I didn't have an empty can to pour the bacon grease in tonight, so I thought maybe I'd try a plastic cup. What? It's possible nothing would go wrong!
The weird thing is, it didn't leak..it just shrunk. And smelled funny. So while it may not look like it...I'd have to call this a success.

D's out playing poker tonight and I just got a text message from him that read, 'I love you more than Glenn Beck himself...!'
Sweet...but what does this mean? I've narrowed it down to 3 possibilities...
A. He loves me more than he loves Glenn Beck. (odd)
B. He loves me more than Glenn Beck loves me. (hopefully obvious) or..
C. He should switch to water now. :)
I'm goin w/ C ;)
Or, could be D, he needs more money.
Nice job on the science experiment btw. You should use it in class.
Yes, the boys learned a lesson.
How was pizza night?
Generally plastic and any sort of ridiculously hot liquids do not mix, but I can understand it happening after my kitchen fire incident a few months ago. I'm glad to hear you didn't get burned...you didn't get burned did you?
We had an unintentional physics experiment one time. We had a Pyrex dish in the oven with water in it to keep the food in the oven moist. But one time the water all evaporated off. Instead of letting it cool by itself, someone decided to put cold water on it and BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!! The dish exploded. Since no one was hurt the "experiment" was pretty cool.
I think the question about D is definitely C, and I'm not sure if it's A or B as well. I hope it's not A. Well I hope he loves you more than the sick freak, but I hope he meant something else by it though.
Yeah, I knew it wasn't the best idea..but I was desperate. The recycling truck came today, so I had nothin. No, I didn't get burned..but I appreciate the concern! Note to self about the Pyrex!
I'm goin w/ C., too.
Yea Michigan State! Way to go Sparties!
State won, eh? Cool, they're goin to the Elite 8 then.
Za nite was good. S & I committed to a new sunday school class startin this sunday. Gonna be an interestn one I think. may take the group a couple a weeks to get used to my sense a humor tho.
Don't ask.
Good for you guys. Uuuf..yeah...best a luck to the lot that's gotta deal with you.
I mean that in a good way. Yeah, there's no good way to take that.
So, the last couple a days I've been on the food straight and narrow. Even limited myself to 2 pcs a za and 1 brownie at the get-together. THEN, I go to p/u the girls from work and they mention stoppin by Taco Bell.
Taco Bell did me in.
That's so funny. D came home late last night and brought me some Bell "just in case". Dang it.
yeah, hard not to make a "run for the border" sometimes.
So I watched Expelled. Meh..it was ok. Did make me feel like I have potential to be a sociopath, which was unfortunate.
Re Expelled: Let me guess, you could go either way :)
Ok, so I'm thinkin about hittn some garage sales manana cause we need some chairs and some sorta table for the back yard (remember, I'm cheap). There's a neighborhood wide one near. Manana, it haggle city!
good luck shoppin...I'm sure you'll score some deals.
gn
Ha! Neil Cavuto just played your "I blow my nose at you...silly English kannnn-igits" scene on his show.
Great clip!
"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elder berries!"
Went up to Petsmart and picked up 3 Neon Tetras and one Gary. :) One fish is already dead and he's not even in our tank yet. Wimpy thing..can't take a little trauma. Gotta return him now.
Any good deals out there, Havic?
Well, we're off to another live band/loud bar bday party. Wahoo! Good luck, tonight Havic. I am hoping for your good fortune. I'll check in later to see if you've let us how how you did. Remember: poker face, darlin. POKER face!
No deals good enough either way.
It was fun. 90 some-odd players. I made it down to, I guess, around 30 some-odd. Never did get any decent cards. Honest!
Seriously, my best hand (card wise) was the first one (pair a ladies). I ran two good all-in bluffs that basically kept me goin. Got called on the last one tho w/ a pair a 6's. Lost to a freakin pair a 8's on...you guessed it, the last freakin card.
Man, yall'r party animals!
Any chance you'll do some singn yonite? Oh, come on!
Fish killer!!
Alright. First of all..I'm no fish killer. I returned him (alive..barely), and got 3 more..all of which are doing well. Interesting bit...I was complaining to the Petsmart gal about my high PH, and she said if I have well water, there's not much I can do. So that made me feel better. I'm just gonna try to buy hardy fish and hope for the best.
Glad to hear you had a good time! Sounds like a good showing. Nice job bluffin while you did. Do you think they had your number after awhile, or did you switch tables? I was really hopin you'd win it big...cuz maybe then I'd hit you up for TWO bookmarks...and it's all about me.
Singin..no. Dancing? Sure! Sleep? As soon as possible.
Sure, blame the water. Green freak!
Sounds like yall hada good time as well.
Tough to bluff when you go all in w/ 6 chips.
Earlier one here manana..gn!
Mornin!
Actually kinda cold here, 39 degrees cold! I'm guessn we won't see 30s again for about 8 months or so. Oh well, we DO live on the equator.
I'm still alittle chapped that I got such crappy cards last nite. I was hopin it would be the beginnin of a new career, RecknHavic...professional poker player.
Hello sheetrock.
Mornin! (Well it is to me seein that I just dragged my sorry bum outta bed. Ahhh...watchin the Sunday morning news shows in a quiet house! :))
All in w/ 6 chips..lol. Yes, it's always a harder pill to swallow when you lose on the river. Maybe you have a tell that you're unaware of. Maybe you pick the paint off your fingernails or somethin. ;)
Cold here, too. Toppin out at 43. Brrr.
How was the new bible study? You do that and then go to the service? That's a lotta god-fearin for one morning!
I think the tell was that the fella that called me asked first, "Do you want me to call?" and I said no.
Gettn up at the crack a noon is a GOOD thing.
It looks like it's gonna be interestn, one a the two people leadn it just got outta seminary so there's that too. We sign a group covenant next week, so it WILL be a commitment. So yes, w/ that & church we're state agents on God-fearin.
For how long is the commitment? How does it work..do you pick a part of it you wanna study and concentrate on that one part? Did you get any blank stares yet or were you pretty quiet on your first day? :)
I'm watching the end of The Truman Show. Have you seen it?
State plays at 2:30 (1:30 for you equatorial people) We're playing Louisville. Louisville. Bigest claim to fame is Col. Sanders and Mohammed Ali. Go Green!
6 mos. We're gonna rotate bringin somethin for breakfast and meet at 9 and start class at 9:15. Also gonna have a once a month home fellowship (which is basically snacks, drinks & visitin). It's a Christian fundamentals (not fundamentalist, tho that's appropriate i guess) study. Not really an apologitics deal, but it'll definitely help w/ that. First thing I learned: water-liquid, ice & steam- is not a valid example of the Trinity because it can't be all three at once. I haven't mentioned the "time" (past, present & future) thing yet. Ohhh...you know I will.
Holy cow! 6 months? Wow.
R>First thing I learned: water-liquid, ice & steam- is not a valid example of the Trinity because it can't be all three at once.
I coulda told you that. ;)
Maybe you could pass on some of the especially interesting stuff along to me. You learn better when you teach it to someone else, you know. It might be fun, think about it.
Seen it, it was ok.
I'm pickin State to go all the way. Sorry, I realize I just killed ant chance they have :( so, are ya watchin it?
Jinx! FINALLY beat ya!
R> Not really an apologitics deal, but it'll definitely help w/ that.
You guys really have to stop apologizing for being Christian. It's OK! We're not judging you. ;)
Dang it.
Yes, I'm watching it.
Sooo, I tanned yesterday at this dealio that S & D have been goin to for a couple a weeks. They wanted to get a base tan, ya know, before the temps reach the boilin point here. Anyhow, S gotta free 3 day tan trial thing and I figured since I got an exterior comin up in a couple a weeks I'd go. Man, you talk about a fish outta water; that place screams "shela". When I walked in literally all the conversations stooped. Instead a "can I help you sir? I got a "whata you want?" When I said I was there for a tan you'da thought I ordered a steak at a vegan diner.
Lol! Yeah, that's sorta hard to picture. Sounds like you scared em!
omg...too funny.
Funny you should mention that, tho. We're headin to DC in like 9 days and it's pretty warm there. Warm enough to actually show your arms. eeek! So I was thinking about doing the same thing just so I'm not glowing. It's so bad for you, tho. ugh.
Ok, just the thought of wearing a tshirt made be do some reps w/ the free weights.
I find basketball stressful.
Sparty On!
It's snowing! Pretty darn hard, too! Hope the Easter Bunny owns a sweater!
"Here comes Peter Cottontail...hoppin down the bunny trail...hippity hoppity, Easter's on it's waaaaayyyy.."
I'll never get used ti it snowin there this time a yr. Weird.
"We're headin to DC in like 9 days and it's pretty warm there."
Define warm.
They were nicer this time, guess they realized they already had two of us committed to a monthly thing and had some dollar signs in their eyes. Altho, when I first walked in I did getta, "Oh...it's YOU."
Well, we're almost done w/ round 2 of the great spring leaf rake. actually, all this wind we've had lately has (hopefully) sped thins up. Three rounds last yr. It's the price you pay for havin umteen oak trees. Anxious to paint the yard before it greens up some more.
Who won?
Spartans, baby!
It was 77 and sunny there today...explain to me again why you need tanning beds?
I think warm is...gosh it's been so long I've forgotten. Maybe 60? I'll let ya know when it's 60 if I'm warm.
Yes, it would be a crime if you didn't get to spray chemicals on your lawn before it greens up naturally on its own.
R> Altho, when I first walked in I did getta, "Oh...it's YOU."
I'd have thought you'd be used to that by now, with you coming home from work every day and all.
Yes, getting the leaves up is a pain when you have lotsa trees. At least you don't have trees in the back to worry about.
Doh! Stalker alert!
"I'd have thought you'd be used to that by now, with you coming home from work every day and all."
You're very funny.
77, no kiddin; that's warmer than we got today.
Google earth freak!
Oh, congrats State! I think they'll win it all.
R> 77, no kiddin; that's warmer than we got today
I meant YOU.
Doh! Uh, yeah, snow & 77 aren't too compatible.
Actually, i thought it felt fairly cool today.
Aww...didjaaaa? Didja have to wear socks?
Alright, there's still snow on the ground, but I refuse to send my kids to school in boots cuz it's March 30th and I'm predicting its meltage by recess time.
And why hadn't I heard of this "Earth Hour 2009" thing where people dimmed their lights Saturday night? (Or turned them all on for you rebels.) The amount of time I watch a lot of cable news and I heard nothing! Bizarre.
This Big 3 thing is bad, people. Bad.
They were tennis socks, you know, so I could get more sun on my legs.
Earth Hour '09 is a HUGE deal! How could you not know about this?! We cut all our power, went outside, stood in a circle & did druid chants till dawn. We MUST save mother earth!!!
Don't worry cause I'm sure the govt will fix the Big 3 just like they fix everything else they mess w/. large bureaucracies have excellent track records of great management skills and innovative fixes.
Or...Mich's really scr*w*d.
Oh, that's what it was! Well, we do that every Saturday night, so no biggie.
Have you guys seen the ad for Old El Paso Stand n Stuff taco shells? Where the guy is hammering nails into the table so the taco doesn't fall over and then they throw the kid who thought of the flat bottomed shell, on their shoulders in celebration? omg...I love that.
Nope, but that's a great idea! tacos that don't fall over.
They're awesome. The opening's wider, too. We never get anything but.
We had spam tonite, chicken fried of course.
I'm sorry.
Hmmm...comment didn't go through..
We just had us a true thunder storm (hail & all). March has been good to us rain-wise.
There was more but can't recall (go figure)..
I'm glad you're getting rain.
Holy cow, your short term memory's shot too! :)
Wow, I haven't been here in awhile. You guys have been busy. So are ya rootin' for State, or is that like a Longhorn fan rootin' for the Aggies? (ie. not gonna happen)
So my bracket is busted. At least I got UNC right. I usually go with my heart. This time I went with the logical approach and didn't pick UConn. But anyway, UConn's looking pretty good, and Michigan State's going down! :D
About the rain, my hopes are up that the drought is coming to an end. We've had a ton of rain over the last three weeks, relatively speaking anyway. I'm hoping it keeps up so we don't have to use that much water on our garden.
Hi Nestor!
Yeah, when do you start planting, or did you do it already? I haven't decided what I'm gonna do yet. I found a neat 3ft X 3 ft. raised garden bed for a patio. I thought that would be good to put on the deck, but D's worried we don't get enough sun to justify puttin too much into the venture, so I may just do a couple pots.
Yes, I'm rooting for State. I didn't go to either school, so I root for both of em. My bro went to U of M, but I had a lot of friends go to State and I visited both schools a lot, so I'm not bitter about either. My grandpa actually taught at State, so my mom grew up in that town, so she's a Sparty, but my brother and his wife both are Wolverines and Ann Arbor's close to where I live. It's a cool town. Aren't you glad you asked? :)
We planted a few weeks ago. We started the last weekend in Feb, and for two weeks after that we were planting. The last frost is supposed to be March 15th so we got a little early start, but everything turned out OK. We got close to a frost after that, but we didn't quite get down to freezing. Most of the plants are doing OK so far.
We're usually good to plant around Mother's Day, but a lot of the veggies I looked into said to start them indoors 6 weeks prior to the last (I did it, I'm) frost. Problem is we don't have good windows to grow stuff. I know..what's with this house? We have one south facing window and it's in B's room.
Ok, NOW I get it!
We're thinkin about buyn onea those upside down, hangin tomato plant thig-a-ma-bobs. Saw em at HEB.
That & pot, we're gonna grow a bunch a pot.
Those tomato things are neat. I was just showing a picture of one of those in a gardening mag, to my mom tonight. We had the 4th grade concert tonight. Very cute...playing their recorders.
Pot...lol!
I'm not sure if you heard, there's a movement to legalize that stuff. But I think if you're going to grow it, you'll need a Tax ID number.
Recorders, no kiddin. Lil S's grade got those. she's always playin "Hot Cross Buns". Gets upset when I start singin Row Row Row Your Boat when she does.
Tax ID? Tax ID?...we don't need no stinkin tax ID.
T was playing Hot Cross Buns, too and I said "hey! Hot Cross Buns!" and he freaked out that I knew it. He thought his teacher made it up. I sang along with the tune though..cuz I'm a good person.
I'm technically tired...why can't I sleep?
Ooooh! Maybe I'll read. That'll make me tired.
It's that tune, it's impossible to sleep w/ that tune in your head.
Lol...be quiet.
Nice use of the "that'll"!
Go to sleep...
That's funny. When my kids sing "I've been workin' on the railroad", I start singin' "Eyes of Texas".
Ha..I had a dream that a chicken fried steak place opened up the street.
I didn't sleep enough.
“What is it about a beautiful sunny afternoon, with the birds singing and the wind rustling through the leaves, that makes you want to get drunk?”
Another "Deep Thoughts" from Jack Handy
Food dreams are the best!
jinx.
That's hilarious. Is there a place to look up jack handy stuff cuz there was one that had me in tears. I'd love to try to find that. I'll google.
It's sunny here! Gonna be 54 but really windy, so it'll feel upper 40's. ugh.
Should be in the 80s later today here.
So, our weird car day yesterday.
We had a pretty good hail storm and I've got 4 (rather sm, hard to see) dents on the hood of my truck. But the weird thing is the Accord & Olds van. There's scratches all over the hoods and sides. Especially noticeable on the Accord. No way from hail; after inspectin it I've come to the conclusion that it must been from an animal. Nothin else make any sense.
"It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man." JH
I'm crackin up...I don't think you can get em all tho w/out buying the book. Gosh, those made me laugh when they came on SNL.
That IS strange. Are you sure the hail couldn't have scraped the sides? It's awfully coincidental these scratches mysteriously appeared after a hail storm. I'm just sayin.
If you're sure it's not from the hail...you might wanna consider taking the pic-i-nic baskets out of your cars.
JH was funny.
It is a weird coincident, but hail doesn't produce random scratches like this. I figure it was a dog tryn to get at some critter. Most of the scratches are in sets of three or four (spaced consistently) w/ what looks like claws. Most of the ones on the sides are at the same level. Still, it's very strange. Looks like car was driven through deep brush.
"Children need encouragement. So if a kid gets an answer right tell him it was a lucky guess. That way, he develops a good, lucky feeling."
I'm laughing uncontrollably here, wiping tears.
I'm thinkin aliens.
You should do that when you're teachin.
How would you like to be the guy who had to test Billy Mays' "Mighty Mendit" on his freakin PARACHUTE?!
I quite enjoyed Lost tonight. I liked that bit they did w/ Hurley and the other dude, talking about how time travel works. I have a feeling the writers threw that in for us viewers who are having the same type of discussions. Funny.
The Chupacabra Reck. The Chupacabra.
"The Chupacabra Reck. The Chupacabra."
That's it!!
Yeah, I think they threw that in to keep us taggin along. Atleast they answered Hurley's question about Ben. Now we know why he doesn't remember Sayid.
Next week....judgment day!
Could be very exciting. Course the scenes for next week always are.
Now I'm actually embarrassed that I didn't think of the Chupacabra. I feel foolish about my "aliens" comment. I don't know what I was thinking. Clearly, I wasn't.
It's all right Linda. The reptile/hairless-dog like Chupacabra couldn't possibly tolerate the 11.7 months of winter you guys have up there so it's not likely to be high on your list of things that might terrorize a vehicle...or livestock. OK, I'm just kidding, 8 months of winter.
Ouch. Here's something to look forward to! Tomorrow's forcast....
"Rain. A chance of thunderstorms through early afternoon through late afternoon...then rain and snow. Little or no snow accumulation expected. Otherwise cloudy and windy. Highs 45 to 49...then temperatures slowly falling. Northeast winds 10 to 20 mph...becoming northwest 20 to 30 mph...with gusts to 40 mph. Chance of precipitation 100 percent."
So Ben's big April fools joke was to say he had a bladder infection and then say "april fools!"
I know..I have no idea.
That kid! Where, oh where, does he he get this stuff?
Sounds like an ugly forecast.
I really don't know where he would have heard that. Makes me wonder if Sponge Bob ever had one.
More likely it was Dora.
Comment # 100..YES!!!
Self high five!
Dora...lol. Tryin to remember if she ever used her map to find the walk-in clinic.
T: "I thought we'd heard the END of Rod Blagojevich!"
Didn't we all...
Our pics:
R- Jal rew, Tim imm, Taj out
S-Jal rew, Jal imm, Coach out
We're gonna be a bit late here I think. Our heads aren't in it yet. I swear I don't know how you people buckle down at 7:00 for prime time tv. D's cleaning the garage, the kids are out playing, I'm just starting the bathtub for em...etc. Trust that we won't watch before we pick. And I haven't read your picks, just that you made em.
Holy cow...are you DVRing or what? Looks like a big ER night for Summer! Hope she likes the finale!
Ha! What a riot. Get a load of our pics..I swear we didn't look first!
D: see Reck
L: see Summer except I have Timb for rew., not Jal.
funny.
Oh...we're about to watch sans adverts now!
We just watched it.
Yeah, they're kickin me outta the bd rm so they can watch it.
I'll ck later for the scores.
Stupid ER.
ok! I'm to right after immunity challenge.
Here ya go!
tonight:
R: 5
S: 2
D: 4
L: 3

R: 28
S: 26
D: 22
L: 33
That was pretty good. Had a feeling at tribal she was going, but I wasn't sure.
The come back begins!
Feelin nervious?
So, S & D we're p*ss*d after the last ER. Said it was the worst episode ever. Very lame.bGuess it joins a long list a worst last episodes of greta shows. Seinfeld comes to mind.
Oh shoot...see that's why I was hopin they'd like it. Those last episodes are touchy for fans.
Yes. I'm nervous...you're catchin up! Havic!
