POPPIN' HOGS AND OTHER MINDLESS DEEDS...

I have been a proud card-carrying member of POGO.COM for many years. As such I have collected 84 badges, spent the equivalent of 15 straight months online squinting at my computer screen, gotten a severe case of carpal tunnel syndrome, dredged up more swear words than an old sailor ---- and have NOT won the jackpot! Why else would I waste so much time - if not for the $4,999 prize. I have played blackjack, solitaire, bingo, word jong, and more - just for that jackpot. The latest? HOG HEAVEN SLOTS. Spin the reels and pop those hogs. If you are lucky enough to get the letters S P I N to line up, then you get to spin for the jackpot. This heavenly alignment happens rarely. Pat is in the recliner next to me popping hogs also. What does that tell you about our mental state? Are we classified "G.D." like Britney Spears? No - we haven't reached that dismal point as yet...we still function in the outside world. Speaking of mental derangement - I have finally finished cleaning every closet and cupboard in the house. Our realtor had the house on the "caravan" this Wednesday and I hope they all snooped so it was a worthwhile job. That's the way things are going here on our hill while we wait for "R" Day. And you DO know what we mean by THAT!
