oh dear

A Frickin Elephant, oh dear . . .
From the diary of a Pre-School Teacher

My five-year old students are learning to read.

Yesterday one of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said,
"Look at this! It's a frickin' elephant!"
I took a deep breath, then asked..."What
did you call it?"
"It's a frickin' elephant! It says so on the picture!"

And so it does...






" A f r i c a n Elephant "

Hooked on phonics! Ain't it wonderful?
Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.

Words to live by

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves." Abraham Lincoln.

"I have to go"

To people who have a habit of rambling on and on, on the phone. . .
If I say to you, "I have to go", please let me go. Please don't talk my ear off for another fifteen minutes. My attention span is about 5 minutes unless you are really interesting. (Note: most of my friends are interesting. ) If I am changing subjects and sounding restless and prompting you to make your point quicker, that probably means my attention span is shot. You really don't have to repeat the same phrase and rework it four times. Once is enough, really. Twice is annoying, but FOUR times? This is why a conversation that ought to take 5 minutes ends up taking 19 minutes and 22 seconds. Why can’t people comprehend the phrase, "I have to go".

There are 4 different types of "I have to go".

The first is more like a 10-minute warning (because I learned the hard way that after I say "I have to go", I typically get talked at for 10 more minutes. ) The tone of my voice is restless, but at this point, probably not annoyed-sounding. But really, I do want/need to go. So this is not a time to start asking me how my life is going. Take it as a warning bell to wrap up your yakking.

Then there is the non-committal "I should probably get going". That means, "I've been on the phone long enough, but it's not absolutely necessary that I get off." I might say this as I'm making one "last" point or something so as to indicate to the listener, that yes, there will be an end to this point soon. Or I might say this if I feel like I've talked someone else's ear off.

The third type is a more urgent "I have to go". At this point, I'm starting to get antsy and am really not paying much attention to what you are saying, but I'm staying on to be polite. I think my voice might sound agitated, but still somewhat under control. At this point, you should really let me go in under 2 minutes. Ideally in under 1 minute. Besides, if I'm not really listening to what you are saying, then you're kind of wasting your breath anyway.

The last type is the type where I sound audibly annoyed/agitated/miffed, etc., and the one where I'm so annoyed that I couldn't cut you off earlier that I might throw the phone across the room in frustration after I get off with you, or if I could get away w/ slamming the phone, this is probably what I'd do at this point. Either that or gripe about it on a blog such as this. You really don't want to hear this "I have to go", or if you do, you really want to let me get off the phone or let me go within ten seconds. This "I have to go" usually happens if I have a certain expectation that discussing x,y,z should take x amount of time, but instead, the conversation ends up taking for.ever. Now I can talk people's ear off. So if I'm not talking much, and all I'm saying is u-huh, or "ok, so--" (to prompt you to get to your point, or "right right" or "got it got it got it", that's probably a sign that your conversation is taking longer than I'd like.
So when I say "I have to go", for heaven's sake, let me go.

No means NO

I have to rant for a minute ...

Why can't some people just take "no" for an answer? I mean what is so hard to comprehend from the word "no?" I was thinking about a particular situation I was dealing with a couple days back and it kinda got resurrected today because Joe Schmo (that's what we'll call them) couldn't understand what "no" meant. When people ask the question,

"What part of 'no' don't you understand?"

I really think that there is a logic behind their asking that. Maybe these people don't actually understand what "no" means. Like salespeople or telemarketers...they just have no idea what "no" means. You try to be nice the first time with your "no," but when it doesn't register the first time you say it, you end up unfortunately having to get hasty with them...NO, NO, NO, NO! Geez Louise! I think maybe they've been conditioned or programmed to just not hear the word "no." I think it may go through their brain like this...
THEM: Hello, would you like to buy a "free" magazine subscription?
US: If it's free, then why do I have to buy it?
THEM: Oh, that's just a processing fee you're paying for...
US: How much is the processing fee then?
THEM: $49.95 plus tax...but that's all logistics. What credit card would you like to put that on?
US: Err, ___ thank you, I think I'll pass...
THEM: Oh...you're welcome. We accept Visa, MasterCard & American Express. You can go ahead and give me the 16 digits on your card now
US: Dude, I said ___ thank you!
NOTE: NOTICE THE LINE WHERE THE "NO" IS SUPPOSED TO BE! THAT'S THE PART THAT DOESN'T REGISTER FOR THEM.
THEM: You are very welcome. I'm ready for the card number when you are...
US: ____ THANK YOU! GEEZ!
THEM: I said you're welcome. Ma'am whenever you're ready...
US: ____, ________, ___________!
(CLICK)
That's pretty much how they hear our "no's". They just don't!
What is wrong with people??

Pushy guys, salespeople, telemarketers...NO MEANS NO MEANS NO! There's NO other way around it! NO!!

aging gracefully?

I’m really getting scared watching television and movies anymore. None of the oldies, still goodies, like Clint Eastwood look remotely like themselves. And why does plastic surgery seem to stop at chin level? Do the surgeons forget people have necks? And what's with the trout lips so many actresses are sporting? Frankly, they remind me of a condition that usually resides at the other end of the human body.
The lack of expression the Botox injected gives them less character than their wax doppelgangers at Madame Tussaud's. And every time someone interviews one of these "altered" faces and says, "You look good!" I snort in disbelief. Honestly, can't some interviewer somewhere, please, just once say, "Excuse me...I thought I was interviewing _____ _______ (fill in the blanks with the name of any crazy-scary-frozen-unwrinkled-over-the-age-of-40 actor/actress here). Who are you?" It would be such fun to try to spot any approximation of shock or surprise on those frozen faces.
When did it become such a sin to age? Why don't we celebrate the fact we've lived so many years instead of trying to erase that amazing fact?

Pulling the Plug

I am seriously considering pulling the plug on this blog. I just don’t care about it any more. Maybe it is because I am not good at it or maybe it has run its course. It has some how become something I have to do instead of something I want to do. I am not going to make a rash decision but If I continue to feel like this I will pull the plug.

Money

MONEY - - - The love of it really is the root of all evil. The lack of it causes hardships. The want of it causes us to be envious and overspend. Abundance of it can make people gluttons in all areas of their life. The one thing I do know is that we need to be in control of it. We need not indulge ourselves in things that we neither need or can afford. Be it a $1 item or a $10,000 item. Seems to be a hard lesson to learn!!

Short Sale

Jorge DeMattos, 45, just completed the short sale on his home in Pembroke Pines, Fla. — a process he and his real estate agent, Edward Goldfarb, say took 17 months and eight separate offers.
DeMattos began pursuing a short sale after he was laid off two years ago and his income plunged from $46,000 to $26,000 a year.
Chase Bank, his mortgage servicer, rejected the first offer, which was $14,000 over what was then fair market value, according to Goldfarb.
On the next seven offers, the bank took months to respond. Each prospective buyer got tired of waiting and canceled the contract. The eighth offer, accepted in May, was $24,000 less than the first one that Chase rejected in February 2008, Goldfarb says.
"Chase made it very difficult. I had to stop paying the mortgage. It was so frustrating," says DeMattos, who now lives with his sister in Kissimmee, Fla. "We would put the paperwork in, and they would never give a definite answer. Buyers waited for months."
DeMattos says he owed $355,000 on his mortgage. The short-sale price was $225,000.
But really, does any of this make sense to you? How does someone making $46k a year get a loan for over $350,000? He said he owed $355,000 so his initial loan had to be for more than that. Just using that figure, that’s $2,000 a month not including taxes or homeowner’s insurance. As much as I hate taxes and tax forms, I actually spent a little time and figured out that with his $46k salary, $18,000 interest deduction, and Social Security payments, dude pulled in roughly $3,250 a month if he had his W-4 filled out properly with the correct number of deductions. If he claimed 0 it would be $2,880 a month. I figured property taxes on the lower amount, $225,000, would be roughly $5,000 a year and homeowner’s insurance at $500, making his total monthly payment $2,450. So 75% of his take home income is going to his mortgage? That’s freaking insane!!!
So who’s fault is it, this DeMattos who borrowed more than he could afford or the bank who gave him the loan?

How do you feel?

I have some questions.

Chastity Bono grew up before our eyes. An adorable smiling blonde toddler who in the 70’s she was a regular on her parents’ Sonny and Cher Show. In the early 90’s at age 21 she was outed by a tabloid just as she was getting ready to launch her music career. She cut one album (Hang Out Your poetry) with her band Ceremony.

But I want to understand the hostility people are displaying about her (er, his) decision to opt for gender reassignment surgery. It's been made clear Chaz has been through extensive psychiatric evaluation and this isn't a whimsical action. His publicist merely announced the decision to reduce tabloid speculation & gossip mongering. Chaz doesn't appear to be doing any of this for publicity or increased media attention. He is not asking for public sympathy or support, or donations to pay for the surgeries. Perhaps Chaz is receiving financial help from Cher, but it's also very likely Chaz had a trust or may have received an inheritance after Sonny's untimely death.

There has been so much in the news and on twitter about Chaz being on Dancing with the Stars, and how it will affect children. I am unsure how they would know, unless an adult told them, since Chaz has facial hair and deep voice. I am so unsure how to feel about this. ( I will watch the show.)

My question is: does Chaz's decisions to have gender reassignment does this affect or damage you in any way? How do you feel about it?

Yep people I am gonna go there:

Well, sooner or later you just KNEW I would hit on this subject, didn't you? Yep, its about pee and the inability to hold it at times. No one ever talked about this so when it starts to happen to you, you are horribly embarrassed. You might make mention of it to your doctor but heaven forbid you tell anyone else. Well, women are finally talking to each other about this kind of stuff. Kick embarrassment in the butt and take comfort in the fact that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Yep, even Whoopi Goldberg and Kris Jenner have the same problem you do. Soon you'll see Whoopi and Kris doing TV commercials outlining the problem and ways you can deal with it. Nothing is sacred anymore, not after men started talking about the dreaded......ED (erectile dysfunction).
I have discovered that a large percentage of women have this problem, especially after the age of 50. My doctor told me he could fix me up with surgery. My friend had the surgery done but confided that the problem came back after about 5 years.
First it starts when you laugh hard. Oops.....a dribble. Then when you sneeze. Oops, Drat! Another dribble or two. Catch a cold and have a cough......you are in pee hell. Cough, cough, dribble, dribble. Lifting something a little heavy? Count on dribbling when you go to lift it. And forget about drinking some alcohol to the point of feeling relaxed. You will MORE than dribble if you cough or sneeze.....guaranteed. Some say that we get the dribbles because of child birth, some say its because we're overweight (but I have skinny friends who have it, so I think that's wrong), some say its because we don't flex our muscles in that area enough. I don't think I'll comment on that one at this time. Some say it's just a part of getting old. And that's why I'm writing about it.
I think it is because of age. Most women get a full straight eight hour's sleep. I wake up every few hours to go. I haven't used an alarm clock in ages. I can time all these events to coincide with menopause. Yep. I think its all tied in together. Our systems are totally out of whack. The female hormones have packed their bags and left town. Existing male hormones have spread out, unpacked, set up their remotes and have settled in the recliner with a beer. They LIKE their new digs. Being in a female body, they don't have to prove anything like how strong they are or how loud they can pass gas.....they just have to sit back and cause minor annoyances. Male hormones love to complicate things. I now have chin hairs that amaze me. Black coarse ones. You could weave them into a door mat for God’s sake. They multiply too. One time you have 10 to tweeze, the next time its 15. You will invariably feel one you've missed when you are in a room full of people and there is absolutely NO way you can pull it out and NO way you can keep from messing with it. You feel like its as noticeable as a 10 foot telephone pole hanging off your chin. It's an obsession. It will drive you crazy until you can get to the bathroom, dig in your purse, grab your tweezers and pull that sucker out. No woman over a certain age is without tweezers and a mirror in her purse. So even though I don't feel the need to adjust myself in public, I know my body is being influenced by male hormones. In addition to the chin hairs, I have a lot more nerve now. I use common sense most of the time, but will let my opinion be known where before, I just would keep my mouth shut. This is why menopausal women are feared. Frankly, I'm kinda liking it.......except for the chin hairs.

Mapping The Past

So lately I've been thinking about the past a lot. I think that happens when we move from one phase to the next. I'm definitely an empty nester. Kids all grown and gone for quite some time now. I've been feeling this unrest for a few years now and I know it has to do with stepping into the next chapter of my life.
I've been thinking of trying to map out my life. Not what's ahead - I've never been too good at planning ahead - but what came prior to this day. I'm very confused and unsure of why I made some of the decisions I did, or why I didn't make other decisions. I'd like to figure out just why I approached things the way that I did. Sure, I've had some counseling in my past, but to be honest, I never really got much out of it. Obviously I was missing something.
And although I know that the past is gone, done, and over, I would like to dissect it and see what I come up with. I don't plan on living in it, dwelling on it, or crying over it, but I do plan on trying to make sense of it. Wish me luck, I'll probably need it. Anyone got an old road map?

Beer and Economics

MADISON, GA - More Beer and Economics


Bar Stool Economics - only for those who drink beer!
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. 'Since you are all such good customers, he said, 'I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20. Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?'
They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.
And so:
The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).
Each of the six was better off than before And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.
'I only got a dollar out of the $20', declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,' but he got $10!'
'Yeah, that's right', exclaimed the fifth man. 'I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!'

'That's true!!' shouted the seventh man. 'Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!'
'Wait a minute,' yelled the first four men in unison. 'We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!'
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, boys and girls , journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

In retrospect......

I’m going to take a break today and not write much. Its September 11 and the memories of what happened on this fateful day will always be on my mind. I ask that you try to do just ONE random act of kindness toward another person each day. You’ll feel so good for it and someday you’ll get it back…guaranteed.

Life

Have we all forgotten the importance of living? Real Living? Where we can enjoy each moment of our life and take the good and the bad in stride. Are we too much into trivial matters and petty thinking and driven by greed? We are speeding through life, hurriedly looking for the next acquisition that will make us happy and in doing so we are losing out on the real joy in our life. In the pursuit of the unattainable, driven by a greedy attitude, we lose out on the meaning of real living and do not enjoy and cherish what we have.
It is always a different world that we are looking for be it politically, socially or economically. But never the one we live in. The grass seems to be greener always on the other side. Like someone once said, "The world is pretty much like an a la carte restaurant where everybody thinks the food the next table has ordered is so much more delicious and inviting than his own." In the process we lose out in the real joy of eating. We keep on looking over and wondering how the other person must be savoring his dishes, how much more he must be enjoying. In the pursuit of the ideal, we forget that the ideal is nothing but a situation that beckons us from distance that, when it is attained, becomes a reality that has it's own troubles and problems to overcome. When the ideal becomes a reality it loses its charm. It is just like the horizon once you reach it; it changes. There is always another horizon beyond the horizon. So the ideal is something that changes with the acquisition. And then we search for another ideal. Every situation in life is a package deal of good and the bad. And however much one tries to filter out the bad, it always trickles in.

Celebrate what you have, enjoy what you have. Enjoy your life.

A perfect life?

Some time ago I had a discussion with one of my friends that got me to thinking.
For some reason she was quite irritated and frustrated with her life! Thinking about one of our common friends who had almost everything you could desire (or so it seemed!), she told me she wished she could have a perfect life.
This sentence made me wonder what is a “perfect” life?
She said that if she had “such and such” thing her life would be perfect….
And I guess that is what we all think. Don’t we? And when we get “that” and we have a new “such and such” thing that will make our life perfect!
In this cycle of waiting for something we ignore the "right now". How wonderful our lives would be if we realize that our life is NOT ever going to be perfect rather we would have to find perfection in what we already have and start enjoying the moment rather than wanting it to be something else!
Life could be perfect if we could learn to love life while it is too hot outside; there is too much pollution in air or too many mosquitoes around…
There’s something positive in every situation. The trick is to find it.
Lets try making best out of the worst. Let’s not wait for life to be perfect and start celebrating the imperfection!

World PC

Yesterday I got a cold call from a man speaking broken English, he gave his name as... wait for it.... Adam Smith, he was calling to save my computer from crashing. It seems that windows was notified by my computer that it had a bad virus. Amazing. So Microsoft called his company to service my machine. Again amazing, all these thoughtful folks coming to the aid of an old lady. He identified his company as World PC out of Los Angles CA. I told him I would check my computer and call him back right away if he would give me his phone number, which he did. 760.269.3834. I knew it was a scam. I checked with my REAL pc repairman and he confirmed it was a scam. I reported him, his phoney name and his phone number to the state attorney general today. They are every where, and they want your money. http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/7602693834

What is happening to me?????

When I graduated from high school I wore a size 7 ½ or 8 shoe, depending on the style of the shoe. I kept those sizes for many years. Then somewhere along the way I went to a size 8 ½ . One would think that you would keep the same shoe size forever. HA. Not so. I just had to get another pair of shoes for all around wear and had to get a size NINE. 8 ½ was almost OK but the 9 felt better. Maybe I could understand it if I had a job where I was on my feet a lot (hairdresser or waitress) but believe me, I’m off my feet as much as possible. Maybe I could understand if I exercised by walking a lot. My form of exercise is walking from the kitchen to the bathroom. I once read SOMEWHERE…who knows where since I read so much….that there are two things on humans that continue to grow through-out our lives and its our noses and our ears. So what is with my feet? Maybe its just that, in my golden years, I’m more into comfort than style, but a size and a half? WHAT is the deal here? Are they making shoe sizes smaller now? Yeah, yeah, that must be it. Same way they are making clothes sizes smaller. It would be so great to pick up a size 12 again and have it fit but they’ve altered the measurements so drastically I’ve been forced to increase by several sizes. Yep, that’s just what happened. Sigh.

And that thought brings to mind my recent mind-altering experience which is not for the faint of heart. After my shower one day, I actually dared to look at myself in the FULL LENGTH mirror. After the initial shock wore off, I just stood there mesmerized. I was never a swimsuit queen for sure, but at least everything used to be in the right place. Gravity came to town and gravity won. Yep, there’s a new sheriff in these here parts and things are gonna stay changed. (spaghetti western music playing in background) My friend and I were talking one day about the perfect breasts. They said they had read someplace that the definition of a perfect size was if you could place a pencil under the breast and it would stay. I could place a Buick under mine, what does that define. And what’s the deal with all this extra ME under the arms; it actually…..sways! So much for bragging up exercise. With all the typing I’ve done in my lifetime I should have the firmest arms in the northern hemisphere.

Washing Clothes

So doing laundry, how does every everything come out of the dryer inside out? Ok, maybe not all of them, but a good 90% do. I hate folding clothes and when you have to take every inside out shirt (and underwear now that I think of it) and fix them it takes forever. So, next time I'm going to put them in the wash inside out and see what happens. Think it will work? Which machine is the culprit, the washer or the dryer? Or are they in collusion, the washer does half and the dryer does the other half? You see ads on TV for "smart" washers and dryers, think those keep the shirts in the proper manner? I never thought I'd get my @$$ kicked every week by those two machines. And the worst part is the humbling feeling that this @$$ kicking will continue till I either 1) win the lottery, or 2) die.

Pasta Diet

The Pasta Diet
1) You walka pasta the bakery.
2) You walka pasta the candy store.
3) You walka pasta the Ice Cream shop.
4) You walka pasta the table and fridge.

And for those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all the conflicting medical studies:
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausage and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
CONCLUSION:
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
