I know when most people give advice they mean well. I feel almost inadequate as a parent sometimes because I push but I feel like the lone man doing it. I tell him if you don't at least try you'll regret it. I tell both of my kid's that. I know from experience that you will feel bad if you don't at least try. I'm the one who is with them all the time. I do the best I can do. My husbands work schedule is really getting to me.
 
Alan Grimsley bought an SUV last year. Three months later there was an SUV hit-and-run incident on the road he lives on. Did Alan Grimsley commit murder? Could you vote for a murderer?

Vote for Ronald Thorne, a candidate who has never been accused of vehicular homicide.



Alan Grimsley recently sued Ronald Thorne for saying he committed murder. Yet Alan Grimsley voted against frivolous lawsuits. Does that make Alan Grimsley a hypocrite? Could you vote for a hypocrite?

Vote for Ronald Thorne, a candidate who has never sued anybody for saying he committed murder.



Actually that is pretty mild compared to the real political ads they are playing this year. :-/

I try to keep this in mind whenever I'm tempted to give advice on something. It's really easy to give your opinion about something you've never gone through.

Now you sound like my mother. :p

This could be a good thing...or a bad thing. I have no idea which so I'll just say it's a good thing. :D
 
Depends which you like. My mother was always insistent we use proper grammar. He and I went to the store, not me and him went to the store.
 
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Crud... Can anyone else see the pictures?

Ever since CC was down, I can't view or post attached pictures. ARGH. :(

I am definitely not that person. I'm not great at grammar. I mess it up quite often. I do understand how most of it works, though.

I would just say, "We went to the store." Haha. That avoids that problem all together. ;) I used to be awful at grammar. Then, I homeschooled my kids. I re-learned a lot. It was sort of fun. Anyone else here have fun diagraming sentences? :D
 
Fun? This must be some new definition of the word "fun," one of which I was previously unaware...

My biggest fear is elevators. I would rather climb 6 flights of stairs then ride in one. Yes, it is that bad. And will still do it to this day, if I was not always so congested.

Elevators have automated brakes now. They've had them since the 1900's. They are a very simple and effective design by a man named Elisha Otis (as in Otis Elevators).

Imagine one brake on each side of the elevator that hooks into two teethed tracks that run along the entire height of the elevator shaft. The brakes are spring-loaded and the thing keeping the spring compressed is the cable tension from the weight of the elevator..... If the cable brakes, the tension on those springs is released and the brakes shoot outward to grab the teethed track. It's sort of like a giant steel zip tie on each side of the elevator! :rolleyes:

Oh and the reason elevators have weight limits is just so it doesn't overload the motor that lifts the elevator. Even if that motor dies the elevator won't fall. Otis actually demonstrated his invention by standing on an elevator several feet above a crowd and letting his assistant sever the cable. The elevator springs holding the brakes activated instantly when the cable was cut and he did not fall.

She went as Harley Quinn for Halloween this year, I'm guessing.

I actually never get to do anything for the holidays because I'm always working. :(

Several of my friends send me pics of themselves in awesome costumes...

When I was about 25, my then-husband and I dressed up as The Crow (1994 movie starring the late Brandon Lee, son of the legendary Bruce Lee.)

So, after I worked all night... came home at 6:30 in the morning the day after Halloween... And just for kicks, whipped out a black eyeliner pencil to see if I could still pull it off. (I'm not quite 25 anymore... lol.)

It wound up looking more like Harley Quinn meets The Crow who met The Joker... Lol.

But I especially like the menacing smile. Which is me, smiling normally... but behind a rim of black. :cool:

Sorry, it's not menacing. Maybe a bit psychologically unstable (which might be attributed to working all night before you did this) but not menacing.

And we can in fact see the ornament. And the ears are facing forward, as they should. No matter which way Mickey faces, his ears always face precisely forward.

I wonder why they're afraid of trying though. Something must have made them afraid. I mean they probably tried something that didn't end well. If u could find that out and address that incident so they'll know it was just a bad learning experience then maybe it will end their fear of trying. Just a thought. :)
 
I just realized that I've never heard an answer to a question I heard on a Tootsie Pop commercial on tv often when I was a kid. So, does anyone know how many licks it takes to get to the middle of a Toostse Pop?

I think you'd be licking for a long time and that would look a little dumb...just put the Tootsie Pop in your mouth and wait :p
