Peace and quiet and just hanging out...

Life has many ordinary days where not much happens...really!
Although, I do know that on occasion I have been known to look for trouble, well not really look for it but I have a big problem of disagreeing with others, I suppose that will do, yes that’s it.

Today, I wrote two emails complaining; one was for a grammatical mistake in the newspaper, yep me…Miss Grammatically incorrect more times than not!
But this mistake was so simple that even a simpleton like me could see how wrong it was… “Blankety, Bankety was able to met its goal of raising $10,000 in donations”. Was the sentence although I did not put the organization’s name (it is not really blankety, blankety) in for this ridiculous mistake I would think it best to protect the grammatically incorrect. I told the managing editor by email that the word should have been “meet” not ”met”, and I think you all would agree that even with my minimum ability this time I got it right, right?

Any-who, the other email was to the www.dollarsformammograms.org , you see they sent back my application, and prescription with a note written on the application stating that I would have to re-apply in November of 2009, since I applied too soon from my last mammography from last year. But that was why I was applying now, so they could decide by then! If I waited until the last minute then would they approve me or would I have to look elsewhere? So that is why I felt it necessary to ask that question, because what they said is, “You are not eligible to apply until November of 2009. Resubmit application at that time. Returned with script 9/24/09.” I ask all of you, what would you think? So I let them know my concerns in that email, and went into quite a bit of detail why I was so concerned, so we will see what comes of it.

Now for something a bit controversial, my brother-in law who is, well lets just say quite conservative in his political views, and time and time again has felt that all liberals were communists and Atheists, wacko in my opinion, but he is my husband’s brother.
Any- who, it took me all this time but I think the next time he says that I have finally found a comeback to that , and here it is…then all conservatives must be Neo Nazis, and hate mongers! What do you think? Ludicrous both of our statements, but he is sometimes way too far right! And I suppose I tend to be slightly to the left, and more liberal all of the time.
He lives on the other side of the country and we speak very infrequently, but more so with emails that have been horrors at times with what he sends in his conservative genres, but Hubby has requested I just delete them and not respond, but you all know me by now, sometimes I just can’t!

Even when we lived in the same hemisphere way back when we always disagreed as young marrieds in our twenties; he had high blood pressure even then and he used to get so angry his face would turn red, and then I would stop with my logical reasoning or so I thought. Now we both have high blood pressure, how things do change but stay the same too.

Well, with that small insight into my trouble making abilities, nothing new page in my life’s ways…I will wish you all good night and to all take care, be safe, and count those blessings, and I will try and find some, but maybe that is why I haven’t been able to?
