Arkansas Blog

The win couldnt have happened to a nicer woman. Wouldnt it be nice if the AT Blog also made a donation to the pulaski county humane society in memory of the dog Zelda lost last year? I think she lives in pulaski county; if not, then obviously the shelter/humane society in the county where she lives should be the lucky recipient.

Zelda: WOW!

Who/whom and the electoral college vote prize all in the same day!!!

Double congrats!

Congrats

Max,

My mailing address is

PO box BR549
Little Rock,AR

But make the check out to my favorite charity, "Citizen Home"

Thank you,

Signed Zelda.

Congratulations!

Yippee...I'm rich, I'm rich...well, the animals are richer. Donate it to your favorite animal rescue group. If they rescue animals, I love em.

Thanks tina, I appreciate the kind words but the location isn't as important as the help. My beloved Lucky is still my screen saver (computer/cell phone)...and my hubby is under strict orders NOT to touch em. (He seems to have some kind of compulsion to...never mind.) So she's still in my heart.

Nice try, citizen, you have much in common with my hubby...sneak wise!

I'm relishing my recent who/whom triumph, sky; and I'm 'actively' refraining from rewriting sentences (the easy way) because I'm actually BEGINNING to understand. Glad you're willing to take on the razzing over our who/whom fest!

ARK. BLOG: OK Zelda, I'm going to give it to the group that rescued Sluggo, the crippled bulldog. But as soon as the lottery starts, I'm buying a $1 ticket for you. And if it hits, you get the money.

The $50 goes to Pet Angels in Jacksonville.

Hey, Zelda. Remember that 50 bucks you borrowed from me? Don't worry about paying me back. Just consider that your Festivus present for this year.

Actually, a big congrats on playing those numbers. I'm gonna get you to choose my lottery ticket numbers, ok?

Sure, Odamae...better yet, just send me the money and I'll invest it in some lottery tickets...or something along those lines!

should be "grateful" not "greatful". i guess your lazy eye missed that one.

"should be "grateful" not "greatful". i guess your lazy eye missed that one."

What a dick.

Zelda: I've never resented the razzing of friends that's offered in the spirit of good clean fun. I view razzing of this type as a kind of left-handed "warm fuzzy" as opposed to the "cold prickly" razzing that's designed to ridicule and injure. And generally a reflection of acceptance.

I remember long ago and far away when I had driven to an adjoining state to visit my girl friend (later my fiance, eventually my wife) on her campus. When we encountered one of her friends in the cafeteria at supper, she asked, "When are you leaving [skypilot]?"

Her intention was to ask how long I'd be able to visit, but it didn't come out that way. After that, all of her friends who were in on the joke would greet me upon first meeting on campus during subsequent visits with, "When are you leaving [skypilot]?"

It made me feel as if I was accepted by her group, as others would never be so ungracious as to ask such a question with serious intent--at least to a friend.

And interestingly, to some extent it has been incorporated into our family lore, as we sometimes use the phrase when one of our children comes to visit or under other circumstances when the more appropriate phrasing would be, "How long will you be here?" It makes us party to an inside joke. And that means those who are in on it are part of the "in" group.

So, a little razzing over who/whom, etc., contributes to my feeling of acceptance by the group.

Max,
While you have created a resource rich website why not do something with your mid-page
video section that will help sheltered animals and put some bucks in Allan's pockets too.

Feature video of a pet(s) that needs a home. I bet you could find local sponsors for the video too.

Well, well, Mz Z. You did good, girl! I didn't even try but glad to see a sista win it!!

Yup, jazzy, I won $50 predicting Hillary's numbers in Arkansas. I'm on a roll...until nap time. Mostly I'm a flaming optimist who bets high...especially when I don't have to risk any money ha!.

Thank you, sista CiCi! Who knew blogs could be profitable haha.

Congrats zelda!!!! You can put these on your resume for your next gig on www.538.com

Jazzy: Feel free to ignore this -- you warned me not to trouble your head with it. So this is just for fun:

Ain't no real diffurnce between "anyhow" and "anyway" so you can ignore thoase an say whutever y'ant.

"is" "are" is simple unless some extra words get mixed in somewhere.

The 'rithmetic people made a rule: 1 is singular. Everthang else is plural--from 2 up to as many zeroes as you can add. Ain't that interstin?

The grumatical rule is that "person" and "number" has to agree. So if thar's only one, it's "is." If thar's more than one, it's "are."

But the British complicate this sort of thing because they don't always use "collective nouns."

We treat such thangs as choirs and bands and football teams and political parties as collective nouns, so use the singular: "The choir is singing," "the band is playing," "the football team is traveling," "the Democratic Party is meeting."

But the British tend to see those as groups of individuals, so they're inclined to say, "The choir are singing," "the band are playing," "the football team are traveling," "the Democratic Party are rejoicing."

But we don't pay much mind to what them English people do. They lost the war!

[As you can imagine, I didn't have much to do this evening.]

[Not proof red.]

Sky, everything is *just for fun* to me..........I find it where I can get it.

Cried enough tears, had enough pain, fought too much depression....don't want to end

life as I started it, crying like a baby being smacked on the bottom.

As I told you before, my life was music, so as I sat in english, ancient history, et al, classes
all I could hear was musical notes going round 'n round in my brain.

Then I moved to south Louisiana and by golly the cajuns say everything backasswards....
*How many fish ya caught Tee-Boy?*
*Aw 'bout three two one.*

Jazzy: One of my favorite hunting stories:

Hey, Thibodeaux, you been huntin', yeah?

Sho, Boudreau, I tooks my two-hole soots gun and go out to de marsh.

How wuz they flyin', Thibodeaux?

Oh, 'bout like usual; you know, two by himself and one in a drove.

Well, did you get any.

Not much. A few flew over an I raise up my shoots gun and, "bang, bang"; I bring down two duck with one shot.

P.S., I forgot to mention, we live down dere around Mayapatoot for awhile.

You know, down in de middle of dat triangle made of Carencro, Breaux Bridge, an Mamou

Congratulations, Zelda. Great prognostication.

Congratulations, Zelda! Obama by a landslide, even bigger than I thought.
And it's great that you donated your winnings to a worthy cause.

Sky, lived in Luling, St. Charles Parish from 1957 till 1983. Moved there with 2 babies and

gave birth to 2 more. Learned about mosquitoes, love bug season, catipiller (sp) season,

nutria, flying roaches, lizards, snakes, hurricanes, exotic disease, I lived thru Dungey from

a mosquito bite..........hated it for years before I learned to love it.

Better shut up and go to bed before you start correcting my spelling............lol

Jazzy: Where we lived, the cockroaches were the only thing that kept the mosquitoes down.

And the armadillos were the only thing that kept the cockroaches down.

And the alligators were the onlly thing that kept the armadillos down.

And there wasn't ANYTHING to keep the alligators down!

Congrats, zelda, and I thought surely you would want me to take it to Oaklawn for you and double it!
