I do not say a proverb is amiss when aptly and reasonably applied, but to be forever discharging them, right or wrong, hit or
miss, renders conversation insipid and vulgar.
Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616)
And I will repeat, and take poetic license with the remainder.
As adults, our youngest now 30 (OUCH!!!) I repeat, my children are not average, and to carry it one generation further, my grandchildren are not average either.

I understand now Dad
Wednesday, February 03, 2010
Back in highschool when you would ground me when I got a C on my report card I would get soooooo mad. I remember stomping around saying I shouldn't get grounded C's are average. I don't know if you remeber what you used to say, but it always made me furious. You looked at me and calmly replyed "My childrenn are not average. I would go to my room and think very mean thoughts and be very very grumpy.
Now that I have kidsof my own I completely understand. I have said very nearly those same words to Tony.
So, and apology to you Dad for all the griping and a thank you for never allowing me to get away with working below my abilities.

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For several years , I earn money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.

HURRAH FOR FRANK
Tuesday, February 02, 2010
I am taling to Frank as I type and am climbing the wall with PRIDE and HAPPINESS for Frankie.
He has just gotten a new MOS (job) and will be working with soldiers coming back from Iraq and Afganistan on rehab.
He is just extactic!!! He has the "happiest" voice since he came back from Germany!!!! He feels this will finally get him on track for a promotion to E-7, something that was going to all but impossible to get in his current position.
For those of you who are miltary, were military or have been very close to the military understands that Franie has been an E-6, which is comprble to being a Freshman in high school. You move from a position where you were top dog as an E-5, highest in the "non-com" niche.
He has been so UNHAPPY after coming back and has been discriminated against because of his "disability", i.e. limited loss of hearing, (LISTEN YONG PEOPLE, FRANKIE BLASTED HIS RADIO IN HIS CAR FOR YEARS AND NOW HAS PERMANENT HEARING LOSS) and is not "deployable" he cannot be assigned to an overseas unit, making further advancement.
SO HURRAH FOR FRANKIE!!!!!
(I did not proof-read this, so ignore them.)

"The Rack"
Sunday, January 31, 2010
" I cant wait for the rack!"
This phrase was exclaimed by Leo, after I told them the could have a miniture dog, like their friends dog after deployment. Somehow Iraq sounds a lot like the rack to Leo. Also, said, yes, and i get to use dads computer while he is gone! Shoot, and i thought they were going to have trouble with this!

Good Sunday morning!

Another week, another dollar...almost....
Since we were in Denton for the Blizzard of 2009, this is our first major storm this winter season. I ended up coming home at noon on Thursday, getting groceries on the way home and filling up the car..and have not left since. We still have about 5 inches of snow/ice on the ground. I think the roads are ok now, just have not driven or walked down the driveway to see. I do have to go into work in the morning, so I hope I can back out...
I have probably gained about 10 pounds..I have cooked and baked for the first time in about 5 years! Chili, meatloaf, cookies, cakes and today turkey breast...sigh....
I have to get out and get some work done today. Well, I did a tiny bit of paint poured yesterday, but am waiting for glass to get here on Tuesday. Today I need to pour some bisque and will drag myself up there in a bit...We have a heater going in that building but it is still very cold.
We still are fostering "Bubba", the little kitty that belongs to the little boy that was in a car accident and his mother died. Likely the family that is taking him will not be able to take the cat, to another member of his family is looking for a new home for Bubba. He has been staying with William in his room and now will not go to anyone BUT William. We opened up the door last night to let him have the run of the house and allow the cats to become acquainted, but Bubba just ran under our bed and would not go to anyone but William.
Well, I better get moving...lots to do and now little time, as I have spent 3 days not doing much of anything!
