Betty made me watch these shows

We grew up with 3 TV channels (4 if you count PBS). And we had to get up and go change the channel. No remote controls. And the TV had an antenna you had to adjust to get the picture right. Anyway, I have one sister who is 3 years older than I. The TV shows I wanted to watch were mostly half-hour sit-coms. I liked The Monkees, My Mother The Car, My Favorite Martian, The Courtship of Eddie's Father, etc. Betty liked ADVENTURE and WESTERNS!!! Since she was older, I was forced to sit through every Taran movie, every Hercules movie and weekly series such as Rawhide, The Texan, The Wild Wild West, Sugarfoot, Wanted: Dead or Alive, Branded, Fury, The Real McCoys, Bonanza, Maverick, Daniel Boone, Paladin and any other show she deemed worthy. She would sit mezmerized by them and I would fidget and complain. The thing is that I can still sing every word to the theme songs of each of them and tell you who the stars were.
I think she still secretly loves those shows. Betty is a wise, successful, intuitive woman and I bet none of her friends, co-workers or social contacts know that she could tell you the names of every monster that Hercules ever fought or the entire history of Jason and the Argonauts.
Even now, when I amaze my friends with my obscure trivia knowledge of old TV shows they don't know that my usual refrain is "Betty made me watch it".
Ha! This cracks me up.

The Pod Drivers

Something I've noticed when I drive on highways is that every 10 miles or so there seems to be these drivers I call Pod People. They drive in the left lane at the speed limit or slightly below it and refuse to move to the right lane and let other people pass them. That's ok unless there is a right-lane Pod Person who is doing the same thing and drives at the same speed as the left lane Pod Person. Nobody can pass either one of them and they create a Pod of cars that creep along at the same speed for miles and miles.
And just when you think you've managed to overtake one of them, you realize you have to exit for gas or something. Then you find that you've re-entered the Interstate and area once again behind them.
I don't really have a problem with the drivers who KNOW they are going to be going slower. The beat-up pickups with a load of crushed cardboard boxes or an empty trailer or something. They stay in the right lane and let you pass them. It's the nit-noids that are in the left lane just tooling along while everyone else has to maneuver around them while giving them the stink-eye that really get me.

So this is it: MOVE OVER! DON'T ACT LIKE YOU'RE ENTITLED TO DRIVE WHATEVER SPEED YOU WANT IN THE LEFT LANE! GET A CLUE! DO YOU EVER LOOK IN YOUR REARVIEW MIRROR AND SEE THAT THERE ARE 10 CARS BEHIND YOU????

Dog Food and Toilet Paper

I never absolutely HAVE to go to the grocery store unless I need dog food and toilet paper. These seem to be the 2 things I can't go without. I can make do with all kinds of other stuff: food, cleaning supplies, make-up, beauty supplies, etc. But I can't do without dogfood and toilet paper. IF this dog of mine ever passes away (she's about 20 years old), I will only need TP to survive. YEA!!!!
