My last post made me think of all the dumb warning labels out there. The warnings are there because either 1-the company thinks we are really stupid or 2-some really stupid person actually tried this. (some moron somewhere in the US is missing an eye due to a mishap with a 7-up bottle.) The Army is good for this. On the MRE heaters, it says "Do Not Eat Heater" a few years later I noticed that the newer MREs also contained the warning...Do Not Drink the Water. Apparently someone d...
For a perfect example of this in action see here... Link and more here... Link Note: The new law 350-135 does not formally abolish the 35-hour workweek but allows employers to offer staff extra working hours at a higher rate of pay (ie:overtime).
I'm thinking of starting to post a "daily motivation"....If I did, it would be from Dispair.com (my all time favorite gift shop) and one of my favorites.....
So how is it that you are supposed to start a story? Not a cutsy "once apon a time" story, but the, "you had to be there" kind. Oh yeah, I remember. "No shit. There I was..." (Yes, this is that kind of a story) Anyway, so, no shit, there I was, sitting in the outfield of my son's kickball game. I'm hoping to avoid the fire ants while still getting some good shots of his team playing. It's about halfway through the first inning when I hear it. RRRRRIIIIPPPPPPPPP. I carefull...
My son is very good at justifying his opinions. Just the other day, I walked into the living room to see my boy doing a headstand.....while, um, hanging out in the breeze. Yup, that's right. He decided that the best way to do a handstand was sans underwear. Here is the discussion that followed. Scene: Upside down boy with big grin and no sense of modesty whatsoever (probably my fault) "Hi Mommy! Look at me! I'm upside-down!" With eye rolls and a sigh, "Boy, you need to go p...
As an alternative to the "Discourses of a Three Year Old" series, I am starting the Little Boy Logic. I'm very proud of my son and the way he figures things out. He puts a great deal of thought into his choice of words and has recently started trying to use bigger words.."umm, Actually..." is his favorite phrase. While he means well, he doesn't always use words correctly. For example: Last night HW was making dinner and boy watched for a moment, skrunched his face up as he tho...

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the firepower to make the difference.
Boy and I were watching a documentary about Japan, they showed a clip of some brown bears catching some pink salmon. It turned into discussion on how he would catch fish (since his teeth are "too small") *Note to Matt.....boy REALLY wants to go fishing* "Mom, you have to take me fishing. We need a fish stick with a rope on it. The rope has to go "wooop wooop wooop". (He is drawing loops in the air to demonstrate how it is attached to the rod, ahem...fish stick) "Then we need a str...
Scene: Dinner table, Mom and son having conversation. Son, holding up spoonful of soup: "Look mom! I got some meat!" Mom: "It's turkey." Son: "Turkeys are yummy. If we see a real turkey we should kill it....so we can EAT it!" Mom: "Like with a bow and arrow?" Son : "YEAH! We could kill it with bow and arrow....or a MISSILE!" Mom tries not to snort soup out her nose.
Deep thoughts for those who take life too seriously: 1. Save the whales. Collect the whole set. 2. A day without sunshine is like . . . night. 3. On the other hand, you have different fingers. 4. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot. 5. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name. 6. Remember, half the people you know are below average. 7. He who laughs last thinks slowest. 8. Life isn't like a box of chocolates . . . it's more like a jar of jala...
