Are you ready for some Friday Silliness?
lucky9teen sent me a FReepmail saying she is sick and asking me to post this thread. This is an awesome responsibility and I hope, with your help, that this thread will be a crazy, insane, off-the-wall and out-of-the-box experience.
Let's get started:
Some would say this is a perfect mix:
Ukraine buys almost all its energy (natural gas)from Russia. Revenues from natural gas sales are a primary source of income for Russia.
Because of the recent disagreement between Ukraine and Russia, Russia is raising the price of natural gas it sells to Ukraine.
Ukraine is almost broke and can't afford the increase in the natural gas price because it would be forced into bankruptcy.
Obama(the USA) just announced the United States is giving Ukraine $1 billion to assist in paying for the higher priced natural gas it buys from Russia.
So, the United States is actually giving Russia $1 billion because the money is just passing through Ukraine.
The first question: Has Putin figured out a way to raise the price of his natural gas sales and make the U.S. pay for the increase?
Next question: Was he really in the KGB or was he a commodities trader?
If this analysis is accurate, Putin just got Obama(the USA) to pay him $1 billion by holding a press conference and trucking some troops across town from the Russian Navy base in Ukraine.
Who is the smartest guy in the room now?
Some people never develop beyond this stage.

Drink more Ovaltine. Got it.
My kind of gal.....
A Texas Lady Tale.
Kind of a Texas thing….but maybe you “others” will find enjoyment as well.
One day, a very gentle Texas lady was driving across a bridge in Austin. As she neared the middle of the bridge, she noticed a young man fixin (”fixin” in Texas means: has the means or abilities to take action) to jump...
She stopped her car, rolled down the window, and said, “Please don’t jump! Think of your dear mother and father.”
He replied, “My mom and dad are both dead; I’m going to jump.”
She said, “Well, think of your sweet wife and precious children.”
He replied, “I’m not married, and I don’t have any kids.”
She said, “Well, then you just remember the Alamo.”
He replied, ‘’What’s the Alamo?’’
She replied, ‘’Well bless your heart...just go ahead and jump, you little Yankee Democrat Bastard!’’
Oh, YES! And NOW!
I live not far from Luckenbach.
