  • From the mouths of babes

    Husband: "What do you want for dinner honey?"
    Wife: "Anything but ribs or salmon."
    Husband: Gee thanks. That really narrows it down.

  • Facts of Life

    You know. It’s ok to run out of money. And it’s ok to run out of food. But it’s never ok to run out of food and money at the same time.

  • Why do they have to eat!

    I really enjoy cooking but with the food challenges of my children, schedules, and cash flow, sometimes food becomes downright frustrating. The past couple of weeks I have carefully planned our meals and shopping trips. The result was that we ate happily on healthy meals of salmon and ribs less expensively than coping out on busy nights with McDonald’s and Chick Fillet.

    However, I look at the clock (1pm) and note that Tommy has to be in BFE at 6pm albeit he gets feed at his youth group tonight. We are still on 1 car since I haven’t made the time to replace the water pump on the Jeep and the afternoon schedule involves me being at the elementary school around 2:30, Sarah being picked up from school at 4:45, and Tommy’s jaunt to Lenior City beginning at 5:30. Ah! Looks like leftover ribs, salmon, and, for the non-eaters, fish sticks tonight!

    (fish sticks cook in 8 minutes btw!)

  • Uninsured is scary!

    Of working-age U.S. residents who sought individual health coverage in the last three years, 89% were rejected for medical reasons or felt that the available plans were unaffordable[Source]

    The problem is deeper than just cost. Quality of services is impacted when you don’t have insurance. When you say "cash pay" at a doctor’s office they sneer at you, make you wait longer, then let the interns experiment and get their experience on you while the insured go straight to doctors with less wait. Being uninsured isn’t just a financial problem, it is in iteself a health problem. The stigma of being uninsured is daunting despite 42.6 million American people (10million being children) being uninsured [Source – US Census Bureau] and those figures are 1998-99.

  • The economy is booming!

  • LOST and Gilligan’s Island Similarities

    Michael found a link to the amazing similarities between LOST and Gilligan’s Island! This is a MUST READ for any Lost fan.

    4 – number of sleeping huts on the island
    8 – animals not native to the island
    15 – things that wash up on shore
    16 – number of times Gilligan foils rescue attempts
    23 – number things Gilligan drops on the Skippers head
    42 – number of people who visit the island
    [Source]

    Don’t overlook the new Lost theme song "Hurley’s Island"!

    Update: I originally credited Barry. It has become my habit to immediately read Big Orange Michael after reading Inn of the Last Home or vice versa. So, I periodically think Barry and type Michael or think Michael and type Barry. Thanks to Barry for pointing it out.
