Continuing on with my theme about towns with really weird names..today’s town is Intercourse, Pennsylvania.I don’t know which genius came up with this name for the town but again,I can’t imagine living in a town called Intercourse.I’d be too embarassed to tell anyone where I lived.And yep,you guessed right,Intercourse sign posts are frequently targeted by thieves.
I can’t figure out whats worse..living in Fucking,Austria or Intercourse, Pennsylvania….
Imagine if people asked you where you lived and you said “Fucking, Austria”.They’d think you’re either joking or a pervert.But there is a town called Fucking in Austria.Its pronounced as “fooking”.
According to Wikipedia,”….Fucking’s most famous feature is a traffic sign with its name on it, beside which English-speaking tourists often stop to have their photograph taken. It is a commonly stolen street sign…”,geez I wonder why anyone would want to steal the “Fucking” street sign.
People amaze me.Seriously.If you’ve got a brain and you spot this sign,you know it means no cell phone use allowed in that area.Surprisingly very,very few people actually pay attention to signs like this one…
I was at the courthouse in Dekalb county and this “no cell phone use allowed” sign was posted on the door…right on the door.The bailiff even went as far as giving us a “talk” about how we should all turn off our cell phones.The courtroom rules are simple-no cell phone allowed,not even on vibrate.All cell phones must be turned completely off before you enter the courtroom.If you don’t turn your phone off and it rings or beeps,you not only get thrown out of the courtroom but your cell phone gets confisticated and never returned.
This one lady apparently felt like she was above the law because she decided to enter the courtroom without turning off her cell phone.Halfway through the proceedings,her cell phone started ringing..ofcourse the bailiff walked over to her and confisticated the phone and what does this lady say?”Give me back my phone..thats my phone…you have no right to take it from me”.She then went on to claim racial profiling.
I hate when people use race as an excuse for their stupidity but thats a whole different topic I’ll spare for some other time.I just wanted to grab that woman by her hand,march her to the door of the courtroom,point to the sign on the door and tell her…this sign means no cell phone use allowed you dummy……
I’m all for hugging but this looks a bit….gay.
Thats Nelly hugging P.Diddy.
They are both rappers.
They are both straight.
They both have girlfriends.Diddy even has kids.
But this picture raises a few eyebrows especially seeing as both have had gay rumors follow them through out their careers — come to think about it,which entertainer hasn’t?
The sad thing is if it were two chicks hugging like that,it’d be considered hot and cute.Talk about double standards.Again,I’m all for hugging and there really is nothing with a little manly love but you’ve gotta admit,this picture is a little bit gay.
I love people who think outside the box.
I admire people who dare to be different and creative and a little bit risque just to stand out from the crowd and really grab your attention..like the people who made this post card:
I got the post card above in my mail.Its a bit crumpled because I get way too much junk in the mail and I was just about to toss it along with all the other junk in the trash when I noticed the text…seriously,it wasn’t the girl who caught my eye..she’s okay but the text really grabbed my attention.The post card is very original.
Lawn service ads are usually plain and boring and every line is a hard sell.Not this one.Whomever is in charge of the “Mr.Turf” advertising budget and campaign deserves a raise.The post card is simple and very,very creative.The text is a very soft sell.Its not aggressive,its funny,its catchy and most importantly its memorable.Its the kind of post card you want to show off to your friends because its unique…imagine all the free advertising and exposure “Mr.Turf” is getting from just this one simple postcard.
I’ve shared it with you and on a forum I frequent thats got over 10,000 members…they’ve probably shared the picture with some of their friends.My neighbors definitely got this in their mailboxes too.Now,if they are anything like me,they too thought it was too cute and funny and creative that they showed it to their friends,who then showed it to their friends….and so on and so on.Do the math.”Mr.Tuff” is getting so much free exposure for his business!Now if that exposure results in more business…”Mr.Tuff” will be one very wealthy man…all because he dared to think outside the box!
Ever since my little dude turned 2,I’ve been bombarded with questions from family,friends and even strangers about when I’m going to have another baby.Its like there is some unwritten rule that once your first child turns 2,you’re supposed to go out and immediately create another one.I guess someone – thankfully- forgot to send me that memo.
I had a tough time with my first pregnancy.The bathroom and I became bestfriends.I’ll spare you the gross details but I’ll say this,while most women are lucky and never have to deal with morning sickness after their first trimester,I wasn’t lucky at all.I spent 9 whole months dealing with morning sickness,afternoon sickness and night sickness.I was sick 24/7 for nine freaking months.Now I bet you’re starting to get a clear picture as to why I’m not exactly rushing into popping out baby number 2.
I may have been sick for the entire pregnancy but I thankfully didn’t need to be put on bed rest and at the end of it all,my hubby and I got this really handsome,healthy and extremely active baby boy that made all that sickness and the swollen ankles worth it.
He’s a big boy now and thinks he’s got the world figured out.Its interesting to watch him learn and discover new stuff every single day.I now know for a fact that that cliche about being given a new lease on life is true…watching your child grow up,watching them try something new for the first time,watching them learn a new word or game,watching them perfecting something as simple as peddling a bike and all that other good stuff is truly like being given a chance to live life all over again.And there in lies the beauty of having a child.
So,to everyone thats asking me when I’m going to pop out another baby,I say..don’t rush me.Don’t put unnecessary pressure on me.I’m still way too busy enjoying my time with the little dude.There is so much ground him and I still have to cover and I want to take my time and enjoy every adventure with him.I want both of us to have plenty of good memories about this time together.I want him to have my undivided attention.And if some day he asks me why he’s an only child..I’ll gladly tell him….
I could have had another baby but why mess with perfection…..
Some girls are addicted to shoes,some to clothes,others to food (yes,I went there),some are addicted to make-up,others to purses and then there are girls like me who love perfumes.I don’t know how many bottles of perfume I have but I just keep collecting more and more.
My favorite perfume at the moment is GOLDEN GODDESS by Kimora Lee Simmons.Regardless of how you personally feel about Kimora,this is a must have for every girl out there.Kimora got it right with this scent.I’m a bit pissed I didn’t find out about it until just recently when I went shopping at North Point Mall in Alpharetta,GA but I’m glad I found it.
Golden goddess is Kimora’s second fragrance.The strange thing is the first one,called Goddess actually sucks in my opinion.But the second one,Golden goddess totally rocks.Its feminine,its sweet,it isn’t overpowering,its classy,it oozes style and sophistication.I could go on and on about this perfume because it is really the best scent I’ve come across in the past 5 years!
Oh yeah,you can get it for about $55 bucks at the mall or you can get it from amazon for about $38
Guys,next time you’re trying to figure out what to get that special lady in your life..dazzle her with the golden goddess fragrance..or ladies if you just feel like treating yourselves to a little something nice,this is the perfect treat…go ahead,treat yourself to a bottle of this amazing scent,you do deserve to feel (and smell) like a golden goddess.
