This explains so much (hmmm, yes..pun intended)


So many years of questions and there you go, the reason I was always told to shut up during mass.

As a math teacher in training, this made me laugh so hard. Then it kind of makes me want to cry............then I laugh some more. Technically they did find the location of the elusive x.

Logic and Reason

When did these things go out of style?
These days there is so much debate about whether simple scientific facts exist. People find it easier to believe that people came from the dirt and woman was first made from a man's rib than to accept that people have been evolving for thousands of years. The evidence is right in front of us...actually all we really need for evidence is us. We have vestigial organs in our bodies and wisdom teeth that no longer serve a purpose. We don't look like the people of the past. We are in fact primates, we have a 3% difference with chimps in our DNA.
I much prefer to think reasonably. Religion has become a building block for trouble. It's a way to promote the personal vendetta. Why should religious leaders be able to control what I do with myself? There is a huge difference between abortion and smoking. Smoking sections are like having a peeing section in a pool. It makes no difference, it will still spread everywhere anyways. Abortions do not affect other people. I can't stand all the religious reasons of why my position is so "evil." Just because it has a beating heart does not mean it is a human being. Every animal has a beating heart but they are not human. A human fetus has more in common with a ferret in the first trimester. It is only after that that the fetus becomes more functional. The first trimester is the only one that abortions occur in UNLESS it will cause huge trouble for the mother. Any doctor will first strive to save the life of the mother, that is just the facts.

I have recently seen way too much crap about the supposed "Holocaust conspiracy." How on earth people can insist that something with so much evidence to back it up is false, a complete piece of flaming crap. Never mind the testimonials of survivors, the thousands of pictures, and the buildings left over. Never mind the disturbing loss of Jewish life all over Europe and the exodus of Jewish people into America. Screw all the evidence in the world and just assume that everyone else is part of the "conspiracy."
By the way....don't even bother thinking about Hitler's hatred of his mother's people. Don't think about the fact that he had a whole plan to get the Jewish population out of the way or the wide spread anti-Semitism that made people not question it.
People like that make me sick to my stomache and I rather hope that they have a If I Should Die Before I Wake moment.

FYI

FYI...glue is toxic to dogs.
I was talking to my sister today and she told me about how our dad poisoned her dog. So, Pixie (the dog) has this squeky toy and this toy is her favorite thing to play with beyond her people. My dad hates this toy and apparently decided to put it out of commission... with glue. Of course Pixie finds her toy and decides to show him who's boss and goes at it with gusto.
My sister was woken up at 2am this morning to the dog practically heaving out the contents of her entire body. Eventually she gets the dog ok and all the water Pixie can drink and it's back to bed.
This dog is freaking invinsible. She's eaten all sorts of things that should NEVER be ingested by a dog...you'd think she has a death wish. She however seems to take a new lease on life after each episode of insanity.

Valentine's Day :/

Today is Valentine's Day...urg. All month, the shelves of the grocery stores have been stocked with more red and pink covered boxes and chocolates than I could possibly count. The flower shops are stocked to the brim with roses. Men are running amuck trying to find the perfect way to express their love and devotion to their sweety.
I can't stand this day, it only exists to bolster the already deep pockets of the greeting card and candy companies. It makes perfectly sane (well maybe) people into quivering piles of mush. It gives people an excuse to not show real affection in leiu of a day made just for that purpose.
My family kind of sent me a valentine. Of course it's an awesome card that reminded them of me (it's a picture of the Eifle tower at night and it looks like fireworks are going off....ah the power of technologically advanced cards) and a gift card to Starbucks.
I'd say that's better than some teddy bear who would end up as a victim of "under-the-bed syndrome."

I desperately want to get a dog. The problem? I still live on my college campus, they don't allow furry companions. Total meanies if you ask me. I really want to get a corgi, they are so adorable and fluffy. My sister has a dog who is about 40 something pounds and has delusions that she's a lap dog. I truly fear for my legs when I go home. I guess she really fits in with the general craziness of our family. They only have themselves to blame when she goes all medeival on them. After all, the people at the shelter had huge smiles on their faces when she left. I suspect that they were thinking only one word, "suckers!!!!!"
I really think that it's great that they spay dogs before you take them home but sometimes I think that maybe they do it too early. Some of them seem to think that they have use for certain, hem hem, urges. Use your imagination on this one.
I'm watching Enchanted and I love the little chipmunk in it. That one scene when he's trying to act out Giselle eating the poison apple is pure genius. It's my favorite part, in part because the reenactments never fail to please.
