Whenever there is an advertisement for an allergy medication, they typically say, "Side affects are similar to cold symptoms."
 ...Aren't allergies like cold symptoms? So instead of having a runny, stuffed up nose, sneezing, coughing, etc. you can say it isn't your allergies, it's the 'cold symptoms' side affects of your medicine.This has always bothered me.
 Something to note: Mackie has gotten around my evil lawn gnomes. My poor little attack gnomes are no longer safe because she has discovered something to defeat them. Check it out! 29 juni I'm a Sucker For...I am a Sucker For:
*Wild flower bouquets wrapped in brown paper with twine.
My dad has a 'secret' place where he gets them and they are so beautiful! He refuses to tell us girls where it is but will tell any boys we bring around (so you can tell how many I've received!)
*Big dogs:
I love to wrestle with them, cuddle with them, I'm just a big dog person!
*A musician:
If a man can play piano, then I am a melted puddle on the floor! I have always wanted to have Debussy's Claire de Lune played for me (it's my favorite piano piece). If he can't play piano then I like guitar next, then drums.
*Chocolate:
I know, this is a big DUH! But I don't actually like dark chocolate or chocolate ice cream.
*Walking barefoot:
On the beach, in the yard, at the lake, I love the feel of cool grass or warm sand on my feet. Walking on rocks doesn't bug me.
*Climbing:
I love to climb tress but there are also some bluffs at a beach nearby that are very fun to climb. My problem is getting stuck and not being able to get down because I'm very much afraid of heights!
*Accents:
I love to hear the different way people speak! I can mimic a lot of accents and it's always been a fascination of mine. I would love to be able to hear anyone talk and be able to tell them exactly where they are from.
*Asian Art:
My whole living room is Asian and I love it! I've always loved the detail, colors, and style.
*Eyelashes:
Having long eyelashes myself, I tend to look first at how long someone else's are. I want to pass mine down to my children so I would like my husband to have long eyelashes to ensure it.
*Eating with chopsticks:
There is something exotic and comfortable feeling when I eat a meal with them. I have a set at home and whenever I can, I use them.
*Greek and Roman art, architecture, mythology, and history:
I love anything about the ancient Greeks and Romans. My ultimate dream vacation would be to go on a cruise through the Mediterranean and spend some extra time in Greece and Italy.
*Jewelry:
I have two jewelry boxes at home and still don't have a place to put it all! I really need one of those jewelry armoires. I love rings, necklaces, and earrings; I'm not a big bracelet wearer. Most of my stuff is cute and simple but I know a lot about different stones, cuts, and settings.
*Singing:
I enjoy singing but am too embarrassed to sing in public. I really don't think I'm very good but I would love to have the confidence to sing to my husband in the quiet moments on the couch or in bed. I will definitely sing to my children though.
What are you a sucker for? 19 juni Random Questions1. Would you rather eat something alive or something that had been dead for a long time?
2. Do you see an empty refrigerator box and think of the ways you can play with it?
3. Along with height limits on rides, should there be width limits too?
4. Can you believe it's not butter?
My answers:
1. I would rather die!
2. Always! I was playing in Mark's huge TV box a couple of weeks ago.
3. Mark and his mom went on Small World in Disney Land and were in a boat with a huge person and they had to scrunch in the middle to keep it from letting water in! I can see a hazard on like Splash Mountain as the log gets to the bottom of the drop and sinks! Kinda scary if you think about it.
4. Yes I can because butter has never been designed to come out of a spray bottle! And butter isn't really that yellow! 14 juni I Just Don't Get ItThere are two things that have become largely popular lately and I just don't get it
 ...maybe I'm older than I thought! If anybody can explain these to me, I would be greatly appreciative.#1: Snakes on a Plane: The new Samuel L. Jackson movie.
 It's getting tons of hype and it no longer has 'fans' it has 'cult members'. Seriously this movie is clearly not very original or 'surprising'; I can already tell you what it's about! Let's see...there are snakes...and they are on a plane...how complex! What will be next year's big film? Sloth's in a Supermarket? See, now that is original! I could become incredibly famous for a movie about my life, a horror, Spiders in the Sink...I shall become a bazillionaire!#2: I Write Sins Not Tragedies, by Panic! At the Disco.
 It's a song and it's retarded (and I'm just being nice!) The lyrics are really annoying, repetitive, and it just doesn't make sense to me. This song is on the top requested songs on most of the local radio stations and I've seen a lot of people write the lyrics in a blog as if it is some touching inspiring song...but it makes no sense!Update: Ok, so Mark kinda like explained it to me last night...but I still think it's really dumb; it doesn't even rhyme!
If you could please tell me (if you know) what the big deal is over these two things; please inform me! Is there anything you just don't get? 12 juni The StorySome time ago, in a world that even the village people couldn't compete with, there was a little fairy named Sophie. She wasn't just any fairy, she was a stiletto fairy...thank God for wings! Well, Sophie's family told her that it was about time for her to find herself a man (not a fairy cuz male fairies are a breed of their own!) so as opposed to this as she was, Sophie headed out on this mission. Since Sophie lived so far from civilization, it was going to be a very long journey so she packed the necessities...makeup, cute outfits, and of course, all of her shoes!
Sophie manage to leave in the afternoon and by evening she made her camp on a nice sandy beach. The sound of the ocean soothed her to sleep and the night was peaceful. *She dreamed of a her prince charming...he was far off in the distance, running to her. She couldn't make out what he looked like but as he approached she could see his scraggly beard and eye-patch...eye-patch!?!* Sophie awoke to a rough looking pirate scooping her up and taking her to his ship! She tried to impale him with her stilettos but the pirate had removed them while she slept. Screaming was no use, there was nobody around to save her. Crying over her capture and the fact that without her lovely heels, her calves didn't look as nice, she managed to get out a "who are you and what are you doing with me?"
"I am Captain Felix of the Indian Sea; and like most pirates, I'm out looking to capture some booty!"
Sophie glared at him and said coldly, "I'm not that kind of fairy so it would be best if you release me."
"Har har har!" Felix laughed, "you don't have much choice in the matter!"
And with that, Captain Felix locked Sophie in the cabin. A bit later he brought her some food.
"If you are a pirate of the Indian Sea, then why are you here in the Pacific?" Sophie questioned.
"Tis a sad tale to tell and it wouldn't be right for a rough pirate like meself to cry in front of my captive so in short, I'm looking for the Wizard of Canada, Professor Spaz. He is said to be able to help anyone!" Felix replied.
Locking this in her memory, Sophie thought perhaps her new mission would be to look for this Professor and maybe he could help her find a man!
"Is it possible for me to get some fresh air? It's awfully stuffy down here." Sophie said.
Captain Felix eyed her but nodded and hoisted her to the main deck where they found it had been taken over by seals! Before Captain Felix could pick his jaw off the floor, a loud whistle was heard and a large seal whacked him with his tail! Felix fell over, sending Sophie in the air but she was caught by another seal. Sophie squinted in the sun to see where the whistling was coming from...it was an orange and white tabby cat in a wetsuit! The cat whistled some more and the seals blocked Felix from pursuing the seal carrying Sophie as it dove into the water. Once on shore again, the other seals and their 'trainer' leapt off the ship and swam for shore. Sophie was taken to a secure cave that must have been the cat's home. There were posters of the cat and his seals; he must have been quite popular. "Manny the Seal Trainer Extraordinaire!" a poster read.
"Thank you Manny for saving me." Sophie said.
Manny licked his paw and slicked his hair back, "You are very welcome. I heard your screams from the beach and knew me and my highly trained seals could easily rescue you. Would you care for some Friskies? I can open a new can if you would like?"
Stomach turning at the thought, Sophie politely declined."Do you know where to find the Wizard of Canada?"
Manny's eyes grew large, "Professor Spaz? Why yes, I used to perform for him quite frequently...when I was famous. I used to be world renowned; my seals were and still are the best around! But sadly, I wasn't 'flamboyant' enough and I got replaced by General R. Lee Fuchsia, a gay commander in the Confederate Army. He had flashy Zouave pants and had easy to manage hair that was very stunning."
"A commander in the Confederate Army? I thought the Confederacy collapsed a long time ago, and why would he be training seals?" Sophie looked puzzled.
Manny's tail drooped, "He isn't a real one, but he knows all the military tactics so he was hired on to train those seals like soldiers. He even made their costumes; it was a very color coordinated group. People liked the structure, the form, and the sequins so I quickly lost the business."
"I'm so sorry Manny, is there anything I can do for you?" Sophie asked.
"Why yes, when you go to see Professor Spaz, could you please tell him that I've got new stuff, that will blow General Fuchsia's seals out of the water!"
"I'd love to, but first you must show me how to find him." Sophie smiled. Manny drew her a topographical map in his litter box that was quite thorough and Sophie headed out on her journey, waving goodbye to her new friend Manny.
Along the trail, Sophie came across a little woman in a cowboy hat and a hobby horse...that was all! The woman could only have been about 2 feet tall and Sophie blushed as she approached the naked wonder.
"Um, hello, is there something you need help with?" She questioned the woman.
The woman spun around on her hobby horse almost knocking her legs out from under her, "Well shoot fire! You scared the dickens outta me! Please, please, be real quiet. That Indian is gonna be coming any minute now and I'ma gonna get it!"
Confused, Sophie squatted down low and whispered, "Who are you and why do you want to get an Indian?"
Flabbergasted, the little woman said, "Why I'm Doogan Stine, and I'm a cowboy all the way from New York! Bein that I'm a cowboy an all, I gotta catch me an Indian, it's just what we do!"
The still confused Sophie wasn't able to ask any further questions because something emerged into a clearing nearby.
"Indian?" Sophie wondered, "this doesn't look anything like an Indian! This woman must be crazy...well, duh she's crazy! She's naked in a cowboy hat and a hobby horse in the middle of nowhere!"
The 'Indian' in the clearing was actually a cute little woman in a white lab coat and red rimmed spectacles. She wore yellow rubber gloves and had a pair of tweezers and a glass jar. She was crawling on her hands and knees picking up something Sophie couldn't make out with her tweezers. Sophie glanced over at her lunatic 'cowboy' next to her only to find that she had fallen asleep...perhaps she had narcolepsy? Not wanting the poor lab lady to be attacked upon the awakening of the naked cowboy, Sophie decided to warn her.
"Excuse me miss" Sophie said as she stood up.
The woman jumped, definitely out of fright, "Oh my! I'm sorry, I didn't know anyone was out here."
"Well, my name is Sophie, I'm a stiletto fairy, and I have to warn you about a crazy little naked woman who believes she is a cowboy and you are an Indian. She is planning on capturing you and in case her insanity is as serious as I might imagine, then you had better leave this area."
"Oh, Doogan Stine?" The woman laughed, "yes, I know her; perfectly harmless. She is my associate. My name is Dolly-Lu and once Doogan Stine was a great scientist. Her and I were trying to find a way to alter the DNA strand and make it so that you could never forget anything! Unfortunately she tried some experiments on herself and is now what you see today, so I work alone for now; trying to find a cure."
"So what does that have to do with your tweezers and jar?" Sophie asked.
"Well, you see, since she is a bit loony now, she decided that all the lab rats were to be her cattle so she set them free on her 'range'. I am trying to collect their droppings so I can test their DNA and find the way to correct poor Doogan Stine."
"Wow, this has really been a strange mission and it just keeps getting weirder by the day!" Sophie exclaimed.
"Mission, what mission are you on?"
So Sophie explained everything and finally asked Dolly-Lu if she knew the Wizard of Canada, Professor Spaz. Dolly-Lu's eyes lit up!
"Why yes, I work in his labs! I can take you to him right away!"
Sophie was taken through the clean white labs and into a great palace. Dolly-Lu checked to find out where the great Professor was and was told that he was having his facial hair tended to by Sam "Parachute" Adams, a retired WW2 soldier and currently Alex Trebeck's moustache stylist! Dolly-Lu explained that Alex and the Professor were good friends because the Professor was the one to give Alex the questions for Jeopardy. Sophie and Dolly-Lu entered the manly salon.
"I just really hate it when I get food in my facial hair, it's really not becoming of a great wizard." Prof. Spaz said irritated.
"Yes, Alex told me you were having that problem, he gets it too. Not a problem though, I know just the trim!" Sam said as he quickly started snipping away.
"Um excuse me Professor Spaz," Dolly-Lu said, "There is a young stiletto fairy that has come a long way to see you."
Professor Spaz turned in his chair and a smile lit up his face, "What can I help you with madam?"
Sophie blushed, not knowing what do say, "do I call him 'your majesty' or 'great wizard' or 'wonderful professor' " she wondered. "Good sir, I am on a mission. My family says that it is time for me to be married and need to find a man. But I don't know where to find such a man, can you show me where to go?"
Professor Spaz wrinkled his brow and thought long and hard. Finally he replied, "Sorry, can't help you. I'm only into girls so I have no clue where to find a man!"
"What!?! But you are a great Wizard and a Professor!" Sophie blurted.
"Yes, but I'm the Wizard of Canada and Professor SPAZ, I'm good at Jeopardy but that's about it! I'm sorry Sophie."
On the verge of tears, Sophie turned to leave. Suddenly a warm strong wind blew the doors open. A beautiful wispy woman blew into the room.
"Sophie" the woman said, "I am Sierra, Roman goddess of the mountain ranges, and I've been watching you on your quest. This whole time you have been looking for a man to make you happy but you have found friends instead. Be happy with your friends and you won't even need the man...at least not for a while."
"But what about my family?" Sophie asked.
"Go home and have a barbecue with them, bring all your new friends with you, and they will be so flabbergasted by these new people that they won't even have time to think of a man!"
So Sophie went home bringing with her Professor Spaz, Dolly-Lu, Doogan Stine, and she even went back and brought Manny. Manny was able to talk to Professor Spaz and got his career up and running again! Sierra was right, Sophie was happy with the friends she had and didn't even care about the man she didn't have; her parents didn't mind either. And they all lived happily ever after...until Sophie's biological clock started ticking...but that's another story!

07 juni Bleach Fume Induced Idea!As I was engulfed in bleach fumes while Chrissy and I were cleaning the house; I had a blog idea!

 Meet JoshDo it NOW! 02 mei Birthday Quiz!I found this some where and wondered what my birthday said about me and what it said for Mark as well. What a bunch of HOOEY! I will let you read them and then give my thoughts specifically at the end of each analysis.
For Maggie:
***Your Birthdate: March 24***
You understand people well and are a natural born therapist. A peacemaker, people always seem to get along when you are around. You tend to be a father or mother figure to friends, even to those older than you. You enjoy your role, and you find that you are close to many people. Your strength: Your devotion
Your weakness: Reliance on others for happiness
Your power color: Lilac
Your power symbol: Heart
Your power month: June
"a natural born therapist"...yeah, that's why I had to go to one in high school! I should be able to fix myself then! The whole second line I find humorous because I have a bad temper and people probably get along well because it I don't know them, then I'm hiding in the closet! "a father or mother figure"...me!?! I'm so immature most of the time! Then the rest of it about my strength and weakness and colors and stuff makes me sound like a total charitable nun!
For Mark:
***Your Birthdate: October 10***
Independent and dominant, you tend to be the alpha dog in most situations. You're very confident, and hardly anything ever shakes you. Mundane tasks tend to drain you - you prefer to be making great plans. You are quite original. When people don't "get" you, it bothers you a lot. Your strength: Your ability to gain respect
Your weakness: Caring too much what others think
Your power color: Orange-red
Your power symbol: Letter X
Your power month: October
"independent and dominant...the alpha dog" hahaha! Mark is shy and quiet in most situations, he's like me and will hide from new people! The whole second line...um, no. The third line sorta works, he wants to be a director which I consider great plans. The fourth line ok, yeah, I definitely think it applies! The strength, no; weakness, kinda; color, so no! If he found something darker than black then he'd wear that instead! Although he does look good in red.

Share any dislikes? Or do you think I'm just absolutely nuts? (Although, I think we've established that!) What things do you absolutely hate?  Way too funny to pass up!22 maart Book Intro from Long AgoI ran across this in one of the numerous folders of my inbox. I wrote it quite a while ago. It's a short intro (subject to change) to the book I want to write about my psychotic life.
 Please leave me feedback so I know what to change or keep or whatever. Don't worry about criticizing, you will probably never ever meet me in your life...plus I can delete comments! Ok, so I won't delete them but I do want constructive criticism if you have it. God has thought up and created amazing things through doctors, biologists, and engineers. However all of His smell testing, food tasting, and stupid pet tricks He leaves up to a very important person! He knows it requires a special person with an overly special personality, who can take blows to the head, attacks from inanimate objects, and ridiculously "graceful" falls while hoping someone has a video camera. This is where I come in. God asks some people to be His voice, others to be His hands, and then there's me. His entertainment. Sure, God is All Powerful, Master Creator, and Highly Supreme, but He also has a sense of humor. And when He needs a good laugh, He chucks a situation in my direction. (Just one of the many reasons I have to take blows to the head well!)
I laugh and tell people that I am God's guinea pig. He thinks up dumb stuff and tests it on me. I of course pass with flying colors. Usually the colors are black and blue however, and all over me. I can't complain much though; how many people can say they have been attacked by a shopping cart, a dog poop infested snow ball, and a gecko, and live to tell the tale? My children and grandchildren will be awed by my stories of bravery turned to pants peeing, gracefulness resulting in tripping and landing face first, and intelligence dissolving into a drooling blank stare. I figure God and my family shouldn't be the only ones to laugh at the things I get into, so why not write them down and share with everyone! Word of warning though, if you in any way, shape, or form can relate to this book; contact your local psychiatric ward and have them prepare you a lovely padded room and get your jacket freshly pressed!
08 februari Top Ten Favorite Movies! (Action/drama/thriller)Hey, Mark here! I thought it would be cool if me and Maggie posted our top 10 favorite movies of all time! First well do our top ten favorite drama/action/thriller types. Then later well do Comedy. After reading ours, why don't you list your top 5? (listing ten in a comment would be kinda long, but if you want to, go ahead!)
Mark's List:
 1: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and the Return of the King. I love those movies, and they count as 1 because they are basically all one big epic! I love those movies, and they have inspired me to direct!
2:Indiana Jones: I, II, III. see above
3: Back to the Future: I, II, III. Again, all basically one whole movie.
4: Star Wars, I, II, III, IIV, IV, V, VI. One of a kind trilogy, and now it's complete!
5: Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban Goblet of fire. I count them as one, I love them all!
5: Jurassic Park, first one ROCKS!
6: Secret Window, YAY Johnny Depp. Most people think this was boring, but I love it!
7: Edward Scissorhands....JD again!
8: The Phantom of the Opera (2005 version)
9: Glory
10: Shawshank Redemption
It's so hard to pick only 10, because I have SO many favorites.
This list is kinda difficult to make. I'm more of a comedy and romantic/comedy type girl. I'm not into thrillers but I do like a good minimal violent action film (and there are SOO many of those!
 ) Before reading my list I will let you know now, that I am a huge sap and cry watching a lot of movies! These aren't in any order.Maggie's List:
1. King Kong. The new one of course. I've bawled every time I've seen it.
2. The Phantom of the Opera. I have always been intrigued with the story and the music, so I was thrilled when the movie came out. I cry at the end.
3. Ever After. Dramatic twist on an old fairy tale. Another one that makes me cry.
4. Now and Then. It's a dramatic comedy but is still very touching and yes, I cry during this one too.
5. Moulin Rouge. I love the music! If you can get past the psychotic, crack induced beginning, the ending is very touching. The first time I saw it I sobbed. I'm such a sap and I still cry when I watch it.
6. Harry Potter series. I love this series. My dad and I have a tradition of going an seeing it in theater for the first time together. I just love fantasy type stuff.
7. Lord of the Rings. I absolutely hate the first one (sorry Mark) but I love the others!
8. Star Wars. I grew up watching the old ones and now I love the new ones too.
9. Mission Impossible. I love the twists and figuring it all out!
10. Gone in 60 Seconds. This movie just gets the blood flowing and makes you want to go steal a car when you're done watching it!
My archive pick this week:03 februari Fears and paranoias of Mark and MaggieHey this is Mark (King of the Underworld) and Maggie (Queen of the Cell), and we're going to put down a list of both our fears we have. This is actually Mark writing this, but Maggie will put her fears on this blog as well as I will put mine. Which one do you think is funniest? Which one do you think is the dumbest? You decide.
MARKS TOP TEN FEAR AND PARANOIA LIST(NO SPECIFIC ORDER):1: I have a fear of heights, I get a weird feeling in my stomach when I'm up high.
2: I have severe Arachnophobia; I'm dead scared of spiders of any kinds! I can't even watch them on TV without wanting to cringe. I HATE THOSE THINGS, I just wanna scream like a little girl
 when I see one near me.3: I have a pretty BIG fear of most insects. Ants, spiders (above), caterpillars, butterflies, moths, flies, bees, wasps etc. I can be in a room with them, but not be like near them or look close at them on TV without flinching.
4: I have a fear of retarded people, I know it sounds horrible. Its more like, I feel so incredibly sad for them, it makes me depressed, so I fear them. I can't even talk to one with feeling like bawling my brains out!
 5: I do not like the numbers 3, 6, 9, 13, 16, 19 etc. I can't use them easily. I can't end something on a number like that without getting paranoid. It's weird I know, but I can't help but fearing those numbers. I can't do something like only 3 times. My favorite numbers are 11 and 21.
6: Small children. I fear them for some reason. I can't easily talk to little kids, or like play with them. I freak out whenever one approaches me.
7: Airplane travel, I have always hated flying.
 8: Hamburgers.....I am paranoid of E. coli. I rarely eat them, I used to be worse!
9: Gold Fish Crackers....I have a fear of eating them, can't tell why though. I haven't had one in years, but I have a fear of eating them.
10: Sicknesses and diseases.
I am paranoid of getting like serious diseases and stuff like that. Maggie calls me a Melmen (from the movie Madagascar), because I always think I'm dying of something. BUT I have a reason for this fear/paranoia, it's a long story though so nvm.My turn, my turn! Although I am buying Mark a big bag of goldfish crackers when I'm done for making me list one of these! You so did this on purpose to torment me!
MAGGIE'S TOP TEN FEAR AND PARANOIA LIST(NO SPECIFIC ORDER):1. I am extremely closterphobic to the point that if my arm gets stuck when I'm putting my shirt on, I panic.
2. Sharks have always scared me and I think about getting eaten even if I'm in a lake or swimming pool (Mark does have this same fear).
3. I am afraid that there are hidden cameras in bathroom mirrors...even my own...so after I get out of the shower, I have to cover up before I can get in front of the mirror.
4. Violence bothers me to no end. In high school we had to watch Schindler's List for English class. I made it through the first 10 minutes of the movie and cried myself to sleep for a week after. Any movie/TV violence I see, sticks in my head and I can't handle it.
5. I'm afraid of going fast on like a bike, roller blades, snowboard, skies, sleds, etc. I'm fine in cars but on any like 'manual' thing, I panic if I start to pick up speed. This applies mostly to downhill. It took me forever to get down the bunny slop when I went snowboarding!
6. Mark said I had to put this one and my fear is a lot to do with even talking about it, so this is very difficult.
I'm afraid to go to the bathroom in any other place except my home and work. And um...I can't even say it without getting embarrassed, it's not peeing that I'm talking about. I'm afraid of people thinking that I do that, even though everyone does.7. Like Mark, I also am terrified of spiders. Once I went to get his mail, came in and was sorting through, and noticed a very large grey spider crawling towards my hand! I screamed, threw the mail on the floor, and jumped up on the chair. I was screaming at Mark to kill it, and of course he's majorly freaked of them too, but he knew there was NO WAY I was going to do it, so he killed it!
8. I get my long eyelashes from the men in my family: my dad and grandpa. My dad still has long eyelashes, but my grandpa's are nubs of lashes. I am SOOO afraid that my eyelashes will shorten! They are like the only things that I love about myself; I don't know what I'd do without them!
9. I grew up going hunting with my dad; I was the tomboy. I was never really afraid of running into bears or cougars, but I have a fear of bobcats because of a dream I had.
 10. I had emergency eye surgery because my retina was detaching. They put a scleral buckle around my eye, which basically is a really expensive rubber band! I'm so afraid it will snap and my eye will like shoot out of my head. This type of surgery is typical of people in their 70's, so I don't know if this thing is designed for my lifespan! 27 december I'm Back!I'm BACK! The 4 day weekend was fabulous...especially since a gift filled holiday was involved!
 My Christmas was very good...I'M DEBT FREE!!!  My parents gave me exactly what I wanted...and what I asked for LAST Christmas...they paid off my remaining medical bill! I'm soooooo happy!!! Now I can look at moving out *insert giant "WHOOPIE!"' here*. All of my other gifts were great too; I pretty much got everything I asked for and then some cool 'bonuses' too!Well, anyhoo, I have some new fun stuff for you to do! Go to this link: http://www.myheritage.com/FP/Company/tryFaceRecognition.php?s=1&u=g0..=EN&database=1
upload a photo of yourself, click on the celebrity database, then click on 'run face recognition' and it will tell you what celeb you look like! It doesn't always work though; I submitted 3 different pics and only one came up. It said I looked 60% like Madonna...oh yea, an old woman with a mondo ravine between her front teeth!
(which I don't have!) Oh well, I'm pretty sure the guy at the post office thought Mark was my son, which means I would have had to have been 4 when I had him! I was no preschool slut...I didn't even go to preschool! Let me know who you look like!This is the famous Tinker Bell that topped my grandparent's tree! She's almost 60 and is held up by tape! 22 november What Crazy Holiday is on Your Birthday?There are some really strange holidays out there. I've found a website with a strange holiday for every day of the year. Look up your birthday and see what lands on it, then leave your holiday in a comment for everyone to see! My birthday is National Chocolate Covered Raisins Day.
P.S. This will probably be my last blog until Monday because I'm going out of town for Thanksgiving. I GET A 5 DAY WEEKEND!!!  17 november Tag!
03 november Needed: Laughter!It's the fall/winter season which means one thing to me...seasonal depression.
 I was doing well until daylight savings time. Now I get off work and it's dark! It's awful, I hate it, and I randomly feel like crying in the middle of my day...I would think I was pregnant but Jesus isn't coming back that way again! I'm asking for your help to cure my seasonal blues. PLEASE: send me the links to the funniest things you've found on the net; like stories, jokes, videos, games, whatever! Just remember to keep them clean because I'm not into nudity or swearing. Ya know, good clean nun fun! (ok, so I'm not that strict but you get the point) I really appreciate any help you can give to get me through this dark, dreary time of the year!-Maggie *Queen of the Cell*
01 november It's Pat!There is someone who walks around my town with a backpack and a metal detector; I call it Pat. I don't know what gender Pat is because the clothing, hair, and even voice is not gender specific. Pat has come into my office a few times and talked for a bit. There is something wrong with Pat I think because it's highly fidgety, breathes really heavily, and has a very strange whiney voice "complimented" by a scary beyond all reason cackle! Mentally I don't think Pat's attic light is on! I've always wondered about following Pat to see like which bathroom it goes into or what clothing section it shops. Pat always has a coat on so I can't tell if it's wearing a bra or not and i haven't gotten up the courage to ask for a name. My dilemma is that I don't know if I want to know...I kinda like my illusive, gender neutral Pat. It brings me much joy (and laughter) when I spot Pat walking down the road, metal detector in hand and I wish I had a video camera for all those people who think I'm just making it up! Although I met someone who started to mention seeing this person and I piped up with "It's Pat!" They started laughing and said, "You call it that too?!" So I do have one person in my Pat fan club. I would like your input though, on whether I should discover the gender or just have my fun guessing. Oh, and am I totally evil for finding entertainment in this?
?
 ? ??*11/2 update: Pat came into my work today and I was trying so hard not to laugh! It brought in something for my boss to look at and has to leave it and pick it up later. It didn't leave a name however, which I found amusing, but it has to come back and I'm sooo afraid it will leave a name and then I'll know the gender. If it's name is Pat then I'm really going to die from ironic laughter! I'll keep you posted! 31 oktober What City Do You Belong In?You Belong in Rome

Take this quiz and let me know your results! http://www.yournewromance.com/whatcitydoyoubelonginquiz 27 oktober My Random *But Usefull* Tips!I have quite a few little things that just help me through my everyday life and I thought I'd share. Ok, so they were all girl tips but since I have quite a few male readers, I've come up with some for you too! Obviously the color coding will tell which tips are for who...and if you're color blind...oh so sorry.
Girls:
*Get an eyelash comb! Not the ones with plastic teeth, they break easy; get a metal tooth eyelash/eyebrow comb. You can get them at Sephora for like 5 bucks; I have 2! Especially for us people that have really long eyelashes, this is a MUST!
*Use hemorrhoid wipes to get rid of bags under the eyes. You can also use cream but it can clog pores so I suggest the wipes. It really works well!
*If you can't stop snacking, brush your teeth or chew gum. There are just some days you can't stop munching so this will refresh your mouth and breath and make it so you don't want to pollute the cleanliness with food...for a while!
*Love pointy toed stilettos but your toes want to murder you for putting them in such cramped space? Get your shoes a half a size bigger and stuff the pointy toes with tissue. This brings your toes up for much more breathing room.
Guys:
#Get footie nylons to keep blisters from forming. My dad uses these for when he goes hunting, they are like the bootie nylons they put on your feet at shoe stores. Put them under your socks and they eliminate friction that causes blisters...and they keep your feet warm (very nice for if you're hunting!)
#If you have athlete's foot, pee on your feet in the shower! I don't know what's in your urine that kills it but if I was peed on I'd probably wanna die too!
#You will attract no one if you have a unibrow! Grooming is not just a girl thing! We like a well groomed man which means taking care of those caterpillar eyebrows! If you don't know how or where to start, ask a girl, like your sister, girlfriend, friend that's a girl, or even a salon person! We will help you!
Have tips of your own? Let me know!
