…and the crik don’t rise
The creek in one spot is nearly over its banks. I’ve never seen it this high! Note to self: Keep a close eye on the bedroom and garage floors!
Good News/Bad News
Good News: The $40,000 owed on the student loans will not be making a bad mark on the credit report!
Bad News: We are stuck in the delinquent loans program another 12 months.
Good News: We are paying $100 per month instead of $550!
Bad News: It’s actually like $47,000 because we don’t get to refinance at today’s interest rates.
What happened? Our account handler is no longer with the law firm. Apparently, had we done the reconsolidation through WD Ford that he directed us to do we would have had a $47,000 bad debt showing on our credit report (granted, its only for 7 years but that could have impacted getting a new house, van, etc.) Since the December payment of $550 bounced and we didn’t get it paid by Jan 15 we didn’t qualify for the reconsolidation. The bummer is that the December payment could have been adjusted to $100 and we could have been reconsolidated. Ugh!

Back from the school. What a hoot! The two biggest loud mouths in the class were side by side and no one could hear a word they were saying. The 7 yr old was scared quiet. He did a great job! I’m a proud dad. The whole wax museum is a hit!

13 yr old dropped at school. Now we are off to the elementary school to see the 7 yr old. We have 15 minutes to get the baby dressed, collect the video camera and digital camera and get to his performance at 9:15.
Kidnapper kills
Body of missing girl found We knew this is how it would end. So, how do I protect my own children? Would my 10 year old simply comply to a firm grip and walk away to never be seen alive again? I would hope not! We should not be faced with having to taint the pure minds of children with these kinds of discussions but the only way to prevent these types of crimes is to prepare our children for the possibility.
Perhaps if we put prozac into the water we could save minds and lives like fluoridation saved teeth.

Carpool
Time to take the 7 yr old, his friend and the 10 yr old to school. 7 yr old is feeling puny; I bet he comes home with us after his show today.

Kids up. 7 yr old was snoring hard. Neither seemed to want to get up and were very groggy. Must be the rain. The 20 mth old seemed restless as I went in to get the 10 yr old. Again. The rain. The 13 yr old also seems restless.
How am I feeling? Great! Up until I put this tie on. I think its time to get new shirts. This one seems a little constraining but until I pass out it will do. I should have stretched out this morning. My shoulder in my back feels like it has a knife in it. But I still feel fantastic.

Get over Janet!
Janet Jackson Stunt May Impact Standards Please people! We have better things to be doing.
“- A banker from Knoxville, Tenn., filed a class action lawsuit against Jackson, dance partner Justin Timberlake, CBS, halftime show producers MTV and the networks’ parent company, Viacom. Terri Carlin said the “sexually explicit conduct” by the performers caused millions of people to “suffer outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury.” ”
Outrage — let’s try “hop on the bandwagon” I really doubt this outraged anyone watching the SuperBowl. It wasn’t on long enough to outrage anyone. I bet the outraged ones were people that did not watch the Superbowl but followed it in the news. If the news had not made such a big deal out of this, then it would have died. Topics for outrage: stupid laws, our failing education system, increased bankrupcies against a backdrop of misappropriated funds in corp america and the government, people that believe a glimpse of a breast causes ‘serious injury’ (this banker needs a therapist)
Anger — anger that it wasn’t a longer spot or more revealing
embarrassment — only that the men stared and got caught by their wives
serious injury — WHAT?! The only people seriously injured are going to be the people paying the fines and legal fees for frivolous lawsuits like this one (and maybe that one grip that fell off the stage)
The local article as published in the local Knoxville paper “Carlin’s lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages worth billions. ” Billions? What? Her goals is to put people out of business or drive up the cost of everything we buy?
Best wife–and she’s mine! All mine!
I really appreciate my wife. I flossed this morning for the first time in a long time and for the first time in the newly renovated bathroom upstairs. I open the “my” drawer and sure enough there’s dental floss. She thinks of everything!
Funny
Anyone that’s ever worked on a car has held a Haynes Manual. Now Haynes brings you The Sex Manual I saw this on -terreus- and his text was so perfect that I want to duplicate it here.
Most sex is of the recreational variety, which is just as well or there would be even more people on the planet. Few people will admit to a lack of expertise, but as with driving there is always scope to improve on the basic technique. And also as with driving, sex is an activity which brings pleasure when skilfully exercised but can be dangerous if the risks are ignored.
The Haynes Sex Manual contains:
- Step-by-step instructions for safer and more enjoyable sex
- Unique advice on sex in cars, backed up by real-life stories
- Written from hands-on experience by a well-known healthcare professional
- Colour fault finding charts for fast diagnosis of sex-related conditions
As you would expect from Haynes, this manual contains detailed explanations of how the relevant parts work and fit together, what happens if they don’t, and what you can do about it.
The manual will enable you to:
- maintain your tackle in optimum condition prevent corrosion of vital parts
- understand your partner’s desires
- decide when to call in professional assistance
