The Super Pac ads have arrived. They make disparaging claims against whoever and I'm sure they cost BIG BUCKS.
What a waste. Have they not noticed that every candidate will sooner or later shoot himself in his own foot? Or should I say "take one for the team?" Yes, Ric Santorum, bang,bang, you shot yourself down.
Oh and Mitt Romney is doing the same thing. He was stupid enough to tell the people in Detroit that his wife drives two count them two Cadillacs! Beside his truck and car. They drive American which is great but they have four cars in an economy where A LOT of people in Detroit and the surrounding areas don't have jobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ron Paul said that Santorum was presented as a jerk because he is one. Bye Bye, Ron.
And don't get me started on Newt. Come on now every other time he opens his mouth he says something stupid. He seems hell-bent on losing.
So SuperPacs stop wasting your time on advertisements. Why don't you give all that cash to charity instead?

Good Bye to an Old Friend
The first one of my peers passed away this week. I cannot express the shock and sadness I feel. She had a full life, a husband who worshipped her, children and grandchildren but she was still taken too soon.
I remember her as a fun loving, risk taking, optimistic woman who always had a smile on her face. She was intense and driven.
I haven't seen her in a really long time. Really long. But the sadness I feel is genuine for an old friend and a friendship that helped me through some tough times.
Our old group is down by one and I guess I thought that would never happen, well at least not for a long,long time.
So here's to old friends, past and present friends and friends we've yet to meet.
RIP Carlene.

Grammys 2012
Let's just say it's not fun getting older. The Beach Boys are now the Beach Old Farts. Paul McCartney looked like he was going to stand up and the young wife started to jump up with him to hold him up I'm guessing. Poor Glenn Campbell has Alzheimer's disease. Diana Ross isn't a skinny little stick anymore and Cyndi Lauper is a little long in the tooth for her unique style of clothes.
The Beach Boys made me downright sad. I sure hope some of those kids like Chris Brown don't try to recreate their songs in 50 years. They'll kill themselves!!
If you need any more evidence that I am right check out the pics below.

Too bad she wasn't waving goodbye.

OMG
I just have to say this. Jimmy DiMora got all kinds of money and favors and even hookers and he can't even buy his wife a decent coat.
Look at the pictures. She is in something from Kmart and he looks like an Italian(no offense) Don.
She has to suffer through the embarassment of her husband's trial and even link arms with him and she has to do it in that coat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a travesty. I'm just sayin'.

Farewell to Thee
Vicki(Erika Slezak) and I had our babies at the same time...her real kids not her soap kids. I cried with them and laughed and got scared even.
Was it ever highbrow? Not on your life. It was fun escapism, harmless and engaging. I couldn't watch during the school year(before VCRs and Tivoing) but I always caught up on my breaks and over the summer. It wasn't hard to do.
Once I retired, I watched every day....ffing through the commercials. One Life has always been my favorite of them all.
They tackled social issues and talked about mammograms and DID. They had paternity test switches and family upheaval.
Oh, I have to reinvent my afternoons now. I know I'll find something engaging to do but I'll miss all my friends in Llanview, PA.
Really???
I have a pet peeve at the stores now. Everyone who works there always says hello and how are you even if they just pass you by. Sometimes they even ask you if they can help you find something when you are just browsing.
I am kind of a shy person and I don't want to talk to a bunch of strangers. Maybe I'm just rude but I really dislike it. I just want to shop and be done with it. I'll chat with the person who checks me out no problemo, but not every employee in the store!
Well, guess what just happened to me? I was browsing through the Disney store on line and suddenly a box popped up and said that a Disney cast member would be happy to help me find what I was looking for. OMG!! I can't even browse on line now without being interrupted? My last vestige of peace and quiet while shopping!!
I'm surprised that it wasn't an animated icon, after all it was Disney. At least it wouldn't have been a little entertaining and not just annoying.
So, I guess I have to stop shopping..........................oh, sure. Like that's going to happen.

You Can Read This One
Ha! I am really getting driven crazy by the television ads lately...or should I say again. I have one that I love to hate more than any other. It is for the Ohio Lottery and there is this OBNOXIOUS woman who says that the Ohio Lottery Show is Aaawesoomme(awesome). I wish I could record that voice and play it here for you. If you wanted to drive someone mad, it would be a cinch with that one sentence. Plus she is all smiles like she's really cool and all proud of herself.
If I met that woman on the street I would have to slap the crap out of her....only in my imagination of course. If I really met her I would probably be a big suck up because she was on TV and is a "celebrity." I'd probably tell her she did a great job or I love her commercial or wouldn't be able to speak. I get really nervous around celebrities.
My daughter used to work as an actress in a Medieval Faire when she was in college and I could barely speak to the other actors--especially the king or the queen or someone who put on a show by themselves. It must be some kind of self esteem issue. I'm just glad she never ended up in Hollywood-I would have been struck dumb!
On the other hand, I would love to meet the guy who is in the insurance ads who wreaks havoc wherever he goes. I love that guy! Did you see him as the Christmas tree? He always has on a suit and all those bandages on his head. It cracks me up. I loved him from the first--when he was the teenage girl who hit a car in the parking lot. What a riot. I'd hope I wouldn't be tongue tied with him. I feel like I already know him.
I've never done well with strangers. When my kids were little and we had to enter a room of people we kinda knew or didn't know at all, they always went first and then I only had to say I was their mother. It worked well for someone who is shy in new situations.
Most people who know me would think I am the opposite of shy. The key word here is "know". I am outgoing and friendly for the most part--unless I am unsure of my status and then I become shy.
I'm betting the Ohio Lottery babe is anything but shy. Maybe I should look her up...as long as I could suppress that slap instinct!
