just one can
Mommy! Why is his name Rasputin?
Huh? I don't know, go back to sleep.
I cover her up, back to my room, get under the covers.
She okay?
Yeah, she just called in to ask me something - why is his name Rasputin?
Wonder who she's talking about.
The guy in the bible or a cartoon.
Bible?
Yeah, the Russian.
There are Russians in the bible?
Here's to a stress free and enjoyable Turkey Day to those of you who may be celebratin'.
I miss the jellied cranberry sauce. The stuff in the can. Open one end then the other and watch that perfect can shaped glob of sauce as it slides out making that shllllorplonk sound. I do not like the fresh stuff. I know.
I am way behind on my Reads of late. Something caught my eye yesterday. It was only a matter of time. I can not for the life of me understand WHY one group gets special priviledges. Why must the world bend over in appeasement? If a Christan/Jewish/Hindu/Buddhist/Pagan/etc group lobbied a major stadium for a prayer room don't you think the idea would be poopooed? Besides Oh God We Need a TOUCHDOWN!! Who the hell prays during a football game? Why exactly is a special room needed? And why are these special priviledges extended to only ONE group and not ALL?? Prayer Rooms and Pigskins. What next? Don't call it pigskin anymore? Cheerleaders are offensive? It seems like all are trying their best to appease once certain group. Changing the rules in the name of multi-culturalism in order not to offend. Why is it so important this particular group is not offended as opposed to others? If ALL the other groups were prone to explode would there be greater equality?
Yes I know I promised another Zibcast. I will do it after the nap. Should be up today or tomorrow. And yes, the felted dreidel pattern will be posted then as well. Hey, maybe I can get the man to give us a Sicilian lesson! Ohh plottage!
In good time, in good time.

Ahhhh, yes, the "splutch" sound. That's the only kind of cranberry sauce hubby likes, too.
I hear ya on the prayer thing. We had a middle school 'bout an hour from here where -- GET this -- they had kids chanting Muslim prayers during a social studies unit on Islam. I'm sorry, but if they had had kids chanting the "Hail Mary", the "Sinner's Prayer", or the Jewish Sabbath candle-blessing prayer (sorry, don't know what it's called), people would have raised holy hell. Sigh. This is what I get for living in CA, specifically in the San Francisco area.

I love fresh cranberry sauce. But my family all likes the canned kind. So now when I host Thanksgiving, I make sure to just plop it into a bowl so that it is standing up, looking just like a can.
I am getting so sick of all this PC crap. They end up offending more people by trying NOT to offend certain groups. This is why WalMart, among others, will not get any more of my hard earned money.
