Stressed? Who Me?

There are many options out there for posts, but instead... I'm going to give you some quotes from one of my favorite writers... Isaac Asimov:

"If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them. " -- Isaac Asimov

"Nothing interferes with my concentration. You could put on an orgy in my office and I wouldn't look up. Well, maybe once." --Isaac Asimov

"To insult someone we call him "bestial." For deliberate cruelty and nature, "human" might be the greater insult. " --Isaac Asimov

There are a lot of things going on in my life right now. Nothing worth writing about, but enough to drive me crazy and make me "human". For the next couple of days, you will get some odd posts. Yes, I will post about my kids. But occassionally you will get quotes, quizzes or anything odd thing that pops into my mind. I also might take a couple of days off and go visit my sister and in-laws in Orlando. She is down for the week. Who knows? Not me. But if I do visit her, I'm sure I will have great blog fodder... Tink, Pan, and their granddaughter... me, hubby and my two boys. Oh yaa. It could be interesting.

Sing?

I received this humor in an email:

Ole bought Lena a piano for her birthday. A few weeks later, Lars inquired how she was doing with it. "Oh," said Ole, "I persuaded her to svitch to a clarinet." "How come," asked Lars? "Vell," Ole answered, "because vith a clarinet she can't sing."

and the first that came to my mind was: "Did my mom want me to play the clarinet so I couldn't sing while playing music?". If you have ever heard me sing, you would completely understand that statement. I use to be able to play a clarinet, read music and even play a few songs on the piano... but sing? Most everyone will ask me to stop... even my own child, Tater... and he's only THREE. GRIN

Tot to the Rescue

Our poor Happy Dog has to put up with two boys. At least Tot tries to come to the rescue and give him some water...

I don't think it is exactly how Happy Dog likes to drink his water, but it is the thought that counts - right? GRIN

It Had To Happen Sometime

I am #11 for Monkey Butt Sniffing Finger. Give me a Break! I guess I should be happy I wasn't #1. I will blame this on GuyK. He just had to put something in my comments on Butt Sniffing. GRIN. Yaa, I bet I move up in the ranks now that I have this post.

Slot Machine? Piggy Bank?

Help!!! Seriously, I need some help. Tot decided to use the car DVD player as a slot machine. Or piggy bank. Tater showed him how to open the ash tray... which in my car is full of change. Tot then proceeded to see how many coins he would put in the DVD player before Mom noticed. I don't know if it is 2 or more coins. But no matter... I need a way to get them out. The little turd.

Any ideas?

What Is It?

What is it? A dinosaur or a dragon? It depends on what goes on in Tater's mind. First it was dragons. The next time it was a pair of dinosaurs. Either way... cute picture:

And here is something he colored. He wouldn't tell me what this was:

Hat Tip to CalTechGirl's Mom for the humor today.

Getting Married

There were three gals who were getting married and all met at the marriage counselor's office to discuss the options of having or not having a baby right away. There were two city gals and one farm gal.

The counselor asked them if they planned on having a baby right away or were going to wait awhile. They all agreed that they had discussed this with their potential husbands and all agreed to wait awhile.

Well the counselor asked the first gal what type of birth control she planned to use. Her answer was, the rhythm method. That will work said the counselor if you keep a good record.

He asked the second gal what system she planned on using. I plan on using birth control pills she said. Again he said, yes that will work as long as you don't forget to take them.

He then asked the farm girl what system she was planning on using. Her
answer was , The pail and saucer, method. After a short delay, he again told her that should also work.

He asked them all to come back in one year on a specific date for a
follow up on how things were going.

They all met again one year later and the two city gals were pregnant.

Only the farm gal was slim and trim yet.

Well the counselor asked the first gal what method she used and what went wrong. She replied that she used the rhythm method but somehow got her notes mixed up and, well here I am, going to have a baby.

He asked the second city gal what method she used and she replied,the birth control pill but we were camping one weekend and I didn't have my pills with me and as you can see, I too am going to have a baby.

He turns to the farm gal and told her that I vaguely remember you were
going to use the pail and saucer method. Now I must admit that I don't have a clue what the pail and saucer method is. Will you explain it to me as I see it has worked well for you.

She replied, Well we make love standing up, and since I am quite a bit
taller than my husband, he stands on a pail turned upside down. Now as we are making love, I watch his eyes, and when his eyes get as big as saucers, I kick the pail out from under him.

Loan story

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.


"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday." Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.

Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.

The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant,
about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.

Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.


She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral."

She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"

(you're gonna love this)

(wait for it)






The bank manager looks back at her and says...

"It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a
Rolling Stone."

(You're singing it, aren't you? Yeah, I know you are........)

Never take life too seriously! Come on now, you grinned, I know you
did!!!
