    I guess when your Dad is an engineer for Kraft (He came up with the Squeeze Parkay top along with the plastic oil can and the plastic grocery bag among other things.) you have access to alot of Miracle Whip, Velveeta and Kraft singles.

    And yeah, my fil really did come up with and develop THE first plastic grocery bag. Now that this is public, may I still remain a menber of the blab?

    creepily enough, "hamdog" is even scarier sounding than i had imagined.

    Found out my next-door neighbors*, who have only spoken to us once** since we moved here, were great friends of the former residents of our house and held a prayer circle when the house went up for sale imploring God to replace their neighbors with good conservative, God-fearing patriots to the Second amendment. They got me and a French agnostic whose politics lean to the left of Dennis Kucinich. If there is a God, let me be the first to congratulate Him for His great sense of humor.

    *father drives his 25-foot RV to Tea Party rallies and on hunting trips; is teaching his 4 yr old daughter how to shoot birds; displays animal trophies around his house (according to another neighbor) including a falcon he illegally shot down in defiance of the "government ban."

    **spoke to us the other day to complain about the 11 yr old bringing Hispanic friends to play basketball in our neighborhood court; said if he left his garage door opened and anything went missing, he'd know why.

    The obvious next move: invite 'em over for dinner.

    Very good sense of humor God has.

    Too bad you have such uptight neighbors.

    Hildy,
    If and when you're ready to make a point or two to your neighbors might I suggest inviting over the blab for an evening of frivolities? Just guessing they'll either move or write you off as a lost cause.

    You really can't help someone who is hell bent on destroying their own life.
    Destruction of a civilized nation - there's an app for that.

    I can tell you from experience this is absolutely true.
