Been going to a pond near our house... no big catches as yet but have managed some small bluegill and catfish... DD is my fishin' buddy which I think is pretty dern neato.
Anywho this pond has TONS of ducks, I mean TONS. And clearly a few of them are pure pekins, a few possibly halfsies, lotsa...

I donno about you guys but a world where China is the Alpha Dog scares the crap out of me.
Mostly because I know what we have done as the Alpha... become the world police, enforcing our beliefs and laws on...
Loved the message in this one...
and actually now have this one as my PC background... replacing another Foxtrot from a week or two ago...
And of course who can argue with the truth in this one??
Any of y'all have a favorite comic strip??

Just an update on our life as we know it...
Teeth: Got my two lower wisdom's cut out of my jaw on Tuesday. Feeling human again.
Which leads to Hair: Decided Wednesday, while good and loopy, to get DH to drive me to Sally's beauty supply to get rid of my gray.
I picked a very vibrant red...
So last night I was scoping AISD.net to see if they've figured out what the plan is for make up days. We're not in it, but cousin KK is and Sis doesn't have internet... knew she'd ask eventually. We've got a couple built into the calendar, but kids have been out more than that. The schools...
Okay so I'm set to become the Rep Payee for my Uncle.
Uncle will soon be going to Oklahoma. Me still being in Texas means I won't be able to go to any stores with him.
He wants to purchase a computer.
So... can anyone recommend a site where I could purchase a ready to go computer and have it...
Some may recall that a new niece entered the world last month? That's Miss Lucy!

The kiddos are just not loving the time4learning curriculum.
They do it, but it just isn't their cup of tea. So, snooping at idears for next year.
Also, only runs through 8th (with S/SS supplements 6-8) so need something else in one year anyways.
Calvert is very expensive, prohibitively so in...
I don't know about you guys but I've found that if I aim too high I end up just blowing the whole thing. So, this year I'm planning a SMALL resolution that I feel will be fairly easy to meet, and hopefully exceed. Posted on FB about it, but also sharing here just in case anyone wants to join...

No way!??! REALLY?!?! Kids will eat cereal that isn't pure sugar. *gasp*

Seriously, adults needed this in writing? DD loves bran flakes, both kiddos love granola, esp with...

There was an article covering this back a ways, but figured I'd pass this along since now's when it's about to actually hit. For dual income homes (whether that's two people each working one job or one person...

Now isn't that a nifty idea? And just down the road from us!
Not that we need a cat, our landlord would flip out, but still awfully cool.

Saw this article over on yahoo... no politics in it, just states facts. None of them apply to US personally, but might give a heads up to some on here so thought I'd pass it along...
So may have seen the topic on Thanks Plans... and the drama.
Last year I invited all to my house for Christmas Eve supper... Mom do the ham, I handle the rest. Bro had to work... Mom made the ham but flaked on coming... Sis drove the ham, Uncle and KK out... QUICK opening of gifts then dash...
Okay so may have seen me mention that DH is getting his Bach this month? He's 31 so it's been a LONG time coming. His elder Bro and Sis never graduated college... Bro DID graduate HS but blew off the ceremony... so MIL is really looking forward yes?
So the ceremony is the 18th... Grads get 5...

Wow... 10 YEARS of research, and $120 million in costs just to print, and they still didn't get it right.
And they wonder why folks don't have absolute faith in government run programs?
