Headlines....

I look around the news quite frequently, and today I decided to see what some of the news outlets consider the "Top Story" today... Here ya go: MSNBC U.S. eyes protecting polar bears from warming We wouldn't want warm polar bears, now owuld we? My question... How the Hell do you protect polar bears from warming? Do you build massive cold storage buildings that they can come hang out in if it gets too warm? Do you drop ice off for them to come gather- kinda like hurricane releif when they drop ice and water? CNN Deadly cartoon riot near U.S. base OMG!!!! Roger Rabbit has come to life! I knew that it was a giant conspiracy to hide the fact that cartoons are real- and they're pissed off! CBSnews Bush: Stop Violence Over Cartoons Acoording to CNN- the cartoons started it! Tell them to stop first, and we'll see about responding in kind. ABCnews Four More Churches Burned WTF? I can understand somebody who doesn't like religion or something... But why try to destroy a bunch of churches? I keep hearing Liberals say that God should be kept in church, not in public.... But if you burn the churches down... Guess where the church folks will end up? Drudge Report KING FUNERAL TURNS POLITICAL: BUSH BASHED BY FORMER PRESIDENT, REVEREND I caught bits of this yesterday- and this was pathetic. Can anything be non-political anymore? How about you honor the woman who died instead of petty political attacks? I'd be pissed if I was a family member or friend- actually- I'm pissed anyway. They better watch out or I'll send some cartoon rioters their way.... Boston Globe Study finds no major benefits of low-fat diet WOOOHOOOO!!!!! I can continue my meat and potatoes diet and not hear all the crap I get about it.... USA Today ‘A lot more, a lot earlier' in 2008 White House race Some people act as if they are campaigning 24/7 anyway... even a lot of folks who don't have a snoball's chance in Hell of getting anywhere... So what's the difference? Yawn... Wake me up when they quit complaining about Bush and get an idea of their own. OK... I'm bored with it now... Time to get out of the news and find some humor in my day... Hope everybody has a great one and we appreciate everybody's support and prayers!

Another update.....

We went to the doc today...He took a look at her MRI results and decided that it is more than he can handle.... So... he refered us to another doctor. So now... we need to make an appointment to drive in to Houston to see what this next guy thinks.... I just took a look at the MRI CD... It's pretty cool what they can look at inside you... Lot's of prayers folks... It helps immensly to know that so many people are praying for us. Thanks! We'll let you know when we know more.

Update on Stormii

For those keeping score at home.... Yesterday, Stormii had her MRI done... She was in there about an hour (I napped in the waiting room) and that was it...

Today, we go get the results. Tomorrow- Pre-op And next Monday, they knock her out and inject dye up into her kidneys. Who knows where we will go from there. Prayers are helpful folks... Feel free to say all you want- we won't object. Let's hope they can figure out exactly what's going on inside her, and can figure out a safe/quick/easy way to correct it. Thanks.

I think she likes it!!!!

Somebody decided to take her new desk for a test drive instead of watching the Super Bowl.... I'm kinda glad she did... Now she can give me a bit more input on what she needs in the way of shelving before I just build something that doesn't fit. So far, I know for sure she needs lighting.... Any of you folks that do scrapbooking.... Go by my wife's page and tell her how you organize 50,000 stickers and assorted other little things like that... Maybe it'll help her figure out what to tell me to build.

Lazy Sunday

Friggin' Blogger! Since Friday, I've had issues getting to my blog. Serious issues... That didn't bug me so bad though.... What bugged me was not beig able to show my wife all the great comments people left for her on her birthday until the day after. Oh well.... It seems to be working now, so I guess it's all good. I probably would have sat around on the PC for far too long had it been working. So anyway... I'm looking around this morning, and I noticed some hits from Bloggy Award... And look at that.... I got this: Woohooo! Wow! I'm almost embarassed on the write up... How cool is it when people say good things about what you have worked so hard on? Thanks Bloggy Awards folks! I guess I am gonna go start my lazy Sunday... I've decided that the only thing on today's agenda is making a huge plate of nachos before the game.... other than that... I'm not doing jack. (well... I will run to church too, but you get the point).

Last night on Survivor....

Before we get too in to this... Make sure you visit my wife's page and wish her a happy birthday! First up- we see the teams- 4 tribes of four people... seperated by gender and age... (this thrilled the "older women"- they weren't real happy to be classified that way)... They all meet up on 'Exile Island', and Jeff explains that each week, somebody will be banished to live there "by themselves" (I guess the crew who will also be there don't count). Straight off the top, they go into their first reward challenge... Each tribe must pick one member to run across the island to a pile of skulls... smach open skulls until they find an amulet, and run back with their amulet. The first three tribes back get flint- the last tribe gets nothing AND has to leave somebody behind. The young women lose and they play 'rock paper scissors' to figure out who to leave. Misty loses but gets some good news.... Hidden somewehere on the island is an individual immunity idol. (BTW- this idol comes with some new rules- you don't have to say you have it until AFTER the votes are read... if you play it after your whole tribe votes for you, the person with the second highest votes goes home) At the Golden Girls camp, we find out Tina is a Lumber Jill- she busts her ass making a shelter, made the fire, found the water, etc... while the others struggled to keep up. Cirie has apparently never stepped foot out of her house... she reveals her great fear of....... Leaves! OMG! She is scared of friggin leaves! How funny is that? She came on Survivor- a show where you spend a little over a month camping out, and you are scared of leaves? Anyway- At the boys camp, we learn that the 4 younger men are the biggest idiots to ever play the game. They start off by playing a little rock baseball before they realize they need to get a camp set up. Aras pulls the guys together to try to meditate about getting fire- yeah... ok... I don't think they ever got it to work. Then they throw some sticks against a tree and some leaves on it and call that shelter. Austin had the most observant comment that came from any of them: "We don't have a clue what we are doing". The 'Spice Girls' weren't much better than the young guys... They wandered around trying to find the best space to set up camp. And they wandered. And they wandered. Picture trying to arrange furniture... What about this corner... No wait... let's try it over there... etc.... Then they found a dead turtle. Courtney decides that she needs to have some big ordeal with the turtle... she draws a heart around it- she places a shell as a headstone... she sends out notifications to it's next of kin, etc... The Old guys start a fire, build a shelter, add a game room and a smoking lounge onto it, and then Shane remembers he smokes three packs a day but forgot to bring any with him. So he should go nice and nuts in the next few days... Meanwhile on Exile Island, we get treated to Misty digging up earthworms and eating them. That was pleasant. :) Immunity challenge Beginning on platforms in the ocean, the tribes must race over a wall, dive into the ocean and swim to their tribe raft. The last person over the wall dives down to unclip a rope, releasing the raft. The tribe then paddles the raft towards shore. Once the tribe latches their raft to the hitching post on shore, they race to solve a brainteaser puzzle, which releases a giant ring. The tribe has the option to dig down several feet and search to uncover an answer key to solve the puzzle. Once the ring is released, the tribe attaches it to a rope that they use to throw at a grappling hook to unfurl their tribe flag. The first three tribes to raise their flags win Immunity. OK- That was a mouthful, so I copied it off of CBS's website. I hope they make all the challenges this year that complicated! We get treated to our first breast shot- unfortunately it is from Cirie. Ewwwwww..... Anyway The young girls hauled butt and won the thing... Then the old guys made it shortly after. The young guys struggled getting their raft unhooked and it looked like they might lose, but the Geezer Girls couldn't figure out the puzzle. So the Ancients are heading to tribal Council. I won't even go into the camp stuff, but at Tribal Council I saw one of the DUMBEST first vote offs in the history of the game. The weak ladies voted off their workhorse. The one who knew how to handle the outdoors. the strongest one on the team that could have helped them win a time or two. They got rid of Tina. And they kept Cirie- and her fear of leaves to hold them back. I agree with what Tina said at the end... I hope they do terrible. All in all- I like the new twists. It adds something new to the game that has become way too predictable. Let's hope the season is as good as the opening show.

Groundhogs and Rats.....

OK.... Let me get this straight.... Punxsutawney Phil - The little friggin rodent came out today and saw his shadow! So... as the legend goes, we are in store for 6 more weeks of winter.... Ummmmm.... We haven't had 6 DAYS of winter yet. 6 weeks would be great! Bring em on Phil! I dare ya! Meanwhile, back in reality... I need to mow my yard, trim my plants back that have been overproducing all "winter" long, and work on my tan. Today, our "winter" temperature should only get up to 78. brrrrrr.... Break out the parkas! And tonight- Survivor - Exile Island starts! Woohooo! This time, they are splitting them up into 4 tribes of four... And each week, somebody will get to stay alone on the exile island.... Who knows if this twist will be the greatest thing since sliced bread, or be a huge flop like last time they tried to strand somebody overnight (she loved it, and she ended up quitting the next day). Anyway... Can't wait to see how it goes... Tune in tomorrow and hopefully I'll give my review!
