things and happenings

why do people have their gps device permanently attached to their front windows?  can they not remember how to get home from the grocery store?  do they want to know their exact location at all times?

we have a gps but only use it when we don’t know where we are going.  it came with that attachment device but i saw no need to have it on at all times.

is there an undiscovered gps function that requires that you leave it permanently mounted?

(i wrote this a long time ago before my ipod stopped working) i found some new podcasts and can i just tell you that i love new and obscure podcasts?  seriously, it’s right up there with finding money.

i found medical podcasts, i can listen to doctors giving lectures on subjects like PROSTATE problems.  did you know the source of prostrate issues is a hormonal imbalance?  yes, MEN have hormonal imbalances.

i told the husband that after listening to that lecture, i am prepared to give him a prostate exam if he needs for me to.

i like my son’s teacher this year, i think she’s learned that rather than sugar coat something, she just gets right to it.  sarcasm aside, i really do appreciate when a person is direct.  i bolded the funny.

Book-It reading logs  will be sent home tomorrow. It looks like a calendar. Please initial each day your child reads 15+ minutes.

At the end of the month, the students who meet their goals get a coupon for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut. It would be great if you could listen to your child for 5 of those minutes. It’s a great way to hear how he or she is doing.

you know that video i’ve been talking about?  the one i am making for quicken loans? do you know how much footage i’ve created?  A SHIT TON.

am i having extremely high anxiety over something that really is NOT EVEN A BIG DEAL?  yes, i am having anxiety about it.  who knew i had a fracking phobia of a VIDEO CAMERA starring ME?

i know i seem like an obnoxious narcissist but maybe i’m not.  maybe in the person i’m shy.  maybe shy is too strong of a word.

maybe i’m just taking it entirely too seriously, i mean if i’m going to fret over something that doesn’t involve money or employment doesn’t that PROVE what a dedicated person i am?  or does it just confirm my crazy?

lastly, after the morning drop off and dog run today, i went to copperhead island to take some pictures and then the grocery store (dogs were with me).  as i was unloading the truck sampson jumped back in and got comfortable in the front seat.

he remained there for six hours, despite the all day raining that occurred.

i checked on him at least once an hour and he was just sleeping away.  finally about 4pm he came knocking at the front the door.

    They still do Book-It? Sweet!

    I am always on the lookout for great new podcasts, unfortunately I get tired of most of them pretty quickly. There is only two that I listen to each week: The Totally Rad Show, and the D6 Generation. Both about nerdy stuff, both have great hosts.

    This post is all good.

    Prostate stimulation can enhance orgasm greatly. But do not confuse it with prostrate as you did in that one sentence. Lying prone is different.

    Listen to your children is a good thing. I am sure it will deflect at least one character defect for them later in life.

    What about the word quicken makes you think it is something other than a short amount of time?

    That pic of Sampson is presh. Still not sure why there is a ‘p’ in Sampson.

      i HAVE heard about the prostate stimulation.

      luke is the one who decided on sampson’s name and the spelling, which he later denied stating that there should not be a P in it so he’s bothered by that too :) .

    Sampson is English in origin from a biblical name Shimshon, itself Hebrew. The name is most usually associated with Sampson, the Jewish athlete famous for his tremendous strength. According to the book of the Bible, Judges, his mistress Delilah learned that the secret of his strength was his hair and she weakened him by cutting it. Despite this, the Bible speaks of his ability to pull down two temple pillars he was tied to, causing them to crash down, kill him and make a mess.

    • leah Says:

      something in your findings pleases you doesn’t it? the whole being able to pull down pillars, due to our sampson being exactly that strong too. you are such a boy :)
