another intuitive genius........like me..........

I went to the corner store. While there, I picked up two ears of corn. Came time to check out. The young person on the other side of the counter looked perplexed. She then asked if I'd like three ears, instead of two. Now it was my turn to look perplexed. "No" I said. "Two are all I want". She then announced that they were six for $2.00. As I pondered as quickly as I could, the light popped on! Intuitive geniuses are NOT good at math! I did, however, reach the logical conclusion! (don't ask me how). The actual cost, is three for $1.00. I could do this! Rounding up, as stores do, making each ear, 34 cents! Oh the pride I felt....I also passed latin in high school over 50 years ago. Not by a lot though. Thank heavens for vocabulary tests, those were a life saver!.......marge

Dang those border crossers......

I was asked to vote yes, saying I'm in favor of the up coming Arizona law to take effect July 29, 2010. I have a problem with that. Besides, that law wouldn't help us in the Detroit area. We can't look at a Canadian and say "Ha"! You look a little, yes, a little different than my neighbor or I. We here in Michigan can only go by the difference in language. Then we have to be careful because they are good at disguising how they speak. They sound quite (U.S.) American. Their speech pattern is so similar as to be almost indistinguishable from ours. I was oot and aboot the other day and was almost certain I'd found one. Calling the police to check them out and being wrong would be most embarrassing eh?.........marge
