Rise and Shine --- How can you hate oranges?

Good Morning and welcome to one of those dreary days where staying in bed seemed like a much better option!

The questions come, sometimes even before dinner is made, "What's for dessert?"
Sometimes, I'll have something ready, sometimes not, it just depends on what's for dinner.
If it's soup and salad, say, then dessert may be some cake or possibly ice cream. If dinner is pasta, dessert may be nothing.
Sometimes, when the dessert questions come, I'll pull out a piece of fruit.
"Oooh, I hate oranges."
How can you hate oranges. They are sweet enough. They are fun to eat.
"Can't we have something else?"
OK, how about an apple.
"Can we have some chocolate on it?"
No, just an apple.
"I hate apples!"
Now, I can see if maybe, just maybe, the citrus acid in the orange might not be to your liking, but an apple? Apples are just about the perfect food. They give crunch. They can be sweet (if that's what you like) or tart (if it's your preference).
"No apples. No Oranges. I want cookies."
Well, we don't have cookies. How about a banana?
"Aaahhhh...."

Rise and Shine --- Ramblin' on

Good Morning and welcome to what, for many, is an extra-long weekend!

Is anybody really surprised gas prices are going back up as summer nears. Do fuel companies really think we are that stupid. Sure, we'll be forced to pay the prices, but, come on, at least admit the gouging. It's not like it doesn't happen anywhere else. Rental prices down the shore double from Memorial Day to Labor Day. We know it's going to happen. Nobody pretends it's anything else but trying to make the most money when people really need the break. Heck, even the price of pizza goes up on the weekends (and Friday's during Lent).

Meanwhile, does anybody really care about these American Idol winners and their whining. Really, have any of these people done anything remotely listenable since they've been crowned? For some reason, there were 100 million votes cast during this week's finale. That's just ridiculous.

Finally, is there a dumber person in American than this banana bandit?. Sorry, I forgot

Here's something to get you through the weekend:
