One leg and no sex...

Got your attention?
Good.

As you all know, I deal with all types of People on a daily bases. Have been for many years. I like it. Keeps me on my toes. But somehow someway, the weird ones find me. I dont know how it happens it just does. Always telling me things that one should NEVER share with a stranger.
So yestorday a man walks into the store to drop off his item and I ask the same question I ask everyone... How's your day? This opens me up for a great conversation, that I will now share with you....I feel If I had to hear it, then many many others should have to, too.

How's your day?
Man: "Well I cant get a date. Seems there is no one that wants to date me."
Sure there is...you'll find someone.
Man: "No. Because woman these days want two things. A man that can be active outside and someone to have sex with."
-silence-
"since I have a prostatice leg and Dont want to have sex, noone wants to date me. Im just looking for a compainion"
I can understand that. Don't worry sir, you'll find someone.
Man: "My wife ,who died 5 years ago, didn't care that we didn't have sex. Why is that all woman want?"
I'm sorry to hear about your wife, but trust me you'll find someone.
Man: "Do you know what the bible says about having sex?"
(thinking I would nail this one) Yes its for procreation not recreation.
Man: (slams hand on counter top) "NO! its just for fun and we should not do it. If god wanted you to have a child then he will give you one if you have sex or not."
-silence and shock-
Man: "I was died on a table for 8 hours and I talked to god about this. And that's what he told me. My wife, whom brought me back to life, was ok with is. I go round and round with my Cathlic Priest about this. But I know more then he does, because I've talked to god and He has only listened to him."
-still shocked and saying nothing. just a friendly smile-
Man: "And I knew I should come in here today, because god told me that I should be telling this to you."

so there you have it. He felt he should share this with me and I felt I should share it with you.

What is this?

Thanks for all your help with the Lavender. I found online that I can cook with it. Mainly for jelly and sweet things and to use lavender instead of rosemary when cooking chicken.


Then there the medical uses..the oil will help headaches and bug bites. We all know it smells good and is great for the bath or potpourri to calm nerves. I even found how to make soap!




Here's another one for you... Can anyone tell from the top of this what it is? It had a bulb bottom. kind of looked like garlic...

Need someone to talk to?

Most people can't stand telemarketers. Let alone think of BEING a telemarketer.
I'm actual pretty good at it and like doing it.
At this time in my life, I'm not selling anything over the phone, I'm simply calling to remind people to do something. Which cost them money. So most of my calls are short and sweet. (See these people know why I'm calling and what to give us money.) Rarely do I get someone that's rude or unhappy with us.
Since the service I offer deals a lot with older people, I find out that the spouse is no longer living. This brings me to one of my last phone calls of the day.

after 30 to 35 straight phone calls and lunch time creeping up, I was ready to speed past my calls and get back to reading my book.

I dial. It rings. rings. rings again, then...Hello?
after stating who I was and why I was calling The voice said...
"Thanks for calling,but I wouldn't be needing that this year. My husband pasted away 10 months ago. And I'm stuck here between a river and a mountain. I'm 89 and don't drive anymore."
I say I'm very sorry to hear about your husband and thank her for her time.
She said..."I don't get may calls. Maybe once a week or so. I'm sorry.I just miss talking to someone."
After telling her I'd talk to with her all day if she wanted to, She asked my name and where I was from.

We talked for 20 Min's about Her kids and grand kids, my family, work and the weather. It was nice. comfortable not forced.

I hope it blighted her day, It did mine.

Movie Review Time.



  1. Sweeney Todd - All in All it was a good movie. I'm sure the play was better (they always are) But Tim Burton did a great job bringing it to the big screen. A musical that keeps on killing. A+

  2. No Country for Old men - This movie started out pretty good. It was adventurous and thrilling. Then, with 20 minutes left It dropped off the side of the earth. Did the writers go on strike? What happened? Nothing. It just ended. Badly. Why did this win so many awards? I just don't get it.C-

  3. 3:10 to Yuma - Now here's a Western anyone will love. It had all the right stuff. It kept me locked in with Thrills and Chills. It was even heartfelt. A++


There are 2 more movies waiting for me at home. So after I watch 'em I'll tell you what I think.

Great Pork Recipe Coming your Way!


Put your pork chops in a skillet with enough oil to cover the bottom of Pan, but not to cover the pork. add some Onions and Red peppers.
Cover. Let cook till browned.

Add in some teriyaki sauce and Brown Sugar.
Cover. Let cook for 10 mins.

Add in cubed Pineapples - not the juice.
Cover.Let cook another 10 mins.

With Rice, bread and a salad... This is great!

mystery Herb


Ah my garden.

To bad it rained today and I cant work out there.


I'm still trying to find out what Herb is growing next to my Rosemary and parsley.
I've smelt everyone of my caned Herbs and
can't tell.
From what I read online. I think is Lavender.
Can you eat that?
I should Google that...
in other events...gas prices are high, ecomony sucks, and more rainy day's are in store.
But SPRING is here and summer is right behind it!
TIME TO SPRING CLEAN!
im going to host a yard sale the end of April first of may. I cant wait to get rid of all this junk.
When you marry someone, you suddanly have 2 or 3 of everything. We've been married and lived together long enough- its time to sale this stuff!
hope someone wants it...
