MORE ME 'N MY GEE PEE ESS

Gentle Readers,

After posting  ME 'N MY GEE PEE ESS last week, I received an email from my beloved LegalMist, telling me she had tried to comment on that post and had been unable to do so. Apparently, blogger is still having commentary problems.

So, I'm going to post her comment here, because you really should click on the link she provides and read about the murderous Mrs. Tom Tom.

Thus, from LegalMist:

I love my GPS, "Mrs. Tom Tom," too... 

... even though she tried to kill me once:

Then again, it was probably all my fault for not following her directions properly in the first place.

Or maybe she's just a vengeful bitch.

I know of another case of attempted murder by a GPS. I used to work with someone who retired and took off on a celebratory car trip with her husband. They were in a rather remote area and not sure what to do. So, they obeyed the GPS and ended up off the road with their vehicle in tatters. No cell phone service. Heat during the day. Freezing at night. No one in sight. Food and drink stores depleted.

They decided they had to try to walk out to save their lives. Eventually some motorcyclists came upon them and rescued them. They were covered in insect bites and their lips were so swollen they couldn't eat the little bit of food they had left. 

Hospital. Recovery ensued.

They decided never to obey the GPS unquestioningly again and to always keep friends and family apprised of their whereabouts and when their arrival should be expected. 

I guess all I have to say now is watch out for your GPS because the sweet little lady in it might be a killer in disguise. 

My new cell phone has a navigation feature, which I have used once so far. Ms. ATT was quite pleasant.  

But I haven't yet angered her.

I'll be very careful with Ms. ATT.

Infinities of love and care,

BRAISING HOPE

Gentle Readers,

Last week the season finale of Raising Hope was on and it was wonderfully hilarious. If you haven't yet caught on to the fact that this is the best show on television, then you definitely need to click on the link, where you can find full episodes and some other information.

Anyhoo, I don't want to spoil the last show for you if you haven't seen it yet so I won't tell you too much, but in it, we travel back in time with the Chance family. What were they like five years ago when their Hungry Hungry Hippos game had all its marbles and Maw Maw still had her marbles too?

Jimmy dressed like a reject from Kiss; the girl he now pines for, Sabrina, saw Jimmy dressed that way and she pined for him; Hope's mom started her career as a serial killer with a little advice from Sabrina; and Virginia and Burt stepped in to save the day, as they so often do, when they discovered that Maw Maw was actually a few marbles short of a Hungry Hungry Hippos game.

I loved it, and I'm extremely happy that Raising Hope has been renewed for a second season. I look forward to watching Hope and the rest of the Chance family continue to grow up and down and sideways.

Infinities of love,

Lola
