Re: 2/12/2012

My cousin Richard sent me these emails:

Somehow the truth hurts, and this may be it.

In the coming New Year, 2012, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address will occur on the same day.
This is an ironic juxtaposition of events.
One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to an insignificant
creature of little intelligence for prognostication.
The other involves a groundhog.

It doesn't matter what party you belong to - this is hilarious.
From a show on Canadian TV, there was a  comedian who said he misses Bill Clinton.

"Yep, that's right - I miss Bill Clinton! He was the closest thing we ever got to having a real black man as President.

Number 1 - He played the sax.

Number 2 - He smoked weed.

Number 3 - He had his way with ugly white women.

Even now? Look at him ... his wife works, and he doesn't! And, he gets a check from the government every month. Manufacturers announced today that they will be stocking America 's shelves this week with " Clinton Soup," in honor of one of the nations' distinguished men. It consists primarily of a weenie in hot water.

Chrysler Corporation is adding a new car to its line to honor Bill Clinton. The Dodge Drafter will be built inCanada .

When asked what he thought about foreign affairs, Clinton replied, "I don't know, I never had one."

The Clinton revised judicial oath: "I solemnly swear to tell the truth as I know it, the whole truth as I believe it to be, and nothing but what I think you need to know."

Clinton will be recorded in history as the only President to do Hanky Panky between the Bushes."
... ya gotta love it!

THE NEW PRESIDENTIAL SYMBOL FOR OBAMA

The skunk has replaced the Eagle as the new symbol for the President.
It is half black, half white, and everything it does stinks.

Well, my nephew Chris gets back from Fort Rucker tonight, then he’ll be on his way to a new assignment for 6-9 months. I guess he won’t be here for Christmas or his birthday (12/28) so I think we’ll be having his Christmas a little early.

Today I did something I rarely do: I made a case for the pad I heat in the microwave using a piece of cloth, a needle and thread. It turned out okay. I remember taking home ec and learning to sew with a sewing machine. In fact, I had a sewing machine until I moved to Thonotosassa, but I have to thank my girl scout leader, Mrs. Dutton, for teaching me how to sew by hand, including blind stitching we used to make reversible vests. I did hem a pair of pants a week or so ago, but sewing something together like this case was somewhat different.

I bought another pair of pants that have to be hemmed, but I’ll do that tomorrow.

Until next time…
