I found this really cool site while stumbling tonight. It’s called FreeRice.com.
It’s a trivia site where every correct answer donates 10 grains of rice to hungry people around the world. Go check it out. Have some fun pissing yourself off with the incorrect answers and surprising yourself with the correct ones.
So I read on some blog earlier today, no I don’t remember which one, that if you don’t post for a month you’re blog is as good as dead. I realize that I have gone longer periods of time without posting and I’ll probably be erratic still in posts to come but hey, you get what you pay for.
What have I been doing the last month you may ask. Lots of things. Some knitting. But mostly I have rediscovered my original needle passion Cross Stitch. And like the typical ADD American that I am I have three started and none finished. The one I have been working on the most is
I have all of the upper right wing complete and am working on the scroll in the middle now. I have also started
Sorry but I couldn’t find a better picture. On that one I only have about 100 stitches actually in the cloth. I have also started
I have quite a bit of his forehead done and around the eyes. On the main wolf that is.
That’s pretty much all that I’ve been doing other than work and sleep.
I’m telling you guys they’re everywhere. I read yet another crazy story in the paper on my lunch break the other day.
This time a 13 year old girl was accused by a classmate of having prescription strength ibuprofen on campus. So get this. Two school officials strip searched the girl. That’s right STRIP SEARCHED. A 13 year old girl. She was forced to remove all her clothing including bra and panties. Guess what. They didn’t find anything. That’s right. Not even one pill. Not one.
The people at the school don’t feel they did anything wrong. In fact there was no disciplinary action taken of any kind. This girl was emotionally scarred. She developed ulcers and had to move schools. The lawyer even said they had “reasonable grounds” for the search. “Remember,” he said, “these were prescription strength Ibuprofen.”
Just outrageous. I will be sure that my children know it’s okay to say no to ANYONE. To read the full story go here. To send the superintendent a piece of your mind you can write:
Dr. Mark R. Tregaskes
734 W 11th St
Safford, AZ 85546
928-348-7000
…They’re everywhere!
So this former Nazi guard has made it to the ripe old age of 89 here in the states. Enjoyed the privileges of citizenship until the year 2002 even. Now he’s being deported back to Germany to stand trial on 29,000 counts of acting as accessory to murder while he was a guard at the Sobibor death camp in Poland. We all know that most of the people in these camps suffered untold horrors at the hands of their captors. Torture beyond what most of us can imagine.
Here’s the crazy part. He says that forcing him to travel back to Germany at the frail age of 89 would be, and I quote, “severe physical and mental pain that clearly amount to torture under any reasonable definition of the term.” I’m so sorry that it would be torture for you. You’re right crazy old man. You DO deserve better than those you stole from, beat, starved, and froze to death. That’s just to name the least of what they had to suffer. You’re life is worth so much more than those 29,000 people that did nothing to deserve what they received. You don’t need to face the consequences of you’re actions just because you’re old.
How crazy can people be to support him not being extradited? He has an attorney defending his right to stay in the states, mind you his citizenship has been revoked. His family is trying to stop the extradition. There was even a temporary stop granted by a judge, he revoked that 3 days later. I’m sure it took him so long because it was the weekend.
Why is it that people think they don’t have to pay for their crimes just because they happened decades ago? Or because they’re old and they don’t have a lot of time left on this earth? I just don’t understand people.
For the full story go here.

I hate this song, but I have to include it because it was and still is a good song. I can’t tell you the number of times I was asked, “Where are the Waves?”, when I was growing up. I know all the words to this song and sing it whenever I hear it on the radio or in a club, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it damn it.
