Freaky Frugalite

ROFL! I’ve been a cat owner almost all my life. I LOVE cats, but they can drive me insane! Our kitty Fuzzy is nuts. This cat has shredded my wallpaper, climbed my curtains, and woken us all up at 3am with his noisy antics. We used to have him in the house, but he was banished after he attacked my cockatiel bird. The bird was in a cage, seven feet up hanging from the ceiling, but Fuzzy leaped onto the TOP of the cage! Out out out!

So when I found this video I cracked up. The cat is so cute, but… yeah, I know exactly what the guy means. lol

From the All Cute Cats blog.

Well, I recently criticized Al Gore in a post, and since I’m a fair person, I’ll post something about President Bush. He hasn’t turned out the be the president most thought he would be (he ain’t no Republican, that’s for sure). I guess you could say he’s “falling” in the polls. Check out this game!

LOL!

My kids absolutely LOVE dressing up. They will dress up as anything– David and Goliath, Arabian sheiks, Pilgrims, Founding Fathers, or cowboys and Indians. I loved dressing up as a kid, too. I really liked the cowboys and Indians (I was always an Indian!) and I remember liking to dress up as Laura Ingalls Wilder, with her prairie dresses. As a teenager, I was a huge, huge fan of the Star Wars movies, so I always made my own Star Wars halloween costumes. My kids don’t celebrate halloween, but they love to dress up and I don’t mind it. Except when they use my makeup for “Indian paint.” Heh. They put on some great plays which we have incorporated into our homeschool, under the “drama” and literature subjects.

Our favorite kind of dress up is period costumes. We LOVE history and there is nothing more fun than making history feel “real” by acting out favorite scenes from the Bible, from American history, or ancient history! My eldest is 18 years old, and she still loves to dress up. Therefore, we’re always on the prowl for some good, inexpensive costumes and dress up props, like wigs, hats, and gloves. Halloween Adventure has a terrific promotion going on right now– 5% off an entire purchase! Costumes are for all year ’round!

Holy guacamole! I saw this an my jaw dropped open. The lady makes this look so easy, lol. Can the average person do this?

Love the music, lol. HT My Interesting Files. Now I’ll be haunted for the rest of my life.

Update: Oh here’s a much better video! I think I can do this…..

The population of this country is 300 million.

160 million are retired (or illegally here).

That leaves 140 million to do the work.

There are 85 million in school.

Which leaves 55 million to do the work.

Of this there are 40 million employed by the federal government.

Leaving 15 million to do the work.

2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Osama Bin-Laden.

Which leaves 12.2 million to do the work.

Take from that total the 10.8 million people who work for state and city Governments. And that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.

At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals.

Leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.

Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.

That leaves just two people to do the work.

You and me.

And there you are,

Sitting at your computer,

reading jokes.

Nice. Real nice.

hat tip Living With Me.

I’m not sure if the figures are correct, but it was cute.

Beware! I am in a VERY goofy mood today. I saw this at Health Nut Wannabee Mom and almost flipped my glass sinks. Errr, lid, lol. HILARIOUS!

I love this comic–Close To Home– it’s always great. I think I’ll go read the comics now…

Food for thought on a Sunday….

______________________________

Sunday church service had just finished, and a little girl walked out the building and onto the sidewalk, carrying her Bible. A group of snickering young men sneered at her as she walked past them. One of them, a self-proclaimed skeptic, called out to her.

“Little girl, do you really believe in that Bible”?

“Yes, I do,” she stopped to look at the man.

“Ha! Do you really believe in those stories in the Bible?” he sneered.

“Yes, I do.” she said seriously.

“Ha! Do you really believe that Jonah was swallowed by a whale and spent three days in its belly?”

“Of course I do!” she said.

“If Jonah was really in the belly of the whale, then how did he breathe?” The young man laughed and all his buddies laughed with him.

“I don’t know. When I get to heaven, I’ll ask him.” She smiled a big grin.

“Well, what if he’s not in heaven?” The man continued to mock her.

“Then you can ask him!” She smiled and walked away.

The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post ‘Thou Shalt Not Steal,’ ‘Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,’ and ‘Thou Shalt Not Lie’ in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.

Absentee excuses– these are real absent notices written by parents. Some of these are so weird that you wonder if they are just employee excuses to the boss for playing Titleist golf…

My son is under a doctor’s care and should not take P.E. today. Please execute him.

Please excuse Lisa for being absent. She was sick and I had her shot.

Sally won’t be in school a week from Friday. We have to attend her funeral.

Please excuse Roland from P.E. for a few days. Yesterday he fell out of a tree and misplaced his hip.

John has been absent because he had two teeth taken out of his face.

Carlos was absent yesterday because he was playing football. He was hurt in the growing part.

Megan could not come to school today because she has been bothered by very close veins.

Chris will not be in school cus he has an acre in his side.

Please excuse Ray Friday from school. He has very loose vowels.

This video is titled, “Amazing Driving Skills.” They are incredible! This was done as a promotion for the Hyundai, but you’d never know. It’s like the cars are dancing– like a car ballet!

I saw this funny video at RodneyOlsen.net. He said it made him laugh. It is very funny! So I contributed my hearty guffaws from the other side of the world.

After watching this, one can only conclude:

1. The owners are terribly mean to their cats.
2. They’ve invented a wonderful new way to keep your cats slim and trim.
3. These people are really, really bored.

LOL! It’s a great video. I’m amazed that the dark kitty was so persistent! Better get these kitties some used Harleys, they’re ready to roll, baby!

Chilly from On the Bricks tagged for a silly meme.

First, here are the rules:

1. link the person(s) who tagged you
2. Mention the rules on your blog
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged.

OK… hmmm… unspectacular… this will be easy, lol.

1. I am a hand-washing FREAK. I wash my hands about 100 times a day: before and after I handle laundry; after I touch an animal; after I comb my hair; and I never touch my computer mouse without sparkling clean hands. I learned to wash my hands from my step-dad, who was another freak. I grew up in a big family, and when one kid got sick, we all got sick. So we washed frequently. When I got married, my husband was NOT a hand-washing freak. I’m pretty amazed at how filthy he allowed his hands to get– and then he would try to touch me or eat– gak!!! He used to get so mad at me when I nagged him to wash his hands after playing with the dog or coming home from work; now he just smiles and washes.

(OK, I’m going to have to keep my answers shorter or this meme will take forever)…

2. Despite my uber-hand-cleanliness, I sometimes go all day without combing my hair. (But it still looks OK, for some reason)

3. I research almost everything. If we watch a movie about Wyatt Earp, then I have look him up in the encyclopedia and read about his life. I have an insatiable desire to know things.

4. I do not clip my fingernails; I bite them.

5. I like sugar in my coffee but hate sugar in my tea.

6. I like to do laundry. I like to wash clothes and hang them outside. It is so nice to be outside and feel the sun shining on my skin and then smell the fresh clothing when I take it off the clothesline. On the other hand, I hate washing bathrooms, sweeping, dusting, mopping, and….

Whew, that was harder than it looks! I’m going to tag Carole of Carole’s Thoughtful Spot, because she wanted to do a meme. Enjoy!
