Democrat versus Republican


Subject: 12 REASONS TO VOTE DEMOCRAT

When your family or friends cannot explain why they voted Democrat, give them this list.
 Then they can then pick a reason from this "TOP 12"..

1. I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.


2. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

3. I voted Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

4. I voted Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.

5. I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away  in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.

6. I voted Democrat because I'm not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.

7. I voted Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away the social security from those who paid into it.

8. I voted Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrats seefit.

9. I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.

10.. I voted Democrat because I think that it's better to pay billions to people who hate us for their oil, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher or fish.

11. I voted Democrat because while we live in the greatest, most wonderful country in the world, I was promised "HOPE AND CHANGE".

12. I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my ass,
it's unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view.

Working ragged

Texts while son was working as full-time Head Cook at Summer Camp, WI





J: So...my belt just broke...wanna buy me a new one? my pants won't stay on


Me: Use a rope. Ask Denay for one.


J:Right, like that wouldn't look trashy.  I'm head cook, mum. I need to look respectable


Me: You are behind the counter...No one sees you...You are not allowed to date, anyway


J: Uh...I am quite regularly asked to speak to the guests, especially when obsessive parents and dangerous food allergies are involved


Me: All right, if a rope is not good enough for you, go ahead and buy a Walmart belt


J: Yay...Uh...mind if I hit up Target instead?


Me: Whose car are you driving?


J: Camille's; mind if I buy $7 flip flops? Thank ye


Me: What happened to the ones we just bought you?!


J: They...broke

Chopin-Waltz No.7 in C sharp Minor

Mr Alex, two of our children's Piano teacher, can not stop raving about this man, his personal favorite ---Pianist, Evgeny Kissin.  
When a Russian-schooled/trained concert Pianist, who happens to be my kids' piano teacher, starts raving about another Russian concert Pianist, I had better pay attention!!
