No Cure For Stupid

Sadly this is proof that there is no cure for stupid!!

Videos

When is the last time you watched a video download from youtube? I don't go there a lot, but do occasionally enjoy watching different videos there. Some I watch are educational and some are just plain funny. For example, yesterday i watched a video that taught me how to back up my Bookmarks in Firefox so that my laptop can be reformatted and then my bookmarks can be returned to where they need to be fore me to use them when I want/need them. I found it a very easy to follow and most helpful video. The funny videos are many, including Russel Peters and the hilarious Jeff Dunham and his band of puppets.

Climate Change Video

This is a most interesting video and I think it effects everyone on Earth today.

To Everything There Is A Season

To everything there is a season... a time to be depressed, a time to again find the joy & love life has for us..... a time to make new friends, a time to reunite with 'old' friends.... a time to think we are separate, a time to know we are all ONE!!

Too awesome!!

I am grateful the seasons of my life have been passing by.... I would not want to be 25 again or any other of those bygone ages.
I am grateful my time to have a life filled with joy & love has evolved to where it is. I love life!!
I am grateful for the new friends I make.
I am grateful to be re-united with an 'old' friend I've known for something like 40 years
I am grateful to FaceBook for making it possible to hook up with friends... old & new.
I am grateful for the blue skies & sunshine today.
I am grateful for the beauty of the snow on the hills around me while my yard is nearly snow free.
I am grateful for each of my friends that come here & read my blog.
I am grateful for all my 'critters' around me.
I am grateful that, through shifting things in my home, I finally have 'the big cage' in the living room... Angel & Stud Muffin are finally out here too.
I am grateful I have so many things to be grateful for.
I am grateful I don't have time just now to give a full list of things I'm grateful for. ;o)

Another Celebrity Passed On...

This post is to honor
Patrick Wayne Swayze
August 18, 1952 – September 14, 2009

American actor, dancer and singer-songwriter, he was best-known for his roles as romantic leading men in the films Dirty Dancing and Ghost and as Orry Main in the North and South television miniseries. He was listed by People magazine as its "Sexiest Man Alive" in 1991.

Diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer in January 2008, Swayze told Barbara Walters a year later that he was "kicking it". However, he died from the disease on September 14, 2009. His last role was the lead in an A&E TV series, The Beast, which premiered on January 15, 2009. Due to a prolonged decline in health, Swayze was unable to promote the series, and on June 15, 2009, Entertainment Tonight reported that the show had been canceled.

Swayze was married to Lisa Niemi from June 12, 1975 until his death. The couple first met in 1970 when Swayze was 18 years old. Niemi, 14 years old at the time, was taking dance lessons from Swayze's mother. Swayze and Niemi had no children.

(The above was taken from Wikipedia and there is a lot more there to read about Patrick. The photos were all taken from his Official Fan Club website, loads more great photos etc of Patrick there too.)

My heart goes out to Patrick's wife Lisa, and to his family and friends.
He will be missed by all his fans.

Stuff & Such

Hmmmm.... just had to moderate 4 posts. Rejected them all. They were all from 'Anonymous' and in another language. Like I'd allow any of those on my blog. Sheeeesh!! It is because of spammers like this that I have to moderate my blogs all the time instead of just letting them all post automatically. Anyway......

In early July I went to the US, to Washington State to be exact, for the 4th weekend. One the way back, I picked up a porcelain tile that says "My House Was Clean Yesterday, Sorry You Missed It." It has a drawing of a house that is terribly messy. Kinda reminds me of my place :o(

And on a more cheerful note.... I'm going to Omak to the Stampede & Suicide Race! In all the times I've seen the Suicide Race, I've seen a couple times where a horse fell, though none where any horse was hurt. Just now as I was over at YouTube getting a movie of the race for you to watch, I watched one done by the Humane Society. They only showed 2 crashes, though they showed them over & over & over as they talked about how cruel this event is to the horses and that over the many years of the race, there has been 15 recorded horse deaths. Now I'm not so sure I want to see the race any more. I do love horses. From what I've seen I didn't really think it was so bad, though that video sure makes it look/sound cruel.

Here is a video for you that is not by the Humane Society or any other group of that nature. In this there aren't any bad crashes or horses injured. This is more like the races I've seen over the last 4 or 5 years and I usually watch 2 races each year.



I was thinking I would not be going this year, however, I do have just over $70us left from before, so there's spending money... just need gas money. Today as I was driving to visit Mom, I sent thoughts to the Universe that if I found some money for gas, like maybe laying on the street or something, I would go. It takes about $50-60 for gas to Oliver BC, then I go down to Omak with Mike in his motor home. While at Mom's I did some work for her. I scraped old paint off the railing along the wheelchair ramp, then painted it and later swept the area. It needs another coat of paint, in my opinion, and I will do that next week when I go up there again. Later, Mom hands me 3 $20 bills and insist I take them for doing the work for her. GAS MONEY!! So I phoned Mike to tell him. He's leaving a day early as he didn't think I was going, so now I have to drive all the way to Omak in my truck and meet him there. Oh well, not all that bad. I think it's about a 45 minute drive, give or take a bit. You'd think I'd know, having gone there 4 or 5 times, but I wasn't driving and didn't pay attention to the time it took. I know Mike often drives to Omak just to shop, so can't be all that far. I actually rather like the idea of having my own truck there. Guess I better clean it all out before I go as there are a lot of things in there that don't need to be, I've been planning to clean it for some time now. Better not to cross the border with anything more than needed.

Well, off to bed now. I have to get up tomorrow and head north to my TOPS meeting, then come back and clean the truck, pack, take care of my animals, and head out. Or I might wait until Friday morning to leave even though Mike will likely be expecting me sometime tomorrow. Maybe I'll try calling him when I get up and see if he's left yet.... hmmmm.

TTYS.

My Speech on Video

Finally, here is the video I've told you would be here soon. To learn more about what this video is, just read the post "My Speech". Click on that link or simply scroll down just a short ways.

Poseidon's Fury

Here is another of the videos I took at the Dragon Boat Festival on Saturday.

Notice how they all paddle in time. Well, almost all anyway. One fellow in the back is 'canoe' paddling while the rest are 'dragon boat paddling'. There is a real big difference, and since he's been canoing for some 30 years I guess it's hard to break old habits. In the race I paddled in, I was right behind him so kept hitting paddles with him and at one point got the paddles tangled. To compensate for that I had to change my way of paddling and ended up over working my right arm rather than using my body to pull the weight of the water. No blame, just a fact. Until I saw this video I didn't really know for sure if it was him or me, though I did have my strong suspicions, lol.

We Have Allignment! GO!

At the Dragon Boat Races, I took some photos and some videos. I decided to post some of the videos onto YouTube so I can show them to you here. I know we're supposed to be able to upload videos not on YouTube, but I find it much easier this way. It actually works, haha.

This is of the first race Poseidon's Fury (the team I'm on) was in. This race they were in boat #1, though were in a different boat each race.

Good News of the Day:
Prospective newlyweds in an Indonesian province are giving one more promise: planting trees to help slow the rapid deterioration of the country's forests. Khairul Baso and his fiancee, Andini, who received two 6-month-old teak trees along with palm, fruit and flower seedlings ahead of their wedding this weekend are one of nearly 900 couples in Gorontalo's district. Planting a tree before marriage is part of a nationwide "re-greening" initiative launched by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. [ more ]

Plant something this week.

Manic Monday - Quake

Today, Morgen (a.k.a. Mo) at It's A Blog Eat Blog World, has given us the word quake to post about and have some fun with for his Manic Monday Meme (or Challenge, if you prefer).

As any of you 'regulars' know, I strive to be a little different, unique. I hope I've succeeded with this video from YouTube.

Happy Manic Monday!!

Please Santa, pick ME!

I've had some fun this evening.

First, I was reading the web site of ___________, and drooling a bunch over the gorgeous __________ . Not only is it the most awesome ______, one I'd love to have, but this _________ comes in 'funky' colors, as do other of their kitchen small appliances. I would love them all... in Apple green, or Moroccan red, or maybe Sugar.

Then I made a video and that was such fun. I had to do the camera work and the 'baking lesson' both at the same time. Would likely have been better if I had a camera person, but none of my critters would do it for me. So here it is... what do you think??




Now, __________ too. It's what impressed me and inspired me to make my video.

If you've liked these videos, why not go find out more about the ___________, see the different colors it comes in, and what other small appliances come in the same color. These would make awesome gifts in December's holiday season... especially for yourself.
