Cowboys are proper southern gentlemen. They have manners because young southern boys are raised right by their mamas. A cowboy may be "rough and ready" but he is also polite, well-mannered, and respectful, especially of women. So a true cowboy, having been raised properly, would know the proper thing to do upon entering a building when wearing his cowboy hat. The proper thing, of course, would be to remove it, especially if he is entering a building in which he plans to sit down in and eat.
Am I right here? Does anyone agree or disagree or have anything else to add?
With that said, we can now move on to the point of my story...
We went out to eat this evening at China Buffet. A man entered the restaurant, went to fill his plate, sat down and proceeded to eat, not once bothering to remove his cowboy hat. As a female, I can say that was just wrong, rude. As a southern girl (somewhat), I can say that was an affront to my femininity, just simply rude toward all the restaurant patrons, and not to mention disrespectful to his mother IF she raised him to be a gentleman in the first place.
This may seem silly to some of you. Some of you may be thinking "Its just a hat, get over it!" Well, I may not be a southern belle, but I DO count myself as a southern girl. It may just be an opinion, but its MY opinion, and I feel that by wearing the cowboy hat when he obviously wasn't really a cowboy gentleman is disrespectful to all those rough and ready, cowboy hat and boot wearing, southern twang talkin good ole boys.
If any of you guys are true southern guys raised right by your mama or if any of you girls have a spot in your heart for those real southern guys, you'll get what I'm talking about....

Toilet Paper Blues
No, I wasn't stuck in the bathroom with no toilet paper... Actually my problem is with toilet paper dispensers - the ones in public restrooms.
The first kind is what I refer to as a "contortionist dispenser". These are dispensers that when you are sitting on the toilet, you have to almost touch your head to the floor and bend your arm at an odd, uncomfortable angle just to reach the underside of the dispenser to pull the paper out. If you've never had the...joy....of seeing/using one of these, if you're in Sikeston (and a female....unless you're a guy and want to risk sneaking into the girls' bathroom. Lol), you can find a "contortionist toilet paper dispenser" in the Wal Mart there (the one back by grocery). If you have seen/used one, you, too, know how incredibly annoying they are!
The second one is what I like to call a "one sheet dispenser" or a "paper rationing dispenser". These are the dispensers that when you pull on the toilet paper, one square rips off in your hand or you might get lucky and end up with 2 or 3 sheets. So you end up having to pull, get one sheet, pull, get one sheet, pull, get one sheet.... I don't know about you, but I'm not fond of wiping and ending up with....whatever....on my hand (:/ ewww) and the majority of the time in a public restroom you're going to find cheap and/or one ply paper. So to maintain an "ewww free" hand, you end up pulling ang ripping off one sheet for a while just to get enough paper in your hand. If you've not been frustratingly annoyed with these wonnnnderful dispensers.... *jealous!!*, and would like to keep it that way, avoid the women's bathroom at Arby's in Sikeston.
Yes, I know this has been an odd post, but I guess I'm just really passionate about my toilet paper. ; ) If you have any comments, I'd love to hear them. If you've encountered any of these frustrating dispensers or have a different one you'd like to share, leave a comment.

A Pair Equals.... One?
My boyfriend recently decided he needed some new eyes (contacts and glasses) so he shopped around and ended up going to Marion Eye Center in Sikeston.
He went in for his eye exam and picked out his glasses and contacts. They told him that 3 pair of contacts would be $80 (this is an approximate price, my memory is horrible, so I can't remember the exact amount...). Then it was time to wait for his contacts to come in......
When they called him to come pick them up, they told him the price was double what they had originally quoted him. He, of course, asked why. He told them that he was told half that price for 3 pair. The lady at the desk simply asked "Oh, is that what you would like to do? Just the three pair for [$80]?" Well since that's what he had agreed to in the first place, he told her yes. When he got home with his contacts, there were 6 contacts in the box.... All for his right eye only! He called and told them and they said that yes, that as "3 pair".... What he had asked for.
So, apparently, at the Marion Eye Center they seem to believe people only have one eye on their face. Or, maybe they just really believe that 6 contacts for one eye really is "3 pair".
Any comments? Anyone else dealt with Marion Eye Center? How was your experience?

In The News
An Amish man was arrested in Connersville, Indiana on 4 counts of soliciting a minor.
Willard Yoder, 21, confessed to sending 600 texts, nude pics and videos to a 12 year old girl after police arrested him when he arrived at their undercover sting in his horse-drawn buggy.
He has since been released on bond and is set to appear in court in September.
Ok... I have something to say...
What the heck is an Amish person doing with a cell phone in the first place?? I mean, he's still riding around in a horse-drawn buggy for crying out loud! Something is a little off there! And what really gets me is that its not just any old cell phone...its not like he went out and bought some cheap cell phone for emergency purpoes... No.... He has one with texting capabilities plus it takes pictures and videos and is able to send them as well!
I just don't know about people sometimes!....
