he’d be lighting up a celebratory stogie…
Congrats, C’s! Keep the Celtic pride proud…bring home banner #17!
What a bunch of flakes!
Speaking of selling stuff on E-bay…right out of the “weird stuff on E-bay column” comes two sisters who are attempting to sell a Kellogg’s Frosted Flake that looks like the state of Illinois. Sure, why not? People have tried to sell potato ships that look like Hawaii, a piece of cheese that looks like Florida, lint that formed to shape the state of Texas. Why not a Frosted Flake?
Of course E-bay pulled the auction because you can’t sell food on E-bay. So now the two have re-listed the auction, selling the Flake as a “coupon”, which entitles you to the flake. And bidding is up to $255.00. Well, that doesn’t surprise me. Everybody needs a Frosted Flake shaped like the state of Illinois!
Now I’m going to skim through my box of Total to see if I can find one that looks like George Washington’s head….

Getting a divorce? Why not sell your life on E-bay?
That’s just what this gentleman in Perth is planning to do in June. He is recently divorced and apparently has no need for all the toys that he has: a spa, a motorbike, jetski, $400,000 house, car, big screen TV; the package includes a two week stint at the carpet shop where he works and an intro to his friends. It does not include his name.
“This is part of cleaning out the old and on with the new,” the seller named Ian states. Someone best for buying the auction would be an individual with an adventurous spirit, as that is what Ian is like.
I wonder what the bidding will start at? I could use an adventurous life….

Prescription drugs in our water? Then we should be the healthiest nation around!
It seems that in doing some testing, drugs from sex hormones to Viagra have been found in America’s drinking water.
On the surface, this does seem kind of scary; however, the Associated Press investigation states that the drugs have been found in miniscule quantities. Phew! That makes me feel a WHOLE lot better!
I’m more concerned with how these drugs got there in the first place–through waste water. Guess all the contaminants aren’t getting out in the plants. And bottled water isn’t any safer (nor are the plastic bottles safe for the environment).
Here are just a few of the drugs found in the water and their locations:
anti-anxiety medications were detected in a portion of the treated drinking water for 18.5 million people in Southern California. – well, it IS California
Researchers at the U.S. Geological Survey analyzed a Passaic Valley Water Commissiondrinking water treatment plant, which serves 850,000 people in Northern New Jersey, and found a metabolized angina medicine and the mood-stabilizing carbamazepine in drinking water.- nothing against New Jersey, but considering that there are allegedly seven smells of New Jersey, I’m surprised this is all they found in the drinking water
A sex hormone was detected in San Francisco‘s drinking water. – well, it IS San Francisco…need I say more?
The drinking water for Washington, D.C., and surrounding areas tested positive for six pharmaceuticals – you know how much those politicians lobby for the drug companies–it doesn’t shock me to find results of it in the water!
I’m not trying to make light of what could potentially be a very dangerous situation. Okay, so traces of prescription drugs have been found in America’s water supply. So have all kinds of bacteria and harmful chemicals. For years. One wrong move at the water treatment plant and a whole town’s water supply can be harmed. It happened not too long ago in a neighboring town of mine. What difference does it make if we drink a few regenerated Tylenols or Zolofts now and then?

Dear dog and cat
Dear Dog and Cat:
The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The
other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw
print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for
it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically
pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack.
Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn’t help
because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry
about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to
ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball
when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each
other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that
sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other
end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If
by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it
is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, and try to turn the knob or
get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must
exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the
bathroom for years — canine or feline attendance is not required.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat’s
butt. I cannot stress this enough!
To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on
our front door:
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1 They live here. You don’t.
2. If you don’ t want their hair on your clothes, stay off the
furniture. (That’s why they call it ‘fur’nature.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it’s an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter
who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn’t speak clearly.
Remember: In many ways, dogs and cats are better than kids because
they:
1. Eat less
2. Don’t ask for money all the time
3. Are easier to train
4. Normally come when called
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don’t hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don’t smoke or drink
8. Don’t have to buy the latest fashions
9. Don’t want to wear your clothes
10. Don’t need a ‘gazillion’ dollars for college.
And finally,
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children.
