HOW DO YOU LIKE...

The blog's new look?

Decided it was time for a makeover and I thought the double sidebar would look good. I switched to the "new" Blogger layout format and made my modifications.

I will only be showing 4 posts at a time on the front page but you can see earlier ones by just clicking the "Older Posts" link that appears after the last post, or by using the ARCHIVES menu.

Hope you enjoy it and any feedback would be appreciated.

Aloha HALOSCAN

I really liked Haloscan as a comment service but I just clicked on it and the new service from JS/Kit came up. Didn't like it and I posted a comment and it never appeared.

So, I have reactivated Blogger's "comment" service. It will be moderated to keep trolls from wasting everyone's time. Also, if I read it correctly, the comments will be embedded directly below the post. This eliminates all that hassle of pop-up window or being shuffled off to some other web page. If anyone else has left comments over the last couple of days, and they didn't appear in that sidebar widget (also history) then I never received them.

Don't forget, you can also use the chat box on the sidebar to just make general comments. Don't even have to sign in.

Hey, its almost March and winter will soon be leaving our presence. I am so HAPPY!

Oh, has anyone noticed that my other blog has both a left AND a right sidebar. Blogger doesn't offer that as an option but I've been doin' some readin' and figured out how to make it work. Pretty kewl, eh?

My Angel Drops In

My beautiful Angel, Alissa (a/k/a/ "Wiskers") went skydiving yesterday, SUNDAY 21-FEB-2010. She's wearing the camera. (duh!) Just been informed the she's NOT the one wearing the camera. She's the one you're watching doing all the spins and shit. As she pointed out, winds speeds of 130mph do tend to distort one's appearance. Also, all that gear she's wearing tends to hide her fantastic good looks.

XOXO Love you Angel! XOXO

CHEVROLET BRINGS YOU THE NEWS - FROM 1935

Before the days of TV, shorts like this ran in the local theaters. Usually prior to the main feature.









"Let's all be careful out there!"

Out of the ol' e-mail box:

Crucial

Because of recent abductions

In daylight hours, refresh yourself

of these things to do

in an emergency situation...

This is for you,

and for you to share

with your wife,

your children,

everyone you know.

After reading these 9 crucial tips,

forward them to someone you care about.

It never hurts to be careful

in this crazy world we live in.
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :

The elbow is the strongest point

on your body.

If you are close enough to use it, do!
2.. Learned this from a tourist guide.

If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,

DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM.

Toss it away from you....

Chances are that he is more interested

in your wallet and/or purse than you,

and he will go for the wallet/purse.

RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car,

kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole

and start waving like crazy..

The driver won't see you, but everybody else will.

This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars

after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit

(doing their chequebook, or making a list, etc.)

DON'T DO THIS!

The predator will be watching you, and this

is the perfect opportunity for him to get in

on the passenger side, put a gun to your head,

and tell you where to go.

AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR ,

LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE..

If someone

is in the car

with a gun

to your head

DO NOT DRIVE OFF,

Repeat:

DO NOT DRIVE OFF!

Instead gun the engine

and speed into anything, wrecking the car.

Your Air Bag will save you.

If the person is in the back seat

they will get the worst of it .

As soon as the car crashes

bail out and run.

It is better than having them find your body

in a remote location.

5. A few notes about getting

into your car in a parking lot,

or parking garage:

A.) Be aware:

look around you,

look into your car,

at the passenger side floor ,

and in the back seat

B.) If you are parked next to a big van,

enter your car from the passenger door.

Most serial killers attack their victims

by pulling them into their vans while the women

are attempting to get into their cars.

C.) Look at the car

parked on the driver's side of your vehicle,

and the passenger side... If a male is sitting alone

in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back

into the mall, or work, and get a

guard/policeman to walk you back out.

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator

instead of the stairs.

Stairwells are horrible places to be alone

and the perfect crime spot.

This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun

and you are not under his control,

ALWAYS RUN!

The predator will only hit you (a running target)

4 in 100 times; and even then,

it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.

RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying

to be sympathetic:

STOP

It may get you raped, or killed.

Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,

well educated man, who ALWAYS played

on the sympathies of unsuspecting women.

He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often

asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle,

which is when he abducted
his next victim.

9. Another Safety Point:

Someone just told me that her friend heard

a crying baby on her porch the night before last,

and she called the police because it was late

and she thought it was weird.. The police told her

'Whatever you do, DO NOT

open the door..'

The lady then said that it sounded like the baby

had crawled near a window, and she was worried

that it would crawl to the street and get run over.

The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way,

whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.'

He told her that they think a serial killer

has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax

women out of their homes thinking that someone

dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it,

but have had several calls by women saying that

they hear baby's cries outside their doors

when they're home alone at night.



10. Water scam!

If you wake up in the middle
of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a
burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your
outside taps full ball so that you will go out to investigate and
then attack.

Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbours!

Just to keep things in perspective:

As of the moment of the post, the movie AVATAR has had estimated gross box office receipts of $2,357,605,653. The highest grossing pic in history. GONE WITH THE WIND had a gross of $390,500,000.

But wait, those GWTW figures are in 1939 dollars. If we adjusted for inflation that would be an equivalent of $60,021,510,000 (Duh! That's $60 Billion) in today's money. Sorry James Cameron. You still have a ways to go to truly hold the record.

Think Before You Speak

Think before you speak...
Here are six reasons why you should think before you speak - the last one is
great!
Have you ever spoken and wished that you could
immediately take the words back... or that you could crawl into a hole?
Here are the Testimonials of a few people who did....


FIRST TESTIMONY:
I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked
loudly,
'How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?'
I turned around and walked back out and never went back
My husband didn't say a word...
he knew better.


SECOND TESTIMONY:
I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls.
I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using.
After browsing for several minutes,
I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works at the store.
He asked if he could help me.
Without thinking, I looked at him and said, 'I think I like playing
with men's balls'

THIRD TESTIMONY:
My sister and I were at the mall and
passed by a store that sold a variety of candy and nuts.
As we were looking at the display case,
the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help.
I replied, 'No, I'm just looking at your nuts..'
My sister started to laugh hysterically.
The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away.
To this day, my sister has never let me forget.


FOURTH TESTIMONY :
While in line at the bank one afternoon,
my toddler decided to release some pent-up energy and ran amok.
I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust
I told her that if she did not start behaving 'right now' she would be
punished.
To my horror, she looked me
in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening,
'If you don't let me go right now,
I will tell Grandma that I saw you
kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!'
The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange.
Even the tellers stopped what they were doing.
I mustered up the last of my dignity and
walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow.
The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me, were screams of
laughter.


FIFTH TESTIMONY:
Have you ever asked your child a question too many times?
My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on
him constantly.
One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch, in between errands. It was
very busy, with a full dining room.
While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny,
so of course I checked
my seven-month-old daughter, she was clean.
The realized that Danny
had not asked to go potty in a while.
I asked him if he needed to go, and he said 'No'
I kept thinking
'Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with
me.'
Then I said,
'Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?'
'No,' he replied.
I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting
worse.
Soooooo, I asked one more time, 'Danny did you have an accident ? This time he
jumped up, yanked down his pants,
bent over, spread his cheeks and yelled
'SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!'
While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing,
he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down.
An old couple made me feel better,

thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!


LAST BUT NOT LEAST TESTIMONY:
This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days
and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will,
in the future, likely think before she speaks.
What happens when you predict snow but don't get any!
We had a female news anchor that,
the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't,
turned to the weatherman and asked:
'So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?'
Not only did HE have to leave the set,
but half the crew did too they were laughing so hard!

This is fun

Pretty Cool


Read out loud the text inside the triangle below.
More than likely you said, 'A bird in the bush,'! and. ......
If this IS what YOU said, then you failed to see that the word THE is repeated twice!
Sorry, look again.





You may not see it at first, but the white spaces read the word optical, the blue landscape reads the word illusion. Look again! Can you see why this painting is called an optical illusion?



What do you see here?


This one is quite tricky!
The word TEACH reflects as LEARN.



Last one.
What do you see?

You probably read the word ME in brown, but........
when you look through ME
you will see YOU!

Do you need to look again?




Test Your Brain
This is really cool. The second one is amazing so please read all the way though.



ALZHEIMER'S EYE TEST

Count every '
F ' in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...


(SEE BELOW)

HOW MANY ?
WRONG, THERE ARE
6 -- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !
Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.


The reasoning behind is further down.

The brain cannot process 'OF'.

Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!
Anyone who counts all 6 'F's' on the first go is a genius.



Three is normal, four is quite rare.

Send this to your friends. It will drive them crazy.! And keep them occupied
For several minutes..!



Look at the spinning woman and if she is turning right your right side of your brain is working. If she is turning left your left side of your brain is working. If she turns both ways for you then you have a 160 or better IQ.
