Future Repair Man

Whatcha doin Grandpa? I think I need to check this out Can I help? Move grandpa... I fix it! This was a post I saved to draft back in November because I didn't have the camera at the time... oh well better late than never;D Jayden is a Curious George he has to see how everything works & he likes to help. His helping doesn't bother me at all (that's how kids learn & I think I can be a bit of a Curious George as well) Grandpa get's a bit frustrated at times because he just wants to get the job done. These pictures are of Grandpa Joe & Jayden fixing Emmie's washing machine and the captions are pretty much what Jayden said.

Anyone Else?

I was looking back at past posts (admiring my new background) when I noticed some new comments...I was totally surprised that one was from Jesse:) I didn't know he checked out the family blogs, let alone mine, anyone else out there reading? Wish that Jesse or Jen would start blogging. I'd love to see & read more about Atticus. I have really enjoyed Bethany's & Jessica's posts about all the funny things their kids do. I wish Jeanette & Katherine would blog as well & while I'm wishing I might as well wish big so here goes... I wish Stephanie, Tony, Landon, Emmie, Derek, Dad & Jan & Aunt Lois would blog too & that Linda would start blogging again, that would be a good New Years Resolution for any of the aforementioned, just in case they might be reading;)

New Look

I guess I better add a new post to go with my new background:) I finally got brave & decided to try something new. The hardest part was trying to get rid of the pyzam link at the top of my blog...I never did succeed but I did manage to change the wording from Pyzam to One Cute Blog. I tried to make it link but no luck. Oh well at least the credit goes to the right place now.

Layout

Why doesn't my published post ever look like I want it to? Specifically paragraphs are never spaced how I want them... for example in my previous post I ended up using different colors for nearly every paragraph because I couldn't get it right. I know this probably has to do with Html but that is an area I know next to knothing about... I guess I need to learn because I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to that kind of stuff & not having things look the way I want them to DRIVES ME CRAZY!!! So I'm sure I will be spending some time in the near future figuring this out. That's how I've learned everything else computerwise (online research a couple of books & alot of trial & error:0 Any tips would be appreciated;)

Prop 8

Okay today I got an email from Debra Mansfield (Lady at church) stating some things you can do to support prop 8 & this one wasn't at all painful (not making phone calls or knocking on doors) just watch You Tube videos that are pro prop 8. Share, rate & comment on them so they will be spotlighted because only Anti prop 8 ones are being spotlighted. I guess the more you watch, share, rate & comment the better. These are considered favorites & are spotlighted. So here is my original comment in yellow type but it was 170 characters over so I had to edit, my condensed version follows in purple type its amazing how many characters you can save with deleting nearly all the punctuation. What I want to know is why can't a gay union be called something besides marriage? Marriage is a word. Why shouldn't the definition of "marriage" be "The legal union of a man and woman as husband and wife." I'm sure someone can come up with a word for "The legal union of a man and man as husband and husband" & another word for "The legal union of a woman and woman as wife and wife"... that way there would be no confusion, we would know exactly what the union consists of because like it or not these unions are different, we still call a male a man & a female a woman even after equal rights laws so why can't we come up with different words for different unions? Why cant a gay union be called a different word Why marriage? Marriage is just a word It is defined as The legal union of a man & woman as husband & wife Be Precise, Clarify A word can be created for The legal union of a man & man as husband & husband & a word for The legal union of a woman & woman as wife & wife Like it or not these unions are all different We still call a male a man & a female a woman after equal rights laws passed so why not have different words for different unions?To Easy? I hope it's still understandable...so anyway pass it on. Our church leaders have asked us to: "Do your part to help with this Please watch, rate, and share these videos. In the next few days, there will be more. Return regularly to watch, rate and share the new videos as they become available. The more we watch, rate, and share, the more the positive story will be heard!" And you don't even half to live in CAlif you make a difference just watch You Tube :)

Oh Look! A Naked Man On The Roof!!!

Did that get your attention? It got mine, Ah another peaceful Friday night in beautiful Oxnard, gotta love it. So here's the details, Joe & I had just gone to bed after some late night T.V., we were just nodding off when the dogs started going nuts. I figured it was like the last time they went off (a cat in the yard) but they kept barking. Joe decided he better go investigate so he grabbed his flashlight & went outside, the next thing I heard was Joe's dad on the phone to the police saying there was a naked man on the roof of his motor home. Ok I guess I'll get up & see what's going on in the yard, Sure enough there was a Half naked man(He had a shirt on) walking back & forth on the roof of the RV, I retreated to the living room where I could watch on the surveillance camera. Joe came back inside as soon as the sheriffs pulled up outside the gate, in the past they were usually here to haul him off to jail, so I guess I can see why he didn't want to go hang out with them. This is what the naked guy told Joe: he had just gotten paid & was coming out of the convenience store on the corner when he got jumped by a bunch of homeboys, they took his money & his pants & then beat him up pretty bad. Joe said from what he could see from the ground the guy was all bloody, he was really drunk too. He said he wasn't from around here & I'm guessing he wasn't because he would know better than to be a white boy out alone late at night cashing his check in this neighborhood. I don't know how he got on the roof but it made for an interesting night, it's way past my bedtime...good thing I don't have any little kids so I can sleep in, unless the dogs find something to bark at again. Sorry I couldn't find my camera to take a picture you will just have to use your imagination;)
