25 Things... You Find Out When You Have Young Children...

I found this, and it made me laugh. Maybe you all will enjoy it, too!

25 things you find out when you have young children

1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.

2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

3.) A 3-year old boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.

5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

7.) When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's already too late.

8.) Brake fluid mixed with WhiteKing makes smoke, and lots of it.

9.) A 6-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.

10.) Certain Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a 4- year old boy.

11.) 'Play Dough' and 'microwave' should not be used in the same sentence.

12.) Super Glue is forever.

13.) No matter how much Jelly you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.

14.) Pool filters do not like Jelly.

15.) VCR's do not eject Peanut Butter & Jam sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odour is.

19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.

20.) The fire department in East Melbourne has a 3-minute response time.

21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.

23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

24.) 80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.

25.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the WhiteKing and brake fluid.

Watch Your Change

When the economy get bad, people tend to dig into their coin/change jars. Which means all the change that is usually just sitting a jar is circulated, and a lot rarer coins are used. So, watch your change, because you may find some rare and valuable coins.

I know coin collecting seems like such a dull and worthless thing to do, but there is so much history and even economic implications (like how much copper is actually put into a penny)about when a coin is made. Also, it a great way to spend sometime with your kids teaching about things like that.

I do make it a point that with collecting, it is best not too seek out coins, because it costs a lot of money, but just to watch your change and see what you get lucky finding.

Times Keep on Rolling

While my presence this year has been nearly hit or miss, I am around. I truly have very little to say that is not redundant to others.

I will be posting my telling time with moon post up soon. I been preoccupied with reorganizing the things in my life and working through my education.

I know the swine flu has been on the news and such. I have no comments.

Hurricane Season is coming, so to my fellow Texans, start preparing.

Lastly, the best advice I have gotten all week is from a fellow blogger.
The advice was simply "Live, Da** it"

My comment upon that is that you should plan for tomorrow, but still enjoy today.
This way you don't miss anything, but you are always ready for anything that comes.

Opossum

Yes.. opossum... is spelled with a O..
Found this little bugger when I went out to take the trash out.
He wasn't too camera flash shy.
The first two are with flash, and the last is with natural lighting.
