LEGAL OR NOT ?

I am a LEGAL AMERICAN Citizen and I must show my ID

What do you think? any ideas? Any reason why

they shouldn't come in the front Door?

IT"S A HOT SUBJECT

This is a subject people are afraid to speak about.

I see some are afraid to speak their mind. It's OK

this is America, we have freedom of speech. Maybe

you can add some light on the subject. What can we

all do to help make it easy to be Legal?

It will help in the long run on our TAXES, and help the Census Bureau too. Everyone should pay their share of taxes. Illegal or Legal. It will help to know who is here, and keep out the Terrorist and diseases too.

I welcome anyone to America.

I just want them to come in Legal as my Grandparents did.

It is a privilege to come here.

I find it as rude as gate crashing

into my house.

I MUST SHOW MY ID WHEN:

#1 Pulled over by Police.

#2 Making a Purchase w/credit card.
# 3 At the Doctors.

# 4 For a loan application.
# 5 Renewing a drivers Licence
# 6 VOTING
# 7 For any kind of Insurance.
# 8 College Applications.
# 9 Writing a check.
# 10 Getting a prescription drug.

# 11 Boarding an Airline.

Why should Illegals in this country be EXEMPT????

And why would they be offended by showing it?

I am sure other countries guard their borders. SOOO what's the problem?

When they ask me for my ID , I'd never gave it a thought.

Because it was the normal thing to do.

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses,

yearning to breath free.

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,

Send these the homeless,tempest tossed.

I LIFT MY LAMP BESIDE THE GOLDEN DOOR.

It did say the DOOR didn't it??

Yes it's about Illegal Immigrants.
Both my Grandmother's both went through Ellis Island the Right way. The Doctors
checked them out and they were asked questions, OK they were accepted. LEGAL
The illegal must have something to hide, maybe they are bad people, thieves, or
Carry a disease. Why won't they do it Legal . They can bring in :::Horrors like
Bubonic Plague,
Smallpox,
Tuberculosis,
West Nile Encephalitis,
and many more infectious diseases.

Pillsbury-Knead a Lift?

If you didn't now it , Pillsbury was started in the 1800's at the Pillsbury mills. One of the Pillsbury families married a Eliz, Mc Loon fromRockland ,Maine. Her husband was a field and Supreme Court Justice in the 1800's. I read so much I got confused but the field was some how connected with Pillsbury. Be low are some of the Estates.


The Pillsbury Boy was created by Rudy Perz 1965 Now owned and


operated by GENERAL MILLS.


THERE IS A CUTE STORY ABOUT THE DOUGHBOY AT THE END.
Hope you ger a chuckle out of it.



This Estate was up for Auction, Anyone interested?

SOUTHWAY ESTATE

The orig Pillsbury Mansion at 11622 Street East sold in 1950 for 6 Million dollars


Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.

Dough boy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours.

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Dough boy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Born and bread in Minnesota . Dough boy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half- baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.

Dough boy is survived by his wife Play Dough, three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

If you are having a crumby day and knead a lift, hope it helped.

Put a lid on it

MY Mother Said MAYTAG was the best. Times have changed, American companies sell appliances to break
so they can sell sell sell. Maytag is now whirlpool and parts are not made here. The also have bought other companies. CHECK IT OUT BEFORE YOU BUY..











I have GAS ( LP )

I have not been a happy camper with Maytag
Five years ago I built the house with all MAYTAG appliances.
Within two years the Gas range was leaking gas. I had Home Depot replace it.
The Microwave broke that same year. I bought a new one. The dishwasher
stopped working last October. Now this February the new range (replacement) I had a fire in oven. The Oven was empty and had
been cleaned a week before.
I had broiled a steak the night before.
As of June 22 the oven started smelling so bad,
I had to but the Microwave fan on to get that gas smell out, before I baked the pie.




Scared the Hell out of me. I grabbed a box of salt , wet some kitchen towels and opened the oven door and tossed the salt and wet towels. Thank God it went out then sprayed the extinguisher. Now I find out to use baking soda. I had a lot of smoke damage. Their was nothing in the oven?? The appliance man said "do not use this oven.. it's Dangerous". so here I sit two weeks later waiting to find out what Maytag is going to do. They made a comment they would buy it back at a used price, (2 yrs old) . They also said that they didn't cover grease fires. I am not asking about that it's the Gas smell now. What to do What to do??

This is a common occurrence it seems,

I read that you should always have Baking soda handy, and an

extinguishers not near the stove but

easy to get to..

This is like my setup..looks like a maytag..

About the fire extinguisher Learn how to work it and check the date

on it to be sure it's still good..

SO PUT A LID ON IT AND BE REPAIRED BE SAFE
I CARE ABOUT MY BLOGGING BUDDIES

Passing of an old friend.Larry Hovis

Remembering my past years.. and friends.

When I was about 18, I met Larry Hovis
through my Cousin, they were dating.
Later I became friendly with him. Larry use to play
and sing at the Neiman Marcus Fashion shows
also appeared at Sak's Dept store fashion shows.
A few years later I knew him when he worked
at my Husbands Supper Club. Then he took
off to Hollywood and the next time we saw Larry
he was on Hogan's Hero's, what a surprise.
As so many of our friend's we lost contact.
We moved to Miami Beach, the late 60's.
I just heard he passed away.

At the same time in Houston, I knew Kenny Rogers.
Kenny Rogers looked us up in Miami Beach,
when he was doing a show.His wife Margo
stayed with us for a few weeks,
while he was in the Christie minstrels.

Houston-born Rogers formed his first band while in high school in 1956 and never quit making music from that point on. The rockabilly group, called The Scholars, got a record deal and released two singles that had local success, and led to a performance spot on American Bandstand. Soon afterward, Rogers joined the Bobby Doyle Trio, playing stand-up bass in the jazz band, at the Rib Eye supper club on Holcomb Blvd and Main Street. That was the club My Husband and I owned. The club was acress the street from the Shamrock Hilton. While Kenny was working at our club Kirby Stone ( Kirby stone 4) took him away from us and he went to Vegas. We went there to see him and I met Kirby's wife. She was sooo hollywood. In 1966 he became a member of the New Christy Minstrels, He was married to Margo my girlfriend then.

He left them leaving a year later to form The First Edition with other members of the troupe. Then he hit it big and disappeared of the face of my world. So it goes.. Arnett Cobb played in the Jazz group in our club, He was an awesome tenor Sax. He was very sick in the sixty's and we went to see him. He had TB. Died a year later. We met Lionel Hampton through Arnett.

Age is awful, I wouldn't even know him ,if I passed him on the street, nor he know me.

Have you Hugged your Dog Today? July 7th

Happy Birthday to my sweet little ole man. Thor the love of my life.

My best Friend and 14 years companion.



I have had a wonderful Dalmation for 14 years now.

His wish is my command.

He has a natural eye liner around the baby blue eye's.
We were going to call him Sinatra,
changed it to Thor (God of thunder and Lighting,)
He loves horses, runs along with them.
He takes up 3/4 of my bed.
Starts talking to me at 6 AM to go outside.
Barks till I feed him and remembers every
scoop I put in. God forbid I forget one.
I say go poop and he does.
I say drink your water he drinks.
Get into the shower
Thor is sitting in the shower.
I have had dogs I loved over the years.
Growing up a Beagle called Nippy,
we had him 15 years. A pekingese called
Fugi. A Cocker Spaniel called Gucci. He was Dog Napped.

But in old age, Thor is my life.
After my Husband died, he lost 20 pounds
and the vet was worried.
When I had cancer he waited all day from 6- 7pm,
never urinated in the house.
He would drink 2 bowls of water
when I came in and sit on my feet.

Never thought I could love a dog so much.
He fills up my life and the house.
The Vet said,
"Look Yvonne, he is getting very old
please keep that in mind."

So I shower him with kisses and let him on the bed.
I say a prayer to God not to ever let him suffer.





HAVE YOU HUGGED YOUR DOG TODAY??
