A Real Woman

A real woman is a man's best friend.
She will  Never stand him up and never let him down.
She will reassure him when he feels insecure and comfort him after a bad day.
She will inspire him to do things he never
Thought he could do; to live without fear
And forget regret. She will enable him to
Express his deepest emotions and give in to his most intimate desires.
She will make sure he always feels as though he's the most
handsome man in the room and will enable him to be the most confident, sexy,
Seductive and invincible...

No wait... Sorry.
I'm thinking of whiskey.
It’s whiskey that does all that stuff.
Never mind.

Pizza Mogul exploring GOP Presidential Bid. (CNN)

 

http://www.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/01/13/herman.cain/index.html?hpt=C2

Herman Cain is a Georgia businessman who is thinking outside the box. I read the article to learn who Herman Cain was. Can’t say I know a lot now but I am intrigued by the man. But what gets me is this comment from a professor in GA about the GOP:

"It's hard to see him as a likely nominee of the Republican Party since, generally speaking, Republican nominees have come from establishment orientation," Grant said. "And even beyond that, almost all Republican nominees have significant office-holding experience before being nominated."

Well maybe if this is the truth within the GOP maybe it’s time to start thinking and working out of the box and work to elect someone who isn’t from the establishment. What do you think?

Today’s Society! WTFO!?!

 

Take a good look around you. What do you as a person see?  I see a world of billions of people who have lost their frick’n minds!! What’s next? This weekend we had a young man who has slipped into a reality well beyond our own and shot 19 people, killing 6. We have a congresswoman in a hospital bed in Tucson fighting for her life and we have people badgering her because of what she stands for.  A President who was doing his duty in speaking for these people, who actually did a good job of doing it without going all political and here we go with the comments that it was all a publicity stunt. Not what I saw. Don’t take that I am a supporter of the O’Grand Obama because I am not. Didn’t vote for him or anyone of his cronies. Don’t support their ideas either. He did what he should have done as the President, just as I have witnessed before by Presidents Clinton, Reagan and Bush just to name a few. Moving on. The Middle East is collapsing. Governments falling apart. People blowing each other up. Why? Because they  are led by people who are clueless. They think their beliefs override every one else’s.  Are you a Christian, a Muslim , an atheist, Baptist, Presbyterian, etc. you get the point. We are a world of people who need to get along with each other and worry about what this world will be like for our children. We need to stop acting like a bunch a idiots and start thinking about helping one another. We have flooding, earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, volcano’s erupting all over this world with thousands dying daily and you are worried about what religious book and figure you believe in. STUPID. I believe in GOD. Whether you call him God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, or Jim Bob. It’s the same. Get a grip and start worrying about you fellow man and what we can do to each other survive and make a better world for our children.

Fwd: FW:

Someone asked the other day, 'What was your favorite fast food when you were growing up?'

 

'We didn't have fast food when I was growing up,' I informed him.

 

'All the food was slow.'

 

'C'mon, seriously. Where did you eat?'

 

'It was a place called 'at home,'' I explained. !

 

'Mom cooked every day and when Dad got home from work, we sat down together at the dining room table, and if I didn't like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I did like it.'

 
By this time, the kid was laughing so hard I was afraid he was going to suffer serious internal damage, so I didn't tell him the part about how I had to have permission to leave the table.

 

But here are some other things I would have told him about my childhood if I figured his system could have handled it :

 

Some parents NEVER owned their own house, never wore Levis, never set foot on a golf course, never traveled out of the country or had a credit card.

 

In their later years they had something called a revolving charge card. The card was good only at Sears Roebuck. Or maybe it was Sears & Roebuck.

 

Either way, there is no Roebuck anymore. Maybe he died.

 


My parents never drove me to soccer practice.. This was mostly because we never had heard of soccer... I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and only had one speed, (slow)

 

We didn't have a television in our house until I was 16.

 

It was, of course, black and white, and the station went off the air at midnight, after playing the national anthem and a poem about God; it came back on the air at about 6 AM. and there was usually a locally produced news and farm show on, featuring local people.

 
I was 21 before I tasted my first pizza, it was called 'pizza pie.'

 

When I bit into it, I burned the roof of my mouth and the cheese slid off, swung down, plastered itself against my chin and burned that, too. It's still the best pizza I ever had.


I never had a telephone in my room.

 

The only phone in the house was in the living room and it was on a party line. Before you could dial, you had to listen and make sure some people you didn't know weren't already using the line.

 

Pizzas were not delivered to our home But milk was.

 

All newspapers were delivered by boys and all boys delivered newspapers -- It cost 7 cents a paper, and they  got to keep 2 cents. They had to get up at 6 AM every morning.

 

On Saturday, they had to collect the 42 cents from their customers. Their favorite customers were the ones who gave them 50 cents and told them to keep the change. Their least favorite customers were the ones who seemed to never be home on collection day.

 

Movie stars kissed with their mouths shut. At least, they did in the movies. There were no movie ratings because all movies were responsibly produced for everyone to enjoy viewing, without profanity or violence or most anything offensive.

 
If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children or grandchildren Just don't blame me if they bust a gut laughing.

 
Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it?

 

MEMORIES from a friend :

 

My Dad is cleaning out my grandmother's house (she died in December) and he brought me an old Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it.. I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea. She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something. I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to 'sprinkle' clothes with because we didn't have steam irons. Man, I am old.

 

How many do you remember?

 

Head lights dimmer switches on the floor.
Ignition switches on the dashboard.
Heaters mounted on the inside of the fire wall.
Real ice boxes.
Pant leg clips for bicycles without chain guards.
Soldering irons you heat on a gas burner.
Using hand signals for cars without turn signals.
