The beauty of the internet

People have different opinions of the internet.  Some hate it and would declare it the ruin of civilization.  Others wouldn’t know what to do with themselves if they didn’t have the internet.

 

I lived my entire childhood with out a computer in the house.  I lived many years without cable or even just local stations.  I survived and so did my sons, Jarrid and Zeth.

 

The internet connects people all over the world.  People from years and years ago pop up and say “hello old friend.”  Sometimes that is a good thing, other times, not so much. 

What I find to be super satisfying is meeting new people. 

That is the beauty of the internet!

The Most Epic Fancy Friday Ever

By: Thomas E. Delphi  York College of PA

Attention! FANCY FRIDAY WILL GO GLOBAL!
I want to invite people from every continent on the face of the planet! THE FANCY UPRISING HAS BEGUN, HEIL DRESS PAN-… Ahem…allow me to explain.
Fancy Friday is a small holliday started in York College of Pennsylvania. Every F…riday, particpants, men and women both young and old, will elect to dress well for the day, changing polos and t-shirts for suits and dresses, dress shoes and heels. Casual Wear, barring work requirements, is considered unacceptible. If you DON’T like the idea of Fancy Friday, that’s fine, you don’t need to participate.
If you like the idea, act and dress well on March 9th and perform the following:
On Friday, March 9th, I would like at least one participant from each of the following regions of the Planet: East Asia (China, Japan, Korea), West Asia (The Middle East), South Asia (India to Iran), South East Asia (Vietnam to the Phillipines), Central Asia (Kazakhstan!), North Asia (East Russia), North Africa, Central Africa, South Africa, West Europe, East Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, South America, Central America & the Carribean, North America and Oceana.
I would like everyone who participates around the world to post a picture of themselves in their Fancy Friday attire onto Facebook. As such, I would hope everyone I invite to participate will pass on the invitation to their friends and post this event to their Facebook feed.
Stay classy kids and lets make this happen!

Who is smart?!

John doesn’t read email and Heather doesn’t know how to open email. (yeah ok)  I would have believed it if she said “I can’t spell.”

 

LaDonna is on her honeymoon and John had to work today.  I’m surprised the world didn’t end….  Yes, John worked on a job!  Maybe he short on employees…I hope the job went better than some of the more recent ones.

 

Maybe my son is smarter than me, as John said to my face tonight.  Jarrid realized what a piece of —- John was way before I did.

Really, for not reading my blog or his emails, John sure knows what’s going on in my life.  John is just as obsessed with me now as the day he met me.  Sorry it didn’t work out.  Actually, I’m not sorry.  Thank God I got away.

Furthermore,  it’s sad that Tesla has to ride home in a work truck (must smell like stinky men) just because her dad has control issues and won’t let her ride with her cousin, Blaine and me.  Blaine and Tesla were in different gymnastic classes so they didn’t even get to talk.  The ride to back to her dad’s would have given them 10-15 minutes to chat.  But, no.  Daddy can’t let Tesla talk to her family.

 

Even though Tesla was in tears because she couldn’t ride with her mom, John didn’t care.  Of course he will blame it on me, saying I upset Tesla.  The child misses her mother but obviously her father and his current girlfriend don’t care.  Heather, you make me laugh when you tell people there is never a dull moment.  No shit, you signed up for it.  I almost can’t wait for your divorce and my divorce to go through.  Why?  Too see if the two of you actually get married.  Baaahaaaaahaaaaaa!  You know he is all yours!  I bet Dale and I marry before the two of you, because Dale is SINGLE and waiting to marry me!

 

Oh….I will never sign a divorce agreement that doesn’t completely remove my name from every document that currently holds John and I together.  So NO Heather, I won’t be signing off my house to you.  I realize that is your goal.

There should be NO reason Tesla can not go home with me right after school on Friday.  I will be at the school volunteering and Eastern has an dismissal making it much easier for her and I to be on our way after the school day.

Bullshit as usual,

Definition of Looner

Now that is a big balloon!

What is a “looner?”

That’s what I will be researching!

Wikipedia’s definition:

A balloon fetish is a sexual fetish that involves balloons. A balloon fetishist is also referred to as a “looner.” Some balloon fetishists “revel in the popping of balloons and [others] may become anxious and tearful at the very thought of popping balloons”. Others enjoy blowing up balloons or sitting and lying on them.

 

Very interesting topic to research.  Keep an eye out for posting as I do my research.

If you are a Looner and would like to be interviewed please email me at pcrider@ycp.edu.  Put Looner in the subject line of the email.

Thank you!

You know Emily?  I saw Emily!

More people than I can imagine saw that 4 year old bitch.

She’s from Dayville, Conneticut.

Acting all high and mighty!

Emily you have a long stupid name that makes no sense.

Damn girl, you looked fantastic taking “Best in Show” at the Westminster Dog Show 2012.

Even more impressive is you just gave birth to fifteen pups.

You go bitch!

P.S. Congrats to Emily’s owner and handler.  Beautiful Irishsetter! 

College with your kid

Imagine my surprise when Jarrid told me Thursday he was coming to visit me on Sunday.  Since when does he give me notice?!  🙂

We had lunch at my home and engaged in a deep conversation about the universe, God, the Mayan calendar, supernovas, and more.  During this conversation, Jarrid brings up that he has been really thinking about going to college.  He talked about getting a degree in graphic design and I told him about classes I’ve already taken in design.  It’s one of those conversations parents dream of having with their child.  Jarrid has come to realize he didn’t apply himself in high school and now as an adult wants to further his education.  Good for him!

After lunch we went to my parents house.  Dale, Jarrid, my mom and I all played cards.  Dale and I kicked their butts.  😉  Jarrid talked to my dad (who was surprisingly pleasant) about Zeth who has signed up for active duty in the Army after graduating this year.  I brought up Jarrid’s interest in attending college and my parents were happy to hear he wants to enter college.

On the way home we stopped at my sister’s home.  Her and Sam are both sick so we didn’t stay long.  Tesla finally called and talked to Jarrid and Blaine.  Tesla and Blaine are taking gymnastics together tomorrow.

Finally back to my home and Jarrid began asking me all types of questions about York College.  I was happy to share my opinion of YCP ranging from the campus, professors, courses and how to apply.  I told him to look online at the college website while we were sitting around talking about it.  Jarrid looked at the majors offered and said, “I’m going to apply here.”

“Really?” I asked.

“Yeah, I’m starting the application now.”

I can’t put into words how happy I  would be having Jarrid attend YCP.  Actually, when Jarrid told Tesla, she said, “That’s awesome Jarrid!  You can go to school with mom!  I’m going to go to school there too!”

How freaking cute is that?!?!

Jarrid applied tonight and is going to his high school to get the records transfered tomorrow.  I’m proud of him for taking the first step in improving his future.  I also think it’s wonderful he wants to attend the same school as his mom.

Cross your fingers for Jarrid to start in the Fall term!

Rape, Aggression, Defense

Ready to kick ass

Ever get that gut feeling you are being watched?

How can you lower your chances of being attacked?

Do you know what to do if you are attacked?

York College of PA is offering a free self-defense course to all female students. The Rape Aggression Defense System is a program of realistic self-defense tactics and techniques for women. This system is a comprehensive, women-only course that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training.

The class includes self-defense techniques including defensive stances, punches, elbow and knee strikes, kicks, breaking chokes and holds and ground defense. The final day includes simulation scenarios where you can test your new skills on campus safety officers playing the part of aggressors. This is a perfect opportunity to vent any anger over parking tickets.

The courses are taught by nationally certified R.A.D. instructors and provide each student with a workbook/reference manual. This manual outlines the entire Physical Defense Program for reference and continuous personal growth, and is the key to our free lifetime return and practice policy for R.A.D.

Thursday, February 16th 6-9 PM

Friday, February 17th 6-9 PM

Saturday, February 18th 12-3 PM

Sunday, February 19th 12-3 PM

Once the course is completed each female student gets a R.A.D. t-shirt to wear around campus!

Interested in taking the R.A.D. System self-defense class, contact the campus safety office at 815-1403 or stop by in person in Manor Northeast.

Be prepared,
