RIP 4/1/09--10/1/09

Time to open up the sock drawer except for an odd Winter holiday here and there. A couple of strong points to remember this past Spring, Summer and beginning of Fall"

“It’s the new male cleavage,” said Thom Browne, the men’s wear designer

and a professed ankle exhibitionist.

“You can’t believe the snickers and comments I get because

I’m not wearing socks. It sends people into a tailspin.”

ITALIAN PLASTICHIC WATCHES

While on a recent trip, I found this light weight, no sparkling jewelled watch. Purchased in a glass tube, it has been a lot of fun to wear and a great conversation piece.

Plastichic, the ultra stylish Italian lightweight silicon watch is now available in the United States through exclusive retailers. Tubular and ergonomically shaped with a flat back and anti-perspiration slits on the sides, Plastichic (The Original) has presented an unconventional use of Tourmaline® that can be worn comfortably to emphasize any personal style. Fashionable, colorful, practical and functional, the anti-sweat and water resistant Plastichic watch is the “timepiece cult of the moment”, as seen on celebrities David Beckham, Lindsay Lohan and Kristin Dunst. The aquamarine, turquoise, coral, green and orange, plus the 2009 shades of purple, pink, army green, acid green and fuchsia are just some of the colors that join the basic white and black. The timepiece is available in 19 different colors.

Urine or You're Out

I received the following comment from a friend, I believe this is a frustration for everyone paying taxes.

THE JOB - URINE TEST (Whoever wrote this one deserves a HUGE pat on the back!)

Like most folks in this country, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck in my case, I am required to pass a random urine test (with which I have no problem). What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. So, here is my Question: Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their ______- doing drugs, while I work. . . Can you imagine how much money each state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

I guess we could title that program, 'Urine or You're Out'.
Pass this along if you agree or simply delete if you don't. Hope you all will pass it along, though. Something has to change in this country -- and soon!!!!!!!

Thank you to Dave L.
