Good Morning. Have you ever glanced at the Tabloids in the check-out lanes while grocery shopping? I have! I think mostly everyone has seen them or passed by them and reads the goofy front page highlights designed to get you to pick it up or worse yet buy it. I mean come on. Has Oprah got a life-long thing with losing the weight gaining it back, losing it gaining it back… It is almost like the wild wires in California. I thought they put them out years ago, but there still going on… Does anyone care that Charles new wife wants a divorce? How many times do you see the gawl-awful ugliest baby on the cover of one claiming to be the offspring of an alien abduction? Countless pictures of one star over weight or another dressed in something you would not wear or be caught dead in. If you were caught dead in it would it matter? Hmmm another discussion for another day, but I mean how many diet programs are draped across ever tabloid or magazine and right next to them are food finds…holiday treats, Betty Crocker’s deserts and all that good stuff. Checkout lines seem to have everything except the kitchen sink in them…Dating how to along with who is cheating on who…Oh did you get this story… Po Shiu-fong, 58, was sentenced in July to six months in jail in Hong Kong for stabbing her boyfriend, 49, in his eyes with a chopstick because she thought he was cheating on her. (At the hearing, Po admitted that she had already blinded him in the left eye six years earlier by poking him with her finger because of alleged cheating.) [Reuters, 7-4-07] Dang! I bet that guy doesn’t go out to dinner with her again. She could be the Chinese version of the three stooges “MO” Hey wise guy, donk! Take that! You know going back to Ms Shiu-Fong… I so could get away with a if the Shoe fits joke right now… Perhaps he picked on her name “PO” and she didn’t like it… I am just sitting here thinking if I had ever been in a restaurant where someone started fighting over this or that and one or the other swooped up a eating utensil and started jabbing away at the others face… tuff date!
Tabloids, Grocery stores and jealous dates almost always make the top ten in my morning missives. Oh one more thing came down the pipe this weekend… my Auntie Sharon; I just love referring to her as my auntie. She gives me this look if looks could kill for referring to her as that. She is a dyed in the wool devout Baptist. Anyway she is the one who always threatens to wash my mouth out with soap. She sent me and everyone under the stars an email out Saturday complaining about a book and a movie that is coming out soon called the “The Golden Compass” I have not read into this but she claims it bad and that is all I know at the moment until I further research it. But, researching on that will have to wait as it is time for me to wish you a Marvelous Day as well as a wonderful week. If that is not blowing smoke up your ying yang after blasting Tabloids and Grocery stores and wild women with Chop-sticks then I don’t know what is… Please do have a great day.
A huge Hug and numerous pats
