Just saw this in a "Personals" Ad...

"...Not Only Will You Be Astounded By My True Beauty But My Intlecet As Well."

I'm sold. Anyone else?

Now I know how Fletch felt...

The visit to the Doctor's office is in my list of top 10 funniest movie moments. But last week life imitated art (the rest of this post won't make sense unless you either watch this clip or know it very well) -



For those who don't know, a couple of weeks ago my car died... big time. So much so I had to buy a new(er) one. From a used car lot I bought a '99 Ford Explorer. Now this car came with only one key (that's all they got from the seller). The key is "chipped" for Anti-theft purposes, so I decided to go to the nearby Ford Dealership to obtain a 2nd one (Can you hear the lid on the jar of vaseline being removed?).

Now they wanted $40 for a new key - a little expensive but not entirely unexpected and not too unreasonable. Then (sound of latex glove being snapped) they wanted to charge me $110 to program it - "MOOON RIVER!"

$150 - for a key! Not a key which opens a vault or even a safety deposit box, but a car key! That is completely ludicrous! I was so outraged, I contemplated having all the locks and ignition re-keyed thru a 3rd party out of spite (I know it would cost more than $150, but it's a matter of principle).

Starting next week...

I will be attending an improv class.

Now this is funny!

Just in time for closing weekend! But that's nothing new regarding Sacramento Community Theater. It's a very fair and honest review of the The Broccoli Club. All you locals should check it out. It is worth the time and as always it is good to support local theater.

Today's chuckle...

Thanks Kelli.

The latest Miss USA, Rachel Smith, recently revealed how much she really doesn’t know at a Women in Entertainment Empowerment Network event, reports the New York Daily News. Speaking about her future plans, the seemingly-superficial Miss Smith said, “I always wanted to be a reporter — maybe some TV. Who knows? Some serious news — but some modeling, too.”

Resolute Rachel, who also described how she danced around in a hot pink Rocawear sweatsuit and her crown the night she won Miss USA, didn’t pontificate on how she intended to mix journalism with modeling. But the News reports that she was able to emphatically state, “I just don’t want to end up like Katie Couric. I want people to take me seriously.”

No problem, honey. According to a Couric representative, “If (Rachel Smith) continues to offer such profound insight, she will not have to worry about anyone taking her seriously.”




After a little bit of research, I found out she was born in Panama - when I was stationed there! I feel my age today.

What is the potential for extensive future psychotherapy?

Mom gives birth to her own twin grandchildren
51-year-old Brazilian acted as surrogate for her daughter

Associated Press October 1, 2007
SAO PAULO, Brazil - A 51-year-old surrogate mother for her daughter has given birth to her own twin grandchildren in northeastern Brazil, the delivery hospital said.

Rosinete Palmeira Serrao, a government health worker, gave birth to twin boys by Caesarean section on Thursday at the Santa Joana Hospital in the city of Recife, the hospital said in a statement on its Web site.

Hospital officials were not available for comment on Sunday, but press reports said the grandmother and twins were discharged on Saturday in excellent health. The Caesarean section was performed about two weeks ahead of time because Serrao was having trouble sleeping, the statement said.

Serrao decided to serve as a surrogate mother after four years of failed attempts at pregnancy by her 27-year-old daughter, Claudia Michelle de Brito.

Brazilian law stipulates that only close relatives can serve as surrogate mothers. De Brito is an only child and none of her cousins volunteered, so Serrao agreed to receive four embryos from her daughter.
