Smurf Houseboys

I got an email entitled, How to tell if you grew up in the 1980's (as if one could forget). One of the ways to tell had somethign to do with the Smurf's. I used to be addicted to the Smurfs, even knew how to do The Smurf, but I had the real Smurf Science. I was able to see all of the hidden messages in the show. There were tons of social and political statements. First off, the Smurfs lived in an ALL MALE utopian society. They were ecstatically happy with no poverty and no crime. Everyone owned their own home,shared the work and walked around singing all day. Global warming was not an issue, there was no hole in the Ozone layer, no lawyers and no money.

And let’s say I've been here before. You know what I would do? I’d save it. Maybe ten bucks a week if that was all I had and just wait until I knew could pay. It might take a long time, but that’s what I would do. Is this where you are? But now, let’s say I couldn’t save it. Then what? Would you try to sell something? Anything? Drum up some business if you are a f...

Ugly Feet E-mail/Summer Open Toe Shoe Pledge

I got this in an email and I thought I had to share. I do not know who the original author was, put thanks to that person for laying it down. Alright it's that time of year "once" again!!! And based on this email that someone passed along to me I think we need to be reminded of a few things. So my sisters, PLEASE, raise your big toes and repeat after me below.... The Open Toed Shoe Pledge As a member of the Cute Girl Sisterhood, I pledge to follow the Rules when wear sandals and other open-toe shoes: I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps. I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe. I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow. I will shave the hairs off my big toe. I won't wear pantyhose even if my ...
