Thanksgiving Eve and the Grocery Store Parking Lot

So of course there was ONE final trip to the grocery store before the locust... Whoops I mean family arrives. Loving family :)
I always always put the cart either back to the store or to the corral. It's a thing with me one of my little obsessive compulsive things. Is it asking too much that EVERYONE put their cart at least into the conveniently located corrals? Sometimes I will turn and say to the person closest to me just going into the store "would you like my cart?" 9 out of 10 times they will recoil (RECOIL!!!) and say uhmm no thanks. that's crazy you know that they are going to go and get an untried cart with funky wheels and what mine has cooties? That's so strange. hehhe Okay so is asking to much to not put the cart into the handicap space? Is it asking too much to not put the cart into the empty space next to you IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SPACE?
Okay I'm done.

Thanksgiving dinner table jokes

Shamelessly stolen from another blog :(
WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
SARAH PALIN: Before it got to the other side, I shot the chicken, cleaned and dressed it, and had chicken burgers for lunch.
BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a change! The chicken wanted change!
JOHN MC CAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.
HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure right from Day One that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.
GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
DICK CHENEY: Where's my gun?
COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.
BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken. What is your definition of chicken? AL GORE: I invented the chicken.
JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now and will remain against it.
AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.
DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken doesn't realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his current problems before adding new problems.
OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed access to the other side of the road.
NANCY GRACE: That chicken crossed the road because he's guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.
PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.
DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.
GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
BARBARA WALTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart-warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its lifelong dream of crossing the road.
ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.
BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken 2008, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken 2008. This new platform is much more stable and will never crash or need to be rebooted.
ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?

oh and if you know a 9 year old :) Why do gorillas have such big nostrils? Big Fingers :)
happy Turkey Day!

Poor George

George Bush is being given the short shrift these days. No on wants to shake his hand... no one wants to be seen with him nor hear from him. He is going to be retired and returned to Texas.
Obama says he is going to authorize another stimulus incentive check and this time he states that it will be enough "to make a difference". Uhmmmm a difference? What size check will make a difference in my life? A REAL honest to goodness difference? And where does this money come from? Isn't this going to go right back into my tax bill? Or do they print new money?

Obama is President

Oh MY GOSH!
We have a black President!
I pray for wisdom for our leaders and peace during this time of transition and throughout the next 4 years.
We all remember where we were ... "when" during different times of our lives.
I'll remember this day forever!
May God Bless Obama and his team.

Women that Speak Like Little Girls

Is it asking too much for women who are professionals or who work in a professional capacity to speak like an adult? These little tiny little girl voices make me nuts! It's almost like they need speech therapy to teach them how to move their mouths UGH it is so annoying!! Plus I really think it reduces respect for their message... Uhmmm I uhmm kinda need you to uhmmm answer a few questions uhmm okayyyyyyyyy? Instead of I need several questions answered can you help me? It's kinda like valley girl gone worse. As bad as that is it's a whiny sound. These are not 16 year old young ladies it's generally adults although - young adults 20 - 25. Mothers and Fathers please don't let your daughter use this kind of tone at home. Teachers can you beat it out of them... please? It's not in the least sexy (To me) nor is it appealing nor is it "cute". It's annoying and demeaning.
