Cure for "stupid"?

If there was a cure for stupid, it'd be awesome. If I could come up with a cure for stupid, it'd be even better.
But the fact is, THERE IS NO CURE FOR STUPID.
Thanks for stopping by.

Leftover NOMS....

It's leftover NOMS time. Then after that, nap. Then more noms. Repeat as often as necessary..... :sigh: BLISS!

Happy Thanksgiving from ours to yours!

Hope everybody has a safe and wonderful Thankgiving weekend! Enjoy the noms!
Love and hugs!

It's flu season again.....

Yippee.... It's flu season. And it begs the question yet again this year..... To flu shot or not to flu shot.... With three kids in school, there is always the strong possibility that they will bring something home. There is no doubt that if one comes home with it, no matter how much you try to isolate the sick child in a room by himself, everybody is going to get sick... We've not ever had too much luck with the flu shots ever. The few days after the shots, one or all of the kids became unwell within a couple of days and had to stay home from school. Then, when they go back to school only to catch a different strain of the flu. THAT is a whole BUTT LOAD of fun! Fevers and spewing stuff and the feeling of death being at the doorstep..... Then the boredom, but not wanting to do anything and feeling like absolute crap for EVER. My eldest son got over the flu in two days. TWO DAYS. He was totally right as rain and done. The second eldest was three days. The two younger ones weren't as lucky and it was a week of fun for them. Bless their little hearts they stayed in the room, watched movies together, snuggled up together on the big bed, drank fluids and fell asleep together cuddled up like a litter of puppies. It was adorable. I managed to get all four kids through the flu thing before it claimed its last victim. Me..... Blaaaaaaahhhh..... That sucked a lot.
Looking forward to doing it again this year! NOT!!

Another message brought to you by the stupidity of people.....

I hate stupid people. They make me angry.

A different kind of "bringing hell".....

We all have people in our lives that we have told to go to hell. I've had people who've told me to go to hell myself. Whatever.

So, I began thinking. What is hell anyway? Is it a place of fire and brimstone and perpetual suffering? And if it's a place of perpetual suffering, what kind of suffering is it? I mean, is it like excruciating pain and agony? I mean, some people get off on that kind of stuff... SO then what? Eternal suffering through emotional misery? Well, I know quite a few many people who are CONSTANTLY in self pity mode and would rather be the eternal victims and live in misery...

Maybe it's more like an individualized thing, custom made for everyone. Tailor made for whoever with their own brand of hellish suffering. Like, mine would be a world without bacon. Can you imagine the suffering for a person like Bin Laden? Bacon everywhere and pink, prancing unicorns and rainbows and cute, furry, fluffy things naked women beating him like a pinata every hour on the hour and feeding him tainted pork products that had gone bad...

And what of the people who I feel should go to hell, but won't. My thoughts on this? I should be that person's hell. Not in a mean or malicious way or anything like that and (unless under certain circumstances where it was necessary) it wouldn't be violent or cause injury or harm. I am talking about something else. Annoying a person so bad that your mere presence alone drives them bonkers is the best way, especially if it's someone you see every day. The "annoying thing" is the easiest thing to do and brings it's own brand of hellishness to the one you're annoying.
I just like to smile like nothing in the world is wrong, let go of all the anger or resentment that I have for said individual, forgive them for whatever and move on. Nothing annoys them so much. It's a fun time for all..... Well, maybe just for me, but it gets the job done.

It's the most NOMMIEST time of the year....

The one thing I can say that I do enjoy about the holidays is the noms. All the Nom Holidays lumped up together at the end of the year all at once.... There is a constant nom-o-rama happening all over and everywhere you go! It's AWESOME! I won't go into total bliss mode until all of the holidays are over, but I will experience temporary moments of bliss as I nom on all the nommy nom noms. THIS I promise. Pass noms please!

SHUTUP!

I have my moments when I am not too cordial when it comes to certain types of people. Standing around and talking to them is a painful experience because I would really rather be doing ANYTHING else, but they try and have a conversation with me anyway. I don't get that. It should be obvious from my disdain that I don't want to continue on with the conversation, but it seems to drag on anyway as the idiot I'm not wanting to talk to tries desperately to resuscitate the conversation by yammering on and asking me my opinion or asking questions. I finally get to a point where I will say to someone, "I really don't want to talk to you...." The response? "Why?"
"Why? Because FUCK YOU, that's why!"  It is a great conversation finisher. You should try it some time. It works wonders.

SLOOoooooOOOW internet.....

There are times when the internet is so slow that it takes FOREVER for stuff to happen, especially when I want it to happen NOW. Which is always. With five computers trying to go all at once on one wireless system, sometimes things get slooooooooooooowww....... Today is one of those days. Frustration abound. This sucks.

11-11-11

Yesterday had a pretty trippy date, huh? What will the day bring? Is something going to happen at 11:11AM or 11:11PM? Maybe the internet is going to crash or the world is going to end. It's just one of those weird happenings where the date seems like it's all omen-y and junk..... Just saying. I thought it was cool... A random thought because of what the date was is all..... So I thought, "Carry on! Go back about your day. See you tomorrow, tomorrow!"

It's 11/12 now... And "Hey! Welcome back!"  Well, it seems we have survived another one of those ominous kind of "end of the world" days.... For now...... There'll be another one along any minute now.... You just wait and see!

Pouting.....

After the kids get into to trouble for fighting, they usually resort to ignoring the crap out of each other, even though they crave the others' attention. It never really lasts too long simply because they want to play with each other and go back to what they were doing. I've been trying to leave them to their own devices lately so that they can learn to work things out for themselves a little more and most of the times it works. Sure there are times when I have to step in and referee them, but it doesn't take too much direction from me for them to bring it back together, which is pretty cool to see. A few minutes later, they're back to playing again and they learn to compromise a little here and there. They work scary well as a team when they are all spot on and are functioning as a unit and it is quite the sight to see.
I get a little bit of "instant gratification" here for once and it feels pretty good. My kids rock!

Easily distracted....

I love how easily distracted I can be sometimes. Yes, MOST of the time, it is annoying because I get off task and forget to do something and I end up spending more time on something then I really needed to, but there are some times when it does rather come in handy. Times like when I'm upset about something. Stomping around, I find something that distracts me and I go with it. Some time later I finish off all the things I needed to get done that day and I go back to what it was that pissed me off, but by this time, I've usually forgotten what it was that had me in such a stit. When or if I remember, it never really seems as bad as I had originally thought and I deal with it. It figures. My A.D.D. does come in handy sometimes! YAY!

Gaah! Nature! Get it off me!

It's not that I don't like nature. Actually, I love it. I can do the camping thing, I function just fine doing the hiking thing and the roughing it thing. I love the great outdoors, the fresh air and all that other stuff. But it has to be on my terms. I can stand for cooking on the grill and going fishing and sleeping in a tent and whopping it up and having a great time, sure! But I can't do it at one of those places that doesn't have access to running water. THAT'S my hang up. I need to be able to shower and feel human, otherwise, I get a little cranky to say the least. Everything else, I'm pretty hip to. Roasting bugs and grubs and small rodents doesn't really bother me. They're actually quite tasty when you prepare them right. And there's something rather serene and nice about sleeping under the starts and hearing the sounds of the woods at night too. Maybe a nice breeze through the tree tops.... :sigh:
If there are bugs flying around me, I'm going to go sleep in the car though!

No internet.....

There are times when I find that I have no internet, like the weekends spent at Lucky's condo. It took a little getting used to, but it is rather liberating at the same time. It's actually kind of nice. Actually interacting with real live people and having face to face conversations with people. As a joke I will poke Lucky just because, but it ends up turning into a whole silly game that leads to other stuff and that can be fun as well...
I limit the time my kids spend on the internet as well. Sure they get a little cranky about it, but I want to make sure that they know that there is a whole big world outside of cyberspace and I want them to be able to experience it for real. The internet has opened so many doors and you can do things that you've never really thought were possible, but it also closes off so many avenues and I feel as if kids these days are missing out on so much life out there.
For the time being, I get the eye rolls and the exasperated sighs, but someday they'll thank me for it. It's what I hold onto in the hopes that I am helping them to grow up to be well centered self sufficient people as they grow. In the mean time, I am the internet nazi.... Yay me..... :s

I threw up in my mouth a little....

I've seen this picture along with a couple of others (same guy)... I'm at a loss here. Does he think the knives, guns (are they even real?) and guitars make him look cool? Maybe the long hair and Speedo? This is a sickness. Seriously! It is! I am doubting that this guy knows how to play the guitar and I don't think he knows how to run a pistol either. Even if he could do both, he's still a fat, hairy, ugly bastard with no chance of ever getting laid, and that's probably his mom's basement anyway. I just needed to comment on this picture because these are yet another type of people I like to mock. The guy took this picture thinking, "I am a SEXY BEAST!" and now all the world can be out there laughing their right foul heads off.

On the other hand, I wonder if there is a someone who thought, "I'd hit that!".... I don't know what's scarier at the moment....

Then there's the person behind the camera who agreed to help take the picture.... 

Edgar.....

I stopped watching the second they killed Edgar...

GAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!
