Then again.....

maybe I just need to eat more donuts....

Sorry but I'm a bit busy....

God, Give us the grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed, Courage
to change the things which should be changed,
And the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

Much too much, against my will I've had an alcoholic fall into my lap just as her life is falling apart. So far we've been though job loss, denial, transference, lying and theft.

Lord knows, and anyone that knows me, will tell you that if you ever find yourself in the position of having to rely on the kindness of ilduce to get by, things are much more dire than you could possibly imagine.

Hopefully I'll be getting my sense of humor back and posting sometime soon.

Why don't some of my best friends tell me these things?

No wonder I can't find a man, no one told me to look for a Bultaco first. I've been wasting my time hanging out in non-Bultaco biker bars......

Ummm, .......Bultaco????

It's a running theme.......

Now that I've got the intro to Good times" out of my head, the theme to "Maude" has settled in. Not that it's a bad thing.......

Not the lecture I need to hear...

After having imbibed last night......

Maybe it's the continual endorphin high from all the working out.....

Or possible some reverse spring fever brought on by the change over to Autumn, but DESPITE my recent reminder that all men are lying scheming pond scum, I can't seem to cut the "hope" out of my system. I am constantly finding myself flirting, smiling, and making eye contact against my will. While it's definitely increasing my tips, I am not sure I am fully on board with where it may lead. WTF?????

I am comfortable with bitter. Bitter is where I live. What am I supposed to do with this mess????

I was looking for a video of the Andrews Sisters performing "Bei mir bist du schon"....

But this looked too good to pass up.

Maybe Jason's right...

I also did not realize that Ja’Net Dubois (Wilona Evans) wrote and helped sing the theme song "Good times".

Yet another memory.

And a little too close for comfort at the moment! The unemployment shirt is starting to chafe.......

Thank TJB for the memory

And just where is Debralee Scott these days?

It's not personal, but.......

It seems that Match.com has caught on that I had been locked into a ridiculously low rate for the past  few years, thus making it unnecessary to cancel my personal ad with them. Aaah that bored afternoon when I composed it many years ago! Oh such a hopeful endeavor! My little ever hopeful heart thinking that actual dates might result.

Several thousand "views", many random, and often incredibly misspelled or very oddly worded, email conversations(mostly with agoraphobics or liars), and yes even a few actual in person BAD dates later, Match.com is trying to raise their subscription rates.

I'm not sorry to say that even the entertainment factor they might have offered isn't worth the price in my unemployed budget. Besides, as I've recently discovered, as old fashioned an idea as it may seem, you CAN still pick up men in bars these days. Who knew?

So take a last look fellas, I may as well bring my viewing numbers up before it closes:

Stirred, Straight Up, with a Twist.: Weekly Feature #7

Kindred spirits.

We had a date last night where our companion brought up the old Mary Tyler Moore spin off series "Phyllis". It was the first time we heard the show mentioned in live conversation rather than online in our little "Fabulon" circle.

We've taken it as a very good sign!!!!!!

Sorry I'm not home...

But I've been inundated with waitering shifts this week. Please leave a detailed message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Love ya!

Mean it!

I would constantly ask this question, apropos of nothing, while at work. Surprisingly (or not, I worked in a office full of middle aged lily white librarians) no one ever got the answer right..

Which one are you?

To quote Grover.....

Tickling is also exercise.
And who doesn't like a little slap and tickle........

Gin!

It's what's for dinner....

Gratuitous flesh....

We took a a few assessment shots at the gym yesterday. I'm very happy to say, that after several years of hard work, I am finally beginning to see the size and definition I've been striving for!

Bo and Luke Duke

As far as I'm concerned the entire crux of the show is captured in this little montage,a t lest the entire reason that I was watching it as an impressionable youth......

Jenny Piccolo

Just sayin'.........

Gwen Guthrie - Ain't Nothing Going On But The Rent
