Supporting Tad (very UnPC do not read if offended)

My sister and I just laughed so hard my stomach still hurts. And of course it was a topic prolly only we find funny and is very unPC in a way When I visited at the end of April. Ssome kids down the block found supposed tadpoles and gave my nephew one of them. Since then my sister has been dealing with this thing. She's been like I have not cleaned the water or anything and it still lives. She then was asking me how long it takes for a tadpole to turn into a frog - and I said hmm and teasing said about 4 - 6 weeks (I think really most varieties itakes about 8 - 10 weeks) Well this set her off cause she was like Julie it is a frog head and tail and no legs, it is deformed. I wanna get rid of it. I have it on the microwave and it is just like staring at us. So I start teasing - well you left it on the microwave so it got zapped and is deformed now and is prolly going to turn into a monster – or maybe it will never grow its legs . And I go on about well you could oopsie it inttoil...

Just some random funnies and idle blips of life

Was getting gas yesterday and pulled in and there is a pickup truck with a big boat. I pull up and ask for my $10.00 worth and watching finally notice the guy up on the boat fillig it up - he is shaking his head going, "Shit, oh damn, shit." Well we keep getting our gass and he is muttering and occasionally grinning so I have to ask next time I catch his eye, "How much" "306 gallons and I thought it was not empty, oh shit." My next thoughts are - "Crap fill my tank hurry before he sucks the damn gas station dry" lol ------------ My co worker is a goof but then so am I - so we are always laughing. He was telling me flag football stories yesterday as he was preparing for the schools annual staff vs players softball game. He use to use the hup swivel step to keep his flag safe. So here is this grown man demonstrating how he'd be running and then do a "hup" and like shot his hip out and over and skip while still running. He said ...

Life's F*ing ironic Cycles and A good concert

Well been long week - Thursday was my anniversary - well ex-anniversary now I guess. It is also the day my ex called and said he had signed and I needed to sign the property settlement divorce papers as that is the major step in the divorce (still have to do the file in court and he wants to do it early so I am whatever) so hey is that a life cycle for you or what... married and the separation official process all on the same day.... we have biologic cycles, weather cycles, oceanic cycles, geologic cycles, bank checking cycles, menstrual cycles, guess my relation went in a big cycle too.... funny - more than feeling melancholy over being anniversary I was more depressed over fact I was not depressed about being divorced (well separated, official court stamp still needed for the d word) and yet I thought I should be and then realized what really hit me is the not being in a relationship Friday had to sit through this web conference for work that was not scheduled until 3pm - who sche...

Stone Pony, Don't Look, Don't Look - ha made you look

Keeping Busy Whew- had an awesome day Sunday – went to a concert with a friend from work – traveled up the parkway to Asbury Park and the Stone Pony to see John Eddie and Lisa Marie Prelsey – that was fun. We got to Asbury park early and fond it is a run down place and true shore town as the venus the stone pony is across from the boardwalka dn the ocean and nothing really was open. We walked around a bit, hit a local dive to have a drink watching the locals. My friend enjoyed teasing me as I was facing her and she started decribing this one person. My back was of course to the person and from the colorful description what is the first thing I wanna do??? Turn around, and of course I can’t, not in a place like this and her describing this person. Don't look, don't, okay drop a napkin damn she moved, try to stretch damn she moved, stop laughing at me Donna and stop telling me all the funny, I wanna see dman it. Actually the person I went with was funny and kept getting me in...

Plugging away to the end of semester and stuff

Finals week for one college class I teach and last lecture and lab this week for the other with final next Tuesday. My students conned me into driving out to the college yesterday to hold a review for them. I am such a push over - hour drive out and back to help them review... but I was glad some showed up and if it helps them... then that is what matters. That is the type of person I am - kinda pain in the ass for me - but it matters to me to help people out and do stuff. So many people today don't take the extra step or only sometimes do or even end up getting kicked or ignored I figure enough shit comes from other sources why be a source of that myself... of course that leads to sucker being printed on forehead and ending up in situations that are really more pain than pleasure... but I keep sticking my hand out to help and sometimes yeah it gets chopped off... I suppose the practical side of me knows one day the hand does not grow back, one day I do not hold it out... But u...

Field Trip rocked and other interesting notes

Awesome field trip, the students were great, weather rocked and we stopped by Pat's Steaks in Philly on way back for lunch. And I did not get lost, lose any students or have anyone injured - even though we had to go down a couple of outcrops on our butts, yay prides, butts and all intact! The students enjoyed it, many never having really done anything like this and saying they never had a teacher who made them do stuff like this or made them laugh and the like. I mean I had them up and down the hillside, on hands and knees peering at rocks, digging in the dirt for sediment, drinking from the stream and acting like a bunch of giddy kids. Plus they learned something too!!! Lol I love checking different things out and traveling and learning. Listening to the students talk was great and fun and the drive up and back was cool too, got into a lot of conversations cause the students range in age from 16 to upper 40s in my class - that is a great mix because the perspectives are so dive...

Field trip a comin and cooking yummies

Well decided to celebrate Cinco de Mayo by cooking – made tortilla chip and green chile crusted salmon, jalapeno chicken sausage, and homemade Mexican rice. Only thing missing was my jalapeno cornbread – I was not that ambitious… lol Finishing up more grading for my geology class. We have a field trip scheduled for tomorrow morning but weather may call it off, well the students think it will be called off, We are meeting at 7:30 and if I can break into the college if still raining, we will have the field trip anyways – yes they are not getting a day off – I am a "hard ass make them work" teacher… :-P If we do go, should be fun. It is a nice location in the middle of Philadelphia – yes a park in the city and yes geology there too – lol Actually to do most field trips I have to have the students drive at least an hour or so (and listen to them whine) cause well southern NJ is FFFFLLLLAAAATTTT – lol Not to dis where I live but except for the funny make me laugh so hard I chok...

I think things are messed up bad and I never meant to do it god help me if she does something stupid... I have been trying to do the right, nice thing... i think I am failing... death, despair, the cancer and shit are winning.. trying to stay more in the mndset like my last posts... but I am a bit worried here... not for me, for her...

But Saturday was ok - taught my lab in the morning - we did shorelines and beaches - aka why those idiots buying million dollar plus homes in California and here along NJ shore are idiots and throwing their money away and why people Wildwood laughing their asses off as Ocean City and towns North of WW spend millions of tax dollars to pump sand onto the beaches that is swept away by nature and deposited guess where - Wildwood - LMAO - hehehehe - wait I pay taxes although I do not live in a shore town - yet somehow some of my taxes still go to beach replentishment.... oh FUBAR Anyway after lab a person from work, her son's school 4-8th grade puts on a musical every year and his babysitter ...
