Yesterday as I was waiting for my flight to Minneapolis there were four 30-something women sitting near me. They had been in Chicago on a 'girls' weekend.' They were talking at length about Brittany Spears and commenting about celebrities in a magazine. "Look! She's not wearing her wedding ring in this picture."

Who is Brittany Spears?
She's that chick Ben Affleck was going to marry, but then they made that super bad movie and everything fizzled.
;-)
Who is Ben Affleck?
He's that guy with all the teeth that made that Pet Detective movie. The one that was dating that girl with the squinty eyes and weird voice, who later married some country singer, but divorced him about 2 weeks later.
Yeah. That's him.
That conversation was just an ashtray full of cigarette butts and discarded lottery tickets.
But all my conversations are valuable and important.
I envy anyone who doesn't have celebrity gossip cluttering their brain. I don't try to get it and yet it invades my brain stays. I am cursed.
Oh, THEM. Thanks, Eclectchick. This granny just doesn't follow the important people of today. How I miss George and Gracie, Lucy and Desi, Sonny and Cher.
Oh gosh, Gertrude. I trust you weren't counting on my facts being factual. I was making it all up. You're kidding, right?
I am reminded of Steve Martin's early routine regarding having fun by teaching kids to "talk wrong."
Snort - naughty me. What's new?
You mean the rain doesn't happen because God is crying about something I did?
Well yes, as a matter of fact, it does rain because of your evil deeds.
Who is gertrude?
I'm probably the oldest reader here (born in 1930.) My kids got me a computer for my birthday and the fifth grade grandson taught me how to use the internet and how to search for specific words. I typed in Lutheran, Minnesota, and a few others and found this site. You have been so welcoming and I laugh my britches off with your sense of humor. I'm not so much for Germany, though. Norway any day!

I try to actively avoid celebrity news and it still invades my world. I have an uncanny ability to remember celebrity names and faces. I can't tell you who I worked with at my last job, but I can tell you that star is and what roles she's played. I wonder what would happen if I actively tried to remember that crud.
You'd probably get all slackjawed.
Welcome, Gertrude, to the blog-o-sphere! It's a weird, wonderful Web world!
Thank you, dear. Your part of the blog-o-sphere is lovely. Others make me blush or I just don't understand them. You are a jewel.
I'm not usually up this late. Had the family over this evening and time got out of hand. Not complaining, of course!
Have a lovely week.
So Gertrude what does your family think of your late night surfing and blogging? How about your hubby? Is he a surfer too?
Sadly, my husband Frank died last year.
The grandkids think it's "rocking" that their grandmother knows how to use the computer.
Oh Gertrude, I bet you've been dating up a storm!
