Kookie Cookie Karma
Restaurant New York, USA

Me: “Can I help you, ma’am?”

Customer: “Yes. What are these?”

Me: “That is a fortune cookie, ma’am.”

Customer: “It doesn’t look like a cookie. Where are the chocolate chips?”

Me: “Ma’am, these are a different kind of cookie. You open them up and they tell your fortune on a piece of paper.”

Customer: “What kind of cookies have paper in them!?”

Me: “Fortune cookies, ma’am.”

Customer: “This is an outrage! Cookies are meant to be eaten, and paper isn’t EATABLE!”

Me: “Please, ma’am, the paper is–”

Customer: “Shut up! I’m leaving.”

(The customer begins to storm out but in her anger misses the door and walks right into the wall. When she finally stumbles out, I open up the fortune cookie and read its message: “Do not worry. You will get what is coming to you in life.”)
This made my day

Filters


I really need to get the filter back in place right now.
I have become " That Person" .
You know the one.
The one that others instantly regret asking " How are you ?"
Everything has become just so much too much that I dodn't realize that I had become that person.
I hate being THAT person.
I hate being around that person.
People that I can talk to know who they are .
For all others, the answer to the question is " Fine , and you ?"

Happy Bastille Day


HappyBastille Day !
I know it's an odd holiday , and yet it was one of my fathers favorites . The family stories are too long and frankly rather suspect to go into here...tho tempting in my quest to avoid making THAT call....but I will refrain for now.
Buy a bottle of wine.....toast a baguette......buy some frommage.....and them go and actually read the Declaration Of The Human Rights of 1789
The Declaration of the Human Rights (1789)
The 1789 Declaration of the rights of man and the citizen was inspired by the American Declaration of Independence of 1776. The French Declaration marked the end of the Ancien Régime and the dawn of a new era. The Constitution of the Fifth Republic explicitly refers to this Declaration, which is now one of our founding texts.

History
The Declaration of the rights of man and the citizen, along with the decrees of August 4 and 11, 1789 abolishing feudal rights, was one of the fundamental texts adopted by the Constituent Assembly formed in the wake of the meeting of the Estates General.

Although adopted in principle before July 14, 1789, several drafts of the Declaration were discussed before deputies voted for the final text, after lengthy debate, on August 26.

It consists of a preamble and 17 articles containing various provisions pertaining to the individual and the Nation. It spells out such "natural and indefeasible" rights as liberty, property, security, and the right to resist oppression. The Declaration also recognizes equality, notably before the law and justice. Finally, it asserts the principle of the separation of powers.

Louis XVI did not ratify it until October 5, and then under pressure of the Assembly and the people, who had marched out to Versailles. The Declaration served as the preamble to the first constitution of the French Revolution, adopted in 1791. Although the Revolution itself subsequently reneged on certain of its principles and framed two further Declarations of the rights of man (in 1793 and 1795), only the August 26, 1789 text has remained in posterity. It is now one of the founding documents of our institutions, and notably the constitutions of 1852, 1946 and 1958.

During the 19th century, the 1789 Declaration inspired similar documents in several European and Latin American countries; The French Revolutionary tradition also helped inspire the European Convention on Human Rights signed in Rome on November 4, 1950.

The text

The representatives of the French People, formed into a National Assembly, considering ignorance, forgetfulness or contempt of the rights of man to be the only causes of public misfortunes and the corruption of Governments, have resolved to set forth, in a solemn Declaration, the natural, unalienable and sacred rights of man, to the end that this Declaration, constantly present to all members of the body politic, may remind them unceasingly of their rights and their duties; to the end that the acts of the legislative power and those of the executive power, since they may be continually compared with the aim of every political institution, may thereby be the more respected; to the end that the demands of the citizens, founded henceforth on simple and incontestable principles, may always be directed toward the maintenance of the Constitution and the happiness of all.

In consequence whereof, the National Assembly recognizes and declares, in the presence and under the auspices of the Supreme Being, the following Rights of Man and of the Citizen.

Article first.

- Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions may be based only on considerations of the common good.

Article 2.
- The aim of every political association is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are Liberty, Property, Safety and Resistance to Oppression.

Article 3.
- The source of all sovereignty lies essentially in the Nation. No corporate body, no individual may exercise any authority that does not expressly emanate from it.

Article 4.
- Liberty consists in being able to do anything that does not harm others: thus, the exercise of the natural rights of every man has no bounds other than those that ensure to the other members of society the enjoyment of these same rights. These bounds may be determined only by Law.

Article 5.
- The Law has the right to forbid only those actions that are injurious to society. Nothing that is not forbidden by Law may be hindered, and no one may be compelled to do what the Law does not ordain.

Article 6.
- The Law is the expression of the general will. All citizens have the right to take part, personally or through their representatives, in its making. It must be the same for all, whether it protects or punishes. All citizens, being equal in its eyes, shall be equally eligible to all high offices, public positions and employments, according to their ability, and without other distinction than that of their virtues and talents.

Article 7.
- No man may be accused, arrested or detained except in the cases determined by the Law, and following the procedure that it has prescribed. Those who solicit, expedite, carry out, or cause to be carried out arbitrary orders must be punished; but any citizen summoned or apprehended by virtue of the Law, must give instant obedience; resistance makes him guilty.

Article 8.
- The Law must prescribe only the punishments that are strictly and evidently necessary; and no one may be punished except by virtue of a Law drawn up and promulgated before the offense is committed, and legally applied.

Article 9.
- As every man is presumed innocent until he has been declared guilty, if it should be considered necessary to arrest him, any undue harshness that is not required to secure his person must be severely curbed by Law.

Article 10.
- No one may be disturbed on account of his opinions, even religious ones, as long as the manifestation of such opinions does not interfere with the established Law and Order.

Article 11.
- The free communication of ideas and of opinions is one of the most precious rights of man. Any citizen may therefore speak, write and publish freely, except what is tantamount to the abuse of this liberty in the cases determined by Law.

Article 12.
- To guarantee the Rights of Man and of the Citizen a public force is necessary; this force is therefore established for the benefit of all, and not for the particular use of those to whom it is entrusted.

Article 13.
- For the maintenance of the public force, and for administrative expenses, a general tax is indispensable; it must be equally distributed among all citizens, in proportion to their ability to pay.

Article 14.
- All citizens have the right to ascertain, by themselves, or through their representatives, the need for a public tax, to consent to it freely, to watch over its use, and to determine its proportion, basis, collection and duration.

Article 15.
- Society has the right to ask a public official for an accounting of his administration.

Article 16.
- Any society in which no provision is made for guaranteeing rights or for the separation of powers, has no Constitution.

Article 17.
- Since the right to Property is inviolable and sacred, no one may be deprived thereof, unless public necessity, legally ascertained, obviously requires it, and just and prior indemnity has been paid.

Check These Blogs Out

I read a lot of blogs for a variety of reasons.




Some are the " dreaded cat blogs" , which stands to reason since we are the parents of six cats. These blogs are entertaining, whimsical and surprising in the willingness to take up a call to raise funds for charity. One to check out is :


www.ittybittykittycommittee.com

The woman behind it fosters kittens pre adoption in the Seattle area and it that wasn't enough, also does some DIY crafting and the most wonderful pictures of her " clients" . I am in love with Orson...check out his picture in the right side of the blog.


The other one in this fashion is :

www.hubblespacepaws.blogspot.com

These lovely people work at STSCI and promote the adoption of abandoned animals . Follow the adventures of Miss Mama Peggy Sue and her kits....It's " Big Bang Theory " with tiny feets .




Others are ones that are devoted to the food service industry and I follow those because long ago and far away , I worked in it , ultimately managing a restaurant in Washington state.

Then there are the food blogs.....anyone who knows SU and I doesn't even begin to ask why.


I reply with a comment on some, and have developed a dialogue with those authors. Other times I have sent a reply when an author is upset because they have just had their first drive by from a troll.

I don't believe in anonymous posters, they are chicken shits of the first water and I personally would never do that. I don't care if people post shit in reply to me...I ignore it much as I ignore some blogs completely.

It's a matter of manners and good taste.

Check out a new blog , google a new topic..you might just be surprised , really.

Have a great weekend.

Fabio Viviani



As I said in the previous post, there is a lot on my plate right now that I just do not want to go into right now.
Some of the people I work with read this blog and if I have to start answering questions right now , I will really lose it.
We are doing the best that we can with this and I am sincerely praying for the best in all of this....
So...
As a diversion for all of us...
Fabio Viviani is baaaaaccccckkkkkk.
He is on Bravotv.com with a series of video's demonstrating the winning recipes from this seasons " Top Chef Masters ".
Besides being adorable, he shows quite easily the charm that was edited out of the season he was on.
He is open and engaging, not at all the " Loser , Know It All " he was portrayed as.
Sigh.
I 'm going home now to carry on the good fight.

FYI : SU...you know what I am talking about..it's not you per say so please do not go there....it's my turn for the panic attacks okay..I've f'ng earned them.

Does it come in blue ?















You really have to feel sorry for dogs that end up in Hello Kitty fanatic homes. Whether they are putting you in Hello Kitty dog clothes, placing a Hello Kitty muzzle over your nose, putting you in a Hello Kitty doghouse, placing a Hello Kitty head over your own or forcing you to get a Hello Kitty tattoo, life pretty much sucks all the way around. Of course, a Hello Kitty fanatic won’t stop there. When you old and you can no longer walk on your own, your owner will promptly embarrass you to no end by getting you a Hello Kitty dysplasia orthopedic brace:

Thankfully, I can sleep easier at night knowing that the hubbs won't be asked to make this up.....it's weird enough at times to hear about their work as it is......and by weird , I mean droning on and on and on and on and on...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Finally.
The last of our " boys" is finally moving out of his parents lovely abode.
The Crazy Cajun's youngest child is getting married around October of 2010.
She is a lovely girl and I can't wait to see how all of this progresses.
Her family is by and large Hispanic and also a part of the Houston Police Department , some of which we met at the graduation ceremony .
This is going to be a hoot.
Given the size of the families , I'm glad I am not involved in the planning, though I know at some point my hubbs will be drafted.

" Ethics ? We Don't Need No Stinkin Ethics "








You have to wonder if the Grand Old Partiers (GROPERS) in Harris county are just plain stupid when it comes to ethics reforms. Harris County Commissioners are looking at some simple ethics reforms such as voluntary registration by lobbyists (like voluntary jail time for sex offenders) or posting all financial disclosure forms online, or mandatory ethics training.Mandatory ethics training might have made Commissioner Jerry Eversole think twice before traveling around the country buying antique books, authentic cowboy chaps or a $25,000 antique pistol with his donors money, or spending a day golfing and working out on county time, but look what Eversole thinks about ethics reforms:




"I have had my problems, but my problems are getting worked out. This is putting something into the air that doesn’t need to be put there because the majority of Harris County government has been good."
Uh...like former Harris County DA Chuck Rosenthal who resigned? Or how about Ed Johnson of the Tax Assessor Collector's office? Or Paul Bettencourt who quit two weeks after being elected? How about other GROPERS like Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, or State Senator Dan Patrick. Or State Representatives Rob Eissler and John Davis. All who have been fined tens of thousands of dollars by the Texas Ethics Commission.
Eversole should be the last to be talking. Over the last year and half he has spent over $40,000 in legal fees probably because of Wayne Dolcefino's three part investigation or the ethics complaint that was filed against him for using his campaign money for personal use.
The GROPERS of Harris County are about as interested in ethics reform as Sarah Palin is in joining the local Toast Masters Club. Ethics reform is just a talking point and campaign issue that keeps going and going and going. Just like the abortion issue, the flag burning issue, the immigration issue, and any other issue they do nothing about.
They are a bunch of do nothing party of GROPERS.

Aren't They Cute Playing Dress Up ?



Today's hilarity is brought to you by : http://www.notalwaysright.com/

Enjoy.

Och, A Communal Kilt
Scottish Import Store Toronto, ON, Canada


(I work at a Scottish import store that specializes in kilts. We mostly rent them out for weddings.)


Me: “Okay, guys, you’re all fitted up. Everything will be ready for pick-up the Thursday before the wedding.”


Customer: “Guys, you know what we have to do, right? We have to go commando! No wearing anything under the kilt!” *to me* “That’s the way to do it, right?”


Me: “Well, gentlemen, we don’t have a policy on that one way or the other. Personally, though, before you decide, I’d advise you to take a moment and consider ALL the implications of the word…’rental.’”


Customer: “What? But…oh…oh! Ewww!”

Ok...This made me find a much better mood.


I really do hate it when the morning starts out the way this one did ...I really do .
It sets the tone for the rest of the day and I know that there is no chance of improvement so I found the above on the foodnetwork addicts blog and I just had to share . I love his reviews if the new season of NFNS ( Next Food Network Star ) because they are pretty much the same view point that I have.
Now , if you want really funny ....go over to TWOP ( www.televisionwithoutpity.com) and read read the recap of Bravo's new show , " Prep School Prep" or whatever the frak it's called.
It's soooooo appallingly bad that it makes anything MTV has ever or will ever air and or produce look to be of Masterpiece Theater quality..
Just sayin ............................
Have a great week, we're half way through it gang.

Twice Now !


FAIR WARNING DEPT : RANT ALERT.
You have been warned.
I love the fact that some of the people I work with and one in particular see nothing wrong with walking through the lobby area and saying nothing in reply after being greeted with a pleasant " Good Morning ."
Not once but twice.
Full eye contact.
Genuine Smile.
If I can make the effort on a day when we continue to actually set records with 100 + actual temps and now 30 days with out rain.....how lovely for you to look me in the eye and not once but twice not even have the simple courtesy to reply.
Nice.
Very professional , I might add.
It just makes me want to try harder to be the polar opposite of that , pissed and yet engaging...patent pending y'all.
Have a great day and try to be nice to someone else, it costs you nothing after all.

Brownies Anyone ?


Ok..I know it's been a very long week and it's hotter than Satans Underoos , but this made me laugh my ass off all day.
It's been an okay week save for the fact that I suspect something is up with the MIL .She called me at work (!) to check a few things on a recipe that her child and I use A LOT .
Nothing unusual there save for the fact that she is not in the habit of calling my office and I am always on " RED ALERT " when she does.........with good cause I might add .
So we chit chatted and this thatted as best as we could , work permitting and then we get to the bones of it all.
It's been 14 months since her open heart surgery last year and she's lost about 40 to 50 lbs..which she could ill afford. Now granted , when someone does a plate for her at supper , they do the lil old lady version..not a whole lot but a variety of things we know she likes.
She , as is now her habit , will take 3 bites at most and then scoot the food around on her plate .
I'm never quite sure if this is the " Toddler avoidance of Brussels Sprouts" or the Anorexics Adagio.
But ...I have my plots, plans and permutations..oh yes I do .
You see, my local best friend ( I have 3..one on each coast and my Nee Nee) Nee Nee's Daddy is the folks preacher.
I work with Nee Nee.
Me: " Nee Nee..I need a favor."
Nee Nee : " Sure honey....whazzup ?"
Me: " I need Big Daddy to do a drive by on Mother "
Nee Nee Picking Up The Phone " Hi Daddy.......yada yada yada"
Nee Nee then shares that Mother had to leave the service this last Sunday because she was in some considerable pain.
That in itself is a long story and the only thing you need to understand is Cancer and a woman who has had all the treatment she can have at this point , plus the heart issues .
Hisself and I know what we are facing and he will be spending Fathers day with the folks.
It is what it is .
Enjoy.

Not SPAM

I usually strive to avoid a soapbox here, but this is very important. I recieved this today and this is not SPAM .

Please consider the following :





Dear ****,


As the U.S. fights two wars, the military wants more recruits -- unless they are gay. "Ask Not" is a compelling documentary that reveals the human toll of those impacted by the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) law.Watch this powerful film airing this week on your local PBS station. Check listings here for air times in your area:


http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/broadcast.html?edit_st=y


As the documentary illustrates, the human cost of DADT has been profound. Just look at one of the most recent casualties of the law: Lt. Col. Victor Fehrenbach, the F-15E aviator who has served 18 distinguished years and is about to lose his pension and his career.Each of us can do our part to change hearts and minds. Get your friends and family to watch this touching story of hope and courage:


http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/broadcast.html?edit_st=yYour support is helping -- especially right now -- in the fight for repeal of DADT.

Thank you.

Regards,

Had to share this , sent by the bestus gal pal.





It is the month of August, a resort town sits next to the shores of a lake. It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town. He enters the only hotel,lays a 100 dollar bill on the reception counter, and goes to inspect therooms upstairs in order to pick a room. The hotel proprietor takesthe 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to the butcher. TheButcher takes the 100 dollar bill, and runs to pay his debt to the pigraiser. The pig raiser takes the 100 dollar bill, and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel. The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to the town's prostitute that in these hard times, gave her "services" on credit. The hooker runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100 dollarbill to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients there. The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 dollar bill back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not suspect anything. At that moment, the rich tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms, and takes his 100 dollar bill, after saying that he did not like any of the rooms, and leaves town. No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now without debt, and looks tothe future with a lot of optimism. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States Government is doing business
Sounds about right to me.

I am going to be nice to CT and his lovely bride and not post the Space Cow here. They anticipate a move in the next few years to Ottawa ( yeah ) and I know that CT would find an appropriate moment to place us and a moose in the same shot.


Hey..throw in a cute RCMP and I'm game....eh !

The above photo is of Munchkin or Nee Nee Puddins as her mother ( Moi ) refers to her.


My mates are in Florida on the holiday that we were supposed to be a part of but things-RL seldom work out that way.


They have thunderstorms right now and I asked that they send it this way as it is still as hot as Satan's Underoo's down here with no chance of rain for the next 10 days or so.


I've lived down here for more than half my life and while I am the first to admit that my blood has thinned out as far as cold weather is concerned...this is a bit much .

We are all convinced that this year is going to be a bad one, it's rarely this hot this early....but then we didn't expect IKE last year either .

I'd Buy A DryCleaning Business If This Actually Sold



The Stars of SkyMall


Image courtesy of PC World


Wine Glass Holder NecklaceAbsentminded lushes rejoice: Never again will you have to wander around a dinner party wondering, "Where did I set down my wineglass?" With the handy Wine Glass Holder Necklace, your glass will always be right where you can find it -- suspended in front of your chest.Just clip the glass's stem to the plastic holder and you'll have both hands free to raid passing hors d'oeuvres trays with a vengeance. But be wary of sudden, erratic movements, as the holder puts your glass in dangerous proximity to your shirt, making dry-cleaning bills a common hazard. To avoid fashion faux pas, you should probably wear this accessory only with ensembles that include a fast-drying burgundy shirt and black pants. The Wine Glass Holder Necklace consists of a piece of plastic that fits around the stem of a wine glass, and a nylon lanyard that goes around your neck -- and for all that fine material you'll pay only $24.95! -- Robert Strohmeyer



I swear to Gaia, if this crap actually sold , I'd buy a drycleaning bidness so fast ....

A tragic twist of fate led to another death today.
Johanna Ganthaler and her husband Kurt were on holiday in Brazil and were supposed to be on the doomed AirFrance Flight 447 from Brazil to France last week, which fell out of the sky into the Atlantic Ocean. Fortunately for them, they missed the flight. But Sky News reports that the Ganthalers were in a car accident today — and Mrs. Ganthaler was killed.
Some may say fate works in mysterious ways. Our thoughts and prayers are with her, her family and all of those touched by this terrible tragedy.


My thoughts go out to everyone.
