I won't go into too much detail, those of you who know me on a personal level will hear about it if I care to share it with you. I just wanted to say how blessed I am. You don't realize how much God touches your life until something happens to make you sit back and see it. I had been saying 2007 is not my year. There is so much that has happen in my life that for a moment I truly thought I was alone. But I have been blessed more then I realize and last night made me see it. I almost lost my son last night and by the grace of God he came through this. He is ok nothing serious at all. It just that it could of been really BAD. Each day we talk about what is going wrong in our life's, what we don't have, what we wish we had, what could be different, how we hate our jobs, how we dislike this and that, today I see how much I DO HAVE and am taking time out to acknowledge my blessings. I have a loving and caring husband who is doing all he can to show me how much I he loves me and how important he realizes I am to his life, Two sons who show me daily that they love me and what a good mother I must be by them being respectful and wonderful men, I have never had them curse me or be so disrespectful to me, almost on a daily I am being told what wonderful sons I have, and I did a good job raising them ** BIG SMILE**, My bestest friend who always makes me feel good about myself when I am at my lowest, who is the Louise to my Thelma, the Ethel to my Lucy (now if I can only get them to blog), I have a boss who has become a good friend and a mother figure to me, who gives me advice and makes me see things clearly when its cloudy, I have new friends who have joined me in my craziness and accept me for who I am, A few old friends who laugh with me and make me feel appreciated, A job that as bad as I feel it is I at least have it, I talk to old friends who have been out of work for over a year and is really feeling it this time of year, I can go on, and on and name many other things. I have more in my life then most and can say that I am doing ok. You all know Christmas is my favorite time of the year, I love the gift giving, the happy people, the trees, etc BUT sometimes I forget what the day is really about until something makes me open my eyes. Count your blessings people, I did.
Oh BTW this isn't going to make me stop blogging and talking about people or speaking my mind . I am always going to be ME!! Just more grateful. **BIG SMILE *** ROFL
THOUGHT: Maybe I will contact the family members I still like!

At Lastttttt
OK, all those who are iming me in game. Sending me emails too scared to make comments directly to me or on my blog itself. HERE IT IS!!! My blog! *claps*. I have not feeling well this for days on and off. From my blood pressure, to head aches, to other unrelated aches and pains. But I will live *cough cough*. Anyway, I have tried to get on game and play but I have not been able too do it and stay on. Tuesday night I did manage to get on the game and put up my clothing and was on until 5:00am. I took a shower waited for my son to come pick me up who didn't get off work until 9am, so I was late to work arriving at 10:00am. Last night I got home around 5:45pm and begin a search for my debit cards which I think I threw away while wrapping up gifts. After 2 hours of looking every damn place I could think of, I just gave up and just said forget IT!!. Dee went to SL to find some vendors for us both for our businesses. I can not believe he actually is back in game. He left sl with me and now he is back and trying to get his business started again. I was working in photo shop with a busy mode tag in game when Dena hit me up. She said was wrapping gifts REMINDING ME that I have not done any wrapping except for what I did for the ones for the Christmas party we had Tuesday. I have bags of gifts to wrap and have yet to get off my fat ass and do it. IT SHALL BE DONE!! I wanted to go back to game and shop with Dena but I laid down to "Nap" and ended up going to sleep and awaking at 3:00am to find Dee up and playing in WOW trying to finish up a quest. I got on SL for a bit, then I logged in WOW. I keep forgetting Dee leveled me up so now I have a horse. I can't wait to get my next horse I want the black one I will try to get a photo to show it off to you all. Hopefully tonight I will be back in game but until then let's see what I have been up.
Speaking of our Christmas Party (an hour later). Our team Christmas party was this past Tuesday. I had fun, we were allowed 2 hours for the meeting and the party itself. We ate first( greedy people always do). We had a lot of food, Jerrie made her Chili Mac, Nazeli made a cheese and pastry dish that everyone said was very good, we had salad, cheese, crackers, meats, soft and rolls (yeah I am hungry cant you tell lol). It was also Denise birthday and we were going to get a cake but I think with the Christmas rush Jerrie forgot it. We are planning to get her a cake later on so we can celebrate. YEAH CAKE YAY!! Everyone open their gifts after we ate. Everyone seem very happy with what they got. I really think the "no gift cards" rule was good to have. I love my gifts I got so much Hello Kitty it was great. Denise had my name (still shocked how she kept THAT a secret) she got me a lot of hello kitty things I will be writing for weeks. lol. Jerrie got me a really nice Hello Kitty blankee, a cute little coin purse and later after Elaine looked inside I discovered I had a key ring too with Hello kitty. I LOVED IT!!! Dena got me numerous little goodies to keep me nice and fat. I usually don't open my gifts but Jerrie MADE ME. lol. I was happy with what I got I truly was someone actually listen to me this time. Jerrie was very pleasured with the gifts we got her. I had forgot one at home and said I would bring it on Friday. I plan on passing out my gifts on Friday and for family and friends (friends I don't work with, the 2 of them lol) on Christmas eve. So I will probably be wrapping gifts tonight and then Sunday night to get it done by Christmas Eve for delivery or pick up.
OK check this out:
I had the pleasure to have a supervisor tell me to "please Leave J alone" (the name has been kept so that her next step wont be HR on me). A few days ago, a rep was in the call center on her cell phone talking loud. (you all know if I didn't like her it would not matter to me lol). Well Jeanette (welcome back Jeanette, looking GOOD!!) asked was she on break, if so she needed to leave the call center. She, J, decided she was going to roll her eyes at Jeanette. WRONG!! I know Jeanette can handle herself, but the fact I can not STAND this nasty ass trick I had to say something to her. I told her " I KNOW your not rolling your eyes at Jeanette, you need to get your ass up out the call center". She looked at me briefly shook for a sec and left the call center. 30 minutes later her supervisor comes to my desk and ask me nicely to "please leave her alone because she is scared of me and says I am mad at her because she talk to a friend of mine. CHICK are you clueless on top of stupid. You talking to my friend hasn't got a damn thing to do with me disliking your punk ass. I just don't like you... PERIOD!! Don't get it twisted that he is the reason. The bad part of all this is now that she went to him to tell him to have me back off and not be a woman to come to me in my face. Even if you think I am going to kick off in your ass be a woman about yours and ask me to back off you. Now it is a thing of you being a snitch and me really going after you with full force. But I don't have to do it, I have others who will do it for me. hehehe ** evil ass laugh** I cant believe she ran to him like a punk and told on me. Now I may have Jerrie on my ass because of this, Jerrie already is "disappointed in me" because I have been mean to some fellow team members. I cant help it, if I don't like you I don't like you. But because Jerrie said I have to I wont harry ass them. ** Its not easy being mean **
Banning HO HO HO
OK this was funny to me so I thought I would share. Dee and I were outside at break a few days back and he told me that he had read where they are trying to ban Santa in the malls, or where ever he hangs out right now from saying HO HO HO. It seems that a lot of people are getting "offended" by this. OFFENDED!! are you kidding me. Why is everyone so damn sensitive now if your not a HO HO HO why do you care if Santa is saying it. I thought at first this was a joke until I actually read it as well. Here's the actual Story.
SANTA'S working in shopping centres across Australia have been banned from bellowing "ho ho ho" because it might frighten children.
Recruitment firm Westaff, which supplies hundreds of Santa's around the country, yesterday confirmed the edict. Westaff national operations manager Glen Jansz said the company's Santa's had been urged to tone down their use of the "ho, ho, ho" phrase. "The reason behind that is we find that in some cases the little kids can get a little bit scared of the deep 'ho, ho, hos' and we ask them to be mindful of keeping their voices to a lower level," he said. "And kids are probably more inclined to understand 'ha, ha, ha', than 'ho, ho, ho'." Thirty trainees at a recent Santa course were instructed to replace the traditional Christmas greeting with "ha, ha, ha". A Santa veteran of 11 years told the Sunday Herald Sun the instructions were clear: "No 'ho ho ho'.""We were told to say 'ha ha ha Merry Christmas'," he said. Two Santa hopefuls reportedly left the course after the edict. Family Council of Victoria spokesman Bill Muehlenberg described the ban as "nonsensical". "Potentially any big guy in a red suit with a white beard is scary but I don't think him saying 'ho ho ho' would damage a child's psyche. "Let's just concentrate on the kids having a good time." A survey of Melbourne children yesterday found universal support for Santa's "ho ho ho". "It's silly, we love hearing Santa's laugh," said Briony, 8, of Mitcham. "It doesn't frighten me at all. It's what Santa is supposed to say," said Byron, 9, of Melton. Yesterday in the Bourke St Mall, Santa's appeared to be ignoring orders to stop the 'ho ho hos'. David Jones's bellowed to a delighted group of children and rival Myer's Santa also kept up the jolly tradition. Damn now Santa can't even call J a Ho Ho HO, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!! LOL
We really don't care
Tuesday we found out our CEO was leaving our company. Here was the top 4 responses to that announcement.
1) When did this become blog or news worthy
2) Who cares
3) Wow so he gets no more million dollar bonuses he is giving himself
4)Dick, Dick Who?
Wow was I talking to you??
Today a fellow employee who I am starting to really like came to me to chat. He always teasing me about being mean but we talk and he is becoming a friend. We were talking about Christmas and I slipped and told him that I had yet to put up our tree. OUCH!! He told me not to talk to him anymore lol. We then starting talking about money, and how he and his wife share the expense's. I agreed and told him that so do Dee and I. Suddenly out of the damn blue another employee butted it and started talking to US about the same thing but not the same thing. We both sat there for a second and was puzzled. Don't get me wrong I didn't mind him being in the convo but he took over the CONTROL, then went all in left field of it as well. The person I was speaking to ask me if he were bitter. I don't know about being bitter but I do know he does complain about the same issue almost on a daily. I just hate when your talking to someone and someone dips in and then controls or attempts to control the conversation as well as change it to what THEY want to discuss. DAMN!! NEXT!!
4 more shopping days left for Christmas. Count them FOUR!!!

So many Topics... So little Time... AGAIN!!
Damn, there is so much I want to post but am trying to REMEMBER! Where do I start? OK ... Christmas Party on Saturday. Let's start there best place I think. Dena meet us at the job a little after 5pm, I was in the ladies room getting ready as fast as I could. The thought of not having a parking spot close to the event was making me a bit nervous. Look, I am a BIG girl, walking is not one of my pleasures. I had heard horror stories about how the parking was so bad ppl had to walk for blocks. Sorry but that wasn't going to happen to me. We would of been turning back around having a party in the lunch room at the job. After it seem like way too long to be driving we got there a little 7:00 pm and parking was excellent. We walked up and was greeted by faces I never seen before asking us for our names. Of course my name wasn't on the guest list. HA! Why should this event be any different from other event the company has. We seem to never be able to get things right the first time around. Now I was nervous that Donnie (my son) and Courtney (his girlfriend) would not be able to get in the event without me acting a bit south central or LBC (thought you all knew lol). No seriously, I was concern he would have an issue getting into the event. The girl at the desk who added my name to her list assured me he would have NO problems. I called him and gave him Dena's phone number just to make sure. he knew just want to say once he got there. We walked through the Ron Regan museum and while looking at pictures of Ron and Nancy, reading love letters, looking at Nancy's donated dresses, memorabilia of Ron's acting years, his governor years, and all the crap in between. All I could think about was the fact I am a Democrat and wth was I doing in here among all this bull shit. Then I thought why isn't there a museum for Bill Clinton, you would see me stealing items left and right. (SECURITY, THERE'S IS A BLACK FEMALE IN THE CLINTON BEDROOM EXHIBIT STEALING CLINTON'S BRIEFS) HA!! Hey it is what it is. Anyway we went downstairs because Denise had told me that is where she and Bill had been last year. I made sure I saved a seat for Victor, Jorge, Denise, Bill, Donnie, Courtney and Jeff. We sat down getting relaxed and listening to the band who wasn't really bad. Dena's phone rings and sure enough its Donnie telling me he cant get in and they cant find my name YET again. I was not happy about this and I knew I would have to go in front and EXPLAIN to them that it was their error that I was not listed. I told Dena and Dee what I was about to do and Donnie called and said he was in. 30 minutes later Donnie and Courtney were at the table. We sat and chatted for a while and he went and got food. Donnie came back with a nice salad plate which I was about to take a bite out of until Dee stopped me and told me the dressing was Alvarado ranch. My heart sank, I am SERIOUSLY allergic to avocado. You know so much so that my throat closes up, eyes roll back in my head and my heart starts going fast and if not treated I would go into cardiac arrest, a coma and probably die. Not the way I wanted to spend a Saturday night I tell you. But seriously my son had no idea and kept apologizing all night. I of course made a joke that if Dee wanted to get rid of me all he had to say was "baby eat your salad, its so good" I joke now but that would really had been a bad night. HA!! The food was not up to my taste tho, just didn't seem to have any real flavor to it. But all in all the night was nice tho, I really enjoyed myself. Denise and Bill got there and sat with us we all talked for a bit. Victor and Jorge came and we sat and conversed for a bit. I saw a few people who I ha vent in a while, Melba who works in Canyon Country store was there being her Melba self. I finally meet Erika dad, I had meet her mom a few weeks prior and thought she was the cutest and sweetest lady I have meet in a long time. Full of energy and life she was dancing with me and making jokes. She told me I should be her daughter, so I am now adopted. lol . La Tanya who use to work at with us and dated Jeff briefly came as well. She really looked nice she has lost a lot of weight and seem very happy. She is married now, and has a cute little girl who, if I can find a way I will put it on the website. Speaking of weight lost, Jeanette was there looking WONDERFUL!! A lot of people came to our table, but there were a lot I didn't see. I should of ventured out more and looked around but I was trying to wait for Jeff (he didn't should btw issues with his SUV). Victor and I did finally get on the dance floor after some coaching from him to me to get out there. A Jay Z song came on and my ass was OUT THERE!! lol I got a little pissed when I realize it was Rhiannon ass with "Umbrella". I still got out there and was dancing my ass off. I even saw my ex husband on the floor smiling ear to ear dancing looking like he had had way too many. If he is anything like he use to be he was probably drunk off his ass. He loves to drink and that part of him I don't see changing. Dee didn't dance, he had a drink that didn't settle well on his stomach so he didn't want it to come back up. ( EXCUSES, EXCUSES, X CUSES. We left a little after 11:00 pm and took the same route back home only instead of making rights, rights, rights, we made left, left, lefts. We got lost, yes LOST!! got off the freeway way too early and proceed to get back on the freeway to go the same way we went to the party. We realized this once we saw the signs telling us that the Ronald Regan museum was another left. I checked the gas to make sure we would not be on the 118 calling triple A. We finally got back to the job and drop Dena off and went on our way home. The back streets of the job was filled with teens in cars, and police outside them. Dee thought it may have been some kind of Christmas function. But you know me, my first thoughts was these little fuckas were street racing and it had come to an abrupt end. YEAH I said it! We got home and relaxed calling Jeff to tell him how much fun we had and he didn't. hehe! Unfortunately the rest of my two days didn't go as well. My blood pressure went UP and I just relaxed for the next 2 days. I did go on line to see if Dena was on so I could show her the house and have her add it to her landmarks. I stayed on all but 30 minutes and had to log off.
to be continue.......

Friday, Friday and Saturday..
Today I decided I am really REALLY going to our annual Christmas party. I have been with my company for over 10 years and have yet to go to any of the functions outside the job itself. In the past I have won several Showtime Trips, one for Disneyland, two to Las Vegas, one to a Showtime party that was really nice, and several others that I forgot where, when or why. I have also won and went to a few HBO parties (when they were doing that). However, have never went to a Christmas party actually given by the company itself. There has been many reasons why I have not, none that seem to matter one way or another anymore. Right now I am at a place in my life where I am enjoying things more. The past few Christmas's I have not been in any spirit to do anything. Many issues, many people who I love and care for have passed away, my health problems was taken its toll on my life and many reasons that just made me unhappy during the Holidays. The bad part of all this is that Christmas is truly my FAVORITE time of year. I love shopping for gifts, I like to know what a person likes and get it for them (within reason mind you lol). I enjoy giving gifts to family and friends, and watching the surprise on the faces. I will admit my family is BIG, I have them here, in the south, in Texas and damn near a whole tribe of them in Florida some living on a reservations. BUT I don't deal with any of them. I don't call them, they don't call me and all is right in MY world. There are some I do like and feel close too. The "Popes" them I do like but have not been in contact with either. Not because anything changed but with all that has been going on with me I distant myself from a lot of people and only deal with sisters and brothers. Actually there are several Pope Family members but the ones I like are the Dolores Pope side. Truth is I am very anti family, yes I know. I am sure you ask how does one become "anti Family", I have my reasons. Many of my family members treated my mother badly while she was growing up and well into her adulthood, this happen until they all decided they would be nicer to her. Some of them think their shit don't stink so they act above other family members. So me being ME I am not going to pretend like I love them, like them or give a damn about them when I could give a shit. ** BIG SMILE** OK enough of this venting about my fam. Lets get down to the subject of the blogging.
I have several interesting and not even interesting topics for you. I just am in a sharing mood and also in a venting one.
Topic 1) Ladies wash your hands or aka Why I don't eat at Pot Lucks
I have told you in my blog that I have this clean hand thing going. I wash my hands 4 times maybe even 5 before leaving the restroom. I use a lot of lotion during the day. Everyone knows I put it on all day long. So when I go to the restroom I want it all off my hands before I leave. I want my hands to be dry and I want them to be clean, and lotion less so I can start all over again. On many occasions I have been in the restroom in the stall and have heard someone leave their stall and walk out the door. They are not washing their hands, I hear no running water, no delay time from the time they open the stall door from the time they open door of the ladies room to walk out. The most painful part of this is when I see and know the person who has done. I raise my eye brow and wonder, WTF are they thinking what is wrong with you. How nasty can you be not to wash your damn hands after you are in a PUBLIC restroom. Do you realize how many people have touched the handle you touched, touched the door knob you touched and didn't wash THEIR HANDS. I know you may love yourself and believe in self touch. (hey its life baby). BUT love yourself a little less and wash your hands when you go to relief yourself in the little girls room. The worse thing that has happen lately is I now am in the "Know" of some of these woman who do this. Twice this week I have heard the toilet flush, see them walk out, stop to chat with me while I am either washing my hands or going into the stall and they, don't even attempt to wash their hands they just walk out the door. I am weird about eating behind other people anyway. I wont even eat behind my sons, I don't know who they are messing with SORRY!!! I know what everyone says you don't know if when you go to a restaurant people are washing their hands either. I GET IT!! I give them the benefit of the doubt, but those I see SEE clearly with my own two eyes not washing their hands I am not going to eat anything you cook or handle. That is why it pisses me off when someone says "Oh what are you eating, can I have a some, can I have a fry" and put their hands in my plate and take that fry out. Trust me I am now finish with those Fry's baby. Their are some ppl I trust enough to eat a fry out of my food if they have touched it. But on all pot lucks you will find me asking , "who cook this, who did this dish, who brought this in". Their are some who are just nasty, licking the bowl or utensils at the pot luck in front of everyone and god. Then putting it back in the dish they took it out of. That is why I get the food from the very very VERY few I trust when it first comes in. Most probably thought, God Sam is greedy but Sam is trying to protected herself from you and your nasty ways. NASTY. Ladies. I just have one thing to say PLEASE WASH YOUR DAMN HANDS!!!
Topic 2: I am NOT your FRIEND!!
I have notice many people who come here who talk to me like they know me or like we are friends. Trust me when I tell you and I am not being mean I am being REAL I am not your friend. Don't think because you see me joking with a mutual friend you have that right to mimic them. Don't think you can be a smart ass with me and think for a second I am taking that shit from you. One Example: Last night my friend came over when I told her I needed a relaxer on my head. She said she could come over but wanted to know if she could bring her friend Misty. I have seen Misty twice at her home and once she went shopping. I treated like she was there but not there. I acknowledged her when I had too. I don't dislike her, or like her she is just my friends friend. So yesterday Ahlisa was teasing me about getting my hair dyed. She said "bout time your ass stop looking like one of the golden girls" I cracked up (good one bitch btw). Then Misty said, "She looks like a black Betty White". Ahlisa stop laughing and I heard her say under her breath "oh shit". I didn't say anything, I let it go. Ahlisa started continuing doing my hair and Misty said. Why don't you keep it dyed, you know gray hair makes a woman look older. I lean forward and Ahlisa pulled me back by the hair because she knew what was about to jump OFF!! I then said. Misty, I know your trying to be helpful, but bitch you need to shut the fuck up. She stood there mouth drop. She said, I was only trying to tell you something to help you. I politely told her I didn't need her fucking help and she needs to go in a corner and read how to keep my mouth shut by Cassandra Manzanares Garcia. Out of the blue she then says"Well I can just go home" . Ahlisa said, ok girl let me walk you to your car ROFLLLLLL!!!! She said, so your not going too. I kind of laughed, hell no Ahlisa wasnt going to leave. LeeLee walked her dumb ass out and I told her this bitch is never allowed in my presence again let alone my house. Same thing at work, the few people I consider friends laugh and joke with me and then OTHERS feel they have that right. HELLO McFLY, I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND!!! Why would you want me as a friend any damn way. Per most people I have a tude, I am mean so why even want to talk to me. Trying to be a smart ass to me only gets you ignored by me and or treated like shit when I see you. Before you even say it, I am sure you don't care what I think or how I feel so just keep your distance from me. Keep your mouth shut and your distance at 5 feet. Be quiet when your friend who happens to be my friend too is talking to me and shut the fuck up. By the way this is not just directed to Misty this is directed to those in which I work with too. Keep stepping!! REMEMBER I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND
(oh this is just a scoop that had my wondering what the hell it meant all night. While Ahlisa was doing my hair I was reading the instructions. In the instructions it gives you a list of do's and don't. Like don't scratch your scrap before putting on the relaxer, don't wash your hair first, don't pull it. Why did it say don't drink coffee or hot drinks before you get your hair relaxed. WHY??!!! Maybe I am a dummie and maybe I am missing something in the translations but why cant I drink a damn cup of coffee or coco. If anyone knows you need to give me this info because I am going to write they ass or email them Monday. Yeah its just that important)
Topic: Mind your own Business
Why lately have I been talking to someone else and someone dips in my convo. WAS I TALKING TO YOU??? I can be talking to Ruel, Victor, Jason, Aron, Dena, Denise even my husband and someone will drop 2 cents in my conversation as if I really care what YOUR opinion is. If I am across the room, outside in the parking lot, or any general area near you but you are not a part of my convo. WHY? are you all up in my little meaningless chatter. Some people will make comments that I don't mind hearing because they actual have some interesting feedback. But some just be yacking and talking in the mist of it and I am looking around wondering what did I deserve to have you in my conversation. I know we may talk loud, laughing louder and it may be by your desk or near you. But guess what? you are not a part of it, sit at your desk and not join in when you are unwelcome and not considered to be acknowledged. You think I am harsh, and maybe in a way I am but I am sick of rolling my eyes at you. Sick of pretending like I don't see you or hear you and I clearly do. This is not a question or answer project, it's not a truth or dare, it's not spin the bottle and it's your turn to go. So please, if you wish to no longer be ignore just Mind your own business. Thank you, that is all. (note: I am sure half these people I am venting to will never read this blog which in itself is sad because it means they will still keep doing the things they
Topic 4: Virtual Christmas Party
I am still a little pissed I missed Victors Christmas gathering. I have been thinking about giving a Virtual Christmas party in game. Hell why not, we can drink, talk, eat, listen to music, and just over all have some fun. I have been thinking about getting my on line radio station back and having to have some streamed music can be the excuse I need. I am debating on Second Life (which if you have vista you may not be able to enter), or There.com which is a little easier to get in and have some fun. I know you all may think I am crazy, and for the most part your right. But if you read (and I do) this is becoming a digital world where a lot of things are happening via Internet and virtually. I think it would be fun to have a virtual party with friends and others lol. I am even thinking about a pajama party in game as well, something different and interesting. But I will make a decision before next weekend and if I do this may be something fun. It will be interesting if nothing else.
Topic 5: Hair Spray, the Movie
This is not a topic, I just wanted to say I saw Hair Spray last night and thought it was ok. Truth is Ahlisa wanted to watch it. I told her 8 years ago I would of never had believed the "Fat Girl" would get the cute guy. But it happen to me, sooo ROFL!! Anyway the only two parts of the movie I actually liked were when "Penny Pingleton" played by Amanda Byres, when her mother saw Tracy on the news protesting with the black kids from the radio station. Her mother told her "See, if I let you go out now you will be in prison fighting whores for cigarettes" why that was funny as hell was beyond me. I also like the song "Seaweed" played by Elijah Kelley sung. Some of the lyrics were "the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice" and "the darker the chocolate the richer the taste" my grandmother use to say that all the time.
Topic 6: Fun when your older
This is not a topic either but funny, Dee and I were going into Mervyns to get him something to wear to the party and to buy a few Christmas gifts. Before we walked in we heard the security alarm go off. You know the one that sounds off they pretend a cashier didn't take off the tag but clearly knows your ass has some "stolen goods" lol. When Dee and I looked the only person walking out the store was this old man in his 60's. He didn't even look surprised that the alarm went off, he didn't even turn back to see who the culprit was (now we all know we would be looking to see who the hell is stealing). Not him tho, he was all smooth and cool. Ok, maybe he didn't hear it I thought. He then stopped and asked Dee "Do you have on a watch?". Dee said, huh. rofl He then said "I need to know what time it is, do you have on a watch". Dee said "no I don't, but you better put that back". We started laughing and walked in the store. Dee said that the old man wanted his ass to be an accomplice to his little heist. I told Dee, no he wanted to see if you had a watch to finish his heist. I know that old man had stolen something. No one paid him any attention walking out, but you could clearly see his ass had lifted something from Mervyns. I am sure they thought the alarm went off from neglect of someone not taking off a tag. Yeah right, more like his ass should of been throw up against the wall and patted down. his ass got away with stealing at Mervyns during Christmas time because he was OLD!!! Ahhh don't tell me there is no fun when you get older. (Also listen at this, there was a security officer in Avenue. For those who don't know Avenue it is a store for big girls like myself to shop at. I have never seen a damn security officer at Avenue... EVER!! I kept getting this visual of some real fat girl running out of Avenue with some jeans, a bra and a few panties and getting winded by the time she got to the end of the pavement. What do you need security for in Avenue. You think one of us big girls is going to lift something. Truth be told the damn security officer look like I could out run his ass with no problem. Wow I am getting thoughts.
OK I am need to get to bed now, need to block out all the fun stuff of the day. **Waves**
I have several interesting and not even interesting topics for you. I just am in a sharing mood and also in a venting one.
Topic 1) Ladies wash your hands or aka Why I don't eat at Pot Lucks
I have told you in my blog that I have this clean hand thing going. I wash my hands 4 times maybe even 5 before leaving the restroom. I use a lot of lotion during the day. Everyone knows I put it on all day long. So when I go to the restroom I want it all off my hands before I leave. I want my hands to be dry and I want them to be clean, and lotion less so I can start all over again. On many occasions I have been in the restroom in the stall and have heard someone leave their stall and walk out the door. They are not washing their hands, I hear no running water, no delay time from the time they open the stall door from the time they open door of the ladies room to walk out. The most painful part of this is when I see and know the person who has done. I raise my eye brow and wonder, WTF are they thinking what is wrong with you. How nasty can you be not to wash your damn hands after you are in a PUBLIC restroom. Do you realize how many people have touched the handle you touched, touched the door knob you touched and didn't wash THEIR HANDS. I know you may love yourself and believe in self touch. (hey its life baby). BUT love yourself a little less and wash your hands when you go to relief yourself in the little girls room. The worse thing that has happen lately is I now am in the "Know" of some of these woman who do this. Twice this week I have heard the toilet flush, see them walk out, stop to chat with me while I am either washing my hands or going into the stall and they, don't even attempt to wash their hands they just walk out the door. I am weird about eating behind other people anyway. I wont even eat behind my sons, I don't know who they are messing with SORRY!!! I know what everyone says you don't know if when you go to a restaurant people are washing their hands either. I GET IT!! I give them the benefit of the doubt, but those I see SEE clearly with my own two eyes not washing their hands I am not going to eat anything you cook or handle. That is why it pisses me off when someone says "Oh what are you eating, can I have a some, can I have a fry" and put their hands in my plate and take that fry out. Trust me I am now finish with those Fry's baby. Their are some ppl I trust enough to eat a fry out of my food if they have touched it. But on all pot lucks you will find me asking , "who cook this, who did this dish, who brought this in". Their are some who are just nasty, licking the bowl or utensils at the pot luck in front of everyone and god. Then putting it back in the dish they took it out of. That is why I get the food from the very very VERY few I trust when it first comes in. Most probably thought, God Sam is greedy but Sam is trying to protected herself from you and your nasty ways. NASTY. Ladies. I just have one thing to say PLEASE WASH YOUR DAMN HANDS!!!
Topic 2: I am NOT your FRIEND!!
I have notice many people who come here who talk to me like they know me or like we are friends. Trust me when I tell you and I am not being mean I am being REAL I am not your friend. Don't think because you see me joking with a mutual friend you have that right to mimic them. Don't think you can be a smart ass with me and think for a second I am taking that shit from you. One Example: Last night my friend came over when I told her I needed a relaxer on my head. She said she could come over but wanted to know if she could bring her friend Misty. I have seen Misty twice at her home and once she went shopping. I treated like she was there but not there. I acknowledged her when I had too. I don't dislike her, or like her she is just my friends friend. So yesterday Ahlisa was teasing me about getting my hair dyed. She said "bout time your ass stop looking like one of the golden girls" I cracked up (good one bitch btw). Then Misty said, "She looks like a black Betty White".

Out of the blue she then says"Well I can just go home" . Ahlisa said, ok girl let me walk you to your car ROFLLLLLL!!!! She said, so your not going too. I kind of laughed, hell no Ahlisa wasnt going to leave. LeeLee walked her dumb ass out and I told her this bitch is never allowed in my presence again let alone my house. Same thing at work, the few people I consider friends laugh and joke with me and then OTHERS feel they have that right. HELLO McFLY, I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND!!! Why would you want me as a friend any damn way. Per most people I have a tude, I am mean so why even want to talk to me.

Be quiet when your friend who happens to be my friend too is talking to me and shut the fuck up. By the way this is not just directed to Misty this is directed to those in which I work with too. Keep stepping!! REMEMBER I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND
(oh this is just a scoop that had my wondering what the hell it meant all night. While Ahlisa was doing my hair I was reading the instructions.

So Many Topics... So little Time
I swear this post is almost not going to get done. I wrote for over an hour and it did not save what I did. But I am going to do it again, even tho I am pissed as hell right now. A lot of things happen today I am trying to sort out what to talk about first.
First Topic: Aren't You New?
This is becoming my pet peeve at the moment, New booties who come to the job and start acting like they have been there for fucking ever. They come in with this attitude that they shit don't stink. Word to the wise, when you come to work for a company, ACT like you new. Don't come in acting like you own the place. It always amazes me how ppl come in getting on aim, playing cards, Yeah YOU, sleeping with any and everything that they can. They come in rolling the eyes, talking shit to the supervisors, fighting in the call center, taking over the TV. (yeah I am hatin because I don't have one lol) But seriously when you get here get to know your JOB first before trying to fit the fuck in. Word of advice don't come in making enemies before you make friends. I understand if your not here to make friends, or don't care what anyone thinks. Truth is many don't like me and guess what, I don't like you either and don't give a damn what you think about my fat, nappy haired, black ass. You are NEW!! I don't care if you have a friend, partner, loved one, bootie call, or even if you worked at another office. Here your NEW baby!! Ruel (my little brother at work) and I always laugh at those who forget they came in a minute ago. See, I like Raashaad and Willie (ooo blog mentions lol), they came in acting new and because of it gain friends. Even Rashaad friend who is in training came in talking and socializing, BUT he has a cool persona and he is likable. Key word LIKABLE!! Don't come in rolling your eyes at me, Trust me I am not the one. You can either be here and be liked, or be here and be hated. Trust me every bitch and motha fucka who came here with a tude is either gone and on the unemployment line or ignored. Real Talk. Again.. ACT NEW!!
Second Topic: People and Aim.
I am enjoying those who are on Aim and on unrelated company sites. Guess what sweetie, Honey, Darling, Dummie we aren't suppose to be on it. Mind you I don't get on aim, I just yell across the room for those who I want to have a convo with. Truth be told almost everyone in the call center is on unrelated job sites and or aim. The sups know, they really could care less as long as your doing your job and playing it safe. I don't care either just be smart. Some of you just don't care. You leave your aim up when you go to the bathroom, go for your breaks, your lunch HOUR, while going to get your soda, coffee or whatever you get from the breakroom. Pull it down ! Today a mentor came to a rep and told him, "if you see someone who you never seen before here then take down your aim". DUH!!! this is not rocket science ladies and gentlemen. Can I explain your messing it up for your fellow employees. All of us get bored and want to just site search but when "you people" cant even pull down what your looking at when your not at your computer, or when a supervisor is at your DESK!!! you are making it hard on the rest. All you have to do is pull it down, however, in YOUR case, just get off it. Read a book, go to C3 or you will find yourself in the unemployment line with the ppl who forgot they are NEW!!
Third topic: Vista Programs.
Vista is the worse program KNOWN to man right now. I am not sure why they made such a non user friendly program. But I truly hate it. I have an XP and my old XP far better then my New Vista program. I didn't want a vista but my baby got it for me for our 8 year anniversary. (love you boo). It has become a challenge for me to say the least. It has really gotten hard with me making clothes in the on line game I play. I am finding it hard to design and created on it which makes me think I may be getting on my old pc to do most of my work. This is money now peeps I cant have that. A few friends have tired to get on the game I just mention and cant because of the vista program. I even had a trouble downloading the game I play called WOW until Dennis discovered to run it through systems administration. Per Denise the maker of Vista is trying to make the Vista more like the Mac computers. I don't give a damn who they are trying to copy from. Make it stop, Make it stop. I hate vista!!
Fourth topic: Illegal cable:
Today I received a phone call that I started to share while at work but decided to blog it instead. A guy called and his first question was "Does your company still give rewards out for turning in people who have illegal cable services". This made my eye brow raise because I know that over 10 years ago we use to give some kind of reward out. This was during the time when installers were hooking ppl up with "hot boxes" and they were getting all the services without charge. (I had one 20 years ago.. awww the memories). I politely told him no but we would be interested in who was enjoying our wonderful cable services without paying for it. He then begin to give me information. He told me his ex girlfriends mother was getting illegal cable services. He also told me, his ex girlfriends brother had hooked the mother up in the garage. He then said the mother had her cable disconnected for nonpayment over a year ago and the same day they hooked her up with illegal cable. WOW!!! Snitch!! He then gave me his ex girlfriends name, address and phone number. Then he gave me her mothers name, address and phone number. Sure enough moms was disconnected for non pay over a year ago for the tune of $255.00. He then begin to tell me how his ex and her family were crack dealers and how the whole street was full of addicts. ( call Dateline, the world needs to know there is more then porn in the Valley). He told me that they made the crack in the same garage as the illegal services were being held hostage. WOW! SNITCH!! He confessed how his girl had cut up his clothes, took his money from his bank, and just did him "dirty". So I wrote down the info, and yes, OH HELL YES, I did a special request for illegal services and to top it off I did a issue track. Why, because my friends if I cant make money off you then your going to get your illegal cable turned OFF. Oh and more word of advice. Don't have your brother hook up your mother with illegal cable services in the same garage you sell crack and then do your ex boyfriend "dirty" because he will call me and I will have yo cable CUT!!!
Fifth Topic: JayZ
OK all of you been laughing at me about wanting JayZ for Christmas (all but Ruel and Aron because I told them to get me Tickle Me Elmo). I want Jay Z, I don't care if he is in his rockawear briefs or butt nakey. Is my husband looking at this. Who cares it's HOV. Now you all know what I want. TRUE friends would do whatever it takes to make that happen for ME.
Sixth Topic: From the Heart
This morning while my younger son "Adonus" was bringing me into work we started talking about Christmas. I was telling him how I believed in Santa until I was 14 years old, YES 14. Each Christmas I would write out a list of things I wanted and each Christmas I would get what I wanted. I remember a year I asked for a sewing machine and Santa, she got it. My Santa was my grandmother. She raised me from age 2 until I moved in with my mother at age 16. She was my strength, my life line, my mentor, my best friend, my supporter, my HERO! What she lacked in education she made up in life experience. She always help those who were probably better off then she was. She was a strong woman with the wisdom that surpassed any college grad. She told me how much she admired my outspokenness alt ho she never allowed me to speak it freely to our relatives. LOL. I wish right now I could see her so she can see I didn't turn out so bad and I that I am happy where I am in my life right now. If there is a heaven she is there. I miss that old lady and I love her more and more each day.
11 shopping Days left until Christmas kiddies... Jay Z is waiting

Don't come in rolling your eyes at me, Trust me I am not the one. You can either be here and be liked, or be here and be hated. Trust me every bitch and motha fucka who came here with a tude is either gone and on the unemployment line or ignored. Real Talk. Again.. ACT NEW!!
Second Topic: People and Aim.
I am enjoying those who are on Aim and on unrelated company sites. Guess what sweetie, Honey, Darling, Dummie we aren't suppose to be on it. Mind you I don't get on aim, I just yell across the room for those who I want to have a convo with. Truth be told almost everyone in the call center is on unrelated job sites and or aim. The sups know, they really could care less as long as your doing your job and playing it safe. I don't care either just be smart. Some of you just don't care. You leave your aim up when you go to the bathroom, go for your breaks, your lunch HOUR, while going to get your soda, coffee or whatever you get from the breakroom. Pull it down ! Today a mentor came to a rep and told him, "if you see someone who you never seen before here then take down your aim". DUH!!! this is not rocket science ladies and gentlemen. Can I explain your messing it up for your fellow employees. All of us get bored and want to just site search but when "you people" cant even pull down what your looking at when your not at your computer, or when a supervisor is at your DESK!!! you are making it hard on the rest. All you have to do is pull it down, however, in YOUR case, just get off it. Read a book, go to C3 or you will find yourself in the unemployment line with the ppl who forgot they are NEW!!
Third topic: Vista Programs.
Vista is the worse program KNOWN to man right now. I am not sure why they made such a non user friendly program. But I truly hate it. I have an XP and my old XP far better then my New Vista program. I didn't want a vista but my baby got it for me for our 8 year anniversary. (love you boo). It has become a challenge for me to say the least. It has really gotten hard with me making clothes in the on line game I play. I am finding it hard to design and created on it which makes me think I may be getting on my old pc to do most of my work. This is money now peeps I cant have that. A few friends have tired to get on the game I just mention and cant because of the vista program. I even had a trouble downloading the game I play called WOW until Dennis discovered to run it through systems administration. Per Denise the maker of Vista is trying to make the Vista more like the Mac computers. I don't give a damn who they are trying to copy from. Make it stop, Make it stop. I hate vista!!
Fourth topic: Illegal cable:
Today I received a phone call that I started to share while at work but decided to blog it instead. A guy called and his first question was "Does your company still give rewards out for turning in people who have illegal cable services". This made my eye brow raise because I know that over 10 years ago we use to give some kind of reward out. This was during the time when installers were hooking ppl up with "hot boxes" and they were getting all the services without charge. (I had one 20 years ago.. awww the memories). I politely told him no but we would be interested in who was enjoying our wonderful cable services without paying for it. He then begin to give me information. He told me his ex girlfriends mother was getting illegal cable services. He also told me, his ex girlfriends brother had hooked the mother up in the garage. He then said the mother had her cable disconnected for nonpayment over a year ago and the same day they hooked her up with illegal cable. WOW!!! Snitch!! He then gave me his ex girlfriends name, address and phone number. Then he gave me her mothers name, address and phone number. Sure enough moms was disconnected for non pay over a year ago for the tune of $255.00. He then begin to tell me how his ex and her family were crack dealers and how the whole street was full of addicts. ( call Dateline, the world needs to know there is more then porn in the Valley). He told me that they made the crack in the same garage as the illegal services were being held hostage. WOW! SNITCH!! He confessed how his girl had cut up his clothes, took his money from his bank, and just did him "dirty". So I wrote down the info, and yes, OH HELL YES, I did a special request for illegal services and to top it off I did a issue track. Why, because my friends if I cant make money off you then your going to get your illegal cable turned OFF. Oh and more word of advice. Don't have your brother hook up your mother with illegal cable services in the same garage you sell crack and then do your ex boyfriend "dirty" because he will call me and I will have yo cable CUT!!!
Fifth Topic: JayZ
OK all of you been laughing at me about wanting JayZ for Christmas (all but Ruel and Aron because I told them to get me Tickle Me Elmo). I want Jay Z, I don't care if he is in his rockawear briefs or butt nakey. Is my husband looking at this. Who cares it's HOV. Now you all know what I want. TRUE friends would do whatever it takes to make that happen for ME.
Sixth Topic: From the Heart
This morning while my younger son "Adonus" was bringing me into work we started talking about Christmas. I was telling him how I believed in Santa until I was 14 years old, YES 14. Each Christmas I would write out a list of things I wanted and each Christmas I would get what I wanted. I remember a year I asked for a sewing machine and Santa, she got it. My Santa was my grandmother. She raised me from age 2 until I moved in with my mother at age 16. She was my strength, my life line, my mentor, my best friend, my supporter, my HERO! What she lacked in education she made up in life experience. She always help those who were probably better off then she was. She was a strong woman with the wisdom that surpassed any college grad. She told me how much she admired my outspokenness alt ho she never allowed me to speak it freely to our relatives. LOL. I wish right now I could see her so she can see I didn't turn out so bad and I that I am happy where I am in my life right now. If there is a heaven she is there. I miss that old lady and I love her more and more each day.
11 shopping Days left until Christmas kiddies... Jay Z is waiting

Yes it's sunshine day by the Bradys.
Today as we all sit and laughed and joked, I begin to sing the Sunshine Dday song that the brady kids made famous. I have no damn idea what prompt me to sing it but I wanted to and I damn it I DID IT!! After we laughed at it for a moment I decided to go on Youtube where almost every damn thing is and found Sunshine Day. I actual found two of them, the original one and the updated Brady Movie one. As funny as the second one is I thought I would bring some of you back down memory lane and show you the old one. Without further ado. Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls. Dogs and Cats and Rabbits SUNSHINE DAY

YESTERDAY was just NOT my DAY
I just got up 30 minutes ago after tossing and turning while listening to a rough sounding TV pastor talk about how god will save all of us if you just believe. I sat up in the bed and looked at the TV eyes not focusing but focus enough to see a black female who look every bit like Whoppi Goldbergs character from sister act. Her voice was so damn annoying that it make me find the remote in the bed among all the sheets and the comforter. I push Dee to the side a bit and had him turn over which was good because he was snoring in my ear. Now before every ones mouths drop about the fact I spoke about the pastor. Let me tell you I was raised by my grandmother who was a DEVOTED baptist. I attend Sunday school and church every Sunday from age 3 until age 16. I was in the choir and faithfully went to the practices every Friday night. I am a firm believer in Jesus and the fact he is my savior. BUT!!! there are some pastors, TV, real life, whatever who drive these thoughts down your throat about being saved and KNOW they don't believe half of what they are saying to you. Yesterday same thing, I was awaken by a pastor who was saying how "Jesus has him writing to those who contact him to tell them what Jesus sees in there life". The funny part that made me shake my head was the fact that he was offering a "Free prayer page" FREE prayer page to be send to you. WTF!! sooo is there a priced prayer page. You know. a page that list what can be prayed for and how much it cost. Example; Pray about Joblessness $25.00, Pray your wife/husband stop cheating $150.00. Pray your kids quitting being such bad ass kids $600.00. I mean for real why headline that FREE. Prayer should always be free. He then started speaking in tongues which always makes me laugh. I am not saying it can't happen but I kind of doubt it while your on TV talking and suddenly it just happens. He was talking to a caller and was explaining how he saw that he would have his own business soon. The caller clearly was asking when he would get a job because he had been out of work for so long. The pastor kept saying how he would soon own his own business and that god was telling him this he just didn't know how long it would be. I started laughing, couldn't help it. See to ME I don't need a go between to talk to Jesus or God. I feel you have a personal relationship with your faith. This is one of the reasons I never understood the catholics. They believe in going to a confessional to tell a third party what you did and ask him to allow you to confess. It isn't his business, my relationship with Jesus is a one on one deal I don't need a ref to be in between us. OK, let me hush before this becomes a topic and someone starts getting pissed off.
Let's talk about yesterday morning at 8am when I walked into work. I was greeted by Dena with a smile as she always does. I could tell the phone calls were back to damn back as they always are on Saturdays. No matter how much I know the calls are going to be over whelming it still does not make it easier to handle them. My first call was actual very good. The call was a sales call, lady was very pleasant on the phone. She knew what she wanted and was eager to make the change over. YAY! GOOD CALL! The next call was pretty good as well. It was another sales calls, a young mother of 3 kids wanted to give the kids an early Christmas gift so they could watch cartoons and educational TV on their Christmas vacation. I was smiling now, looks like this may be a good day after all. Next call was a payment, no biggie, just wanted to make sure they could get the fight so they make sure the account was current. the fourth call was the ONE!! That call open the portal to HELL!! Every damn call after that call was of some BS about a bills, about someone not showing up. about wrong orders entered, TV not working, Internet not working, the list goes on and on. I wasn't feeling well anyway. I still am carrying a little bit of that damn flu I had but not enough to keep me from working. One of the old people who just came back wanted to sit with me. I refused. I didn't feel good enough to have anyone sit with me. I just wanted the day to go by so I could try to go to Victors party, relax, eat, drink a little, enjoy Victor and other company and be talked about Monday morning. LOL! I left from work at 5pm being picked up by Jeff as I always am. I asked him if he were still going to Vic's gathering so I could have a ride (NOTE: I gave Jeff our car for his birthday in October that was not working).
Now mind you I just said I gave Jeff our SUV in October for his birthday, the car was not working and hadn't been for several months. We had taken it to the shop to get a smog check to get it registered. We did but they screw the car up while doing the smog check. The car passed and after that several times we would find ourselves back to the shop getting it repaired. Them finally telling us they don't know what was wrong with it. After they fucked it UP!!! We would have it repaired, it work for a month or less and we were back at the shop. After this going on 5 times Dee decided ENOUGH!! The car sit in the back of our apartment for months until Jeff wanted it. He, Jeff, felt he could get it repaired and have the luxury of not having a car note. We agreed and gave him the car as a birthday gift. He got it repaired and has been driving it ever since. He brings us and picks us up to and from work. (such a nice boy, granny loves him yes she does, YES SHES DOES). Now mind you he has had the car in the shop once since he repaired it the first time and he has only had it since October. Now the tags expired in October of this year. I have been urging Jeff to get them up dated under his name. "I will, I will" is always his response to my urges. Last night on the way home to get dressed and go to Victors, I decided to stop pick up a bottle of wine and gas up. Almost near home there is a liquor store we wanted to go too. We hit the corner to turn and Dee saw a police cruiser going the opposite way. The cruiser did a U turn, I don't think the U was for us but about 2 minutes later it was CLEAR as hell he was on OUR ASS. Jeff turned into the store parking lot quickly I guess trying to avoid the police seeing the expired license plates. Hmmm didn't happen, they had already seen it. We parked the car and then had them shine the light on us. We sit in the SUV like grammar school kids in the principal office awaiting the suspension. An Asian female police officer came to the car and requested Jeff's license, cough, an registration and PROVE of insurance of the vehicle. OMG!!! I quickly told her I had given Jeff the car for his birthday. It is STILL in my name, and NO officer there is no registration for the SUV, because it has been sitting around for almost a year until now. She walked away back to the cruiser. Here we GO!!! my first thought was they were going to take the SUV. I have seen it before, a friend of mine who had just got her car repaired and was leaving the car repair shop to go to dmv was stopped and had her car taken. The three of us sat there about 30 minutes, quiet, not really saying anything to each other. Then this nice looking black police officer came to Jeff side of the window and requested him to get out of the car. OH SHIT!! I started thinking, do I have to get out and start a Bonnie and Clyde thing. (JEFF WHAT DID YOU DO, WHO DID YOU BEAT THE HELL OUT OF?? TELL ME!! TELL ME!! TELL ME!!) Oh yeah, that's right, he is the good kid. A few moments later, Jeff came back to the car and showed us his ticket for the expired tags and no insurance. I breathed a sigh of relief but Jeff clearly was not in a good mood. I mean I wasn't either. BUT I was just happy the officers were nice enough to allow us to go on our way. Needless to say, we didn't get the wine for Vic and we went home. As we got in the house still quiet and a bit pissed. Jeff started to come back by talking about how cute the Asian female police officer was and how she must of looked at him and fell in love and told her partner just to let us go. We all laughed but clearly we knew we were in for the night. When Jeff talked about the police officer I thought about how earlier one of the guys at the job had said about how he would never date an Asian female and he is Filipino. WHO KNEW!! (the name of the guy has been withheld to protect him lol) I am still a bit pissed because I really wanted to go to Vic gathering. I am trying my best now to get out and do things other then just go home and relax. I love Christmas time and I enjoy sharing it with family and friends. Last night since we were going to HAVE to stay home all I wanted was to eat and go to bed. Dee and I took a shower, ordered out for me, him, Jeff, Donnie and my cousin Ron. We called labites and placed a take out order. Labites has several places you can get take out from, you order online from any restaurant you choose from any price range and they go and pick it up and bring it to you. (http://www.labites.com/) Our order came up to a tasteful $164.00 (see previous blog post ** BIG SMILE** ). The food wasn't even all that so that was another big disappointment. JUST NOT MY DAMN DAY! I went to sleep around 9:30 pm upset that I could not go to one of my friends parties, pissed the food I ordered was too expensive and not as good as it could be. Tired of having to be at a job that knows something is going on one day of the week and could give a good hot damn. Thus explains the reason I am up now and cant damn sleep.111
Anyway I am sure I will be posting later on today, I just honestly needed to vent some of that out. I would of wrote last night but just to go to sleep and forget the day. I am going to now watch one of the law and orders I had recorded on dvr. Dee has 2 tattoos to do this morning around 10am so I am sure that should be a story behind that.
BTW Labites restaurants usually has good food delivered. Not sure why this place was bad. I have eaten from there before and it was actually pretty good. It could of been the choice I made this time that lack taste.

DO WE waste money. READ ON....
Tonight I went shopping at the Topanga mall. I have not been to this mall for over 3 years. I could not believe how much had been added and how nice it has become. It's now one of the "Westfield" Malls. There is a lot to see but we didn't really shop too much. We had gotten off of work at 5:00 pm and went directly to shop. We went to a few stores and sat down and had a hot dog and a drink. The WE were Denise, Dennis and myself. After we shopped we left the mall and Denise dropped us off. We got home I would guess I could say a little after 9pm. Dennis and I took a shower, but he got out long before I did. I had to soak my feet because they were sore from the walk. (NOTE TO SELF, NEXT TIME WEAR MORE COMFORTABLE SHOES). Anyway, when I got out of the shower I had plan on getting on the computer and talking about other real things of interest. HA!! Then l came across this article. As soon as I starting reading I started to laugh to myself, or maybe AT myself. I then thought I would share it with all of you. The article is interesting to say the least... and TRUE!! I proved this tonight when I went shopping at the mall. I spend, dare I tell it. $177.00 at HALLMARK!!! HALLMARK PEOPLE!! There were a few things the Dee saw that he really wanted. This Christmas he is more in the spirit and I wanted him to have some ornaments on the tree that said him. But once the girl in her happy, happy, joy, joy mood totalled everything up she said with a big ass smile. "That will be $177.00, I looked at the register TWICE!! I spend over $66.00 on personalized piggie banks. WHY!!! Because if you purchase three you get the fourth one free. I think all I heard was FOURTH ONE FREE!!! Some things I did buy were for others and it was what i plan to get. But impulse shopping is one of my biggest problems. I use to be the type of person who would never get what I wanted when I went to the store. I would feel guilty and would pick it up get almost to the register, take it out of my basket and leave it in where ever I saw. Or I would get to the register and take it out and put it among the candies and magazines. LOL!!! So this article hit home a little bit. But it's Christmas right, Deck the hall, and all that sort of jazz.
************************************************
When it comes to blowing money, we Americans have no peers. We are the world champions of frivolous spending and we have the record level of personal debt to prove it.How profligate are we? New Jersey dental-school student Steven Toth posted a mystery item on eBay last year under the title “The Biggest Waste of Money” and got a high bid of $136 from the last of 36 bidders -- for a piece of paper on which he scribbled that phrase .
Extravagant weddings: Americans now spend an average of $30,000 on getting married and the more affluent often shell out six figures. Lost in the concern over appearances is the fact it’s having all your near-and-dears together, celebrating your future as husband and wife that makes a wedding so memorable. You need not sacrifice your retirement savings to create those memories. How many parents-of-the-bride have wanted to smack themselves silly – and still may be paying off huge credit-card balances -- for dropping major coin on marriages that ended all too soon? Sadly, there’s a 50-50 chance that what people spend on a wedding will be the biggest waste of money in their lives.“Premium” coffee-to-go: It’s okay to treat yourself occasionally to take-out coffee; it certainly tastes better than most home or office brew. But twentysomethings buy $3 java drinks like it’s just milk money -- and then complain Social Security won’t be there for them. How’s this for a shocker: The $750 in annual net pay a $3-a-day, work-week coffee habit consumes would yield almost $300,000 in an IRA growing 8% annually over 40 years. Better yet, break your caffeine addiction altogether.

Better yet, break your caffeine addiction altogether.
Expensive option packages on new cars: Thanks to all-too-easy credit, our average-priced new car now sells for almost $30,000. Our sudden, intense longing for tripped-out wheels is driving that spike. How many of us buy the $3,000 option package just to get a global positioning system (GPS), when we once made do quite well with road maps and pulling into a gas station for directions when we were lost? Word to the wise: Instead of blowing six grand on options, buy the base model of a better car or truck. After a few thousand miles behind the wheel, you’ll be glad you did – especially come resale time.
Sports memorabilia: This market for the celebrity struck may be the greatest separator of fools and their money ever. One can only hope the saps who pay $700 for a baseball signed by disgraced steroid abuser Barry Bonds come to their senses. You may covet the signature of your favorite player, but keep in mind these souvenirs often are whipped off for $300 a pop by athletes getting paid $1,000-an-hour to attend a card show.
Cigarettes: Sure, it’s an obvious one, but when are we as a species going to evolve beyond this disgusting suicidal habit? We puffed away $88 billion worth of tobacco products in the U.S. last year, and people in New York City now fork out $7 for a pack of smokes. Don’t delude yourself into thinking you’re a smart spender just because you buy your smokes by the carton.
(Dennis's vice by the way)
Impulse Internet buys: Americans took a long while to embrace online shopping. But now that we have, boy are we running up a tab. We spent $143 billion online last year, of which $61 billion went to travel spending. You may think you’re getting an amazing deal on travel sites and shopping search engines – with free shipping and no tax! But if you put that entire tab on your credit card, you could be paying the bill for years at a high interest rate. The Internet and its promise of unlimited choice and great deals could prove as big a wrecker of individuals’ personal finances as 24-hour access to cash via ATMs.
Gambling: U.S. casino interests pulled a shrewd one getting the financial media to embrace their ruse of calling their industry “gaming” to sanitize its image. Their new wallet-pocketing method: Slot machines that no longer take coins, only bills discharged as electronic vouchers to insert in the next machine. That way you don’t see your losses as real money, just like the $25 chips in blackjack. Sure, we all have a right to throw away our hard-earned dough. But next time you walk into one of those $2 billion Vegas casinos, just remember, it wasn’t built with cash but with loans that, odds are, you’re going to help the owners pay off.
Fuel-inefficient vehicles: In the mid-1980s, we all questioned the sanity of people still driving gas guzzlers – and now most of us are spending $40 to $60 a pop filling up our own. The average 22 MPG for U.S. vehicles is unchanged for 20 years because we let Big Oil and automakers seduce us with cheaper gas and more powerful engines. It took Japanese automaker Toyota to give us our first great leap forward in the hybrid Prius and now it is about to overtake General Motors as the world’s biggest automaker. We can’t keep siphoning nasty subterranean ooze and combusting it into the atmosphere without a serious day of reckoning coming. The biggest and most necessary waste of money in human history may be what the world has to spend to stop global warming.
Fast Food: Fast food may seem cheap and convenient in the short run. But our fast-food addiction has turned us into a nation of beach balls with feet -- where all too many of us face life-threatening conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. A serious illness is a major cause of bankruptcy among individuals. Bad enough that we’re leaving future generations with a crushing national debt and melting polar ice caps, we’re also to blame for a childhood obesity epidemic. Eat at home. Whatever you throw together, guaranteed it’s healthier than fast food -- and cheaper for your family in the long run. (MY vice)
Christmas shopping: It’s not what we blow on holiday gifts -- $450 billion last year -- but how thoughtlessly we spend much of that sum that’s become a colossal waste. We hastily buy random items online and resort to impersonal gift cards when stuck for ideas. We worry about some perceived obligation to spend a certain amount, rather than putting thought into selecting a present that could bring real joy.
The Ultimate Impact So what does all this profligate spending add up to? Drained savings accounts, maxed-out credit cards and ever-present monetary anxiety. When the Declaration’s framers extended us the right to the pursuit of happiness, they didn’t have two-pack-a-day habits, doubling-down a blackjack bet or impressing business associates with our daughter’s lavish wedding in mind. Before you squander your money on one of these 10 huge wastes of money, think about how saving that money might provide a better route to long-term happiness and financial security.
************************************************
When it comes to blowing money, we Americans have no peers. We are the world champions of frivolous spending and we have the record level of personal debt to prove it.How profligate are we? New Jersey dental-school student Steven Toth posted a mystery item on eBay last year under the title “The Biggest Waste of Money” and got a high bid of $136 from the last of 36 bidders -- for a piece of paper on which he scribbled that phrase .
Extravagant weddings: Americans now spend an average of $30,000 on getting married and the more affluent often shell out six figures. Lost in the concern over appearances is the fact it’s having all your near-and-dears together, celebrating your future as husband and wife that makes a wedding so memorable. You need not sacrifice your retirement savings to create those memories. How many parents-of-the-bride have wanted to smack themselves silly – and still may be paying off huge credit-card balances -- for dropping major coin on marriages that ended all too soon? Sadly, there’s a 50-50 chance that what people spend on a wedding will be the biggest waste of money in their lives.“Premium” coffee-to-go: It’s okay to treat yourself occasionally to take-out coffee; it certainly tastes better than most home or office brew. But twentysomethings buy $3 java drinks like it’s just milk money -- and then complain Social Security won’t be there for them. How’s this for a shocker: The $750 in annual net pay a $3-a-day, work-week coffee habit consumes would yield almost $300,000 in an IRA growing 8% annually over 40 years. Better yet, break your caffeine addiction altogether.

Better yet, break your caffeine addiction altogether.
Expensive option packages on new cars: Thanks to all-too-easy credit, our average-priced new car now sells for almost $30,000. Our sudden, intense longing for tripped-out wheels is driving that spike. How many of us buy the $3,000 option package just to get a global positioning system (GPS), when we once made do quite well with road maps and pulling into a gas station for directions when we were lost? Word to the wise: Instead of blowing six grand on options, buy the base model of a better car or truck. After a few thousand miles behind the wheel, you’ll be glad you did – especially come resale time.
Sports memorabilia: This market for the celebrity struck may be the greatest separator of fools and their money ever. One can only hope the saps who pay $700 for a baseball signed by disgraced steroid abuser Barry Bonds come to their senses. You may covet the signature of your favorite player, but keep in mind these souvenirs often are whipped off for $300 a pop by athletes getting paid $1,000-an-hour to attend a card show.
Cigarettes: Sure, it’s an obvious one, but when are we as a species going to evolve beyond this disgusting suicidal habit? We puffed away $88 billion worth of tobacco products in the U.S. last year, and people in New York City now fork out $7 for a pack of smokes. Don’t delude yourself into thinking you’re a smart spender just because you buy your smokes by the carton.
(Dennis's vice by the way)
Impulse Internet buys: Americans took a long while to embrace online shopping. But now that we have, boy are we running up a tab. We spent $143 billion online last year, of which $61 billion went to travel spending. You may think you’re getting an amazing deal on travel sites and shopping search engines – with free shipping and no tax! But if you put that entire tab on your credit card, you could be paying the bill for years at a high interest rate. The Internet and its promise of unlimited choice and great deals could prove as big a wrecker of individuals’ personal finances as 24-hour access to cash via ATMs.
Gambling: U.S. casino interests pulled a shrewd one getting the financial media to embrace their ruse of calling their industry “gaming” to sanitize its image. Their new wallet-pocketing method: Slot machines that no longer take coins, only bills discharged as electronic vouchers to insert in the next machine. That way you don’t see your losses as real money, just like the $25 chips in blackjack. Sure, we all have a right to throw away our hard-earned dough. But next time you walk into one of those $2 billion Vegas casinos, just remember, it wasn’t built with cash but with loans that, odds are, you’re going to help the owners pay off.

Just a VIew
Ok I got home and realized I needed to wash a few pieces. A few things turned into 2 loads of clothes and towels. During my washing Dee wanted to go in game and level up a bit in Scarlet. MY plans were to get on and play puzzle pirates and hit Dena up on AOL. DIDN'T HAPPEN. It took us about 3 hours between the washing and the killing each main boss (there were 4). I didn't get a chance to watch any of "Tin Man" either. I did however want a few Law and Orders and one Cold Case. I hope tomorrow is more eventful and I am in game playing rather LEARNING Puzzle Pirates, I did take a photo of my toon and Dee's I leveled up to 37 WOOT!!! All in a nights work ladies and gents.

This weekend
Ok, I really had thought I would be spending my off days sipping a coke and writing in my blog. HA!! That did not happen. I did get a chance to spend some time in WOW tho. Matter of fact we went on a little raid. Now for those of you who don't know what a raid is which maybe ALL of you. It's when you get a group of ppl together and all of you go to enemy territory and kick they ass. Now mind you I am on the Alliance side, which is suppose to be like the good guys. I am a female human mage, so my powers are cast by magic and spells. Dennis is a Night Elf hunter he fights with mele weapons and a pet Lion who is a bad ass. A group of 50 0f us decided we were going to the horde side, go into their base and take CONTROL so to speak. Now mind you toons go by levels. Levels 1 through 70. Example level 61 (Dennis) would be stronger then my level 8. We had about 5 ppl in the 60 levels, maybe 2 in 50, 10 or a little more in 40 then the rest were lower levels. We all meet in one place and were all hyped up to get over there and TAKE CONTROL!! YEAH!!! There we were 50 deep, no game plan, no direction, no REAL leadership but we were going. Each team consist of 5 ppl, the leader of that group and 4 ppl who are underlings. Muttons who was the ONLY level 70 was in our group. Now get this, I got killed half way there, lol, which is ok because you can still find your body and revive which I did. Dennis stayed near me to make sure when I came back no one killed me again because your life line is half full. On our way to were our team was I was watching the group I was in face panels. I saw dead, then a second later, dead, a moment later dead. Dennis im me and made a comment "2 ppl on my team is already dead". My eye brow raised as we got closer to the base. To my SHOCK our whole team was there getting slaughter lol. All I was seeing was hordes and alliances and ppl falling and ghost running. I was so busy laughing that I could hardly control myself. Now mind you, I SAID that we needed a game plan to Dennis but its not Denni raid so he just told me to let the person handle themselves. It was funny, I would revive then get killed, re vied get killed. We got our asses kicked so much that the leader was asking us if we wanted to pull out and go home. One person said we had lost the element of surprise. Of course you all know me and my smart mouth I said "Oh no there was an element of surprise, we were surprise they were so well grouped and we were getting our asses KICKED". Everything was funny to me, here we were getting all hyped up to go and take OVER!! Had to pick up our toys and go home. It reminded me of a football game when you all go to the other teams school talking about how your gonna own them and they end up owning YOU. On the way back to your school all the students who were yelling and screaming or now sitting in their sits quiet and thinking how the hell that happen. WOW!! you got to play it.
"DENA"S PUZZLE PIRATES"
I thought I would be playing Dena's "Puzzle Pirates" this weekend but wow took most of my time up so I didn't get a chance. I will be playing this week tho, so I can see what this is all about. I did have a chance to go in the game I think on Friday night. I made my toon and much to my surprise I had a little house. I saw a rat in the corner and started to kill him only to find out he was my "PET" lol. Hey you gotta love your pet. I am not up on "PP" yet but as soon as i play I will let you know how it was.
"TIN MAN"
hmmmmm, I saw 25 minutes of this and lost TOTAL interest. The main character who is I am assuming 'Dorothy" name is DD or DG. She I think is playing a 20 or 21 one year old but looks like she could pass for a younger 30 year old. (haven't been on imbd.com to see). I did DVD it so I will look maybe this week and hope that it can hold my interest long enough to tell you how bad it was ROFL!!!
"STONEFIRE GRILL"
New place for BBQ,. Denise and I had a salad from a place she refereed. The salad was great, a small gives you enough for 2 ppl. I found out Saturday that you can get a petite salad for one person. I also tried the tri tip and chicken on Saturday. All I can say is the salads are good LOL

10 Worst jobs in the world
Today per "AOL Market watch" I am going to list you the 10 WORST jobs in the world. Now mind you this is per AOL not per me, or you, or the person who picks up doggie poop. My job wasn't listed so I gave this article a YEAH RIGHT!! But it said "worst" not "stressful", anyway here is the list.

No. 2: Counter Attendants
Concentration of bad jobs:87.0 percentCounter attendants at cafeterias, food concessions, and coffee shops should make millions for what they deal with daily -- but they don't, so avoid these jobs.

No. 4: Fabric and Apparel Patternmakers

No. 5: Lifeguards

No. 6: Waiters and Waitresses

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Hello All, Just wanted to tell you briefly how my day went and to say Happy Thanksgiving before I went to sleep. My day started off with me working for 4 hours at my job. I had a few dummies call in. One really was a piece of work, cussing at me like I was his wife. Anyway, I assume many people are lonely and had nothing better to do but to call us and act stupid. I try to ignore those who are foolish. Well Victor took some boredom away while we were at work. He was given a new site where you can upload you and 3 friends photos and put them on the bodies of elf's. It's called go elf yourself by office max. Here's the link http://www.elfyourself.com/. It is a cool idea and you can send it as a greeting to family and friends for the holiday. Victor found out you can add your own greeting on it in your own voice (elf voice that is). Victor played with it for a little while as I looked over his desk and laughed.
The day wasn't really that bad tho, I left work at 2pm and went to have a late lunch at Sizzler. Either Sizzler has gotten a new cook or I was very hungry. Either way the food was really good. I got home around 4pm and really was not in he mood to do anything but lay down. I received a call from my son asking was I going to cook. When I told him no I could hear the disappointment in his voice. Half an hour later my sons best friend calls (who is like another son to me) and asked the same question. HOHUM!! I got up and went to he kitchen and started my Thanksgiving dinner at 7pm. Needless to say but I will anyway I finish cooking and we were sitting down to eat after 10pm. While I was cooking my son came in and said "You didn't have to get up and cook mom" YEAH RIGHT!! ADONUS!!! I rolled my eyes at him when he said that in an innocent voice. OK OK I will admit I was happy I got up to cook, the meal was good and my family seem to really appreciate it. Sinned aka Dennis finally looked at my blog and was playing the "get the glass game" The game really is fun you should try it. Any who I hope all of you had a wonderful and thankful day.

A new on line LIFE?
As you all know I am a big fan of online virtual worlds. Today while on yahoo I input virtual worlds to see if I could find something new. I found MTV's site, which is not new but there are new virtual worlds that they added. Much to my surprise they now have a virtual "Real World". Yes, you can actually learn in a virtual house, with other players in the virtual Real World. Also there is an upcoming virtual "Pimp my Ride". Can you believe it rofl. I was unable to get on the game to show you anything. I kept downloading it but it would not allow me to actually play. It is probably just as well that I can't. Here is the link if you want to check it out, www.vmtv.com/virtualrealworld.com . I did find a site I was able to download and play, it's called "Kaneva". I actually enjoyed playing it. I made a toon which was easy and simple. When I clicked to enter the world I went to my own little studio apartment. You can go to a mall and shop as well. (a lot like second life). I purchase a new outfit (you know I HAD TOO rofl). You can purchase credits to buy clothing and home decor. You can upgrade your home to a loft, a condo, or buy land to build. You can buy a deed for a cafe, club, and other hang out places. You can upload movies, videos, pictures, textures, etc to the game. The community is in beta right now so it's free to join. I did go to you tube to see if I could find a link for you to view the game. I found one that wasn't all that but at least you get an idea. Here is the link for the actually game: http://www.kaneva.com/home .kaneva Watch the video it can give you a little more info on the game. As soon as I am finish with my webpage for Kaneva I will share it with you.

The Vegan's Dog
I have this friend at work who is very passionate about being a Vegan. She has been telling me a lot about the reasons why she has decided to do this. I tease her a lot every day, but I do respect the fact she is doing something she truly believes in. I, myself could give a good hot damn about killing an animal for food, and or for clothing. I know, I know, but I was raised on MEAT. From the time I could walk up until now I enjoy steaks, pork chops, chicken, shrimp, EVERY DAMN THING LOL. I even like the feel of leather on my feet. I guess I am one of the bad ones. I would never buy or wear a fur coat tho. This is not because I can't afford one (btw I can't) but because I don't think spending major cash for an animals fur just to show off is not worth their life's. My thoughts come from my grandmother and my father. My grandmother would cook meat every morning with sausages, ham, bacon and even sometimes shrimp. Being from the south we eat grits with shrimp and even fish sometimes in the morning. Meat was a part of all my meals and always still are now as well. My father is a full blooded Seminole Indian and some of his beliefs still are strong in my head. He believes that you use all of the animal that you kill, and you kill for food, or clothing, not for sport. My friend did tell me of some of the living conditions. She said the mistreatment of them allowed her to make this decision. She feels concern and is feels very sorry for these animals. Facts are I am not going to change my life style because animals are mistreated. I KNOW!!!! what a bitch huh! But again as I said I do respect what she is doing and I will still tease the living hell outta her. HA!. I do want to share a photo tho, She came to the job Saturday with her little doggie. (oh she dresses her dogs in clothing.. IN CLOTHING), The dog is cute so I thought I would put her little face with this post.
Can you say CORNY!!!
This morning I was working on my blog and other online crap. I wanted to listen to some music so I went to youtude. I went to listen to "TI's What you know about that" and ran across this video called "What you know about Math' and click on. I actually viewed it from start to finish, NOT because it was a good video because it was corny. I feel this is a share share video people. VIEW BELOW!!

No Ho Zone
I had been trying to figure out what subject to talk about as my headliner today. As my son drove us home I kept thinking what happen of interest today. Facts are nothing did. But I did think about something that would be funny if not interesting. You see there is this female at my job. Let's call her by an initial "J" (the name has been withheld to protect me having to go to HR). HA!, anyway, "J" has a habit of flirting with half the guys in the office. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with some harmless flirting if that is who you are. (I use to be the same way per Dennis days). But with her it has gotten out of damn hand, it's so bad that when we see her we already know her reasons for coming by us. "J", from my understanding has already slept (wow the word slept seems so out of place here doesn't it) with several guys at the job. If the guy is cute and gives her a little attention she is on him like a June bug on a hound dog. (I have no damn clue what that means but it sounds funny as hell doesn't it). She, now is after one of the new guys who sits not too far from me. I guess if your going to be the office slut or whore I would suggest to make it less noticeable. Don't fall all over the damn guy, write him notes beg him to tex you. Suggestion please don't, say non clever crap like "I'm just using what god gave me". Come the hell on!! Listen , I am NO beauty queen but she has nothing that is so lavish that a man would turn upside down for. . But some guys are stupid and they do stupid things. They make stupid decisions and regret them for the rest of their life. As I said, there is nothing wrong with flirting, but show some class and some self control. Avoid being looked at like the Town harlot. There was another office slut who is no longer with the company. She is still talked about on a daily. (Hell I just gossiped about her 2 days ago and probably will again tomorrow since I heard what I did tonight about her). All I can say is get a grip on the reality of it all. Maybe her self esteem is low or maybe she just doesn't care what anyone thinks about her. OR, maybe she is just so damn clueless she doesn't realize almost EVERYONE is talking about her behind her back. I mean I have been a party to the office gossip as well, but when it's me it's not because I have no control over what I am doing. I really don't care what she does, I just wish she keep her ass away from where we sit. It's annoying, disruptive and it getting old. She has this need to be seen, need to be heard and need to have guys pay her some sort of attention and others suffer for it. Now she isn't the ONLY one tho. I have notice when people first get hired they seem to walk in scoping out who they want to get with. It's like they have homing device zeroing them on males or females. They don't care if the person is married, dating, as long as it's opposite sex they go for it. I thought it funny when one of the new guys clearly was talking about a girl who walked pass. He said and I quote "I would love to Screw her" end quote. He was sitting with another rep, listening to phone calls and that was his thought process. Don't you come to work, to work, it's not a place to hook up and get a Booty call . I swear I am debating on getting a sign that says "No Hoe Zone". HA! I know I shouldn't give a good hot damn, but when I see females no matter how stupid they seem to be, or ARE!! it makes me want to slap them down and shake them and say "WAKE UP DUMMY!! DON'T YOU SEE EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT YOU" or maybe I should just look up and ask the lord to "SMITE THEM!! SMITE THEM!!
On a lighter, much happier note we (my husband, son and I) went to dinner tonight at Buenos Aires with my son, my treat. I had a rib eye steak medium well, mash potato's and a green salad with vingerette dressing (not that you care but hey doesn't it sound good). The reason I brought this up was because there is a TV at the restaurant. You can't hear it but you can watch it. While we were there "Cavemen" was on, I had heard there was a show for them but never watched it. I saw it on it's last scene and as the credits were about to roll. Now what got me was it switch scenes and there were 4 guys getting in a car. Across the scene it read "Carpoolers". So my first thought was this must be a commercial about a new car. As I kept glancing up I realize this was not a commercial this was an actual SERIES. I could not believe that someone took TIME out and make a series about car poolers. WTF could be so damn interesting about 4 dimwits carpooling. I went home and got on http://www.imdb.com/ and look up and here reads the plot. Plot Outline:A group of guys who carpool to work together from their suburban homes. YOU saw it straight from imdb website. 'The Plot". I seriously and making it my business to watch this next week. I can not see where taking a car to work each morning and back home could have any comedy relief from it. I knew of the actors the car of "Carpoolers". It was Jerry O'Connell from "stand by me", "Sliders", "Scream part 2", "Jerry McQuire" and all that sort of stuff like that there. Oh yeah and he is married now to Rebeca Romijin (you remember her, she is Mystic of Xmen and was once married to JOHN STAMOS of full house. She is now Mrs. Jerry O'Connell, Jerry damn O'Connell from John Stamos. ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! sorry I just had to get that laugh out of my system. Anyway I am making it a point to watch this show next week. I know it comes on Tuesday just not sure of the time or channel, but, I will find out. As I said, I have to see what in the hell could really be funny about four men going to work because for what I kept seeing when I glanced up it was 95% of the program. YES 95% they were in a car driving and talking. WHO KNEW!! **************************************** Before I forget there is a new place that delivers food. It's called http://www.labites.com/ the difference is there is a list of restaurants you can pick and choose from. The food is good, it can get cold if they are busy with deliveries. But it can get expensive, suggestion, do not order when you are hungry hungry, unless you have self control. Which I don't lol.
