Mom also gave me my present from her early, which was a beautiful box of things she'd been collecting. Among the things she gave me were beads (yay) and a china set wind chime. Pretty cool! I had a great day. Now I have to get off the computer so that Miah can practice her spelling words. Thank you guys all for your birthday wishes! You all make me feel so good!
Too bad it can't get rid of RUST!! There is a product they sell, but I won't endorse it until I can try it myself! You have to actually unscrew the top of the stove from the counter. I shocked the **** out of myself, have to remember to BE CAREFUL!!
I have to say, I'm pretty impressed! I took my stuff to Mom's house to show it off, and it cleaned an old stain off the carpet wonderfully. I didn't have my camera, but I do have a couple of stains I can work on at my house. More to come! Let me know if you would like to try something , or go to my website and check it out! www.myh2oathome.com/Laforest
I know, I know. Big shock, I like some of Eminem's "music". He's almost a musical comedian, or at least he was a few years ago. The guy has huge balls, and I love anyone who tells the world to kiss his/her ass. I've never really liked Rhianna. She's not exactly the role model I'd pick for my girls, and the music is questionable too... There is something about the chorus of this song I like, and it gets stuck in my head a lot. However, the lyrics are horrible. Even worse when you watch this video. I can't stand it, but boy, what a "teachable moment". The girls and I have had a few tough conversations about what to do in an abusive relationship, and well, how to put this delicately? What I'D do to fix it, we'll say... This video was an opportunity to point out how (I don't want to say stupid, someone help me out here) some women are stuck, and why it's bad...but the video sure makes it seem lusty and erotic to be in the relationship...It makes me feel a little ill to watch. It's scary. However, turn off the radio, block youtube, don't let the kids watch or listen... free speach and all... but I just wanted to point it out, let you know what the lyrics are, be aware of what's on the radio, and what the kids might pick up...
Just gonna stand there And watch me burn But that's alright Because I like The way it hurts Just gonna stand there And hear me cry But that's alright Because I love The way you lie I love the way you lie I love the way you lie
I can't tell you what it really is I can only tell you what it feels like And right now there's a steel knife In my windpipe I can't breathe But I still fight While I can fight As long as the wrong feels right It's like I'm in flight High of a love Drunk from the hate It's like I'm huffing paint And I love it the more that I suffer I sufficate And right before im about to drown She resuscitates me She fucking hates me And I love it Wait Where you going I'm leaving you No you ain't Come back We're running right back Here we go again It's so insane Cause when it's going good It's going great I'm Superman With the wind in his bag ( I think that's supposed to be "back") She's Lois Lane But when it's bad It's awful I feel so ashamed I snap Who's that dude I don't even know his name I laid hands on her I'll never stoop so low again I guess I don't know my own strength
Just gonna stand there And watch me burn But that's alright Because I like The way it hurts Just gonna stand there And hear me cry But that's alright Because I love The way you lie I love the way you lie I love the way you lie
You ever love somebody so much You can barely breathe When you're with them You meet And neither one of you Even know what hit 'em Got that warm fuzzy feeling Yeah them chills Used to get 'em Now you're getting fucking sick Of looking at 'em You swore you've never hit 'em Never do nothing to hurt 'em Now you're in each other's face Spewing venom And these words When you spit 'em You push Pull each other's hair Scratch, claw, bit 'em Throw 'em down Pin 'em So lost in the moments When you're in 'em It's the rage that took over It controls you both So they say it's best To go your separate ways Guess that they don't know ya Cause today That was yesterday Yesterday is over It's a different day Sound like broken records Playin' over But you promised her Next time you'll show restraint You don't get another chance Life is no Nintendo game But you lied again Now you get to watch her leave Out the window Guess that's why they call it window pane
Just gonna stand there And watch me burn But that's alright Because I like The way it hurts Just gonna stand there And hear me cry But that's alright Because I love The way you lie I love the way you lie I love the way you lie
Now I know we said things Did things That we didn't mean And we fall back Into the same patterns Same routine But your temper's just as bad As mine is You're the same as me But when it comes to love You're just as blinded Baby please come back It wasn't you Baby it was me Maybe our relationship Isn't as crazy as it seems Maybe that's what happens When a tornado meets a volcano All I know is I love you too much To walk away though Come inside Pick up your bags off the sidewalk Don't you hear sincerity In my voice when I talk Told you this is my fault Look me in the eyeball Next time I'm pissed I'll aim my fist At the dry wall Next time There will be no next time I apologize Even though I know it's lies I'm tired of the games I just want her back I know I'm a liar If she ever tries to fucking leave again I'mma tie her to the bed And set the house on fire
Just gonna stand there And watch me burn But that's alright Because I like The way it hurts Just gonna stand there And hear me cry But that's alright Because I love The way you lie I love the way you lie I love the way you lie
While clicking on my "stumble" button out of sheer boredom, I found this website. Here are a few of my favorites: In Florida, having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal. "Female breasts," according to the Arizona Supreme Court, don't constitute "private parts" under state law. (Oh, those crazy Arizonians!) The Asiatic Huns punished convicted male rapists and adulterers with castration. Female adulterers were merely cut in two. In London, it's illegal to have sex on a parked motorcycle. (but a moving one??)
In 100 A.D., the Teutons, an Germanic tribe, would punish anyone caught as a prostitute by suffocating them in excrement. ( Uh, nevermind...)
The Romans would crush a first-time rapist's gonads between two stones. (Those Romans had great ideas!)
The early Christian church forbade couples from having sex on Wednesdays, Fridays and of course, Sundays. (This is why it is called the EARLY christian church. lol) In Pompeii, a special law was directed at prostitutes. They had to dye their hair either blue, red or yellow in order to be able to work.( I'll never look at VIII the same again!)
While not as extreme as the ancient Israelite punishment for adultery (stoning), Greek men still had their fair share of discomfort when their pubic hair was removed and a large radish was shoved up their rectum. (Yummy. No more salad for me again. Ever.)
In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. The husband's lover may be killed in any manner desired. ( I'm liking this a little too much!)
As recently as 1990, these states had laws against the use of dildos: Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Washington D.C. (Well now, There are a lot of sad army wives in THOSE states. LOL, Oh.MY.GOD.)
The only acceptable sexual position in Washington, DC is the missionary position. Any other sexual position is considered illegal. (The poor Obamas) It is illegal for any member of the Nevada legislature to conduct official business wearing a penis costume while the legislature is in session. ( I want to have been in the session when they decided this law was necessary!)
A law in Fairbanks, Alaska does not allow moose to have sex on city streets. (AND that's why I didn't see any moose in Town!!)
Sodomy laws have been repealed—or are ignored—in most states, but not Georgia, where a man was sentenced to five years in prison for engaging in oral sex. With his wife. With her consent. In their home. (Freedom, huh? How did the law find out about this event, anyway?) In the state of Utah, sex with an animal, unless performed for profit, is not considered sodomy and therefore is legal. (and on that note, I'm out. I cannot possibly comment without offending anyone...lol Insert nasty anti-someone's religion joke HERE.) Check out the rest. They are funny as all get out!
Okay, a couple more : "Sperm is always impure," decreed the Ayatollah Khomeini, "whether it comes from coitus or from involuntary emissions while asleep." Therefore, Iranians are forced by law to go through ablution—or the ritualistic washing away of impurities as in a religious rite—after being involved in certain kinds of sexual activities. (Ablution isn't necessary, however, if the sperm stays inside the woman's vagina after lovemaking is completed.) According to Iranian law, a man is required to perform his ablutions if he ejaculates while having sexual relations with an animal.
Citizens of most Middle Eastern countries are forbidden to eat lamb under certain circumstances covered by Islamic law. The law reads, "After having sexual relations with a lamb, it is a mortal sin to eat its fles
In Oman, if a man has sex with a camel, a cow, or a ewe, the law says that the animal's milk becomes impure and is no longer suitable for human consumption. Oman law requires that the animal must immediately be killed and then burned. The person who sodomized the beast is required to pay its owner the dead animal's full market value.
According to Lebanese law, a woman must be executed for fornicating with any animal—wild or domesticated.
The law in Iran actually suggests that sex play by their male population "with wild animals is not recommended, especially with a lioness." What is recommended instead is coitus with domesticated animals such as dogs, cats, donkeys, lambs and, yes, of all things—pigeons.
Sodomy is also commonplace in parts of the Middle East. Again, special legislation can be found in Iran to cover this form of sexual activity. The law declares that if a man's penis fully penetrates another man's anus, ablution is also a necessity, but this time for both parties to the sex act.
Went off without a hitch! How cute are these kiddos? (Jay found my cord. The first time EVER that I asked him where something was and he walked straight up to it. Now I know how he and the kids feel when I do that to them!)
I noticed that a lot of people wander over to my blog after searching for these words in google. We'd be happy to answer questions about Fort Gordon if you'd care to ask... Jay teaches an AIT class here, has done ISP (the Funeral detail and such) and has been in the Army for twelve (Holy Cow!) years, so feel free to ask away.
The New York trip was rather uneventful. As planned. We sat and read, swam in Lake Erie, and played board games. Laurel and I went alone to the craft fair. Not a good description. When I think Craft Fair, I think popsicle stick reindeer christmas ornaments and hand crocheted hot pads. What we saw instead was real art. Pottery, Paintings, Lapidary artists, etc. So expensive, but so worth it! We got some great pieces, and drove right back to the camp ground. Read some more, played games. You know, the usual.
