I'm So Much Better Than You Are

I don't know what has changed about me in the last year, but people who put down other people really annoy me. I mean REALLY annoy me. The whole, "I drive a Mercedes", "She's gained weight" or "I make six figures" turns me off.

Maybe I've surrounded myself with too many GOOD people and now the crappy ones stand out like sore thumbs.

I don't care if someone has gained weight in the last year. I don't care if you can afford summer homes in the Caribbean. I just don't care. If you have to tell me, it doesn't matter. Show me.

Pass something to someone who doesn't have what you have, expecting nothing in return. Spend your time with your old relatives instead of your friends. Give of yourself.

Do something that's hard on the inside.

Sunday Morning Singin'

This morning, I was at my neighbor's house watering his flowers. The neighbor that's turned into one of my best friends in this world. It was early and two guys next door were bricking the house that's going up.

Suddenly, one man started singing. Beautiful. Chilling. No music. Just song. I wish I could have brought you all to that moment.

I looked for the lyrics, but I can't find them. Maybe it was his song? While looking, I found this. You can't deny the genius that is Stevie Wonder and Riff.

Cancer. And a request for prayers....

My love is leaving on Saturday to be with her mother. Her mother is having her entire breast removed tomorrow. It's cancerous. We are hoping for the best. Thinking happy thoughts, but honestly, that's hard to do when it's your mother.

If your Mom's alive, go hug her. Matter of fact, go hug everyone you love right now. You never know which hug will be the last one.

And send up a happy thought or prayer for my Love and her family, too. I'd be forever grateful.

Because I Know You Will Laugh

I stole it from Vodka Mom. I couldn't help it!

Can You Do The Can-Can?

You know what the problem is with sandwiches? They're too hard to transport. What they need to do is invent specially-sized bags to tote them around in. Oh they've got those? Then maybe a hard plastic, airtight container shaped like a sandwich that will keep them fresh and squish-proof! No way! They've got those too?? Where the hell have I been??

Well, we all know that everything is better if it’s made with bacon, is bite-sized or is put in a can, right? I know! Let's put a sandwich in a can! That way that can of Rock-Star won't flatten your sandwich when you put it in your Bobby Sherman lunchbox!


That's right! It's better than Vienna Sausages! It's a Candwich! You can choose between PBJ Strawberry, PBJ Grape and - if you are really adventurous - BBQ Chicken Candwiches.

Unfortunately, A lawsuit by the federal Securities and Exchange Commission says that Travis L. Wrightt promised returns of up to 24 percent on real estate investments, but put the money instead into Candwich development and other equally untried ideas.

The good news? According to the New York Times, the Candwich concept perseveres. "The president of Mark One Foods, Mark Kirkland, who said he patented the idea of putting solid food in a beverage container with the slogan, “Quick & Tasty, Ready to Eat,” said Mr. Wright promised full financial backing for Candwich production that never really materialized even as investors did. He said he believed that canned sandwiches would ultimately sell, and hoped to go into production later this year."

Okay, full disclosure: I actually, probably, most likely would definitely buy these. Not to actually eat, but to stock my bomb shelter shelves. Really!

What about you? Can you see a place for the Candwich in your life??
