I am not sure if ALL of this is true.. but..
Question 1:
If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already,
three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she
had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?
Read the next question before looking at the response for this
one.
Question 2:
It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote
counts. Here are the facts about the three candidates.
Candidate A. = Associates with crooked politicians, and consults
with astrologist. He’s had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and
drinks 8 to10 martinis a day.
Candidate B. = He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until
noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every
evening.
Candidate C. = He is a decorated war hero. He’s a vegetarian,
doesn’t smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.
Which of these candidates would be our choice? Decide first…
no peeking, and then scroll down for the response.
Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.
And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question: If you
said YES, you just killed Beethoven.
Pretty interesting isn’t it? Makes a person think before judging
someone. Wait till you see the end of this note! Keep reading…
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember: Amateurs…built
the ark. Professionals…built the Titanic.
And finally, can you imagine working for a company that has a
little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:
* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2
businesses
* 3 have done time for assault
* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
* 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
* 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year…
Can you guess which organization this is?
Give up yet?
It’s the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same
group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep
the rest of us in line.
Well 4th of July was alright. Our plans were to go over to my dads to swim and eat and light fireworks when it got dark enough. We were going to go see a firework show at a park also but decided not too since we’d need to get there super early to get a good spot, so we just got extra fireworks of our own. Before we went over to my dads we stopped off at the store to get me a new bathing suit. I hadn’t gone swimming in such a long time that I didn’t even have one.
We got to my dads around 3 30 and my daughter immediately wanted to go into her little kid pool. She had lots of fun in there and I also got lots of pictures. When I went into the bigger pool in the backyard with her she got a little cranky. She finally calmed down once we all started eating. There was chicken, beans, pasta salad and some other little things. We started lighting fireworks around 8:30 pm or so.. My mom also had some fireworks of her own, so we lit those first and my daughter was pretty scared. She was mostly scared because they were so loud. Towards the end we were lighting off ones that were more quiet and she kinda calmed down and watched them. I would say “Ohh look at the pretty colors.” Well obviously after such a long day she was pretty tired when we got home.
A downside about the 4th of July was that my daughter had just started to get a little sick. The day before the 4th I had noticed her voice sounded really hoarse and then 4th of July night she couldn’t seem to stay asleep and kept waking up as if something were hurting her. We took her to the doctors on the 5th and her doctor said that she didn’t need any antibiotics, that it was probably some sort of virus and would go away on it’s own. He checked her throat and ears and her temp, all was normal but she still seemed like something was really bothering her. It hurts her to eat so she hasn’t had much of an appetite for the past 2 days. I’ve just been really worried about the whole thing, I hate when she is sick! I’m hoping she improves soon or I will be taking her back so they can take a second look.
So I just got done writing a pretty long blog about a website I use and it disappeared right when I published it. Pretty disappointing really. It went something like:
When I am bored and am enjoying time to myself I like to find some interesting websites online. Sometimes I just want to find something worth reading and other times I like doing something more interactive. I recently found a game website that I really enjoy. It really is surprising since I am not much of a game person! I especially don’t like gore/shooting action type games. They do have that type but they also have puzzle and strategy games. I’m really glad that I found it because I love puzzles and strategy! The site is laid out really well which makes it pretty easy to browse. They have pages and pages of games.
If you like other games such as RPG, shooting, arcade, adventure, action, sports venusarcade has those games as well. It’s hard to choose but I think my favorite game at the website would have to be Link Fest It may be really simple but I just can’t seem to quit playing it. I recommend it to anyone else who likes a good puzzle game. You can also rate the games that you play and they seem to have a poll as well. It hasn’t changed since I’ve gone there during the past few days but I’m interested to see what type of other polls they are going to have. According to the poll this lay out is new, looks very good to me.

When I was pregnant with my first baby I was very ecstatic about shopping for all of the things that she was going to need when she entered the world! I bought her tons of new and adorable clothes and toys! I also got her a lot of different things like a swing, walker, bouncer etc.. Well after she was born and after having taken care of her for a while i realized I had bought way too much or that I had bought a brand that was more expensive than another. Sometimes brand doesn’t matter at all and sometimes it does, when one is worse than the other it’s usually pretty obvious.
I think most new mothers over shop. Being pregnant a second time I am still happy about going shopping but I only plan on getting the necessary things. I don’t really need to buy any clothes because I still have a lot of clothes leftover from my daughter that are neutral and people always give me a lot of clothes too. I had so much with my daughter that she didn’t even get to wear a lot of them before she was already too big for them. So I guess it’s important to try not to shop for too many clothes even though it may be hard to pass up all of the adorable outfits! I also don’t need any toys because I still have those too, a lot of people gave me some. She became bored of most of her toys after playing with them once or twice as well. Bonding with your baby is probably much more fun to them than a bunch of toys anyways..
So pretty much all I need this time is a dresser, car seat and a double stroller. I don’t plan on using a walker this time because I heard that may cause them to learn to walk at a later age. It supposedly can cause this because their legs move in a completely different motion than when they are actually walking. A bouncer and swing are not very important to me either because they are just replacing the attention that I can give to my baby and I’m sure my baby would much rather have my attention. I suppose if you are a busy mother and need your hands free for a moment they are a good way to keep your baby calm.
I also think that going to babies r us may not be the best choice if you have a tight budget. Walmart, Target and similar places can have items of equal value for a much cheaper price. I happen to love both of those stores! I also used to buy the most expensive diapers and wipes when my first daughter was born but now I just buy what works even if it isn’t the most expensive.
So I still love shopping I just try to be a little more wise about it. Now that I’m about to have two kids I also shop a lot less for myself. It seems way more fun to buy the kids things. If I buy myself something it’s usually because I really need it or really, really want it.

You Are Not Prissy |
 You’re the furthest thing from a princess – and you probably stay far away from any princess types you know. You have an easygoing approach to living. It doesn’t take a lot to make you happy. And when life requires it, you’re ready to get your hand a little dirty. There’s no problem you’re too prissy to tackle! |
