Thoughts for WAHDads

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

The whole cottage industry of blogging isn’t any different than other forms of self employment, but it does have certain pitfalls when bloggers don’t know how to better protect themselves and their family’s futures.

Whether it’s an IRA or medical travel, rather than take the word of push button publishers with a following…it’s best to simply talk to an attorney before going totally professional.

Anything less is just blowing smoke up the wrong hole when you get right down to it…isn’t it?

Concepts about clone, cattle, and belly buttons

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Clones would have issues drinking when watching others do test tube shots. The girl clones’d be ‘all that’ and jealous over the ‘real women’ getting their bellybuttons sucked while laced with Jose Cuervo.

Then there’s the whole sheep, llama, and cow issues. If we went to cloning, would sales of cattle supplies increase or would people just go green recycling the same harnesses.

Lastly, what about laws involving certain practices between animals and mankind. If a man clone did something ‘randy’ with a ‘real’ cow, would it be as legal since the man clone doesn’t have a soul.

Or does he?

Howie doin' his rounds on buy.com

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

Ok, so someone sent me a link for a sale promo over on Youtube.com. Howie Mandel gettin’ some woman’s bling on.

Nicely executed, appears ‘raw’, not looking rehearsed. Female counterpart looks like genuine prospect and not an actor. Items identified are within financial budget of most purchasers, while being attractive.

Overall rating for this out of 10, I’d give it a 7.

-1 because Howie didn’t ask me to be in his commercial.
-1 because Howie didn’t ask me for my opinion to begin with.
-1 because Howie hasn’t returned my calls this week.

We all must have our standards.

Some things you just have to accept

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

About twenty years ago I was introduced to a frail young lady, my sister in law. In her twenties, she appeared as a 12 year old due to multiple handicaps which include cerebral palsy.

I’ve never been one to be put off from someone with a disorder they’re dealing with, but it wasn’t easy finding common ground until I one day realized my 20something sisterinlaw to be would never be just that…to me.

She’d always be a 12 year old giggly girl with eyes having a crush on her future brother in law. It was after this realization that I became more closer to her, as well as always able to tease her about new boyfriends and not being able to date or marry me while having any.

Some people will tell you to do this…do that…or the other. Sometimes it’s just better to accept things at face value, than play the whole head game. Kids and family members with special needs translate into family members HAVING to make adjustments, no matter what anyone says.

It’s just that adjustments need to be a matter of the person in the relationship…not anyone ‘advocating’ for others, while getting a paycheck or marketing spin on a commercial for it.

Setting priorities this year

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

It’s coming up to the time of year when we all try and improve our lives, whether lifestyle or health changes. This year I’m opting for improving my clothing, since I’ve been dressed ‘for mess’ by MrsC for two decades.

The drawback is cost. I checked at my local Belks…Polo Shirts=$80.00! Maybe check into some equestrian riding apparel stuff and see what’s in my budget. Chances are I’ll stick with standard 501 jeans, which I found around $20.00 a pair.

The big thing is to make small purchases of things that will last, and to get rid of the garbage accumulated so that my style is unique and less junk.

You got zits??? Cry me a river!

I actually got an email from someone this last year asking me for help with their ’skin problem’. Personally I don’t consider shoving cheese doodles on your facial orifice something I can help with, but I’m always happy to oblige with telling people what to do.

1. Wash your face three times a day. Coincide it with the time you should be brushing those white things in your oral orifice.

2. Wash your hands 2o times a day. Be compulsive and count them out loud each time you go to the bathroom, singing ‘Happy Birthday’ twice each time while lathering. JUST DO IT!

3. Wash your mouse. No, not your ‘thing’ in front of your posterior orifice, the one on your computer.

4. Quit touching your face. I wouldn’t want to touch your face after you’ve been grabbing your mouse; or whatever; let alone…nevermind. Just stop it.

5. Proactiv acne cream: GET some! Slather it on. Feel it work. Become one with The Force. Wonder where the yellow went.

6.  Remember I love you unconditionally.  I just don’t love the thought of your hands and wherever they’ve been, so keep them off that face.

Reaching out when things are out of reach

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Tomorrow night I’ve got plans of shadowing another outreach after work, after I pick up some shipping boxes. The problems I’ve seen over the last few months have only proven to me more that having faith others will do the right thing leads in many cases lost opportunities.

My wife spent some time the last few weeks touching base with a homeless teen known to our family that grew out of the homeless system while becoming a mother herself.

The thing that pains me the most is that we both know this person to be trying very hard, as well as some of the direct family makeup involved.

We know matters involving specifics, and we also know how easy it is for someone to fall between the cracks when not giving in to abusive authority figures.

When is enough, enough?

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

A man sells you a policy for life insurance. The value a determined amount, no checks on health, just good hard cash when someone kicks the bucket.

Maybe even borrow against it in time after there’s some maturity.

But how much is enough for a human life? I’ve always felt I’m worth more than $10,000,000.00 USD. I might not appear to be that worthy to someone else, but to me my life is.

Our Minds Can Wander

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

Sometimes when I’m sitting back thinking over the years about different computer systems I’ve seen come and go, it makes me realize we’re still in the dark ages of this young revolution.

It took years to go from a GUI created in DOS to WinX. It took how many versions since the first to see Vista. And it’s never good enough. One big marketing ploy.

The next generation will not rely on the Operating System, but rather the ability to view through browser technology across multiple platforms. For now we’ll still need to continue to pursue a memory upgrade every once in a while.

If you’re like me you prefer to put your blood, sweat and tears in the best buy possible. You don’t want second best. You want what’s your due!

Expect the same from service providers, no matter what the situation in your life. Don’t take mediocrity. Don’t accept half done work, no matter the intention.

You do it out of being nice, you’ll get used the next time…and it’ll be your own fault.

Investigate before you invest. Stand your ground while still standing in line.
