Can you believe what they did to these Poodles?

There was an extreme grooming competition and you would not believe what they did to some of these poodles.  If you have ever had a poodle and taken them to the groomers, you can tell they know they look good by the way they prance around after getting groomed.  Well I wonder if these dogs pranced around or tried to hide from embarrassment.  I personally think they would be embarrassed!  I was embarrassed for some of them myself but some of them were really awesome.  See for yourself.

I love our neighborhood

One of the things I love about our neighborhood is the fact that there are a lot of really big trees.  They didn’t bulldoze down all of the trees to build the neighborhood and then plant a bunch of little trees.  I hate it when they do that.  With the old trees left in tact, there are also a lot of animals and birds throughout the neighborhood.  I absolutely love to watch the squirrels play in the trees and on the ground.  The only problem I have with them is they love my bird feeders.  I feed more squirrels than I do birds.  I also have a squirrel feeder but they don’t only eat their food, they like the bird food too.

Well I needed something to keep them away from my bird feeders and not hurt the squirrels.  I tried putting Vaseline on the pole and that worked for a short time.  Then I found a squirrel repellent that won’t hurt them but keep them away from what I want them away from.  This stuff works great.  In fact, it will keep a lot of unwanted animals away like skunks too.  My best friend had a skunk in her back yard and boy was he a stinker.  He sprayed my dog when we were visiting.  Since she got this repellent, no more stinker!!!

Some of you might have seen this before

With spring busting out everywhere, it brings to my mind this video that I had gotten.  Life is so precious and so beautiful as is nature but the things we take as the 7 wonders of the world are all man made in some form or another.  Watch this and you’ll see the 7 wonders a bit differently.  I sure did!!!!

I think I have a thing for mailboxes!

It’s funny how when I go riding around or to visit a friend for some reason I notice their mailboxes first of all and then their house or apartment building.  I think I have a thing for mailboxes.   You know sort of like when people notice a persons eyes first of all when they first meet.  Well I notice mail boxes.  A mailbox can make a statement about who lives there.

One of the first things is that if you live in an apartment building or community where they have a block of mailboxes, you want them to be secure to protect your mail from others.  Identity theft can easily start with your mail.  Not only does this site have mailboxes but they also have address plaques and mailbox posts.  So the next time you pull up to your house, stop and look at your mailbox.  What does it say about you?

Dancing with the stars

I keep getting up from my computer to watch ‘Dancing with the stars’.  I have to admit I absolutely love that show.  Shawn just danced and she is an amazing competitor.  She’s cute as a button and boy has that little girl got some muscles which comes from her gymnastics background.  She’s developing into quite a little dancer too.  You know who has really surprised me?  Ty, that’s who.  He’s a cowboy and has really worked hard to turn into a pretty darn good dancer.  Everyone is doing so well at this point that it’s really hard to predict a winner.  Lil Kim is great and Jilles is wonderful.  Chuck and Julianne are just so cute together.  Your guess is as good as mine as to who will come out the winner.

Divorce hurts children too

It’s sad when a family breaks up.  Sure it’s hard on the couple but what about the children?  They are sometimes treated like property or a bargaining chip which only hurts the children even more.  Luckily in this day in time parents are beginning to realize just what divorce does to their children and are trying to make it as painless as possible for their children.  Usually it takes lawyers and sometimes mediators to come to  reasonable visitation or time-sharing if you will, for both parents.  With lawyers or the court system, there’s a lot of money involved also which can lead to even more arguing.

Now there’s a software called Parenting Plan which acts as a mediator would but saves the parents a lot of money. It’s also recognized in all courts so it could save your children a lot of heartache, you a lot of money and the courts a lot of time trying to make two adults act like two adults instead of two children fighting over their children. Can you imagine how a child would feel in that situation? I have seen it happen too many times and with the divorce rate so high, I’m going to recommend this to anyone I know getting a divorce that has children.

Sorry blonds, I just couldn’t resist!!

I just heard the funniest blond joke I’ve heard in a long time and had to share it with you.  I don’t know why they pick on blonds like they do because I know some very intelligent blonds and some brunettes that are dingy so  I guess it could be any color of hair but the joke is still funny!!

Blond and this could be me ..because I think it could really work!!!

Yesterday I had a flat tire on the interstate. So I ease my car over to the shoulder of the road, carefully, get out of the car and open the trunk. I took out two cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic.

They look so lifelike you wouldn’t believe it! They are in trench coats exposing their nude bodies and private parts to the approaching drivers..

To my surprise, cars start slowing down looking at my lifelike men. And of course, traffic starts backing up. Everybody is tooting their horns and waving like crazy.

It wasn’t long before a state trooper pulls up behind me. He gets out of his car and starts walking toward me. I could tell he was not a happy camper!

“What’s going on here?”

“My car has a flat tire,” I said calmly.

“Well, what the hell are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?”

I couldn’t believe that he didn’t know. So I told him, “Hellooooo, those are my emergency flashers!”

Mom’s treating us girls to a spa treatment in NY

My mother is really going all out with herself and including us girls too.  She’s been doing a lot of redecorating and remodeling and now is thinking about doing a little upkeep on herself.  This time, she has decided to make it a family thing.  She just called each of us and told us that she’s treating us to a trip to New York for a laser hair removal holiday and shopping spree. She said that she was checking out some places online and came across this site.  This place uses state of the art technology and a highly skilled cosmetic staff and provide permanent hair removal solutions to thousands of satisfied customers in each of their modern clinics. You can even contact them today to schedule a Free complimentary test patch and receive a price quote.

Mom must have liked the price quote they gave her because she went ahead and scheduled appointments for all of us for next Friday.  We will all have the treatment and then get the whole weekend with Mom in New York City.  We used to go there at least once a year for different shopping excursions or spa treatments.  It’s Mom’s way of still spoiling us and she does a great job of it.

This is absolutely amazing

I love things like this and wanted to share it with you.  Absolutely Amazing!!! Just click on the picture and it will pull up the video of this amazing scientific find. I don’t know if you are into things like this or not but even if you aren’t, you might enjoy seeing this. Is proves to me that they were here but I so still believe in creationism and not Darwin’s theory.

Speaking of security

Since we are talking of security, I had suggested Mom get a dog for protection.  Well I got some pictures of some poodles that were in an ‘Extreme Grooming’ contest.  After seeing these, I’m not so sure they would provide much security other than making the intruder laugh and therefore incapacitating them until the police could get there.  See what I mean?

But now these two might provide some securtiy, don’t you think?  Maybe not!
