How to clear a room of teenagers
I have 2 teenagers, both girls. It seems there is always a guest in our house. It may be just one additional kid, or a whole house full, but, I am going to start taking their pictures and hanging them on the wall so I can remember who they are.
One thing I have learned is how to clear the room any time I want. 5 words, that’s all it takes. And here is how to accomplish this unbelievable feat.
Just get in the room with the kids. Listen carefully (but not obviously) to the conversations you hear. And yes I said [...]
3 Estrogen - 1 Testosterone = Insanity
I am married with 2 teenage daughters. We have 2 female dogs and 2 female cats.
Is it any wonder I am a geek?
Oh yeah, there is one male Gerbil left, although we have not spent much time together.
Things that I can’t grasp.
Didn’t we just buy a 24 roll pack of toilet paper.
Why do they have to straighten their hair?
How much does makeup cost?
That bug is smaller than your fingernail, step on it!
How many pair of shoes is in that closet?
Start getting ready for a 7pm movie at 2pm.
Things that help me survive.
Headphones
Nascar
Guitar
Ukulele
Internet
Soduko
Poker
So, it is a fact, 3 Estrogen - 1 [...]
Paradise Remade . . . Sort of: Genesis 6:9-9:29
The significance of Noah and his descendants in the thought and lives of Christians during the Middle Ages receives less attention today than it did 1500 years ago. There are still some 600 maps of the earth that exist from the Middle Ages, so we can learn how they literally viewed the world. If you were to notice these maps today you’d be surprised that Jerusalem (referred to as the “naval of the world” in the Latin Bible) marked the center of the earth. To the east, south, and west, that is,
Recommended Resource: "Sharing Family Strengths" Activity Booklet
This week I came across a great resource on Minnesota's Family and Children's Services Web site: a printable booklet titled "Sharing Family Strengths." You can download it right...
President Bush Attends APEC CEO Summit 2008
Permalink - Comments (View) President Bush on Saturday said, "The bonds of unity we felt then remain today, and they will always remain. Long after this crisis has passed, the United States of America will stay engaged in this region. We will continue working with our partners to build an Asia Pacific where people can work and worship and trade in freedom, where children grow up with hope and pursue their dreams, and where thriving, prosperous nations continue to inspire the world." « Previou
Life on the Rock - Part Two
Part two of: “Life on the Rock” - Tillamook Rock Lighthouse By Lon Haynes (a former inmate of the Rock) The first part of “Life on the Rock” covered my arrival, in this chapter I will attempt to describe getting used to daily life on the rock. Not your conventional duty station by any stretch of the imagination. For the most part, each day was pretty much like the day before it, uneventful, boring, drab. Daily cleaning of walls, floors, doors, etc. with periodic painting of walls, floors, doo
Don’t fall for JONAH’s vile homophobic propaganda
THE laughable notion that gay people can be turned “straight” is commonly held among a variety of crackpot Christian fundie groups, but our attention has just been drawn to the dotty and downright dangerous activities of a Jewish group called JONAH – “Jews Offering New Alternatives to Homosexuality”. Four years ago, this vile little outfit received an endorsement from the Rabbinical Council of America, which described JONAH as: The only Jewish based organization dedicated to assisting individ
Monster Lawsuits…
Despite the hilarity that IS Craftastrophe, the one thing we can all admire is that these things are (for the most part) handmade by someone. This, however, is plain ole stealing. What would it look like if an ostrich ate a gecko and then the gecko morphed into a giant lizard? I think it would look like this guy! This fella was deconstructed from 2 reclaim beanie babies and debeaned then reconstructed into this monster hand-sewn ostrich gecko! This is a one-of-a-kind monster so be the fi
Friday, November 22, 1963.
"Amarcord". Afternoon. An elementary school classroom in Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Terwilliger's class. In the middle a very odd loud speaker announcement from Ms. Patrick, the principal. School over early. A bright girl named Patty--who cried about everything, and with whom I attended college many years later--cried. But nothing else happened. Children seem to know not to make light of sacred or too real things beyond their ken. Up the stairs to get your coat and hat from homeroom. Down the stairs
Viz does it again
I want to cut down on the manga I buy, I really do. But Viz just keeps making it harder! Six new licenses have been found for the publisher, 2 of which I’m going to have to get. While all the attention seems to be going to Detroit Metal City and Ooku, Rasetsu no Hana and Black Bird are the ones that are taking mine. Rasetsu no Hana is a kind of sequel to the Viz Shojo Beat title, Yurara (Yurara no Tsuki). It features Yako, the water using medium that was attracted to Yurara’s spirit guardi
Legalising pre nuptial agreements could institutionalise injustice for Muslim women
This week the question of whether pre nuptial agreements should be made legally binding was raised in a report reviewing family law reform for the Centre for Social Justice. Hardly a hot topic you may think unless you happen to be fantastically rich and about to get married? Well actually such a proposal could effectively legalise a situation of grave injustice experienced by a number of Muslim women. Although it may come as a surprise to many, the islamisation of family law in Britain is at t
Child care For Wahm’s
Child care For Wahm’s Saturday, November 22, 2008 17:06 Posted in category WAHMs No Comments Many potential Wahms think that starting an at home daycare business will be an easy way to make extra money and stay at home with their children. Owning a childcare business can be rewarding and does have many perks. However, the realities of this type of business are far from the ideal expectations of most people considering childcare. If you have experience in child care or a degree related to
Amsterdam to close about 20% of its marijuana cafes
Marijuana is technically illegal in the Netherlands, but can be sold in small amounts in designated cafes — euphemistically known as “coffee shops” — without fear of prosecution. More than a quarter of the country’s cafes are in Amsterdam, where they are a major tourist attraction. But Mayor Job Cohen said the city would close about 20 percent of its cafes. Amsterdam will close almost a fifth of its marijuana cafes to comply with a national ban on having them near schools. Letters have been
Invest in life insurance policy and protect your family’s future.
Invest in life insurance policy and protect your family’s future. November 22nd, 2008 by Todd Martin The financial interests have to be no doubt the focus of attention for everybody today. You should continue to dominate your life and mind till you do not achieve success. You all ought to genuinely and sincerely think about your financial protection in life. You have to stand very strongly in life to face all the ill effects which may perhaps happen in your life. If you haven’t made arrangeme
Christmas Card FAIL *Bloggy Carnival*
I attempted the impossible. I tried to take a cute picture of my girls for the annual Christmas card. As in BOTH of the looking at the camera (with a smile on their face), at the same time, in unison. I did everything I knew possible to make this a fun and happy time. I filled their little bellies, I washed their hair, put some cute "holiday" clothes on them, threw on some kids music, and even bribed them with suckers. What else was a Mom to do? Anyway, the little photo shoot did not go as
Red Plum Linen - Australian-made comfort
I wasn't much of a pink-loving person when I was a little girl. It's delightful to see a blue and green linen option from Red Plum Linen for little girls who, just like me, prefer other colours. Choosing the right linen can really make a room - whether it's the feature, or whether you want a chic backdrop to the other wonderful things your children possess. The range at Red Plum Linen caters for different tastes, with red stars, blue stars, girly florals and gutsy cowboys. The sets are a
The values of free speech
By Barbara Julian, via the Vancouver Sun: Can a country reconcile the two ideals of multiculturalism and free speech, given that some of the cultures concerned not only do not value, but actively oppose, free speech? This question received a full airing this year after the Canadian Islamic Congress lodged a complaint with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal against Maclean's magazine. Maclean's had published online an excerpt from Mark Steyn's book, America Alone, which alleges that the global ambit
Obama economic plan aims for 2.5M new jobs by 2011
Obama economic plan aims for 2.5M new jobs by 2011 WASHINGTON – President-elect Barack Obama promoted an economic plan Saturday he said would create 2.5 million jobs by rebuilding roads and bridges and modernizing schools while developing alternative energy sources and more efficient cars. "These aren't just steps to pull ourselves out of this immediate crisis. These are the long-term investments in our economic future that have been ignored for far too long," Obama said in the weekly Democr
Beauty Schools
To learn anything we must be trained. In order to specialize in a particular field we have to go to school. Some children might be interested in fashion and beauty. Why to betray them? There is a collection of Beauty Schools in the site http://www.findabeautyschool.com/ which has schools listed area wise.

Review: Sleep Sheep and Twilight Turtle by Cloud B
Today I received the Sleep Sheep and Twilight Turtle from Cloud B. I have to say, this came at just the right time. I couldn’t wait to open the package and try them out. Why you ask? I have 4 month old twins (a boy and a girl) that are teething, so they are fussy and having a [...]
Discount bookstore open (briefly) at Regency Mall
Move over, Barnes and Noble and Martha Merrell's. There's a new bookstore in town. This one has an exciting pricing approach: "80% off!" (And, shhhh! It's not advertised, but teachers and librarians will get another 15% discount just by showing ID.) Regency Mall's new tenant for the space recently vacated by Linens and Things' bankruptcy, and then briefly occupied by Halloween USA, is Giant Book Sales, a "seasonal" retailer that has rented the space "at least until the end of February." It op
Green Living With Fleurville Bags
What is not to like about the line of Diaper Bags known as Fleurville? It is worth noting that Fleurville eco-friendly diaper bags have an eco friendly philosophy, which is carried out into its production process. Fleurville is known for its environmentally friendly Green Lam, a moisture resistant product that replaces the poisonous Teflon that is usually used in bags. These bags are not only eco-friendly, they are also practical. If one were to look at the interior design, they would agree w
