IN THE NEWS


It seems that EXXON OIL company
just reported their last 'quarter' (Three Months) "NET" profits.
A WHOPPING 10.9 BILLION!!!
TallPockets For Prez '08 by TallPockets For Prez 2008


We live in an age of victimization.
Everyone,regardless of the circumstances,
seems to want to be a victim.
Murderers ask for leniency
because
they were emotionally and physically abused
as children.

it is an evil and complex world
Mad Yankee Ranting by BigChris

 What about our ordinary people out there making a difference?
You know them, and I know them.
Now they are news-worthy.
They are the heroes of the land!
 Against A Crooked Sky by summerrayne


Central Washington University softball team
stunned spectators by carrying Tucholsky around the bases
Saturday so the three-run homer would count -
an act that contributed to their own elimination from the playoffs.

POLITICS



Raindrops Make Things Beautiful by Sherry'sCherries


Why is it that I keep rolling off these pearls of wisdom
and the news anchors and politicians do not listen to me?
Well, at least one of the talking heads did.
There was a quote on the Sunday morning show
"Rev. Wright is for Rev. Wright." ...
He is an actor, for God's sake!
Well, not for God's sake, for his own sake.
He gives a self serving sermon and gets applause and money.
We have met the enemy and he is us by sinann



pardon me if I'm wrong...
but didn't that type of thinking get us into all this mess

in the first place?
As eloquent and entertaining as he is,
Jeremiah Wright still, STILL...
feeds some antiquated craw to point out and revel in
differences in human beings...
instead of
celebrating unity.
The Dog House by Biggie T



Raindrops Make Things Beautiful by Sherry'sCherries


Hillary: "I cannot tell a lie"
Obama: "I don't like that darn preacher anymore"
Wright: "I'll fix that little politician"
McCain: "Vote for me, hey ya'll, Vote for Me"
Hillary: "I'll support McCain if that Obama wins"
Obama: "I don't like that darn Hillary"
Wright: "I know, I'll write a book"
McCain: "Why do I feel like a POW again"
Hillary: "I swear they were sniping me"
Obama: "That darn book is gonna hurt me come November"
Wright: "That book is gonna get him back for quitting my church"
McCain: "Vote for me, hey ya'll Vote for Me"
The end
And The Show Must Go On.......... by Oscar



PEACE
Freedom and democracy are not served by killing and torture.
We need to step away from our violent ways
and
embrace compassion and compromise.

Junebug's Living Large by Junebug



Love is like an ocean
Maps, sextant and compass
Driven by a strong sense of detail
Hopes and dreams on a magical scale.

When we don't see the larger plan,
no matter how insane the plan,
behavior by those around us loses context.
Without context,
actions and speech becomes nonsense.

The Inner Sanctum... by PolarB



Brad and I visited my in-laws in San Diego.
It was a short visit because they complain about us interfering
with their routine;
yet when I told them the dates we'd be staying,
they complained because we were staying such a short time.
I think you call that a no win situation.

TENDING OUR GARDENS




Same time next year by Madie


The teenage granddaughter comes downstairs for her date
with this see-through blouse on and no bra.
Her grandmother just has a fit,
telling her not to dare go out like that.
The teenager tells her "Loosen up Grams.
These are modern times.
You gotta let your rosebuds show!" and out she goes.
The next day the teenager comes downstairs,
and the grandmother is sitting there with no top on.
The teenager wants to die.
She explains to her grandmother that she has friends coming over
and that it is just not appropriate.
"Loosen up, sweetie. If you can show off your rosebuds,
then I can display my hanging baskets."

With the price of everything going up,
the fact that we females suffer from bloating and
the pressure of being female,
it's to be expected that we got off topic a little.
Actually we got off topic a lot.

Perhaps your company is actually in the business
of cloning dinosaurs that were loose one weekend

they would have to be very small dinosaurs.

WAYS TO HANDLE STRESS

Jam 39 tiny marshmallows up your nose
and try to sneeze them out.

Pop some popcorn without putting the lid on.

When someone says, "Have a nice day,"
say you have other plans.
5.
Make a list of things to do
that you've already done.
6.
Dance naked in front of your pets.

Retaliate for tax woes by filling out your tax forms

SO LONG - FAREWELL - AUF WEIDERSEHEN - ADIEU
(This Week's Parting Thoughts)



Every week, I link to 65-70 bloggers on OVERHEARD.
If you want to be included but we haven't met,
don't wait for me to find you,
INTRODUCE YOURSELF !!!

If you want to add to this week's OVERHEARD,

let me know!

If you have a birthday or anniversary,

let me know! 

I do OVERHEARD every week

because I hope ...
I hope that introducing you to other bloggers
will reinforce a sense of community
and your feeling of belonging,
no matter who you are!

Lately, I have heard a lot of fretting about all the negativity
on the Stream.
I didn't come here to be negative.
I bet most of you didn't either.

If we were all inner tubing down a real Stream,
what would you bring with you
on a perfectly sunny day?

That's what I'm talking about!!!

Bring it!

Bring your laughter.  Bring your smiles.

Bring your life experiences.
Bring your wisdom.
Heck yeah!  I wanna see your pictures!

Of course, you can bring your famous potato salad.
They'll go perfect with the burgers!
You wanna paint what on your inner tube?!!

Okay!  Go ahead,
but don't blame me if people look at you funny!

Come as you are!

Be who you be!

This is supposed to be a place where we enjoy
a meeting of the minds,
a friendly debate once in a while,
even jokes and humor ...
Remember your sense of humor?

I don't know where you left it ...
Look under your socks.
What about next to your car keys?

Bring it!
