So, according to http://howmanyofme.com/ I am the only one in the US with my name.


It also said that over 98.9% of the people named Laura are female... So does that mean there IS a male named Laura!?

RTD is at it again...

Yeah, that was an interesting find first thing in the morning. I somehow think we're in for more Southern jokes. Not that he was wrong in any he pulled, they were very true. Just an observation.


ETA:

This one just cements the whole thing.

So, my dad wants a new toy.

Any guess as to what that may be?

A Harley. As in the motorcycle.

You know, the thing he's never driven or been on in his life.

At least I know I'm immune to the insanity.

So, my mom found a really nice house in FL. Now, she is trying to get my brother or me, or both to move there. It's about 50 miles from Orlando, so you know that whoever moves there will be having friends coming out of the woodwork.


Dear God, please make the insanity stop. Amen.

On Sunday night I was out running some errands and getting something to eat for my mom and I. As I got to Yorktown Drive, the really short road next to the bed and breakfast, I saw what looked like a large dog walking in the middle of the road. I stopped to see what she was going to do, and as I did so, I got a closer look at what was really in the road.

It was a young doe. This was very surprising for me for two reasons. The first was what road she was on. It's only 100 feet long. The only reason it has a name is that the bed and breakfast has their mailbox on it. It is between two fairly busy roads. She was also six feet from some railroad tracks that are always busy at that time of night. So yeah, not the type of place you would expect a deer.

The second reason is that I haven't seen a deer since I moved here. They have some deer crossing signs about a mile from my house, but still, I haven't seen a deer.


I'm glad no one was behind me, because I stopped in the middle road frozen for a god minute. The deer wasn't moving either, so I was stuck anyway.


I still can't believe it.

I am really starting to think this station goes looking for half-truths to twist into stories that get people up arms, pointing fingers in the wrong direction.

This is the same station that blamed Sgt. Robertson for all the "problems" at NAMC a month ago. Never mind the fact that he just got there, and was making huge strides improving things after the damage the nut-case who was there before created. And a staff who did almost nothing, and loved labeling everything over 40 pounds a Pitt-Bull, including Black Labs.


Rather than spinning this in a OMG!! EBIL PIT LOOKEN DAWG!!! HAZ 2 B DANGROUS!!!! way, look to where the problem really lies, in the owner, or the people watching the dog.

American Bulldogs by nature, don't have a violent bone in their bodies. They are a very loving, loyal dog. The only way they will attack is if they think one of their "pack" is in danger, and even then, it would have to be pretty bad. For something like this to happen, either the owner has been abusing the dog long term, or the child was doing something other that "petting the dog"

They don't even know anything about the situation!!! All they know is that the dog bit two people, and is in quarantine. When you need to interview a neighbor who only knows that they were watching the dog to fill up air-space, you know something is wrong.

And am I the only one who rolls their eyes at the "man's best friend" line? If the dog in question had been a Jack Russel, Cocker Spaniel, or some other "cutesy" breed, it wouldn't have even been a blip on their radar.

And on a personal note, the dog is a dead-ringer of Fiona, so she got an extra biscuit tonight.

If there is any confusion about the neighbor or what the dog looks like, I'm also referring to the the video.

We're finally getting the dead tree cut down in the yard cut down today.

Mira can't stand the sound of the saws, so she is barking at them.

Kiwi started barking because Mira started, so of course Zoie had to start as well.

Because Zoie is barking, Fiona has to put her two cents in.



I need to invest in earplugs.

What Is Your Battle Cry?

Hark! Who is that, prowling through the steppes! It is Christineerik, hands clutching buzzsaw hand extensions! She howls ominously: "I'm seriously going to torment you beyond mortal comprehension!!!"

There are a few people I wish I could do something similar to...

I so need go to bed now.

I just spent the last three hours trying to load a new mood set onto my LJ.

The first ten minutes were because I was bored.

The remaining 2:50 was because I refused to let Livejournal/Photobucket outsmart me.

I don't think I've ever been so proud of a bunch of little pictures in my life.

But there again, that could be the lack of sleep talking...
