23  Feb
I’ve been busy

*Chasing a 6 year old who runs around 90 MPH with his hair on fire

*Worrying about my Aunt who it has finally been diagnosed with something that would mean she would eventually starve to death. We’re now waiting for another Doctor’s appt to find out if they can do anything for it.

*Doing every day shit

*Trying to keep the living room mammoth and spider free while waiting for my Uncle to deliver a sofa he’s bringing down for us

*Experimenting with some new recipes from cookbooks I recently bought.

*Transferring around 70 CDs worth of computer crap to DVDs so the next time I have to reinstall shit I don’t have to search through a ton of CDs to find the programs I need

Like I said I’ve been busy….

I could go into great detail but, IMO, this says it all.
Honey, if the peanut farmer is on your side.
You’re on the wrong side.

I’m looking for a recommendation for a larger pencil for a child first starting to write.

All the old farts out there probably remember the big red and green pencils that we were given as children when we first started to learn to write. I’m looking for something comparable that they use with todays kids.

I haven’t been able to find any larger sized pencils locally. I wanted to find some for Joshua and for myself. Easier to hold than the normal sized pencils.

I’ve seen “My First Ticonderogas”, “Laddies”, and “American Jumbos” online.

Any ideas which one is closest to what I’m looking for?

Of course I love Mark Steyn and this piece is great.

Cheering tidbits lighten otherwise grim week

England has got some real problems if you read these articles:

Poll reveals 40pc of Muslims want sharia law in UK

‘The day is coming when British Muslims form a state within a state’

Of course the problem is that the Brits aren’t working hard enough to make the Muslims feel welcome in their society.

God forbid someone speak the truth and say the problem is that the Muslims need to pull their heads out of the medieval past and live in the fucking modern world. If the Brits keep thinking it’s about their sensitivity to Muslim issues they’re in for a really rude awakening one day.

And then there is this from Jihad Watch: Genocide nostalgia in Pakistan

Of course we knew it was going to start this pathetic winter shit days ago. I’d stocked up on what we’d need for a week because this bitch doesn’t drive on ice or snow. (Really nasty experience when I was younger while driving a Trans Am on black ice. Plowed up someone’s yard and then came within 5 inches of getting run into by a guy in a truck. I shook for hours after that!)

I hate snow and ice. I really hate it. I know there are some out there (and yes, I mean you Sara :D), who love snow etc. Oklahomans don’t know how to drive in this shit. It’s like one giant destruction derby when it gets nasty outside. I choose to not participate. Besides if I went outside while it’s 18 degrees I wouldn’t be able to walk for a week. Ugh.

Thankfully Richard is off until Wed at 4 so we can vegetate, tinker with the puters, watch movies, etc. Hell, I may put the both of them to work cleaning something. Bwaahaaahaaa!

From the Jerusalem Post: The nefarious parts we play

After reading this all I can say is that Busey’s attorney is a real piece of work. Freedom of expression my ass. If he just played the part for the paycheck then why use that as an excuse. Of course she’s just like her client… she knows she’ll get a paycheck and doesn’t give a flying rat’s ass how she gets it.

21 freakin degrees and I have to run errands before the weather gets bad tonight. It’s gonna take a handful of tylenol for me to get things done today. Arthritis pain score for today: 15 to 20 on a 10 scale.

Matt at Overtaken at Events had a link to this site where you can upload a picture of yourself and they’ll tell you what celebrities you look like.

I gave it a shot and let me say I’m very glad it didn’t say I looked like Wilford Brimley. The ones it chose as a match for moi:

Those I can understand. It’s all in the eyebrows and shape of the face.

But freakin Conan O’Brian?!?! Ugh.
