Saturday. Have been hearing angry music blaring all day in cars, head bobbing to indecipherible lyrics.
To me it sounds like
"You took my FritoLays, so im gonna blow your brains out.
This society... confiscating...the last remaining....shreds of my pringles in the box"

Does this song get a Grammy for expressing the 'angst of our generation'?

Couldn't help wondering what if the penguin could rap
"Yo homosapiens.....spewing oil in the oceans....this is my soil
Get your bobbing heads out....scram the chips you lazy lout"
-

I hear ya---but the lyrics don't even bother me as much as the bass that is turned up so high that it makes the inside of your ears bleed.....when a car rolls up behind me with THAT noise, I get really irritable. AWFUL....

Yesterday the soft rock station played "Afternoon Delight". I had never listened closely to the lyrics. I got the giggles.

Things in this area are named strangely. There's a fast food chain called "Beefaroo".

Yesterday we passed a nursery called "Ack Ack Nursery". I said to my cousin, "Chris, do you think that's onomatopoeic? I would not want to work there and answer the phone."

Down the road was "Jumpback Floorcoverings". I asked if there was a "Somebody Stop Me Appliances."

Then my cousin pointed out that DLX Storage was advertising "large units."

There was a restaurant in the city where I went to college--when it went up for sale I always got the giggles when passing by and seeing the sign:
"ARGENTINA FOR SALE"

My daughter would KILL me if she knew I posted this but I have to because it is hilarious......she and my son and I were discussing something and the "study of God" came up...my son said something about "theology" and my daughter goes, "Isn't theology just the study of big words?"

In my house, I have made it a point to make the Bible and church and Christianity something that is touchable, real, and no one gets strung up for asking questions.....my daughter tried to explain herself as my son and I were laughing, "But, theology always has all those big words....it's the study of BIG WORDS...!"
Oh well--guess ya had to be there...!!!!

That's great Janel. I wish my parents were like that. I commend you for raising your kids that way


I have a story (This is true I swear): I walked into my sisters room to tuck her in for bed she was 6 at the time and she said "Bubby, Is God a good witch or a bad witch" I go
"What in the world are you talking about?"
And she says "well, In the bible is says ' Do that which is good and not that which is evil." I started busting up laughing I coudn't give a staight answer!

SO CUTE!!!

We don't sing hymns at our church--we sing "worship songs", really awesome stuff--but I grew up singing them....anyway, I heard a story of a little tyke on a mid-week service during an informal "request a hymn" raise her hand and request to sing, "O Kinky Turtle". It took everyone a while to figure out that she was requesting "O King Eternal"!!!!!

Lol!!! *Rolls on floor* Ha HA! Thats funny.

Hey--in case anyone is curious, the church I attend has a website http://www.northcoastchurch.com We're a lot less traditional and "user-friendly" than most---really laid-back and stuff. The "venue" that my kids and I attend is "The Edge", if ya happen to poke around a bit in the site, you'll see it! Kickin' music and all the venues serve Starbucks!! How's that for California church-goin'???!!!!

Your church sounds nearly Identical to Mine! Except for the starbuck. We have coffee and doughnuts, and about a million Ministries, But other than that It sounds like almost the exact same kind of layout. I go to KCBT. Try http://www.KCBT.org

Laughing loudly in the library.

My nephew, at the age of 3, told us that Christmas was "...all about the birth of the baby Cheez-Its."

Salvation in the form of a snack cracker!

I love kids.

Hospital story:

On the day of the Teen Choice Awards, this one rather large patient was watching the movie "Nell" in the common room.

Now, I liked "Nell" the first time I saw it, but I'm convinced that it's the most slowly paced movie ever made.

This patient watched the movie TWICE. And we were all a little annoyed by her monopoly on the TV. So, around about the time for the awards to start, she attempted to put the movie in a THIRD time.

I am the epitome of non-confrontational. In fact, I'm a gargantuan chicken.

I walked up to her and said, "No. You've had the TV long enough and if we watch that movie again I'm gonna slip into a coma."

Yes, I messed with someone on a psych ward. In retrospect, WHAT WAS I THINKING?

But she gave up the TV and everyone really enjoyed the awards.
