Getting a post up on a story thread. It seems a bit more humorous to me than my usual postings but I think Luna will like it.

Cooking up midnight snack noms after taking an afternoon "nap" that lasted about 6 hours. Sweet potatoes, sausage and fresh-grated cheddar cheese makes tasty food.
 
Been looking for a new "signature perfume".

I love perfume. A good sexy perfume on me can actually make me wet all on its own. Same with a good sexy scent on my man.
 
Someone thought I'm Polish. And I had just had a conversation with them, in Polish. :D

Mmmmmm scents.

I don't like perfume on myself, most give me a headache, but there's some good body sprays etc now that I use.

I'll agree about man-scents though. I get a bit disgruntled when he deviates from the norm. I love the familiarity of it, I've tied that in with him in my brain.
 
Every once in a while - it seems to happen most often when I'm wondering if maybe the Earth First folks aren't right, and the world would be better off without people at all - I run into something that gives me hope that all is not lost.

O'Fallon, Mo., girl, 9, turns hobby into benefit for kids with cancer

Katie Hilke is a chatty third-grader except when it comes to her plan to help sick children. Instead of talking about how she raised $510, she shrugged her shoulders and giggled nervously before going back to work on her knitting.

= = = = =

Katie might have kept on making the caps for just family and friends if she hadn't seen the pamphlet her dad brought home for a golf tournament. Her dad, Don Hilke, used to be a golf pro and still plays in a lot of tournaments.

The event on the brochure was sponsored by a foundation set up by former pro football player Mark Rypien. On the cover was a picture of Rypien posing with a young cancer patient who was wearing a cap that looked a lot like the ones that Katie knitted.

"Kate looked at it for a while and you could see the light go on in her head," said her mom, Debbie Hilke. "She said 'Do you think I could make hats for kids with cancer?' And I said, 'Of course you can.' "

= = = = =

By August, Katie had finished 37 caps. When her dad told his friend, Chris Buehrle, about it, Buehrle suggested that Katie sell the caps at his annual golf tournament, which raises money locally for cancer research. Any money Katie raised could be earmarked for children.

Katie agreed and set up a table on the 10th green where she peddled her caps for $10 apiece. She sold every cap, and people donated all but one of them back so Katie could give them to children who had lost their hair. Others just donated money.

= = = = =

Katie's mom, of course, was beaming at the praise for her daughter, who plans to knit and sell the caps again next year. "Her dad and I are so proud, and it was neat that she came up with the idea herself," she said.

As for Katie, she listened to her what her mom said, lowered her blue eyes to the loom and got back to work.​

It's good when a sib knows one well enough to get something like that. You're a lucky guy, for many reasons.

Yep :)

My smile for today is finally being left alone in my own house with my family. It's amazing how peaceful everything is the moment the inlaws left. Also, perhaps this is a coincidence? My kids aren't awake and being badgered by their grandparents. Ahh, silence :)
 
Ok, so a friend sent this to me this morning and it made me giggle but I thought it was perhaps just the early hour... nope :D

Oh and so as not to mangle any delicate sensibilities that may be here :rolleyes: ;) Warning: Explicit. Which also means you have to sign in to view :( but thought I'd share anyway for those who want to.

He must have wanted a different kind of sauce on his nuggets.

Seriously?
 
I can't think where else to put this, short of starting a whole new thread, so I'll put it here, knowing that this is one of the most-read threads in the whole forum. :D

Why The ‘Check Engine’ Light Must Be Banned

It's pretty easy to dismiss the "check engine" light as just stupid, because, well, it is. I suppose if you thought that the cause of smoke coming from under your hood had something to do with the floor mats, then, sure, the "check engine" light is handy, but beyond that, it's useless. But that's not the real problem. The real problem is that the "check engine" light is a tool for the propagation of consumer ignorance about their cars. Which is why it needs to die. Now.

= = = = =

My mom, for example, is never going to be able to connect her laptop to the OBD-II connector somewhere under the dash in her Passat; it's hard enough explaining to her how to connect a printer to her Mac. If her Passat just told her what codes were being thrown, she would at least have an idea about the condition of her car.

= = = = =

Our cars need to tell us exactly what they're thinking, even if we have to yell at NHTSA to make a rule to make sure the manufacturers do it. Do I have to stand outside of the grocery store getting signatures to make that happen? Maybe. But it'll be worth it.

Do it for my mother — and yours.​

Sign The Petition To Ban The Stupid ‘Check Engine’ Light

.... We now have this petition up at whitehouse.gov demanding the creation of regulation to mandate descriptive fault information right in a car's dashboard.​

A Big Mac and some super fresh fries... maybe. But McNuggets? no way
