Most of my friends don't have TVs they all watch Netflix on their computers and tablets

We have a TV plugged into our computer in the living room - the kids play games, watch netflix, etc, with supervision.

We also have tablets. We don't have cable. Hulu and netflix are plenty! Plus all the free stuff on amazon prime streaming! We don't watch a lot of TV though....


Did you know that I'm tired? I went for a walk LOL

I didn't know that, but I can understand it. I HATE flies. They bug me.... (pardon the pun.)

Do you know that I let my kids have swatters and give them a penny for every fly they kill?

Did you know my dad used to pay me a quarter for every fly I killed? Better not let your kids see this post

With how many flies we get, I couldn't afford a quarter. The kids earn a few bucks a week as it is off the flies! LOL

Did you know that instead of allowance, I just buy my kids stuff they want when they ask for it, if it's reasonable and they've been good for a while?

(They can do "extra" chores for money though, but it's not an allowance, that's earned money! LOL)

Hey I made good money from that.

Did you know I think that is a fabulous idea? Hard earned money is so much more appreciated.

Did you know there was an elephant convicted and hanged in Erwin Tennessee

I did not, Pictures or I dont believe you!

Did you know although the elephant trunk is really huge, weighing about 400 pounds, it is so dexterous it can pick up very tiny things including a single grain of rice.

"Why Glass and Steel Bounce Better Than Rubber

When a rubber ball hits a surface, it compresses and deforms before returning to its original shape. Quite a lot of energy is lost in this process. Although it is not a crystal like its chemical relative, quartz (SiO2), glass is rigid and does not deform much when it strikes a surface. Most of the energy of the impact returns to the glass. Steel is crystalline, especially hardened steel containing carbon, so it deforms slightly but retains a lot of the collision energy. Of course, the bouncy advantage is lost if a glass or steel ball is hurled with force because glass will break and dense steel will have enough momentum to become a weapon."
