WHINE

Two mornings ago I awoke to an incredibly loud PHWAP - PHWAP - PHWAP outside. I looked out the window, and there was a huge helicopter flying over my home. It had two big propellers and clearly it meant business. Serious fire-fighting business.Yesterday I was driving with the windows open, and I pulled up to an intersection. I realized the guy in the car next had a cigarette in his hand, which was

Predator Press [LOBO] Poink! “Ouch!” Scowling, I turn to LadyTerri. “What the heck was that?” Smiling coyly, she dangles a tiny stiff fiber in my face. A gray hair. “LIAR!” I scream, seizing at the damning evidence. But she’s the picture of health and prepared for my reaction; scampering deftly out of reach, she’s fully exited the room before I can even rise t

So today I am at the park with a group of other mommy friends and one, whom I am pretty close to, starts telling me about how her hubby has been a real pain in the ass lately. I can sympathize, as you all know....so we start talking about it and then I end with saying, "all men are jerks." Now, I know some men are not jerks but I was making a general statement to make her feel like she

Tough crap, Terrorists set up near Hospital, Terrorists get taken out, Hospital gets damaged, oh well.. Go read. If we'd nuked that Country and Afghanistan we wouldn't be in this mess, it worked for Japan. What gets me is how the damn Liberal commies are bitching about it. Cry me a stinking river, coward defeatists.

On this edition of Life’s Best with Nathan, I’m going to rant on about some things that I’m either musing about, pissed about, or generally wanting to talk about. It’s gonna be random, it’s gonna be odd, and it’ll be mostly me, complaining. You cool with that? [...]

So here's the thing puppers, my ma likes her wine and is always grumblin about the prices here in Canada so she's gonna have some wine made, yep.....made.It's actually a pretty popular thing here in Canada and I guess they figure at least this is one way to survive the winters here...... in moderation of course. Anyway, with this whole 'getting wine made thing', my mom's making a label for the bottle with my picture of course, and I figured I get your woofs on it.So leave me a comment and let me know if it's paws up or down!Cheers, GunnerThe life and times of Gunner and 8 year old black lab.

So, this Saturday we went to the grocery store. When we got home and I was putting away the food I found that a pack of chicken I had bought hadn't made it home. That was 5 days worth of meat, and we only get groceries once a week. We called the store and told them, spoke with a manager. But Robert wasn't planning on going back to get my food, so I don't know what he expects me to eat for the second week. Today I went Christmas shopping. We had already done his mom and dad, so I just had him to buy for. I went out and spent almost $70 on him today. Well, he starts yelling at me from the moment I got home. Of course I started yelling back. See, he had realized that they had left out a couple of packs of his fish as well as my chicken, and the shit had hit the fan. He was screaming at someone on the phone and started screaming at me too. We got in a huge argument about how someone should loose their job blah, blah, blah. I have a tendency to defend cashiers so I was taking h

I’m so tired of hobbling around. I’m using this new cream, Pain Bust R II, and it’s pretty good. It smells just like the old BenGay cream, but it goes to work really fast. And I think it stays warmer for a much longer time. Back when I used BenGay as a kid, [...]

I could use a glass of wine…because Eli is driving me to drink. Eli has begun a new campaign of whining to get his way. It is like a war of attrition…how many whine bombs can this nation take before surrendering? I actually asked my son if he wanted some cheese with his Whine today and he said yes….oh man….he said yes. I am being sarcastic as hell and he is answering me in a manner that frustrates me more. The answer was to tackle him and give him hugs and kisses. It ended the whining and made me smile and him giggle…but damn, he is a formidable opponent.

There is an email going around about the movie The Golden Compass. Like many typical Christian calls to action or warning, this one is steeped in fear. Several versions of the email exist, but all screech out for a mass boycott of a movie that no one has even seen yet. The text from the most comprehensive version: Please consider a boycott of this movie “The Golden Compass” and the books. Also, pass this information along to everyone you know (including church leaders). This will help to educate parents, so that they will know the agenda of the movie. I am sending this to those of you who have kids or friends with kids, grandkids or have influence with kids. So many things today are darkness concealed in what appears to be innocent FYI. There will be a new children’s movie out in December called “The Golden Compass”. The movie has been described as “atheism for kids” and is based on the first book of a trilogy entitled “His Dark Materi

Its been a strange week, nothing seems to have happened yet the reality is quite to the contrary. Like I said strange, huh?There are a few things I have not been able to get my head around. Firstly and my main complaint has to be the aggressive generic letters I have received. One from the TV licensing company telling me to ‘cough up or else’ or alternatively if I don’t have a TV (which I don’t) I should inform them by ringing their premium rate number. Fuck off will I, they can waste their money sending more generic letters that I’ll ignore.Secondly the ‘Dear Resident’ letter I received from the beloved site manager team, yes those fuckers. They have decided to tell me to stop smoking cigarettes, cigars, pipes and hookah (which they informed me is another word for shisha). I don’t particularly care if the other students covertly smoke out of their bedroom windows, but I don’t appreciate the site manager team’s indiscriminate approach to heckling the non-smokers.I w

I realized that I never wrote about the great meal planning site I’ve been using! I tried doing meal planning on my own, and failed horribly. Picky eaters, tight budget, and lack of creativity in putting together meals just added up to a disaster. So I gave up. Then a friend emailed me that she started using Dine Without Whine. It’s a meal planning site, where you get weekly menus and grocery lists emailed to you. See, no creativity or planning required! The reason I suddenly remember and wanted to write about it was because of 2 updates they sent me. One announcing that they now are offering gift certificates. What’s cool is they can be ordered now and set to be sent later. You order, and then the system sends an e-mail, personal message from you, and gift code to your receiver. You can set this up to be delivered on whatever date you choose. So for instance, you can order today and have it delivered via e-mail on Christmas day to the recipient if you’d like. C

we closed on our refi loan today. i’m SO glad this is finally over. at least i HOPE it’s finally over! would you believe that the the second place that contacted us (one of the two we had whittled down to) in the beginning called AGAIN this evening?!!? it was interesting though, that the dude who’s been “handling” us all this time and who argued with tommy over why we would be “disloyal” after he’d been “so honest” and had “talked straight with us and not tried to one-up the other guy” over “only” twelve bucks now has some woman calling. gah!! i could go on with what all this guy said, but the stickler was that ‘only twelve bucks’… difference in payment, that is. um, dude? $12 x 240 = $2,880 (we plan to pay off before that, though, Lord willing!) well, shoot, if he’s got that kinda money he should just mail it on over and we’ll go with his loan! i wish we’d

Mr. Honeybell and I have always been sleep deprived. When you have kids, and especially when you work nights, it just comes with the territory. However our sleep deprivation has increased so much since I began school, it is unreal. Get prepared, for you are about to read the mundane description of my fatigued existence.Saturday:7:00am- Wake Sporty and Goofy with a cheerful attitude. Feed healthy breakfast and prepare them for soccer games.9:00am- Soccer Games ("YAY! Go You! Great Job!")11:45am- Prepare hot, nutritious lunch for four boys and husband.12:30pm- Clean house, laundry, play with Monkey.2:00pm- Grocery Store3:30pm- Weep over $300 spent on groceries that will last a week and a half.4:00pm- Get ready for work (shower, straighten hair, make-up).5:00pm- Thoughtful babysitting grandparents have arranged for supper.5:30pm-6:00am- Work, have fun with new baby, enjoy time with friends and co-workers.Sunday:8:00am- Sleep11:30am- Be awakened by children.

Ugh! I had no idea there would be so many major and minor complications in the set-up and transfer to my own domain! It ended up being rather easy to set up the domain and web host, and relatively inexpensive. It took maybe an hour or so, plus a few hours of shopping around. Designing the new blog banner took up the better part of a Saturday, but I’m pretty happy with it. It’s a good start, anyway. Choosing a “theme” for WordPress continues to be an ongoing drama. Unfortunately, I have some vague and some specific ideas of what I want, and I must have looked at 300 or more themes trying to find one that was just right. Relatively minimalistic, single sidebar; how difficult could the choice be? Don’t get me started. Finally, I downloaded one, and to my great shock, it’s coded in PHP instead of the CSS/HTML combination that my Blogger template is written in. So in order to customize it at all, I’ve been teaching myself PHP. Did I mention ugh??? I

I'm going to take a minute and whine (yes, I'd safely put this under the category of whining) but along with whining there's the lesson behind it (ok, my motherly instincts are also at work here, I see) and so, I will make this brief, but instructive.So that I don't trash any particular allied professional, as I must say, from the architect to the helper who sweeps the jobsite clean every day, and everyone in between, including myself, we all have our day in the sun where we can screw up on a (hopefully, teeny tiny) part of a client's project. However, with luck and concentration, those times are few and far between, IF we follow this advice below regarding email communication. It is important for the unnamed (above) to do a few simple things in an effort to make a project progress in a timely and responsible way. This advice absolutely goes for clients too (you have responsibilities too!) 1. If an email is received with specific information in it, read it...carefully. Don't

While I am often a critic of the Bush administration and have no problem with saying that they have screwed up in Iraq pretty bad since about day 1 do give them credit when due. And so I have to wonder if the left is really as clueless as they come across about military actions. The old saying is that “No plan survives contact with the enemy". And when contact is made plans have to be modified and changed. So on the one hand they constantly whine that Bush refuses to make changes due to being so stubborn and on the other hand they are complaining when he does make changes. Hey you whiny bitches which is it? There have been a number of times that changes to plans have shortened expected completion times and did they complain about that too? No, not a peep at the successes of the Bush administration. But no real shock there. ~RJH The Carpetbagger Report article link Bush gang to nation: Did we say ‘September’?

My neighbors/resident slobs, who have so much CRAP on their property right next to OUR property (and thank GOODNESS the trees and shrubs are all grown in and have covered my view of a lot of it) just installed a POOL! Not only do I (and anyone visiting) have to see their land of ca-ca, but now I get to hear those 3 neighbor-kids-devilspawn SCREAMING from the depths of their smaller INTESTINES every afternoon!They were so loud AGAIN today!Now I'm all for happy kids. But is THIS how my summer afternoons will be filled? With screaming children? Don't they know that I have 1 kid who needs a nap every day? Hm?Five things that'll take my mind off of IRRITATIONS:1. Could be worse. I could have really ugly, sweaty neighbors doing belly-flops into their pool for my enjoyment.2. Could be worse. I could be without central air, so I would have to keep my windows open this summer and hear all sorts of stuff without escape. And their pool could be RIGHT outside my window. EEK!3. Could

Last week this guy I know was moaning how inconsiderate the government was being in not promptly processing his passport application. Now, ordinarily bitching about the government gets a sympathetic ear from meBut not this time.In January, the government started requiring passports for travel to Mexico, Canada, Bermuda and the Caribbean. And when the deadline hit, everyone who had a vacation planned, ran down to the post office, and this has caused a major delay in their issuance.But cripes, it was not exactly like this was news to anyone. It was reported ad nauseum on the news for months before the deadline arrived.And if I was dictator of this great country it would be tough shit.If you decided to be a lazy dufus then maybe you don't get to go on that vacation this year. After all it does not exactly horrify me the government is trying to take a simple step to make the country a little safer. Admittedly it is not much, but it’s pretty basic.I really don't know why people haven'

Vladimir Putin must be beside himself with the possibility of Georgia and the Ukraine both joining NATO. No doubt he sees his country being slowly surrounded by enemies. We cant forget that Putin was the chief of the KGB while the Soviet Union was still in existence. Democracy has taken a u-turn under him and supposedly he has already picked a successor. So much for elections and such silly nonsense in Mother Russia I guess. But the main part of the story is the arrival of the Secretary General of NATO Jaap de Hoop Scheffer at the Presidents private residence at Crawford, Texas. I can hear the whining of the left at the thought of this oh so dignified euro being driven around by Bush in his pick-em up truck. By the way from the pic it looks to be a Ford truck too. Not sure which model though. ~RJH MyWay news article link NATO Leader Visits Bush at Texas RanchMay 20, 9:48 PM (ET)By BEN FELLERCRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - A relaxed President Bush welcomed NATO's top diplomat to his ranch Sunda

Alas, my happy-go-lucky streak came to a screaming halt today.Literally. There was screaming.Combining tapioca pudding, potting soil, and a headache of monumental proportions makes for a very cranky Kim.Add to that not a single e-mail or phone call all day, and paranoid delusions start to set it. Maybe, just maybe, I'm not as awesome as I was starting to hope I was.I'm torn between wanting to cry and wanting to laugh at what a silly schmuck I am. This is a huge improvement. Even just a few months ago, laughing wouldn't have seemed a viable option. I think I'm going to go find some chocolate now.

Okay, so I’ve been such a big baby about my PR going down that I’ve been in a big blogging slump, as far as sponsored posts are concerned. Perhaps you’ve noticed. Perhaps you’ve found it refreshing to come to my blog and just read about potty training and shopping at Wal-Mart and the finer points of the show Heroes, instead of witty little reviews about products and services. Yeah, well, don’t get used to it! I’m trying to hike up my big girl panties and soldier on. Back on the horse I go! And this little tidbit from PPP just caught my eye: Bid4Prizes is sponsoring HDTV Tuesday at Pay Per Post. Tomorrow, May 15th, Pay Per Post posties will be able to snag opps with prizes attached, such as a Slingbox (I have no idea what that is, but it sounds cool), Nintendo Wii (I *do* know what that is, and it IS cool!), a Yamaha Surround Sound System or a Logitech universal remote.

I’ve come to the realization that some people are born complainers. Not born to be wild, but born to whine. They complain and whine about everything. If they have to work an extra few hours, they complain. If they have to work on a weekend occasionally, they complain. If they don’t have enough work to keep busy, they complain. If it’s not sunny enough outside, they complain. If it’s gloriously sunny, it’s “too” sunny. If it hasn’t rained in a while, they complain. If it rains a lot after a long dry spell, then it’s raining “too” much. Everything is an inconvenience—or injustice—that they take to heart, as if meant specifically for them. What amazes me about complainers is they complain about things beyond their control—or anyone’s control for that matter. The things they complain about which are in their control, they do little about—except, of course, complain. These are the folks that are lucky enough to go on a nice vacation and then co

If you want more info about Kat, hit her up on myspace and check out her brief bio below. Good stuff.Windows Media: AudioReal Player: AudioBrief BiographyKAT is the girl next door, no matter where you're from. To say shes a crossover artist is an understatement. Hip hop, R&B, Merengue, Pop, Spanish Jazz, Ballads, and Dance, she does it all; in English and Spanish. Want proof? R&B superstar R. Kelly called her a "prodigy" and the famous Salvadorian singer Alvaro Torres referred to her as Selena. At age 12 she was invited by the "Queen of Merengue" Milly Quezada, to sing with her on stage in front of thousands of people, and in April of 2004 she opened for J Records recording artist Cassidy as part of the all Latino girl group Coquette. All this, and KAT is only 19 years old.

My kids are positively eating us out of house and home. I’m not kidding. Especially the LITTLE girls! You’d think they’d eat the least amount, but no. They eat almost as much as I do! I just bought bread two days ago, and the loaf is gone. That’s a lot of cinnamon toast and PB&Js. And what they love more than anything is fruit salad. They even have a little board book with a color photograph of a bowl of fruit salad on one of the pages, and they’re always showing it to me, “Yook, mama! Fwoot Sawad!” But fruit is SO danged expensive!! I made a fruit salad a week or so ago, just out of grapes, strawberries, cantaloupe, with a can of mandarin oranges stirred in and some sliced banana on top, and the kids ate THE ENTIRE HUGE BOWL over lunch and dinner. That was a good ten dollars worth of fruit, right there. No wonder so many parents end up feeding their kids a bunch of junk - it costs so much less!! Would it be bad parenting to crush up ionami

I’m still here, and still mostly alive.  At least I think I’m alive.  Maybe I died and went to hell.  It’s got to be so much the same that I’d probably never notice. I’ve found myself spending less and less and less time online.  For a period of 4 days I didn’t log on once, not even to check my e-mail.  That’s very much unlike me. I’ve been spending most of my evenings watching tv.  At 6:30 its “The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy” on Cartoon Network, and most nights Spike TV has CSI from 7 to 9.  And this week, all new Animal Cops on Animal Planet.  Woo Hoo! Yep, I’ve become a sofa potato. That, and I’ve been playing Final Fantasy X again.  One day I’ll beat it, but not as long as the big beasties keep kicking my ass. Been reading too (as my previous 2 posts show) but slower than I used to.  Only finishing 2 or 3 books every 3 weeks, when I used to get between 6 and 8 read in that time. This past Friday Ellen (from work) talked me into going out

Yesterday on WFAN's Mike and the Mad Dog show, Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees talked candidly about his time in New York - the play he's been happy with, the play he hasn't, batting eighth in the playoff last year, last season's Sports Illustrated article, and his future. This morning, reports of that interview are everywhere. And WFAN mid morning hosts Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts have

The other week, after I had written that post about parental vanity, I remarked to my husband that I was a bit concerned about ending that post on a down note. It was hard, I said to him after publishing the post, to find a way to end that discussion without getting all sad and low and woe-is-me... 'Sad and low and woe-is-me'? he replied, his tongue not-quite-firmly-in-cheek. Isn't that your

I'm feeling… tired. And frankly. Overwhelmed with my life. I want to look as though I have it all together, when I don't. I just don't. Every child needs something different from me. And that's hard. Isaiah acts up whenever he gets around kids older than him. I don't know what to do. Malachi is emotional, and a lot like me… which annoys me - and it shouldn't. And I hate that. Josiah refuses to eat. I hate letting him go hungry when he won't eat, but I don't want to give in and let him have snacks either. I don't know what to do. The kid is going to starve. Elijah is all stuffed up. I hate that I can't fix it. Boys are loud. Boys have a lot of energy. Boys are rambunctious. Boys are rowdy. Boys think gross things are funny. I'm a girl…(who grew up with ALL sisters I might add) and I don't always get it. And I want them to be quite. And I want them to think gross things are gross… and therefo

You read stories about coaches at the youth sports level being happy when the school that they work for hires an athletic trainer. The coaches state that it takes a load off their minds of having to decide whether or not a player can go back in the game. Based on that, and maybe this is too simplistic an approach, but where were the trainers at the Tampa Bay/Carolina game Sunday? Don't the

I know Bill Belichick has three Super Bowl wins. I understand that he has demonstrated his coaching ability as a defesnive coordinator and as a head coach. But can a guy be more of a jerk than he is?

I can help it. I feel bad for Mike Tyson, a mega-star so screwed up it's beyond belief. Go ahead, ask it. Why? He's just a street hood who is living the way he would have lived had Cus D'Amato not discovered him and become his legal guardian in 1984. He was in plenty of trouble up to that time. We would have never heard of Mike Tyson had it not been for D'Amato and we wouldn't be talking about

I saved this for whine day because that's what Allen Iverson is doing. The Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers are not winning, and Iverson, the prima donna and thug that he is, wants out - despite his contract to play for the Sixers. That is apparently what you do when you are making millions of dollars a year and things aren't going right. But here's the best part...the Sixers have told Iverson not to

In her Feb. 1 newspaper column, which I actually read in the Waterbury Republican-American Feb.5, Kathleen Parker writes of how Barbaro captured the imagination of the public as he battled to recover from a bad leg break suffered in the Preakness Stakes race in 2006. She discusses how everyone has some connection to a horse, and that this Barbaro may have been "right horse at the right time" as
