OK, first and foremost, today is my beautiful angel’s 16th BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY SWEET GIRL!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!

Oh man, where did those 16 years go???? Wow. Simply unbelievable!

Now for something that’s been stuck in my craw since last night. Let me preface it first by saying that when I was a kid, neighbors were neighborly, ya’ know? We didn’t just know our next-door neighbors, we knew everyone on the block — on both sides of the street! We knew everyone on the streets behind us and in front of us, too! We helped each other, the kids all played together, and we smiled and visited when we were outside and saw each other. Boy have things changed! At least where I live they have. Neighbors just aren’t neighborly anymore at all!

Last evening I was walking my two little dogs, Pippin and Riley, when the latter decided he needed to poop. He scrunched up — all 6 1/2 pounds of him — and pooped out a tiny little turd as per usual. Then I heard someone sneeze behind me. I looked over my shoulder and saw a woman, younger than I, standing on her porch, staring at me. I smiled at her. She stared at me. I stooped down and picked up Riley’s little deposit, and looked back again. She stared at me. I turned and kept on walking, wondering what in the hell happened to being neighborly! She lives just around the corner from us for pete’s sake! I swear, it just pisses me off no end how UN-neighborly and rude people are these days!!

OK, enough about me. Let’s talk about John McCain some more. LOL! Did you know that he actually believes if you make, say, 4.5 million bucks a year you’re middle class? Did you know that when a reporter asked him the other day how many houses he owns, he couldn’t remember and told him he’d have his staff get back to him on that? Yeah, no kidding. Here, take 30 minutes and listen to this –

Kinda’ staggering, eh? Can you say, OUT OF TOUCH MUCH?! Gag.

  2. Happy birthday to your (not so little) girl!

    Your neighbor sounds like a crabby biotch. Too bad. I hate people like that too.

    I can’t watch that video because I will get mad and I really don’t want to do that right now. LOL… But yes- he’s SHOCKING with his ignorance.

  3. Aww, Debbie, thank you! That is so sweet! She’s not here right now, but I’ll show it to her when she home later.

    Corrina — Thanks for the nice birthday wishes! I totally understand about the getting mad thing. I always have to make sure to take a blood pressure pill before I read or listen to ANYTHING about him!!
