Have you ever watched an awards show and wondered why no two dresses are the same? Me either, but that didn't stop me from doing a small bit of research on the subject. In seems in fashion circles, that it is an unspoken rule that no two starlets should ever wear the same outfit. In fact, for those that are in the upper echelons of the A-list, the designer dresses are brought to them just a few hours before the big event where a decision is made on what the celebrity will wear thus ensuring that no one else will be wearing the same dress. In the grand scheme of things should it really matter if two celebrities wear the same dress? I mean, is the world going to stop rotating because Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lopez wore the same outfit to the Grammys thus causing the entire world's population to fall off? Let's hope not! Until recently, this situation had never occurred in my life. First, although I know it's hard to believe, I'm not an A-list celebrity ...

As with almost anything you buy these days, affixed somewhere on the product is a sticker that says Made in China. That got me to wondering as I sometimes like to do and I came up with this question: Are the Made in China stickers made in China? Since I don't know anyone in China to ask I did the next best thing: I Googled the question. It seems that there is a fan page on Facebook devoted to this exact question and over 14,000 people have liked it. But, it didn't give me the answer. Next, down the list on the Google search page was a company called ULINE from Pleasant Prairie, WI, and they do make the Made in China stickers. What about that? The product may be made in China, but the part that holds everything together (the sticker) is made right here in the good old USA. And they say Americans don't make anything anymore...

With the Presidential election just around the corner, political conversations are becoming a hot dinnertime topic. The following conversation took place recently when Brother, Mom and I sat down to dinner. I won't tell you who belongs to each party, I'll let the conversation speak for itself. Ind: "Ha! I was busting your buddies' chops the other day about Romney's speech at the RNC. They were like all happy and thrilled to have such a strong candidate." Reb: "They're right. Romney and Ryan are gonna put this country back on track for us freedom-loving Americans and repeal Obamacare." Dem: "I would have thought, heaven forbid, that you of all people would want to keep it. You got about every preexisting condition there is and even some that haven't been invented yet." Ind: "That's true." Reb: "Well, somebody needs to stand up and make these people start paying for some of these government programs. It's going ...

..."Mom?" "What did you say," Granny asked with a questioning look. "Did Diddy (my dad) ever tell you about the world's longest fart?" Without even hearing a word of the story, granny's shoulders started to shake, a grin spread across her face, and looking toward my dad, "No, I don't think he did." "A few weeks ago, in through there, we had went over to John's and I had got my usual, the Rainbow trout. Lora, didn't you get the Ribeye? Well, the lady said they had a new cook and instead of having, in through there, the usual green bean almondine with the trout, in through there, they was trying to make things healthier and cooked broccoli with it. It was all right, in through there, and I also had some of the new chili. Lora, did you get some of the chili?" "Yes, I had the Ribeye and tried the soup too. I think that was the problem." "Right. It wasn't too long and I started to get the belly ache. Yo...
