Ramblings of Silver Blue

Getting ready to go have this Chinese Water torture (read as: MRI) done. Outside my window, the rain is coming down. I am beginning to like mondays even less than I already have.

Well, maybe not. To my friends in the north, you have my sympathy. Seems that DC and points north were hammered with rain in excess of 6 inches. Amtrak had to close due to flooded tracks. Part of the beltway was shut due to mud slides, and more rain is forecast for this week. Personally, [...]

I’ve decided that the only way to get what I truly want out of life is to quit forcing karma’s hand. I have to give in and give up, and allow a power greater than myself to take control and direct my life. It will be a true test of faith for me; one that [...]

A paradox of sorts:

(because I don’t eat clams, and nutshells are too difficult to crack.) Sitting here in my room feeling like a cow has parked its bovine behind at the base of my skull; I ended up forgoing church and just picking dad up at the airport today. Then, it was back home, into the cool, and [...]

…they say you’re a child of the 80s. A couple years back, just after the launch of Ramblings of Silver Blue, I started on a creation of tunes from the 80s. I did 10 CDs worth and then the project fell by the wayside. Now, I want to get back to it. There are so [...]

Also courtesy of Moonglow. There’s nothing worse than a doctor’s receptionist who insists you tell her what is wrong in a room full of other patients. I know most of us have experienced this, and I love the way this senior citizen handled it. An 86-year-old man walked into a crowded doctor’s office. As he [...]

Thanks to Moonglow for these. Carefully now, they are so blatant you will be kicking yourself if you miss the clue! Mystery 1… A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis: The Wife said she was sleeping. The [...]

Charles Darwin’s Tortise (age 176) JonBenet’s Mother, Patsy Ramsey Aaron Spelling (TV producer, father of Tori Spelling, whom I will guess never has to work another day in her life) and to anyone who eats a “Krispe Kreme Cheeseburger”. Those things are loaded with fat to begin with; need we add beef and cheese? I [...]

that if you chose to leave a comment, and you’ve never left one before, I have to moderate them. Therefore, to animeroxmysox@shutthef*ckupyouf*ckingspambot.com who left the following comment: It’s all from this show on Cartoon Network called The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. The “Clowns Hate Tangelos” is from the episode when Mandy tries to [...]

…back in my car and gone… back on the road…. alone.* The weekend is finally upon us. Saturday, a day for relaxing, a day for goofing off, a day for…a migraine? Why, oh WHY, Mother Nature has decided to unleash one on me today is beyond me. Neil made it safely home; Tink’s got a [...]

There’s no place like 127.0.0.1

I Believe In You Kylie Minogue/Scott Hoffman/Jason Sellards I don’t believe you know me Although you know my name I don’t believe the faults I have Are only mine to blame I don’t believe that magic Is only in the mind I don’t believe I’d love somebody Just to pass the time But I, I, [...]

Julia Sugarbaker Style.

I’ve got a friend who has battled cancer for the past 6.5 years, and you know what? She’s happier than most regular, healthy people I know. What can cause a person to be that way? Some would say strong faith. She’s definitely got that. Some would say a loving, supportive family. Check on that point [...]

Plus, I’m not burnt to a crisp! Spent a wonderful day in the Outer Banks yesterday, catching up with friends, and enjoying the surf and sand. Learning from my mistakes in years past, however, I invested in some SPF 60. No, I don’t burn that easily, but when you’re in the sun for over 5 [...]

Here you go, enjoy!

Since I’m on holiday… LOL

I hear they’re all up in arms over the mess with a Nike endorsed ad. Do the fundies really believe Jesus was the LAST person or the ONLY person to be crucified? And remember what I said about you not having the right to NOT be offended? Well, I guess if you’re in the UK, [...]

Before performing a baptism, the priest approached the young father and said solemnly, “Baptism is a serious step. Are you prepared for it?” “I think so,” the man replied. “My wife has made appetizers and we have a caterer coming to provide plenty of cookies and cakes for all of our guests.” “I don’t mean [...]

How wonderful it is to be able to sleep in because you’re on vacation. How sad it is when your body clock insists on waking you up at your regular time and won’t let you go back to sleep.

Tomorrow I’m supposed to be heading down to the wonderful outer banks for some much needed R&R. What happens? PR’s mom falls (again), splits her hand or arm or 2nd nose, 3rd earlobe or 17th finger. Anyway, she’s in the ER having stitches. Is it wrong to ask God to take her before she goes [...]

Someone’s sittin on the clock. I wanna go home. Get OFF the damn clock so it doesn’t slow down.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – A hundred bucks might buy you more than six dozen burgers from McDonald’s, but the swanky Old Homestead Steakhouse will sell you one brawny beef sandwich for the same price. Boca Raton Mayor Steven Abrams could barely speak between bites as he devoured the 20-ounce, $100 hamburger billed as the “beluga [...]

Look what has been disclosed: Senate refuses to raise minimum wage while Congress votes themselves their annual pay raise So let’s compare the American: Minimum wage sits, since 1997, at $5.15 per hour. Leaving a family of 3 $6,000 below the poverty line. We have seen gas prices go up by 140 percent since the [...]
