Baesball Game #9

It was a sad day yesterday. We lost 5-6
You may have remembered the last team we lost to, guess what… It was the same team.
We were tied until the last inning when they did a great play, we had fun so thats all that matters =)
(Sorry that we have no pictures)
So long

Another Poll Results

So another poll done already.
*sniff sniff*

So here are the results,

Prince of Egypt, 0 votes, 0%
Lord of the Rings, 5 votes, 33%
Star Wars, 1 vote, 6%
All of the above, 4 votes, 26%
And…
5 people voted on 'My fav is not here so I’m Going to Comment!', AND only 1 person commented their favorite movie (thanks Zak)!
If you voted on the 5th answer and didn’t comment, feel my glare! *glare*

But it also looks like Lord of the Rings and everybody’s favorite movies that I didn’t put on are at a tie!
So people, I want you to tell me what your favorite is and I’ll make another poll of it. =)

Baseball Game #8

Game yesterday was a great game for us, we felt kinda bad about the other team though.
We won 15-2.
In the game there was a home run (yah!) that ended the game. I went 2 for 3.
And I did 2 RBIs and I stole a base. =)
And next game I’ll hopefully get some pictures for you all to see.
Until then.

A Drawing


This is a drawing that did about a year ago.

I was trying to draw my favorite Author, Brain Jacques, but I didn’t know how to make him look 'older' so I just went with a 'younger' Brain Jacques! =)

PS
It looks better if you blur your eyes ;-)

Poll Results



One poll down, who knows how many to go.

Here are the results:
54% said it was fine (YAY!)
0% said doesn’t like it (thank you!)
36% said that they’re random (that’s all we’re about here)
0% asked why we had a Christmas song (it’s the best)
And 9% or the one person out there said it needs more.
So for that person I’m adding 2 more songs, just for you. =)

And just to be fun(random) I’m adding a NEW poll about polls!

Joke of the Day

Thanks to Tristyn for telling me this Joke. =)

One day a blonde walks into an electricians store and asked the salesman, “ I would like to buy that TV.”
The salesman looks at here and says, “We don’t sell to blondes.”
The irritated blonde leaves the store and dyes her hair Brown.
So the next day she goes to the same store and asks, “ I liked to buy that TV please.”
The salesman says, “I’m sorry lady, but we don’t sell to blondes.”
The blonde was fuming as she then goes and dyes her hair Raven black.
So then the next day she goes back to the store and asks, “Sir, I would REALLY like to buy that TV!”
The salesman looks at her again and says, “ I’m sorry madam but we do NOT sell to blondes, that is a Microwave!”

Joke of the Day

A blonde was driving home after work and got caught in a really bad hailstorm.
Her car was covered with dents, so the next day she took it to the repair shop.
The shop owner saw that she was a blonde, so he decided to have some fun.
He told her just to go home and blow into the tail pipe really hard, and all the dents would pop out.
So, the blonde went home, got down on her hands and knees and started blowing into her car's tailpipe.

Nothing happened.

She blew a little harder, and still nothing happened.
Her roommate, another blonde, came home and said, "What are you doing?"
The first blonde told her how the repairman had instructed her to blow into the tailpipe in order to get all the dents to pop out.
Her roommate rolled her eyes and said... "HEL-LOOOOOOOO ...You gotta roll up the
windows first!

Playgrounds

What do you imagine when you hear that?
Warm sunshine?
Colorful slides?
Chain-linked swings?
Children yelling, “I gotta go Pott-y!”

Whatever you reflect on, you must remember the pure delight and pleasure you had when you were little.
I always loved the park and its playgrounds, the swings, slides, monkey bars, and that pole that you could slide down-Now that was my favorite.

About a week ago, during one of Jare’s baseball games, for the first time we brought ALL of the little ones. Yep, a 7 year old, 5 year-old, 3 year-old, and a 2 month old baby.
I can say that I only got to watch parts of the game.
Good thing though, there was a playground, *Yay* so my older sister and I took turns watching and playing with the kids.
It was very entertaining (for the kids and me); I went on the slide and in the tunnel.

Then I saw it.

That long, straight pole.

And I thought to myself, “ Man, I love those things.”
So as I watch all the other little kids sliding down it, and having a grad time, I get the idea that if I slide on it, I would have as much fun as them.
And maybe I would have, IF I were less than 5 feet tall!
So stupid little me climbed up to the 4 feet to the little landing, grabbed hold of the pole that had so many blissful childhood memories…and jumped.

And I hit the ground.

Now you may think, “Come on that’s not bad.” Well it sorta was, see I jumped with my legs straight (as I did when I was a 4 foot tall child), and I hit the ground, and that made my knee jam into that fun, metal pole.

Ow


“Well, you just did it wrong” I told myself.
So I climb back up, and slide down.

Ow

Lets just say I’m not always too smart.

So I have retried to swings. That is until I go to a firehouse and slide down their BIG pole.
But I’m not the only one who has pleasurable/horror stories about playgrounds; this guy also has something to say.

Joke for the Day

A young brunette goes into the doctor's office and says that her body hurts wherever she touches it.
"Impossible," says the doctor. "Show me."
She takes her finger and pushes her elbow… and screams in agony.
She pushes her knee and screams, pushes her ankle and screams and so on it goes.
The doctor says, "You're not really a brunette are you?"
She says, "No, I'm really a blonde."
"I thought so," he says. "Your finger is broken."

'If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful Princess.'
The boy picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.The frog said, 'Hey, if you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful Princess,

Joke of the Day

Another Blonde joke where the blonde is smart...kinda.

A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from L.A. to New York.
The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game?
The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap. Politely she declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.
He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vise versa."
Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep.
The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00."
This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?"
The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer.
“Okay," says the lawyer," your turn."
She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?"
The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references.
No answer.
He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the Internet and the Library of Congress.
No answer.
Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail.
After an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $500.00.
The blonde says, "Thank you," puts her head on the pillow and goes back to sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, what's the answer?"
Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.

Knife of the Week #1

I’ve decided to (hopefully) post a different knife at the beginning of each week
This one here is called a Swedish Barrel Knife. This is a small version of the standard ones, which are usually about 4” when closed.



As you can see mine is about 1” long.
They can range to many sizes, I have even heard of one that is around a foot long, but I have not seen it, so please don’t go by this.


The knife is folded inside of the barrel, which makes it a compact knife.
When you pull it out of the barrel, you fold it out like so (see above picture).




You then slide it back into the barrel, making it easier to handle.


I like to wear mine around my neck on a leather string.
I would have to say that this is my favorite of all my knives, because it has my heritage in it. I got this from my Papa on my 14th birthday, and from that day I have always had it on.

Duct Tape

Do you like duct tape? Stupid question, everybody has to love that stuff.
Its like you ask some guy if he like cake and he’s all like “I don’t like no cake.”
Or was it onions?

You can use duct tape for so many things.
Here are just a few I found:

Decorating a dollhouse? Duct tape is good for many things.
Makes classy gray wallpaper.
Makes or repairs roof shingles
“Pave” the driveway (I recommend black duct tape)
Make “solar roof panels.
Create wall mirrors.
Make little area rugs to cover the dollhouse floors.
Create a self-adhering tablecloth.
Help the dolls stand in place.
Duct tape can also make sturdy and fashionable clothing.

Going on a trip?
Your luggage is easily spotted at any airport baggage claim when you have a large duct tape X on each side.
Or better yet, cover your entire suitcase in duct tape-it will be virtually indestructible.
And talk about easy to spot!


Lost your Dog?
Duct tape a pork chop to your chin.
Your dog will find you-along with 20 other dogs.
And here’s the sliver lining, you won’t have to wash your face for a few months!


Hide your valuables from burglars by duct taping them out of sight (say, under tables and chairs).
Warning: If your burglar happens to be a duct tape pro, this hint might backfire-as they might sniff out the duct tape.


How to avoid computer viruses:
Lay duct tape, sticky-side-up on your desk around your computer.
Now I’m no computer technologists, but I’m pretty sure this will stop any computer bugs in their tracks.

AAHHGGG! I've been Pranked!

I didn't want this to happen. I told myself when I got up I would not fall for any pranks.
But I did.
Ask most people if I'm gullible, and they would say no.
But for today my brother was the perfect actor and I, the perfect victim.

4:20 pm.
I’m lounging reading a new book that I got last night, when suddenly Jare (who else) comes running in yelling, “Libby, you left the iron on in the Landry room and the ironing board caught fire!”

Why shouldn’t I believe him I ask you?
I DID use the iron that afternoon, and I AM known to forgetting to turn it off.
So as I jump up, picturing the board in flames, wondering when it’ll catch on to our clothes and thinking ‘why isn’t that smoke alarm going off?’

Now picture me running into the Landry room and seeing… nothing.
No leaping flames, no smoke, no nightmares of having to tell Dad what happened.

Then I hear it. The loud, horrible sound of Jare cracking up. I slowly turn to face him.
And I only said two words.

“You're DEAD!”

He runs off, still laughing-but also yelling. Because he knows I’m right behind him.

So that’s what happened this afternoon on Aprils Fools Day.


Did you pull a prank?
Or where you on the other side of it, like me.
Tell me so I don’t feel alone in this.

-Lib the fool of the day

For April 1st

Here is a funny prank/joke, even though its the wrong time of year.


For Thanksgiving, a mom decided to play a trick on her sister (who's blonde). To get her out of the house, she convinced her that they needed more half and half for the coffee.

While the sister was out, the mom took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, then put it inside the turkey, packing stuffing all around it. She then put the turkey back in the oven.

When everything was ready, the sister took the turkey out of the oven and began to remove the stuffing. When she felt something, she reached in and pulled out the Cornish hen.

Pretending to be shocked, the mother exclaimed, "Patti, you've cooked a pregnant turkey!"
The sister began to cry and was inconsolable.
It took them half an hour to convince her that turkeys lay eggs!

Fire Truck Joke



A fire started on some grassland near a farm. The county fire department was called to put out the fire.
The fire was more than the county fire department could handle.
Someone suggested that a nearby volunteer bunch be called. Despite some doubt that the volunteer outfit would be of any assistance, the call was made.
The volunteers arrived in a dilapidated old fire truck.
They rumbled straight towards the fire, drove right into the middle of the flames and stopped!

The firemen jumped off the truck and frantically started spraying water in all directions.
Soon they had snuffed out the center of the fire, breaking the blaze into two easily controlled parts.
Watching all this, the farmer was so impressed with the volunteer fire department's work and was so grateful that his farm had been spared, that right there on the spot he presented the volunteers with a check for $1,000.
A local news reporter asked the volunteer fire captain what the department planned to do with the funds.
'That ought to be obvious,' he responded, wiping ashes off his coat. 'The first thing we're gonna do is get the brakes fixed on our fire truck!'
