These are great

Creative Shopping Bags

Some people’s kids…

So the girl next door comes over and warns me that her cats are now outdoor cats. She said that her and her boyfriend decided to start letting them out of the house during the day so if they are bothering us or in our yard too much to let them know.

Later that evening I notice her outside hanging around her car and then walking over to the lilac bush on this side of the property line. I make supper, check, she’s still there. Finish supper and go and check, still there! I go outside and ask what she’s doing. “I’m trying to catch my cat,” she says. She’s been hanging outside for an hour trying to catch her cat that is supposed to now be an “outdoor cat”. Not sure I understood that one.

Then again, this is the same girl that thought that if her friend drank too much water while pregnant she’d drown the baby…

60 Minutes of Cola

Found on Blisstree.com

Have you ever wondered why Coke comes with a smile? Because it gets you high. They removed the cocaine almost 100 years ago. Why? It was redundant.
Coke

* In the first 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor, allowing you to keep it down.

* 20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat. (And there’s plenty of that at this particular moment.)

* 40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate; your blood pressure rises; as a response, your liver dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked, preventing drowsiness.

* 45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production, stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.

* > 60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium, and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.

* > 60 minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.) It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium, and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolytes, and water.

* > 60 minutes: As the rave inside you dies down, you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like hydrating your system, or building strong bones and teeth.

This will all be followed by a caffeine crash in the next few hours. (As little as two if you’re a smoker.)

Coke itself isn’t the enemy here. It’s the dynamic combo of massive sugar doses combined with caffeine and phosphoric acid, which are found in almost all sodas. Moderation, people!

Caught me today…

9

I’m surprised it took me this long to see this movie considering I love Tim Burton. 9 could have been so much more. For the first hour I felt like I was watching a sequel and had missed the first movie. By the end I did understand most of what was going on but considering how short this movie was there was so much room for more story and character development.

I don’t regret watching it but I will probably not watch it again. I also did not know it is based on a short film…

That’s what you get…

I had to laugh this morning. It’s been raining for 2 days and we have 2 days still to go in this storm. Sleeping in a freezing cold house I wanted my coffee this morning. Due to the rain I decided to zip through the drive through. I’m waiting in line and laugh at the huge line that’s forming behind me, while the inside of the restaurant is basically empty. I think to myself how lazy people are, especially when it rains, and what we will do to stay out of the weather. I pull up to the order box and roll down my window just to be belted by rain. The direction of the wind was just perfect to blow the rain straight into every car that rolls down their window to order. I bet I ended up more wet than if I had just parked and gone inside to order.

I had to laugh, especially as I pulled forward now knowing what every car behind me can now expect after waiting for several minutes in line to avoid the rain. :P

Stars shining bright above you;
Night breezes seem to whisper love you?
Birds singing in the sycamore tree.
Dream a little dream of me.

Say nighty-night and kiss me;
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me.
While I’m alone, blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me.

Stars fading but I linger on, dear—
Still craving your kiss.
I’m longing to linger till dawn, dear,
Just saying this…

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you—
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.

Stars fading but I linger on, dear—
Still craving your kiss.
I’m longing to linger till dawn, dear,
Just saying this…

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you—
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.

The sanctity of…balls?

I was having an argument this evening and thought I’d bring it to the web.

If a man cheats on his wife with another woman (assuming they were happily married) would that warrent a kick in the balls?
