SUMMER "FUN"



Yes, the things parents try to "entertain" the children during the summer. This is so Alek , he seems to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to convince us that he is bored and there is absolutely NOTHING to do. The mention of chores brings instant cries of not that or I did chores already. As in the the Agnes cartoon below, you almost feel that you should award them for their inventiveness and talent in annoying the adults into entertaining them.

Interesting to think about

I am a member of a WoW forum called the Gooch(yes I know what it means) and yesterday one of the members posted this film site and synopsis. Jesus Christ (Son of God and father of modern stand-up) returns to earth for His long-awaited comeback tour. He doesn't get past U.S. immigration: He's a bearded, Middle-Eastern guy, prepared to die as a religious martyr. He is immediately detained under the Patriot Act. http://www.chortle.co.uk/shows/edinburgh_fringe_festival_2006/j/14837/jesus:_the_guantanamo_years It is an Irish indie film that was shown at the Edinburgh Film Festival in 2006. I was thinking about the film's premise and it is true. If Jesus were to be around today he would have been branded a fanatic and if not already be incarcerated, he'd definitely be on every one's watch list. In fact if you think about it all of the "heroes" of the American revolution are considered Traitors by the British. We consider Crockett, Bowie a...

Long day of taxes

Well, Yesterday was really an interesting day. I spent the better part of it doing my taxes. Yes, I know that I should have done them months ago but time just seemed to spill away. And for some reason every time you sit down at the computer when WoW is install you get pulled into it. Oh, It starts off innocently enough, "I'm going to check my stuff in the auction House or see if I won that auction," you think. Then someone in your guild or a friend says I need help to do BRD or to kill those guys in Arathi and off you go. 10 hours later you haven't done a thing you intended and now your getting aggro for your housemates and giving it to your self for blowing off the day. So that is why I finally did my taxes one the day before they were due. I'm going to use the names of my housemates Wow toons in the blog . So Cadfen's car broke down on the way home from work yesterday and since her hubby, Luc was at work I drove her around to get the parts to d...

Octuplets "Rants from us grannys"

Image
As most of the world knows on 26 Jan 2009 a 33 year old women with 6 other children gave birth to 8 more. She now has 14 children all under the age of 8 and all by invitro. Here is a rant started by a friend from a newspaper article I think that some of the comments are really insightful as to the world she has brought these children into, Anne Kettenbrink: Be careful what you wish for Poor Nadya Suleman. She has 14 kids, all younger than 8. Wow. Chances are, you’ve heard her story unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past week, but just in case you just crawled out from under a rock, I’ll rehash it. On Jan. 26, Suleman gave birth to octuplets. This in itself is a rare feat, and the fact that all eight babies are still alive and seemingly doing OK is exceptionally rare. At first, Suleman didn’t want her identity revealed. Who can blame her, after the embarrassing details that followed initial reports? According to The Associated Press, 33-year-old Suleman had six children...
