I LOVE a full moon  ...... so mystical ... I feel all witchy.  Tonight is a Blue MOon  ... No it is not really blue ....

ONCE IN A BLUE MOON

I'm sure you have heard the saying or used it when you were telling your husband the next time he could buy another garden GNOME .... whew thank God I didn't say that ..... a blue moon is merely in our urban tale-ology the full moon that happens twice in a month. Astrologically, it is the the 3rd full moon in a season with four full moons .... don't ask me what that one is called .... Either way it won't happen again till 2015 !

And in honor of Neil Armstrong (buried today) his family asks for those who see tonight's moon to wink at it to remember him by.

Someone at work said she had her oranges ready .... I didn't get either .... for the Beer silly ..... I prefer wine so I'll toast Neil !!!

I'M GOING THERE ......

Time for a vacation picture aaaaaaaahhhhhh.....

Okay it is not the pool at my beach house. It is however the house in front of it .......... Close enough !!!!

I WANNA GO THERE

THERE IS Grace Bay on the island Providenciales of the Turks and Caicos! Imagine yourself swimming in water so clear you can see every shark coming at you for miles .... admit it you think about it.   I could use a vacation ...... hmmmmm let me see ... let me see ......  husband luke warm about the beach scene .......  I see recession has hit the here too ...... little more affordable than the last time I looked at this place ........ five hours flight ... sick hubby can do that he says ! ........ What hotel price is good ....... hmmmm what is this? A new web site with rental houses ..... Found good deal for beach house .... One last thing ....... Tell hubby there is a CASINO .............................. WE'RE IN !!!!!!

 I have been looking at this place for about FIVE years .... We are going in November!  Until then I shall torture you all with pictures of my future destination. We shall start with this one  ...... That will be me in that snorkel gear in 3 months ..... hmmmm I better stick to the diet to get into that bikini!!!

Here comes Honey BOoBOo

Let's face it, plain and simple this is the JUNE Show. Honey Foo Foo is nothing but background noise compared to her MaMa. I'll admit I was ready to write this show off as one of the typical TLC ..... one of the biggest exploiters of "different" lifestyles .........  reality trash jackpots!  It is beyond all the Rock of Love tour bus whores, Counties of Housewife Beeochees and drunken Bravo Bad Girls Club or "Jersey" reality anythings.

June for all her white trash antics is who she says she is.  She is the mom of an obnoxious tot beauty queen and three other girl teens  ... one knocked up but June admits so was she at that age ...... . She proudly touts herself a southern redneck. She isn't pretty and knows it. She isn't petite and perfect and she flaunts it.

She is surprisingly sensible  ..... hey did she let her daughters go play in the bacteria ridden swimming hole at the Redneck hoe down ? ....... yet predictably fun, outspokenly ...... and cringingly ..... slutty yet a world of knowledge on womanly lessons learned from the hard knocks that life has punched her with.  Her home appears clean and well stocked and yes she isn't seen feeding her family highly nutritious or organic food but as a semi-extreme couponer she is saving money on a tight fisted budget  .... okay 20 boxes of milk duds are not on my shopping list either but she had coupons where she got them for FREE.

 If she manages to not let TLC Executives lead her astray into becoming a "Kate Gosslin" she could have a long long long entertaining TV career. Although the last episode I saw, TLC set her up for a SPA visit ...... hmmm where oh where have I seen that before (19 Kids and Counting, Little People Big World, The Little Couple, Table for 12, Jon & Kate AND KATE + 8, etc.)

OKAY TLC "WRITERS" THE SPA EPISODE IS OUT OF THE WAY!!!! ........ now take your "unique" show concept ideas, stick them somewhere .... JUNE will tell you where ...... step aside  and let us see the real June!

THE HYPOCRITE’S GUIDE TO HEALTHY

I admit it.  I tumbled off the wagon ........ a bit .... the last few ..err.. weeks ...ummm..... OKAY it was the MONTH .... THE MONTH .... THE WHOLE MONTH of July! Oh ..... and maybe part of August TOO!!! But I'm baaaack to that diet. Thankfully, I did not gain. As of this morning it is official .... I LOST 20 LBS !!!!!

WHAT I REALIZED WORKED FOR ME: Don't limit yourself to starting your diet on MONDAYs. Only starting on MONDAYS = FAILURE. If you don't make it through the day you have given yourself a whole 'nother week to stay fat.

I "start" a new diet everyday, I'm bound to stay on it all day on one of those days!

BINGO UPDATE !!!

Bingo's "owner" showed up ....... finally after 5 DAYS ..... . with a plan of some sort apparently.

The plan? Show up at the VET’S office as an indignant screaming white trash banshee ….with outfit and face paint to match ….. , acting out for the clients in the waiting room that SHE is the injured-party of this conniving VET who is out to extort money from her for unnecessary medical care given to her dog. Yea he's faking that broken leg there ..... They did not get permission from her to treat her animal. SO uuuummmm aaahh ... Banshee ...... when you woke up out of either your liquored up or drug induced stupor ....  that apparently lasted FIVE DAYS ...... this was best ploy your small impaired mind came up with to NOT pay the VET bill?

When she found out daughter .... who happen to be there when the banshee arrived ..... saved her dog from the street and brought the dog there ..... NOoooooo ...... Thank YOU wasn't what she had in mind ....... she yelled she was going to have her arrested for .... wait for it ..... kidnapping!!

Needless to say police were called. Police said you are not getting the dog white trash banshee. Police made her leave empty handed.
Lesson learned today: Banshees who abandon their dog for five days do not have the police on their side. 

Nor are the police on their side when they show up the next day .... knowing there is a transfer to the shelter ..... to prevent the dog going to the care shelter. Especially, when are screaming you want the person who saved your dog arrested as you luge for her and grab on to her.
Lesson learned that day: Those actions do not get banshees dogs. It gets them a set of handcuffs and a free ride to jail. I have a feeling she has been there before .........

  

I "C" HORRIBLE PEOPLE

Five days ago youngest daughter witnessed and had to get out of the car to saved a dog that was hit by a vehicle on a busy State Route ....... 4 lanes with added turning lanes where every driver thinks they are going slow if they are doing 60 ......   The small dog would have been hit again and as my strong minded daughter step in front of cars to stop them they angrily honked and screamed at her.  Fortunately for the dog she scoped him up and took him to our VET. Youngest talks of becoming a VET tech and has interned in a VET office .... she had to help with operations and gagged up whatever the first few times afterward ......  so, she is used to seeing animals hurt. This pooch got himself a broken leg out of his adventure.

The scuffy little dog .... not him in the pic by the way .... had a collar with a name .... BINGO .... and the phone number of the owner. Youngest visits her rescue everyday .... and he wags his tail and looks happy to C her ..... since she took him to our VET. The VET's office staff told her they have been calling the owner 4-5 times a day and left messages as to what happened to and how their pet is. NO RESPONSE. This is where I would normally rant but you are probably already doing that so .... I will save my energy!

Of course, daughter wants to adopt him BUT we have an old pooch that would never put up with a newbie. The VET has made arrangements to send BINGO to a local organization "no kill" shelter called ANIMALS FRIENDS. There he will have a better chance of having someone that really wants him and take him home instead of the scum bags he obviously ran away from!

I'd like to get my hands on that collar phone number!

Never a DULL Moment.......

Don't you just love the headlines from London!

The heart tuggers:

DOUBLE AMPUTEE MAKES SEMIFINALS - Oscar Pistorius ... or by the nickname Blade Runner .... lost both legs as a child but has always been an athlete.  Is it a little too "6 Million Dollar Man" and an unfair advantage ? ..... the future will tell.

QATAR'S FIRST EVER FEMALE OLYMPIC ATHLETE PULLS HAMSTRING AT STARTING BLOCK - It is a religious thing that females are/were not permitted to compete in sports in Qatar. What changed their minds? Qatar wants to host the 2024 Olympics. Olympic committee said "not a chance in hell, with your antiquated views on the place of women in your society" ...... okay roughly what they said.  SO, .... suddenly ..... Qatar is allowing women in sports  .... hmmmm may be it wasn't done for such "religious " reasons after all!!!




The Things I didn't need to know:

ST. KITTS/NEVIS ATHLETE SENT HOME - don't shed any tears for this moron ..... He couldn't follow the simple rules of his team officials: NO ONE IS TO LEAVE THE ATHLETE VILLAGE PERIOD. Simple enough you would think, except  for this arrogant bastard left anyways. NOT for a few minutes, not for a few hours .... DAYS .... DAYS!!!!! Where was he? In a London hotel 'GITTIN' SOME' from his wife ..... SSSSSERIOUSLY ???? I don't feel sorry for you. You were there probably on your Country's dime, expected to medal in a once in lifetime international stage and you can't keep it in your pants for 2 weeks ???? GO HOME .... you are now officially a loser on the international stage ..... AND I've been to Nevis/ ST Kitts it  ain't all that ..... now you have to stay there and git all you want 'cause now you have the time.

RYAN LOCHTE PEES IN POOL - Sigh ..... AND tell me which one of them hasn't that might be the bigger news .... You wait 4 years to write reports from the Summer Olympics. This is your lead story? .... good luck on your writing career !
