Greetings from the Wild Side

Well, I said I would not need to take another cruise. I was wrong. Going to the western Caribbean for 7 days. One of the things on my bucket list, is to swim in water that is so clear I can see the shark getting ready to bite my butt. Hopefully this trip will allow me to mark that one of my list. I've gone sky diving, gone to Europe, going to swim in the clear water and that just leaves a torrid affair with Frank Langella. Woof! Fell in love with him in the Dracula movie. Other than that I need someone to add to my bucket list. I don't know what I'm missing I guess.

Grumble

Why is getting old coming on so fast? I don't remember starting to ache in the mornings. I got up one morning and there it was, an ache that went from my lower spine to my ankles. Now it's playing hard to fortell. One day it is the ankles next it is a hip or a shoulder. One moring it was my teeth and hair. I don't have a clue how one's hair can hurt. Gravity has taken over, along with all the abuse done to my body back when I was 19. Oh well, it was fun at the time and that's what all those expensive meds are for, to make me feel better. They don't work, Grumble

Not a Happy Camper

Is anyone else confused about the election? I can't seem to find anyone worth voting for, can you? Nobody running on an environment issue. Can't we find a woman in the 40 billion or so in the last 8 years who would sleep with Georgie boy so we could impeach him? I live where they are tearing up the woodland and putting up ugly boxes (see Eagles: Last Resort). There are lots of good houses, better than the ones they are building that are for sale or forclosed which would be the better buy, but are they selling? NNNNOOOOO! Why are children now days so horrible. No manners, no concern for others or anything around them, and I'm tired of seeing young men's butts. They aren't nice looking anyway. What is with emaciated young men? Is that supposed to be sexy? Why do women in Wal-Mart wear clothes that are for a 9 year old and they weigh in at a little over 200 pounds. Not a nice view, no stretch pants...PLEASE! DRIVING WARNING If you're going to pull out in front of me, even though the road is empty for miles behind me then....GET GOING AND GET OUT OF MY WAY! Don't throw trash out of your window of your car. You're showing the world that you ARE trash. Don't bury your finger up to the third knuckle in your nose, while either driving or at a stop light. I have a weak stomach, and please don't eat it. I'm talking to the last four adults I saw doing this at a stop light near here. And to clerks in the South..it is 42 centS not 42 cent. More gumbles later
