I came down with something Sunday (fever, chills, aches, fatigue, etc.) I slept 14 hours Sunday night and 10 last night.
I stopped by the CVS Minute clinic (or “mini” clinic as my mom calls it). The verdict: viral, rest and plenty of fluids. I asked her to rule out mono, meningitis and dengue fever. What? I’m cautious.
If anyone needs me, I’ll be sleeping for the next 11 hours.
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer talks to an Oklahoma tornado survivor:
Wolf Blitzer: We’re happy you’re here. You guys did a great job. I guess you got to thank the Lord. Right?
Survivor: Yeah.
Blitzer: Did you thank the Lord for that split-second decision?
Survivor: I — I’m actually an atheist.
Blitzer: You are. All right. But you made the right call.
Survivor: Yeah. We are here. And you know, I don’t blame anybody for thanking the Lord.
Blitzer: Of course not.

“Did you thank the Lord?” ???
I just can’t even believe he asked that question.

The thunder started rumbling and the cat just slunk quietly under the bed. I don’t expect to see her for awhile.
NYC fourth grader sneaks camera into school, makes documentary about gross cafeteria food
Here’s a clip from an upcoming documentary by a fourth grader who snuck a camera into school to document his horrible school lunches and the vast distance between the food that the school claims to serve and food he and his friends end up eating.
Zachary is a fourth grader at a large New York City public elementary school. Each day he reads the Department of Education lunch menu online to see what is being served. The menu describes delicious and nutritious cuisine that reads as if it came from the finest restaurants. However, when Zachary gets to school, he finds a very different reality. Armed with a concealed video camera and a healthy dose of rebellious courage, Zachary embarks on a six month covert mission to collect video footage of his lunch and expose the truth about the City’s school food service program.
This kid is my hero.
Bullshit, New Jersey 3rd in Survey of Cursing (larger)
Yo KT, looks like your #pleaseandthankyoumovement is desperately needed in IN. (Notice how polite CT is…)
look at georgia! we’re real cute with our manners n shit!
LOL this reminds me. This week I tried to explain to a CA native friend of mine that a GA native friend of mine is so glad to be leaving so cal. She graduated school and was out like a shot in 2 days. She didn’t mind socal weather but she HATED day to day life with socal people.
A lot of southern folks are so damned polite that they forget it is their culture to be polite and when they leave, they think everyone else is rude as fuck. As a GA native, I see where they are coming from. I am just glad I remember that it isn’t that people are being rude (well, sometimes they are…) but usually it is just a cultural difference.
Southerns represent them manners.
Yay, Maryland!! We’re top 3 in cursing AND courtesy.
Thanks, fuckers!!
Yeah, I’m not buying it. Massachusetts is in the top 5 for LEAST likely to curse? No fucking way.
Sam Monday.
Sam: Mommy, will you be my best friend forever?
Mommy: Of course. Best pals for life.
Sam: Phew. That’s a total relief. I need a forever best friend.
Mommy: You got it, little buddy.
Sam: Hey best friend, you think I can get some cookies? Or maybe a taco?
Mommy: Is that what our friendship is based on? Snacks?
Sam: Well that and kisses. But seriously, a snack would be awesome.
Mommy: You’re lucky you’re cute.
Wordpress saw the number of blog imports from Tumblr rise from about 400 an hour to more than 72,000.Yeah, that’s just absurd. All snark aside, i see no true reason to freak/jump. yet.
Agreed. Let’s all calm down and see what happens here. This is just the beginning.
Old-Timey Picture Sunday.
Tracy: You’re the coolest big sister ever. Like, times infinity.
Tami: I know, right? I really am. But wait, where are we?
Tracy: I don’t know. Looks like a tent, right?
Tami: They just told us to stand here. I think they might be off negotiating with the carnival folk to take you with them.
Tracy: Really? I’d make an awesome carnie.
Tami: Sigh … only you would be more excited than terrified by my fake threat.
Tracy: I’m not really going? Either way it’d be awesome. The life of a crazy carnie or following you around FOREVER. My life is awesome.
Tami: Good thing I have infinite patience, Sigh …

Cat Puts Left Paw In, Refuses to Shake It All About
In what’s already being called “PokeyGate” by the local press, a cat named Smithers stunned onlookers yesterday when he refused to follow instructions during a heated round of hokey pokey.
According to several reports, Smithers put his left paw in when instructed, but then flouted repeated requests to “shake it all about.”
“The rules exist for a reason,” said hokey pokey expert Steve Randolph. “He made a mockery of game. There should be swift and severe penalties from the IHPB.”
The IHPB — or International Hokey Pokey Board — which governs professional play worldwide, has not yet reached a decision about any punishment for Smithers.
