Ok, now that I have your attention, I am sure everyone knows what that is. It just so happens that last night my husband, aka The Bastard, got a phone call from his brother and his wife was just diagnosed with this nasty, horrible thing. I don’t know enough about the details to comment on anything, but I do I do know that she wasn’t given a very good chance of survival. They have three young kids which makes it even more difficult on them, I am sure. Danny is in the Army and has recently spent some time in Iraq, they just came back to the states and was hit with this. How on earth do you prepare yourself for something like this. You don’t. Danny has had some rough times over the years, and certainly doesn’t derserve this. You have to ask yourself, how do I prepare myself for loosing the love of my life? What a crappy thing to have to do. God, I am so sorry Danny that you and your family have to go through this.
Danny & Michiyo, even though we have never met, my heart and prayers go out to you and your family. I wish there was something that we could do to take your pain away. And I mean that with all my heart.
So with that said, please don’t take your loved ones or your life for granted, one day they may not be there any more.
Please say a prayer for our family, they will need all that they can get.
AVIATION HISTORY
Here’s some Aviation History everyone should know:
You may remember that on July 8, 1947, witnesses claim an unidentified
object with five aliens aboard crashed on a sheep-cattle ranch just
outside Roswell, New Mexico. This is a well known incident that many
say… has been profusely covered up by the Air Force and the US
government.
However……. what you may well NOT know is that on March 31, 1948,
exactly nine months after that historic day, Al Gore was born.
That piece of information now has cleared up a lot of things.

Texas Blue Bonnets Revisited
Well if you read my post http://theblonde.wordpress.com/2006/05/13/texas-blue-bonnets/, you will know that I have been trying, sucessfully I might add, to grow Texas Blue Bonnets in Oregon. I had to trick them into thinking that they were in Texas, and it worked. (See the above mentioned post for details.)
Ladies and gentlemen, my Texas-Oregon Blue Bonnets. Next years crop will be bigger and better!

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
IQ Test
The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a professional. Scroll down for each answer.The questions are NOT that difficult. Don’t scroll down UNTIL you have answered the question!
1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.
2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?Did you say, “Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator?”Wrong Answer.Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.
3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend… except one. Which animal does not attend?Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there. This tests your memory. Okay, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities.
4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.
According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four-year-old!!

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming– WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!
