Priceless..

Trip to the grocery store @ 1930 hours = 10 minutes
Duncan Hines Strawberry cake mix = $1.49
Total prep and cook time = 60 minutes
Seeing your wife's smile because she got her cake = Priceless!

When Tracie became pregnant, I was prepared to drive to the store in the middle of the night to get what ever she wanted. 27 weeks in to the pregnancy, I can only remember two times I went to the store to get food just because Tracie was craving for it. Once for Pizza, and yesterday for strawberry cake. I bet some envy me, but all I can say is, It ain’t over till the fat lady sings!

Have a great Weekend Y'all!

Baby Due.. Count Down Clock

I searched the internet the other day for a count down timer and found this great java script (see below my profile on the right side of the page). Now everybody can see how soon the baby will be here. Though it is totally up to the Lord Almighty on the exact timing, I man can estimate, can’t he?.

Believe it or not, I am about to be a father. I couldn’t be more excited, but slightly nervous at the same time. Excited to be part of the Life’s greatest miracle. It is amazing how life start as a single cell and develops into a human. It is exciting to feel the increasing movement of the baby in her mother’s womb. Wondering how the baby feel, hear, think ..

I saw this statement on Fetal Psychology

“Just as adults do, the fetus experiences the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep of dreams.”

This is interesting, because we dream images, and can relate to what we dream. Even blind people have basic understanding of shapes and feel of everyday things. But the babies who are not born yet, have no idea what the world look like. So what exactly do they dream about?

I guess I could ask the baby when she grows up. But according to “Baby Geniuses” she won’t remember

What happened to my ...

*Got this in the mail today. Just couln't keep it to myself.

This one is for everyone who

a) has kids
b) had kids
c) was a kid
d) knows a kid
e) is going to have kids

I was packing for my business trip and my 3-year old daughter was having a wonderful time playing on the bed. At one point she said, "Daddy, look at this," and stuck out two of her fingers.

Trying to keep her entertained, I reached out and stuck her Tiny fingers in my mouth and said, "Daddy's gonna eat your fingers!" pretending to eat them before I rushed out of the room again.

When I returned, my daughter was standing on the bed staring At her fingers with a devastated look on her face.

I said, "What's wrong, honey?"

She replied, "What happened to my boogey?"

Let the boy eat his cake..

This news story is just bull crap gone overboard.

The 10 year old kid brought packed lunch, that broke government's healthy eating guidelines, to school and was banned from school. Here is my problem with the story. If the school ain’t providing lunch to these kids, why do they care what these kids eat. Shouldn’t it be the parents’ responsibility to make sure their kids eat healthy? Schools should not be in the business of enforcing “guideline”, rather educating the people. How many 10 year olds do you know pack their own lunch? Did the parents get investigated for trying to feeding the kid to death with the “Extra Snack” And the boy is banned from school for bringing in an extra snack. Good thing he didn’t bring an extra fork.

You take all personal responsibility away from the younger generation, hand it over to the government because the parents have their own agenda who think kids are a baggage, and then wonder why the morality of the next generation is in the sewer. Let the boy eat his cake I say!

Gimme a break!

"Insects do not deserve to be eaten alive especially for a gratuitous marketing gimmick," – PETA

I am not an animal hater. I do not have pets partly because I believe animals should have the freedom and dignity to do whatever they want to do in the wild and not to be a slave to humans. Having said that, PETA’s stand on this is a little ridiculous.

*Cockroaches are notoriously hardy animals. The lethal dose for the American cockroach is 67,500 rems (Measure of Radiation) and for the German cockroach it is between 90,000 and 105,000 rems (A lethal dose for a human is about 800 rems). Most Natural death of cockroaches occurs in the stomach of a bird, bat, or other small animal. In addition, cockroaches can survive on very little; it has been discovered that cockroaches will eat the glue off of the back of stamps!

A Cockroaches’ natural way to die is to be eaten by something else. They do not feel pain as they do not have pain receptors like humans do. They in all probability don’t feel humiliated of being eaten by a human. If they do, they can petition the UN and get sanctions against six flags… (HA)

I think a “Cockroach eating contest” is a great idea. Much healthier than eating hot dogs or JalapeƱo. And, we can have these contests in the problem areas where buildings are infested with them. Instead of catching them and serving them to the contestants, let the contestants catch them, and then eat them. Great exercise, less use of pesticides (not to mention less humiliating way to die for the cockroaches), and great for the economy by bringing these contests to your town and have the people spend money!

Revenge from the Grave?

Inmate got 'Katie's Revenge' tattoo by force


Here is an idea, you get convicted of a serious crime, and the crime gets tattooed on your forehead.

Insensitive? May be
Effective? Heck Yeah!

I have no sympathy for this man or any other criminals that ever harmed or ended a human life. I am glad to hear "...child molesters rank near the bottom of the prison hierarchy and are often brutalized by other inmates.

I wonder, if Child molesters are “Near” the bottom of the totem pole, who exactly is at the bottom?..
