Sunk and drowning
So I am scuba diving and I am deep. Real deep! There is a mermaid swimming beside me. Her name is Cathy and she is drop dead gorgeous! Her red hair floats around that beautiful face with such fair skin and seductive eyes. Her perfect breasts[NSFW] accentuate the elegant curves of her waist and hips. She twirls showing off her tail which ends at a wonder set of buttocks. She takes my breath away! Oh no! I am out of air. I look down and see the enormous treasure I sought. I could grab it but I may never reach the surface! I hear Cathy sing. She wants me to stay with her. Another diver collecting water samples offers to let me help him in his research; in exchange, he will give me air but I cannot have my treasure, it will be an eternity before we surface, and I must be apart from Cathy.
My new favorite movie quote: "I think I’m in a tragedy!"
Today’s Trainwreck
If you push play, you won’t be able to quit watching. Video of a tough kid and his pet. Bad parents?
Call it toast
Our toaster died months ago. We’ve used the oven’s broiler to poorly toast waffles but mostly gone without toasted items. I have been waiting to purchase the family a nice, expensive toaster on the premise that you get what you pay for. Last night I gave in and bought a toaster…for $6.69. It looks identical to the one for which we paid $24.99 except this has 2 slots instead of 4. I mean everything is the same including the print except for the number of slots and the brand name. Thank you China!
LOST – The Man Behind The Curtain
SUDO-SPOILER ALERT!
In that scene with Ben and Locke where everything got all shaky and you briefly see a person, I did a frame by frame playback and the person sitting in the chair has the exact profile (including that very distinct forehead and extremely distinct nose) of Ben!
Stealing Cathy’s thought, have we gone a little 6th Sense here? Who of the Others have the Losties actually physically contacted and conversed with? Richard? I’m not so sure anymore. Patchie? Definitely. Juliette? Definitely. Tom? Definitely. Ethan? Definitely.
The revelations in tonight’s Lost episode were awesome!
Another of Doug’s Mantras
Something else the children hear me drone out over and over: "If you force it, it will break."

Student: Should I become super, sugar nice or repulsively mean?
Master: You get what you give.
Fire at Bearden High School
(Ok. Not a fair title but I made you look! Alternate titles: "Hot class at BHS" "Tommy Burns the String at Both Ends" "Tommy Scrambles Over an Open Fire")
Tommy’s wildlife class has been learning how to build fires on campus..an activity that would get most kids expelled. Today his class will have a fire building contest where groups have to build a fire up and burn a string 2 feet high. Tommy has done this on camping trips and should do well. After they burn their strings they get to cook on the open fire. Tommy choose to scramble eggs on his fire.
This morning we prepared his orange by slicing off the top third. Then we used a grapefruit knife to separate most of the meat from the skin so that this did not burden him during class. We put the sliced top back on and held it in place with rubber bands to keep the juices in during school. The recipe calls for 2 eggs so I sent 4. I could not find a egg carrier so I sliced up the egg carton to be a protective case. Tommy did not want any seasoning. We packaged the eggs and the orange carefully in an insulated container with ice packs. In the pocket of the container we put a plastic fork, aluminum foil (wraps around the orange while it cooks in the coals), and printed instructions. While others eat hot dogs and marshmallows, Tommy will be living it up with scrambled eggs!
Update: Tommy did well!
We do it b/c you’re older, and we’re not

Marijuana Cave Making Rounds – again
Rick Archer did a piece on the marijuana cave with more details than any other article to date. He wanted to know how they got busted. Turns out my original theory was correct!
