Okay, I give up--what the heck does emo stand for??? Just as I learn one crazy abbreviation I find another--and something tells me it is probably very easy!!!

Why
does TV schedule the beginning of "Survivor" and the finales of
"America's Got Talent" and "Big Brother" all on the same night and same
time? My finger is numb from going back and forth!

Allen
got back late Monday and for the first time in 3 weeks we had our
Wednesday lunch. I really missed my friend and our weekly get togethers. No more going away Allen!

Last week under the Gay Author Series I wrote about Emma DonoghueAJ and Dale will love! and this past week her latest book, "Room", was published and got
excellent reviews from the New York Times and Entertainment
Weekly--sounds like a book

I got hit with tendinitis in my foot again two days ago and, folks, it is not fun.

Sometimes
I wonder about the youth of today but then I know the generations
before mine wondered about us! Last week when I went to the movies,
using my movie reward card, I got a free LARGE popcorn and a free LARGE
soda. Not wanting to run to the bathroom all through the movie and
watching my weight--well wanting to watch it go down--I told the young man behind the concession stand to give me a small soda and popcorn.

I
wish I had my camera so I could have gotten a picture of the poor kid's
face. He really didn't know what to do so I suggested he fill a small
bag of popcorn and put it in a large bag and fill a small soda cup and
put it in the large cup. I had to come up with something because he
looked as if he would cry and/or get fired if he didn't give em the
large popcorn and soda.  How did he solve the problem? He called the manager over who said taht he should give me the small sizes, looked at me and shrugged his shoulders.

This kid could become the President of the United States a few years from now!!!
