Deep Observations...by Me on Human Nature

You've no doubt experienced this situation first hand:

You're telling someone about something, and they 'one up you'.
It's human nature - they just can't help themselves. I'll come clean and admit I've done it myself, although I really try to bite my tongue.

'Bite your tongue??? Well I remember the time when somthing WAY worse happened to me let me tell you'.....and then they proceed to tell you.

'Twisted your ankle you say??? Well, I remember once when I broke my leg'....

You get the idea.

'Traffic??? Ha, you don't know traffic'....hmm, apparently not.

Next week I am getting my wisdom teeth out - my impacted wisdom teeth that is.
'Wisdom teeth you say???? Weeeelllll, I remember the time when I got MY wisdom teeth out'....and then they proceed to go into the horror of it in phenomenal detail. Seriously. Graphically.

So now my preoccupation is with whether I'm going to have something called 'drysockets', or 'excessive whatever' and 'adequate anaesthesia'....

Ignorance is bliss - I can now say that I am not ignorant!!!

'Doc, make sure you have enough knock out drugs okay?'
'Knock out drugs???? WEEeeeellll, I can tell you about the time when I didn't have enough for the patient I was working on.....'

Oy.

Lunar Loony

• Fly me to the moon and let me sing amongst the stars

• Au Clair de la Lune, mon ami Pierot....
  


• Say it's only a paper moon, sailing over a cardboard sea, but it wouldn't be make believe if you believed in me...
  


• Blue Moon (blue moon blue moon) I saw you standing alone (blue moon blue moon)
  


• It don't matter to the moon, if you walk out my life - Cause the moon will keep hangin round, hangin round - to shine down on another nite...

...I'm sure you could probably think of one or two songs that are about the moon - The lunar eclipse on Wednesday, February 20th, 2008 was really quite spectacular. I wish I knew how to operate my camera a little better to get night shots - that and perhaps a tripod. I believe the speck on the left is Saturn and the spec at the top is Regulus...

What can I say?....I'm a lunar lover.

Holddd ittt....Hooooollllddddd ittttttt!!!!

Usually you wait to go to the bathroom during the commercials...however, when it comes to Superbowl, you just can't miss the commercials cause most times it's the best part of the whole day!!
There were alot of good commercials this year, and I always wait to see the Clydes that Budweiser has. They did not disappoint. Here's my pic for commercial.

...and here's the one for Bud Light!....you guys sure get your money's worth out of your ad agents.

You've Come a Long Way Baby!

An Actual 1955 Good Housekeeping article.




I could never have been a woman in the 50's....




"Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction."

"Minimise all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet."

"Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first – remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours."

"Don’t ask him questions about his actions or question his judgement or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him."

"A good wife always knows her place."

I'd make my own comments, but I'm trying to work on being 'more diplomatic' these days...LOL
Thanks Danie for helping me to configure the article.

You Know It's Cold When....

You know it's cold when -


Check out the Canadian Weather Network


Today it is -30C, which to those who use the Fahrenheit system, equates to
-24F...factor in the windchill which is sitting at -45C, and yup - it's freakin' cold here today.

We woke up not being able to start the truck...good luck trying to reach AMA.

Surprisingly, schools were still open, although Paden gets to stay home today since we're 'sans' vehicle....

You know it's cold when your car won't start.

You know it's cold when the cars that do start are left running...all day long!

You know it's cold when you walk outside and when you inhale, your nostrils stick together.

You know it's cold when you get an instant ice cream headache, without the benefit of having ice cream.

You know it's cold when your latte turns into ice cream...(wish I had one of those right now)

You know it's cold when you don't see anyone out walking their dog.

You know it's cold when you see the dog stuck to the hydrant....hahahahaha.

You know it's cold when even the snowmen are shivering.
