Go around twice if you are happy

For some reason I found this interesting:

Who chooses the next US President?

It will either make you think or feel like you need to put on your tin foil hat! The link referenced at the end goes to some candidate I've never heard of!

Time elapsed video of Arctic ice sheet melting

Here's new NASA satellite video showing the astounding loss of Arctic sea ice.

From NASA: The 2007 Arctic summer sea ice has reached the lowest extent of perennial ice cover on record - nearly 25% less than the previous low set in 2005.

The area of the perennial ice has been steadily decreasing since the satellite record began in 1979, at a rate of about 10% per decade. But the 2007 minimum, reached on September 14, is far below the previous record made in 2005 and is about 38% lower than the climatological average. Such a dramatic loss has implications for ecology, climate and industry.

Sea ice is frozen seawater floating on the surface of the ocean. Some sea ice is semi-permanent, persisting from year to year, and some is seasonal, melting and refreezing from season to season. The sea ice cover reaches its minimum extent at the end of each summer and the remaining ice is called the perennial ice cover.

Bad few weeks

Actually a bad few weeks, Rick is having to have some tests done to see what is wrong with his stomach, our fridge went out and last night the washer went out! It's been a stressful few weeks, but still haven't let it get to me-almost!

I found this funny video-poor woman!

The manliest and most honest commercial ever!?

Another Birthday...

Sunday was my birthday and I spent the day relaxing and watching movies. I spent Friday thru Tuesday relaxing and doing nothing! It was nice and refreshing.

My friend Ginger came up Saturday after her 5 mile Heart Walk and spent the day with me and didn't leave til Sunday. It was a nice visit since we hadn't seen each other in a long time.

Tuesday it was back to work and we have a few events coming up this week and next so I have been busy.

I hope everyone is having a great week :)

It was nice today-it rained later on in the afternoon and we are supposed to have some rain tomorrow as well.

Last week my 13 year old dachshund Randy started acting odd. I noticed his lower jaw started swelling. I took him to the vet the next day and they told me that since he is older his jaw has started deteriorating and was broken. They had to pull his remaining 3 teeth.

Yesterday and today he has pepped back up and is acting like his old self. He is on antibiotics and a mild pain pill. We have to start feeding him soft food, but he snuck some of the other dog's hard food earlier.

He has been really picky and wont eat any of the soft canned food I have tried. The vet gave us some recipe that has hamburger meat, rice, yogurt and a vitamin in it. I made some of it earlier for him and he at it like it was going out of style.

Then he acted like he was a puppy again- I hadn't seen him that peppy in months. Probably from being happy about the food since he hasn't liked anything I have put down in front of him in months.

Work has been going good, but busy.

The fair is here and of course it is rainy this week! I have to go and eat my yearly cheese on a stick and corndog!

I hope everyone is having a great week :)

Circa 1920

I found this on Shorpy earlier: "Mack Sennett girls in costume" circa 1920. Sennett, an early producer of silent films, was known as the King of Comedy for his slapstick reels.

Sometimes I find some odd pictures...

and today I found these and thought I share! I hope everyone is having a good weekend and have a good Memorial day :)

This was either the birth or death of hip hop-hard to tell! From the 80's show "Teen Witch":

Lots of rain

We missed the leftover remnants of the tropical storm that came through in parts of Texas and Oklahoma. I was happy to learn that my friends were safe! We got a little bit of rain on Saturday and nothing else. It was 103 today and more humid than I ever remember it being here-stifling comes to mind.

I didn't want to go in this morning because I was still sleepy and want to crawl back in bed! I read my page a day calendar that is kinda zen based and todays quote was "You can blow to put out a fire and you can blow to start a fire".

I really liked that quote and it got me to thinking so I resigned myself to just do my work and realize how lucky I am to have a good job that I don't dread going to! Work went by fast and I actually enjoyed it.

I hope everyone's week started out great and only gets better :)

You had me at hello

I've only seen this movie once, tonight I was flipping channels and the "you had me at hello" scene happened to be playing and it still got to me. Hopeless romantic or stupid crybaby-or both!?

What a sales pitch-I'll take two!

Heart attack victim saved by sales pitch

AN elderly New Zealand man who suffered a heart attack at a hardware store was revived by a salesman who just happened to be demonstrating a defibrillator to store staff.

The man, who was in his 80s, collapsed in an aisle of the Placemakers store in Albany, near Auckland, and his heart was not beating when salesman Gavin MacDonell attached the machine to his chest.

It was the ultimate sales pitch demonstration for Mr MacDonell, who has been a St John Ambulance volunteer paramedic for 20 years.

"Once we got a shock into him he started to gag, and we thought 'this bloke's coming back'," he told the New Zealand Herald newspaper.

"The people in the shop that were working there were just blown away."

The victim was expected to recover, the paper said.

Going with the flow

It's been a good week so far, just hanging in there and going with the flow. Friday is almost here! Hope everyone is having a good week :)

I love this picture!

For some reason this picture struck me-I visit this site called Shorpy-The 100-Year-Old Photo Blog and this was a picture posted the other day. Makes me want to go do something fun! The caption says:

"The license plate is almost as large as her automobile, but Miss Mary Bay likes her car because it is easy to park. Miss Bay is shown braving the traffic of Washington." January 29, 1924.

Life

Not much has been going on, nothing to write about anyway.

Work has been busy and productive. Our weather has been in the upper 90's and low 100's, but today around 5 PM it started clouding up and has been raining on and off since then. It has been nice.

Football season started it seems, ugg. I am not a football fan and Rick is on cloud 9 watching it right now while I would rather catch a rerun of Friends that I have seen at least 8 times!

The porch birds have grown up and are flying around, they still return to the nest to sleep at night. It's comical to see 5 grown birds that are bigger than the parents crammed into the one nest! The parents roost on a couple of random nails that I never pulled since they seem to like them.

I hope everyone has a great weekend :)
