Calmness in Your Life

It has been a crazy week, need lots of calming regimens.
STRESS!! Well, here is what I found today to answer those needs !! Keep in mind it is not for the weak at heart!!


By following simple advise heard on the Dr.Phil show, you too can find inner peace. Dr. Phil proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and have never
finished. So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished (and there were lots)
and before leaving the house this morning I finished off a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Tequila, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos, and a box of chocolates.

You have no idea how freakin good I feel right now!!! Tee Hee!!






Just kiddin :)

Taser Gun--Rated PG

Ok, so I got this in an e-mail. Sounds like a Bubba story to me!! A perfect gift guys for your wife!!

Pocket Taser Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Taser for their anniversay submitted this:

Last weekend I saw something =2 0 at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife, Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety...??

WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home.

I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. NOTHING!

I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. AWESOME!!!

Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.

Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, RIGHT????

There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul)while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh and blood moving target.

I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie(for a fraction of a second)and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But,if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong?

So, there I sat in a pair of short and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand , and taser in another.

The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a 2 second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a 3 second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than 3 second would be wasting the batteries. All the while I'm looking at this device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and (loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple A batteries) thinking to myself, 'no possible way'!

What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do by best...? I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, 'don't do it dipsh--,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for the heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed
the button, and ...HOLY MOTHER OF GOD...

WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION...WHAT THE HEL-!!!!!

I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs?

The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.

Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a taser, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor. A three second burst would be considered conservative?

S-O-B, that hurt like HE--!!!

A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on
the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nupples were still twitching.

My face felt like it had been shot up with Novacain, and my bottom lip weighted 88lbs. I had no control over the drooling. Apparently I pooped myself, but was too numb to know for sure and my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head which I believe came from my hair. I'm still looking for my nuts and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!!

P.S. My wife loved the gift, and now regularly threatens me with it!!!

Black-eyed Pea Cornbread

Come on now you southern girls and give this one a try. I got it from my sister-in-law. It was a huge success with my family. This is almost a meal on its own. It is YUM-YUM.

Ingredients: 1lb pork sausage
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups cornmeal
1 tsp salt
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 can cream style corn
1 can black-eyed peas (use the jalapeno black-eyed peas)
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
2 jalapeno peppers, chopped (optional-I used the kind in a jar)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan. Cook sausage and onion in a large skillet until sausage crumbles and browned. Drain and set aside. Combine cornmeal and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, beat eggs then add buttermilk and oil. Combine the dry and wet ingredients stirring until moistened. Stir in sausage and remaining ingredients. Pour into prepared dish. Bake at 350 for 50-55 mins or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Serves 8-12.

UGH,OH!!! I just lost my picture of the cooked cornbread, maybe I can find it and post it again...leave it to me to screw something up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


TIP: to break-up the sausage after it is cooks use this little gadget. As the sausage cooks in the skillet with the onion, gently "rock it back and forth" in the sausage. Works like a charm.

Revenge...

Aww, 'tis sweet. I know the Bible says vengence belongs to the Lord...but just can't help it sometimes.HA! Yes, it's 2am , lying in bed can't sleep and bloggin in my brain. This has really gotten out of control.

Let me tell you this, never, but never should you "snicker" about a woman's hair. Well, my hair has been in an awkward stage, not short, nor long, but long enough to pull up into a "little ponytail". Ok so, Pappy decides he is going to comment on it, calling me Bambi. HA!!! actually meaning "Pebbles" HA!! So you know he doesn't know his cartoons very well.
I went out shopping one day and purchased a little hair-piece thus making the little pony-tail more presentable. When I got home of course I put it on. Pappy never noticed the difference. He was watching TV and playing games on his laptop...sti
ll never noticing...a "devilish thought just ran through my head" TEE HEE!!!!! I told him I was going to bed, then walking behind his chair (playing like I was going into another room) I ever so gently removed the hair piece and just dropped it onto his lap!! OMG!! the reaction was priceless!!He just sat there moving his feet and legs back and forth just trying to get that hairy ball monster that had dropped on him out of his lap. I was rollin on the floor laughing. He looked like Fred Flintstone trying to drive that car with the feet moving!!!. The best part was repeating this story to my sister in law. She laughed so hard she was crying...
Moral of the story...Don't mess with the woman's hair!! :)

Nose-ring Monster


Have I created a monster?? I think I have, just in time for Halloweenie!!

Everyday she says, "have you blogged today?", "when are you bloggin again?" "you know it's been 5 days since you blogged"!! ok, ok, enough already.

I've only been bloggin about 2 months, so I thought what a great idea to have my sister-in-law to join in the fun!!! Mmmm Can we say things are getting out of hand? Ok, so she starts her blog on Monday, just 3 days ago and now she is SUPER STAR!! Come on now give me a freakin break! It obviously takes me longer to express myself!!HA!! or maybe her life is a little more interesting than mine. Oh Yeah, that's right she is married to my little brother!!! No joke, she is hilarious. She can tell the funniest stories. Sometimes I feel when we are together we are "Lucy and Ethel" reincarnate. Ok, so I've got to get back to work now. I will try to do better in the future....
