howdy folks!(and a special howdy to chaos-daily!)
HIGH ANXIETY is that the correct spelling? MOMENTS for me
1. 8:00 PM the day before check day.
reason: will the gubbermint continue to send me a check? will the bank screw it up? will some infarious internet scammer empty my account the moment the deposit is posted?
2. when i arrive in a new town, will i find a shelter bed for the night, or will i sleep outside? or will i have to spend the night in a "rolling motel"?
a rolling motel is a city bus that runs continuously all night long. San Francisco has rolling motels.{fare=1.00)
3. When i am low on coffee(GASP!) will i have enough to last the month? cigarettes too qualify here!
4. when i ride amtrak, will the train derail? if it does, will i survive long enough to get paid? note: i have never been on a derailed train; they always seem to happen when i am not aboard!
~~~~~~~~~~~~LA DE DA~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dead Teenager Kept in Home 36 Years
HANOI (Reuters) - The family of a 17-year-old Vietnamese boy who died 36 years ago kept his body in their home after a fortune teller told relatives they had buried the teenager alive by mistake.
The boy's family thought he had died in 1968 of illness, but a herbal medicine man said told the father his son was still alive after the burial, the Ho Chi Minh City Police newspaper said on Tuesday.
Stricken with remorse, the father dug up the body and displayed it in a glass-covered coffin, keeping it in the family home in southern An Giang until he recently confessed the macabre secret to a police news reporter.
The newspaper ran a photo of the dead boy's brother posing with his arms folded next to the coffin of his sibling. The body of the boy had not decomposed, the report said.
Demands unmet, Swedish militants decapitate fiberglass cow
STOCKHOLM (AFP) - A shadowy group of militant Stockholmers carried out their threat to "execute" a fiberglass life-size cow after their demand that "Cow Parade", an outdoor art exhibit, be dismantled was not met, organizers said.
"We have received the cow cut into pieces in a bag. It's really sad. There's no way of repairing it," Cow Parade spokeswoman Helene Cederberg told AFP.
The Militant Graffiti Artists last week sent an email with a video clip attachment to Swedish daily Aftonbladet showing one of the exhibit's brightly colored cows flanked by two masked militants clad in black and brandishing electric drills as though they were machine guns.
In the video, the militants reportedly demanded that the Cow Parade "be declared non-art, otherwise hostages will be sacrificed".
"As members of Stockholm's Militant Graffiti Artists, we feel it is our moral duty to defend our city against the cows which have invaded our streets," a distorted voice said in the clip, according to Aftonbladet.
The paper on Tuesday published pictures from a new video film depicting how the masked militants decapitated the cow.
The group, which kidnapped the cow nearly three weeks ago, threatened to destroy the artwork unless the 100 or so other cows were removed from the city's streets by noon (1000 GMT) on August 23.
Earlier this month, when the touring exhibition was in Prague, a cow was stolen and feared dumped in the river.
Vandals also attacked dozens of the Cow Parade exhibition's 214 beasts dotted around central Prague, causing damage of around 1 million koruna (31,000 euros, 38,000 dollars), exhibition organisers said. sheesh! dont they have anything better to do in sweden?
heres a frisky idea to get rid of those unwanted telemarketers!
got an answering machine? well 1st, goto: http://www.bellsystemmemorial.com/recordedannouncements.html this site has the recordings you hear when you dial a number that has been disconnected, for example. then, at the site, find the niftiest recording ya want, and turn on your record on the answering machine and click on the wave file. then, when the pesky telemarketers (or bill collectors!) call, just let the recording take care of it! heheheheee!
remember, americans! VOTE this november for regime change! a VOTE for JOHN KERRY, is a VOTE for re-establishing our freedoms and constitution here in the good ole usa!
oh, and one more thing, the u.s. military court of appeals yesterday has declared that SODOMY is ILLEGAL and punishable by inprisonment! EVEN THOUGH the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that such inprisonment is un-constitutional.
so, if you are in the U.S. MILITARY, what you do in the privacy of your own bedroom can be used against you in a MILITARY court.
i hope these lil snippets have put a smile on ya face, and took ya away from ya troubles for a few minutes.
hava nice day and hug a family member! its coffe and cookie time! YAY! Coffee and cookies, the breakfast of champions!!
