I scraplifted this layout from someone on the Cricut message board and I just spent 45 minutes trying to find the post over there to no avail to give the person credit. Anyhoo, this was my sons first vacation (other than Scout camping trips)without the rest of us. The diecuts are all from the Life's A Beach cartridge.

A Funny

2009-04-26T10:33:00.000-04:00

A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem.

The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.

Here's what you do," said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response."

That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the office. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens." Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?"

No response.

So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

Still no response.

Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

Again he gets no response.

So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again there is no response.

So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?"

I can't go out and shop but I sure can shop online! I fell in love with some of the Sizzix Bigz XL dies so I treated myself to the new electric Big Shot Express.

It's been quite awhile.....

since I last posted a blog entry. Just before the Christmas holiday I was diagnosed with severe pulmonary hypertension. I haven't had much time to scrap and even when I did have a few minutes I didn't have the energy. I am still not up to scrapping for any extended length but I promised myself that I would try to scrap for at least a half hour a day to keep my spirits up. I was put on oxygen last month and last week I started some new medication and I actually am starting to feel better although I long to take a hike or be able to run the sweeper but I will take each day as it comes.

Indoctrination

2008-09-30T23:18:00.001-04:00

Definition from Wikipedia - Indoctrination is the process of inculcating ideas, attitudes, cognitive strategies or a professional methodology. It is often distinguished from education by the fact that the indoctrinated person is expected not to question or critically examine the doctrine they have learned. As such it is used pejoratively.

Get in my face?

In Elko, Obama tried to anticipate his critics and called on the crowd of about 1,500 to sharpen their elbows, too.

"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face," he said.

What is Michelle Obama running for?

2008-09-19T14:44:00.004-04:00

Michelle Obama says voters need to decide this election by examining the issues, not because they like a candidate or think ``she's cute.''

Obama spoke in Charlotte on Thursday morning at a women's round-table on economic issues. The crowd roared at her remark disparaging voters who might cast a ballot because of a woman's looks, a clear jab at Republican vice presidential pick Sarah Palin.

Obama tried to clarify her remark with a smile, saying she was talking about herself.

Last week Obama said he wasn't calling Sarah Palin a pig even though anyone with an IQ over 70 understood exactly what he was saying and now Obama's babies mama takes a swipe at Palin and then says she was referring to herself. Why would we vote for her and who the heck would ever say that Michelle Obama is cute?

Cowards, both of them.

I won't give him the benefit of the doubt on this one, he knew exactly what he was saying when he said it and if he didn't......well then he is too stupid to become the POTUS.

Biden on when life begins

2008-09-09T16:17:00.000-04:00

“I’m prepared as a matter of faith to accept that life begins at the moment of conception. But that is my judgment,” Biden said on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press.’ “For me to impose that judgment on everyone else who is equally and maybe even more devout than I am seems to me is inappropriate in a pluralistic society.”

Or, as Joe Biden might have said in 1860:

“I’m prepared as a matter of faith to accept that slavery is immoral. But that is my judgement. For me to impose that judgement on everyone else who is equally and maybe even more pro-slavery than I am seems to me is inappropriate in a pluralistic society.”

Obama and his Muslim faith?

2008-09-07T13:13:00.001-04:00

I think it is fair to give Obama the benefit of the doubt on this one, he may have been raised by a Muslim parent and attended a Muslim school but children don't get to make these decisions for themselves. As a young man he became a Christian and even though I don't care for the church that he chose to join it was a Christian church and that is good enough for me.
