?? Questions??

1. Would you eat something you could shake hands with???

2. Why did mr. kenju lose his wallet here Tuesday night? What a sinking feeling; knowing you've lost all your credit cards, insurance cards, driver's license, etc., not to mention cash. The answer: it was instant karma, because he took me to task quite strongly while I was driving him there, because I took a wrong turn. There's an old saying....."God will get you for that...." - and He did. LOL

Update: wallet found!! I made the bed this morning and a bit later, standing in the hallway looking back into the bedroom, I saw it - just under the edge of the bed. Crisis averted and he owes me bigtime!! Now, all the calls he made to credit card companies, etc., have to be re-made and rescinded.

3. Why can't people who disagree with you on politics just keep their mouths shut? I don't mean on blog posts, where they have a perfect right to express themselves. I am referring to email and face-to-face conversations. I've had two more emails recently from the guy I told you about before (whom I knew in high school). He is so anti-Obama and all other current officials and he can't seem to keep a lid on his hatred. He would be the last to admit that much of his abhorrence stems from racism, but I know that is the root of it. I should just delete them, and from now on I promise I will, but on Sunday I fired off yet another missive (which I am sure will fall on deaf ears - just as his email did with me.)
Update: He answered; saying he knew it was pointless to try to argue with a fool. I replied the same. That will be it - I know I will not answer any more.

4. Why can't people simply learn to be considerate of one another? I recently gathered up a bunch of letters, photos and memorabilia that my mom and dad saved from the 1950's, concerning a fraternal organization to which they both belonged. I mailed them to a woman in that same group, who had told me that their centennial was coming up this summer, and that ephemera from the past would be great for them to have during their festivities. It cost less than $10 to send it, but I did want to know that she had received it. After five days, I had heard nothing from her - so I sent an email asking about it. She wrote back that it did indeed arrive and she was looking forward to sharing it with her fellow members. Would it have been so hard for her to let me know that without having to ask?

Surely she knew I was interested in knowing it had arrived - I know she did - because I put a note in it saying as much. I was really put out that I had to ask. I didn't need an elaborate thank you, just confirmation. This goes hand in hand with my recent rant on people who do not RSVP to invitations. Pooh on all of them!
