Things that make you go hmmmm...

Those of you who are 90's kids now are jamming to C&C Music Factory in your heads aren't you? If not, this will help.

Things that make you go hmmmm are another one of my "random" posts. Basically a bunch of different topics that make one scratch their head and say, "Hmmmm" or in my case "What the fuck?"

Lets start with one that we can all agree on....gas prices jumped 20 cents a gallon today. The price is $3.82 per gallon. On Sunday, in Stuart at a gas station along the interstate, where gas prices are normally higher, it was $3.48....What the fuck? Oh sorry..."Hmmmmm" It's like weight on a woman. I can gain 10 pounds overnight but it takes me three weeks to lose 10 pounds.

Gas prices are jumping by 10 and 20 cents at a time and approaching the $4 mark again and no one is blaming President Obama....each time gas prices jumped five years ago, it was GWB's fault...."Hmmmmmm."

People who continuously use their children as pawns...What the fuck? (Sorry, but this one goes beyond "Hmmmm" status.) I get so inflamed about this topic that my rage is hard to put into words. A child needs the love, attention and influence of BOTH parents when and if at all possible. I don't give a shit what your excuse or reasons are for using your baby as a pawn, but its deplorable. I look at it this way...no matter what has happened between the two of you, at one time, you "laid nice" and a child was born. Swallow your stupid, egotistical pride, check your jealousy at the door and STOP abusing your child, because basically, that's what's happening when you use them as a pawn. **Time for a disclaimer....fortunately my DH and I get along famously (most days) and I have never had to go through a custody battle. HOWEVER, I see the relationship my children have with their father and I think often of the relationship I have with my dad and I would NEVER, no matter the circumstance, interfere with that, because I would be doing much more damage to my child than the assumed "payback" I would be giving to the EX.**

People who *most likely* but not always, trespass to hunt morel mushrooms then turn around and sell them for $30 a pound...Hmmmm....

Along those same lines, the morel mushroom obsession.....seriously people, why, pray tell, do you put something in your mouth that is in the same biological family as athlete's foot and jock itch? All are a fungus, but you deem one a delicacy?

Cousins....Yummm!!! (Excuse me while I go lose my lunch...) I think this warrants a WTF?

American Idol is still on television and to some, still has relevancy...Hmmmmmm. Let's be honest people..it's in it's 12th season, I believe, and other than Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson and Chris Daughtry, who didn't even win, are ANY of the winners even relevant in the music industry? Jennifer Hudson (not a winner) best known for Weight Watchers endorsement.....Fantasia, best known for her life being a Lifetime movie.....does anyone actually remember anyone else from this show?
