Thursday Thunks Version 7.17

She took it over... she stole it... .and I don't care today! LOL

Calling for Help

I am here to cry out for help.

I need a name.

The time has come when InsanityWear T-shirts & Gifts has got to branch out... the fishing section has been evicted from the store. It needs to find it's own home now. It will share some space with the few little camping, duct tape, ATV & hunting designs I have, also. But fishing the theme will be.

But I need a name.

Something catchy (no pun intended....LOL).

Something original.

Something fishy.

I got nothing.

You got an idea? Tell me.

Yeah baby! Which Breed Of Dog Is Most Aggressive?

*snaps her fingers* Yeah baby... TAKE THAT!

sorry... I'm over it now, but you can bet I've got a BIG SMILE on my face!

Citing a study published by Applied Animal Behavior Science, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported that one in five dachshunds has bitten or tried to bite strangers, and one in 12 has shown aggression toward its owners.

Dude! 1 in 5????

Ranking below the dachshund was an even smaller dog, the Chihuahua. According to the newspaper, research found that the tiny breed often snaps at most beings it encounters -- including its owners, strangers and other dogs.

The Jack Russell terrier was third, followed by the Akita and the Australian cattle dog. The pit bull was sixth , followed by the beagle, the English springer spaniel, the border collie and the German shepherd.

The pit bull just 6th? OMG Why oh why isn't it #1???

The Telegraph reported that researchers said previous studies on canine aggression could have been misleading as most bites from smaller dogs were not reported. According to the researchers, bites from larger dogs were more likely to require medical attention than those from smaller dogs.

Thank you! Seriously, more people need to realize this.

According to the Telegraph, the Rottweiler, which is widely believed to be an aggressive dog, scored average to below average ratings for its hostility toward strangers.

The newspaper reported that some of the lowest scoring breeds for aggression included the Basset hound, golden retriever, Labradors, Siberian huskies and greyhounds.

Saki says; "I could have told you that"

Here's the story link

Now how about we take this Breed Specific Legislation bullshit and shove it up someone's ass. Either that or start banning those damn dachshunds.

I have nothing against dachshunds, btw, so don't anyone come running at me with rawhide bones and beat me. I hate these studies usually, but I like this one because it deals with ALL breeds, not just large breeds.

I tell ya what... I am more worried about Chico the killer Pomeranian biting someone than I am Saki. Saki might break a vein in your leg from the whap of her tail, but she won't bite you.

Thursday Rambles

So I dropped $25 on a month of advertising over at MomBloggers for InsanityWear.com (thats my store!). It will be interesting to see if I get any sales... much less hits from it. Maybe I just threw $25 out the window, who knows.

Did a RSS feed of the forums to here today, too. Maybe that will bring someone over. Now you can look over to the right side of this page and see if anything we ramble about interests you - then go there and ramble about it yourself. Then play in the arcade because it's the cool thing to do.

The husband called me at 6:30 this morning, got my ass out of bed... I was comfortable, too... to tell me that the cops were on a manhunt for some dude right outside of town at 4am. Helicopters with search lights and everything. I missed all the excitement. Still haven't heard anything else about it though. Gotta remember, I live in a small town - things like this are like government takeover type news.

I guess I didn't miss all the excitement... I had a dream last night that I got married and then realized... shit, I'm already married! So I was trying to figure out how to get unmarried to the 2nd guy before the cops found out.

... the 2nd guy was Jason. It was so fricken weird. Never did figure out who the 1st husband was. I wonder if it was Mel Gibson?

My feet are being warmed up by a golden furry blanket. I knew she'd be good for something.

Why am I doing this? I really don't know.

Strange Thursday.

Thursday Thunks Version 7.10

Welcome to the 6th week of Thursday Thunks!

This week we will answer:
If you knew that every minute of the next 24 hours of your life would be recorded on camera, is there anything you would NOT do that you normally do everyday?

Remember it's YOUR choice on what to do with this question! You can answer it with text, pictures... whatever! Be creative - think about it.

.... and tell your friends!

I'd spend just a little bit more time cleaning my house... just for the cameras, of course.

I would do some major damage on my bladder, too, because who wants a camera watching you pee? I'd skip my shower, too. Every minute, people! I'd make sure I didn't pick my nose, burp or fart and I wouldn't eat with my mouth open.

Not that I do any of that, I'd just make sure I didn't.

I would do really cool crafts with my demons, take them to the library and a nature walk. For the cameras, of course. I want everyone to think know I'm a wonderful mother. I've always wanted to appear to be one of those snapshot moms - a soccer mom type. I could do the soccer mom thing for a day - just for the cameras, of course.

Blenders... Aisle 3

So we have had this Kitchen Aid blender. Got it quite a few years ago, but it still looks brand new (shows how much I use a blender). When we bought it we went with the "better, more expensive" model because it was supposed to crush ice. It never crushed ice decent. My old cheap blender did a better job (which I can't remember what we had! Grrr).
The other night I was making chocolate peanut butter shakes (did you expect anything different?) and Demon #2 wanted to help. Fine. She wanted to mix it. What excitement that is, I don't know, all you do is push a button. She proceeds to do just as I do - push the button and set her hand on top of the blender just in case the cover flies off and busts a hole in the ceiling and sprays chocolate peanut butter ice cream all over the place... safety first, ya know.
All of a sudden something stinks. Oh shit. She's not only setting her hand on top.... she's pushing down on it. Yep. She ground off all the plastic spikey things that make the blender go round and round.
Not her fault... monkey see, monkey do... only she didn't realize mommy-monkey doesn't hold it down, I just set my hand on there out of habit.

So... we need a new blender. The husband thinks we can maybe just get the part but it looks like it would take a brain surgeon to put it in. I'm just going to hunt for a new blender. I never really liked that one anyway.

What do you have? Do you like it? Any you suggest?

Go read this potty mouth

If I could write something like this, I'd be a millionaire. Ok maybe not, because Jenny isn't (I don't think she is... are you, Jenny?)
For moms of daughters... you gotta read this.

I'll give you a tease, but then you gotta go read the rest yourself. I am not going to be responsible for stomach pains and spilled coffee.

......having 3 little girls...I have changed my tampon in front of them more times than not. It's just the way it is. I think of it as a learning experience.

So, we're in the "big stall" and the girls all go potty first, then I start my process.

As I'm doing my business, I hear one of my evil children say...LOUDLY..."Does it hurt when you put it in?".......

Hurry up... go read it!!!

Oh, and check out her golden babies while you are there, too! Give her Maxwell some luvin's, too, his tummy wasn't feeling well :(

CameraCritters Version 7.6

I couldn't decide for the Camera Critters meme this week, so you are getting 3 shots! A fish (sunfish) that Demon #2 caught on the 4th of July and Saki.

Having a puppy (yes, she's still a pup! Only 8 months old!) is a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun. She's still got a lot of discoveries left. Each day she discovers something more.
This past weekend her discovery was - DRAGONFLIES. I was actually trying to get a picture of the dragonflies, but once she caught sight of them there was no chance that I was going to get a decent picture. She kept chasing them and scaring them away!
But if you look close... I did get a picture of one trying to escape from (or is it playing with?) Saki.

Happy July

Most importantly, Happy Independence Day!

It's sort of ironic that I thought of this this morning, Independence Day, but I was curious on how long it had been since I quit smoking. I'm coming up on the 6th month mark. Wow. 6 months without smoking. I really can't believe I did it.

I still stand by Chantix for helping me through it. I know I wouldn't have quit if I hadn't taken it.

Thursday Thunks Version 7.3

Welcome to the 5th week of Thursday Thunks!

This week we will answer:
If you could pick any two people in the history of the world to be your parents (besides your real ones) who would those two people be? Why?
?????????????

Remember it's YOUR choice on what to do with this question! You can answer it with text, pictures... whatever! Be creative - think about it.

.... and tell your friends!
