WTF???

I missed my lucky time of day...again!!!

Today's Virgo horrorscope per Facebook, anyway...

You need self-discipline today -- and you've got plenty! That's a relief - having what I need...

You may just need to keep your big mouth shut as the folks around you make fools of themselves or you may need to avoid a mighty temptation. Nothing new there...

Compatibility:Capricorn
Mood:Tolerance
Lucky Color:Orchid
Lucky Number:28
Lucky Time of Day:2am What??? I was not even awake!!!

Who needs a license???

I just need an excuse...

Any excuse will do...

But this is great...

Chocolate and Strokes

Not one, but two, yes two, recent studies have shown ....

UNDATED -- Just in time for Valentine’s Day, we’ve learned about another benefit to indulging in chocolate.
Two studies found people who eat chocolate once a week have a 25 to 45 percent lower risk of stroke.
It's likely because of flavonoids, which can have a positive effect on blood pressure.
But, doctors say that’s not a license to eat candy bars every day.

Hell yeah, it is...

It is much easier to remember to eat chocolate than to take my BP meds!!!

I am a great follower...

...maybe a shitty leader, but a great follower.

Ok, maybe not a great follower, but a follower...

And for that I get awarded!!!!

Anything for an award...

Thank you Chris T in My Virtual Attic.

Yes, thank you, Chris...

I think...

Why do all these blogger awards come with rules?

But, being me, I see accepting this award as a way to break some rules....

Or maybe making up some of my own rules...

Acceptance of this award is suppose to entitle me to tell you 47 things about myself...

46 things asked by the award giver and one thing I get to add myself....

Which means whoever I choose to give this award to has to answer 48 questions....

Oh yeah, I get to share the misery...

So hear we go...

Recovering Catholic that I am...

Each Friday night after work Bubba would fire up his outdoor grill and cook venison steaks for the neighborhood.

All of Bubba's neighbors were Catholic. So during Lent, they were forbidden to eat meat on Friday.

On the Fridays of Lent, the delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their priest.

The priest came to visit Bubba and suggested that he become a Catholic.

After several classes and much study Bubba attended Mass.

And as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said:

"You were born a Baptist, and raised a Baptist but now you are a Catholic..."

Bubba's neighbors were greatly relieved...

Until the first Friday of the next Lenten season and the wonderful aroma of grilled venison again filled the neighborhood.

The neighbors called the priest immediately...

He rushed into Bubba's yard clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him...

But all he could do was watch in amazement....

There stood Bubba...

Clutching a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat and chanted:

"You wuz born a deer, you wuz raised a deer, but now you is a catfish..."

Thanks to my best-looking younger brother for sharing this....

It's SuperBowl Sunday....

And for me that means party time!

Partay...

With the Saints and the Sinners (aka Colts)...

Not that I did any sinning with Peyton Friday...

Since the Browns did not make it to Florida this year my interest in who wins or loses comes down to who's hot and who's not....

Go Peyton!!!!

To bring a little fun to the game, I like to play squares with whoever decides I am fun enough to party with...

I shop for after-Christmas specials and grab at least 5 prizes in the $8-$10 range and 20-30 prizes in the $1-$5 range...

I usually buy extra so the winners always have a choice.

And I buy things I can take back if we do not use them (or that I want and will keep for myself)...

CareBear offered to buy some of the prizes this year and she has much better taste than I do so I cannot wait to see what she bought....

The smaller prizes go to the 4 squares surrounding the winning square at the quarters.

I did buy a few scratch off lotto tickets for the smaller prizes, but I am a scratch-off junkie...

I cannot let them sit around too long without scratching...

So when Ames and G-Man came back early from the Cavs game that they did not have tickets for...

I decided to cheer them up with scratch-offs....

But I was the only one who got cheered up - winning $20 (sorry Superbowl partiers)....

But I used the winnings to buy the Cavs' ticketless couple some food from Red Robin, so they were cheered...

A little anyway...

Why were they ticketless, you ask???

G-Man's birthday present to Ames was club seats at a Cav's game.

Wow, big spender....

And for a weekend game - how did you manage that???

Well, apparently, he didn't...

The ticket taker found a problem with the tickets....

Hmmm, these are for Tuesday's game...

Yep, in the middle of the week....

On a school night....

Wednesday is going to be a bear...

Maybe I should take those tickets off their hands...
