Should You Make a New Years Resolution?

No

Hmm, maybe that was a little rough. 

Oh surrrrrr, go ahead. Make as many New Year’s Resolutions as you can. Join the rush to be rah rah for 30 days promising yourself you wont do this, or you will do that. But don’t come to us in February acting as if you never promised it.    LOL

to do list for Jan

Let’s face it. Only 1 in a 10,000 people are successful with these things,

unattainable new years

Buttttttttt…..

If you want to take some steps to make your life better in 2014, I’m in! Besides,  why be normal? Why be a statistic? Just be you!  Here is what we should do…

be more awesome

We are flawed, but each day we take one step to laugh a little more, move a little more, eat a little better, laugh even more and be kind to others. If we all do a little each day, think about how far you will be on Dec 31, 2014?

I know in 2014 I plan to swing by and laugh with you a little more than I did in 2013. Ok, stop laughing, I did stop by at least 10 times last year so I have a low bar to hurdle.  LOL.

And to start with a few laughs, how about these resolutions I found at Jokes4us.com:  (with a little tweaking for my mind or bad habits or just to make it more 2014..Or to even be a smart ass..Me?? i know…LOL)

New Years Resolutions You Have No Chance At Keeping

When I hear a funny joke I will not reply, “LOL, LMAO, or ROTFLMAO!”  (I’ll screw this one up by 12:01 tonight)

Start using Facebook for something other than Candy Crush or Papa Pear  (How many times do I have to tell you? I don’t play Facebook games!!!……….unless they are on my cell phone)  LOL

Try to figure out why you “really” need 5 Facebook accounts. (Not me but I do know someone…LOL)

Resolve to work with neglected children… your own.  (Hopefully they remember who you are)

Lose 20 pounds by going to the gym!  (Now, that is funny, Let’s get physical, physical, sing it Olivia!)

You will stop using, “So, what’s your URL?” as a pickup line.  (geeks love this one)

You will spend less than five-hour a day on the Internet.  (I see some of you balled up in the corner already sucking your thumb and rocking on this one)

You will spend less than $1000 for coffee at Starbucks this year.  (Once again, I know someone…)

Stop repeating myself again, and again, and again. (And no, you can’t keep blaming Alzheimer’s) 

You will stop tagging pictures of me in pictures even when I’m not in them   (Seriously, that’s not me, are you blind?)

You will think of a password other than “password” (and yes, stop using 12345 as well!)

im perfect

New Years Resolutions You Can Actually Keep

Gain weight. Put on at least 30 pounds. Gain enough weight to get on The Biggest Loser.

Start buying lottery tickets at a luckier store

Stop exercising.  (watch the folks on Biggest Loser do it while you eat ice cream)

Waste  time playing Candy Crush and Papa Pear (Oh yes I will!)

Watch more TV. You’ve been missing some good stuff.  Blacklist???  lol

A Few Thoughts as We Head into Mother’s Day

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. All across the land people will be giving their mom’s Happy Mother’s Day cards or possibly be receiving them. They might also include flowers, stuffed animals or a nice brunch or dinner.  Thanking their mom’s for being the Best Mom a kid could ever have.

Some folks will not be celebrating this tradition as they have either lost their mother or maybe their memories are not those warranting gifts of appreciation for the hell their moms put them through.

I’m not sure any mom is perfect. Sure you have the extremes. The TV perfect moms who do everything right; who raise perfect children, creating perfect memories. Then the other extreme of abusive and downright mean moms who inflict pain on their “evil” spawn.

I like to think there are more of the first extreme than the second, but sadly that probably isn’t the case.

The good news is, most moms probably fall in the middle. They aren’t perfect but they try their best given the current situation at any given time. They love their children no matter how much they drive them nuts and they might want to murder them. They sing to their kids even if they can’t carry a tune and they tell them “no” even when they may want to say yes.

Through the course of any day, most moms will be loved and hated by their children depending on the hour.

When those children grow up, their mom will be responsible for every bad thing that ever happened to them in their life. Yet, those same “adults” wouldn’t change their mom for any other mom.

We are a funny species.

Yet, as Mother’s Day roars in this year, everyone is forced to say, “Dang, I love and appreciate my mom.”  We make that trek to Walgreen’s for her card, standing there trying to find the perfect one since we don’t say it to her the other 364 days of the year.

We created a day for everyone to slow down a moment and thank the woman who kisses their ouchies, the woman who was mean when they couldn’t go out with their friends, the one who took away their toys when they were bad, and the woman who they ran to when they were scared and needed protection.

It really begs the question….

Why do we wait until Mother’s Day to appreciate the person who tried their hardest to be the best mother they could?

I love ya Ma….

And I know that no matter what good or bad happened in my childhood, I was and will always be grateful for how hard you tried. 

Triskaidekaphobia Day – You Know You Are Excited!

Wow, seems like only 13 weeks ago it was Friday the 13th. Wouldn’t it be neat if we had another one in 13 weeks? Hmm, I bet we do!

Booo Haaa Haaa…. Mooo Haaa Haaaa…. OK, get over it. It’s just another fun day to create chaos in the world.

Last Friday the 13th I wrote a post —> Friday the 13th Oh the Abuse You Take

And last I checked, we all survived. Well, except that one lady……..Never mind, the FBI & CIA did a cover up on it to prevent world catastrophic events from occuring.

I was going to write a whole other post today, but will push it off till tomorrow, I just can’t pass up the opportunity to exploit this silly fear day. After all, what kind of humorist would I be if I let the moment slip by? Besides, tomorrow you will not find it as fascinating since you would have survived.

So for this Triskaidekaphobia Day, I thought I’d squeeze out a little bit more of my trivia kick pony I’ve been riding. (how’s that for mixing metaphors?)

I’d promise no more this week, but honestly….who the hell knows. I promise to T R Y……that’s all you get out of me.

So, with that said, how about I cull down all the trivia I found on it. In my defense it’s Friday’s fault, I found all this when looking for trivia for that silly day – I can’t help it if Friday’s greatest claim to fame (next to being the last day of work) is scaring the bee-jee-bees out of people)

  Since I see you are on the edge of your chair (or falling asleep) I’ll jump right in….

1.     Technically if you are afraid of Friday the 13th, you may have paraskavedekatriaphobia (also known as friggatriskaidekaphobia). Those are the scientific terms for fear of Friday the 13th. Triskaidekaphobia is fear of the number 13.  Napoleon and President Herbert Hoover were said to be sufferers. President Franklin D. Roosevelt is said to have avoided travel on the 13th day of any month, and would never host 13 guests at a meal

2.     More than 60 million people worldwide claim to be affected by a fear of Friday 13th. Some of them won’t go to work, drive cars or get out of bed on this day. Friday the 13ths have more call outs from work than any other Friday. (too bad all the bad drivers aren’t any of these people – they are still on the road)

3.     The independent horror flick Friday the 13th was released in May 1980 and despite only having a budget of $550,000 it grossed $39.7 million at the box office in the United States. The remake of the original Friday the 13th film was released on Friday, February 13, 2009. (even worse? Like Jason, the films wont die! Seems like there is a new one every year)

4.     Tupac Shakur died on Friday, September 13, 1996. (Yea, guess it wasn’t so lucky for him)

5.     Fittingly, director of psychological thrillers Alfred Hitchcock was born on the 13th — Friday, Aug. 13, 1999, would have been his 100th birthday.  (not making fun of him, he was awesome)

6.     Lizzie Borden uttered a total of 13 words at her trial (“Yea, I did it, so what is the problem? Now, where’s my axe?” Just kidding, those weren’t them, I made that part up) 

7.     Apollo 13, 1970, the 13th mission launched from pad #39 (13 x 3), mission was aborted, after an explosion occurred in the fuel cell of their service module.  The rocket had left launching pad at 13:13 CST and the date was April 13th. (hmm, I’m pretty sure most of those dates / times were known in advance.. where they tempting fate?)

8.     Certain ocean liners will be held in dock until after midnight to appease passenger’s fears of setting sail on Friday the 13th (Was it a surprise to them they picked a cruise leaving on this day?)

9.    If 13 was so bad, what about this.. There were 13 original colonies & the US Seal has 13 stars, bars, feather in the eagle’s tail. 13 bars in one claw & 13 olive branches in the other

10.   Then again, a witches coven consists of 13 members and Tarot Card #13 is the Death Card depicting the Grim Reaper

11.   Hmm, the more I think about it, There are 13 steps leading to the gallows & a Guillotine blade falls 13 feet

12.   There are 13 knots in a hangman’s noose (Ok, maybe the last 3 facts are kinda creepy – yet fascinating to know)

13.   This year is a special one for Friday the 13ths: There are three of them: Jan. 13, April 13 and July 13. The freaky thing? The dates fall exactly 13 weeks apart. That hasn’t happened since 1984. And will happen again in 2015. (Think of it this way..2 down, 1 to go)

 

Ok, ok, I hear the moaning and groaning now…. No more trivia junk… I think I can make it for a week or two. 😉

Now go out and brave the big bad world and WHAT EVER YOU DO!!!! Do not walk under that ladder or cross that black cat…

LOL just kidding… I’m sure the black cat has a white hair somewhere…. Or does it……

A Birthday Memory ~~ A 30 Year Gift

Last week when I busy doing my little series about the days of the week ~ my birthday came and went.

(Please hold down the applause that I survived another year and how excited you are that I get to make you laugh for another one)    😀

Birthdays have always been weird in my family. My sisters (one more than the other) are big into birthdays. Celebrating the day of your life. I on the other hand, appreciate the birthday, but since I’ve worked almost every single birthday, most of the time it is just another day. This year included. (for the record, my brother falls somewhere in between)

When I was young, we didn’t have much money. My mom was very young when she had me (she had just turned16) and had four of us by the time she was 21. So as you can imagine, money was tight. But my mom always did what she could to make us feel special on our birthdays.

As I got closer to my 16th birthday, I secretly wished for what every 16 year old lays in bed praying about. Yep, getting a car for my birthday. Now, logically I knew this was impossible. We simply had no money. But that reality doesn’t sink into a 16 year old’s head. The dream stays alive. The hope burns internal.

When my 16th birthday arrived I laid in bed praying that some miracle happened overnight. That some how my mom found a way.

SIDE NOTE: What’s interesting is, we all get this feeling, long after our youth. How many times has your mind & heart dreamt of the possibility even though the little voice inside was trying to tell you not to expect it? (the 1/2 billion dollar lottery couple weeks ago being a great example)

Back to my story….

That morning after saying those last little prayers, I began my new year of life.

Like taking off a band-aid, I might as well just rip it off….

There was no car sitting in our drive way with a big red bow on it.   🙁

Nope. Not even a little hot wheels one for a good laugh.

Now, before I tell you what I did get, let me explain something many of you don’t know. I’m a tomboy. Always have been. If I wasn’t doing my homework I was outside playing over the line (baseball for 3-5), tennis or something with my brother and our friends. My brother always got the better toys in my mind. It drove my mom nuts that I refused to put on a dress. No freaking way was that going to happen. The word “Girly” and Tammy just weren’t used in the same sentence in my house.

With  that said, what did I get? I got 3 things…a $50 check, a $50 bill & a green figuring with a girl in a dress (gasp) holding a cake with a 16 on top.

Now, when a tomboy wants a car for their 16th birthday, the last thing they are expecting is a girl in a green dress.

You can only imagine the amount of pouting I did that day. I wasn’t mad at my mom. I knew there was no way I was getting a car. But for a few weeks that dream was alive in my mind and it felt real.

As the days passed, my mom needed to borrow the $50 bill for food or bills or something, and I’m pretty sure I never cashed the check (knowing my mom could use the money more than I could). The little girl in green went on a shelf as a reminder that she wasn’t the car I really had wanted.

But what might shock and surprise you is… it has been 30 years since I received the Girl in Green. She has moved 16 times (ironic I know) & across four states with me. And she still sits on a shelf in my home office. Not a crack, a chip or anything. She no longer reminds me of the car I didn’t receive. Today she reminds me of how much my mother loves me and how much she loved me that day I turned 16. And I wouldn’t trade her for anything. (the figurine and my mom – LOL)

The Girl in Green

Besides, had I gotten the car, I’m not sure it would have fit on my shelf 30 years later.

We might not always get the presents we want, but we usually get the presents we are suppose to.

Just like my mom got me for her 16th birthday.  😀

~~till we laugh again~~~

Sunday ~~ aka “Crap, I gotta go back to work tomorrow!”

Well, we made it to Sunday in our look at each day of the week. Sunday has a love / hate feel to it for most. (For now, we will pretend today isn’t Easter)

For some of you, it is a day of worship, for some of you it is a day of all the chores you refused to do yesterday, and for some of you, you will gripe all day that you have to go back to work tomorrow. A lucky few of you, will go to church, come home, do your chores, and gripe all day about going back to work tomorrow.  LOL

Then again, some of you will sleep all day. Sure you might get out of bed to pee and maybe raid the pantry, but for the most part, it’s sports all day in your pajamas. NASCAR, Golf, Basketball, Baseball, Rugby, Soccer you name it. But for the most part, Sunday’s tend to be the laziest day of the week.

Let’s see what facts we can drum up from our Google search…

  • Extreme Couponers live for Sundays.. The Sunday newspaper is huge today as it is filled with everything under the sun. Including comics and those coveted coupons (Admit it, at least one of you jumped up and down when you get yours – probably even stole a neighbor or twos)
  • Most radio stations play their top 10, top 25, etc countdowns (Is Casey Kassem even alive anymore? Or did Ryan Seacrest just shove him in a closet?)
  • Businesses tend to close earlier (which creates issues that everyone is off and no one is open – kind of ironic if you ask me)
  • Most sports games are almost always during the day on Sundays (hence why no one wants to get off the couch)
  • No century starts on a Sunday  & the Jewish New Year never falls on a Sunday (Had to toss in some facts you could use to wow your friends with)

Well, it’s been an interesting trip down the facts of the week. Here is what I personally learned…

  • Never do it again. Sure it was nice having a theme, but I locked myself in and had some other cool stuff I had to push off. Besides, what idiot picks Easter week to do this? Oh yea, me.  LOL
  • The day’s of the week are pretty important as they have been around for YEARS yet have very little facts about them. Or no one really cared enough to capture their highlights.  Some days were like pulling teeth (yes Wednesday & Thursday, I’m talking to you!)

So I will bring this to a close. If you missed any of the other days and are curious as to what I found and what smart ass comments I added here you go…

Thanks for hanging in there, and now I will return you all to our normal daily insights into finding laughter in our lives…

Hot Diggity Dog its Saturday!

Excitement in the air, people are going crazy. It’s Saturday!!  Even better it’s a holiday Saturday.  But for our purposes, we are just going to take a look at what we can find on everyone’s favorite day of the week. Yep, 99.99%  of the people LOVE  Saturday. Ok, I made that one up too. But it sure is a heck of a lot of people.

Saturday is a time to catch up on the things you wish you could have done through the week…

  • Nap
  • Be lazy
  • Watch TV
  • Read other people’s blogs because you are so far behind and feel guilty that they read yours already
  • Nap some more cuz all the reading made you tired

You know, all the stuff you really don’t have time for even on a Saturday. Why? Because this is the crap you are suppose to be doing today…

  • Clean the gutters
  • Change the air filters
  • Wash the dog
  • Fix the big hole in the roof before it rains
  • Read other people’s blogs because you are so far behind and feel guilty that they read yours already
  • The rest of your Honey Do List…

But we all know that neither list will happen. (Unless you have a massive hangover then some of you might being napping and moaning all day).

But whatever you have on tap for the day, here are some trivia facts about Saturday for you to wow your friends with. Or at least have them look at you funny.

What Google Surfing taught us today…

  • Saturday was named after the planet Saturn. (We all could have guess that one)
  • In folklore – Saturday was the preferred day to hunt vampires. First because they were restricted to their coffins and also it was believed in the Balkans that anyone born on a Saturday could see a vampire when it was otherwise invisible and that such people were particularly apt to become vampire hunters. (wooden stake – check, garlic – check……)
  • Hand Guns – The amount of criminal activities that take place on Saturday nights has led to the expression ‘Saturday Night Special’, a slang term used in the United States and Canada for any inexpensive handgun. (dang and I thought the Saturday Night Special is what Denny’s was running…)
  • In Nepal Saturday is last day of the week and is the only official weekly holiday. (yep, only a weekday, no weekend to blow one day and make up for it the next like most of us do)
  • Saturday is the official day of rest in Israel, on which all government offices and most businesses, including some public transportation, are closed.
  • Saturday is the usual day for elections in Australia and the only day in New Zealand on which elections can be held, and also the preferred election day in the state of Louisiana. (Who would have thought Louisiana and Australia would have ANYTHING in common?)
  • Saturday morning is a notable television time block aimed at children while airing generally animated cartoons (Mainly to occupy kids so mommy and daddy could sleep in longer from having drunk to much tequila the night before with the neighbors)
  • The most famous, long running comedy is on Saturday night – Saturday Night Live, a skit show that has aired on NBC nearly every week since 1975. (For the math challenged that’s 37 years – holy moly!)
  • Finally, In Sweden, Saturday is usually the only day of the week when children are allowed to eat sweets (I bet some dentist is behind this silly law)

Well, no matter how you plan to spend your Saturday today….I’m pretty sure someone else has other stuff they want you to do….

Check in tomorrow for the conclusion of our Days of the Week…..

And if I don’t see ya, it better be because you are celebrating Easter and have been taken hostage by the bunny or lost still trying to find hidden Easter eggs or something. Then I’ll forgive you… but you best come back Monday   😀

~~~till we laugh again~~~

Finally it’s Friday! Is it Your TGIF?

Ok, if you have followed our journey so  far, we have taken a look at Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday. Now it’s time to see what we can on Friday.

Since I started what seemed like a good idea at the time, I realize how long the week actually is. Although it has been interesting discovering some new stuff.

Let’s take a look at Friday. That is of course if you aren’t partying already. But let’s face it, most of you are wayyyyy beyond your party years and now your idea of a hot Friday night is curling up on your couch with the TiVo remote and catching up to the shows you missed all week.

So what interesting (or semi-interesting) things did I track down for our ever growing useless knowledge in case we become someone’s phone a friend…

  • Friday is the only day of the week named for a woman. Her name was Frigga and she was the consort of Odin. (Just like the woman to push the men out of the way and take the credit for the day everyone tends to get excited for)
  • Any month beginning on a Sunday will contain a Friday the 13th (Button down the hatches, we have one coming next week)
    • Friday is considered unlucky, especially Friday the 13th and unlucky to begin a voyage (then why is Friday such a mess at the airports? Guess we like our 3 days vacations more)
    • Ton’s of facts about Friday the 13th, I might have to do a special edition next week
  • Here in America we tend to forget that Friday might be the end of our weekend, but in other parts of the country, Friday signifies other things.
    • For example, did you know…
      • Friday in Saudi Arabia is the last day of the weekend and Saturday is the first workday
      • Friday in Israel is the first day of the weekend and Sunday is the first day of work
      • Muslims use Friday as their day of rest and worship
  • In the Philippines, there is a superstitious belief that it’s bad to trim finger and toe nails on Fridays (Dang, and that is the day I set aside to create those flying projectiles – guess that move has to be postponed)

And today is a special Friday for some. Yep, it’s Good Friday ~ the day Christians commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. While it isn’t a Federal Holiday, it is a state holiday in 14 states. And many schools and many non retail businesses close. So it’s one of those wink wink not official holiday’s but we know people are going to call out sick anyways so why not just close the place down days.

Well, that brings us to the conclusion of Friday.
  • For those of you young whipper snappers that will be partying tonight ~ be safe.
  • For those of you working this weekend ~ try and not slap anyone bragging about having the weekend off and all the fun stuff they plan to have
  • For those of you celebrating the religious weekend ~ The pastor will be excited to see some of you since you only get dragged to church on Easter and Christmas
  • For many of you ~ no eating the chocolate bunny ears until Sunday, otherwise the bunny will not hear you coming

“See” ya’ll tomorrow with some fun facts (hopefully) about Saturday…  (don’t worry, only two more days to go) but I have to finish this commitment to this L~O~N~G running comedy bit…..

😉
~~~till we laugh again~~~

Thursday ~~ Yawnnnnnn

Welcome to Thursday! Otherwise known as Is it Friday yet?

Or as Tristan MacManus on Dancing with the Stars would call it… Turdsday…  (funny only if you hear his pronunciation of his “THs”)

Yea, Thursday’s are a day to go to the dentist, the DMV, post office, all those painful things that remind us it’s not Friday yet.

Let’s see what we can drum up for Thursday….Be right back, need to go visit Google.…

  • The name Thursday is tied to Thor the Norse God of Thunder (now you know who to blame for why Friday takes to long to get here)
  • We already know that Thanksgiving is always the fourth Thursday of the Month of November (Yawnnn)
  • Quakers traditionally refer to Thursday as ‘Fifth Day’ to discount the pagan origin of the English name ‘Thursday (I’m going take a wild guess they didn’t see the movie either)
  • Thursday’s is the traditional day of elections in the UK (thought I’d give ya a shout out since I said ours were on Tuesday)  😉
  • ’It was widely believed in High schools in the US in the 60’s, that if someone wore green on Thursdays it meant that they were gay (Hell, every gay person knows it’s Saturday!)
  • Most bars have a special today called Thirsty Thursdays due to the catchy title.  (Personally, I think it is to kick off your drinking weekend early)

Ok, that’s all for Thursday. Make sure to check out the last 3 days if you are a new reader or missed them. We will tackle Friday tomorrow…

~~~till we laugh again~~~

Time To Hump Your Day ~~ It’s Wednesday!

Happy Hump Day Everyone!  Yep, it’s the second most popular weekday (After Friday of course).

It’s the day we all know the tide is coming and we are about to wash ashore to our weekend soon.

It is kind of misleading if you ask me. Technically you have only completed 2 of the 5 days. And until you are half way done with your day, you haven’t really crossed the hump. So no getting excited until noon people! Best advice, wake up at 12:01pm and you can start celebrating.

Besides, last time I noticed, many of you work Saturday and Sunday (someone has to serve the public on their days off). And it might not be your hump day. It might be your Friday. But I digress….

Now that I think about it, I think dogs think it is hump day everyday…

Just so you know, I”m trying to keep this PG-13 but let me tell ya, there are a lot “hump” pictures.

You really never realize how much humping is going on until you google Hump Day.  LOL

With that note, let’s see what interesting facts can we find about Wednesday?

Well let me tell ya, if I thought it was hard to find Tuesday facts, Wednesday is like that camel, dry as the desert. I’m scared to see what little Thursday has to offer.

  • There are two religious references to Wednesday – Ash Wednesday & Holy Wednesday
    • Fact within a Fact – Where do churches typically get the ashes that are used to mark worshippers’ foreheads on Ash Wednesday?
      • They burn the palms from the previous year’s Palm Sunday
  • 99% of the people spell out Wednesday in their head like this… WED ~~ NES~~ DAY  (ok, I just made up that statistic because that is how I do it and I don’t want to be alone)
  • We only use one nostril at a time, and switch every four hours (noticible when we have a cold). (ok, has nothing to do with Wed-nes-day but I found it during my search and thought you all should know)
  • Yea, I’m at a loss. This is a sucky day to find facts on. But I do notice it’s Trivia night in a hell of a lot of places every Wednesday, So if you are feeling real smart, head to your local bar.
  • Since the actual day facts are scarce, I’m going to be resourceful and do facts about Wednesdayfrom Addams family (besides me being teased about the song due to my last name)
    • Her middle name is Friday (Guess they really loved the weekdays)
    • Her doll was Marie Antoinette (her brother Pugsley beheaded it (imagine what he would have done if she had a Tickle Me Elmo)
    • On TV she was a happy camper, in the movies she became more like a future goth brat (carrying around a decapitated doll will do that to you)

Well, I best be getting something accomplished today. So I’ll be back tomorrow with more pointless daily ramblings.   😀

~~~till we laugh again~~~

It’s Tuesday ~~ Did You Notice?

So, Happy Monday ~ Please Don’t Slap Me was such a hit, why not make it a 7 day series?

We all know some days get more love or hate (in Monday’s case) than other days, so let’s take a few days to examine the life of a week.

No one really bashes Tuesday have you noticed? It’s kind of like a nothing day really. No real excitement. People have settle down about being ticked off about going back to work and just accepted the fact that the week is rolling along. Not really loving the day, but not really hating the day. It just is a day.

But did you know…

  • Tuesday is the most productive day of the week (looks like people finally get going on those to do lists from yesterday)
  • Tuesday also has the lowest rate of absenteeism at work – 11% (Once again, proof people have accepted their fate)
  • Tuesday is typically Election Day in the US (Guess they think we would be too pissed off if it was on a Monday. So it was safer to move it to Tuesday so we didn’t vote out of emotion ~~ hmm, how’s that working for you?)
  • The second Tuesday of each month, Microsoft releases it’s patches for their products (then the second Wednesday of each month we all bitch that our computers are running slower)
  • We have Fat Tuesday – (No, not because Biggest Loser airs this night), but it is the kick off of Mardi Gras

Well, further proof that Tuesdays are kind of boring, no more real good facts to be found. So these will have to do.

Tomorrow should be more fun since any day that is known as “hump” day is sure to bring out the dogs and males trolling for some action.

Have a productive Tuesday, because statistically we are legally bound to do so.

~~~till we laugh again~~~
