It's Time...

so today i decided something...and quite a monumental decision i have made, if i do say so myself...

i am now calling myself The Stupid People Vigilante...my mission, you ask? i will rid the planet of the stupid f**king people that continue to talk and ruin my day...because i know that if theyre ruining MY day, its only a matter of time before they ruin one of YOUR days...

how will i do this, you ask?

accountability people...this is our answer! when the stupid talk...i will simply tell them how stupid they are...people dont know how to react to this...um, and i know this...because ive done it! lolol...

you don't even have to use the specific 'you are so incredibly stupid' line...feel free to improvise...like "I DONT GIVE A F**K"(i used that one this week, sure shut that piece of stupid up real fast), or the solid "really!?", or "yeah WHATEVER, youre an idiot", or "How about not talking to someone like that?"...just snap back...it catches them by surprise everytime...everything youve thought of saying, but kept your mouth closed on...just start saying it!! i started this week...its very freeing...lol...

and i suggest you all do the same...calling people out on their crapola really works...people back down...because they are forced to be accountable for their actions...its amazing!

trust me...once the stupid are held accountable for their stupidity...theyll start singin' a new song...

oh and just be careful in case the stupid you run into by chance would be armed. in that case, dont tell them they are stupid. they might shoot you...and then that might make you the stupid one...


the time to act is now...its like someone spilt water on them and theyre multiplying...


this is my mission. its for the greater good.


now go my little children...out into the world, and confront the stupid.

clearly all in the name of love...


i hate f**king stupid people.


lolol

ENVIRONMENTAL TIP OF THE DAY...

here ya go...


contemporary "superwindows" employ high-tech solutions- double panes, low emissivity glazing, argon or krypton gas between panes- to block heat transfer...if your house is even a few years old or youre currently building, its worth considering window replacement...


do your part...these treatments are admittedly pricey, and the payback period can last as long as 15 to 20 years...but if superwindows were in full use nationwide, the U.S. could save four million barrels of oil and gas PER DAY.

Never be afraid to "try your hand" because you don't

want to make a mistake or not do something

"right." Success in life comes from being willing to move

into Unchartered Territory.



Always remember: Life begins at the end of your

Comfort Zone.



so true!!!!

now go be brave!

Good Stuff...

remember this guys...and know that it is true...


"The goodness of the Universe is not limited. When something
'looks as if' it is running out, do not fret. This, or something better, is on its way. Sufficiency is the natural order of things. Good never runs out -- although it may change form."

a painless way to reduce your driving - and fuel consumption, pollution, and greenhouse gas generation that it entails - is to think about all the errands you need to take care of before you get behind the wheel and plan accordingly...one ride covering a half-dozen stops can cut out 5 additional trips...

next week i will be putting up clips from the couples performances...

HeeHee...

A man and his wife were awoken at 3:00 am by a loud pounding on the door. The man gets up and goes to the door where a drunken stranger, standing in the pouring rain, is asking for a push.

"Not a chance," says the husband, "it is 3:00 in the morning!"

He slams the door and returns to bed.

"Who was that?" asked his wife.

"Just some drunk guy asking for a push," he answers.

"Did you help him?" she asks.

"No, I did not, it is 3:00 in the morning and it is pouring rain out there!"

"Well, you have a short memory," says his wife. "Can't you remember about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself!"

The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pounding rain.

He calls out into the dark, "Hello, are you still there?" "Yes," comes back the answer.

"Do you still need a push?" calls out the husband.

"Yes, please!" comes the reply from the dark.

"Where are you?" asks the husband.

"Over here on the swing," replied the drunk.

HEEHEE

a steak might be an american institution, but it comes with a side of environmental costs...central and south american forests are being cut or burned down to provide pasture...effluent from feedlots pollutes land and waters, and each cow produces 300 liters of methade - a greenhouse gas - every day...consider reducing the amount of meat you eat (or cut it out entirely, and be a vegetarian like me :) while cows arent problematic in and of themselves, modern mass-farming methods take a toll...

so ive been trying to find the perfect dress/outfit to wear to the [title of show] opening...and i think ive found it you guys...im so excited...



and i DEFINITELY know what im doing with my hair...








i think a helicopter hairdo is perfect for that night...it is a Broadway musical afterall...and there was that one show with the solo saxophones and helicopters you know...



and here is my dress! are you sitting down, cuz this will blow you away...








what do you think?!! Dont you love it??


now granted i am not preggers as is the lovely model wearing MY dress...but i figure, if i eat enough carbs and krispy cremes leading up to the big night, i could have a pretty big ass bloat bump to show off as well...


silver isnt my best color...but if i get it in a deep garnet...i will be unstoppable...

im thinkin' that with my helicopter hairdo and my fierce big ass bloat bump dress (in garnet)...whoah...im prolly gonna need to hire security to keep the men off...

a worthwhile alternative to simply condemning an old car to the junkyard is donation to charity...many will pick up the car, even towing it if it's not drivable...some will recondition it for sale at auction; others may use it for their own charitable business...either way, your gift entitles you to a tax deduction...

Love This...

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle...when 24 hours in a
day are not enough...remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee...i sure need to these days...


A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of
him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty
mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the
students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.


The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He
shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf
balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.


The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of
course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was
full. The students responded with an unanimous 'yes.'


The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured
the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the
sand. The students laughed.


'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize
that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important
things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite
passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life
would still be full.


The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and
your car.

The sand is everything else---the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into the
jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff
you wi ll never have room for the things that are important to you. 'Pay
attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with
your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time
to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There
will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal Take care of the
golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest
is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented
The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'

The coffee just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's
always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'


i love that...and its so true...priorities, priorities...

life is too short to not have them in the right order...

anyone whos ever worked in catering or event planning can tell you that after the partying is done, the cleaning up begins - and the rows of garbage bags start to accumulate...want to reduce the environmental impact of your wedding? send invitations on recycled paper (or via e-mail); arrange for digital photos; wear a treasured family gown in place of a new one; ask guests to donate to environmental causes in lieu of gifts (especially if you already have the household goods you need); and select a caterer who serves organic foods.

its best to water your lawn or garden before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m....doing so at midday sacrifices as much as 30 percent of your water to evaporation...avoid watering on windy days, and break your watering into short segments...lawns absorb water better in three ten-minute spells than in one half-hour stretch...


makes sense to me...
