Well, we all could if we chose to move to a place such as Malibu or Paris, but we are living in Wisconsin right now.  We might choose to vacation in once of those places, though.  We've fowarded telephone calls before.  Why not mail? 

I suppose there are are some people that want people to believe they've already got "it" even when they don't.  So they might want to hand out cards with their well-to-do address on them; and then pray no one drops in on them unexpectedly.

"Earth Class Mail wants to manage your mail for you. Just have it sent to one of the addresses the Seattle company provides, and it will put electronic scans of the mail you receive online. Then you log on and see what mail you've gotten, and you can ask them to open it or send it to you (or shred it, as the case may be).

Today, Earth Class Mail opens a store in West Hollywood. That means all you jet-setters and jet-setter wannabes can have your mail sent to 8605 Santa Monica Blvd., and Earth Class Mail will do its job. Non-jet-setters and people who want to avoid the post office can also use the store to send and shred mail."

Being a librarian isn't the most exciting job around, but librarians can be pretty intelligent.  Some end up becoming school teachers, and who know, they could become the First Lady of the United States, like Laura Bush. 

Some of them may even know a few things about saving money, like this librarian....

"A retired Virginia school teacher and librarian who died two years ago left more than $2 million to split between the universities she attended, the schools announced Tuesday.

Jane Iris Crutchfield's estate will donate $1.1 million each to the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia."

Sometimes I drive out towards 27th Street and go past a home that has a lawn that gets mowed by a teenager.  There have been times I wished I had my camera with me because I swear I would stop and take the guy's picture and put it up here for you to see.  He actually mows the lawn with his pants down below his rear end...his entire butt hanging out, with boxers showing.  I can't understand how he is doing it.  Pushing the lawn mower up and down the slight hill when he can barely walk.  I wonder if it is his way of getting back at his parents for making him mow the lawn...saying "I'll show you, if you're going to make me mow the lawn, I'm going to do it looking like this"...and he literally makes an ass of himself (in my opinion anyway).

Well, this fashion trend...pants hanging below the butt...I don't understand it, but I'm not meant to understand everything.

Many cities across the country are passing ordinances against wearing pants that way...and I'm not sure how they are getting those laws passed, but they are.  New York, Flint, and Chicago are among them.

Flint Police Chief David Dicks pats down a man who was stopped
Monday in Flint for his sagging pants.

The man was warned and released.
Dicks said his officers would start arresting people wearing saggy pants that
expose skivvies, boxer shorts or bare bottoms 

It's The Law:  No sagging pants in Chicago



Are your Jeans Sagging?  Go Directly To Jail

I don't know how many times I have driven through road construction sites and have seen husky, burly men working on the roads with women right alongside them, and "Men At Work"  signs next to the road and have never thought anything of it.

As a woman, the actual sign is the last thing I could care less about. 

The important thing is that I give both the men and the women credit for doing the hot, and dangerous work out on the roads.

But here we go, we have to have Atlanta-based PINK magazine editor, Cynthia Good make a PINK stink over the fact that the signs only say "MEN" at work.

Who the hell cares?

She allegedly goes out and paints a "WO" in front of the MEN.

Now in Atlanta the signs are being replaced with "Workers Ahead."

"We're calling on the rest of the nation to follow suit and make a statement that we will not accept these subtle forms of discrimination," said Good, 48.

Don't we have better things to do with our tax money ? 

Like repair our roads?

Ellen Carrington           Miss Tennessee.org

A Jackson native and senior at Union University, Carrington decided to get the permit because she was spending a lot of time traveling to and from Nashville at night. She said spending time at shooting ranges with her father, Pat, helped create an even deeper bond between the two.

Ellen’s platform is volunteerism and being a positive role model.  Perhaps she would be a good influence for promoting concealed carry on college campuses.  That’s something to think about.
