Economic consumption

I have been thinking ( a dangerous place for my mind to be alone) and have decided to start adding little thoughts ( no pun intended) about how as a society ( okay, maybe just as a family unit)we have evolved into needing things ( cars, houses, quantity of items) of a much larger capacity.

My first example. Ford Expedition makes a great SUV capacity of 8. With the average family being 2 parents and 2.75 kids ( still scratching my head with a child who only counts as 75%), why the need for 3 extra seats? Have we decided we don't like being close to each other???, Forbid the time when little Johnny 'creeps' over to little Susie's seat in the car...( I grew up with the 'He's in my seat, he's touching me, he's looking at me' ( Tramp, I am NOT talking about dating at the drive in....then it would've been Carrie's is touching me, she's in my seat...etc HA HA)

Anthropologists will decify us hundreds of years from now and perhaps discover that we needed the extra space because we couldn't handle the conflict resolution of sibling situations that our parents handled while we were unsecured in a car going 70 down the highway with Mom swinging her arm behind her trying to grab one of us!

Happy Marriage advice from Husband

FOR A LASTING MARRIAGE 1. Two times a week, we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship.
She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.
2. We also sleep in separate beds.
Hers is in Calif. and mine is in Texas.
3. I take my wife everywhere.....
but she keeps finding her way back.
4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary.
"Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said.
So I suggested the kitchen.
5. We always hold hands.
If I let go, she shops.
6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric
bread maker. She said "There are too many gadgets and no
place to sit down!" So I bought her an electric chair.
7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because
there was water in the carburetor.
I asked where the car was; she told me "In the lake."
8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days.
Then the mud fell off.
9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling
"Am I too late for the garbage?"
The driver said "No, jump in!"
10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.
11. I married Miss Right.
I just didn't know her first name was "Always"s.
12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months.
I don't like to interrupt her.
13. The last fight was my fault though.
My wife asked "What's on the TV?" I said "Dust!"

Eat and Park smiley cookies

I have decided that I would love to have a new kitchen, just for the looks- the magazine appeal...I am not a cook, have never even tried to disguise myself as one. Sadly, in this time of summer picnics, my kids prefer store bought potato salad to homemade- why? They have only had store bought. Same with cookies- Eat and Park smiley face cookies are the favored among the family. I think my children would choke on a home made cake. So if anyone wants to come and give cooking lessons, feel free- my children are the lucky recipients!


Truth be told, I enjoy the clean up more than the headache of what to cook and who will eat what.

If I had a new kitchen, I might be expected to perform.....

Have I told you about my kick ass front load washing machine? My kids NEVER complain about their clothes!


Happy 4th of July....put down your drink long enough to thank a soldier ( past, and present)- enjoy the fireworks and SING the NATIONAL ANTHEM with your hand over your heart and take the damn hat off!
