He addressed the man, "Can you name your wife's favorite flower?" Tom leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and whispered, "It's Pillsbury, isn't it? The rest of the story gets rather ugly, so I'll stop right here.
CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS; A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up and down the aisles. The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him. He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife. She directs him down the correct aisle. A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter. She says, confused, "Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife? He answers, " You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carto n of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers; cause it's sooo-ooo-! -oo-ooo much cheaper. So, I figure if I have to roll my own ............ so does she. ( I figure this guy is the one on the milk carton! )
WIFE VS. HUSBAND; A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?" "Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."
COMMUNICATION; A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men... The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"

CREATION; A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time. " The wife responded, "Allow me to explain. God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!"
WHO DOES WHAT; A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee." The husband said, " You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee." Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee." Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me." So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says.........."HEBREWS"
THE SILENT TREATMENT; A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM ." He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00AM. Wake up."Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

~Halloween Joke~

A black man and his wife were going to a Halloween party in a couple of days.
So the husband tells his wife to go to the store and get costumes for them to wear.
When he comes home that night he goes into the bedroom and there laid out on the bed is a Superman costume.
The husband yells at his wife, "What are you doing?Have you ever heard of a black Superman?Take this back and get me something else I can wear."
The next day the wife, not too happy, returns the costume and gets a replacement.
The Husband comes home from work goes to the bedroom, and there, laid out on the bed, is a Batman costume.He again yells at his wife, "What are you doing?Have you ever heard of a black Batman?Take this back and get me something I can wear to the costume party!"
The next morning his irate wife goes shopping. When the husband comes home again from work, there laid out on the bed are three items: one is a set of three white buttons, the second is a thick white belt, and the third item is a 2 x 4.
The husband yells at the wife, "What the hell are these for?"
The wife yells back, "Take your clothes off. You can put the three white buttons on the front of you and go as a domino. If you don't like that one, you can put the white belt on and go as an Oreo. And if you don't like THAT one, you can stick the 2 x 4 up your ass and go as a fudgesicle."
