Someone brought it to my attention that I talked to much the past couple days... it was hard to catch up on my blog.
Sorry.
Next time I'll post twice as much! LOL

Marine reunited with his war dog
SignOnSanDiego.com > In Iraq -- Marine reunited with his war dog: "They spent months in an Iraqi war zone cementing a special bond.
But after more than a month apart, Marine Maj. Brian Dennis began to worry if Nubs the dog would still remember him, especially in a new place like San Diego.
Their reunion before dawn yesterday at Camp Pendleton clearly showed otherwise.
The 2-year-old dog, named for his two nubby ears, drenched Dennis' face with doggie kisses and said hello with excited whimpers.
“You remember that, huh?” Dennis said as he rubbed the dog's haunches."
I remember hearing about this story a month ago - it brought tears to my eyes. I'm so happy that they were reunited! Read the story... it's so sad. The dog was stabbed with a screwdriver and Maj. Dennis brought him back to health.... among other injuries and such. Great story!

Easter egg coloring
Sisterly love?
Demon #1, being a camera ham as usual
Demon #2 waiting for her egg to change color. We have NEVER been able to get a yellow easter egg.
a row of colors.. the green dye is in the blue cup, the blue dye is in the green cup. Really messed us up.
Demon #2 painting glitter on an egg... no matter how hard you try, you can't make it look like the package! I finally went and grabbed some glitter nail polish.
the end result...

Another snow day
Woke up to more snow this morning... I don't know how much we got since yesterday morning, but it was a mom-walk-around-with-a-camera kind of morning! Just wait 'till the demons get outside!
Do you have an opinion OR NOT?
I belong to quite a few message boards/forums. I guess you could call me a forum addict, really. And just like with anything else, I have my pet peeves. I guess this one doesn't really have to be just forum centered, I don't know.
I cannot stand it when you have an opinion about something and you want others opinions on it and they come back with, "well, it's their choice if they want to do that or not", or something with the same meaning.
I know people have choices and I know people have their own lives, but I also have an opinion and if I want to say what I think they are doing is bullshit in my mind, I'm going to say it. I don't care if it's their choice - I think their choice is WRONG.
Lets take attachment parenting - hey, to those of you who do it - more power to you, BUT! I think it is the biggest crock of doo-doo out there. Sure, you have a right to do it, but I also have the right to think and say that you are out of your mind.
I just get so tired of people wasting other people's time with a comment like "it's their choice". Don't waste my reading space - either you think it's right or you think it's wrong. We all know "it's their choice", we aren't idiots, do you have to use up my time reminding me of that? Arrrggg!!!!
I know, it's sort of pathetic that this pisses me off, but it does. Reading post after post of someone either saying that and nothing else or ending every one of their posts with that is so fricken irritating to me.
Reading this, I sound like a moron myself and I really didn't make any sense, did I ? LOL!

Disfigured woman found dead after French court rejects euthanasia - Yahoo! News
Disfigured woman found dead after French court rejects euthanasia - Yahoo! News: "A mother of three, Sebire attracted a strong outpouring of sympathy when she appealed in a television interview last month for the right to 'depart peacefully'.
Before-and-after pictures of the woman, her face severely deformed, have been featured in the press along withd her account of frightened children who ran away at the sight of her.
Sebire learnt in 2002 that she had developed an esthesioneuroblastoma, an uncommon malignant tumour in the nasal cavity, which she said had led to 'atrocious' suffering.
'In 2000, I lost the sense of smell and taste... and I lost my sight in October 2007,' she said in the television interview.
'One would not allow an animal to go through what I have endured,' she said before urging President Nicolas Sarkozy to intervene and grant her request."
I believe that the one thing a person truly has to call their own is their own life. I've heard the arguments that your life effects others and, yes, that is true... but after all is said and done it is still YOUR life. YOU have to live with the consequences of your actions, YOU have to live with your health, YOU have to live with your looks. Simple as that.
Law or no law - laws were made by mankind, they can be changed by mankind. A law is not written in gold.
What are your thoughts on this one? Do you believe in the law... or do you believe in being humane?
