Day 14: What’s on your iPod?
I nominate this tree [en route to G's treasure trove] to be my primary source of funding.
If I had a money tree with unlimited harvest potential– among countless other things– I could shop the Apple Store with reckless abandon. But alas I do not. A $3 investment gave me three songs on my iPhone from this fine fellow.
Hey Mickey!

Do you see that fine Paso Robles establishment? That’s the One Stop, otherwise known as the location where I buy my lottery tickets. Because that’s just what you do when you are poverty stricken….spend money you don’t have hoping to win ridiculously large sums of cash that will ease your fiscal burden and move you into nouveaux riche territory. 
Apparently I’m not the only one who subscribes to this train of wishful thinking– lots of lottery tickets are purchased here. Just last week there was a big winner.
To.
The.
Tune.
Of.
78.
Million.
Dollars.
Life is so good. But, uh, it’d be a lot better if I was the lucky owner of that still unclaimed ticket! If nobody takes ownership soon it defaults to me, right?
With infinite love, gratitude, and respect,

I don't know which is worse.....the occupation, the offense, or the circumstances. Probably all of the above.
Did anyone else miss the memo that Yahoo purchased the site formerly known as Associated Content? I don’t want to shed any more tears ruminating on the terrible changes….so instead I’ll plead for your assistance. Can anyone help me retrieve my former content that seems to have vanished into thin air, save random snippets on Google?! Never again will I allow so much time to lapse between login times. Lesson learned.
Thus far I haven’t had an opportunity to discuss anything even remotely controversial on my new AC page. Of course it’s not my goal to ruffle feathers– I just speak my irreverent and opinionated mind– and if people get riled up, so be it. While I hope to educate, inform, share another viewpoint, make you laugh, or cause you to file something in your memory bank [any or all of those depending on the article]….I’m not going to lose any sleep if I fail to do any of those things or make you virtually despise me. Or even despise me in real life since my haters just can’t stay away from me. ;)
I could easily go off on a tangent about the aforementioned haters but I’ll save it for AC. You can also expect to see the following: recipes [because at least in the kitchen I can pretend I am normal and somewhat tame]; Casey Anthony, Warren Jeffs, Jessie Dotson, and other scumbags; why you should care about the West Memphis Three; the special place in hell reserved for people who file false reports with law enforcement agencies; pregnancy round two; and finally– you already know– why I’m STILL not going to breastfeed.
