She's easy going, but......

Before I get on topic, I want to give due credit to Ty Romsa for his awesome pictures, visit his gallery and see some of his fantastic art..I thought his pictures really captured the essence of the woman I write about in this post!!



So sweet and easy going!!

Do you know anyone that maintains they are easy to get along with and then they proceed to list the stuff that really annoys them....I was having a conversation with one of 'those people" just the other day and while"she" was taking the time to point the annoying little idiosyncrasies that really get on her nerves, she continued to believe that she is easy to get along with...as long as you:

Don't wiggle your foot or move any part of your body in her direct sight line to the television screen.

Don't slurp your tea, even if it's burning hot, slurping is annoying. Swallow the "hot molten liquid" quietly, please!!


When she's thinking, don't talk, How do you know when she's thinking? When she's not talking to you, she's thinking, she's thinking.... What did I do to deserve this??

Don't whistle or hum to yourself, it annoys her.


Don't Snore !! Wake UP, Your snoring.

No matter how congested your sinuses are, don't snort or make any of those phlegmy sounds that tend to happen when your sick and have a runny nose....SHE doesn't like it.

Don't rub your sore knees, even if it feels good to heat up those tired joints in the morning with a little friction, rubbing your knees rubs HER the wrong way.

Keep the speakers in front of the car off...it bothers her...stupid!

Don't raise your voice to the dog, even if the dog makes slurping noises when it drinks, barks at nothing and farts wherever it wants.."She's" a good dog and apparently held at a higher level than most humans.

Don't pick at your nails, skin or nose.



When you are talking and that little piece of spittle dances around in the corner of your mouth...FIX IT...it's gross.


Don't pace around when you are talking on the phone, that annoys her and everyone else in the room.

Oh, there's more but hey "She's" easy going and so I'm gonna go find a blackboard and scrape my nails down it...it won't bother her.

She's Easy Going!!

What's on your DVR ??

It's a busy couple of weeks coming up. We have a snowstorm headed toward us this Thursday and another one looking very nasty next week. It's April !!

My posts may become less frequent over the next couple weeks as I am taking on some good sized painting jobs and I must finish up with the Database I've set up for the new Histology Lab I've been working on...Not only did I paint the lab, but I wrote the database to keep track of all the lab work...I'm AMAZING!! Yes, I have to say that to myself ever once in awhile as I'm not getting a lot of, "Positive Strokes" as management like to refer to them.

So I'll get home, tired but with the need to turn the TV on and look through my DVR Recordings and watch my shows...I'm wondering...What's Your Favorite Television Drama...If I haven't put it on the Poll mention it in the comment section.

You get ONLY ONE VOTE




In fact I want your comments any way..Maybe you don't watch TV and spend all your time drinking, gambling running around with nefarious characters...if so, I WANT IN...

Where's Mimi Clark??

Okay, it's got to be said..I watch too much TV. There I said it.

Now I'm going to write about it, or more accurately, I'm going to write about a show that I've been watching loyally and I must say I'm getting tired of it.

Jericho, a show on CBS that airs on Wednesday nights. It's a post-apocalyptic drama set in Jericho, Kansas. I watch as they elected a total nitwit as Mayor, follow the life of an adulteress son and his booze peddling mistress. Watch as his jilted wife, the towns Doctor, dies with a baby inside her. The other brother who seems to have the tools to be successful in this post apocalyptic world but never seems to use them...Overall the characters in the show make me wish the Bomb had fallen on Jericho If the writing doesn't get any better it should get hit by the Ratings bomb and never be heard from again.

The one bright note is the character Mimi Clark, ironically she's my favorite and she plays a IRS agent. Comical in that I am not a fan of the IRS.


Alicia Copolla..aka Mimi Clark

Took me forever to find her on the Jericho Site, she's not listed with the cast members...I did later find her in the supporting cast members. CBS better wake up and write an episode for her. The character she portrays is funny and smart...something you cannot say about any of the other characters, apart from her love interest, Stanley Richmond who was recently sent off to another town to work off some debts.

If you wanna see more of Mimi tell CBS

If I've said anything that upsets you or makes you angry, or by some miracle you agree with please feel free to comment!!

Don't Upset The Bunny

Easter Bunny Spotted, Not Where You'd Expect



The Easter Bunnies car was spotted early this morning outside of a local watering hole. The Bunny was nowhere to be seen. "A person who was there" last night said the Bunny was stumbling around and making lewd comments to some of the female patrons and waitstaff. The Bar Manager called him a cab and he and his cohorts left the bar at 1:30 am..One only hopes he can sober up in time to get the baskets delivered!!

It's the big day

Happy Birthday to ME!

My horoscope today:

On one hand, you are vitalized by the Moon's entry into fiery Sagittarius and are inspired to think big. On the other hand, however, your key planet Mars slips into the dreamy world of Pisces where reality can mysteriously blend with fantasy. Nevertheless you remain enthusiastic, even if you don't know exactly where you are going. Patience will serve you better than blindly pushing forward now.

Not very specific, but it seems ok. I like the whole reality/fantasy blend. I am still jumping for joy that my ruling planet isn't PLUTO...Imagine being ruled by a Dwarf!!


Zamfir and I share a birthday so I am gonna imagine him on one of his infomercials playing Happy Birthday on his funny looking flute thingy.

PJ's Birthday and a little on Voodoo



HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PATRICK, He's 16 today and next thing I know he'll be driving a car!!!


My sister has recently been given a Voodoo Doll as a gift from a friend, I received one once from my son. My sister's friend and my son both knew when they were giving these dolls away that they would help to direct our intense feelings toward a particular person, in my sister's case a former Boss, in mine a former Girlfriend, toward the doll and not the actual person. In my case it was great therapy.

After dressing my doll up a bit and naming it I followed the directions on stabbing the doll in different ways and wishing intense stomach disorders upon "her". I tired of this rather quickly and finally positioned "her" under the leg of my couch...Each day when I entered my living room I saw "her" gut being driven into the floor and "her little arms and legs"pointing up and it made me laugh...

I needed that laugh!!


Years later I threw her into the ocean just off my porch and watched her sink..It was a beautiful summer day .

I don't think about her much anymore...except when I read the Boston Globe Obituaries...Just on the slight chance that she might make the list!!


So now my sister has one and I hope she finds a place where she can impale her doll so that it helps her to laugh and makes her feel better.

What would you do to your Voodoo Doll, if you had one?
