Lots of copy paste stuff today.

For those of you who haven't seen my booboo pic, go back one page.

Something a little different today. This was sent to me in an email and I wanted to share. Putting aside your political views, your opinion of the government and your tolerance/hatred/support of the war, just watch this as a human being. Get your tissue ready. I don�t know who the lady is that made this, but she did an amazing job.

It�s Saturday! I am looking out the window at sunshine! It is supposed to get up to 50 today! Yay!

We are going to get a Northeaster tomorrow. We are lucky here. We are just getting high winds, rain and flooding. That is a normal summer storm for us. At least it isn�t supposed to be snow. Isn�t supposed to be, being the key words in that sentence. We�ll see. I don�t trust them.

This caught my eye this morning. It was on my Home page (Y@hoo) under strange news.

The masked man entered the Kangaroo Express store early Saturday in this Orlando suburb and pointed what appeared to be a semiautomatic handgun at 60-year-old clerk Mary Parker, according to surveillance audio/video released Thursday. He demanded access to the safe, but she said she didn't have the keys.

He told her to empty the cash register into a bag. He then pulled up a stool for her to sit down and told her he was doing this because no one would hire him and he had bills to pay.

She started hyperventilating and pleaded with the gunman for help.

"I have heart trouble. Help me," Parker said.

"I'm sorry, ma'am," the gunman replied.

"I have heart trouble," Parker told him.

"Ma'am, it's going to be all right," the gunman said.

"I'm probably going to have a heart attack," Parker said.

"Oh my, ma'am, please do not have a heart attack. Please do not have a heart attack. Please don't, ma'am," he said.

The gunman let Parker call 911, and when the store phone didn't work, he let her get her cell phone. She told the operator she was having a heart attack, but didn't mention the robber. She then sat back down on the stool.

A customer came in and, without seeing the gunman, tried to calm Parker. She handed him the phone, and he spoke to the 911 operator.

The gunman then reappeared and told the man to get into the beverage cooler.

He then grabbed his loot and apologized again.

"You have a good day. I'm sorry this had to happen. I'm sorry. God!" he moaned. He then went out the door.

Police said Parker is OK.

Okay, one more tidbit from the strange news world. You think gas prices are horrible here? Thank your lucky stars you don�t live in what was previously Burma.

YANGON, Myanmar (Reuters) -- A serial car thief who stole 11 vehicles in six months was after only the fuel, which is severely rationed in the military-run former Burma, a police source said on Tuesday.

Police caught Maung Myo Win red-handed last month as he was trying to climb into a minivan in downtown Yangon, the semi-official Myanmar-language Crime Journal reported.

Under questioning, it emerged he had been involved in at least 10 other vehicle thefts in which the cars were left in another part of the capital with empty fuel tanks.

"As far as I know, he just stole the petrol," said a policeman, who requested anonymity.

Private car owners in the southeast Asian nation, which has been under military rule for 45 years, are allowed to buy 60 gallons of fuel a month at 1,500 kyat ($1.22) per gallon from state-owned filling stations.

If they need more, they have to resort to the black market, where petrol is currently selling at about 4,200 kyat a gallon.

I still haven�t gotten my chocolate yet. It�s funny. I have absolutely no appetite. None. Since Wednesday morning, I have consumed.

1/2 Bagel

1 � Slices toast

1 Jelly Donut

1 5� supreme pizza

1/2 English muffin with egg salad.

I am hungry, but two bites into anything I feel full and can�t eat any more. It took � hour to eat the English muffin last night. The only things that sound good to me lose their appeal almost instantly. I have to really be in the mood for something to eat anyway. I am a strong believer that when you have food cravings, it is natures way of telling you what your body needs. My craving has only been for the egg salad. Evidently, one egg took care of that. I have no desire for anything at the moment, though I am hungry. Strange, I know. I love, love, love lobster. I have a container of lobster meat in the freezer and even that doesn�t sound good. Salad stuff galore. Ummm, nope. Yes, my friends, with all the joking, even thinking about chocolate isn�t working.

Sorry about all the copy/paste articles here today. It just takes too long to type one handed so I cheated a bit. It has taken me 1 � hours to do this entry. No pain though. Well, not much.

Later,
Cosmic
