Families Are Like Fudge......: December 2006

| Mana Mana |
Does anyone remember the commercial from this past summer from Diet Dr. Pepper with the guy talking to the lady. She is drinking a Diet Dr. Pepper and the people around her are singing Do Do Dah Do Do Do, Mana Mana. If found the Video from the Muppets with them singing it.
This song occationally pops up around our house. Someone will say something that will promt us to go into singing it. Usually it is me doing the "Do Dooo Dah Do Do" and my 7 year old daughter and my sone following with the "Mana Mana"
I love it!!! Though now I have that darn song stuck in my head.

| Flash Warning |
I'm not sure if this information is completely true. I'm working on finding out what, if any of it is true. I just thought I would post it just in case it is true. I'd rather have everyone be safe and it be false than me not posting this information and it be true. I'll keep everyone posted.
This came form the Sheriff's Dept in Dodge County , NE. This goes along with info heard about this gang on Oprah. It is totally scary. Be careful friends and family!
THIS INFORMATION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!
Don't flash your headlights at a car with their lights not on!!
Police officers working with the DARE program have issued this warning:
If you are driving after dark and see an oncoming car with no headlights on, do not flash your lights at them. This is a common Bloods member "initiation game" that goes like this:
The new gang member under initiaion drives along with no headlights on and the first car to flash their headlights at him is now his "target". He is now required to turn around and chase that car, then shoot and kill every individual in the vehicle in order to complete his intiation requirements. Police Depts across the nation are being warned.
Their intent is to have all the new bloods nationwide drive around on Friday and Saturday nights with their headlights off. In order to be accepted into the gang, they have to shoot and kill all individuals in the first auto that does a courtesy flash to warn them that their lights are off. make sure you share this information with all the drivers in your family! |

| Lazy |
| Has anyone noticed that the more technology progresses the lazier people get? Just this morning at work I answer the phone. Good Morning Thank You for calling the .... Courtyard by Marriott How May I direct your call? The guy on the other end say's "I'm going to be in town next Tuesday and Wednesday what is the weather forcast then?" I'm thinking to myself I don't know todays weather forcast let alone next Tuesday and Wednesdays forcast but in the name of guest service I tell him I can look if he doesn't mind holding for a minute. He agrees to hold and I go to the weather.com and check the forcast. I take him off hold and tell him that we will be in the upper 40's to low 50's all next week. How hard would that have been for him to do what I just did. The only thing I can think of is that this guy was computer stupid. Good greif learn how to use the internet people. |

| PIN Number Reversal |
I don't know if this truly works and I hope I never have to find out if it does. The information is good to know though. I got it in an e-mail and thought I would share it with everyone.
If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # inreverse. For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321. The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine.The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you. This information was recently broadcasted on TV and it states that it is seldom used because people don't know it exists. |

| Stupid Package Labels |
In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.
- On a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping. (That's the only time I have to work on my hair!)
- On a bag of Fritos -- You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?)
- On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap." (And that would be???....)
- On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but it's just a suggestion.)
- On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside down." (well...duh, a bit late, huh!)
- On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding -- "Product will be hot after heating." (...and you thought????...)
- On packaging for a Rowenta iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me time?)
- On Boot's Children Cough Medicine -- "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5 year-olds with head-colds off those bulldozers.)
- On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (...I'm taking this because???....)
- On most brands of Christmas lights -- "For indoor or outdoor use only." (as opposed to what?)
- On a Japanese food processor -- "Not to be used for the other use." (now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)
- On Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts" (talk about a news flash!)
- On an American Airlines packet of nuts--"Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: say what?)
- On a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)
- On a Swedish Chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." (Oh my God..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

| RD Challenge |
A friend quizzed me on this and I thought it was fun. Hope you enjoy it was much as I did. He said he found it in the Readers Digest. Of course I don't know which one. Plus even if I did I wouldn't tell you cuz then you could cheat.
Can you name that tune? Each line below is a clue to a well know yuletide song. You'll have to decode some lofty language to come up with the carols so if you ready...... get humming!
- Listen to the celestial messengers produce harmonious sounds.
- Embellish the interior passageways.
- Twelve o'clock on a clement night witnessed its arrival.
- The Christmas preceding all others.
- Small municipality in Judea south of Jerusalem.
- Omnipotent supreme being who elicits respite in distinguished males.
- Nocturnal time span of unbroken quietness.
- Obese personification fabricated of compressed mound of minute crystals.
- Tintinnabulation of vacillating pendulums in inverted, metallic, resonant cups.
- I awe of the eventide characterized by religiosity.
Lets see how you can do with this. Post your answers by number in the comment section. |

| Raids |
 Was looking at the USA Today this morning and there was a raid at a company in my hometown. I find it funny that it made the front page. Well I guess it isn't funny that it made the front page as much as it being in my hometown.
Growing up and living there for almost 23 years nothing exciting ever happened. It was the same old town. Though when I left it was growing like a weed and still is but a raid in my hometown. Good Grief is no where safe anymore?
If you want to read the article here is a link to it on the USA Today web page: |

| Pickles |
Nuts I was nuts once I hated pickles. They put me on a shelf next to pickles. It almost drove me nuts.

I have felt this way about my kids for a few days now. They are constantly fighting, bickering, and any other thing to drive me nuts. Anyone one want a 7 or 8 year old they are free.
PS: For your sanity you may not want to take them as a pair. |

| Eraser |
As a mother of two young children I've cleaned my share of ears. I try my best to clean my kids ears out atleast once a week to get the dirt and other things out that are not supposed to be in there out. For the last month my son has had something orange in his ear that looked like a lil pez candy but smaller. After asking him if he had put anything in his ear he answered no. Trying to believe my son I wondered what would cause his ear to look like that. My only conclusion was he had and ear infection but his ear didn't hurt at all. After checking his ears once a week and asking the question "Did you put anything in your ear?" we finally got the truth out of our eight year old. He said he didn't put it there it fell in when he was playing with it but putting it in his ear and tilting his head and then tilting it the other was to let it fallout. Well you can guess that it didn't fall out the last time and got stuck. Instead of telling us when he did it or when we asked him if he put anything in his ear he thought he we lie to us for a month. So today we fished it out of his ear to find that it was a peice of orange eraser. Goodness kids can be strange at times. |

| The Roof, the roof, the roof is on FIRE!!!! |
My life is generally uneventful. Not tonight though. around 9:15 some lady came to my apartment door and told me we had to evacuate that the apartment was on fire. Well I go get my kids out of bed tell them we have to leave the apartment is on fire. We get out and get to the end of the strip we live in and there is a fire but nothing we really had to worry about. But here is a picture of the great fireman of OKC and the fire. Lucky for the apartment complex that those were already empty from a previous fire a few months ago. Just glad it was us!!! |

| Found It |
Okay I no longer need to be saved from the dress monster. I know need to be saved from the price monster. I found the dress! Only problem now is the price. $180!!! I know formals are expensive and knew what I was getting myself into when I went into the store. Now I just need to talk hubby into buying it. Remembering that I will still need shoes, a strapless bra, a girdle and other misc. things to go with it. |

| Dress |
For this holiday season I am not only trying to find the perfect gift for everyone on my list but I am also trying to find the perfect dress. Yes a dress. Not any dress but a formal for my hubby's christmas party. I hate shopping let alone for a formal dress. Granted back in the day I used to wear them all the time and somewhat enjoyed it. Since then I've put on a few pounds and just can't seem to find one that I like. The one dress that you go "That is the one, it is perfect." Nope haven't found that dress yet. Wish I could. I have till December 16 to find it. After that I'm in big trouble because the party is on the 17. Someone save me from this. |

| Sledin' |
Snow I love snow!!!!! I took the kids sledding today at the sledding hill. OH MY GOSH was it slippery. The kids could barely make it back up the hill without falling and sliding back down. Poor Cera had worn her play shoes that had no tread on them and it took her almost 5 minutes to get back up the hill. She finally needed someone to help her back up. Wish I would have taken some video it would have been amusing to watch. |
