We've Got Snow!

We've got snow! Maybe I'll post some pics later... if the snow starts sticking in the trees. It was mostly powder when I was coming in to work. Here's some accuweather.com yummy-ness for you:

MIAMI: PASSENGER SHOT DEAD AFTER THREAT

Anyone wanna guess where I found this crazy example of the daily life down in FL?

If you're thinking of marrying

Via World Net Daily

1. Is the person your best friend or at least becoming so?
This is probably the single most overlooked question among couples, especially young ones.

2. Aside from sex, do you enjoy each other?
This sounds trite, but enjoying each other may actually be the single most important characteristic of a happy marriage.

3. Is there chemistry between the two of you?
As essential as being best friends and enjoying each other are, there should be a physical component to your relationship. Dating for marriage is not an interview for a platonic best friend. Nearly always, a woman who dates a man who meets the criteria listed here can grow to find him sexually attractive. If that were not the case, the majority of men would never attract a woman. There are very few men who turn heads. Most men become physically attractive to a woman thanks to other masculine qualities they possess.

4. Does the person have a number of good friends and at least one very close friend of the same sex?
It is a bad sign if the person you are thinking of marrying does not have good friends (including of long duration) of the same sex. Something is very wrong. This alone should rule out the person from consideration. A woman who cannot hold female friends and a man who cannot hold male friends have issues that will probably sink your marriage.

5. How does the person treat others?
Watch how he or she treats waitresses, employees, family members and anyone else he/she comes into contact with. I promise you how the person treats others now is how this person will treat you later.

Here's a linky to the first 5 questions and answers: If you're thinking of marrying, part 1

Thanks to Fark.com I now have something to show off this coming 4th of July!

Words cannot begin to describe the awesome eruption that is created from adding Mentos candies to a 2-liter bottle of soda. The eruption is enormous...

See the party video.

Madly in love? It'll pass soon enough

In Cutting Edge

Molecules that spawn powerful love emotions decrease after a year, researchers say.

Idiots! That's not love. Not even close. This is LUST/INFATUATION. This is what people think "love" feels like. But love isn't a feeling. It's a choice, an action. Not something you can fall into for a year and then poof it's gone. *shakes head

I got bored/inspired friday morning.

WFTV.com - News - Man Arrested After Puppy Found Buried Alive In Yard: "ST. CLOUD, Fla. -- An anonymous tip led animal control officers to a shocking case of animal cruelty. A puppy was found buried alive in a yard near New York Avenue and 192 in St. Cloud. Osceola County Animal Control said they had never seen anything like this."

They are crazy down there in Florida.

Microsoft to Mac users: Ditch Explorer

...doing a search for the words "msn explorer mac" and seeing msn.com as the second item, with this text: "If you are using Internet Explorer for Mac, we recommend that you use another browser to have an optimal experience on MSN."

Interesting.... ;)

Now that's HOT! ;)

This is always the hardest part of a post...

...that and the fact that spelling is involved to some degree or another. :\

Anywho, my friends from Canada and England have made it here ok. Now my brother just needs to make it through Atlanta in a few days. Then we can have a big old party on the plaza! A fun time will be had by all as long as it doesn't rain!

Foreign Girlfriends

I was asked today why I had not commented on my blog about my two "Foreign Girlfriends" who, along with their husbands, are coming to Kansas City over the Thanksgiving holiday. I guess I hadn't thought it important to let the world wide web know that I'll soon be facing an extensive anle probe from two different directions at the same time. I mean who really wants to know that I'll be getting twice the grief for never having asked a girl to be my girlfriend? Well, now that I've given it some thought, perhaps you would like to join in on the fun. Three, four, five times the grief... whew! It's a crazy world we live in. Perhaps even now the girls are trading email, or perhaps psychick mind communications planing strategy's to "help" me achieve the same marital bliss that they have, and I should have, according to them, long ago, been blessed with. Now these girls are not afrade to tell me how it is. No sir, they won't beat around the bush (they will beat me upside the head with reckless abandon though). I'm sure to get it from both barrels as they never miss a shot.

Ah well, so goes the life of the single man who's not about to let himself end up with the next not so attractive completly desperate girl who comes along. ;)

That's Florida For You

I don't know what's crazier. A woman riding a horse around Jacksonville or the dipstick who stabbed the horse at a gas station. I found this via Fark.
