Today is Valentine's Day and for you men out there that means empty wallet day. Well as those with date's drink, eat, and dance the night away. There are some of us out there that well, need to settle for a Heart Shaped Pizza, beer, and a sappy movie - black and white is what I prefer.
However, in the spirit of those without dates and with, I give you some creepy Valentine's Day Cards. Most are from the past.
Enjoy.
Talk about stalking! "You Can't Hide From Me My Pretty."
Be My Valentine or I am gonna blast ya with my Glock!
Just a creepy clown carrying fruit! Not sure what message of love he is sending!
Guilt Trip them into loving you. If you don't be my Valentine I'm gonna shoot my self in the head and then the rope will drop into the water chocking me then drowning me. What I cannot believe is that HALLMARK put that one out.
This one screams, "Hey, look at my crotch!"
The Female stalker! YOUR MINE! Then the crazy eyes!
Not sure, does this mean she is a BITCH! Or is she a SLUT?
Don't put up a fight, I'm gonna take you regardless!
Can't tell if that is a dude or a chick, either way someone's getting smashed with a jealousy hammer!
Um - OK!
More with guns and suicide! I guess guilt worked back then.
Another gun one, I guess if you don't be mine, I'm gonna shoot and I don't miss. Again, guns also must have worked back then.
Not sure what the hell is going on here. Halloween meets Valentine's Day? Creepy nonetheless!
Well, I hope y'all enjoyed my selection of creepy cards.
Shirley Temple Black, America's Dimpled-faced Darling, who sang and tap-danced her way into our hearts during the great depression, has passed away this morning at the age of 85. She had reached Stardom and world-wide fame at a young age that no other child actor has done. With her golden locks of hair she dazzled us and made America forget, if only for a moment, the harsh depression. During that time she had been photographed more than FDR. Adolphe Menjou, her co-star in her first big hit, “Little Miss Marker,” described her as “an Ethel Barrymore at 6” and said she was “making a stooge out of me.” The 23 motion pictures her sparkling personality, golden ringlets, and sunny optimism lifted spirits and made her famous.
Many Temple-inspired products were manufactured and released during the 1930s. Ideal Toy and Novelty Company in New York City negotiated a license for dolls with the company's first doll wearing the polka-dot dress from Stand Up and Cheer!. Shirley Temple dolls realized $45 million in sales before 1941. A mug, a pitcher, and a cereal bowl in cobalt blue with a decal of Temple were given away as a premium with Wheaties. Successfully-selling Temple items included a line of girls' dresses and accessories, soap, dishes, cutout books, sheet music, mirrors, paper tablets, and numerous other items. Before 1935 ended, Temple's income from licensed merchandise royalties would exceed $100,000, doubling her income from her movies. In 1936, her income would top $200,000 from royalties. She endorsed Postal Telegraph, Sperry Drifted Snow Flour, the Grunow Teledial radio, Quaker Puffed Wheat, General Electric, and Packard automobiles
As she made the transition from child actor to adult actor the audience and her popularity slacked and she retired from the silver screen at 22. Temple became active in the Republican Party in California. In 1967, she ran unsuccessfully in a special election in California's 11th congressional district to fill the seat left vacant by the death of eight-term Republican J. Arthur Younger from leukemia. She ran as a conservative and lost to law school professor Pete McCloskey, a liberal Republican who was a staunch opponent of the Vietnam War. She was appointed Representative to the 24th United Nations General Assembly by President Richard M. Nixon (September – December 1969), and was appointed United States Ambassador to Ghana (December 6, 1974 – July 13, 1976) by President Gerald R. Ford. She was appointed first female Chief of Protocol of the United States (July 1, 1976 – January 21, 1977), and was in charge of arrangements for President Jimmy Carter's inauguration and inaugural ball. She served as the United States Ambassador to Czechoslovakia (August 23, 1989 – July 12, 1992), having been appointed by President George H. W. Bush. She was on the TV almost every Sunday while I was growing up. I grew up on her movies and shorts. She definitely had sang and tap-danced her way into my heart. I always and still enjoy watching her. Her smile is infectious and she always makes me smile. I have my kids exposed to her so that another generation will be touched by her smile. And appreciate her movies and her carefree attitude. One of my favorites is "Bright Eyes" where she sings 'Good Ship Lollipop'. I think one of her earliest shorts was 'War Babies' it is actually still funny to watch even if it is black and white and lo-def. I encourage you all to watch some of her movies, I prefer black and white but that is becoming harder to find. The colorized versions are good too. I hope that TMC or AMC will have a Shirley Temple Marathon. Shirley Temple died of natural causes on February 10, 2014, at the age of 85. She was at her home in Woodside, California, surrounded by family and caregivers
She is now singing and dancing while sailing on the 'Good Ship Lollipop' over the Rainbow. She will be missed by many. Heaven now has a new dimple faced darling angel.
I am not sure if you have heard but yes, a ghost ship with Cannibal Rats aboard is sailing towards Great Britain. If you do not know don't worry baby birds, I will feed you. The Lyubov Orlova is abandoned, no humans aboard, adrift in the Atlantic. Aimlessly this ship is propelled by the currents. The Lyubov Orlova was built for the Far East Shipping Company back in 1976 as a 4,200 ton cruise ship. It was made in Yugoslavia, it purpose, to cruise the cold regions of the world. She normally sailed the Artic and Antartic. In Sept. 2010, she was seized by Canadian authorities at St John's Newfoundland due to debts totaling $251,000 US. So there she sat.
Lyubov Orlova derelict dockside in St. John's, 2012
Now you CAN blame Canada. In 2012, she was sold for scraps. Initial destination, the Dominican Republic. After one day of being towed from the dock, the tow line snapped. And she began her first unguided float. The Tug boat unsuccessfully tried to reattach the line. Waves and storm conditions forced them to abandon their attempt. At this time the Lyubov Orlova was slowly drifting eastward off the southeastern end of the Avalon Peninsula in Canada. An offshore supply vessel named the Atlantic Hawk was task to regain control of the drifting ship. The Atlantic Hawk gained control of the ship and pulled her out to international waters to avoid being a risk to the oil and gas operations in the region. Once in international waters the Transport Dept. of Canada decided to cut her loose. They claimed safety reasons why they cut the ship loose. Referring to the Rats, Canada's National Post explained that the vessel pretty much sat on it's fat metal butt in the dock for over two years. This "virtually guaranteeing" that the ship is infested with hundreds these little bastards. And since there's no food aboard, the rats likely turned on each other. Transport Canada stated that the owner of the vessel is in charge of her movements. And that they should also take responsibility for tracking of the ship. Now this diseased cannibal rat-infested cruise liner is heading straight for Great Britain. The Prime Minister of Great Britain is not too worried. When asked if he was going to dispatch the Royal Navy to intercept the "ghost ship" he replied, "It sounds like we have a start of a B-rated movie script!" Canada's Prime Minister stated to Great Britain and the world, "Soory 'boot that, eh hosiers".
Ok, now that the dust has settled on last nights Niners loss to Seattle. And that the realization has set in that my 49ers are not going to the Superbowl, I can now put a more calm perspective on the game.
Before we go into the full dynamics mistakes and others let us first examine the quarterbacks.
These two are fairly evenly matched on the air game with yardage and completions. Except Wilson does have the more yardage on passes that counted and of course no picks. As far as yards on the ground, Kaepernick actually has more yards on the ground at 130 yards rushing than Seattle had overall at 115 yards. I would have to rate Kaepernick as the better of the two QBs. He had better pocket presence, better composure while under pressure and shown more athleticism than Wilson. The rushing of Kaepernick vs the team Seattle (not a single player) was greater.

As you can see it was a very, very close game indeed. Although, Seattle claims the 12th man to be the crowd noise, it did not seem to affect the offensive line. Only one false start on SF.
Nonetheless, Seattle may have won the game, but it was their ability to capitalize on SF's errors. And it was a good knock-down drag out fight til the end. Not one sided in the least bit. Also, SF had 3 turnovers whereas Seattle only had 1.
Then it was the very last throw to Crabtree in the corner and tipped by Sherman which allowed an interception to occur that sealed the Niner's fate. In my opinion, there were a few Bullshit penalty calls but it was a good game.
Kaepernick being as athletic as he was and in my words played a hell of a game. He still took the loss personally and blamed only him. He felt that he didn't play hard enough to win. In my book this makes him a true leader and a class act. In addition, Patrick Willis said, "We win as a team and we loose as a team" again showing the true grit of the SF 49ers.
Now it will be Seattle vs Denver in Superbowl XLVIII.
So my pick come Superbowl Sunday will be Denver. I feel that Payton "Omaha" Manning will be able to stomp a hove into the face of the Seahawks.
The holiday season had me running crazy. I just want to wish Happy Hanuka to my Jewish friends, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
As 2013 came to an end, I had several craziness happen. Especially in the winter. My Halloween decorations has always been a major hit in my neighborhood.
But the sad part was because of an Ice Storm, I was not able to get my Christmas Decorations up in time for our HOA judging. So, I lost the Christmas decoration contest for the first time in THREE years. Held the title of Best Kids Theme since the contest began. Oh well, there is next year. And sadly, I have already started planning for it.
Colo. man signs up for his insurance, his dog gets covered instead!
Well, you can get your dog covered but probably not you!

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — The Colorado healthcare exchange has processed applications for thousands of people … and one dog.
Shane Smith, of Fort Collins, says his dog Baxter received a letter informing him that a health insurance account had been opened in his name through Connect for Health Colorado.
“I thought, ‘Wow, this is so awesome,’” Smith said with a laugh. “They have gone out of their way to insure my 14-year-old Yorkie.”
Smith had called Connect for Health Colorado to sign himself up for insurance because his old plan was cancelled due to Obamacare.
He’s not sure exactly how the confirmation letter went to his dog, but he says he thinks it’s because of a series of security questions a representative asked him over the phone.
“There was some kind of code or something, so I gave them my dog’s name,” Smith said. “They must have just put it in the wrong slot or something.”
After hearing about all the headaches with Obamacare nationally, Shane says this mistake doesn’t seem so bad.
“It was pretty funny. Typical Obamacare, that they would insure your dog by mistake,” Smith said.
Yes, I think everyone or at least almost everyone LOVES Friday the 13th. I also believe everybody out there has a fear, nervousness, or is a bit leery of Friday the 13th. And of course the superstitions around that day.
I also love the movie franchise that Jason can never die.
Here is a little history/trivia or more like folklore about this day.
The earliest related lore I could find to Friday the 13th is the many executions of the Knights Templar's.
At dawn on Friday, October 13, 1307, scores of French Templar's were simultaneously arrested by agents of King Philip, later to be tortured in locations such as the tower at Chinon, into admitting heresy and other sacrilegious offenses in the Order. Then they were put to death.
1869 biography of Gioachino Rossini, who died on a Friday 13th.
Rossini was surrounded to the last by admiring friends; and if it be true that, like so many Italians, he regarded Fridays as an unlucky day and thirteen as an unlucky number, it is remarkable that one Friday 13th of November he died
In numerology, the number twelve is considered the number of completeness, as reflected in the twelve months of the year, twelve hours of the clock, twelve gods of Olympus, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve Apostles of Jesus, the 12 successors of Muhammad in Shia Islam, twelve signs of the Zodiac, etc., whereas the number thirteen was considered irregular, transgressing this completeness. There is also a superstition, thought by some to derive from the Last Supper or a Norse myth, that having thirteen people seated at a table results in the death of one of the diners.
Friday has been considered an unlucky day at least since the 14th century's The Canterbury Tales, and many other professions have regarded Friday as an unlucky day to undertake journeys or begin new projects.
Friday is also the day when Jesus Christ was crucified, making it through folklore and adding to its unpopularity.
One author, noting that references are all but nonexistent before 1907 but frequently seen thereafter, has argued that its popularity derives from the publication that year of Thomas W. Lawson's popular novel Friday, the Thirteenth, in which an unscrupulous broker takes advantage of the superstition to create a Wall Street panic on a Friday the 13th.
Hope you all stay away from Camp Crystal Lake this weekend. And oh, definitely no sex in a strange cabin, tent, or building.
Try to avoid saying things like, "I’ll be fine, I promise", "You stay here and I’ll go check it out", "I'll be right back", "It's just the wind", "There's no one there", et al. Well, have a good weekend. Cheers all
