Elvis’ fans are already passing out from the heat in the long lines at Graceland in Memphis, TN. The King has been departed for 30 yrs! When he died, his finances were in sad shape but thanks to his ex-wife, Prisicilla, he’s doing great…thank ya very much! Last year, Graceland took in $27 million smackers! And the Elvis businesses brings in more than $40 million a year! But who’s counting, right? However, it is a shame that he is not around to spend some of it.

Not bad for a poor boy with a dream! And he didn’t have American Idol to help him–he did it all on his lonesome!

UPDATE: There are estimates of 70-75,000 people standing in line at Graceland with candles, flowers and gifts to put on Elvis’ grave. Gotta luv it! un-huh Elvis still rules!
Daughter Lisa said she choked up while doing a duo to In The Ghetto with Dad. (I hope he’s forgiven her for marrying MJ! yuk)

Guess what’s showing at the Alabama Theatre this week-end? The best movie ever made—Gone With The Wind! If you haven’t seen it on a large screen, you haven’t really seen it! I thought I was going with my cousin, but my eye surgery got scheduled for Fri, so I don’t know if I’ll feel like going! Frankly, my dear…I do give a damn! This is a yearly showing so it’ll be a long wait for the next one!

If you go to their home page you can do a virtual tour!

There’s even an organ for before the movie!

I had some pictures saved for this but when the laptop took a nap, they were gone! I might look around and see what I can find. Hold that thought!

DO YOU SMOKE?: On the job - no! On my breaks - yes!

WHAT WOULD YOU LI K E TO BE DOING IN FIVE YEARS?: Living in the Bahamas with a fabulously wealthy dumb sexy blonde supermodel who thinks I’m the greatest thing since sliced bread. Actually, I’d like to be doing that now.

For a second time since May, a man has been stopped in Cairo’s airport with carry-on bags loaded with live snakes and baby crocs! The Saudi man said he didn’t know it was against the law to take snakes out of the country–how about on a plane with other people?! Wouldn’t you love to be sitting there and have a snake drop in your lap?!

They were given to the local zoo and the man went on his way. I hope they checked his pockets!

Is it just me or is this hilarious?! I love this!

Know what happens this time next week? The dreaded eye surgery! I’m alittle nervous about being put to sleep and having my eye vacuumed but I’m also tired of having my vision impaired! I’m hoping it will go well, no scars or pain and vision will be restored. That’s what I’m HOPING for! Next Friday around 1. (gulp!)

Did you see the video of people going thru drive-up windows, ordering something to drink and throwing it on the person in the window? They would then put the video on YouTube. YouTube has taken the videos down and the police are looking for the people responsible for the filming. Not so funny now, I bet!

Did you see the guard unit from Minn that has finally made it home after almost 2 yrs in Iraq?! God bless them and their families!

I think the end is near for my kitty (see Little Big Man). Everytime I think it’s time to take him to the vet, he rallies alittle bit. I am so conflicted! I hate the thought of putting him down but I don’t want him to suffer.

Did you hear about the priest who went jogging sans clothing ’cause he thought it would be better than sweating profusely? The police thought differently!

A couple of weeks ago when I thought I was going to have something done to my eye and not just another (my 3rd) exam, I went out that morning to have my hair cut shorter so as not to have to fool with it too much. My hair has been in a blunt cut for several years–sometimes longer until I get it trimmed. I like it that way since it’s fairly easy to take care of. Anyway, I told the girl with the pink highlights and scissors that I wanted a blunt cut when I sat down in the chair. She shampooed my hair and got busy with the scissors. Most of the time, she had me looking down, so I didn’t see what she was doing until it was dry and styled. I did hear the other girl ask her if she was going to stack my hair and she said yes. First mistake in not speaking up! Stacking did not sound like “blunt”! I did look up one time and thought –that sure looks like she cutting my hair in layers! And guess what–she was!

It did look cute when she got through, but my arms are not long enough to yield a big brush with the hair dryer like she did. The first time I washed it, I was thinking,,now what? So, instead of spending less time with my hair, I’ll be spending MORE time on it and it won’t be all one length for quite some time!

I think I’m just irritated that she didn’t do what I said I wanted! She said she liked for the sides to go back–I don’t. It’s my hair and I paid for the haircut–and tip! So I think I should’ve gotten what I asked for.

I guess I could always shave my head and start from scratch! heh Not bloody likely!

I’ve gotten a few hits from people looking for an earlier post I did on Tom, so I thought I’d post a new picture. OK, it’s really for me to enjoy! heh He looks like he’s having a cup of coffee and maybe reading the paper or a script.

Tom, can I get you a refill? Brush your hair back..kiss your face? Oh, did I say that? Slip of the tongue! No, really! heh

To honor the 75th aniversary of the purple heart medal, artist Roger Baker mowed a 850.000 sq ft replica at Thomas Bull Memorial Parl in Hamptonburgh, New York. Awesome!

There was a little old lady, who every morning. stepped onto her front porch, raised her arms to the sky, and shouted: “PRAISE THE LORD!”

One day an atheist moved into the house next door. He became irritated at the little old lady.

Every morning he’d step onto his front porch after her and yell: “THERE IS NO LORD!”

Time passed with the two of them carrying on this way every day.

One morning, in the middle of winter, the little old lady stepped onto her front porch and shouted: “PRAISE THE LORD! Please Lord, I have no food and I am starving, provide for me, oh Lord!

The next morning she stepped out onto her porch and there were two huge bags of groceries sitting there.

“PRAISE THE LORD!” she cried out. “HE HAS PROVIDED GROCERIES FOR ME!”

The atheist neighbor jumped out of the hedges and shouted
“THERE IS NO LORD; I BOUGHT THOSE GROCERIES!!”

The little old lady threw her arms into the air and shouted: “PRAISE THE LORD! HE HAS PROVIDED ME WITH GROCERIES AND MADE THE DEVIL PAY FOR THEM!
