5 Quirks or idiosyncrasies

Stolen from Michele.

- When I make a sandwich, my bread has to match up just like when the slices were together in the bag.

- Public restrooms. I cannot do a certain normal function in them. Doesn’t matter how bad I need to, if someone walks in, it’s over. (I know that’s TMI)

- I have to have somthing to drink while I eat. I cannot “dry eat” as I call it.

- My shirts and pants have to be folded a certain way. Fortunately, it’s virtually the same as was required in Basic, but I’ve always folded my clothing like that.

- I have to minimize multiple computer windows, and cannot stand to even see someone else just scoot a window over to the point that part of it is off the viewable area. I just want to yell at them “MINIMIZE!!!”

So what’s yours?

Classic or Not

There was discussion on Rock 92 this morning following the reading of a letter to the morning show chastising the Two Guys Named Chris show for saying that Mike Reno (Loverboy) looked and sounded bad on Hit Me Baby One More Time. The letter rant went on and on about the impact of 80’s rock bands, and how the present day music is crap. I personally think Loverboy’s music from the 80’s isn’t all that great now, even though I have their greatest hits and still like the old songs. When I think of great classic rock, I think of bands from the 60’s & 70’s. Now, that may be because I was “in my prime” in the 80’s, and am having a hard time coping with the fact that my husband & I attended his 20-year high school class reunion last weekend.

So I’m curious about what the world outside of the Rock 92 listening area thinks about classic rock. Does it include 80’s rock bands, and if so which ones? Since I’ve gone there, which 90’s – present day bands can/will be considered classic rock? (One caller mentioned Nirvana.)

It’s Propaganda!

So, if “news” comes from the left, it’s responsible journalism, but if it comes from the right it’s propaganda. When I first read that article on FoxNews, I thought, “Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black?” After all, all you hear from “mainstream media” is dead Americans, the war is being lost, the US Government is torturing prisoners, and Bush lied. That, too, is propaganda. Seems to me, if you are only giving one side, true or not, it’s propaganda whether you’re conservative or liberal, Democrat or Republican, journalist or entertainer.

Because I need a break

I am realizing why I hate research papers. Besides, I can only spend so much time thinking about networking.

Friday Blonde Joke 2

Last year, I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive double-pane energy efficient kind.

But this week, I got a call from the contractor complaining that his work had been completed a whole year and I had yet to pay for them.

Boy, oh boy, did we go around! Just because I’m blonde doesn’t mean that I am automatically stupid.

So, I proceeded to tell him just what his fast-talking sales guy had told me last year… that in one year the windows would pay for themselves. There was silence on the other end of the line, so I just hung up, and he hasn’t called back.

Guess he felt really stupid, huh?

April 19, 1995

I was in Tech School at Keesler AFB. My husband had come down to Keelser for the week, and I had been meeting him every day after class for lunch. I met him after we were dismissed that afternoon, and he asked me if I had heard about Oklahoma City. He gave me some brief description, and we proceeded to lunch. The TV was playing footage from the Federal Building as we sat and ate. I already had my orders to Tinker AFB by this time, so I took a keen interest in it.

When I got to Tinker, assigned to the “3rd Herd” in the 31st Combat Comm Squadron, I was told about an airman from the 32nd, Cartney. Not having known her, I won’t tell the story, but I will link to a story from one of my buddies who knew her well. Wolfpack764 On the top menu, select Extras, and then Rants.
