    The Rules of the South

    THE RULES OF THE SOUTH ARE AS FOLLOWS:


    1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.

     

    2. Turn your cap right, your head isn't crooked..

     

    3. Let's get this straight; it's called a 'gravel road.' I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

     

    4. They are cattle. That's why they smell to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-40 goes east and west, I-75 goes north and south. Pick one.

     

    5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 cotton strippers that are driven only 3 weeks a year.

     

    6. So every person in the south waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.


    7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in,we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.


    8. Yeah, we eat catfish &; crawfish. You really want sushi & caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.


    9. The 'Opener' refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

     
    10. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.

    11. No, there's no 'vegetarian special' on the menu.  Order steak.  Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.

    12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes:
    meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup! Oh, yeah.... We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat... IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!!


    13. You bring 'coke' into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice. You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair. ( don 't you love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)


    14. College and High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.

     
    15. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it spooks the fish.


    16. Colleges? We have them all over. We have State Universities , Universities, and Vo-techs. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at everybody when they come for the holidays.


    17. We have more folks in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. So don't mess with us. If you do, you will get whipped by the best.

    18. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump crap ain't music, anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers! Refer back to #1!

    Do as You Will

    Doing what you want because you want to, rather than letting the judgment of small minds hold you back, is an act of courage that will draw like-minded people to you and scare off those who don’t have the strength of character to withstand your light.

    One Nation Under Wal-Mart?!

     

    Let Wal-Mart Do It

     Very disturbing…. could it be Wal-Mart’s the Anti-Christ??  J

     

    1. At Wal-Mart, Americans spend $36,000,000 every hour of every day.

    2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!

    3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.

    4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears + Costco & K-Mart combined.

    5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private employer.  Most can't speak English.

    6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the World.

    7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger & Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only 15 years.

    8. During this same time span, 31 supermarket chains sought bankruptcy (including Winn-Dixie).

    9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.

    10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers;  this is 1,000 more than it had 5 years ago.

    11. This year, 72 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at a Wal-Mart store. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 billion.)

    12. 90% of all Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart.

    13. Let Wal-Mart bail out Wall Street!

                This one I added:

    14. Let Wal-Mart underwrite healthcare insurance so it can be affordable for all Americans!!

    Tough Love vs Spanking

    Editorial on Parenting Techniques:

    Most of the American populace think it wrong to spank children, myself included, so I have tried many other methods to control my kids whenever they have one of 'those moments.' One that I've found particularly effective with my son is taking him for a car ride and talking things out.

    Some say it's the vibration of the car, others say it's the time away from any distractions such as TV, Video Games, Computer, etc.  Either way, my son usually calms down and stops misbehaving after our car rides together. In case you would like to learn the technique, I have included a photo of one of those sessions with my son.

    Signed,
    It's Under Control!

    Study links attention problems to early TV viewing - Yahoo! News

    I've found this to be true of my own children as well as those of friends and family. Think it's about time for us parents to stop kidding ourselves.

    Until We Meet Again

    It hasn't yet begun to sink in .
    Birthdays...
    Easter...
    Christmas...
    the birth of your first Great-Grandchild...
    all the many life-events yet to come
    ...... how can these possibly be "celebrated" with  your presence, laughter & wisdom so obviously missing?
     
    I am feeling lost.
     
    What will I do? What will we do?
    Without your insight?
    Without your instruction on "excruciatingly correct behavior"?
     
    Connie.
    My mother and sometimes father-figure; you taught me the value of tough love
    My spiritual mentor;  you taught me that being "Christian" really means being "Christ-like" and changed my world forever.
    My cherished friend; a shining example of non-judgementalism 
     
    Connie.
    Our very own "hotline to God".
    Will you keep us on your "list"?
    I'm sure hoping so!
     
    Did I tell you often enough how much you meant to me?
    or how much having you in my life made it a better place to be? 
    You were the most important thing my Daddy ever did for me, you know!
     
    Do you realize how much I love you??
    How much I'll miss you?
    I'll be okay, I promise
    for I know I'll see you again ...
    ...somewhere
    ..sometime
     
    For a little while, though,
    I'll indulge this awful sorrow
    like a drought on my heart.
    the tears fall like rain ....
     
    Until we meet again,
    Your heart's child.
    D
     
    NAMASTE'!

    Talking about Graduation Day

     

    Quote

    Graduation Day
    Connie passed away peacefully in her sleep at 2:10 this morning, exactly one week before what would have been her 68th birthday. For those hearing this news for the first time by way of the Blog, I sincerely apologize. There hasn't been enough time to take care of necessities and contact everyone personally. I hope you will understand.
     
    There will be a preliminary obituary notice in tomorrow's Augusta Chronicle and in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Funeral arrangements are pending and will be included in the full obit. which will come later in the week.
     
    Being extremely short on living space, I would like to ask that donations, in lieu of flowers, please be made to Christ Church Unity in Connie's honor.

     This is what I'm busy doing lately.

    The Connie Blog Intro

    Hello & welcome to "The Connie Blog" !

    I'm Donna, Connie's Spiritual offspring/step-daughter and I'd like to start by offering sincerest thanks for the bounty of concern, prayers and well wishes coming in. "WOW! You guys are so AWESOME! Please know that I'm doing my best to personally return any and all calls, however, Connie being the popular girl she is, there have been so many that I'm having a little trouble keeping up! I suspect at least a few calls -- if one of these was yours, please accept my apologies -- may have been overlooked in the busyness of the past week and I've decided that a BLOG might be a more efficient way of getting the word out to more people.

    I took advantage of the optional guest book available so folks can post notes to her and will have a laptop there so she can read them daily. Will recap our anti-adventure below and by tomorrow should have particulars as to her progress, (and I am expecting progress :-) current whereabouts, etc. by tomorrow.

    Connie was admitted last Friday through the ER @ University Hospital after collapsing at home. After 12 hours, a barrage of redundant questions, assorted pokes, prods, scans, x-rays and the like, what was determined to be the official diagnosis was severe dehydration for which she was treated and slowly but steadily continues to recover from.

    Wonder Why That Is?

    Wisdom
     
    1. Don't worry about what people think; they don't do it very often.


    2. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.



    3. It ain't the jeans that make your butt look fat.



    4. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.



    5.  For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.



    6. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.



    7. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.



    8. A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good.



    9. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.



    10. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it.



    11. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.



    12. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist is reversed.



    13. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.



    14. Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.



    15. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you do the same thing again.



    16. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.



    17. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.



    18. Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.



    19. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.


    20. And never, EVER take a sleeping pill and a laxative in the same night!

    Something to Ponder

    I really like this author's thinking!

       The Perfect Life Would Be Lived Backwards


        You start out dead and get that out of the way.

        Then you wake up in an old age home feeling better every day.

        Then you get kicked out for being too healthy.

        Enjoy your retirement and collect your pension.

        Then when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.

        You work 40 years until you're too young to work.

        You get ready for High School: drink alcohol, party, and you're generally promiscuous.

        You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, and have no responsibilities.

        You become a baby, and spend your last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, in spa-like conditions - central heating, room service on 

        tap, and then...


       ... finish off as an orgasm.


       I rest my case.

    Native American Woman's Prayer

    This is for all women who have ever loved an insensitive, shallow, prideful or callous man. May it bring you the strength to value yourselves and, if necessary, break away.

    Blessings, Ms Dreamweaver

              
    Great Spirit, I am Mother.
    I was made by You so that the image of Your love Could be brought into existence.
    May I always carry with me
    The sacredness of this honour.

    Creator, I am Daughter.
    I am the learner of the Traditions.
    May I carry them forward
    So that the Elders and Ancestors
    Will be remembered for all time.

    Maker-Of-All-Things, I am Sister.
    Through me, may my brothers be shown
    The manner in which I am to be respected.
    May I join with my sisters in strength and power as a Healing Sheild
    So that they will no longer bear the stain of abuse.

    Niskam, I am Committed Partner:
    One who shares her spirit,
    But is wise to remember never to give it away,
    Lest it become lost,
    And the two become less than one.
    I am Woman.
    Hear me.
    Welal'in.
    Ta'ho!

    Native American (Mi'kmaq)
