SIDEBAR #49 - Arias/Alexander forum

[coffeejunkie]

A farmer lived on a quiet rural highway. But a new expressway bypass meant an alarming increase in traffic. In fact, it was so heavy and so fast that his chickens were being run over at a rate of three a day

So he called the sheriff's office and said, "You've got to do something about these people driving so fast and killing all of my chickens."

So the next day the sheriff went out and put up a sign that read "SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING"

Three days later the farmer called again and said, "You've got to do something about these drivers. The School Crossing sign seems to make them go faster."

So, again, the sheriff went out and put up a new sign "SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY"

No good. So the farmer calls again...and again, every day for three weeks, but the sheriff just doesn't have time to put up signs every week. Finally, the farmer calls and says he’s taken care of the problem.

The sheriff is curious to see how. So he drives out to the farmer's house, and there on the edge of the road he sees a new sign. It's a whole sheet of plywood. And written in large yellow letters are the words "SLOW: NUDIST COLONY"

Ran across this video. I hadn't seen it before and maybe some of you hadn't either.

This precious kitten named Oskar was born blind, and never had a chance to play with toys before. The day after he was adopted, his new parents gave him his first toys: balls with a bell inside them so he can find them more easily. This is what happened next.

When I think I can't see another puppy/kitten video that is any sweeter, along comes something like this. Precious!

Grammie, I must be so old that I have forgotten what energy even is. Sigh ...... I don't know if I could start over with a new baby. But the smiles and joy you are getting must surely be worth the few weeks/months of this.

I just had the worst anniversary ever... I've had bad birthdays before, but not an anniversary. I knew it was a weekday, so wasn't expecting to go out to dinner today, and DD had Honors Night at school tonight. She was balking about going because she got one lone "B", so she lost her 4.0. She's also out of Jazz Band, but that's not why. If you read my WS blog, you'll get the backstory about that. Well she told me she decided to go after all. (I had earlier this afternoon, told her that she still deserved to go because she made the Principal's Honor Roll and that she shouldn't be ashamed, other kids parents were prouder for lesser achievements.) Her GPA was still 3.8, which is pretty darned good. DH "forgot" about Honors night and had to meet us there-turns out that he did get me a dozen roses, a piece of chocolate cake, and a card. It was sad when we got there because Jazz Band was playing without her, and the principal was hyping the kids who kept their 4.0's all the way through middle school, and she had until now, and she will miss out on the special award at graduation because of that. When we got home, DH was a total jerk towards me for it, so I got mad at him, threw the roses in the sink, threw his card unopened into the trash, and didn't touch the cake. I haven't spoken to him all night. I helped DD until 1a.m. finish her school project which is due tomorrow (but that was not her fault) and she was cranky towards me instead of being grateful for the help. I had hoped to go someplace nice for dinner on Sat, but still don't have anyplace in mind, and now that is in jeopardy. Couldn't afford to see the play we wanted (too expensive) and are short on money now. Thank you guys for being my cyber-friends, I'm too embarrassed to post this on Facebook.
Oh,and my laptop's been annoyingly slow loading today.
