My fridge is a Rubic's Cube

I don't have a large refrigerator, it's just more room to store food you will end up throwing out anyway.  Tonight I wanted a drink of grape juice located on the top shelf, second row back on the left.  I reached in and moved the ice tea over just a bit to the right.  I moved the orange juice, which was next to the iced tea, over to the right and also moved it towards the back.  I then moved the ice water right and in to the OJ's original location, this freeing up space for me to move the grape juice to the right and forward to the original position of the ice water.  Now take grape juice out of fridge, pour a glass then put juice back in the fridge and reverse all steps listed above.  The same applies to the lower shelf, the condiments :)

Hey Jimmy, Joe, John, Jim, Jack


On the way to work this morning, as I sat in the passenger seat while Hubs drove, I wondered if you were given a name by your parents that was difficult to spell and never pronounced correctly what would be the most common name to start calling yourself.  My first thought was John, thinking of a male name because the individual I was thinking of prior to this thought, who's name is unusual is a man.  I thought John based on the old fictitious name in the movies, John Smith.  Further thought had me lean more towards Joe,  It is used so often to symbolize the male American.
G.I. Joe
Whatta ya know Joe?
Set 'em up Joe!
Bazooka Joe
Average Joe
Joe Blow
Camel Joe

Then I thought but it is the name John Doe that is used for the unknown deceased male.  Could it be they used John only because Joe Doe sounds silly?  You also have the Dear John letter.  A toilet is referred to as a John.  Hmm John seems to have negative connotations, BUT then there is Johnny on the spot and there is nothing negative about that adjective.  I like to be Johnny on the spot when headed for the John, but I say I'm Joanie on the spot ;)

Just something I thought about on the way to work 1/8/2018

"Official" day of thanks

Hubs and I will be eating at home this Thanksgiving.  We have eaten out the past several years.  I miss eating at home but hubs wanted to ease burden of cooking large meal and then clean up, for me :)  We will be trying something different, a whole turkey breast bone in instead of a whole turkey.  Wish me luck.  I will do my best. 

I hope y'all have a nice holiday where ever and with whom ever you are.

Don't put my faith at question because I don't want to bring Syrian refugees here to the United States.  That is correct, I said it, I do not want to bring Syrian refugees here.  That does not mean that I don't want the USA to help them.  Goodness gracious you can help someone without bringing them into your home putting you and your family at risk.  There is a boatload of country in the middle east.  The USA can still offer monetary and manpower support for these folks.  Surely there is somewhere in the vastness of the middle east where they would be at less risk than where they are now.    You can only bring in so many any way.  Who gets to come who has to stay in harms way.  Wouldn't it make more sense to try and help possibly more.  Do I think there could be a terrorist among the refugees?  Well certainly there could be.  Is that my biggest concern for not bringing them here? No.  We have enough people here in need of help, HERE; born here and not alike.  Would I close the door?  Yes.  Oh boo hoo if the door would have been closed a bazillion years ago to the US then I might never have been...  I'd have been, just somewhere else and that's not necessarily a bad thing. My reason for not wanting to bring others in need here has nothing to do with race or religion.  I just think enough is enough.
