Done for now

I'm done blogging-for now. I feel chained to my e-mail, my blog & and all things computer. I don't like it, I'm considering getting rid of my cell phone or going to emergency only usage. My life was much more peaceful and serene without all the noise. When I was first married, we went for almost a year without cable & Internet. I slept a lot better. I may check in from time to time but not anytime soon. Have a good one.

Nature vs Nurture

For all you sensitive people, I am going to be using some clinical words, so just cover your eyes. Yesterday, on my way to take my 5 year old to the store, my son said Girls (wait for it.....) don't have a penis, they have a vagina. I said yes that's right. I was hoping the conversation would end there but it did not. He continued on with the v-jay jay, pondering. Can you see a vagina when your naked, I said yes. Then, he said in his best distraught voice -I'm never going to see a vagina, hey maybe someone will wear a vagina costume at Halloween. My vote goes to nature.

Things I have never been pt 2

I have never been kissed by a little person
I have never kicked a giant in the face
I have never eaten chicken off the bone
I have never been shark bait.
Record-Tying Shark Bite Reported - Orlando News Story - WKMG Orlando: "VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. -- A record-tying shark bite was reported in Volusia County Sunday.

Did you know....?

That ants will consume Tylenol? I do. This morning after putting the little guy down for a nap, I went to the kitchen and there on the counter was a bottle of grape flavored Tylenol (on its side) covered by little busy ants. Instead of grabbing for the bug spray and cleaner, I just watched. I was really surprised that they didn't get bogged down with the goop and even more surprised that Ants get headaches and fever. I'm not sure of the dosage but I'm pretty confident that about 200+ ants will experience some type of liver damage. If cirosis doesn't get them then the Atom bomb I am about to spray on them will.

Running angst and other superior exits

When did superior exits go out of style? This morning I was watching the Waltons (as in good night, John Boy) In this episode, one of the girls ran out of a party to her room. I don't recall ever being so upset that I would run out of a room. I think it would just call attention to a very uncomfortable moment, plus everyone would know you were upset. Then, they would all dialog about the possible reasons you were upset. Perhaps, you weren't upset at all but just like to run from room to room, just think of all the explanations you would have to give. Which would kill your fun as well as slowing the running pace way down. The idea of using running away as a vehicle for emotional expression is not very useful. First, an elevator is out of the question and if you're in a vehicle, you would have to choose your terain and timing very carefully. The slow down would take the edge off the flair and ruin the suprise element plus we all know the dangers of the wild. Consider the creatures of the forest. We would not like them to run through our living room, no matter how mad they were. It's all about mutal respect, my friends. In additon, bears.... they lack empathy and they don't care if your upset. I want to be a part of the solution so I have though of a more productive exit. I suggest that instead of running out of a room, we should just stand and turn circles. It's more attention getting and have you ever tried not laughing while spontaneoulsy spining round and round? Not possible, its a win/ win.
