I remember the summer vacations of my childhood and the days spent in a wonderful place called Rockport.  Nearly every July of my childhood, my maternal grandparents, Joe and Ethel Sneed would rent a house in (Key Allegro) Rockport.  The Sneed offspring and their offspring would spend a wonderful month together in our "summer home". We grandkids were kept in line for the preceding weeks with threats of not being able to go if we didn't behave.  Even the adults...

Throughout my 40-something years of life, I can count on one hand the friends I've had that I considered "best friends".  Those who loved me warts and all: My childhood friend Kara - we met in the 2nd grade and were inseperable for years.  Even when she moved away, there were regular letters exchanged back and forth.... in the summer, she would come spend time with me or I'd go spend time with her.  She taught me the importance of make-up and told me what...

I cannot wait until this School Board Race is Over!  Maybe then this forum will go back to some semblance of normalcy!  This week, 2 threads have been locked because the 2 campaigns are fighting a "Death Match" armed with rumor, innuendo, unsubstantiated fact, and down right hatred of one another.... Yesterday afternoon, I posted a comment in which I stated that I did not reside in the contested district.... Meaning that my school board representative's position isn't...

It seems that the insurability and the hazard pay for cheerleading coaches has just gone up... according to a news report from The Oklahoman, a cheer squad coach was attacked by a woman with a stun gun: A woman accused of attacking a cheerleading coach with a stun gun has turned herself in to authorities, police said today. Leshawn Fisher, 36, was booked into the Oklahoma County jail on a complaint assault and battery with a dangerous weapon on Friday, police said. The arrest came after a...

What?  Really....?  People, this is not a laughing matter!  Here is the actual article I found on the Reuter's website: Penis theft panic hits city.. By Joe BavierWed Apr 23, 1:07 PM ET Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men's penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft.

Earlier in the week, I wrote about my near-death experience with falling objects in the Wal-Mart Sporting Good Dept.  (ok, so it really wasn't "near-death", but it could have been!)  My main complaint was the lack of concern displayed by the sales clerk and other employees.  I was injured and felt pain, and no one even asked:  "Are you okay?" or said:  "My goodness!  I'm so sorry that happened."  Until...... Monday afternoon,...

Remember the old Wal-Mart commercials that showed the smiley-face person -- er thingy-- er mascot in a hard hat with the caption:  "Watch for falling prices"?  That came into my mind yesterday afternoon just after I was hit on the head by falling objects in sporting goods department. I had some errands to run in town and Wal-Mart was first on my list.  True to my obsessive/compulsive nature, I ventured into the non-food section first.  There was something my...

The ex is behind on his child support payments --- again!  I know I really shouldn't go off about this, because I know I am just one of a billion out there whose ex is behind on child support.  Because the ex owes $1099.00 in child support and over $500.00 in medical bills, the Attorney General's office intervened.  The ex, who is so racist, he makes Archie Bunker look like Ghandi, believes that the OAG is making him pay more child support because he is caucasian.  He...

On Monday, October 22, 2007, at 4:35 PM, I became a 43 year old grandmother to Jaylynn McKenzie. She weighed in at 8 lbs 4 ozs and was 20 inches long. She was the most beautiful creature (besides her mother) I have ever seen. It is almost as if God sent a precious angel from Heaven for us to have, hold, love and spoil. I thank God for answering my prayers for a safe delivery and a healthy baby! (Even though my daughter had a rough time and ended up having a to have a c-section.) My cup...

I may receive a lot of flack for what I'm about to write here, but oh well DAMN THE TORPEDOS! I got married, for the first time, when I was 21 years old.  We were young and thought we could change the world... blah blah blah.  Three years and 2 kids later, I was done!  We went through a very bitter and painful seperation and divorce. I remarried in 1994 and My ex married  2002.  Even though we had been divorced for 13 years and I had been happily...
