Capitalization and Spelling

It used to be that capitalization and spelling
were important. I remember the first time I
saw a billboard that had an intentional mis-
spelling and I was shocked. It's not unusual
now to see days spelled as dayz or cheese
spelled as cheez.

Kentucky Fried Chicken is now KFC. Dairy
Queen is now DQ and Burger King is BK. Is
Wendy's going to be just plain W in the future?

I also don't understand why some stores, restaurants, and magazines choose to
begin their names with lowercase letters. A proper name is something to take
pride in. When adults purposely deceive young people by writing incorrectly,
they can't expect young people to care about the world and run it properly in
the future.

Dreams

Many people believe that dreams
mean nothing, but I disagree. I think
that a dream will always tell you
something. It may tell you about your
future, your past or even your fears
My father says he solves problems
in his dreams. In my dreams I usually
have problems.




My reoccurring dreams are the ones that stick with me the most when I wake up.
I'm always dreaming that I need to use the restroom, and there is something wrong.
In the restroom I feel like I'm being watched, there is not enough toilet paper, the
toilet won't flush, or the place is really dirty. Then there's the dream when I'm at
school and I'm late for class, I forgot my locker combination, or it's time to go
home and I can't find my sister. The worst reoccurring dream that I used to have
involved my oldest son. My dream always involved something bad happening. I
saw him fall off a cliff, a balcony, and even drown. The dreams about him lasted
until the day he died of pneumonia.

I heard for years that if you die in a dream you are dead. That's not true. I dreamed
that I got killed in a car wreck and I'm still here.

After my granny died I dreamed that she said she wanted some fried oysters. I
asked my mother if Granny liked fried oysters and she said yes. My granny told me
something I didn't know in a dream.

Although most of my dreams are negative, occasionally I hear a piece of music in
a dream and I'll write down the notes if I can remember them long enough.

I look at dreams as an extension of my life. The life I live when I close my eyes.

10 Ways to Be Annoying

1. Have a negative attitude all the time.

3. Call or visit someone only when you want or need something.

4. Go to work sick and cough all over everyone.

5. Constantly degrade and gossip.

6. Borrow stuff from everyone, so you won't have to buy anything.

7. When you're at work instead of working, just walk around and talk to people.

9. When someone's eating something put your hand in their food then ask,
    "Can I have some?"
