political HUMOR

In a news conference Deanna Favre announced she will be the starting QB for the Packers this coming Sunday. Deanna asserts that she is qualified to be starting QB because she has spent the past 16 years married to Brett while he played QB for the Packers. During this period of time she became familiar with the definition of a corner blitz, and is now completely comfortable with other terminology of the Packers offense.

A survey of Packers fans shows that 65 % of those polled supported the move.

Does this sounds idiotic and unbelievable to you? Well, Hillary Clinton makes the same claims as to why she is qualified to be President and 50% of democrats polled agreed. She has never run a City, County, or State.

When told Hillary Clinton has experience because she has 8 years in the white house, Dick Morris stated "so has the pastry chef".

25 signs you're getting old

everybody likes a funny! this is a trend I should keep...

1. Your houseplants are alive and you can't smoke any of them.
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
4. 6:00 am is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
5. You hear your favorite song in the elevator.
6. You watch the weather channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break up."
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14 (if you're lucky!).
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."
10. You're the one calling the police because those &%#$ kids next door wont turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payment goes up.
14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
16. You take naps.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings would severley upset, rather than settle, your stomach.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofin and antacids,not condoms and pregnancy tests.
20. A $4 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good shit."
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
22. "I just can't drink like I used to!" replaces " I'm never gonna drink that much again."
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of the computer is for real work.
24. You drink at home to save money before you go to a bar.
25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking "Oh shit - what the hell happened?"
Bonus: 26. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old ass.

to flog an issue...

one comment i've heard about Obama is that he doesn't have enough experience to run the country.

my immediate thought is, that might be a GOOD thing! b/c he hasn't had time to have his back scratched and accept the price involved, and to stop believing change is possible.

on this one i'd love to hear feedback.

"Obama is a Muslim" email

if you've read this email, you probably have some negative thoughts.

now read this: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp

i trust snopes. i don't trust random emails. hope this clears things up!

politics

i have avoided politics my whole life. i don't discuss politics with my family** because for the most part, they believe what they are told, and they have been told that Republicans are good and Democrats will roast your children over their hellfire. i have never affiliated myself with a party because I believe that most politicians, regardless of party, are corrupt.

i watched a YouTube (linked to a campaign email) today that changed my life. because now i want to work to get this man (click the words to view) elected.

i was brought to the point of tears, because he is preaching HOPE. and this is something we terribly need right now. he is telling us we CAN change the world, and that is something i haven't believed in a long time.

with Oprah backing him, he will be our next President. and that is something i am EXCITED about. also something i have not done in a long time.

watch the video and see if you agree with his message; whether you think he CAN fulfill his promises or not, you will agree that he will try, and that's a huge step in the right direction.

we can change the world.

** that should read, SOME of my family, and they ruin it for the rest of us!

working with baby

LaLa is 6.5 months old. she is very focused and determined, from day one. when she yells at me, she does it with EVERY ATOM IN HER BODY. they are ALL telling me how very mad she is.

well, she likes to sit on my lap for short periods while i'm working - i usually just pick her up to make her happy while i wrap things up. and she usually faces the computer with me and watches my fingers and the screen and is happy.

today she's grabby. i have a headset on so i can hear my work. today, she faced me, sitting on my leg, holding herself up straight, and grabbed the wires. just a little at first to see if mom will let me - ooh, she did! wrap it around my fingers, then stick them in my mouth? NOPE - mom took the cord back. how about now? if i put them in my mouth again, will mom take them? yup. how about now? how about if i'm sneaky and use my other hand? how about if i keep doing it really fast so i'm a pest and maybe she'll give up?

now she's put me down and taken all my cords away. now i'm mad!

speaking of which...

who noticed that Prince Charming in Enchanted is the same actor as Scott/Cyclops in X-Men, all 3? i sure didn't! he also plays *Corny Collins* in Hairspray! James Marsden sure gets around - who knew?

mmm-mooovies!

i'm such a retard, i alphabetized my DVD collection last night. was i bored? NO. i'd been meaning to do it for some time though. why? because it was a mess, always overflowing my cupboard, and nobody ever put anything away.

so i put the rated-R and otherwise-inappropriate-for-children movies (can you say Borat?) in a separate area, and also separated out musicals, because they're my greatest comfort-food-for-the-mind; i can see them together and pick one when i need a musical.

then i alphabetized the rest. sequels and series stay together, in order, regardless of title.

my kids love to watch movies. we hardly miss cable. but they had a terrible habit of just slopping the counters up, and things didn't ever get put away. i finally broke them of that with sustained nagging for months on end. now we have a library system; when you take it out, put the card in so you can find where it goes without having to THINK when you're done with it. when you're done with it, PUT IT BACK where you got it!

both sons are very good now about putting things in boxes, but will stack them up until they fall off the shelf.

we have a DVD/VCR player, and #2 son especially will very conscientiously remove the VCR tape from the player and return it to its box (then stack it on the counter if he can possibly balance it) - but he never REWINDS. he's 8, and he hardly knows what rewind means! the days of hitting REWIND after watching a movie were over before he started using the remote.

i feel old. and anal, but that's to be expected.

party pooper

i've spent the last couple of weeks stalking my friends' blogs, wishing they would post, cursing when they don't, wishing i had a real life and not just a cyber-stalker life...

and oh my goodness! look! i haven't posted much in december at all - and it's over! i've been too busy watching videos and visiting with my few real-world friends and posting movie reviews at myfamily.com.

i'll have to post me some movie reviews - i'm sure that would get some reactions! my current fave is HAIRSPRAY! I even went out and bought it last night. i'm so embarrassed - don't hate me b/c i'm in love with Hairspray!
