Happy Valentine’s Day!
Since I can’t very well send out cards to all of you, and some have health issues that would prevent you from inhaling eating sweets, I decided to share a bit of my lovely gift instead:
Yes, I know…not as delectable as the Hooker of the Week, but still eye candy material. Hope your day is as sweet!!! Hugs and kisses!!!
Blood, Sweat, and Tears….
….or as it is more commonly known: Valentine’s Day.
Every year men everywhere despair of the coming day. They rack their brains trying to figure out the perfect gift, whether it’s flowers, candy, jewelry, etc. In the spirit of camaderie, here are a few suggestions to help y’all.
Women are like magpies. We all like bright, shiny things. Hence the DeBeers monopoly. However, there is no need to break the bank to get something pretty and meaningful, like this, The Hypnotic Pendant:
Two universal symbols, the heart and the snake, blend together to create a sensual pendant.
Nothing says “I love you” quite like a reptile. Yes, it’s on my list.
Another thing women like is comfort. Sure, corsets are nice and so are garter belts, but not very practical for lounging about while watching Zombieland. Pajamagram can help. From warm to fuzzy, sweet to sexy they have it all. The Ruby Velour Lounge Set is perfect for any woman. Stretchy, soft, and red. Comfy and sexy. I *heart* mine!
Then, there are the sweet things of life: CANDY. For the extravagant, there is Godiva’s Romantic Heart. Beautifully presented in a satin giftbox, it features three new flavors for Valentine’s Day, including passion fruit in white chocolate. For the thrifty, M&M’s has a fun option of personalized candies. You can add a sweet sentiment, or even add a pic of your sweetheart.
For the geek hiding inside every woman, I suggest the Literal Sweetheart T-shirt, from ThinkGeek. Really, how can you go wrong: (more…)
2010, The Year of the ELEPHANT
And with the ringing in of the New Year, come blessings, promises, and plenty of hope.

And a personal prayer for y’all:
God . . . grant us the senility to forget the people we’ve never liked, the good fortune to run into the ones that we do like, and the eyesight to see the difference.

Who Do They Think They Are?

There’s a trend emerging in American politics. I don’t think it’s a new one, but it’s growth is disturbing to me. And it’s the amazing hostility to the common people.
With the explosion of the internet, Andy Warhol’s “15 minutes” theory seems to have developed a variant: under the right circumstances, anyone can become a superstar overnight, over the most trivial of reasons — and fall just as quickly. Even in politics.
But in politics, there is a growing trend to take that nobody, that average person, and treat them just like we do hardened political professionals — and attempt to destroy them in the process.
I don’t link to the big blogs very often because I figure you guys probably went there before you got here anyhow. Sometimes I just have to point and shout at the really important items though. Like this one. Really, go read that.
