Random Thoughts

Thanks. That's my baby nephew last year. What should I dress him as this year?

Dang...he's cute!!!

did you get a new stapler? there is a stapler at staples that is awesome it may be an electric stapler, but you barely touch it and it staples so easily.

No, I'm a cheapskate. I got a regular Swingline that you grip in one hand. It was on sale. The other kind is really bulky, too, and I needed something I could toss in my bag for school when the occasion called for it.

But I also got a tape dispenser. I'm tired of searching for my tape all the time. The crazy part is that the actual dispenser (the basic 3M desk kind, like you see everywhere) was only $3-something, but the tape refills were something like $9 for a package of about 8.

The girl at the checkout desk asked me if I was opening a business. I looked at her a second and said, "No. Actually, I'm shutting one down." But then I told her I was going to be teaching, and she gave me 10% off. Pretty cool.

Does anyone watch the show Brothers and Sisters? I can't believe Lyle Lovett and Chevy Chase both were on there tonight.

Yeah, I watch it. I couldn't believe it either...love Chevy.

How can they allow non-service dogs & cats on planes when so many people are allergic?

I'm not allergic, so I just get annoyed with the owner when the dog is barking most of the flight (probably 'cuz his ears hurt) and being a trip hazard in the terminal, but I know many folks who would be in agony if the person next to them had a cat.

I'm highly allergic to cats and I'd have to object to any cats flying on a plane with me.

i can't stand joan rivers and melissa.

Why don't services stations offer a lower octane gas for those trying to save money and think engine knock is rather musical?

It is interesting that the Today show, which just featured a guy talking about the massive amounts of calories in restaurant foods, is now featuring Christmas with Paula Deen, she's the one whom I refer to as the "Butter Lady." She has a counter full of high-calorie desserts and is stuffing her face. The same host who just interviewed the calorie counting guy is hosting this segment, too, probably in a state of shock.

What's the Vegas line on who dies first from a heart attack, Emeril "let's drown everything in olive oil" Lagasse, or Paula "I use butter as a toothpick" Dean. I say Dean may expire during a taping one day. I'll bet they have so much invested in her, there are shocking paddles on the set.

you're probably right, but I hope not. Paula DEEN.

I don't know which one will go first, but the odds are great that both are at high risk of heart disease and or diabetes.

Butter and olive oil are still better for you than most of the chemicals in processed foods! (Obviously moderation is good though.)

I'll take a little extra butter over whatever the oil alternative was they came up w/ a couple years ago that had the lovely potential side effect of "leakage"!

you're probably right, but I hope not. Paula DEEN.

oh yeah Deen, and she looks like a very rich ole butter beeeeeen.

Oh Bob and pea...I made thsoe special brownies that pea gave me in sowal over Thnksgiving. One egg. I will listen to anything you two say from now on...they were the bestest! Give me the brand name, please.

I cook with olive oil as my choice of fat most often, but sometimes use butter, but I don't throw in a block of butter into every dish, like Paula "I brush my teeth with butter" Deen.

Just go to any Dallas/Ft.Worth Costco...they're next to the shotgun shells, electric chair replacement fuses, and brisket tenderizer.
