I don’t know if HJ will be this way, but with George when it’s cold he gets his business done very fast and doesn’t fool around. He’s never seen snow though. I wonder if the snow will scare HJ and she will want to stay inside and poop. 🙂
Morning everyone!!!! 61 degrees here after having ice on the car windows yesterday am. I wish the dang weather would make up it’s mind. It is suppsoe to be in the low 70’s today and low 80’s tomorrow.
Heh. It’a amazing what a full night’s sleep will do for me.
We went to art class, hung out in my favorite little Main Line town, down to some impeachment thing in Philly, and to see Borat (which was hilarious, even if a little gross). And then yesterday inclued a trip to Home Depot, mountains of laundry, a smart-mouthed teenager, and my personal favorite (not): grocery shopping with the weekend warrior hordes.
Resale shops, visiting with college boy for 3 minutes before he went windsurfing with his friends for the weekend, yardwork, dog park, shoe shopping. Not half as satisfying as yours.
I think mouthy might be an understatement. Defiant, rude and obnoxious are probably closer to the mark. Usually followed by contrite and apologetic, only to return to obnoxious later. And over the dumbest, most inconsequential stuff.
Good luck with that. Obviously most teenagers go through that borderline schizo personality because of hormones and testing their boundaries. If you feel like it’s more than that I’d trust my instincts and maybe have him talk to someone. I’ve actually bugged kidspeak with questions about one of the Nature Boys. 🙂
I am wondering if maybe it’s a little over the top, even for hormones. I don’t know. Here’s an example:
Last night, He had a bottle of Elmer’s glue in the bathroom (he was unclogging the cap in the sink), and he left it in there, open, where it fell on the floor. When I asked him to clean it up, I got a lot of carrying on, mocking me in a singsong voice, and flapping around. Then he picked up the bottle, left the drops of spilled glue on the floor, and just chucked the bottle onto a table in the family room (hard enough for it to create a secon, larger glue spill on the floor). Then we go through the whole mocking smartmouth thing again while I get him to clean up the that spill. By then, I’ve seen that he didn’t wipe up the glue in the bathroom, so we go another round on cleaning that up. Then, when I’ve lost my patience and hollered at him and told him to go to bed, I get yet another dose of it. SO something that should have been a 2-minute clean-up wound up stretching into 10-15 minutes of arguing and carrying on.
He’s already grounded till December 1st and lost his cell phone until further notice. Nothing seems to be much of a deterrent to him.
Sounds like you need a Calgon moment. Or something much stronger. 🙂
I guess he’s hoping you’ll realize that it’s much easier to do it yourself than to go through all of that – and I’ll bet that’s what a lot of parents would do. I wouldn’t but that’s just me and I never really went through anything approaching that level of disrespect. Just laziness and some grouchiness. Hopefully you’ll look back on this as just a phase that you can laugh about when he’s…..30? :/
nose is a deterrent in this house this week. “Gee look, mom’s all jacked up and couldn’t find her ass with both hands even if she wanted to because it sort of looks like she is trying to and she’s only grabbing handfuls of air.” “Hurry, let’s “borrow” all of her earrings that she always says NO to borrowing in the past and if you lose any of them only lose one of each set :)”
and well today also basking in the warm glow of the election results. I hope this finds you equally as well and that the election results induce many pleasant sensations within you as well. My one complaint is that there is this really odd nagging feeling that somehow it is all going to be taken away. It’s stupid. I’m not the paranoid type. I think it comes from six long years of witnessing something new happen daily that was infringing on our rights and creating hatred, racism, torture, and a bloodbath that was called “Stay the Course”. After all of that it is just a little bit hard to take in that we won the House and we won the Senate and we aren’t under that powerlock rubberstamp strangle hold we have all labored to breathe under. There is this nagging thing inside me saying that we have accomplished nothing and tomorrow when we wake up it will be back to living in hellhole America, home of the 99 cent terrorist alert color code.
What`s up dada, here`s the test.
The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so “profound” that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Here is the professor’s “Bonus Question”: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their belief using Boyle’s Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let’s look at the different Religions that exist in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, “it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you”, and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct…leaving only Heaven . . . thereby proving the existence of a divine being . . . which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting “Oh my God.”
Yup DR. John, that brought back some old memories from the sixties, no less. It seems the dog screwed the pooch on that one. I like the kind of razor he got.
I hadn`t heard this one before. A good one. How do you put a music link in?
The “Dr. John before the link shortens the display and saves the margin…kinda like thumbnails…which, BTW, when you post IShack thumbs…Please take the ads out of the link…they crash my browser every time…either that or use PhotoBucket…:{)
What normal person gets up at 5:00 AM?
I’ll let the geezer queen answer that. 🙂
Normal is not something to aspire to, it’s something to get away from.
–Jodie Foster
Bush to meet with Baker Commission today!!!! We’re saved! SAVED I tell you!
Hah. You are funny this morning.
Good morning Andi and LC.
It’s kind of cold down here today. We’re at 31 F right now.
Weird – it’s 50 here. Morning old man.
Morning, woman who stands in rain and watches dog poop. 🙂
I just saw where we went down another degree. If we’re getting it now, it’s on its way to you.
My life has devolved to the point where I indeed watch the dog relieve herself in the dark and cold and rain and soon, maybe snow.
All of my bookmarks on the firefox toolbar disappeared. Where are they? :/
I don’t know if HJ will be this way, but with George when it’s cold he gets his business done very fast and doesn’t fool around. He’s never seen snow though. I wonder if the snow will scare HJ and she will want to stay inside and poop. 🙂
Hit refresh and see if they come back.
Nope, refresh doesn’t work and I can’t do it using toolbar manager either. Maybe a restart.
What do you get when you have 32 rednecks in a room?
One of my family get togethers?
LOL!
A full set of teeth.
And I got my bookmarks back.
As I said, one of my family get togethers. 😛
How did you get your bookmarks back?
Ok, first off, I’m not that bright so don’t make fun of me.
It was under ‘view’ and ‘show bookmarks toolbar’. Duh.
Common mistake. I’ve done that before. If you hit control B, it will hide them and bring them back.
Ah, the slacker way of doing it. I bow to the master.
What’s life but looking for short cuts. 🙂
Morning everyone!!!! 61 degrees here after having ice on the car windows yesterday am. I wish the dang weather would make up it’s mind. It is suppsoe to be in the low 70’s today and low 80’s tomorrow.
Prime flu weather. Morning RF.
A belated happy birthday to you, Refi! I hope you had a wonderful day, and that you’re feeling better.
Thank you CabinGirl!!! Yesterday was fun with all the fuss being made over me here at the cafe.
WHen you live so far away from your mama, your friends have to take over with the birthday gushing.
I hope you had a great day! Happy day after your Birthday, RF! 🙂
Morning Refinish. How are you feeling today?
We’re supposed to stay in the 50’s and 60’s for highs.
Our high is supposed to be 60 today. Good walking/running weather.
Yesterday was typical November weather: Chilly, rainy, gray.
Yesterday here was pretty nice. High 60’s and sunny.
Hi everybody! Did you all have a good weekend?
You seem unnaturally chipper this morning. What did you do this weekend?
Heh. It’a amazing what a full night’s sleep will do for me.
We went to art class, hung out in my favorite little Main Line town, down to some impeachment thing in Philly, and to see Borat (which was hilarious, even if a little gross).

CBtE still being mouthy, huh?
I think mouthy might be an understatement. Defiant, rude and obnoxious are probably closer to the mark. Usually followed by contrite and apologetic, only to return to obnoxious later. And over the dumbest, most inconsequential stuff.
I don’t know what to do.

I stick to my guns, hoping he’ll realize that I’m not letting him get away with it, but it’s exhausting.
Right now I’m thinking I might able to look back on this and laugh when he’s at Outward Bound or military school. :/

and find her ass in the FBC which makes me very happy.
How are you doing?

All is well here. I hope your surgery was not too serious and you are enjoying some very nice drugs.
I do share your sense of disquiet — I worry that many dems in congress will buy into the spin that this election was a mandate to move to the right.
Did everybody wake up in full chatty mode?
Yep and we’ve just been waiting on you. 🙂
while waiting for me … to do what? Tell you all to pipe down because people are trying to sleep?
Of course not. So we can hear words of wisdom. Taking those aren’t forthcoming, a sly remark will do. 🙂
It’s too damn early for either wisdom or slyness — you’ll just have to settle for snotty which I can do in my sleep.
I can live with that.
I’m trying to decide between making breakfast or taking a nap.
Nap won.
See ya later.
FAmily Man brought up poop first, and it was downhill from there.
That’s the best way for poop to go. 🙂
Unless you live downhill.
That’s what they make those high rubber boots for.
Downhill first thing in the morning is good, regardless of the cause — most of my morning are the decidedly uphill kind.
Good morning, oh queen of the backyard latrine.
Queen of the latrine has a certain ring to it.
I’ve got tons of work to do this week and a report due on Friday and I’ve been putting it off until the last possible moment. Ick.
yeah it does but we won’t say what kind.
Giddy says I need to stop talking and start walking.
Later.
Oh, right, work. That’s what I’m supposed to be doing this week. 🙂
You know I am always chatty. LOL Morning Miss Andi!!!
Well you’re excused on the grounds of natural exuberance. But that doesn’t explain everybody else.

Good afternoon all. The rain has apparently stopped here but work sucked today, and I’m still exhausted after all my weekend tasks. /whining
