Oiy Vey Of The Day
Did anyone else see this full moon? It was the best one I've seen in ages.
Oiy Vey Of The Week
I'm thrilled that the construction crew next door put a port-o-potty (why such a screaming shade of blue by the way?) behind a tarp in the front yard one foot off the street. Too bad they used a SEE THRU tarp. Are you kidding me?

Quoting from “Town and Country”: Injectables are like decorating. You start with a little botox, then you notice your cheeks are sagging, so you fill there. then the jowls are hanging. You end up doing the whole living room.
The latest big hair product to hit the scene is Moroccon Oil. It cost $40.00 for 3 ounces. Everyone is raving about it, people are slathering it all over their hair and face but please… READ INGREDIENTS BEFORE USING ANYTHING THESE DAYS. There is “coumarin” listed in the ingredients and coumarin is RAT POISON and deadly to all vital organs. Skin is an organ. DO NOT USE THIS!!
This is true: There is a facial at the Geisha Spa in NY that uses the poo from a bird called “The Nightingale” in it. People are paying over a $100.00 to have bird poo rubbed into their faces. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Have we heard anything at all about the effect of the volcanic ash on the European livestock? Cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and even chickens roam around outdoors all day, some never come indoors but live in the fields and pastures. Surely breathing all that contaminated air can’t be good for them………and eventually, the consumer!!
Feel sorry for the poor asthmatic people in Europe who have to breath the volcanic ash in the air. I hear cars are just filthy. Oiyvey
Can we please get rid of the phrase “pre-existing condition” since it’s an oxymoron? You either have a condition that you need health care for for or you don’t. A condition can’t “pre-exist” since once it’s a condition, it exists. This is what’s wrong with this entire health care bill. Too many stupid phrases that make no sense to anyone except the people that wrote it who need to use inane phrases to make themselves appear smarter than they are or ever will be. God, I hate self-importance like this. Just say it or don’t say it but stop all this half-assed mumbo-jumbo.
AMEN to that one. Parents are too afraid of not being a buddy. Its maddening to watch.
Here is a health one for ya. Why are so many parents worried about their son/daughter being stressed and having anxiety. Your children are fine, it’s called being 13 years old and awkward. There are a few situations where the parents promise that the anxiety is so bad that their children can’t go to school, because there is just too much stimulation. We wonder where our future is going when this is allowed by schools and parents. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy, tell the kid that they are sick and have issues enoughn and one day that kid will believe it and start fitting the role that mom and dad have made for them.
And this is the same man who, before we pack up to fly back to Chicago, turns the water heater off, shuts all the shades, locks all the windows TWO DAYS BEFORE WE LEAVE!! WHY?
Or my husband who sleeps through the alarm system going off and it’s so loud, the cats jump about 10 feet in the air. He “claims” he can’t hear it and yet, if I get up to get a piece of toast at 2:00 in the morning, he hears me.
How about a Mother that walks around with the BOSE ear phones that are as big as her carry on bag! She claims they are noise blockers..No sh*T……
I don’t think all women over 50 think headphones cause cancer. Who uses headphones anyway anymore? They are from the 80′s.
Why do all women over 50 think headphones cause brain cancer?
A friend of mine just commented on me wearing my Lance Armstrong “Livestrong” cancer bracelet, he said he didn’t know they were still popular. He is clearly someone that hasn’t been touched by cancer. I’d like to think people wear them because someone in their lives or themselves have been touched by the dreaded disease, not because the braclets are “popular” or a fashion statement.
Why do people think that, just because they’re already at a doctor’s office, its okay to hack, gag and cough with their bodily fluids spraying everywhere? Whatever happened to using a tissue when you sneeze or cough?
I sometimes think, while getting a mammogram, that if I faint during the exam, I will literally be hanging by a breast.
It annoys me when people have their headphones or earbuds on but still have the volume turned up so high I can hear the music anyway. Isn’t the idea of headphones supposed to be courtesy to those around you? Grrrrrrrrr
