Gun chips?

If the animals we love can get chips inserted into them so we can find them, then why not 'chips' for guns, rifles, assault weapons etc.  This in addition to background checks for those who purchase these products.  If these guns are used in the commission of a crime, it would make sense it wouldn't be the one who registered them,  just a good way to perhaps follow the path of the perps and stolen weapons.................marge

My wake, according to marge

Before I die, I want to have a pre-wake.  I want all my friends (alright, just about anyone I can get, but screening will be required) to  speak at said 'wake'.   I  only want to hear good, uplifting  words about all my kindnesses, generosity, comfort to others and intelligence.  Anyone not able to do this need not apply.  I would do the same for you.  Honest......................marge

The real leading cause of death....

Unplanned, certainly unwanted and never expected.  Death or near death by stupidity.  We've all been there.  Three seconds one way or another, or I'll just do it this one time (taking an unsafe shortcut) nothing bad will happen. It does though.  You and I are still here.  We promise never to do such a stupid thing again.  Have we really learned?  I keep hoping!...............marge

Aprons or fishing poles etc.

In the past century, when I was growing up, the males were in their category and we females were in ours.  For whatever reason, I fell into the fishing pole one.  I am SO grateful!  Before I was a teenager, I walked through corn fields with the 'men' hunters carrying a loaded rifle.  Alright.  The safety was on.  I wandered through and visited with the mechanics at my dad's dealership on a regular basis.  So as a result, I more or less prefer talking to men.  Sitting around talking to (yawn) sorry, women,  doesn't always  (memories hang on) cut it for me.  So to all you women out there who might think I'm cuddling up to your husband, think again, I'm not, for real.  And yes to you doubting Thomases,  I can cook.  My children's most favorite supper (dinner)  came on one of the hottest evenings of the year.  They still remember.  I served Tin Roof Sundaes.  Seemed reasonable to me.  And if you're not sure about Tin Roof, look it up.................marge

Bugs Bunny

Growing up we watched for years what I now believe to be totally narcissistic behavior.  Oh what we weren't trained to see.  There were probably many more popular cartoon characters of his ilk.  Does anyone ever remember Bug Bunny doing anything that wasn't self serving?..............marge

Should I, could I would I.

I'd like to write a book.  If Sarah Palin can, perhaps I can too.  Things I've found out on the way to my blog.  Putting the word 'sex' in the label section will get more readers.  Now to see if it will work two times.  But I digress.   MY Christmas story (perhaps not a 'book'). will be about my 'Charlie Brown Christmas Tree'.  It won't have pretty lights on it but there will be a small spotlight for after dark.  It brings out the Christmas spirit in me.  It proclaims that size or number of ornaments are of little consequence.  I don't even have to keep looking at it.  I can close my eyes, see AND feel its beauty.  It is everything I want it to be.  No limitations and the wondrous feelings are endless.  The best part of a 'Charlie Brown Tree' is that anyone can get one and I heartily recommend you do.........marge

Why?

I've been watching the Spanx  ads on my computer.  I'm not sure how these wonderful body shaping underwears are a help to the 'average' person.  So far, every model appears to be a 'perfect 10'.  It would seem, they are definitely not in need of this product.  So why not use some of us 'averagers' to promote Spanx?  Would that make a fantastic selling point?  "Hey you 'averagers', want to look like a 'perfect 10'  Here's your chance..............marge
