My humble opinion is that life is too short to be stuck with one or two favorite things..Don't get me wrong I have places in my heart that are etched in stone..All I'm saying is try new things everyday and pick up some new "favorites" along the way.....Check back next week...Who knows, maybe a nice Chanti and some Fava beans..

Grandmas Thanksgiving Rules

Grandma loves you but here are the rules...

1.Don't get in line asking questions about the food. "Who made the potato salad?Is it egg in there? Are the greens fresh? Is the meat in the greens turkey or pork? Who made the macaroni and cheese? What kind of pie is that? Who made it?"Ask one more question and I will punch you in your mouth, knocking out all your fronts so you won't be able to eat anything.

2.If you can't walk or are missing any limbs, sit your butt down until someone makes your plate for you. Dinner time is not the time for you to be independent. Nibble on them pecans and walnuts to hold you over until someone makes you a plate.

3. If you have kids under the age of twelve, I will escort their little butts to the basement and bring their food down to them. They are not gonna tear my house up this year. Tell them that they are not allowed upstairs until it's time for Uncle Butchie to start telling family stories about their mommas and papas. If they come upstairs for any reason except for that they are bleeding to death, I will tear their butts up and you better not ask why!

4. There is going to be one prayer for Thanksgiving dinner! JUST ONE! We do not care that you are thankful that your 13 year old daughter gave birth to a healthy baby or your nephew just got out of jail. The time limit for the prayer is one minute. If you are still talking after that one minute is up, you will feel something hard come across your lips and they will be swollen for approximately 20 minutes.

5. Finish everything on your plate before you go up for seconds! If you don't, you will be asked to keep your greedy butt home next year!

6. BRING YOUR OWN TUPPERWARE!! Don't let me catch you fixing your self a plate in my good Tupperware knowing that I will never see it again! Furthermore, if you didn't bring anything over, don't let me catch you making a plate period or it will be a misunderstanding. And why are you making plates before you eat? You never bring a dish or offer a dime do you?

7. What you came with is what you should leave with!! Do not leave my house with anything that doesn't belong to you. EVERYBODY WILL BE SUBJECTED TO A BODY SEARCH COMING AND GOING OUT OF MY DOMAIN!!!

8. Do not leave your kids so you can go hopping from house to house. This is not a DAYCARE CENTER ! There will be a kid-parent roll call every ten minutes. Any parent that is not present at the time of roll call, your child will be put outside until you come and get him or her. After 24 hours, I will call DSS!

9. BOOK YOUR HOTEL ROOM BEFORE YOU COME INTO TOWN!! There will be no sleeping over at my house! You are to come and eat dinner and go home or to your hotel room. EVERYBODY GETS KICKED OUT AT 11:00 pm. You will get a 15 minute warning bell ring.

10. Last but not least! ONE PLATE PER PERSON!! This is not a soup kitchen. I am not trying to feed your family until Christmas dinner! You will be supervised when you fix your plate. Anything over the appropriate amount will be charged to you before you leave. There will be a cash register at the door. Thanks to Cousin Alfred and his greedy family, we now have a credit card machine! So VISA and MASTERCARD are now being accepted. NO FOOD STAMPS OR ACCESS CARDS YET.

Postcards from the fridge...

A young couple purchased an old home in Northern New York State from two elderly sisters. Winter was fast approaching and the wife was concerned about the house's lack of insulation.

"If they could live here all those years, so can we!" the husband confidently declared. One November night the temperature plunged to below zero, and they woke up to find interior walls covered with frost.

The husband called the sisters to ask how they had kept the house warm. After a rather brief conversation, he hung up.

"SO? What did they do?" the wife asked.

"For the past 30 years," he muttered, "they've gone to Florida for the winter."

Todays Horror.. er..I mean Horoscope

Personal Guide
Scorpio Daily Horoscope


You may feel mystical and reflective today, as you ponder the deeper meaning of your life. Perhaps you believe that you have a larger purpose, and you could be wondering what your destiny is and how it relates to your life today. To gain a greater sense of insight about these feelings, you might want to spend time in reflection. Asking yourself probing questions can begin this process. You may feel sensations in your body as the answers come to you. You also might want to spend time in meditation today. Empty your mind of all thoughts, and ask your higher self to reveal your life purpose.

Peggy Sez:

There is no deeper meaning to my life today,other than gettin to the bottom of a freaking deep dirty clothes basket. The larger purpose must mean doing the sheets too. Reflection? No thanks, I saw me in the mirror this morning and it wasn't pretty. The only probing questions I can think of are..Why did I let "The Boy" talk me into Mickey D's for lunch. Those sensations are what happens when I eat fast food...EWWWW. I'll meditate while I'm in the john...thanks. I'll be empty alrighty..







Going inward to seek guidance about our life purpose can give us the insight and clarity we are looking for. Whether we believe in the concept of destiny or wish to exercise our right to choose our path, we can benefit from believing that our inner self has wisdom that we need. Trusting our instincts will often lead us to opportunities for fulfilling growth experiences. With consistent practice in trusting ourselves, we strengthen our connection to spirit. We also learn to rely on ourselves for guidance. This trust of self can be the well from which we drink so that we are strong enough to live the best life we possibly can. Consulting yourself today can give you the direction you need to make wise choices.

Peggy Sez:

I don't have time to go inward about purpose, insight and clarity. Can I just get the cliff notes version? Oh, I believe in the concept of destiny and the right to choose my path, but why are they always working on that part of the road ? Does the flagman look asleep to you? If I didn't trust me I'd never leave the house. And this guidance thing is highly overrated, I'm from the old school. Don't do nothing you don't want done to you. I have consulted with myself ( and danced too..Go Billy Idol) and I wisely chose to drink from the well of Grey Goose later today.. And I'll have me some more of that best life tomorrow too !

"What Costume?

Suze Orman didn't .....

On their wedding night, the young bride approached her new husband and asked for $20.00
for their first lovemaking encounter. In his highly aroused state, her husband readily agreed. This scenario was repeated each time they made love, for more than 30 years, with him thinking that it was a cute way for her to afford new clothes and other incidentals that she needed.

Arriving home around noon one day, she was surprised to find her husband in a very drunken state. During the next few minutes, he explained that his employer was going through a process of corporate downsizing, and he had been let go. It was unlikely that, at the age of 59, he'd be able to find another position that paid anywhere near what he'd been earning, and therefore, they were financially ruined.

Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book which showed more than thirty years of steady deposits and interest totaling nearly $1 million. Then she showed him certificates of deposits issued by the bank which were worth over $2 million,and informed him that they were one of the largest depositors in the bank.

She explained that for the more than three decades she had "charged" him for sex, these holdings had multiplied and these were the results of her savings and investments.

Faced with evidence of cash and investments worth over $3 million, her husband was so astounded he could barely speak, but finally he found his voice and blurted out.

"If I'd had any idea what you were doing, I would have given you all my business!"


That's when she shot him.

You know, sometimes, men just don't know when to keep their mouths shut.

Milk and Cookies,Chinese bakers and Pirates..

"The Boy" decided that today was a good day to play school. He thinks school is fun...It is at our house. We worked on his writing, his word list and then some math. Thanksgiving pictures were colored and hung on the fridge. Then it was lunch time. Pasta Salad..his favorite. After lunch it was play time and "The Boy" told me a story.



Once there was Chinese man who worked at a construction site. He liked his work but his favorite thing to do in the whole world was baking....cookies.


"Why cookies?" I asked. After giving me the evil eye he resumed his story.


One day a terrible MONSTER came and destroyed the construction site . All the cranes were knocked over and the equipment was ruined. The Chinese man was really angry and vowed revenge ("The Boy" plays a lot of RPG on the PS2).


" AH! revenge MUHAHAHAHAHA !?" I laughed manically..GRRRRRRRRR MOM!


ANYWAY!...The Chinese man had a plan, he would bake a bazillion cookies and trick the MONSTER into eating them, then he would call his pirate friends to help him defeat the monster who was now too full of cookies and couldn't move.


Just as they were about to finish him off the MONSTER begged for mercy.


" Please if I had some milk I KNOW I would never destroy a construction site again"


So the Chinese man gave the MONSTER all the milk he wanted and he and the Pirates and the Chinese man became goods friends forever. The Chinese man asked the MONSTER to help him clean up/repair the construction site and the MONSTER agreed.


" Right after I finish my cookies and milk"





MONSTERS...ya gotta love'em

Nothing today see you Monday......
