I have been looking for a new icon but just can not come up with one that truly fits me if you have any ideas feel free to show me and then I will put the best ones up and you all can vote on them ok??!!

I love the eyes but it is time for something new and different!!

Here are some examples...











OK you get the idea right..??

Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 3 kids each for 6 weeks.

Each kid will play 2 sports and either take music or dance classes.

There is no fast food.

Each man must take care of his 3 kids; keep his assigned house clean, correct all homework, complete science projects, cook do laundry, and pay a list of "pretend" bills with not enough money.

In addition, each man will have a budget in money for groceries each week.

Each man must remember the birthdays of all their friends and relatives, and send cards out on time.

Each man must also take each child to a doctor;s appointment, a dentisit appointment and a haircut appointment. He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the Emergency Room (weekend, evening, on a holiday or right when they are leaving for a vacation). He must also make cookies or cupcakes for a social function.

Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house, planting flowers outside and keeping it presentable at all times.

Themen will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores are done.

There is only one TV between them, and a remote with dead batteries.

Each father will be required to know all of the words to every stupid song that comes on TV and all the names of each and every cartoon character.

Each man must shave their legs, wear makeup daily, which they will apply to themselves while driving or making 3 lunches.

Each man will have to make a Indian teepee model with 6 toothpicks, a tortilla and one marker, and get a 4 year old to eat a serving of peas.

Each man must adorn himself with jewelry, wear uncomfortable stylish shoes, keep thier nails polished and eyebrows groomed. They must try to get through each day without snot, spit-up, or barf on their clothing.

During one of the six weeks, the men will have to endure severe abdominal cramps, back aches, and have extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once complain or slow down from other duties.

They must try to explain what a tampoon is for when the 6 year old finds it in the purse.

They must attend weekly school meetings, church, and find time at least once to spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting.

He will need toread a book and then pray with the children each night without falling asleep, and then feed them, dress them, brush their teeth and comb their hair each and every morning by 7 AM. They must leave the home without no food on their faces or clothes.

A test will be given at the end of the 6 weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information:

**Each child's birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size, and doctor's name.

**Also each child's weight at birth, length, time of birth, and length of labor, each child's favorite color, middle name, favorite snack, favorite song, favorite drink, favorite toy, biggest fear and what they want to be when they grow up.

They must clean up after their sick children at 2:00 in the morning and then spend the remainder of the day tending to that child and waiting on them hand and foot until they are better.

They must have a loving, age appropriate reply to, "You are not the boss of me!"

The kids vote them off the island based on performance. The last man wins only if.....he still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moments notice.

If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18 - 25 years ...eventually earning the right to be called Mother!

Now add up the total number of points.

OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You're seen as vain, self-centered, and extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who take chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding, someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

Just kinda wondering....Is it long enough??!!

I found this in my sent files so here you go...

The answer is clear to me....

Cindy Sheehan asked President Bush, "Why did my son have to die in Iraq?"
Another mother asked President Kennedy, "Why did my son have to die in Viet Nam?"
Another mother asked President Truman, "Why did my son have to die in Korea?
Another mother asked President F.D. Roosevelt, "Why did my son have to die at Iwo Jima?"
Another mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my son have to die on the battlefield of France?"
Yet another mother asked President Lincoln, "Why did my son have to die at Gettysburg?"
And yet another mother asked President G. Washington, "Why did my son have to die near Valley Forge?"
Then long, long ago, a mother asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Son have to die on a cross outside of Jerusalem?"
The answers to all these are similar -- "That others may have life and dwell in peace, happiness and freedom."

This was emailed to me with no author and I thought the magnitude and the simplicity were awesome ..

IF YOU DON'T STAND BEHIND OUR TROOPS, PLEASE,
FEEL FREE TO STAND IN FRONT OF THEM !!!

545 PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.

If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ, it's because they want them in IRAQ.

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like 'the economy,' 'inflation,' or 'politics' that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses provided the voters have t he gumption to manage their own employees.

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

There is a rumor that I am not here...AM I LOST??!!

The answer to that is no just been dealing with a 3 year old who is sick and a 7 year old who is excited about school starting and at the same time has an attidude from HELL!!

He doesn't like that he has to pick up the toys on the floor even if he was not the one to make the mess. Skyler will flat tell you "No!" that he is not going to do it!! Any suggestions on nipping this in the BUTT fast??!! He thinks that he does not have to do and that we will do it for him...NOT ME!! I clean the house all the time and ask Anthony to help and he gets paid but Skyler on the other hand just makes the messes and leaves them there. I feel bad for Anthony because hubby makes him clean up everything all the time because he is older...This is not fair!! He needs to work with Skyler about helping Anthony out in this matter. I hate seeing Anthony so upset and sad all the time!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------

As for Sunday, I got a guy arrested and he went to jail!



He came into my restruant and was talking to my cashier and asked what the difference between 2 different burgers were and she was telling him and he started yelling at her and said..."So what's the F******* difference? You act like I work here!" My cashier stayed clam and told him again and he went off!

Dolores, the other cashier/shift leader was working on the Drive thru and she walked over and told the guy that if he was going to talk like that he could just leave. He called her a "F****** Bitch" and I came around from the grill and told him that the door was there and he better use it. During this whole time, my dad and stepmom were outside in their van waiting for me to come and say Godd morning!!

So anyways, the guy is yelling at me at this point -- Bad idea!! I told him that if he did not leave I was going to call the police -- he told me "You want to call 911?! Go ahead is that why ONLY mexicans work here?" At this point is was personal!! I looked him in the face with the police dispatch on the phone and I told him he had better leave or he was not going to like the end result.

De left and I was telling dispatch what he was wearing and which direction he went. A few minutes later, the police came back to my store and told me that they have the guy and if I wanted to just have him traspassed. I told them that if he could be arrested that would be better. They asked other people up at the gas station where they caught him if he did any damage and sure enough the dumbass hit someone's car with his skateboard...So off to jail without collecting $200!!

That was just too much fun for a Sunday morning!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------

So this morning I am at home thinking I have the day off as requested to take care of my boys, right???


I had talked to my boss yesterday and told him that Skyler wasn't feeling very well and I wanted to stay home with him because I do not like sending the boys to the babysitters if they are sick..Sure he says I gotcha and made arrangements for my shift to be covered I am thinking this is too cool!! Things would be ok...





i get a call from my boss at about 8 am this morning and he tells me that the girl that was suppose to cover my shift was not there and he wanted to know if I could bring the boys up and hang out until the Assistant manager go there...GREAT I thought so I get the boys ready and we go up there ande then I find out that another crew person did a no call no show so I am now a person short. i am pissed by this point. The Assistant shows up and starts asking 1000 questions and I looked at her and said that I wasn't even suppose to be here because of my son.

The girl who was suppose to work for me was at her apartment and low and behold her roommate comes in and I looked at her and told her to "Go get Mary now and drag her ass to work!!" She looked at me like I was the devil and not even 5 minutes later Mary comes in and starts working. I took off the headset for the drive-thru set it down got my boys ready to go home and Mary walks up tp me and starts to tell me she is sorry and I looked at her and told her that I really did not want to hear it!!

My boss may not like it but he and I are on the same page about alot of things that have to do with work so I am not at all worried about what he will say to me. During the 1 1/2 hrs that we were ther I was offered a job making around $16.00 at Children's Hospital. I told my customer that we will be talking soon!!!
