The Classics - Sahara Hare

I really love this cartoon. In my humble opinion the best of the Bugs Bunny episodes.

Work@Home

I have no idea how true work at home types can do it. I just can't focus at home. I have no idea how they can block out all the distractions and still get things done. If I have my own home based business, it would still have to be somewhere other than my home, or I wouldn't stay in business long. I have worked from home a few times for my current job, and I don't feel anywhere near as productive. I really try to do it as rarely as possible for that reason. I guess self motivation has to be at a pretty high level to make it work, or as I suggested, you have to buy an off site office to make it work.

Terms and Conditions

Does anyone know what the term "term life insurance" means?

I have no idea what it means to have term, whole, partial, secondary, elite or any other types of life insurance that I could make up.

I know that I have it through work and that we have it for my wife but that's about it. Hopefully we have the right kind, assuming that one of the kinds is bad. As it is, I don't really know.

This probably is one of those things that it pays to understand but I've just never taken the time. If anyone has I'd be interested to know in as few words as possible, given that your meaning is still clear. A response of "blue" won't mean much unless you include a few more words, for instance.

Thanks again for keeping me well informed.

Leo's Crib

I saw something about Da Vinci baby furniture today which naturally got my humor synapses firing almost immediately. I know nothing about this product but my initial thought was of the crazy helicopter design you always see in museums and how that could somehow be made into a baby bed. It would be "fly" for sure.

The Vitruvian man would also make a great mobile as long as you don't mind scarring your children for life. I figure that's a small price to pay for instilling a little art and culture into them.

Lastly, you could read the Dan Brown novel to them each night. It would be a version without all the made up stories and falsified facts in it so it would only be about 10 pages long.

Traditional Changeup

Have you ever been to a wedding and thought that the bride and groom should get a bit more creative when the pastor asks them "what symbol have they brought to signify their union".

Everyone does wedding bands. I tried to convince my wife that we should use bandannas just to get a good laugh out of the crowd but she was against the idea for some reason.

But wouldn't it be funny to hear:

"Tatoos", or "I'm with stupid, T-shirts", or "play-doh".

It would be a quick and easy way to release the tension and get a good laugh out of the audience, assuming you didn't mind sleeping on the couch on your wedding night.

House Market, bouse shmarket

Things aren't good on the home selling front. We will be wrapping up year 2 in our attempt here soon and still no takers. Perhaps if this was Tampa real estate we were trying to sell we'd be ok but backwoods Ohio just doesn't seem to be in high demand. Shocking, I know...

In any case we will keep trying. Hopefully we can get the job done before our oldest starts school but you never know. If not it will present some problems down the road. Already we are all but guaranteed to have to make the girls share a room when the baby is born.

Oh well, what can you do?

What's Up Doc

Our obgyn told us this funny story the other day. He was using the handheld doplar to listen for the baby's heart beat. The funny thing was, the office was very close to the freeway, and just as he put the mic on her stomach they heard:

"breaker 1-9, breaker 1-9" come through the speaker.

No word on whether the baby is on his/her way to becoming a trucker.
