Questions From You
Did you name your kids after cities?
Yes. Well, it didn't really start that way. I just liked the name Austin. Then I liked the name Savannah for my second child. After that we realized we had a theme going. We had to keep up with it. I mean, you can't have an Austin, Savannah, Jackson and then Bob. It just doesn't go. By the time we got to the sixth baby, we'd run out of cities and had to go to the boroughs.
What do your kids think of all this?
I asked them this very question yesterday. "Hey guys, what do you think of all this?"
Here are their responses...
Think of what?
Look at me! I'm a frog!
Mom, are you going to be on the computer again tonight?
I love you, Mommy!
What does your husband think of all this?
He's very proud. I think he's a bit overwhelmed with everything as well. And he's definitely hoping that this ends in a way for me to make a little money so he can start working a normal 40 hour week and spend more time with us.
"I'd need a back hoe and dump truck to come in before I'd let anyone take pictures of my house."
Who says I didn't do just that?! LOL Actually I called my husband at work yesterday and politely asked him if could take a vacation day and help me out around the house before the reporter came. OK, so I really called him up and frantically informed him, "You HAVE to stay home tomorrow and do something with the kids so they don't trash the place before the reporter comes! I don't care if he sees the house a little messy and cluttered because that's how it normally looks, but I don't want him to require a Tetanus shot before he leaves. My husband vacuumed and cleaned the bathrooms hooray! Then he tracked mud all over the floor. Gotta love him. Actually, when I bought our carpeting, I walked into the store and told the salesman, "I want carpeting that looks like it's been thrown up on, walked on with muddy shoes, and had cornflakes ground into it, so when those things really do happen, it'll blend."
Apparently they don't get that request too often.
After that, I called my friend, Gin, who does my hair, and begged her to cover up my gray (you know, for the black and white picture).
Of course I woke up today with a lovely blemish the size of a Buick on my face. Maybe I'll spritz some Windex on it.

Hi Dawn:)
I had to comment on today's post. I also have 6 kids (mine are all boys) and my husband and I have had this conversation about names everytime we are choosing names. We ended up with Bible names. But we just started out naming the kids after family members (they just happened to have Bible names). I swear with #6 I said, "We can't just name him Bob, it won't go with the other names!" Love your blog (as does the rest of the world). Thanks for showing me I'm not the only crazy mom on the planet:)
- August 30, 2007 at 1:36 PM
That's great about your kids' names. We started out with Rebekah and Bethany, and THEN realized they were both seven-letter, three-syllable, biblical names, so we continued with Abigail and Timothy. I'm running out of decent names though! Some of our favorites are Goliath, Jezebel, and Delilah. LOL No, this next one will likely either be Gabriel or Tabitha.
Not that you really care or have time for that. :) But I'm just glad to know of someone else who's quirky about keeping the tradition alive in their kids' names. :)

My hubby does that kinda stuff all the time! At least yours was helping at least in different areas! I love how your kiddos didn't even know what you were talking about, were they watching tv when you asked them?! HA!

I hate when buicks park on my face too!
Just wanted to let you know that you help remind me (mother of 4) that somehow we will survive this.
If i can keep myself sane and them from growing up to be hookers and or murderers I'll be just fine!
Keep up the great writing!

That's too funny! My kids are also named after cities, all in Texas. I have an Austin, Isabel (Port Isabel), Dallas and Alexander. We didn't exactly plan it that way until after we had chosen my daughter's name and later found it on the map. I get all sort of ridiculious comments from people but, I love all their names! :)

Can you tell me the name of that carpet, please? I only have 2 boys...well, 3 if you count my hubby...and I'm desperately in need of new carpet, but don't want to get something 'nice' for fear of it getting destroyed!
Loving your posts!

HA-HA-HA!!! Haven't tried the Windex yet, but I hear it works!!

I've given up on my carpet. The cleaners are going to come, take one look at it, and provide the name of a good "haul it away and burn it" company. Then I will install laminate. And the carpet is exactly 4 years old. Kids'll do that.
I can only assume you're in the Chicago area (my old stompin' grounds), so good luck with the Trib, and let us know when it's available to read! :)

I am sure you and the house looked fine for the interview. Loved hearing about the kid's names. Can you tell me what the name of your carpet is, so I can go ask for that carpet by name? LOL

I wished that I could have recorded myself reading your post because when it got to the Buick part... I LOL! Somehow thought the abbreviation: LOL doesn't do justice to what really came out of my mouth!
- August 30, 2007 at 2:19 PM
- MJAZ said...
See that's exactly why I have tile! Then when something like that happens I just drag the waterhose in through the arcadia door and viola everythings clean! And drenched. Aw heck the kids do that already! Good luck on the interview!

You are SO funny! You have captured the attention of moms (and non-moms) around the world! We can all relate to your chaos. You have a way of explaining things that we ALL go through and it's FUNNY when YOU write about it! My kids drive me bonkers constantly and I get so frustrated but when I read about your day – I laugh hysterically! Your blogs have allowed me to see the humor of my crazy life at home. Some people can't wait to clock out and go home and rest (what's that?) I can't wait for the next morning to come so I can go back to work – and my job isn't all that exciting! I look forward to reading your blog everyday - Thank you for the laughs!

I LOVE that I got to listen to that radio interview with you because now when I read your posts I can put your voice to the words...does that make sense??? :) You ROCK. I love reading your writing and I commend you for being such a good momma to your children. It's easy to tell you love them very much and they are blessed to have you!!

lol... that pretty much describes the carpet we had in the house I grew up in. The upstairs carpet was a multi-color which had various shades of oranges reds and browns. My mom thought it was pretty. (Hey, it was put down in the mid 70s)

We named our first son Patriot and his initials are PM. My only stipulation for the second son's name was that it start with an "A" to make his initials were AM, so we named him Azlan (my husband wanted a "z." Now I have a morning son and a night son.

I love your kids names too! We don't have a theme, but I do have a Savannah & a Brooke. You picked great names. I know you don't care what I think, but I do like them!
Don't worry, anyone with more than 3 kids have to do an overhaul on the house for company too! I LOVE that you asked for carpet that looked messy already so it blended! We're finishing our basement & I just did the same. Well, I didn't ask the salesman for that, but I looked for it!!
Good job!

Hi Dawn..
I wanted to take a moment and suggest something to you in terms of working at home if your umpteen million other possibilities do not work out for you.
With your incredible writing talent and your beautifully correct grammar usage, have you given any thought to becoming a medical transcriptionist? I work from home as an MT, and my money is quite nice after only a year in the profession. I would be happy to share with you the school information where I attended. It is a bit pricey, but they do have student financial assistance. There are a LOT of SAHM's who have graduated from the school that I attended, as well as current students who are working their way through the program.
The industry needs people like you who pay attention to detail and who have situations where they really need to work from home, and set their own hours. Anyway, I am loving reading your blog entries, and if you would like more information about this career opportunity, please feel free to contact me at: email@example.com
I will be more than happy to point you in the direction you need to go. Working from home is very rewarding. Most companies provide the computers and give you a 12-hour-window in which to complete a 7-hour work day.
Given all of your success with your eBay listing and the frenzy it created all over the country, you probably do not even need this option. I just thought I would mention it to you, just in case you wanted to check it out.
Thanks for reading!

I have a Savannah too. Our names don't have reason other than my husband approved. We have a Jacquelyn and a Savannah. I admire people with courage in naming their children. My husband is really picky so I don't have much of a choice. Love the blogs! I totally understand the desperate need to have your husband help clean the house. I don't like people over unless my house is really clean. Needless to say we don't have a lot of house guests.

I'm surprised that carpet request is so rare. I think I'm going to invent that color / fabric. It'll be such a hit, I can tell already.
- August 30, 2007 at 2:56 PM
I have actually said almost the same thing about carpet, tile, furniture---pretty much anything my kids are going to touch. "I want dirt color--that way it will always look clean!" I have so enjoyed reading your blog--I have six little monsters myself, ages 8-16! Keep the laughs coming!

I, also, wanted to let you know that you are not alone with the "name thing". When my brothers named my neices and nephews it went: Sheila, Shayna, Shannon & Chantel (with the SHHH sound). At Christmas time, my grandmother would go, "Shhhhhhhhh. Shhhhhhhhh. (enter explitive that starts with "sh" here)...YOU!" And then she would point to the great-grandchild she wanted.
Hubby's mom and dad didn't get too creative. They named all of their children so that they all, at one time, had the initials C.L.C. No clue why!
Another fan of your blog here...read it daily. I'm only the mother of 1, well, 2 if you count DH, but I'm so right there with ya!
- August 30, 2007 at 3:05 PM
A friend just emailed me your write-up about the Pokemon cards on ebay. I'm sure you've heard this 2,643,987 times, but that was SO FUNNY! I only have two children, but much of what you wrote any Mom who has to shop with her kids can relate to. Then when I came over here to your blog, I laughed until I cried. I can't thank you enough! My mom died 7 months ago and that kind of laughter is rare these days. It felt good. Many blessings to you and yours!!! ;-)
- August 30, 2007 at 3:06 PM
Just wanted to say a quick hello, and good luck with that reporter. Im sure your children will have a hay day with him/her. Congrats on getting your hubby to help you around the house. Did you have to ask him to do it? lol... Well take care of your self and your wonderfull family.
till next time

Another Chicagoland BFGW fan! Redfaced now that my six year old "got" the windex reference....guess we've watched it too often?
All three generations in this house are loving your stories. THANKS
- August 30, 2007 at 3:12 PM
I heard that toothpast would have the same effect on the Buick. I tried it. Let's just say that the Buick turned into a Winnabego and I didn't need to take my BC pills for a week. Why you ask? Cuz no one would come near me with a ten foot pole! Hope the Windex works. But, I am sure you look fabulous! As long as they don't get a shot of you with a rum IV, you wil be awesome! I look forward to seeing the link. Thanks for the daily laughs. I look forward to seeing the new posts each day. *smooch*

I think I love you. I have not laughed so hard in months! I am also the mummy of many - we have 10 kids together. At one point I was the insta-mummy of 5 new kids plus my 2 and pregnant with another. It's been quite the ride.
I just read your email post on the pokeymon cards and the grocery trip - I HAVE DONE THIS WEEKLY FOR YEARS - and the only thing you left out was the inevitable moment that the littlest one without diapers HAS TO PEE - and of course you are at the furthest spot in the store with the grocery carts at their fullest.
Bless you and yours - we have an exciting life, don't we?

I LOVE YOUR BLOG! I also love that you stuck to a theme when picking out names. Kinda nice when you have so many, you can just start screaming out city's and you'll eventually get to your kids names! I have a friend who named 3 of her kids Candace, Cierra, Caleb, and then there's Thomas and Larrisa. What!?!? It's like they are the step kids. I did't have a theme just a requirement of names that could not be shortened. I have 4 kids and I had them all in less than 4 years, in fact I gave birth to #4 on #3 birthday.(yes you read correctly) I live in a house full of little ones and your eaby auction was sent to me by a friend, I laughed till I about fell off the chair! I then jumped over to your blog and have been hooked ever since. Reading your blog and all the comments from other moms just like me has helped me feel "normal", not everyone understands that pudding ends up in weird places and letting your kids go out in public dressed like a superhero is sometimes just necissary. Can't wait for the book!

I actually have carpet that color in my apartment. There is also a clause in my contract that I must clean said muddy thrown up upon cornflake rubbed carpet before leaving permanenetly.
Well why did they put it there in that color then?
I love your blog. A friend pointed me your way and though I don't have kids I do come from a VERY large family and pretty much get all the mania.

- August 30, 2007 at 3:33 PM
I know you don't have much time with all that is going on but I was wondering...Do you feel overwhelmed and pressured to keep posting on your blog because of your sudden popularity? I am not asking you to stop because I visit everyday and would actually have to do something productive if you stopped. I was just curious.....
- August 30, 2007 at 3:39 PM
Haha, brill.
Can't do the city names/kids' names in Icelandic, it would sound ridiculous, though.
The carpet - well actually I can't for the life of me understand why Americans (and Brits as well, actually) use all those carpets. Get terribly dusty and dirty and yukky, even though you vacuum all the time. I have all wooden floors, plus tile in kitchen and bathroom. Love it...

LOL windex is the solution to everything! I believe thats from Big fat greek wedding. So I am guessing your carpet is a variety of colours? Im sure the reporter will survive and so will you. Good Luck

Love the kids comments on what's happening with Mommy! Hysterical.
You truly are a gifted writer. I can "hear" your voice in your writing style, and that is something not many people can do.
Oh, and blemishes are the reason that there's PhotoShop. Just ask the photographer to "be kind" to you.
About kid names: love that you have a theme and the names are all still very cool. Sometimes families hit on a theme and then run into trouble. I dated a boy in high school who had 10 siblings. All of them had names that started with the letter "T," until the baby came along. His name was Chris. I'm not kidding.
I have 2 boys. The first one's name is Van. So for son #2, we decided to stick with a three-letter name. We settled on Cal. The neat thing is that their names really fit who they are.

I can't resist - I know you are getting a gazillion comments a day but - When I was pregnant with my first I had to go shopping on one of those "Bad prego days" (kinda like a bad hair day - only not).
Anyway - as I get to the register after waiting in line a year or so while listening to the 18yr. old, skinny, blond, ditz make major stupid conversation with everyone in front of me - she sees my last name (which is Fujan) and says "Like how to you say that...giggle" So I tell her it was pronounced Fuyon ( course it took her a minute to figure out what pronounced meant) Then she says brightly "Oh are you going to name your baby "Egg" - "Like Egg Fuyon...giggle"
I was NOT amused...LOL

I always said that the ideal family room was tiled and if you could have a drain hole in the center it would be perfect. We currently live in an all tiled house and it is so much easier to clean than carpet ever was. You just squeegee everything out the door!

We have that exact same carpet! (Vomit/mud/corn flakes). Only my request was Oreo crumbs. In fact, I begged my husband agree to buy the house BECAUSE of that carpet. The carpet was the clincher.
I can't wait to read your book...tell your husband you WILL make some money so he can work less hours...because we are all going to buy your book!
As for the clothes thing? My 12 year old son picks out clothes that don't match ON PURPOSE. Just because he knows it bugs me. It's such a guy thing. I can make that sexist statement, since I am soon to be the mom of three boys. ;)

WINDEX!? LOLOL. Awesome My Big Fat Greek Wedding reference.
By the way, your poor site must be like rush hour in New York City. Loads of traffic and slow. I would be so frustrated trying to write and edit.
Although, hmm, who is to say it is not just me! LOL
Love your blogs. Good luck and God speed with all these interviews!

I LOVE your blog!! I just found it today after a friend sent a link to your Pokemon stuff on Ebay. What a riot!! I'm sending a link to your blog to a good friend of mine who also is a mom of 6. It's not often that I find something to read that makes me laugh out loud when no one else is in the room...but you did it!!! Thanks a bunch!!

I work from home and have 3 children (Jessica 8,Matt 6, and Michael 19 months) and this blog is wonderful!
Yesterday somehow I managed to throw my cell phone away at my children's elementary school, which then made me late getting my daughter to her dance class, and explains why I couldn't 'find' my babysitter's phone number (in the cell phone, of course...) to let her know I was late and finally I ended the day getting my son to his soccer practice 30 minutes late (which was happily announced by the 8 little 6 year olds as we walked up to the field!!). Today's looking up...after only 10 minutes digging through the elementary school's dumpster (as my sister called it continously)... I found the recently purchased $120 cell phone....
As you know...it's days like this that one day I'll look back upon and laugh hysterically...and I think only a Mom has the capacity to actually somehow enjoy such chaos !!! You're blog makes me realize I'm not alone...Thank you for letting me laugh with you and at myself!
- August 30, 2007 at 5:15 PM
My mother emailed me the link to your Ebay auction. I desperately needed that. Thank you so much.
I am now reviewing your blog and getting some very healthy belly laughs. I only have three kids but I can relate to some of the shenanigans that yours have pulled. Keep up the great work and I hope you do end up with a book.

As for names.. I love it. I have 2 boys, Ezekiel and Nehemiah. Our pastor made a joke after Nehemiah was born.. that we had a long way to go to finish off the rest of the Old Testament prophets. :)
Also, thanks for telling us what your kids thought about all this. I almost wrote you to ask that yesterday!
- August 30, 2007 at 5:43 PM
So where did you get your carpet? I would love some for our house.
- August 30, 2007 at 5:48 PM
I am so happy for you! I pray you find a few moments of peace in each day to keep your sense of humor.
Still wondering if your my 1/2 sister Dawn, is your sister's name Tracy?
My solution to the carpet was sweat equity in exchange for hardwood throughout the main parts of the house! Only have 4 kids but we also have 4 dogs 2 cats, a turtle & 3 tanks with fish. NO inside birds but we have a crazy squirrel and a Daddy Cardinal that will perch on the window of what ever room I am in to let me know he is out of sunflowers outside

You know what I think you and I are twins seperated at birth!!! When my husband and I went to look at new livingroom furniture the sales lady asked me what color I wanted I told her something that looks like MUD!!!
I have 5 kids 19 PETE 17 kADIE 14 Luke 4 Noah and 3 Sawyer. Needless to say there is an age gap!! Why? Because I remarried and during the marital bliss I said to my husband lets have a baby. I was blinded by love and somehow forgot that I was OLD.WE had Noah and I said well we cant just have one he needs a playmate. Ok so now I have 5 kids and I totally think I have lost my mind. I am 41 but on most days feel as though I am 90. I havent had a full nights sleep in years. I stay up late at night to find the floors that I know are there because they are holding up the mess. There is no way in heck I would allow anyone to enter my home unannounced for fear of being turned in. My 2 younger ones who have so many toys Santa would faint refuse to play with them but would rather open up packages of Kool Aid and sprinkle them all over the house. They always seem to pick the ones that dont show until someone asks at the store why are your kids feet red. Now in the summer they rarely wear shoes becaue i can never find ones that match. They have several pairs each but I can never find complete pairs as we are ready to leave the house.

For those that can't relate to your sarcasm, they should see the love you have for children in the picture you chose at the top of your blog. Those eyes and that expression are more precious than the chocolate. And of course, the fact that you are "hanging in there with a sense of humor as the main weapon on the front lines of child rearing. I think you are doing terrific! And those that think "some people shouldn't have kids" are probably the ones who shouldn't!
I was never going to have kids with snot on their nose or shoes on the wrong feet at the grocery store. HAH! I was blessed with 2 kids whose eyes watered for the first year - constant eye infection. And a daughter with a minor immune system problem that had a green runny nose for the first 4 years until she outgrew it. I love my kids and I love to laugh at them. Thanks for helping unite moms.

Oh Dawn we love that your house is a mess and your kids are chaotic lol dont worry about the photos! Think of it this way - you are making it cool to live a fun and happy life with your kids, not beating them into submission in case they offend someone's sick idea of the 'perfect child', (does a perfect child even exist???).
Grab a tropical rum cocktail with a paper umbrella, and enjoy your new found fame, (oh and milk it for every penny lol).
Remember - what we love about you and your blog is that it's REAL life.

LOL! My dh and I have threatened to rent some of those POD's storage containers, and clean *EVERYTHING* out of our house (mostly kiddylinks' stuff) and then fumigate the entire premises. Somehow, tho', I think a dumpster would be more appropriate!
On one of those days that the house *really* gets to you, turn on BBCA and watch the program "How Clean Is Your House?" Then you'll be sitting there, polishing your nails on your shirt, saying, "Well, our house isn't *so* bad, after all!" :-D

I have to say, being at that age myself, that it should be against the laws of nature for there to be an age where you can have BOTH gray hair AND blemishes. It's just sick and wrong. The two should be mutually exclusive!

Love your blog. I have 4 kids and there are still days I'm not sure this is my calling, but whata ya do? It's not like I can stand up at the moms group where I'm part of the leadership team and say, "Ok, that's it, I resign from all of this. My kids are in the bunnies and bears room, arm wrestle over which one you want." I posted yesterday about our not so great adventure with Chick Fil A and their princess night. Some days you just have to laugh to keep from crying!

I too have a theme, or actually a couple for my kids names. Firstly they all have a 'Y' in them. Then, not knowingly we named them all noun names. Haha. We have Sabryna, Mychigan, Daisy, and Ryver. So it goes 'person, place, thing, and then place/thing.' I love your names by the way, especially Lexington...very original, which I like!
Keep up the good work, I love your blog!

I am sitting at my computer and tears are just rolling down my face - and I laughing so hard I can barely explain to my husband what is just so darn funny!! I come from a family of 5 kids ... and the age difference between oldest & youngest is 10 years. When out in public as the herd we were, we older children were often the cause of more trauma to my mother b/c we would incite the younger ones to be naughty, and we would embarass her on purpose (your butt paste comment might have gone from kids to mom). I give you a ton of credit - it sure ain't easy :) But I can't imagine life any other way. And your children will look back on these times and laugh, as much as you do. If not more, b/c when moms get mad, they make some funny faces ... and they say some funny things ... and kids have very long memories ;) Keep up the good work, Mom!!!!

The question about city naming made me think. My second son has his father surname, Keulen, which is Dutch for Germanys 4th city: Cologne(Köln). I called my second son Kars, a Scandinavian boys name to the best of my knowledge. Only recently (he is 18 now) we (he actually) found out this is also a city. In Turkey. So he is named after two cities.

On the carpet thing... A friend of my mom's once brought home a white carpet swatch and laid it just inside the kitchen door to be used as a welcome mat. A month later, you can only imagine the beautiful shade of muddy, grungy brown it had become. She then took it to the carpet store and said "match this!" She then had the perfect shade of kid-friendly carpet put down all over the house.

Thanks for your stories and the laughter you put into every situation!
I loved the grocery store story. Especially the apple part. Something similar happened with my 6 yr old DD. We just painted her walls in her room and told her NOT to tape anything on her wall. One day I went in there to find pictures on her wall. I said to her " Didn't we tell you not to tape anything to the wall?" She replied' "I didn't tape it, I GLUED it up!" UGH!
Note to mom: be more general rather than specific!

When we first moved to Chicago, my husband and I found the perfect house in the burbs, but it had vinyl flooring in the whole house, except the master bedroom. I mean the whole house - kitchen, family room, bathrooms, halls, stairs and bedrooms in this nasty brown fake parquet-look vinyl. It was horrid! And it didn't look like the current owners had more than 1 or 2 kids! I guess easy care won out over style. I still shudder when I think of it...

Oh my..... your blog is so busy that it takes forever to load and I have a fast cable connection. Anyway you are to Funny. Someone could just take all the blogs that you have already written and turn that in to a great book. That would save lots of time (and waiting for those of us that can't wait to read it) and you would get paid faster, You may end up like J.K. Rowling ( Harry Potter author) and your husband may never need to work again.....GOOD LUCK!!!

A friend of mine, actually my midwife, forwarded me your ebay site. She knew I would understand everything perfectly. I am the mother of 5. The last 2 are 2 year old twins.(God help us. Don't we know by now what causes this? Ha Ha) As I read your site to my husband, I would laugh and say, "I know this woman!" His responce..."I can tell by how you're reading it." It is very refreshing to know I am not the only one dealing with stupid comments like, "Are they all yours?" The ones I really enjoy though are, "Are they twins?" No, I just had them really really close together. Or while they are in pink dresses, "Are they girls?" No, they are both boys. I'm just trying to confuse them.
Thank you so much for a great laugh. I think you have made my entire families week. Hope you do write the book. When it is published I will be sure and buy a copy.

From all the other comments it looks like they'll have to re-name your carpet color "Dawn, mom from ebay". I've enjoyed reading your blog. I actually have it linked on my blog!

The weirdest "unauthorised shopping" my kids ever did (yeah, it's happened enough that we have a term for it :-P) were a tube of Fixodent (nope, don't need that - yet) and a $5 and change bag of cake or bread mix. $5?!? Mother was not pleased.
Kudos to you for your awesome writing. :) I'm way impressed that you have 14 brain cells left. I'm pretty sure I'm in the red, and I only have 4 kids.

I just wanted to say that you seem like such a great mom and I think you have a wonderful sense of humor. I only have one child so far, Kathryn 2, and she is a handful for me. I plan on having more because I grew up in a family of 6. People always said that my parents were quote " real Catholics" and I was weird to have so many siblings. I would just answer that it is great that my parents love kids so much and it is even more wonderful having so many brothers and sister. You know, when one or 4 siblings are mad at you, you always have one left to talk too unless they're not around and then your just shit out of luck and you can try again tomorrow. To end this comment I just want to tell you to keep on trucking. You really are my inspiration as a mom.

The house my parents built in the early 1097's had similar carpet. It had flecks of gold, brouwn, red, orange and green. I think it was called autumn leaves.
I tore the carpet out 5 kids ago. There is ugly linoleum on the floors that was under the carpet. Under the linoleum and plywood, there are old oak or maple floors. If only I had time and energy to tear the rest up and refinish the floors.

I just had to share that as I was reading your blog and laughing, and that's when I smelled it. A strange odor coming from my kitchen. Just then, I realized that I left tomatoes on the stove for the homemade salsa that I WAS making before I put my 14 month old to bed. Well, since her room is right next to my office, it only seemed natural to check my email. I received an email link to an ebay post that directed me to your blog. Now about that salsa that I was making...ummm...really, really blackened now. Somehow, that doesn't seem like anything compared to your days. Thanks for helping us laugh. Well, gotta go chizel salsa out of a pan.
Take care,

I am sitting here with my stash and not eating it cause I am afraid that I will choke on a Hershey kiss. I am enjoying your blog so much and the laughter is helping me stay in a very good mood tonight!! My boys since I have been reading your blog in the last hour have dumped water all over my dinning room table..instead of getting really mad and yelling at them i just told them to go play threw a towel on it so i could come and laugh some more!!
Thank you!!!

Your ebay entry was like a breath of fresh air. I am currently working offshore on an oil rig in the South China Sea off the coast of Brunei (very close to Malaysia....not far from Singapore). Yes, news of your ebay entry has made it halfway around the world.
I will send it to my wife, but I will probably have to read it to her myself because we have two small children (5 and 2 1/2)..... she is generally way to busy (and exhausted) to click on the links that I email to her!!
Good luck and thank you!

Whining about whiners
You can put your hands down now. I can't actually see you.
I can't quite remember the first angry ranting quitting WoW sucks post I saw. But it was not recent. It was not this year. Or last year. Or even the year before. Hm... angry quitters, as far as I can tell, seem to have been around since WoW began. I remember in vanilla when Blizzard was going through a series of much-needed class balancing and tuning patches, changes on a scale you'd normally expect for expansions, or that recent kerfuffel over aggro. Every single one of this patches was destroying WoW. Every class that had a patch was ruined. Every other class was ruined as well. They were dark times, a sure sign that WoW had fallen from the Golden Days of, let's say, two months before any given time.
My point is this: angry whiny veterans being angry and whiny about WoW are not new. Sometimes they have something worth saying. Sometimes they don't. But I am certain of one thing: they aren't going to stop any time soon, whether you scold them or not.
It's a bit of a mirror situation, I believe. The angry whiners write angry whiny posts and other angry and whiny people rally around them to be angrily whine. The loyalist tells them to shut up and quit if they're so angry and whiny, which in many cases they have done already, and a lot of other loyalists rally around expressing loyalty. It is ultimately just an arbitrary tribal activity. For the King! Or God! My God, to be specific, not yours, because my god is better than your god because mine is God! Also, shut up or be burned at the stake.
Yes, I am suggesting that people who criticize the endless angry whining are the same as the Spanish Inquisition, except more expected.
But dammit, what am I doing, except whining about the whining about whiners? Does that merely loop back around and put me on the enemy-of-enemy side and make me a whiner or am I a meta-whiner? I'm not sure I object to whining as a general principle, but maybe only in these specific cases. Except even then, I'm not sure I have a problem with the original whining, perhaps only the whining about whining. In that case, maybe it is the hypocrisy that bothers me? But who am I to criticize hypocrisy when I am so often myself? That would be hypocritical. About itself.
My head hurts now.

You should really stop whining about the whining loop, because this causes yet another whining loop which is about whining loops. And after than we go into the third dimension ;)

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Inbee Park caught the bad end of the draw at St. Andrews, made worse by not having her best golf.
Before she can think about a chance to make history as the first golfer to win four professional majors in the same season, Park faced a more immediate concern Friday afternoon in the Women's British Open — how to make up an eight-shot deficit against Na Yeon Choi.
"I'm so far back," Park said after a birdie on the final hole to salvage a 1-over 73. "We need some tough conditions."
The last time there was talk about a Grand Slam in this area of Scotland was 11 years ago, across the Firth of Forth at Muirfield, where Tiger Woods was going for the third leg of the slam. A nasty storm that arrived without warning blew him off course to an 81 in the third round and that was the end of it.
This wind at St. Andrews was the strongest of the week, though nothing out of the ordinary.
Choi played four groups behind Park and turned in a command performance, making six birdies for a 5-under 67 that gave her a one-shot lead over Miki Saiki of Japan going into the weekend. Saiki set the Old Course record for the Women's British Open with a 66 in the morning, where the only nuisance was a few bursts of showers.
Choi's 67 was 8.4 shots better than the average score of those who played in the afternoon, and one of only three rounds in the 60s. Conditions were so demanding that when Choi was asked to give details of her six birdies, the South Korean couldn't recall much further back than the 17th hole.
"Five hours out there, this kind of weather, it's hard to remember," she said.
It's a round Park would like to forget, one that will make her quest even more difficult to add to her trio of majors this year.
"A little bit of everything wasn't working well out there today," Park said. "I don't feel like I played horrible today. A little bit unlucky with the draw, not playing in the morning when it's lovely. But that's the way it is."
Her problems started on the opening hole, when her approach over the Swilcan Burn rode the wind and bounced beyond the green some 50 feet from the flag. Her chip only got halfway there, and she two-putted for bogey.
Park was never under par at any point in her round. A birdie on the sixth was offset by a three-putt bogey on the 10th. A birdie on the 12th was followed by a bogey on the 13th, in part due to a bad break. On the toughest driving hole on the back nine, Park hit her best tee shot — only for it to roll into a sand-filled divot. Her approach came up just short of the green, and she hit putter down the slope and 10 feet past the cup.
Her approach to the 17th ran up the left side of the Road Hole Bunker and left her about 60 feet, and she hit another poor lag — short and 8 feet to the right — leading to her second three-putt of the round, and fourth of the tournament.
At least she still had 36 holes — and plenty of hope — remaining to get back in the race. It was tough for everyone in the afternoon — except for Choi, who had a score that looked as if she were on the New Course — and Park isn't ruling herself out.
Neither is anyone else.
"The tough, gritty players can win this," Stacy Lewis said after a hard-fought 72 left her five shots behind. "Anybody under par is not out of this."
Morgan Pressel took another step toward locking up a spot on the Solheim Cup team with a 70 in the morning, leaving her two shots out of the lead. She now can think squarely about the Women's British Open, and perhaps adding a second major to the Kraft Nabisco Championship she won in 2007 as an 18-year-old.
Nicole Castrale, also making a last-ditch effort to make the Solheim Cup team, shot 34 on the tough back nine for a 70 and was in the group at 7-under 137 that included Jee Young Lee and Suzann Pettersen.
Choi is a former U.S. Women's Open champion, so she has proved she can handle difficult conditions. What helped was having her entire team with her this week — notably her Irish coach, Robin Symes, and his friend, who is working as a caddie. Her game management coaches, Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott, also are at St. Andrews.
She had to handle the blustery wind by herself.
"I had a daily goal, so I just tried to stick with the goal," Choi said. "It could be like par is 74 or 75 today. But I didn't care — par 3, par 4, par 5, doesn't matter to me. I just try to play one shot at a time, and I think that's why I had great results."
Even as the second round was finishing, it was clear this was a special round.
Birdies were mainly available on the outward nine, and it was all about hanging on from the 12th through the 17th holes. Choi hit a 3-hybrid off the tee on the 16th and a 3-wood into the green, and she hit driver and 3-wood to finish just short of the 17th green in two. From about 45 yards, she putted the ball to 3 feet for a tough par.
Park spoke about having nerves before she teed off Thursday. She conceded after the second round she felt the pressure of this historic chance when she first arrived at St. Andrews. She didn't see it as a burden, but an opportunity, saying that no matter what happens this week, it would teach her to handle any situation the rest of her career.
"When you experience something big like this, some kind of big pressure like this, you're just really not afraid of any kind of pressure," Park said. "How can it get bigger than this? Anything is going to be less than this."
After making birdie on the 18th, she did an interview with ESPN and then Golf Channel. After that, she stopped for a group of Korean TV reporters, who shouted instructions on where she should stand and to the two employees holding microphones. When she spoke to 10 reporters afterward, someone asked if she imagined having so much media gathered around her to ask so many questions.
"Well, this is pretty much the only week I'm going to get that much, so I should enjoy this moment," Park said.

PL/Tcl is a loadable procedural language for the PostgreSQL database system that enables the Tcl language to be used to write functions and trigger procedures.
PL/Tcl offers most of the capabilities a function writer has in the C language, with a few restrictions, and with the addition of the powerful string processing libraries that are available for Tcl.
One compelling
restriction is that everything is executed from within the safety of the context of a Tcl interpreter. In addition to the limited command set of safe Tcl, only a few commands are available to access the database via SPI and to raise messages via elog(). PL/Tcl provides no way to access internals of the database server or to gain OS-level access under the permissions of the PostgreSQL server process, as a C function can do. Thus, unprivileged database users may be trusted to use this language; it does not give them unlimited authority.
The other notable implementation restriction is that Tcl functions may not be used to create input/output functions for new data types.
Sometimes it is desirable to write Tcl functions that are not restricted to safe Tcl. For example, one might want a Tcl function that sends email. To handle these cases, there is a variant of PL/Tcl called PL/TclU (for untrusted Tcl). This is the exact same language except that a full Tcl interpreter is used.
If PL/TclU is used, it must be installed as an untrusted procedural language
so that only database superusers can create functions in it. The writer of a PL/TclU function must take care that the function cannot be used to do anything unwanted, since it will be able to do anything that could be done by a user logged in as the database administrator.
The shared object code for the PL/Tcl and PL/TclU call handlers is automatically built and installed in the PostgreSQL library directory if Tcl support is specified in the configuration step of the installation procedure. To install PL/Tcl and/or PL/TclU in a particular database, use the createlang program, for example createlang pltcl
or createlang pltclu

Official Lies
ACRU Staff
February 2, 2013
This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published January 30, 2013 on Townhall.com.
Let's expose presidential prevarication. Earlier this year, President Barack Obama warned that Social Security checks will be delayed if Congress fails to increase the government's borrowing authority by raising the debt ceiling. However, there's an issue with this warning. According to the 2012 Social Security trustees report, assets in Social Security's trust funds totaled $2.7 trillion, and Social Security expenditures totaled $773 billion. Therefore, regardless of what Congress does about the debt limit, Social Security recipients are guaranteed their checks. Just take the money from the $2.7 trillion assets held in trust.
Which is the lie, Social Security checks must be delayed if the debt ceiling is not raised or there's $2.7 trillion in the Social Security trust funds? The fact of the matter is that they are both lies. The Social Security trust funds contain nothing more than IOUs, bonds that have absolutely no market value. In other words, they are worthless bookkeeping entries. Social Security is a pay-as-you-go system, meaning that the taxes paid by today's workers are immediately sent out as payment to today's retirees. Social Security is just another federal program funded out of general revenues.
If the congressional Republicans had one ounce of brains, they could easily thwart the president and his leftist allies' attempt to frighten older Americans about not receiving their Social Security checks and thwart their attempt to frighten other Americans by saying "we are not a deadbeat nation" and suggesting the possibility of default if the debt ceiling is not raised. In 2012, monthly federal tax revenue was about $200 billion. Monthly Social Security expenditures were about $65 billion per month, and the monthly interest payment on our $16 trillion national debt was about $30 billion. The House could simply enact a bill prioritizing how federal tax revenues will be spent. It could mandate that Social Security recipients and interest payments on the national debt be the first priorities and then send the measure to the Senate and the president for concurrence. It might not be a matter of brains as to why the Republican House wouldn't enact such a measure; it likes spending just as the Democrats.
I believe our nation is rapidly approaching our last chance to do something about runaway government before we face the type of economic turmoil seen in Greece and other European nations. Tax revenue has remained constant for the past 50 years, averaging about 18 percent of gross domestic product. During that interval, federal spending has risen from less than 20 percent to more than 25 percent of GDP. What accounts for this growth in federal spending? The liberals like to blame national defense, but in 1962, national defense expenditures were 50 percent of the federal budget; today they are 19 percent. What accounts for most federal spending is the set of programs euphemistically called entitlements. In 1962, entitlement spending was 31 percent of the federal budget; today it is 62 percent. Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security alone take up 44 percent of the federal budget, and worse than that, it's those expenditures that are the most rapidly growing spending areas.
Our federal debt and deficits are unsustainable and are driven by programs under which Congress takes the earnings of one American to give to another, or entitlements. How long can Congress take in $200 billion in revenue per month and spend $360 billion per month? That means roughly 40 cents of every federal dollar spent has to be borrowed. The undeniable fact of business is that a greater number of people are living off government welfare programs than are paying taxes. That's what's driving Europe's economic problems, and it's what's driving ours. The true tragedy is that just to acknowledge that fact is political suicide, as presidential contender Mitt Romney found out. We can't blame politicians. It's the American people who will crucify a politician who even talks about cutting their favorite handout.
