Paying Homage to the Big Yaller Truck

Crazed Ramblings from my Mind:

Matt and I buy American made goods anytime we can, and if we can't find American made products we'll look for European, Canadian, or Australian products. Sadly however, finding anything made in America anymore is like finding that proverbial needle in a haystack. Luck was with us the other day then, while we were at Wal*Mart looking for a new fan for the bedroom. The Lasko we ended up buying had Made In America written in big, bold letters across the front of the box. To make a sweet deal better, it was also the least expensive one there. To make a short story even shorter, I've mailed them a business letter letting them know that the only reason we bought the fan is where it was made. Hopefully some positive feedback will encourage them to keep factories open here. I'll post any news I get from them on here in the near future. Typing the letter on the computer only took 10 minutes. I used this website to help with the finer points of writing a professional letter. Maybe if more of us would take the time and let these companies know we are tired of being sold out then they will start bringing jobs back home. Our founding fathers knew the importance of the written word. It's time for us to regain that skill and help get this great country back on the right track.

Think I'll remention some new additions to the site. I have a new page of pictures on the random photos page, a new guestbook that is dying for someone to sign it. Yes, that means you. And, my new MST3K section which is labeled as Next sunday AD on the navigation bar at the bottom. I know you're going to like the new section because I like it, and I'm my own worse critic! **dumb laughter**. I'm hoping to add even more to my MST3K section, like more pictures and maybe something more interactive. That's not going to happen anytime soon though, unfortunately. Anyhow, hope you enjoy!

You need a laugh. Or at least a chance to feel pretty grossed out. Well here ya go. Further proof that cats can sleep anywhere.

Great Cooking Websites:
  1. All Recipes is the first site I go to when I need ideas for a meal.
  2. Epicurious has a huge collection of delicious recipes that are suitable for company.
  3. If you like Italian cooking you may be interested in this site. Be sure to check out the rest of that site, too. It's very interesting.
  4. Deb's site is good for anyone who doesn't have a whole lot of time they can dedicate to cooking. It features freezer-friendly meals you can prepare ahead of time and just heat and serve when it's time for dinner.
  5. I haven't made this apple pie yet, but it sounds both easy and delicious. If I ever do make it (and I'm sure I will) I'll write a review about it on here.
  6. Family Time is a really great site that would be perfect for parents with young children. I even have it bookmarked for the future. Hehehe.
  7. Copy Cat lets you recreate those great restaurant meals at home. It's like a dream come true!


Oh, Happy Days Are Here Again

I must admit, today was so perfect that I couldn't complain about anything if I wanted. Except for my pocketbook, which has the annoying habit of constantly sliding off my shoulder. Evil thing. Anyhow, today, instead of a rant, I'm going to leave you with the best jokes I was able to find tonite. Yeah, and since I got them off the internet, they probably suck like a big dog.

A blonde, a brunette, and a redhead all work at the same office for a female boss who always goes home early. "Hey, girls," says the brunette, "let's go home early tomorrow. She'll never know." So the next day, they all leave right after the boss does. The brunette gets some extra gardening done, the redhead goes to a bar, and the blonde goes home to find her husband having sex with the female boss! She quietly sneaks out of the house and returns at her normal time. "That was fun," says the brunette. "We should do it again sometime." "No way," says the blonde. "I almost got caught."

Well, of course, the obligatory blonde joke had to be first. But, I'll be fair. Here's a lawyer joke to make things right with the world.

A lawyer is standing in a long line at the box office. Suddenly, he feels a pair of hands kneading his shoulders, back, and neck. The lawyer turns around. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" "I'm a chiropractor, and I'm just keeping in practice while I'm waiting in line." "Well, I'm a lawyer, but you don't see me screwing the guy in front of me, do you?"

This next part is a little long, but hilarious. I was laughing so hard I almost asphyxiated my chocolate covered honeycomb.

Are You Ready for Children?

Are you considering having children? To determine whether you are truly prepared for the experience, we suggest you take this set of simple tests...

MESS TEST:

Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains. Now rub your hands in the wet flower bed and rub on the walls. Cover the stains with crayons. Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer.

TOY TEST:

Obtain a 55-gallon box of Legos. (If Legos are not available, you may substitute roofing tacks or broken bottles.) Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold. Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream (this could wake a child at night).

GROCERY STORE TEST:

Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best) and take them with you as you shop at the grocery store. Always keep them in sight and pay for anything they eat or damage.

DRESSING TEST:

Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus. Stuff into a small net bag making sure that all arms stay inside.

FEEDING TEST:

Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway with water. Suspend from the ceiling with a stout cord. Start the jug swinging. Try to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal (such as Fruit Loops or Cheerios) into the mouth of the jug while pretending to be an airplane. Now dump the contents of the jug on the floor.

NIGHT TEST:

Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill it with 8 to 12 pounds of sand. Soak it thoroughly in water. At 8:00 PM begin to waltz and hum with the bag until 9:00 PM. Lay down your bag and set your alarm for 10:00 PM. Get up, pick up your bag, and sing every song you have ever heard. Make up about a dozen more and sing these too until 4:00 AM. Set alarm for 5:00 AM. Get up and make breakfast. Keep this up for five years. Look cheerful.

PHYSICAL TEST (WOMEN)

Obtain a large beanbag chair and attach it to the front of your clothes. Leave it there for 9 months. Now remove 10% of the beans.

PHYSICAL TEST (MEN):

Go to the nearest drug store. Set your wallet on the counter. Ask the clerk to help himself. Now proceed to the nearest food store. Go to the head office and arrange for your paycheck to be directly deposited to the store. Purchase a newspaper. Go home and read it quietly for the last time.

FINAL ASSIGNMENT:

Find a couple who already have a small child. Lecture them on how they can improve their discipline, patience, tolerance, toilet training, and child's table manners. Suggest many ways they can improve. Emphasize to them that they should never allow their children to run riot. Enjoy this experience. It will be the last time you will have all the answers.
