Rantings

Funny, I am no "Writer", but I have had a mental block this past week and nothing to write about...so I will give you my "Brain Dump"...

1) Why is it Kindergartners are unable to be quiet? I mean seriously! One of the teachers has a "Yacker Tracker" up in her room. When the noise level reaches a certain, well, level, it goes off...yeah, only, it is not loud enough for our group to hear! I am buying an air horn, that should get their attention!

2) When will the weather cool off? I have lived in Mississippi the majority of my life and I can not remember it being this hot, this late in the month of September. Lord, I am not complaining...I am just sick of this heat and humidity.

3) Why is it that fresh fruits and vegetables cost more than junk food? I bought 4 apples and they totaled $5 ...and a box of Little Debbies cost no more than $2 and you get a dozen? Plus they have to pay packaging and shipping costs, as well as pay people to work in their factories...which costs bazillions of dollars to run...Something just does not add up here. Apples grow on trees, you pick 'em, put 'em in a crate and ship 'em to the store...

4) Why do politicians insist they are telling the truth, when in fact, they are lying when they say they are telling the truth? Is it prerequisite to be untruthful? I would stink at being a politician, I don't lie very well!

5) How is it the "Water Meter Maid" can just lift the lid, never wipe the dirt off or never write anything down? Why bother looking in there at all? I guess she has photographic memory along with x-ray vision...Oh, and 2 showers a day and 3 loads of laundry has moved out and our bill has not changed...hmmmm.....

6) Why is it that everytime my family sits down to eat dinner, the phone rings? I wonder if there is an alarm that goes off the moment we sit on the chairs that alerts the world, we are dining? Never fails...

7) Why is it everytime I sit to watch a tv program, I am bombarded by commercials for personal items? I am just wondering how, of all the products in the world, the ones that are marketed the most are things that we women HAVE to have? Is the market for such items so competitive, you must convince me and every other fertile woman on the planet yours is the best?...Who says women don't rule the world?

8) Why can't photography be easy? I remember those Canon commercials from when I was a little girl..."Just aim and shoot"...yeah, sure, whatever! My camera's manual is thicker than my 365 day devotional...

9) Why do people ask my opinion and then not take my advise? Does it make you feel better to reject sound advise? I have seen it all, done most of it and watched the rest...I know what I am talking about! I am certain that, in the end, you will see I was right...but don't come cryin' to me...I told you so!

10) And last but not least...attention mongers...please, I can handle a bunch of 5 year olds, that is their nature. But, a grown adult should just get over it. If you are not getting the attention you feel you so richly deserve, then maybe you should step back and take inventory of your life...maybe people don't want to give you the attention, because they know you will become even more obnoxious than you already are...

I must ask for forgiveness now...

Good night y'all!
