Reading, seeing and hearing Part 2

And you haze me about REAL coffee?! Hey, I got news for you, dc, at least my 1/2 n 1/2 and raw sugar are acceptable additions to actual coffee. Hazelnut and French Vanilla?? That's not real coffee! That's like saying Diet Pepsi is real Pepsi. Or, closer to home for you, that blackberry merlot is actually a wine. OMG. You have the mendacity to ridicule my wine choices while sipping cups o' crap? Methinks you need a serious intervention. . .such as being kidnapped, held in a room, and deprogrammed.

Listen D!!!

Why don't you take that hoity-toity stick out of your butt and come back to planet Earth, 'K????



And another thing!!!

I would NEVER say diet Pepsi is like real Pepsi. 'Cause it's BETTER!!!

Oh, that's a fine sentiment coming from a Borg! I'm beginning to feel like I'm the Kevin McCarthy character in INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. People, wake up! They're coming to get us! For now, dearest dc, I must away. Places to go, people to see (better not get up or you might lose your seat, _____.). Ciao!

I have a better riddle: why in blazes do companies place their wares in such hard to open packages?!? Ever tried to open one of those little cereal boxes anymore? You know, the ones that come eight to a package with a variety of sugar-daze inducing grain byproducts? Used to, a child could use his fingernail to open the flat side and pour the milk in to make a bowl of the box itself. Now? Takes an adult using a surgical tool to slice open that puppy. What? Do they think someone is going to steal a handful of Froot Loops in the store?? And another thing, do they not make easy to open milk cartons anymore? Either you get the type with the old peel-back method that has been sealed with glue so strong that they should use it to stick the tiles on the space shuttle and the resulting opening process involves shredding the top or slicing the freakin' top off OR you get the kind with the little circular pull tab that takes the strength of at least 3 Maelstromers and when it finally does pop off, half the milk flies out with it. Don't even get me started with the hard plastic shrink wrap that requires an acetylene torch to cut open THEN the item within is further twist-tied to cardboard backing as to approximate someone (for grins, let's just say scoob) wrapped in a straitjacket. I have long told wifey, if I EVER meet someone who was responsible for the poor packaging epidemic in a dark alley, I'm putting Star Trek Kirk whooping on his or her can-can. . .

Boy do you ever sound like the whiney guy on 60 minutes.

Morning All!!!


Welcome to the newbies!!! Have we become Methodists?

Tink my girl, I hope you feel better

Firck - Stop talking about working out at the crack of dawn

Dog - I usually stay out of the line of fire with the playthings BUT
Don't be dissing my Diet Pepsi!!!!!!!!!!!! or my Hazelnut Coffee, and I happen to like Boones Farm Strawberry Hill, (does it come in a box yet???)))). Don't you have a lovely little girl. Go buy her a Barbie. See how many twisties they use to keep her in the package.

Lacto - I love that you have milk intolerance. Pass your ice cream to me

I pick up Horsey on Friday - so 72 hours - 18 for sleeping = 54 hours till mini meet starts. Everybody

Morning Peeps! I have not had more than one or two cocktails in three months. Okay they were doubles and pretty much did me in....so what is going to happen to me when we go to the wineries? I'm just askin'.....Ash baby, we will call. Pre-winery or post? Grammy, do you have a car seat for me. I am rather small and child-like (as several others are here...) and need one....

Pooh, for the love of lotion, I think you could post leather woman here. I think she did have a top on!

Welcome drebert! Like your avatar. You clearly have spunk women. Bet you turn that Lacto into whipped cream regularly.

Sleepdoggydog, a bit whiney, baby, but I know what you mean and you did make me laugh, which is saying something these days...I think the hard plastic packaging on cheap electronics is by far the worst. I never could open milk cartons. I do not find them any differnet than when I was in the second grade. I was traumatized as a child when it wouldn't open properly and I would dribble chocolate milk all over my clothes at school....and on my chin. I hate that. Ick, milk chin.

Java, would you read all my manuals on my new cell phone, ipod and camcorder. I have yet to maximize the potential of any of my toys....

Tinky- mother of prodigy, hope you are okay.

All my other babies, hello!

 

[paslea_pooh]

Got run the 5 year old to the Dr. again. Still having tummy troubles. Montezuma's hanging on tight to this one !!!

Andy Rooney. We're third cousins, twice removed. . .only he looks cuter. . .and has more money. . .and a TV show. . .

 

[sheridac]

He may think he's not but he is. Already. I'm just sayin'.

Aren't you supposed to be working on my painting??!!

And.

HALEY!!!

Most excellent blog entry today!! Everyone tell the truth now!!!

 

[AshClan]

....Ash baby, we will call. Pre-winery or post?

Either is good. I'll be available all day! Girls night out that evening, Margaritas and Mexican Food....and I would be happy to talk to you then, as well!! (My friend Joanne is a big Horsey TR fan. She'd love to hear your drunk little voice!!) Just be sure y'all have a designated driver on the vineyard tour!

Pooh, hope your lil one is better quickly. That jerk Montezuma sometimes just doesn't know when to go! Hope the doc can fix her up for real this time!!

Sleepydog, tried to open any CDs lately? Now THAT's fun!! I am so glad my kids are past the age of toys. Some of those suckers are just impossible to get out of the package. (Especially when you have a little one jumping up and down and trying to grab at it! THEN, of course, you have to put the batteries in.) Don't miss those days!!

Minnie! Hope you feel better soon. THEN get those pics over here!!

Thanks everyone for making me feel welcome. I have felt like one of you for a long time. ( I was a lurker!(gasp!))

PasleaPoohI do not have a milk intolerance, at least not yet! Only when he ticks me off!
My name (drebert) is something I acquired from my demented sibs. And yes, I do remember Q-bert.

Horsegirl I have lots of spunk! It is required to be married to a preacher man! You have to put up with lots of crap!!! (Or is it Holy Crap?)

 

[LaLa]

Hey Maelstromers...


Grammy's right. The cereal box thing has NOTHING on trying to get the kids' toys of out their boxes. How many frustrating twisty ties does it take to make sure a twenty dollar doll stays put? Much less a five dollar one? And why do they always weave them through places like the battery compartment door? It's almost enough to make ya wanna cuss on Christmas morning.

Ash, ITA. I got the new Little Big Town CD the other day just for the one song on there that's actually any good and it took me a total of 15 minutes to get into the darn thing. It was worth it though. I love that song. Track 4. Check it out.

So yall crazies are meetin this weekend huh? Yall have fun and don't drink TOO much wine. I know yall will have a blast. Take pics and post them. Maybe you should take the pics BEFORE the wine. We do wanna keep this puppy alive.

Speaking of which, JAMI. That was cool, the facts about M1 and M2. Shelby too. Although I think Shelby's math may have been a little fuzzy. I could have sworn we talked about ZZUB more than that.

(((KISS)))) (((SLAP)))) (((SLURP))))

Everybody have a great day!

La2 out.

TINK!!!

All done and on its way back to you baby!!

Take it for what it's worth, or not. No harm, no foul!!

Hi all, not ignoring you, really I'm not just real busy at work covering for people on vacation and busy with summer at home. LYMI

 

[latoberg]

I agree that there is a ludicrous amount of packing on objects these days. (It used to be that stores protected valuable items behind plexiglass/glass/displays...anybody remember 8-track cases with the holes in the plexiglass). Then we became the culture of instant gratification (must take thing I want off shelf now). So to save the customer the hassle of ASKING for something, the manufacturer provides protection for the store owner, passing on the expense to the consumer.

Sorry, that was rant-ish. I don't know who I was ranting at, though.

But the purpose was to say this: get a sharp, pointy thing to cut through the plastic and then get some wirecutters to cut through the twisty thingies. Every Christmas morning, I pull out the presents and then pull out the tool belt. Saves many papercut/plastic cuts and lots of cursing at toy makers everywhere.
