Merimask Goes On And On

Okay, I am being a smartass with that subject heading but supposedly that's what happens when things go "south." So here we are, beginning a new week: Merimask faces a possible lifetime without chocolate, Eloise laments the price of gas and nobody is selling shit. Plus Meri's bro is trying to quit smoking. And, after a lovely overnight interlude to the Napa Valley, I find myself once again having a &^%# post-menopausal ... uh ... "time." Okay, so that's waaay too much information. Dear Meri's Bro: instead of chewing that crappy gum, try this: Every time you want a ciggie think about all the money those companies spent getting Bush elected and realize that every time you light up you are contributing to the election of what could be somebody like him. Worked for me. (Well, thinking that PLUS having a heart attack worked for me.) I have had stops and starts and stops. Eventually you get to "Stop!" Besides, you really don't want your gorgeous home all stinky! Love, Bonnie
