More News then the Internet can hold.
Joan Rivers - what a freaking piece of work. I have lost all respect for her (not that I really had any in the first place). Not real fond of The Donald either. Celebrity Apprentice was a fun ride but 0-2 on picking the REAL winner. Strike 2 you're out!
With that said - Joan had a better charity, had less money to give it and is an old, sorry, bitter, woman so they gave the "job" to her. Joan actually managed to insult "me". I'm a poker player so I MUST be working for the mafia wining blood money.
Annie got screwed for acting like an adult while Joan who acted like a child with a tantrum won. The only redeeming part of last nights show was when The Donald accidentally asked Scott Hamilton which woman would he "do". The question sort of came out wrong.
I will NOT watch the show again.
===================================
Congratulations to Rianna!!!!Here is the cover of Model, Incorporated of which Rianna is the star ( you are suppose to envision her as the leading lady as you read the book).
========================================
Well - I guess when it comes to digging holes I'm left legged. My left knee is a little swollen as we dug 30 holes in the ground for landscaping this weekend.
13 Peking Cotoneaster
1 Black Choakberry
1 Miss Kil Lilac
3 Dogwoods
2 Gold Flame Spirea
4 Froebel Spirea
5 Coleus which I found out this morning are annuals (We need 5 more now)
1 Sweet Autumn Clematis
And don't forget spreading 3 cubic yard of mulch.
=====================================
Picture Car Drivers are worried about the 4th of July Parade and unless there are questions answered many will not attend. Who is the contact for this?? (seems to be ME at the moment).
On the other side of the coin the July 25th Celebration is looking good and we might have too MANY Picture Cars.
I was talking to a driver and there is a LOT of excitement for July 25 and he said that he would not be surprised at 30 Picture Cars. Including the one that is the Hero Car. The one Johnny Depp drove and is in almost every scene.
PLUS - The Milwaukee Modal "A" group might be making a special run to Columbus that day for an outing. From my research** it will be THE LARGEST GROUPING OF RUNNING ANTIQUE 1930-1940 CARS EVER IN THE HISTORY OF COLUMBUS (except for in the 1930s and 1940s when the cars were new - which does not count!
** Research consisted of my thinking back to the 3 years I have lived in Columbus and I can not remember a time such as this.
===========================
I know many of you flocked to West James Gallery Saturday to see the canvas print to the Public Enemies Columbus photo but - to late. The canvas didn't make it that far before someone purchased it (I can not reveal the name as I bet she does not want people to know she has THAT much money just laying around - I believe she was actually in her garden burying a chest of money when we drove up).
BUT - more are on the way as I took out a canvas print loan (24% interest - do you think that is too much? the guy seemed legit, he had all the papers in his trunk.)
===========================
WOW - I just got socked with a crap load to work of which all of it seems to be on fire. It seems when people retire the powers in charge seem to think the best way to handle it is to just give all the work to the next guy . . . like he is not busy already??
I like how the DINO (Democrat In Name Only) Governor told us how wonderful we were on one day and the next day he says we need to take 3 weeks off without pay. Plus he will lay people off AND he changed the rules so no one gets unemployment. SWEET DEAL!
Well - I have fires to put out AND I have to train someone.
grrrr

Watched the appretice too. I thought annie should have won as well, but I do have to admit that at times I did like Joan better.
ReplyDeleteMy mom works for the state too. She told me about the 16 days of unpaid leave and no raise. Boo! She's worked for the state for I believe 27 years!
How big was the canvas print?!
The canvas was 16x24??
ReplyDeleteYes - AT TIMES Joan was OK and AT TIMES Annie was a b*ith but for Annie it was never personal attacks.
I DID like Joan's charity better and it was not some default charity.
Great Blog!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Rianna!!!

And the Model A Club? I take it you got a hold of them. Yahoooo!
I can't wait to meet them.
This Celebration is going to be Super Great!!!
I hope everyone has had a good Monday..
I absolutely love the art and style direction on that cover look, but it's the model that brings it. Rianna's got It.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the final minutes of that show a few times while waiting for the local weather to begin, and... it just makes me despair. No, I didn't see episodes in their entirety (like that would justify stuff) but what I did see stuns me... that when people are such unbelievable diva a**holes, they don't lose their careers-- they win and are glamorized.
Just my $0.0002. What a naive pollyanna I am.
Jeez, people. I hope everyone in Columbus, and north, is OK. And that includes the animals at the clinic.
ReplyDeleteWe had an automated call from the Dodge County Sheriff's dept., telling us to stay indoors and shut the windows, so long as we are east of 73. Done.
Best of luck to folks who are closer, and a special prayer for the firefighters on scene.
I buying duct tape - still explosions!
ReplyDeleteEvacs now!
My prayers for the Vet Clinic who saved all the pets during the flood.
ReplyDeleteWe're okay over here--just checking in.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, awesome photo, Rianna! Congrats!! :)
I was happy Annie didn't win Celebrity Apprentice. She reminded me of a coworker I used to have. It was like reliving the nightmare of my old job every night I watched that show! :)
