			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been in many places, but I&#8217;ve never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can&#8217;t go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.</p>
<p>I have, however, been in Sane. They don&#8217;t have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work.</p>
<p>I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I&#8217;m not too much on physical activity anymore.</p>
<p>I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.</p>
<p>Sometimes I&#8217;m in Capable, and I go there more often as I&#8217;m getting older.</p>
<p>One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!</p>
<p>I may have been in Continent, and I don&#8217;t remember what country I was in. It&#8217;s an age thing. </p>
<p>PLEASE DO YOUR PART!</p>
<p>Today is one of the many National Mental Health Days throughout the year. You can do your bit by remembering to send an e-mail to at least one unstable person. My job is done!</p>
<p>Life is too short for negative drama &amp; petty things. So laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly! From one unstable person to another&#8230; I hope everyone is happy in your head &#8211; we&#8217;re all doing pretty well in mine!</p>

He will never stand her up and never let her down. He will reassure her when she feels insecure and comfort her after a bad day.</p>
<p>He will inspire her to do things she never thought she could do; to live without fear and forget regret. He will enable her to express her deepest emotions and give in to her most intimate desires.</p>
<p>He will make sure she always feels as though she&#8217;s the most beautiful woman in the room and will enable her to be the most confident, sexy, seductive, and invincible.</p>

<p>Anyhoo, in the spring the trees gets these 4&#8243; long caterpillar-like tonsel hanging thingys on them.  The grand kids call them snakes.  They&#8217;re full of pollen and make a mess in the yard.  I saw the lawnmower man pull up one day and the yard was tit-deep in them.  I watched him mouth one big FUCK!!! as he stepped out of his truck.  It was comical.</p>
<p><a href="http://gettheshovel.com/wp-content/uploads/christmas-inflatables.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-589 alignleft" title="christmas-inflatables" src="http://gettheshovel.com/wp-content/uploads/christmas-inflatables.jpg" alt="Christmas inflatables" width="150" height="150" /></a>So, what&#8217;s this post got to do with cleaning up leaves?  Nothing.  This is for all you rednecks who store junked or wrecked cars in your front yard knowing damn well you&#8217;ll never be able to afford to fix them and can&#8217;t afford to have them towed away.  Come on, for loud crying out.  Clean up your damn yard so you&#8217;ll have room for those giant inflatable vinyl Christmas kreechurs from Walmart this winter.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got some good news for you.  Have the those old clunkers towed away for free.  I shit you not.  All you gots to do is fill out an online form (you do have the interweb, right) and then they&#8217;ll be in touch with you (but not down there, you idiot. save that for your cousin.).  They&#8217;ll come and tow away that &#8217;76 Pinto for free and you don&#8217;t even have to be home.  In some cases, they&#8217;ll even do it with missing DMV papers.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve got two choices.  Both of them come with free towing and have a nationwide network of towing companies willing to take that Ford P.O.S. off your hands.  And yes, they&#8217;ll even come to your shit hole town.  They take cars, truck and motorcycles.</p>

<p>To get a feel for his audience, he asks, &#8216;How many people here believe in ghosts?</p>
<p>About 90 students raise their hands.</p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s a good start. Out of those who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you have seen a ghost?</p>
<p>About 40 students raise their hands.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s really good. I&#8217;m really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?</p>
<p>About 15 students raise their hand.</p>
<p>Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?</p>
<p>Three students raise their hands.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s fantastic. Now let me ask you one question further&#8230; Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?</p>
<p>Way in the back, Ahmed raises his hand.</p>
<p>The professor takes off his glasses and says &#8216;Son, all the years I&#8217;ve been giving this lecture, no one has ever claimed to have made love to a ghost. You&#8217;ve got to come up here and tell us about your experience.</p>
<p>The Middle Eastern student replied with a nod and a grin, and began to make his way up to the podium.</p>
<p>When he reached the front of the room, the professor asks, &#8216;So, Ahmed, tell us what it&#8217;s like to have sex with a ghost?</p>
<p>Ahmed replied, &#8220;Oh shit, from way back there I thought you said Goats.&#8221;</p>

<p>So most of you prolly have some type of portal page that you use as your home page to get the news; could be Yahoo, Excite, MSN, or wtf ever.  What frosts my ass is when I come across a really cool news headline like &#8220;Alien Spaceship Found On White House Lawn&#8221; and there aren&#8217;t any fucking pictures.  I hate that kind of news reporting. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve had my fill of the economy going tits up, another trading house getting investigated by the SEC, Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan, or wtf ever.  A couple of months ago I found an article that was posted on <a href="http://discovery.com/">http://Discovery.com/</a>  Holy shit!  Those guys have pictures on EVERY damn post!  I signed up for their News Headlines daily email.  It&#8217;s refreshing.  There&#8217;s cool stuff on all kinds of topics. </p>
<p>So when some new temple gets discovered in the steamy depths of the Amazon jungle, they&#8217;ve got pictures.  Each article starts off with an image on the left and three bullet points to the right of it called &#8216;The Gist&#8217; which gives the highlights of the article.  These guys do news right. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the link for all of their newsletters.  Go sign up:  <a href="http://dsc.discovery.com/newsletters/newsletters.html">http://dsc.discovery.com/newsletters/newsletters.html</a></p>
