Christmas.......Bah humbug!

Not really lol, I'm just grumpy.

Thank gawd, it's all over but the cleaning up. It was a more hassle-filled Christmas than usual since my mother and gran are STILL not speaking since LAST Christmas! So this meant that we needed to go my grandmothers place on Christmas Eve and then do the hour's drive to my mom's place.

Interestingly enough, I went with my younger brother. I usually see him about twice a year but now that I'm closer he seems to want to get together more often. Hmmm...maybe it's just because he wants my computer 'expertise" hahahahaha. He has a house in what could be called cottage country and he is going to be renting it out in the summers to all you 'Merican visitors. Thing is he doesn't want to handle all the internet advertising, setting up a webpage for it and handling dealing with people who want to rent it. So he's decided to get me to do it for him and he'll pay me a certain amount from every week the place is rented. We'll have to see how it goes but if anyone is interested in renting a lovely three bedroom house on Rice Lake this summer - email me LOL.

Anyhow, back to Christmas. My grandmother bought me a couple of lovely sweaters (that I'll probably never wear), Katie gave me the complete works of Jane Austen (shut up, I like them lol), Rowan and Mr. M gave me a set of the Romantic classics (Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte etc) my parents gave me a new set of pots and pans (gawd I love that woman lol), my youngest brother gave me a new phone, my other brother gave me a digital compass for the car (nice but not useful since I don't have a car lol), Sioux and her lovely hubby gave me a paid membership to Pogo.com and BT gave me............not a damn thing. I think he's waiting for payday this week and I'll tell ya, it better be good! lol I'm not well pleased with him at the moment as he hated his present and made me return it, whined that the jeans I bought him are too tight and just generally was a damn wet blanket.
Ohhhh, Potsie even bought me a prezzie - he gave me a computer game for Christmas and another one for my birthday. Very thoughtful of him.

I'm not doing anything for New Years (as usual) and I even get to spend my birthday alone. Katie has gone to her dads place for the week and BT had already promised to go and spend time with his cousin and aunt on Friday - and it's a family thing so I'm not invited. Not that I mind too much, birthday are just depressing when you get to my age LOL.

Anyhow (somone's fav word) Merry Ho Ho to you all and I hope Santa was good to everyone. I hope everyone has a happy and healthy 2006 too.

The Post Office can kiss my........

Well finally got out and about today. The laundry was breeding in the hallway and I think laughing at me so I at least got some of that done. I also went to the Post Office to send out some things - see about a week ago a package that I sent to Zoe (of My Boyfriend is a Twat fame) was returned to me - from the stamps etc on the package I don't think it ever left Canada!!! I've rechecked the address and it's right so out it went again and I of course got to pay for it again. GD Post Office. I hate them. I also sent out a couple of other packages and the Christmas cards that I have written up. Do you have any idea what those bastards are charging to send a simple CARD to the UK???? Thankfully though, everything is sent out. I'm off to burn my paper replica of Canada Post now. hahahahahahahahahahahahaha oooo think I need to lie down lol.

A man with seconds to live.......

Ouchie

Sorry I haven't been around much lately but I've thrown my back out and sitting at the computer has been the last thing on my mind. HOpe to be back to myself soon.

I felt the need to share

I found this in the 'net the other day and thought it was incredibly funny and I thought I'd share.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a east coast resident, which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative:


Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them:

When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your devoted fan,
Jim
