RTT: Lonely Farmers, Show Tunes & Geek Cakes

Another Tuesday, another Random Tuesday Thoughts...

I saw this on tv and almost peed myself...

 

Ha! It's a real site - Farmers Only! The only online dating site for Americas Farmers.

According to the website, "This group makes up America's Heartland – the slice of America with good old fashioned traditional values, values that were never lost by the farmers of our country."

So why are there so many pictures of trashy looking women in Daisy Duke cutoffs riding tractors?!

I have a new favorite way of entertaining myself while I'm doing housework. Our Direct TV cable company has a bunch of music stations, and I have discovered their Show Tunes channel. My mother would have LOVED this station! All show tunes, all the time. I sing along at the top of my lungs while I'm mopping or doing dishes or whatever. I'm seriously hoping that the UPS man doesn't show up while I'm in the middle of dancing along with Rita Moreno on "America" from West Side Story. Though I'm sure he's seen worse.

The other day, I had hunted all around for my reading glasses, and couldn't find them. I finally had to leave, got into the car, reached up to pull down my sunglasses and discovered this on top of my head...

Yes, that would be TWO pairs of reading glasses + my sunglasses. I have finally, officially become my mother.

Star Wars wedding cake...

Dr. Who...

Very inspiring!

My new iPhone game obsession! Swipe Four.

It's SO addicting! You make four letter words using the letters they give you. It's so simple, but completely fun. I HIGHLY recommend it. Well, not if you want to actually get anything done in your life.

Alright, short and sweet today. I'm working on brevity. It's very difficult. We'll see how it goes. Be sure to hop over and visit Stacy's other random thinkers!

My hair gets caught in the nose pieces of my reading glasses. So I try never to push them onto my head. Saves me from your predicament. I just leave pairs all over the house. Makes JR crazy.

[Nadine]

sorry but I laughed... 3 pair of glasses on your head!!!

[VandyJ]

I have yet to need reading glasses--I wear contacts because my eyesight stinks. I have however lost my sunglasses on top of my head on occasion.
My mother hooked her reading glasses to a chain around her neck and often "lost" her glasses when they were around her neck. Lovely. I really hope I don't get that bad.

They have a site for everything now, don't they?

You have to love misspellings in a newspaper - particularly when they're writing about literacy... *shakes head*

The multiple glasses on your head? I guffawed. Literally. ;)

Those cakes are out there! But cool.

Like you, I got distracted by your app - they don't have that one for Android... *pouts* If you get Scramble or Words With Friends working on your phone, hit me up - I'll play with you. ;) Fair warning, though - I suck pond water, so it might not be as challenging since you'd win all the time. :)

That headline is crazy.
I know a lot of people who do the glasses on the head thing too.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

The glasses on your head cracks me up...sounds like something I'd do!

[Jan]

I can't say anything about the glasses on your head, because it's something I'd do. Oh, hell - *have* done.

Those cakes make me want to grab some fondant and break out the cake pans - love, love, love them! I can't wait for The G Man's 3rd birthday; his mamma and I are thinking choo-choo trains as a theme. The cake should be fun!

Finally, how the dickens can farmers be lonely enough to qualify for their own dating site? They only make up 2% of the population...

[Amy Cassady]

I saw the lonely farmer's site commercial on TV a few weeks back. I posted a snarky remark about it on my Facebook and all of my friends were appalled that I would actually make a snarky comment about it because, "I met my significant other on an online dating site."

Apparently, people don't see the humor in a "Farmer's Only" dating site.

My current phone game obsession is Wordament. I don't know which platforms it's on, because you know...Windows Phone is the ugly stepchild of the smartphone industry, apparently. It's FUN, though. Boggle.

Missippi. Ha. That IS how it's pronounced down there...
