Zippedy-Do-Da

(old post from way back in 2006)
WOW! Has it really been this long since I’ve posted here? Shame shame on me – but I won’t make any feeble promises to post more often – because that’s a promise I just KNOW I can’t keep!We’re getting ready for the big move to Okinawa, so I am collecting friends’ addresses, emails, phone numbers, etc…and I was transferring them to my little Rolodex – when I noticed that I had forgotten to get the zip code of one of my friends.No problem – I’m computer literate, I can look it up on the United States Postal Service website. But, for some reason, when I went to “zip code lookup” at the USPS site, they asked me for the house numbers, street name, city, and zip. YES. THE zip. They asked ME for the zip code – por que? So they can tell me what I already know? Or is it so they don’t have to tell me anything! Or is it that I am a secret shopper for the postal service, so secret even I didn’t know by the way, and as the postal secret shopper, my job is to ensure that they are all doing their jobs. Well. Sorry guys. I’m marking you down for a D plus on this little test!It would have been an F if the zip code box had been marked “required” and not an optional field; then I REALLY would have had a blast with it – but as far as I’m concerned, it was funny enough as it was anyway! :op

Simple Warming Directions

Notice anything about this packaging from a Sara Lee apple pie? Look closely!!!! Want a hint?

Ummmm.....I don't know about YOU, but I can assure that you I do NOT have a "turtable" in MY microwave! Soooo...if anyone out there warmed up their Sara Lee pie in the microwave, you may have dodged a bullet, because the directions plainly say that if you don't have a "turtable" in your microwave - you should use the conventional oven!

Let's Start this Party!

I've been thinking for quite some time about having a place to share my random, sometimes downright ditzy thoughts, and my first couple of attempts at starting a blog were pretty much failures - I didn't have time, I got sidetracked easily, or I just plain got tired of talking to open space, never knowing if anyone even really heard me!

I've been saving things that "tickle" me, and I'm going to post them here, whether anyone is out there or not, just so I can see my words in print!

Now, to explain the title of this blog.....I thought it up while in a flu shot induced delirium - but I also had crazy dreams about John Wayne taking me flounder gigging and my husband transporting us around all over kingdom come, with the Duke singing of his undying love to me the whole time, so.........we shall see!

Sometimes I see things that just make me chuckle a little, and sometimes I get downright belly laughs going from the things I see around me...and I decided that life is full of nuts and dolts! No matter how intelligent and "on track" or even hoity toity a person (or company for that matter!) may seem, sometimes you just know that all systems are NOT go!
