KISS - Family Jewels

I'm a KISS fan, so is the husband. We saw them... THEM, the original 4, when they first went back into makeup. Our best friends & us went to the concert in 1997. Thats a whole 'nother blog post - cool concert. We got within feet from the band.

So it's only right that we watch Gene Simmon's reality tv show. I'm not a big reality tv show watcher because, well... it's scripted. I don't care how many times you tell me it isn't, it is. Plus you are watching, what? 20 minutes of out of their weekly lives? (gotta take 10 minutes for commercial breaks, ya know!) You can't know someone's personality or personal habits by looking into 20 minutes of their weekly life. Even 20 minutes a day would be difficult to really learn someone!

But still... I watch. I love Gene and I love Shannon Tweed. Like my husband, I have a thing for her. She's hot, it's not like it's not well known information or anything.

So last week is the whole thing about Gene taking the lie detector test - I think this is going to change the opinions of many people once we find out the results. If he hasn't been with that many women - men aren't going to worship him anymore as some type of sex god. If he's has been... people like me are going to be pissed off at him for doing that to Shannon.

Either you are on Team Tweed or Team Simmons - just like the shirts Shannon found on the show. Now after the show I searched for those t-shirts and couldn't find them to save my life! But now, they are findable, thanks to me.

and more....

On The Pot For 2 Years! - Insanity Cafe

On The Pot For 2 Years! - Insanity Cafe: "Authorities are considering charges in the bizarre case of a woman who sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years — so long that her body was stuck to the seat by the time the boyfriend finally called police.

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital.

'We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital,' Whipple said. 'The hospital removed it.'

Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman's 36-year-old boyfriend.

'She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body,' Whipple said. 'It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself.'

He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.

'And her reply would be, `Maybe tomorrow,'' Whipple said. 'According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom.'"

All I have to say about this whole thing is .... pay attention to the sheriff's name!

wcco.com - 8th-Grader Suspended For Candy In Conn. School

wcco.com - 8th-Grader Suspended For Candy In Conn. School: "8th-Grader Suspended For Candy In Conn. School
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) ― Contraband candy has led to big trouble for an eighth-grade honors student in Connecticut.

Michael Sheridan was stripped of his title as class vice president, barred from attending an honors student dinner and suspended for a day after buying a bag of Skittles from a classmate.

School spokeswoman Catherine Sullivan-DeCarlo says the New Haven school system banned candy sales in 2003 as part of a districtwide school wellness policy.

Michael's suspension has been reduced from three days to one, but he has not been reinstated as class vice president.

He says he didn't realize his candy purchase was against the rules, but he did notice the student selling the Skittles on Feb. 26 was being secretive."

WTF? I don't even really know what to say. Zero tolerance is one thing, but come on, people!

Hockey, school stuff, time change and smoking

Hockey : Insanity Wear : CafePress.com


Thats what I'm working on today. Not sure whats up with the hockey, though. We are not hockey fans... don't know anyone who is, actually. My sister just made a comment to me this past weekend that I have a whole bunch of sports stuff, but no hockey. Ok, well now I do.

Had to run a forgotten project to school bright and early this morning for Demon #1.

Speaking of bright & early. How was it getting out of bed for you today? Good God... I wanted to hurt something this morning. Usually I'm a morning person, but my body gets on such a schedule that this time change crap throws it into a tailspin and kicks it. And the demons - I should have said a short prayer before I attempted to wake them up this morning.

I know I haven't updated my smoking process... or no smoking process, that is. I'm on Day #52. It hasn't gotten any easier and I'm always wanting a cigarette, but I haven't had one.

Still have that opened pack in my purse though!

Stupid Friggin Onions

I have the worst body chemistry when it comes to perfumes and such. Within an hour or so you can't smell them on my anymore... but let me cut up a fricken onion and I can smell the damn thing on my hands for DAYS!
I washed my hands after cutting it up last night.. washed them this morning before I put my contacts in, plus I took a shower - today is shampoo day, so I shampooed and conditioned my hair... plus cleaned up the body parts with soap. You would think after all that I wouldn't be able to smell the onion, right?
Nooooooo. Onions are the ONLY thing that stays on my skin!!!

I love onions, but I hate the smell of it on my hands.

Vick's dogs getting second chance - Yahoo! News

Vick's dogs getting second chance - Yahoo! News:
"Shadow is still frightened of strangers.

Layla continues to bristle at the sight of another dog.

Little Red is friendly, but very wary of strangers and takes a while to trust people. Handlers believe she was used as a bait dog, her teeth filed to nubs so she wouldn't fight back when other dogs were trained to attack her.

Georgia's teeth were pulled out altogether, probably to keep her from attacking while she was bred.

Lucas, a heavily scarred male, is one of the friendliest. He loves visitors and jumps on his doghouse in anticipation when somebody starts to open his kennel gate. Lucas' tail wags like a propeller as he prepares to greet whomever with a big wet lick to the face.

'Most of these guys, we couldn't go near at first,' said trainer John Garcia, who was part of the team that evaluated the dogs in Virginia before they were sent to the various groups. 'They were so shy and so down and scared. Now they're just loving on us, coming up for attention — just very, very outgoing.'

As friendly as he is, Lucas is one of the dogs that will never be up for adoption because of his violent past. "

I would have figured that all of the dogs would have been put down. It's amazing to me that Lucas is a vetern fighter - probably one of the best from the sounds of his scars - but yet he's the most friendliest. It's sad that he can't be adopted out.

Read this story and then come back and tell me why it's the dogs' fault they have the rap they do... people are the ones that did this to them, not themselves. Humans are to blame for this reputation pit bulls have.

I get so angry when I hear about this BSL crap. Ok, nothing is said about BSL in this article, but still... I know what people are thinking.

Yes, certain breeds have certain traits, but I just cannot believe that any dog is born bad. They are made that way with chains, lack of human contact, lack of socialization skills, lack of proper training, exercise, love and respect. To me it's like saying if Jeffery Dahmer would have had children they would have eventually had a taste for human flesh. Seriously, how dumb does that sound? About as dumb as every Pit Bull in the world being mean.

I've heard rumors about a possible nationwide ban of 5 different breeds. Pits & Rotties would be on that list I'm sure. Chows and Akita's I think, too. Not sure about the 5th - wolf hybrids?

I'd like someone to take DocJim's dog away from him......

Anyway. Doesn't matter. Answer me one thing... if a nationwide ban would go into place, what would happen to all of the current dogs that are alive? Do they have to be put down? Does that also include the therapy dogs that just happen to be one of those breeds? What about the rottweilers that have been trained as seeing eye dogs; do they need to be killed also?

Can you find the kitty-face?
Upside-down kitty-face!

Should we pounce on the kitty or just sit here and look at it?

I think I'll just sit here... it's naptime anyway.

Mom, what do you do all day?

Funny how kids think the floors just stay clean....

This is what happens when you see the camera sitting on the table when you are waiting for the floor to dry.

Ooops... I see I missed a spot.

Someone got bored today

The snowy kitty had to go bye-bye. I am sick of snow and I no longer want to advertise for it. I want green grass, colorful flowers and warm air. So now we are going to look at green leaves for awhile!

I was talking to the husband last night about "spring clean up" out at the lake. I can't wait for summer vacation when the girls & I can head out there and spend day after day after day....

Did I just say I can't wait for summer vacation?

I've gone mad.

10 Worst Baby Names of 2007 - MSN Lifestyle - Family & Parenting

10 Worst Baby Names of 2007 - MSN Lifestyle - Family & Parenting: "10 Worst Baby Names of 2007
What were these parents thinking?

People like to get creative when it comes to selecting the perfect name for their new arrivals. But in the quest to be unique, some kids get stuck with monikers that do more than make them stand out in a crowd. Here's The Nest Baby's picks for the most questionable choices from the past year.
From The Nest Baby

Ptolemy: The only other one we know of is an ancient Greek astronomer, mathematician, and man extraordinaire. Actress Gretchen Mol reached a little too far back in history for this Mediterranean-inspired choice. No one will be able to pronounce it, and what happens when the kid studies his namesake in school?

Magnus: Sounds too much like a prophylactic, volcanic matter, or a dated albeit then-popular Tom Selleck TV drama. Comic Kevin Nealon must be playing a joke on all of us with this choice.

E-: E...what? You'd think if you had to name your kid after a letter, Jay would be much better than this one, which was selected by parents in Washington. And while we're (grudgingly) willing to accept the use of apostrophes in baby names, we can't say the same for the hyphen. At least not when there isn't any more name to follow it.

Story: Actress Jenna Elfman's pick. It just doesn't make sense and certainly won't start a literary trend. Article, Essay, or Narrative, anyone? Every baby has a tale to tell, just not this way.

Ever: This is an adverb, not even an adjective or a noun, which do okay as names if you're in a pinch. It's going to get confusing when actress mom Milla Jovovich scolds the kid, "Ever, don't ever do that again!"

Heaven Rain: The only good news here: Brooke Burke's two older daughters are named Neriah and Sierra Sky. Though little Heaven's got a pretty lofty title to live up to, she'll fit right in at home.

Alabama: The trend of naming kids after locations obviously appealed to actress Drea De Matteo, but she's not even from the Southern state. We do hope she's going to be called Allie for short and turns out to be good at geography.

Princess: Every little girl is a princess to her parents, but it's a secret nickname. It's also a good name for a little fluffy white dog. Prince pulls off the male version because he's a rock star, but this baby, daughter of model Jordan, is set to be spoiled. (Don't get us started on Tiaamii, her middle name,...)

Evan: Don't go ballistic: Evan is a great name...for a boy. We know many wonderful Evans. But in this case, Napoleon Dynamite star Jon Heder bestowed it on his baby girl. Sorry, it's so not unisex.

Superman: No explanation necessary for why this New Zealand name made the list, but how about the story behind it? The parents' first choice was 4Real (as in, "when we saw him on the ultrasound, we realized he was for real"), but government officials didn't go for it. Mom and dad settled on Superman but insist they'll still refer to him as 4Real. Way to get the last word in.

I hope any of you who named your child one of these choices is offended that I posted this....
