You know, I don't think that the fact that the president of Tyson Foods has an exact replica of the oval office got due attention. Holy cow. What's his name - I want to google him.
Heard on the radio that a Michael M. Bormann died, guessing from his age he would have been in Tom or maybe Jim's class. He was from Whittemore, had been living in Minneapolis and died in a snowmobile accident.
I would be happy to deliver a complimentary back o' the head slap to the next 100 people who refer to themselves and whoever thinks like them as "We the People" up to and including Tea Party pandering politicians. Just call me. (But don't call me "wee the people." Way to ruin an iconic phrase for the rest of us, blockheads.)
I was just thinking it would be so nice if we were all at a wedding on a beautiful day such as the one pictured! This is really ridiculous. Renovation going on in our bathroom. Super loud. I just came back from a two hour drive just to get out of the house and so the kids would nap.
-20 windchill here while waiting for the bus this morning. I wore wool socks and flannel lined jeans. Wasn't too bad, but the extreme cold my my eyes water and freeze.
Happy Birthday, Nick! :-) Congrats to Braden for winning the Spelling B! :-) A little bragging: Last semester and this semester(?) Donny was on the honor roll and this semester he rec'd a very prestigious "achievement award." His homeroom/science teacher wrote him a beautiful note about his organizational success and how much his classmates love his personality. Woohoo...we're so proud of him!
On March 30th Eli will be confirmed and he chose my brother, Bobby, to be his sponsor...my Dad will be his proxy. In May, Donny will receive 1st holy communion.
I'm now for the Packers...Bears should have put Haney in right away!!! JETS were still in the locker room for the first half...they could have won with a few more minutes!!!
Congrat to Donny, that's great. Let us know what date for 1st Communion.
Desmond's book is in the top 20 on Amazon.com best new releases for "Cat, Dog and Animal Humor" !!!
A Japanese holdout was discovered on the island of Vella Lavella in the Solomons in 1965, but rumored sightings have occurred into the 80's. I never heard of Vella Lavella but it was the base of the Black Sheep Squadron during the war in the Pacific. They changed the name of the island slightly in the TV show.
I miss everybody! I agree with the comments that I'd like to re-live this wedding day instead of going to work when it's dark and coming home when it's dark and freezing. (Hard to believe our seven month anniversary is coming up! We already spaced on the half year mark.)
The new job at Drake is going OK — I can't believe how many activities there are every single day. I'd rather be busy then bored, but I'd rather be not too busy to go to the rec center and get a workout in over lunch. Also, I miss blogging. I started a new blog, but my grad classes started this week and so that went by the wayside already.
Looking forward to Caroline's baptism this weekend!
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — An Alabama law firm claims in a lawsuit that Taco Bell is using false advertising when it refers to using "seasoned ground beef" or "seasoned beef" in its products.
The meat mixture sold by Taco Bell restaurants contains binders and extenders and does not meet the minimum requirements set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be labeled as "beef," according to the legal complaint.
Attorney Dee Miles said attorneys had Taco Bell's "meat mixture" tested and found it contained less that 35 percent beef.
I don't eat beef, so I might be very excited about this news...but what are the fillers??? What kind of crap might be in the tacos or is it harmless and healthy soy, we need to know. Imagine how many kids eat these every day!
It's good to see an article about the League of Extraordinary Nations, formed in the dark days of the insurrection by Sean Connery, Batman, Crocodile Dundee and Woodrow Wilson to secretly combat Boers, space aliens, the Shakers and Germany. The League doesn't get enough credit.
Listening to a call in talk show on the radio this morning a caller related how she was working at a c-store and an irate customer came in because the price at the pumps was not the same as listed on the big board near the road.
"...He came in and he was absolutely rancid! Screaming and yelling...."
Speaking of smelling rancid, I have a laundry question. First I have to tell you Caroline may have an allergy or intolerance to avocado. She's eaten it fine before, but the last two times she had it she threw up. We'll wait until she's older and try it again. Anyway, last time she threw up, I have not been able to get the smell out of het crib sheet. It finally came out of her sleeper with a third washing. It's s weird meaty, mineralish smell, not like vomit. I've tried washing with a vegetable-based soap we use for her cloth diapers, regular detergent, and soaking it in oxyclean. I mean, we obviously have other crib sheets so it doesn't really matter, but any other suggestions before I toss it?
Zout is the best stainfighter that I know of. That and bleach of course, with hot wash and rinse cycles. But for smell, maybe add some baking soda in the wash.
Lisa had a couple articles printed in the Mirror, our diocesan newspaper. It's the 100th year anniversary of our diocese and she did a pair of stories avbout two Council Bluffs Catholic ladies who also turned 100.
Mike just landed in San Fran...he and Des will begin their cross country trek on Sat. morning. The movers will be there tomorrow, Des is still working so Mike is there to supervise the movers. A fun Father/Son trip, they plan to take a southern route, going thru Santa Fe. and then end up in Algona. (the movers will take a more direct route!)
Ellen J. Febreze for the laundry gets just about any odor out. It costs around $9 for a bottle. Soak the sheet in a concentrated solution of it and water then wash as usual. It works especially well for mildew type odors. The only thing it doesn't completely deodorize is that nasty sports sweat odor in the kids athletic clothes....but it does make it a lot better. Hope that helps. Kelli

What happens when the Jets beat N.E.?
Brady pulls his hair out!!
(He's getting hair plugs, that's why he never took his wooly cap off)
Go Jets!!

Yeah I heard about this. I think maybe Pete's class? Maurice Bormann family.
P
Wow. Dr. William Price was quite a fellow!
I love this picture of the 3 boys.

That sounds like a cool place to teach, Frank.
Sounds like a cool place Frank. Cathy, I'll delivery a complementary slap to your slap.
p
OK, I'll offering one and you can delivery the other.
Perfect!
p
Delivery a patriotic Paul Revere slap and maybe they'll go wee,wee,wee all the way home.
I have a similar photo but with Jude..it's on my fridge...love it!
I can't get on the Straub execise blog, says I have to be invited. I know I'm going to win, but I didn't know y'all knew!
I wish we were all at the wedding right now!!!
--25 wind chill, school is getting out even tho it's sunny, the wind is howling.
I'mm gonna tie a rope around me before I walk over to Pep's at 5:30!
I was just thinking it would be so nice if we were all at a wedding on a beautiful day such as the one pictured! This is really ridiculous. Renovation going on in our bathroom. Super loud. I just came back from a two hour drive just to get out of the house and so the kids would nap.
Does Scott know you're leaving the kids to go out for a drive?
Did anyone see Michael force Kevin to eat broccoli on The Office? I haven't watched that show for awhile but I caught it tonight. Oh boy it was funny.
Holy cow it is cold here. -19 when I woke up today. Windchill of -30.
My furnace hasn't stopped running.
Monica
That's pretty cold!
OK for you exercisers, I've changed settings on the blog. See if you can use it now.
P
-20 windchill here while waiting for the bus this morning. I wore wool socks and flannel lined jeans. Wasn't too bad, but the extreme cold my my eyes water and freeze.
It's just miserable. Why do I live here? I hate it.
I'm sad about the death of the last Eyak and her language.
It is sad!
p
Exercisers, go report your activity on the blog.
Walking in this cold with contacts on seems to really dry my eyes. So I walked with my glasses on and they get all fogged up!!!
Maybe you should just wear one contact and a monocle. That way one eye will work in each condition: inside and outside.
p
Do goggles fog up? That's what skiers do. You can wear a giant pair of goggles while walking the dogs.

Happy Birthday, Nick! :-)

Jim, are you torn? The Packer or the Steelers? Where do your loyalties lie?
Monica
Boo. Guess I'll be for the Packers.
Yeah I can't root for Ben Ruthlessburger.
p
Notre Dame (#15) takes on Pitt (#2) in basketball tonight. I have this feeling they are going to lose badly. ND is a streaky shooting team....
I'm now for the Packers...Bears should have put Haney in right away!!!
JETS were still in the locker room for the first half...they could have won with a few more minutes!!!

I was hoping the the Bears would win just because I like to say, "Da Bears!"

What is in that "meat"?
I just heard it has a lot of oats! Taco flavored oatmeal, anyone?
People are stupid...
Listening to a call in talk show on the radio this morning a caller related how she was working at a c-store and an irate customer came in because the price at the pumps was not the same as listed on the big board near the road.

Pretty sure she meant rabid.
Tom
Stick with chicken tacos!
Maybe he smelled funny.

Or white vinegar.

Jen's last night in San Fran was Sunday night, and then she flew out, this week she works in Denver, Dallas, Milwaukee and Chicago. A lot of flying!
Tell Mike and Des to visit some pueblos for me. I've always wanted to see some. I don't even know if they let tourists actually go into them, I guess.
Ahh, I want to go with Des and Mike. Sounds like fun-except the whole having to move part.
Monica
today in 2nd grade
Student: 'Mr. Straub, can I ask you a question?'
Me: 'Of course.'
Student: 'Are you a lesbian?'
Me: '.........................'
Des and Mike's road trip sounds like fun. Until I remember how much I hate driving.
Well, Frank?
Tom
let me check... nope.
hahahaha...I always wanted to ask Sr. Eugene that.
Not that there's anything wrong with it....
