Our local bank has a braille sign on the drive through ATM, and a big sign saying vehicles only. It didn't stop the woman on horseback from going through in front of me, and they still did her transaction.... Annie

Well, I guess I'm going to be the party pooper here. Of course, here in the "frozen north" I've never been to a Chik Fil A, a Senor Taco, or a Mrs. Winner's fried chicken. I just don't like fast food, period. I've been known to have a baked potat…

I also have family members in the service, and my father is a Korean veteran, my uncle did two tours of duty in Vietnam, my Grandfather was in WWII, and my great-great grandfather served in the civil war. Some family members are in Iraq now. Altho…

Hmmmm, I drive a full sized 1997 Dodge conversion van, but in a prior life I had an MG Midget. I wouldn't go for either of these, if I were overpaid I'd have a Hummer. If I have to have something obscenely over-priced, pretentious and self-importa…

I don't have a labrador retriever, I have a dachshund. I also don't have a lake, I have a swimming pool. Each fall, on their migratory flight south, geese try to use my pool as a stopping off place. Each fall, Wonderweiner stands guard. They nev…

I didn't answer the other question. My birthday is May 30, and I turned 48 this year. I don't know if anyone famous was born that day, but it was Memorial Day back before they manipulated the holidays. For years I believed my father when he said …

I'm a Gemini, the sign of the twins. Purported to be fickle and two-faced, but a great communicator. I am gregarious, which I suppose makes me a communicator, but I am also fiercly loyal and never say anything behind a back I wouldn't say to a fac…

Celeste, iced tea is actually good for you, as long as you drink it unsweetened. Well, it's good properties still exist, but they are overshadowed by the sugar. Tea, according to many recent studies, is "an antioxidant stew", filled with those can…

I have some pictures of my kids but nothing else. I don't really like a lot of "stuff", the clutter bothers me. I have a secretary whose cubicle I avoid like the plague. She has various stuffed animals, pictures of every family member and some th…

blw, Independence Day has come and gone, but tell those sons thanks, for me. Annie

Well, it's past the holiday, so maybe it doesn't count, but..... I have a pool in the backyard and never sit by it, it's too boring. I'd rather be out on the trails on my big black Morgan gelding, letting him run until he wants to stop or challeng…

Yup, I'm from the midwest. I had to wait for SIX, yes that is 6, cars this morning before I could pull out onto Main Street. Biggest traffic jam we've had here in ages. No tractors, but I did get behind a woman on a horse at the drive-though bank…

To go with the devil's advocate, I have been scheduled, rescheduled and cancelled because someone else had been hired before the interview process was even completed. I've been kept waiting for hours and asked to come back another hour, day, week. …

I hope so, I'm 48 today. As for that Corvette, had one in my 30s. It was a white hole into which I threw money. My all time favorite car: an MG Midget, no back seat there either, but I was told that was what those long front hoods were for. Ann…

I've been employed by the county for 25 years now. One of the Assistant Attorney's did the interview, and asked respectful and intelligent questions. The boss came in and was asked if he would like to ask me anything. He asked me two questions: …

Geez, I'm from Michigan, I thought our motto was "9 months of winter and three months of bad sledding". Actually, Michigan is a beautiful place, but don't tell anyone before you know it those people from Ohio will want more of it. On second thou…

HRQ, my office has the perfect solution: No music at all. Our staff runs the gamut from a 50 year old lawyer who was classically trained and sang professionally for years to our "baby", a 20 year old with a propensity toward Linkin Park, and just …

Sorry, HS, I know it's a Pink Floyd classic and I know it's sung that way for a reason. I still hate it. Call me strange, every single singer, band, group has at least one song I don't care for, I can't think of a single one that I like EVERYTHI…

I can listen to nearly any music, although my personal taste leans heavily toward classical. (Ravel, anyone? Or Beethoven's Fifth?) Drives my kids nuts, which makes me like it more, LOL. Particular songs have really, really made me nuts though. …

Hmmm, I cook and I bake, and I can my own produce, etc. I had a local lawyer buy a jar of my home canned salsa last year for $10 a pint, wish I'm made about 100 more of them. That said, I think I'm most "famous" for my cookies. I use them as rewa…

The only difference between a 1955 Chevy engine and a 1956 Chevy engine is that one has an alternator and one has a generator. Annie (yeah, so I'm a gear head)

ray a, we're only a day apart. My birthday is May 30, and I'll be 48. For years I didn't have to go to school on my birthday since it was Memorial Day. Then they messed with the holidays and the good life went down the tubes. LOL(Not yet 50, but…

OK, I'll play: Soap Opera Name: Marie Adda (sorry, that just doesn't cut it for me). Exotic Name: Freckles RR#3 (???) Guess I'll just stay Annie (Angela when I'm feeling exotic)

Every WalMart I've ever seen is a barfy yellow colored metal pole barn type building. Red brick? Unheard of, it costs too much (King of the discounts, remember?) We have a plain ol' WalMart in the next town over, which is currently in the proces…

Tongue in cheek? Darn, I agree completely. I do have a pager which I use only when out of the office, no one has the number except my support staff, my boss and my kids. I refuse to get a cell phone. (Actually, I did get one once, but since it n…

Maybe I'm over-stressed at work, but I refuse to get annoyed at the grocery store. I don't mind the slow elderly people, because I'll get old myself someday. I don't mind the teenagers gossiping, because I was a teenager and was the same way. I e…

Before you jump to any conclusions, I want to add a little (true) story. I am of the age where family members were in the Vietnam war. When my cousin was drafted he gave his Mom an American Flag and asked her to fly it right out in front, every…

Here in Michigan, the state that has two parts connected by the Mackinac Bridge, you are a Yooper (from the U.P) or a troll (we live under the bridge). We are surrounded on three sides by water, so you aren't far from one of the Great Lakes, no mat…

I just wanted to "stick up for" the lady with the chickadee in her house. I got a panic call from my daughter one day about an hour before the end of my shift. A squirrel had gotten down the chimney and was in our fireplace. Of course, he couldn'…

I work for a county and they have the same requirement. In addition, attendees must ride together, thus saving mileage allowances. I will admit that I work for county government, where we should be careful stewards of the tax payers' dollars, so I…
