Can

Drink. 

Upon impulse you reach for that can 
Sitting there within range
On the shelf there
Within the halo of light

You reach for the fire
That will Light the oxygen
That is in your lungs

You reach for the knowledge
That this will bring you to fame
That this has the potential to feed your desire

You reach for the power
That boasts of immortality
That will not end with an early death

Drank.

Upon impulse you reached for that can
That sat there within range
On the shelf over there
Gone is the halo of light

The fire incinerates within you
The oxygen is crackling with the burning
Of the fight that is in your lungs

The knowledge consumes you
Of unknown depths of the fame  
That burns within you to be desired 

The power is attracted to you
That boasts of the immortality
Death is not an option 

Drunk. 

The can has been consumed
It is no long within range
The shelf is no longer needed
The halo is upon you now

Unquenchable is the fire
It eats at the oxygen that is cannot
And destroys all that is impossible

Knowledge is what you have
And you keep modesty now instead of fame
Your will to be an individual is desired

Power is all yours, conqueror of the can
With this you can be immortal
Defeat in death is no longer an option

Rock Around the Clock!

One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, rock,
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, rock,
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, rock,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.

Put your glad rags on and join me, hon,
We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.

When the clock strikes two, three and four,
If the band slows down we'll yell for more,
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.

(1st guitar solo)

When the chimes ring five, six and seven,
We'll be right in seventh heaven.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.

When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven too,
I'll be goin' strong and so will you.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.

(2nd guitar solo)

When the clock strikes twelve, we'll cool off then,
Start a rockin' round the clock again.
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight,
We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight.
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, around the clock tonight.

Air Pop Popcorn!

Apparently,  most of you REALLY LIKE FOOD. So, for those that REALLY LIKE FOOD this one is for you! :D
Last night I went to the movies and saw The Hobbit with my family. I think it was fabulous movie, but my sibling says that there was a few parts added here and there that really weren't there in the first place. My sibling also said "Quit poking me every five seconds asking me if this was in the book or not!" Touchy!
Anyways, I got home and had a craving for popcorn. Not the day old stuff from the theatre (I only know this because I worked there for a summer) but really good scrumptious popcorn!
So, here is the following recipe for the best popcorn for the microwave without all the added junk in it.

Directions:
1. Get a brown paper bag.
2. Pour 1/4 cup off unpopped popcorn kernels into it.
3. Roll the bag over twice
4. Place in microwave for 2 minutes
* If the popping is finished before the 2 minutes TAKE OUT before it burns!
5. Pour into a large bowl and enjoy!

If you would like to add butter, or salt, the best time to do so is when the popcorn is warm!

Enjoy!

Our main character Rafe has decided to take middle school into his own hands and save himself from either being a bully or being bullied.  Well, in order to do that he’s got to come up with a plan.  A really good plan.  A really good fantastic plan! 

A really, unexpected plan that no one will ever expect out of good old Rafe.  And who better to start him off in this amazing plan than his best friend Silent Leo?  Leo has decided that it’s time for Rafe to step it up and pull off the most amazing adventures in school… wait, is that even possible?

Characters: Rafe, Leo, Rafe’s mother and sister and the school teachers

Setting: Rafe’s middle school

Plot: Rafe has decided to start of middle school the right way, the unexpected way, by being someone completely different.  He had decided to do something that has never been done before… break all of the rules to his middle school. And how is he going to do that?  Armed with the school book of rules and the comics of his best friend Leo, what could possibly go wrong?

Recipts Warning

PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR RECEIPTS - THIS IS IMPORTANT

 

 

W ITH THE CHRISTMAS SEASON COMING UP THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG!!!!!

CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS BEFORE LEAVING   ANY   CASHIER'S STATION!!!!!

THIS COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE.

It happened at Wal-Mart (Supercenter Store #1279),

10411 N Freeway 45, Houston, TX 77037 a month ago.

I bought a bunch of stuff, over $150, & I glanced at my receipt as the cashier was handing me the bags. I saw a cash-back of $40. I told her I didn't   request a cash back & to delete it.

She said I'd have to take the $40   because she couldn't delete it. I told her to call a supervisor.

Supervisor came & said I'd have to take it! I said NO! Taking the $40 would be a cash advance against my Discover & I wasn't paying interest on a cash advance!!!!! If they couldn't delete it then they would have to delete the whole order.

So the supervisor had the cashier delete the whole order & re-scan everything!

The second time I looked at the electronic pad before I signed & a cash-back of $20 popped up. At that point I told the cashier & she deleted it.  

The total came out right. The cashier agreed that the electronic pad must be defective. (yeah, right!)

Obviously the cashier knew the electronic pad wasn't defective because she NEVER offered me the $40 at the beginning.  

Can you imagine how many people went through before me & at the end of her shift how much money she pocketed?

Just to alert everyone. My coworker went to Milford , DE Wal-Mart last week.  

She had her items rung up by the cashier. The cashier hurried her along and didn't give her a receipt.  

She asked the cashier for a receipt and the cashier was annoyed and gave it to her.

My coworker didn't look at her receipt until later that night. The receipt showed that she asked for $20 cash back. SHE DID NOT ASK FOR CASH BACK!

My coworker called Wal-Mart who investigated but could not see the cashier pocket the money. She then called her niece who works for the bank and her niece   told her This is a new scam.   The cashier will key in that you asked for cash back and then hand it to her friend who is the next person in line.

Please, please, please check your receipts right away when using credit or debit cards!  

This is NOT limited to Wal-Mart, although they are the largest retailer so they have the most incidents.

I am adding to this....My husband and I were in Wal-Mart North Salisbury and paying with a credit card. When my husband went to sign the credit card signer, he just happened to notice there was a $20 cash back added. He told the cashier that he did not ask nor want cash back and she said this machine has been messing up and she canceled it.

We didn't think anything of it until we read this message that has been going around.

I wonder how many "seniors" have been, or will be, "stung" by this one????

THIS SCAM CAN BE DONE ANYWHERE, AT ANY RETAIL OR WHOLESALE LOCATION!!!

BEFORE LEAVING THE CASHIER'S STATION!!!!!

CHECK YOUR RECEIPT

BEFORE LEAVING THE STAND. I'VE SEEN PEOPLE DO JUST THAT. NOW I'LL START!

PASS THIS ON TO YOUR FRIENDS, KIDS, LOVED ONES

Whoops

I've slowly been giving away all my treasures
Small knick knacks and half hearted attempts
And things that needed a prayer
Pictures are Saved
Momentos are too
Pretty soon I realize
I'm right back where I started!
