Face book and the election

Today all I have is a couple questions about political ads and mudslinging on face book.

Would those political ads ever change your mind about what you think about the candidates and how you will vote?

Do you dislike negative ads as much as I do?

I look forward to your answers, be honest I can take it.

Honey Boo Boo

Oh my gosh what has the learning channel done now? I watched the premiere episode  and Wow! just Wow! Alana, (Honey Boo Boo) a 6 year old pageant contestant and her family. There is Mama June, (I felt that Mama June was actually a pretty together, good mom. She's always there for the kids, doesn't make them feel bad about their shortcomings and seems to be quite loving in her own way. Sure, the family is a bunch of crazy crackers, but heck, at least they're not on drugs.) who is 32 years old, she is married to Sugar Bear who is 40. Together they have 4 daughters, 6 year old Honey Boo Boo, 12 year old Pumpkin, 15 year old Chubbs,  and 17 year old Chickadee who is pregnant.  If you do the math June was 15 when she had Chickadee. They went off to get Chickadee a ultra sound and there was Honey Boo Boo on the bed putting the gel on her stomach. Then there was talk about where babies come from. Lots of talking about farting and a pet pig. I was  all set to hate this show but ended up sort of liking it. I say sort of because how can you hate a family that eats road kill, and buys stale food at an auction so they can save money to take their sassy mouthed Honey Boo Boo to pageants and buy her fancy tacky glitzy dresses to wear.  I also couldn't help but admire and appreciate that this family actually seems to LIKE and ENJOY one another. I could see getting tired of Alana after a certain point, but she made me laugh hard a few times at her remarks. I have to say I kinda like her. And I must say after watching this show I swear I will never feel weird, not normal or out of place ever again. I give this show one half thumb up.

Honey Boo Boo

It's been one of those days!

1. I should've known it was going to be one of those days when I attempted to pull up a pair of jeans and either they shrunk or my butt grew overnight.

2. I should've known it was going to be one of those days when I walked outside barefooted in 100 degree heat and came back inside with second degree burns.

3. I should've known it was going to be one of those days when I ran into a spider web and freaked out.

4. I should've known it was going to be one of those days when I plugged in the curling iron instead of the mixer.

Happy Monday!! I hope you are having a good day where ever you are.

5 on Friday

1. Bully, teacher's pet, geek, shy kid in the corner, or something else?
Shy kid in the corner. I  was the invisible person in class. I also was (and am) somewhat a loner and not good at making friends. So I was on my own, ignored even by bullies.

2. What did/do you usually eat during lunch time at school?
I went to school way before my small school had a cafeteria so I packed my lunch usually a sandwich and maybe a piece of fruit.

3. What did/do you normally wear to school? Thinking back to what you wore(if you've already graduated), do you like it?
I just wore general street clothes that were out of style. Girls wore dresses and boys wore slacks no jeans allowed. No ‘gym’ shoes allowed either. We wore saddle shoes and the guys wore white bucks. It was a different time.

4. Any sports/activities/clubs you participate(d) in?
I did not join any clubs or activities. I never was a joiner.

5. Any worthwhile friends you (would) still keep up with after graduation?
The only friend I didn't lose is one I knew way before school. There are a couple of people I wish I could get back in touch with, but I am bad at staying in contact.

I believe

1. I believe in miracles.

2. I believe in pink.

3. I believe laughter is the best medicine.

4. I believe in being strong.

5. I believe tomorrow is another day.

6. I believe some days should come with a warning label.

7. I believe what you send out to the universe you get back.

8. I believe if drama (trouble) follows you every where you go .. you are the drama (trouble).

9. I believe some people come into your life as a blessing and others as a lesson.

10. I believe everything happens for a reason, even if that reason is I am stupid and make bad decisions.

Things I've Learned....

1) The grass isn't always greener on the other side. Living in the moment creates more of a sense of contentment than looking far ahead.

2) When wine tasting, always swirl the wine around and sniff and then swirl again. It makes it seem like you know what you're doing when you really don't.

3) I've been mispronouncing the word "salmonella" all these years.  (It isn't samo but salmo).

4) Bananas and peanut butter is yummy. Elvis was right.

5) If I have a chance to come back as an animal, I choose the pig. They love playing in mud, don't care if they're fat and know how to kick it hard with a smile on their face.

6) Pit bulls have been given a bad rap.

7) I love it when my grand-kids calls me by my nickname. It makes me smile.

8) Bugs are very good at playing dead. To a point of faking rigor mortis even.

9) When the part on the toilet the breaks is called a ball cock, be very careful with describing the part needed at the hardware store within earshot of anyone else.

10) The blue dye found in M&Ms and Gatorade is known to speed up healing in spinal cord injuries.
