Fri, 16 May 2008 03:48:41 GMT http://greasy.com/redimpala/catching_up.html I had some free time this afternoon, so I caught up on the lastest posts of most of my friends. Yesterday morning, I had to get up at 5:30 in order to be at the nursing home at 7:00 to go with Mother to the outpatient clinic at the hospital to have her cat scan done. Then I went to Kenna's office and worked til about 2. I have been helping her with some office work. I spend about twenty hours a week there. Provides a little extra cash for items I want but could live without--like food, clo ... Thu, 15 May 2008 22:38:51 GMT http://greasy.com/redimpala/best_3.html I have just been so busy of late. It is 9:42 p.m. and this is the first time that I have really sat down to relax. I have been up and down the rest of the time. My roses needed some serious attention, which they finally received this evening. In addition, I cut a limb off this huge cherry tree Saturday because it was growing into my crepe myrtle tree and killing it. That necessitated then cutting it up, so that the disposal people could handle picking it up. Yesterday I got all but the par ... Tue, 13 May 2008 03:01:53 GMT http://greasy.com/redimpala/killer_quakes_.html This spring is proving deadly around the world. With over 400 tornadoes already reported, with the devastating cyclone in Myanmar, and now with the catastrophic earthquake in China, hundreds of thousands are dead from Nature's wrath. Thousands of quakes rattle the Earth daily — but only a few cause utter devastation Introduction Thousands of earthquakes happen every day around the world. Most are hardly felt, if at all. But sometimes pieces of Earth's crust suddenly slip past each other ...

Why are florists working overtime every Mother's Day? Why do people always thank their mother when they receive an award? Because behind any successful and happy person, chances are good that you'll find a great mom! Enjoy these quotes on the joys of motherhood and the inspiration that moms give their kids. A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the wo ... Sun, 11 May 2008 08:48:12 GMT http://greasy.com/redimpala/sound_fury.html Since it is Tornado season, I thought it appropriate to show this footage of the most unbelievable devastation I have ever seen. This is footage of the F5 tornado that David Payne, a meterologist and a stormtracker were filming and streaming back to the station the night of May 3, 1999, when the F5 tornado hit Oklahoma City. This is the only tornado that ever made me want to find a hole into which to hide. In the end, SIL, Baby Granddaughter #1(who was two at the time) and I drove to Norma ... Sun, 11 May 2008 02:56:05 GMT http://greasy.com/redimpala/crisis.html THOUGHTS TO GET YOU THROUGH ANY CRISIS Indecision is the key to flexibility. There is always one more son-of-a-b---- than you counted on. There is absolutely NO substitute for a genuine lack of preparation. Happiness is merely the remission of pain. Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be. Sometimes too much to drink is not enough. The facts, although they may be interesting, are irrelevant. The careful application of terror is also a form of communication. Someone who thinks logically provid ... Sat, 10 May 2008 17:13:09 GMT http://greasy.com/redimpala/remember_mama.html This will be the saddest of Mother's Days for me. Though my mother has been the thorn in my side all my life, she is still my mother, and I love her. ( The tragedy is that I really don't think Mother ever realized what she was doing to me with her constant criticism and fault-finding.) Last Mother's Day, we had her over for dinner; presented her with a new outfit; and enjoyed the day with her. That will not be the case this year. As I feared when I begged her not to have another surgery, M ... Fri, 9 May 2008 15:56:02 GMT http://greasy.com/redimpala/going_dishes.html Joe wanted to buy a motorbike. He doesn't have much luck until one day he comes across a Harley with a "For Sale" sign on it. The bike seems even better than a new one, although it is 10 years old. It is shiny and in absolute mint condition. He immediately buys it, and asks the seller how he kept it in such great condition for 10 years. "Well, its quite simple, really," says the Seller, "Whenever the bike is outside and its going to rain, rub Vaseline on the chrome. It protects it from the ... Fri, 9 May 2008 01:58:43 GMT http://greasy.com/redimpala/husbands_compliments.html A man was just coming out of anesthesia after a series of tests in the hospital, and his wife was sitting at his bedside. His eyes fluttered open, and he murmured, "Youre beautiful." Flattered, the wife continued her vigil while he drifted back to sleep. Later, her husband woke up and said, "Youre cute." Startled, she asked him, "What happened to beautiful?" "The drugs are wearing off," he replied.

Nargis embodied the ‘perfect storm' Wall of Water Rose Twelve Feet killing 60,000 BANGKOK, Thailand - It was Asia's answer to Hurricane Katrina. Packing winds upwards of 120 mph, Cyclone Nargis became one of Asia's deadliest storms by hitting land at one of the lowest points in Myanmar and setting off a storm surge that reached 25 miles inland. The injured march in protest of Myanmar's ruling junta reluctance to allow internat ... Fri, 9 May 2008 01:33:37 GMT http://greasy.com/redimpala/deadliest_storms_history.html With the catastrophic cyclone that continues to devastate Myanmar(formerly Burma), perhaps some may be wondering what the difference in a hurricane, typhoon, cyclone, and tornado may be(By the way, as I am writing this, a tornado is moving through Oklahoma City about 70 blocks north of me. Actually, what is being described as a "cyclone" in Myanmar is one type of cyclone--a "tropical cyclone" that can cause huge devastation when it comes inland. Different areas of the world identify these ... Wed, 7 May 2008 22:47:25 GMT http://greasy.com/redimpala/choices_.html I only have a minute this morning...but here's a little food for thought.

You may or may not have heard of Miley Cyrus, Hannah Montana's real alter ego, before this past week; but chances are you could not have missed the furor surrounding her of recent. For those whose head has been into really important news events, Miley Cyrus is the precocious daughter of country star Billy ... Tue, 6 May 2008 00:19:46 GMT http://greasy.com/redimpala/world_limits.html Hillary Clinton stated some time back that "it takes a village to rear a child!" Problem is, friends, the village has long since disappeared. In it's place we have sprawling metropoli, filled with inner city teens of varied ethnic and social backgrounds. They are organized into well-defined gangs, who spend their evenings robbing, fighting over territory, doing drugs, engaging in sex, and for fun firing from their cars at innocent bystanders. Meanwhile, those who could have fled to suburbs ...

Here's your chance to weigh in on whether you agree or disagree. Though they may be listed among the greatest films of all time, these 10 movies deserve to be downgraded.

Mon, 5 May 2008 03:44:20 GMT http://greasy.com/redimpala/hell_the_conclusion.html Rabbit Hash, Ky. Lore has it that when the Ohio River flooded the Northern Kentucky hamlet of Carlton, rabbits scampered to higher ground for safety, straight in to the arms of hungry farmers ready to stew up some hash (rabbit hash, that is). In the 1840s, when the Carlton voting district needed a new name to avoid confusion with Carrolton, further downriver, Rabbit Hash “was a no-brainer,” in the words of area historian Don Clare. Rabbit Hash has no fixed boundaries or municipal gover ...

(AP) - With two runners on base and a strike against her, Sara Tucholsky of Western Oregon University uncorked her best swing and did something she had never done, in high school or college. Her first home run cleared the center-field fence. But it appeared to be the shortest of dreams come true when she missed first base, started back to tag it and collapsed with a knee injury. She crawled back to first but could do no ...

But they say there’s no funny business going on. Really. They mean it. They have set up their beds side-by-side like Lucy and Ricky in “I Love Lucy,” and avert their eyes when one of them is changing clothes. “People are shocked to hear that it’s happening and even that it’s possible,” said Youngdahl, a 20-year-old sophomore. But “once you actually live in it, it doesn’t actually ... Sat, 3 May 2008 23:21:29 GMT
