SAINT JOSEPH IS COOL

In folklore

St Joseph with the Infant Jesus, Guido Reni (c. 1635).
Burying a small statue of Saint Joseph on a piece of real estate for sale is reputed to enlist the saint's assistance in finding a buyer.[35] Some versions require the statue to be buried upside down. Some believe that the saint's statue should be disinterred once the house sells, to avoid the property repeatedly changing hands; others leave the buried statue in hopes that Saint Joseph will continue to protect the property.[36]

Molly, I am very familiar with trusty St Joseph. My house was on the market (approx 4 years ago) for 5 months, my mother told me about my friend St. Joseph and three weeks later we had a good offer.

There are "rules" to St. Joseph so I would go to a catholic supply (not christian supply catholics are the only crazy people that pray to saints) and ask them exactly what you should do with the statue.

This is what I did: Me and my mom dug a hole in the front yard buried St. Joseph upside down covered him up with dirt, then said a prayer. My mom said the prayer because she is the religious one, so therefor I can not recall what the prayer consisted of. Then all my neighbors looked at us like we were kooky and then I went on with my day. Oh yeah my mom said I was to dig the statue up, however she told me that approx one year after I had moved so I really can't see me going back over there saying "hi remember me you bought my house do you mind if I dig some holes in your front yard I need my St. Joseph statue back."

SICK-O

Well, it finally happened I have received my fall cold. This happens every year at the end of September or somewhere in October. It is inevitable because of the blankty blank peanuts. The farmers start to harvest the peanuts about this time every year and I am highly allergic.

It is awesome how you feel, first it starts with extreme pressure in your head for two days, fatigue and dizziness (i mean stars and all), then it will progress to snot dripping down your throat, and by Saturday I am sure it i will be in my chest and I will be coughing up big balls of green Flem. I am so excited I can not wait to see how my cold progress's. I have received this lovely illness every year since I moved here. So this will have been my 6th time to get this lovely visitor.....however this time I am going to take care of myself because I refuse to be on the following drugs: inhaler, cortisone, antibiotics, decongestant and a nasal steroid..............oh yeah have you ever been on cortisone you will not sleep for days I think it may have speed in it!!!

MY CITY IS COOL

I know I give E town a hard time however for a small town they are very proactive when it come to recycling and other "green" activities.

The latest adventure Enterprise is embarking on:

They are requesting all the restaurants (and home owners) that have grease traps to donate the oil to the city. The city will come buy clean their "grease trap" and hall away the yummy oil. Enterprise (I have no idea how they are going to do it) will then use the oil to fuel their fleet. For example the buses that take the kids to school, the garbage trucks and other city owned vehicles (not police cars they need gas to go fast).

The sad thing is no restaurants have volunteered (i have no idea why not i mean someone will clean your shit and haul it away for free!!!) So now the mayor is going to business to business personally to ask for the donation. Pretty cool.

I wonder when the oil is being burned if it will smell like fried chicken?

FAT CAT

I have destroyed my cat. Actually I have not Billy has, he keeps giving her wet food, I give her weight management hairball control (mmmmm sounds good).
So why have I destroyed my cat. The fat ass today tried to jump onto a chair and did not quite make it. This is a cat that used to be able to hop a 8 foot fence balance on top of the fence and then jump down.
Maybe it is the feline aids or feline leukemia that is getting to her.... Did I mention her breath smells like assholeamio!!!!
Oh yeah that is not my cat above "kitty" is not that fat yet, however she may be there soon.

Good News

I guess I have been ranting a little much (this coming from a loyal meepmeep reader) so I have decided to put some happy news on my blog. So when you want to only hear good news, what do you do? Go to Google of course and type in good news....DUH!!! So I found this website and I figured I would share it with you. By the way there are no ads on this site and it is .org so no pesky agenda's by people who you know "have there own agenda."

The "Market"

One Merger, two Merger, three Merger, four, five Merger, six Merger, seven Merger ore. OH the market today!!!!! Could it be any more crazy. So what about these companies that are going bankrupt or being bought out by the government.....Or Better yet since we have been giving all our moola to the middle east (you know gas and all I think it has been in the billions) I hope they do not buy all our companies up......they may relocate them and then the employees would have to work where it is super duper hot (I am joking they would not hire us we are to expensive so there would be no relocation).

So lets hope these mergers, buyouts, and bankruptcy, all end up in the American economy's best interest (who knows it could be like the boll weevil you know the bug that ate all the cotton in Enterprise...the community suffered however Enterprise then decided to plant peanuts and had an economic boom and now peanuts are the cash crop). I do not know anything about economics (that class sucked all it consisted of was a bunch of formula's) so all I have is hope!!!!

WHAT TO DO?

So of course I live 8 hours away from my family and Billy's family. So of course when they come to visit they always stay with us. So what do you do when both families want to come at the same time. Now do not get me wrong I have enough room that is not the problem, the problem is my sanity. First of all my Dad and I do not always get along and I do not want Billys family to witness the spectacle (trust me I try and I try and I try but sometimes I can not hold it in any longer and when he is being a poopy butt I have to tell him).

The other problem is I am the one they always ask questions for example, Bernadette what do you want for dinner? Bernadette where are the spoons? Bernadette you should move your sofa to the other room. Bernadette why don't you and Billy have 4 kids? AHHHHHHHHH

Not to mention someone always compromises my recycling bin (you can not put half full yogurt containers or half full soda bottles in my bin), please quit slamming the door, please do not let the water run (this is the biggest problem), please do not let your dog bark all day long and pee on my floor, please do not bring a bunch of crap from Paducah that you think I want in my house to put on display ( I do not want this shit because I do not have the room and it is ugly).

So now that I have gone on and on can I ask them to all stay in a hotel? I am sure I can ask my parents they do not care and I actually do not care if it does bother them. However, what about Billy's parents can I ask them to stay in a hotel?
