Rednecks Rule!!!

Keep this one going!!!!!

Dear Sun Chips.....

Your new bags annoy the crap out of me. First of all they are way too loud. Seriously. Sometimes you just don't want to be reminded by a loud crackly noise every time you keep reaching for more chips. It is comparable to a fingernails on the blackboard type of noise. Maybe I should list this as a positive point because the bag is actually helping to remind you that you really don't need these chips in the first place. Second, the bags just plain feel weird. It feels like somebody has wrapped your chips in a present or something. It kind of creeps me out knowing that the protective covering over my chips could potentially disintegrate at any moment..... not that it could really happen, but still......Third, I think you are possibly participating in false advertising. To your average consumer, you make it sound like the bag is simply going to disappear in the local town dump after a few weeks have passed. You have to read between the lines to get the message that the consumer is expected to go put it in their compost heap and layer it with soil so that all the little microbes, the sun , and rain can make it disappear. You are sneaky like that Sun Chips.... really sneaky!

This would be my cue to leave.......

It always amazes me to see people driving towards a tornado when it is so obviously right in front of them. In this video, watch the cars headed towards the tornado and then all of the sudden, they put on their brakes like "Maybe I should not be going in the direction that I am currently headed in". My first impulse is to get the hell out of dodge.... stat! I got involved in the edge of a tornado near Hillsboro, TX about 12 years ago while driving down I-35 in a blinding rainstorm and let me tell you... sheer terror!! The problem was that it was so dark outside we could not see it coming at us. I was lucky to have come out of it alive. My mom was driving us back to San Antonio from a horse show and I was sitting in the passenger seat holding my little dog. We were out in the middle of nowhere and it was dark and raining so hard that you could not see five feet in front of you. Luckily we were going pretty slow at the time because all of the sudden, the car came to a complete stop (sending my little dog into the dashboard of the car) and the tornado spun us around several times and pushed us over to the edge of the interstate. The sounds from the wind were deafening and debris/hail was pounding the car but oddly it was all over in a flash. Luckily nobody was hurt (including the dog) and we were able to get turned around and back on the road. As we went further down I-35, you could see the path that the tornado had taken. There was destruction everywhere...twisted light posts, bent highway signs, snapped trees. Not something I would like to experience again.

Thank You God, Family, Friends, and Myself.......

for not letting me ever take up smoking, drinking (in excess ;), or recreational drugs of any kind. I mean this from the bottom of my heart. Volunteer work can sometimes show you a side of human life that is not pretty and it is amazing how much hardship in life is connected to addictive vices that are difficult to give up once they catch ahold of you. So sad................ And now on to our regularly scheduled program......

Hopefully it ends after three strikes....

My week so far.....
1. My lawn mower blew up------- $300 Ka-ching!!!

2. I hit a water pipe with my golf cart... water everywhere---- Ka-ching!!! $30 in parts and a big pain in the ass. Actually, having to hear about my hitting the water pipe over and over and over from "others" was the most annoying part.

3. Driving down the road minding my own business when a brick (Yes, a brick!!!) falls off of a landscaping trailer several cars ahead of me, hits the hood of the Lexus in the next lane over, and then whacks my front headlight (a total loss), and then moves on to the car behind me. It took all of my strength to remain calm and not have a big hissy fit/total meltdown.------ $425 in repairs. Ka-ching! Ka-ching!

I just KNOW it has to get better!!!!!!
