Well I have nearly conquered another chapter in my life. Round ? is coming to an end. I’ve lost track over the years. For the last 9 months I have attended classes of one sort or another in an effort to get my personal train back on the tracks. It’s not been easy, as I am somewhat (that’s laughable even as I write it, because I am Taurus the Bull to the core) set in my ways and the derailment came as quite a shock. So now that the midnight oil has been burned, and a couple more white strands of hair have appeared, I begin to close yet another chapter in what hopefully is a long life.

I accomplished what I set out to do and that was make good grades, pass all my classes, and pass my national certification tests. Now I face the daunting task of selling myself via resume. Gone are the days when I could walk in and fill out an application, smile, and expect a call asking to set up an interview in a few days. It makes me wonder how many well qualified, capable people are jobless or under employed because those that hire rely almost comletely on a single sheet of paper to determine who they interview and hire. It makes me feel as though I need to take a class in “Expert Bullshiting” to clear this final hurdle.

Oh well, tonight I’m gonna lay back in my tub and soak my cares away. For tomorrow is another day, and it is then that I will reach into my bucket and summon any and all experts to avail themselves to my resume dilema. For now, Goodnight and sweet dreams.

The top 59 things I wish would just go away once and for all!!!

Dear Republicans,

You want U.S. troops on the ground in Libya. Enlist your offspring in the armed services and I’m sure President Obama would be more than happy to accommodate you and send them over there to fight and possibly die. What? You didn’t mean “your” children!

The days of the middle class and poor dying in wars and conflicts for the sake of wealthy interests, need to come to an end in America.

Weed Wipeout

1 Tbsp. of Gin

1 Tbsp. of Vinegar

1 Tsp. of dishwashing liquid

1 Qt. of very warm water 

Mix all of these ingredients, and pour the solution into a hand-held sprayer.  Then drench the weeds to the point of run-off, taking care not to spray any nearby plants.

 Many thanks to JERRY BAKER “America’s Master Gardener” for this helpful, effective, and non-toxic (to humans) recipe to rid my garden and surrounding area’s of stubborn weeds.
