Have you ever seen one of our Military walking past you and wanted to
convey to them your thanks, but weren't sure how or it felt awkward?
Recently, a gentleman from Seattle created a gesture which could be
used and has started a massive movement to get the word out.
Please everybody take just a moment to watch. This is a great lesson
for the next generations too.... The Gratitude Campaign ...and then
forward it to your family and friends!

Why Is It?
Why is it that if someone tells you that there are a billion stars in the universe, you'll believe him, but if he tells you that a wall has wet paint, you'll have to touch it to be sure?
Why do we press harder on our remote control when we know the batteries are flat?
Deep in the jungle, why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?
If money doesn't grow on trees, then why do banks have branches?
Why is it that people who spend their day sitting down ofter earn more than people who spend their day working on their feet?
Even notice that when you blow in a dog's face he doesn't like it, but when you take him for a ride in the car, he sticks his head out the window?
Why is it that people say they slept like a baby when babies wake up every two hours?

7 Signs You're addicted to Chocolate
1. You consider the little white flags on Hershey's Kisses a sign of surrender.
2. You filled your gourmet pepper mill with fudge sprinkles. (Now I know what to do with my pepper mill.)
3. Hold the ranch-your salad dressing of choice is Hershey's Syrup.
4. You named your children Godiva, Ghiradellie, and Chip.
5. The license plate on your sporty brown coupe reads COCO2DI4. ( I actually looked at a chocolate brown car in the grocery store parking lot once and wondered if I could afford it when I bought mine, it was an Infinity like the Murano, so no)
6. Chocolate never melts in your hands-it doesn't have the time.
7. Your husband affectionately calls you Countess Chocula.

What is Wrong With YOU?
This morning on the radio I heard two women spent the weekend stealing flowers off graves. They caught one of them with a truck full of flowers. What kind of person does that and what were they gonna do with the flowers? When I hear people do things that are bad it makes me wonder why don't they put those thoughts to good use?
Those who were figuring out ways to steal people's checks from the government should figure out ways to put those thoughts to good use, like how to prevent people from being scammed.
I do believe the devil is at work and we need to kick him to the curb.

Lexophiles: Some Will Make You Think
LEXOPHILES (LOVERS OF WORDS):

A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months.
A thief fell and broke his leg in wet cement. He became a hardened criminal.
Thieves who steal corn from a garden could be charged with stalking.

If you take a laptop computer for a run you could jog your memory.
A dentist and a manicurist fought tooth and nail.
A bicycle can't stand alone; it is two tired.
A will is a dead giveaway.

A chicken crossing the road: poultry in motion.
If you don't pay your exorcist you can get repossessed.
With her marriage she got a new name and a dress.
Show me a piano falling down a mine shaft and I'll show you A-flat miner.

Those who get too big for their britches will be exposed in the end.

Wicked
So I saw Wicked over the weekend. It was good, the woman who played Glenda the Good Witch was perfect for the part. The two strong female witches were great. Would I see it again, no. Somehow from all the hype I expected it to wow me like Phantom or Cats but alas it did not. I would say if you can get tickets and not pay a fortune to go cos the talent and stage are worth seeing.
Hope everyone enjoyed a holiday weekend, rained here off and on which meant I got lots done inside instead of the outside work I wanted to do. Oh well.
BTW the yarn harlot turns 40 on June 14th which also happend to coincide with Knit in Public Day so while I am at my niece's graduation I will be knitting in honor of the one and only Yarn Harlot.
And last but not least, thanks to all those who have fought for the freedoms I always take for granted.

American Idol
First of all Congrats to David Cook, I didn't think he was going to win but he skunked little David. Simon's face said it all with the smirk like thank goodness DC is marketable, DA is not.
The show gets worse and worse as they make us sit in agony while old rockers and bad singers wile away the time til the moment we have waited for for 5 months. How old is George MIchael looking and Bryan Adams. I like them both but. I also like Seal but Donna Summers keeps coming on and her 15 minutes of fame is OVER like Paula. Good thing Paula kept the girls in cos they were on the verge of popping when the guy in the white suit sang the you are my brother song. And who were those boys that could not sing, never heard of them, I assume they learned to not sing the same place Miley Cyrus did.
I was hoping Melinda and Bo were singing as I saw them in the audience. I sure hope Carrie had panties on, and I am so sick of her and she has gone Hollywood anorexic.
About the only think I liked about last night's show was DC singing with ZZ Top and Seal singing but not with Syesha and of course DC winning.
Well it is over and So You Think YOu Can Dance starts tonight. I do like that show, this is truly a case of white woman can't dance and am amazed as to how they can.
INteresting the Ford Mustangs went out the door for Hybrids, that is a cheat. But with gas inching towards $4/gallon here I can sort of understand. Hope they don't have to pay taxes on those new cars, DA is still in school and DC will have to tend a lot of bar.

American Idol
Another beautiful sunrise with a ball of orange amidst the pinks/yellows/orange colors against a pale blue sky. Makes for a great drive to work.
Can we get any hammier on Idol than this season, what was with the Rocky and fighting stuff. When Simon said you should hate your competition David Cook said no he could not hate David A. It was obvious DA came to win last night, he was good. DC was off, was it his brother's illness, does he not care if he wins cos he knows he is marketable and will get a deal, or was it nerves. Whatever it was he was not on game at all. His songs were ok for him.
I think DA will win because of how the judges gushed over him and his fan base has nothing to do but sit and text theirselves into oblivion. However DC is the marketable one and will be just fine, perhaps another Daughtry.

Oh Deer
This morning as I was driving to work I saw a doe amble across the community college parking lot. Was she late to class, where was she going, out for a run? It struck me as funny to find a doe running across the college parking lot at 6am.
The sun was beautiful this morning all yellow and orange and I actually had to wear my sunglasses part of the way to work.
So tonight is my TV night, 2 hours of NCIS finale, IDOL last two Davids standing, Dancing with the Stars finale, will gagamuchi win--I hope not, Law and Order SVU and whew my dvr will be spinning.
Which David wins, does it matter for David Cook, while i like David A, is he marketable and Cook will get a deal not matter whether he is one or two.

Joyce Meyer
Friday and Saturday were spent with Joyce Meyer and hundreds of other people. I have to say she is as amazing in person as on TV, she made us laugh, think, cry, and ponder our lives. She is so down to earth and so is her husband. He came out Friday and talked for a few minutes on why America is falling apart, this country was founded on religious freedom and now it is being taken away because we have let it.
I was very upset no media attention, no ads in the paper, no TV or radio crews present but one religious radio station, nothing. However that did not stop people from getting to the conference and worshipping.
I think one of the things she said that stuck out most to me is Silence is Agreement. If we don't speak up then no one knows we are opposed to anything. Unfortunately I don't have that problem, sometimes I speak out too much but people always know where I stand. So America stand up for yourselves, tell Congress we are tired of the war, the immigrants, the crap going on, bring prayer and the Pledge back to the schools where they belong, put criminals away-no more deals. It is time we take America back. After all look what Daniel and David did with their faith.
If you ever get a chance to hear her speak, you should go, her conferences are free and not much in life is free anymore without a price to pay later.

American Idol
Ok so I forgot we had to waste an hour last night and what better way to do so than to take their trips home with them. Of course they are emotional because think in a contest of over 100,000 you are in the top 3, there are thousands of fans in your hometown proud of you because you are one of those top 3. Why does Ryan act like no one has a heart like him. He pissed me off. However the best part of last night was when Fantasia did her, oh my what the heck was that dance and song and they panned to Simon's face. He was in horror, it was pretty bad, black girl can't dance or sing that song. And what was up with the red hair?
Syesha going home was sort of no surprise but she went out with grace and I feel she would do well on Broadway. So which David takes the prize and which one gets to do what they want? David A has the screaming 12 year olds with nothing better to do than text 400 times a minute while David C has a large adult fan base. Speaking of David C fans, there was a girl from Conneticut who flew out when he came home and spent the day. How much money does she have that she can waste like that, why not go to LA for the final show instead if you are wasting money. She got a plane ticket, hotel, rental car, tickets to the ball game and all for a chance to see him from a distance in person, she needs a life.
Will be interesting to see what they are singing next week.

Ok we are down to the last three and yet where is the wow factor. This year's contestants are good but they are not WOW. I give David A an A-, B-, and B+. I give Syesha a B, B-, B. I give David C an A, B, B+. It seems the judges have both Davids in the finale next week, now which one wins.
They sure did not show much of their time home considering David C probably attended at least half a dozen events last Friday if not more, oh well with 9 songs and Ryan yakking, they don't have much time for anything else.

Joyce Meyer, Annie Modesitt, Scissor Grinders, and hrc
This weekend Joyce Meyer is coming to town, she has never been here before. I can't wait to go see her. Also Annie Modesitt is coming to town and while I would like to go see her as well, Joyce takes priority. In case you don't know who these ladies are: Joyce Meyer is an evangelist, she is funny and good, kind of a female Billy Graham. Annie Modesitt (aka knitting heretic) is almost the equivalent of the Yarn Harlt, big name in the knitting world. God or knitting, I know it is a tough decision for me, but God won.
The Scissor Grinders have started, what you ask is a Scissor Grinder. Well when I was little and we lived in LA the Scissor Grinders would drive around with their music on, so my parents said. My cousin informed me they were actually the ice cream truck, my parents lied to me so I would not ask for ice cream. So ever since when I hear the Ice Cream Trucks out I always call my mom and tell her the Scissor Grinders are out. Can you imagine parents lying to their small children over ice cream. Shameful.
I heard this morning HRC was $20 million in the hole on her campaign, how much money is that and do you know how much charity work can be done with that kind of money. She has used $11 million of her money, aren't they bankrupt and where does a Senator and ex President get that kind of money, oh I remember, dead people, I see dead people in her past. I know she did not get convicted but she is a criminal remember that for those of you seem to think a Socialist criminal should be President.
