Mar. 27, 2015 - Friday Funny - Picture That!!!

This week's FRIDAY FUNNY happens 10-12 times a day.  Someone says something obvious (or stupid) and you want to reply with a "Really" or "Duh", but you can't.

Or maybe, YOU CAN.

Mar. 23, 2015 - PPM - "Un-Friends Has Benefits"

This week's PET PEEVE MONDAY is how real life does not mirror social media.  It would be awesome if you could "Unfriend" people in your real life as easily as you can do on FACEBOOK.

Case in point.  I have set certain standards on FACEBOOK.

I will "UNFRIEND" you if:

- Post ANY pictures of your cats

- Post pictures of your dog dressed in festive ware (Christmas, St. Patrick's Day, Used Lingerie)

- Post pictures of your meal

- Post pictures of your dessert

- Post pictures of your main course AND dessert (especially pizza shaped s'mores)

- "Like" everything I post. Even Taylor Swift has a bad song.

- Always posts uber political, religious comments. Or cats.

- Change your "Relationship Status" or "Gender" more than once a month

- Join Facebook as a "Couple"

- Constantly post that you have the best husband, wife, children, or CAT

I try to limit my FACEBOOK friend count to 200 people.  In reality, you really only need 6 strong friends when you die.  I do a spring purge each year on FACEBOOK.  I always announce in advance that the deletions are coming.  Some appeal for benevolence.  Some ignore at their own peril.  Some never see the "UnFriend" coming.

Conversely, I always enjoy getting "Friend Requests" from people who were never my friend in High School or work.  I recently responded to one:

"Dear, dear Kelly.  I remember how you refused to kiss me during the "spin the bottle" game in 7th grade on April 7, 1975.   You now want to be "Friends" on Facebook and you need a cow on Farmville.  I don't think so." 

I've MOVED ON.  I forgive, but NEVER. NEVER forget.

Mar. 20, 2015 - Friday Funny - Just Saying

This week's FRIDAY FUNNY needs no introduction other than. "Just Saying."

Mar. 18, 2015 - Leadership has a Face

Congratulations should be offered to Benjamin Netanyahu on his re-election as Prime Minister of Israel.

These are turbulent times in our world and Great Leaders are developed in their youth, their upbringing,  and their schooling.  We are reminded of this FACT every day.

Remember, Adversity doesn't DEFINE character, it REVEALS it.

Mar. 16, 2015 - PPM - Coach's Wife AGAIN

I'm reminded this week as we head into MARCH MADNESS of a previous PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) from 8 years ago. 

It concerned the fascination with the college basketball coach's wife.  (A MUST SEE CLICK)

Unfortunately, the situation has not improved.  Now we have the wife of the coach on Twitter commenting about EVERYTHING.  In some cases, she has more followers than her husband coach.

I think we can all agree we don't need to see Bill Belichick making out, EVER!!!.

By the way - Can ANYONE name Woody Hayes' wife?

Mar. 13, 2015 - Friday Funny - Oops, There She Is

This week's FRIDAY FUNNY takes me back to a time when there were no cell phones.

Had phones and texting been around, I would have probably received the below text form my ex-girlfriend.

I had what can only be described a "Psycho Girlfriend."  For my own safety, no one would tell me of her mental state until I had moved 2,532 miles away from her.  Then again, restraining orders are only a piece of paper, and plane tickets are really only a piece of paper as well.  

Mar. 6, 2015 - Friday Funny- WWE Referees?

This week's FRIDAY FUNNY has always puzzled me. 

Why are there referees in the WWE?

I remember watching the WWE when it was called the WWF.  It was in the mid-80's at a bar in Dayton, OH named Urban Suburban.  What I remember was there was a table of guys watching a Pay Per View World Wresting Federation event.  They were KEEPING SCORE and drinking Diet Coke by the pitcher.  KEEPING SCORE?

My only question was, "How did they get out of their Momma's basement after dark?"

Mar. 2, 2015 - PPM - Online Wolf Cries

This week's PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM)  is the growing trend of Facebook and Twitter postings that are misleading, hoaxes, or outright lies.

Last week, a gay rights activist in Cincinnati claimed he was abducted and put in the trunk of his car.  He didn't call 911. He decided to post Facebook updates.  WHAT?

It's time to hold people accountable for their online posts much like we used to for their fake "sky is falling" pronouncements. It diminishes the REAL tragedies, crimes, and rapes by falsely posting and promoting a story or agenda online.

These lies will only distract us from actual emergencies and crimes and desensitized us from real crimes and emergencies.

At some point these false pronouncements will be treated as crimes much like yelling "Fire" in a movie theatre. The time is NOW.

Mar. 1, 2015 - Loser of the Week - Axelrod

This week's LOSER OF THE WEEK is former Obama front man, David Axelrod.

Axelrod recently stated, “I'm proud of the fact that basically you've had an administration that's been in place for six years in which there hasn't been a major scandal.”

REALLY?  Here is a partial list of scandals and Obama still has 2 years to go...

- IRS targeting of Tea Party Groups
- Benghazi blamed on YouTube video
- NSA monitoring of AP reporters
- Fast and Furious
- Obamacare rollout and non-Constitutional subsidies/exemptions
- VA mismanagement
- Solyndra and other green energy corruption
- Unauthorized Libya war
- Dream Act / Immigration policy

For saying Obama has had NO scandals, David Axlerod, you are the LOSER OF THE WEEK.
