What Color is Today?

Milo has been predicting the earthquake we had earlier this morning for two years! He would walk around the house looking out the windows meowing.  The 4.3 quake has been downgraded to only a 3.8.  I bet if this was on the east coast it would be closer to 5.5 but since it's in Illinois they downplay it and would rather talk about an upcoming snow storm (been there done that). 

Speaking of snow storms in Washington DC.  Seems many sidewalks are not being shoveled because residents think it is the cities responsibility to shovel the sidewalks.  Also there have been many complaints that when a person digs his car out from the street he feels THAT spot belongs to him now and no one else should park there.

Who wants in!!!  A Mr. Yan contacted me and has a proposition that "involves exportation of 35,000 barrels of oil daily from Kirkuk, Iraq." So if you have any spare barrels or something laying around the basement look for them tonight. Once I get enough people "in" on this I'll contact him asking what needs to be done next.

I don't know who he is but he called me "friend" so I must have talked to him at some point and don't want to let him down.

The opening of Mama Mia's Restaurant is on hold.  Seems mother and daughter were involved in a roll over accident in 151 Monday. This blog would love to help them out in someway to show support from the wonderful Columbus residents. Any ideas?

So what is all this wearing red thing. I now see ad's on TV touting red and how we should all wear red for the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women campaign. But if a person wears red does that mean they are dissing males? Like who cares about the men? it's all about woman?  And how long will this last. Are they going to just take over the color red?  What if I want to wear my red blue jeans but I DON'T want to support the woman but would like to support the men instead.

This is like rainbows and pink triangles. What if I LIKE rainbows and want one on the back of my car. Now I can't because the gays (not that there is anything wrong with it) have a copyright on pink triangles and rainbows! I bet this was something "for a day" and now it's like forever!

PINK!! We just had a breast awareness month or something didn't we? Now when I see a woman wearing pink should I come up to her and say "Excuse me, I am aware of your breasts".

HONK FOR PEACE - What if I HONK because you are in my freaking way with your stupid signs!  I want to run over all of those Honk for peace people - not that I'm anti peace but I'm anti noise pollution.  Does a LONG HONK mean you are REALLY for peace?  If I DON'T honk does that mean I'm anti peace?    

How about a Brown and Black polka dot shirt day showing support for Malignant Melanomas.

Caydance has her G-tube inserted today. Check out Jenny's blog - she duct taped Caydence's socks to her hands because she would keep taking off the socks and then would want to take out her feeding tube. NO MORE FEEDING TUBE!!!  YEA!!

Yet another use for duct take - taping socks to a babies hands!  Didn't see that one in the book.
