258 BRICKS TO GO--- LOVE ALL THOSE NEW NAMES !!!!
SPEAKING OF SLVER THREADS AMONG THE GOLD..... IT TOOK A WHILE TO GET MY HAIR FLATTENED DOWN AFTER YESTERDAY'S MAIL CALL. IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE HAD GLUED STEEL WOOL TO MY HEAD. AND I WAS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE EARLENE, BUT I REQALLY LOOKED LIKE I'D BEEN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
SOMEONE ASKED WHAT WAS THE LAST TIME I HAD BEEN TO A BEAUTY SALON -- IT MUST HAVE BEEN FOR MY SISTER'S WEDDING - BACK WHEN I WAS COLLEGE ??1957,8 ???
AMAZING PART..... SHELIA AND I WERE IN DANVERS MASS- AND THERE WERE A HALF DOZEN HAIRDRESSERS-- SHE CALLED ONE at random AND MADE AN APPOINTTMENT TO HAVE ME DONE UP FOR MAIL CALL-- WE GOT THERE AND THERE WAS JANINE'S BOOK DOGS, DONKEYS AND CIRCUS PERFORMERS-- An autographed copy yet....!
SO I GOT FLUFFED... BIG TIME... I THINK IT WAS CAUSED BECAUSE I ONCE CALLED SHEILA MY "FLUFFY HAIRED FRIEND"
AT ANY RATE --- ON TO THE NEXT..
************
SO LAST NIGHT I COULD NOT SLEEP-- PER USUAL-- AND TURNED ON CNN HOPING TO CATCH THE NEW MIKE XXXXX SHOW ( DIRTY JOBS GUY)- NO LUCK
BUT I DID RUN INTO AN INTERVEIW OF CHARLES BARKLEY ( I THINK) AND I WAS IMPRESSED
I HAVEN'T A CLUE WHO HE IS -- OR IF HE IS RUNNING FOR ANYTHING- BUT HE KEPT QUOTING HIS GRANDMOTHER-- AT 1:30 AM I MAY HAVE BEEN MORE IMPRESSIONABLE THAN NORMALLY BUT ONE STUCK--" JUST BECAUSE HE IS BLACK DOES NOT MEAN HE IS WRONG AND JUST BECAUSE HE IS WHITE DOES NOT MEAN HE IS RIGHT."-- WHICH THEN TURNED INTO "JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE REPUBLICANS DOES NOT.... ETC....."
I PREFER TO REMAIN APOLITICAL- BUT I COULD NOT HELP ADMIRING HIS GRANDMOTHER-- AND THEN WONDERED WHY GRANDMA WAS SUCH AN INFLUENCE IN HIS LIFE--- MORE THAN GRANDPA??? WHICH GOT ME TO THIINKING........ALWAYS TROUBLE.
WHY DID HIS FAMILY STRUCTURE GO BACK TO GRANDMA-- WHERE WAS MOM AND DAD...?
..I WONDERED IF IT WAS A CASE OF MOM GOING BACK TO WORK -SO GRANDMA FILLS IN ON THE HOME FRONT...AS IS SOOOO OFTEN THE CASE NOW.... WITH EARLENE'S HAIRDOO- I SAW HER STAYING HOME TO CARE FOR THE GRANDCHILD INSTEAD OF CHAOS.. DAMMIT
WHICH GOT ME GOING ON BROADWAY MISIC ---RELIGION, ---THE AKC AND DNA. IN ABOUT THAT ORDER . IT IS A THIN LINE....
ONE OF OUR BEST WORKERS IS HAVING A BABY IN FEB- SO OF COURSE HAD TO QUIT THE JOB SHE LOVED-- AND WAS GOOD AT. DAMMIT----
WHICH GOT ME TO....
THE BROADWAY MUSICAL LINE.. "REMEMBER IT IS HE WHO HAS THE FUN AND THEE THE BABY"...
WHICH GOT ME AIMED AT
OLDTYME RELIGION WHICH OUTLAWED DIVORCE ENTIRELY---TRIED FOR MANY YEARS TO KEEP FATHERS AND MOTHERS BOTH RAISING THIER CHILDREN... AND WHEN THAT DIDN'T WORK THE FATHERS WERE ALLOWED ---FOR A LONG TIME --TO WANDER OFF--- SCOTT FREE...
THEN CHILD SUPPORT CAME INTO OUR LEGAL TERMONOLOGY- AND THAT IS BETTER THAN NOTHING... BUT....
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE PATERNITY OF EVERY CHILD BORN IN THE US WAS DETERMINED AT BIRTH-- BY DNA AND BY LAW--- AND THE SIRE WAS REQUIRED TO SUPPORT THAT CHILD UNTIL 18 YEARS OLD. AS THE MOTHER OFTEN DOES.
THE DNA MAKES IT POSSIBLE-- EVEN IN THE MOST EXTREME CASES---
THE PERCENTAGE OF MALES IN CONGRESS WOULD NEVER GO FOR IT...
AND......IT WOULD IN A FEW CASES BE VERY INTERESTING....
LIKE....UPSETTING TO A MARRIAGE...
OR...IT WOULD PUT A DAMPER ON THE WOMAN WHO HAS 8 CHILDREN AND SAYS " THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME FATHER IN HEAVEN"
OR I WOULD HAVE A CURE FOR THE GUY WHO HAS 8 KIDS WITH 6 DIFFERENT WOMEN..
I HAVE BEEN A FARMER TOO LONG TO PUT UP WITH A MALE ANIMAL THAT IS OUT OF CONTROL...
***********
THERE ARE NATURAL CURES FOR ALOT OF PROBLEMS... I WAS JUST MADE AWARE OF THE DIFFERENCE IN THE IRAQ WAR BETWEEN PLANTING TIME AND GROWING. WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT-- EATING OR FIGHTING?
AND IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WELL BEHAVED YANKEE CHILDREN AND STONE WALLS..??? NO HYPERACTIVE HERE-- GO ROLL ROCKS INTO A LINE IN THE WOODS.
****************
NOW HAVE I MANAGED TO OFFEND ENOUGH PEOPLE FOR THE DAY?
I BETTER QUIT---
