South Park

01 Apr

One of my favorite television shows is South Park. I think it’s hilarious, but my mom doesn’t really like it. She says the characters talk too fast and that it can be inappropriate at times. I don’t disagree that it can be pretty inappropriate, but at the same time South Park isn’t made to be viewed by young children, which they tell you before the show starts. But she’s okay with me watching it, so that’s good! South Park makes fun of pretty much everything and always seems to make it gross or violent. Yet that’s why I love it so much! It’s a hilarious show, so if you’re not too young and have a good sense of  humor, I’m sure you’d like it too!

 

School Needs This?

19 Sep

My sister called to chat and I asked her how my nephew is doing in  school. Their school year started back in August and he will probably be getting a report card soon. He is in the 3rd grade this year and has a birthday coming up. We are so proud of our little man!

She told me about a recent homework assignment for reading. We used to call that subject English but I guess that is no longer politically correct. The assignment asked a lot of strange questions, such as how many books do you own? What is your public library card number? What is your favorite book and why?

It seems to me that the school should not be asking these types of questions. Why is it any of their business what a child’s library card number is? That is private information, and for that matter, so is the name of my favorite book.

 

Memories are Small Comfort

09 Aug

A good friend of mine got horrible news last night. His teenage son was in a car accident and was killed. That is the kind of thing you never ever want to deal with. What a shame to lose one so young and full of promise to someone else’s carelessness. No matter how a good a driver you are, you always have to watch out for the other idiots on the road with you.

My heart goes out to the family.

 

Merry Christmas Family and Friends!

Here’s hoping that Santa find your house tonight and is very, very good to you!

 

Good Cooking

With the bad economy, we hardly ever eat out at restaurants anymore. We just can’t afford it like we used to.

The up side is that I am becoming a pretty good cook. At least I think so. And no one has refused to eat the dinners.
