MY LAST POST...............a disclaimer.

The "Boss" read my Culture Wars post and said he thought some people might be offended......It was meant to be Satire .......I made fun of people from the North as much as I made fun of people from the South....and I guess you need to be from one of those two places to get the joke......
And one more thing.......in today's Atlanta Journal Constitution on page D2 in a section called the Vent is the following quote..........
ATTENTION, disgruntled Notherners!
We have I-75 and I-85 in Georgia, and both go north. If that does not work for you, go east on I-20 - into the Atlantic Ocean........
I make my point.

I wasn't offended, but then I don't live back there either. Also I think that if I did, I would have gotten it anyway. Actually, I enjoyed reading it. Hope you have a great Sunday!

Hi Linnea....Oh my word, I didn't mean you. The husband read the post last night and thought that if anyone from the South read it they might be offended by it. I forget sometimes that we have a somewhat sick sense of humor. If we really didn't like the South we wouldn't have been here for 24 years...Hope your having a good Sunday and recovering from your trip. I loved seeing the pictures from Disney.

i think a little poking is all in good fun! most don't take themselves too seriously and get it! besides it makes for a more interesting blog than to always be neutral on all events.

the dog? she's coming over tomorrow to test how my old dog takes it.
we will probably get her- but we are going out of town and it won't be till next week.
stay tuned!

LOL...hey at least you were more subtle than they were! And I doubt anyone was offended...I'm sort of a Northener...well only cuz I have to be. And I laughed...but then I laugh at all the people up here too!

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

TIME OUT..........................

In the best interest of my left hand I find it necessary to take a short break from blogging.......that nasty staph infection has refused to go away and with no signs of it improving I need to stop using the computer......every time I go online to type the finger resembles W.C. Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....
