So I offered to write an <a title="article" href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1682437/a_mothers_day_gift_of_music_saves_children.html" target="_blank">article</a> about it. I hope it generates a lot of donations.<br /><br />I did download "She's With Me" and it is beautiful. Such an amazing song about Collin Raye's granddaughter who is suffering from a undiagnosed neurological disorder. Love, love this song!<br /><br />So, I wanted to ask everyone to donate money to OperationKids.Org. To get the Collin Raye download, go directly <a href="http://operationkids.org/collinraye/">here</a><br /><br />You can read my article about it by clicking <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1682437/a_mothers_day_gift_of_music_saves_children.html">here</a>.<br /><br />Please donate to this wonderful cause!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7144203062754692275-2387828377756188656?l=fashionablysatired.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rissa Watkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01399186712928389792noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144203062754692275.post-2903048274702154272009-03-28T11:33:00.000-07:002009-03-28T11:36:46.369-07:00This is getting so annoying.

What that means is if someone searches for the article, they won't find it. Kinda like writing in a vacuum or maybe for this blog. (anyone out there? hellooooo, loooo, loooo, looo) Anyhoo, since I haven't been the best for updated this blog I have myself to blame. But the AC issue isn't my fault. So I am taking this space to add some missing articles so they get indexed.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1598453/understanding_collision_insurance_is.html">collision insurance</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1598735/how_comprehensive_coverage_protects.html">comp insurance</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1586107/understanding_car_insurance_rates_rating.html">car insurance rates</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1574309/how_to_apply_makeup_makeup_application.html">how to apply makeup</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1550595/how_to_remove_ear_wax_safely.html">Remove Earwax safely</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1556522/know_whats_really_in_your_food.html">Ewww! what's in your food</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1525333/prepare_your_home_and_you_for_spring.html">Spring Cleaning</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7144203062754692275-7955976301300534535?l=fashionablysatired.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rissa Watkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01399186712928389792noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144203062754692275.post-33106634530185157672009-03-12T16:18:00.000-07:002009-03-12T16:33:51.295-07:00As I was reading some AC posts, I came across this article for spring cleaning.

We are talking something a little more than oregano here. He discovered marijuana in the walk in fridge. Police were called and found marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine and scales at the restaurant.<br /><br />The owner was arrested. Yea sure he is a drug dealer, but you have to admit it is a brilliant business plan. You sell them the drugs, they get the munchies and you sell them pizza. Heck it didn't even have to taste good.<br /><br />The customers get baked, the pizza gets baked- it's win win.<br /><br />Here's the link to the <a href="http://www.azcentral.com/community/phoenix/articles/2008/10/02/20081002abrk-pizza1002.html">article</a> .<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7144203062754692275-8287143802629841640?l=fashionablysatired.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rissa Watkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01399186712928389792noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144203062754692275.post-76603071681600637062008-08-08T11:33:00.000-07:002008-08-08T11:42:37.831-07:00I should clarify that my husband is black- no not African-American, he considers himself black so don't post angry comments.<br /><br />I clarified this because of the little story I am going to share with you. <br /><br />He went to the McDonald's drive through and order an ice cream in a cup. When he paid the lady told him to tell the next window that he wanted a sundae without any syrup because she rang it up as a sundae. So he drove up to that window and told the girl he didn't want any syrup on his ice cream. She stopped and looked at him puzzled and said hold on and walked away.<br /><br />A black employee walks up to the window and tells him she didn't understand what he said and asked him to repeat it, which he did with a smirk on his face.<br /><br />He gets home and tells me about it and I crack up. It was the black to black translator! He said he was thinking to himself, <em>Was I speaking in Ebonics or something?</em>. They had to bring a brotha out to understand him.<br /><br />I could not stop laughing at him.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7144203062754692275-7660307168160063706?l=fashionablysatired.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rissa Watkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01399186712928389792noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144203062754692275.post-20302847313205429142008-07-25T17:44:00.000-07:002008-07-25T17:52:32.033-07:00An 11 year old Sao Paulo Boy was attacked by a pit bull while playing in his uncle's backyard. He grabbed the dog by it's neck and bit it back. <br /><br />He bit the dog hard enough to lose a tooth- ironically his canine tooth. The dog let go and stone masons who were working nearby chased it away before it could attack again.<br /><br />I love this kid! Good for him for biting the mutt back- he probably saved his life by doing it.<br /><br />I bit my cat's tail once after I got sick of her biting me. I have never seen that cat more surprised! She stopped biting me though.<br /><br />Spitting out cat fur is not fun though.

(boom chicka, boom boom music playing in the background).<br /><br />Come on baby, you know you've always wanted to see it. You've been curious, there is nothing wrong with that- just take a little look. It will be our little secret.

We went for the deluxe package and had him washed, conditioned, shaved and teeth cleaned. We spent about $120 but he really needed a shave for summer.<br /><br />So we pick him up in my Toyota Matrix. It is a hatchback so there isn't really a trunk. We put him in that cargo space and drive the 6 miles home. About half way home we smell something really bad. At first we thought it was dog gas- hmmph, I wish. Nope he had pooped. Oh wait, it gets better.<br /><br />He had diarrhea. He then jumps into the back seat and gets it all over the back seat as well. Thank goodness I grabbed his collar before he got any on my son or his carseat.<br /><br />That was the most disgusting thing ever! I am dreading driving it to work tomorrow and driving home in it after it sits in 110 degree weather all day long.<br /><br />Dog grooming $120<br />Cleaning supplies $50<br />Toyota Matrix with all plastic in the rear cargo area so we could just turn on the hose and wash it down- priceless!!<br /><br />I gotta write those Toyota people a letter.<br /><br />Mocha Before...<br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_-LUxrVsZEWQ/SHGfv0vWoqI/AAAAAAAAAAM/h_nzEbV8aeg/s1600-h/IMG_0598.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220129087059042978" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_-LUxrVsZEWQ/SHGfv0vWoqI/AAAAAAAAAAM/h_nzEbV8aeg/s320/IMG_0598.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Mocha After...<br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_-LUxrVsZEWQ/SHGgCW87hJI/AAAAAAAAAAU/J8FgAlGvcMg/s1600-h/IMG_0965.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220129405480436882" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_-LUxrVsZEWQ/SHGgCW87hJI/AAAAAAAAAAU/J8FgAlGvcMg/s320/IMG_0965.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />If you want to read about Mocha's rescue after being abandoned click <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/635439/anthem_pets_rescues_pets_abandoned.html?cat=54">here</a> .<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7144203062754692275-8213183089566807553?l=fashionablysatired.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rissa Watkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01399186712928389792noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144203062754692275.post-34598699632878095802008-07-03T20:27:00.000-07:002008-07-03T20:38:28.275-07:00So I went to visit my dad today. He has been a psych facility because after he broke his hip the hospitals really screwed up his meds. He is bi-polar, so it is never fun when he isn't on medication. <br /><br />So after he accused nurses etc of trying to kill him and torture him, we thought it best to get him in this facility to get him straightened out.<br /><br />Last time I was there I had written out my sister, brother-in-law and my phone numbers and taped the list to his wardrobe. Today it was gone.<br /><br />I didn't think much of it until I mentioned it to my sister. Apparently my 17 year old niece got a call last night. It was an old guy who was whispering. She thought it was my dad. He asked who was on the phone and she told him her name. He then asked why she was whispering- when he was the one whispering. He then hung up after awhile.<br /><br />Great, so some crazy old man has all of our home and cell phone numbers and names. we can't even screen the calls in case dad calls.<br /><br />I am so tempted to screw with the guy if he calls. I can whisper to him to be careful because THEY are listening. Or I can answer, not say anything and wait until he finally says hello and pretend I called him and say hello and ask for someone else. hehehe<br /><br />Ok I know it's mean, I wouldn't really do it. Well maybe not anyway.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7144203062754692275-3459869963287809580?l=fashionablysatired.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rissa Watkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01399186712928389792noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144203062754692275.post-17921087064132903632008-07-02T13:57:00.000-07:002008-07-02T15:18:39.281-07:00A potato farmer in Germany went into a store to get some smokes. His emergency brake came loose and 25 tons of potatoes (or as Quayle would say potatos) went crashing down a hill and smashed a car against a wall.<br /><br /><br />See sometimes the potato mashes back! Imagine what other foods could have their revenge as well...<br /><br /><br />Lobster escapes in kitchen and knocks a pot of boiling water on the cook or<br /><br />Cows stampede right through a BBQ restaurant or<br /><br />A pancake lands on man's face while he is flipping it on his rooftop.
