So we went out to IHOPs for lunch today since we had some shopping to do. While we were there a couple with their daughter who looked a couple of months younger then Desmond was seated next to us. So figure a little girl around 13 months old. Dan and I both sitting there dealing with Desmond when we heard the little girl’s mother say, “Don’t hit” and then we heard the mother hit the little girl and continue with, “See it hurts.” She did it about 3 times. Neither of us said anything because we really didn’t want to deal with it and Desmond was almost done eating.

When we got back into the car though we both looked at each other and asked, “Did you hear that woman and her don’t hit, slap thing?” Neither of us could understand how she possible thought hitting her child after her child had hit her was teaching the child not to hit. Let alone the fact that at 13 months distraction is about the only thing that works anyways. We were just boggling at the mind that thought hitting the child back, was the correct way to teach the child not to hit. It seemed more like reinforcement to both of us.

I just don’t get people some times.

Thank goodness men landed on the moon in 1969; I watched it on tv. It is certainly true that man will become so clever that he will destroy himself. I wanted to work for Nasa when I was a child. Sometimes I convulse and I think the British Government have put something in my body to tag me. I used to have a security tag in my left ankle on the outside part of my leg. It was removed at Christmas 1968 when my father was still alive. I was told to put my feet in the oven at 18 Pitmansfield Harlow Essex and warm my feet up. Then I laid down beside the fire and I was with my fiance Paul Maliszewski (his father was Marion Maliszewski from Poland – he escaped in the second world war on a motorbike and he was from Warsaw. He was a school caretaker at Churchgate Street School in Old Harlow Essex when I married Paul Maliszewski in 1969. Marion Maliszewski died of a massive heart attack at Epping Hospital after suffering a heart attack at Somerfield (Summerwood?) School Harlow Essex and he was almost due to retire.

He was a lovely man. After the removal of my tag which used to show a bump in my ankle, I woke up with a huge blister on my ankle and still have a circular scar. My father was then taken to hospital and put in an oxygen tent at Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow Essex. Strange things began to happen in our family and then he fled to Merthyr Tydfil and died suddenly. Sometimes I convulse violently. There are too many spies on the Earth with low IQ’s!

I don’t know what this one was drinking or smoking, but I know I don’t want any. People scare me.

Twits suck and Jeri and Decoy are huge twits.

(Random outburst I know, ignore if you don’t have a clue what i’m talking about)

This may sound extremely dumb!! But I had this dream were rita could actually be stopped. I have very limited knowledge about hurricanes, but I?ve been reading a little and I understand my dream could be possible. If hurricanes are formed by the exchange between hot and cool air, then cooling or warming the air around should help slowing it down, right? In my dream a few hundred missiles were launched and formed a huge explosion warming the air near the top eye part of the hurricane which actually slowed down an eventually stopped it. Is this totally crazy? I know how this sounds and also that this would be very unlikely to work, I was just wondering if there is at least a tiny sense in this, could it work for a tornado perhaps??

And people wonder why I worry about the state of education in the US…

So Hubby works somewhere where he gets a lot of interesting e-mail especially about ways to stop natural disaster type things. Anyways today he got the following two e-mails:

Would it be possible to drop a bomb, especially a thermal bomb, in the eye of the storm, thus disrupting the flow pattern and destroying the hurricane? I was wondering if such an idea has ever been analyzed or tried before. Could this therory be also used on tornatos, or, are they sustained differently.

He gets the e-mail about bombing hurricanes everytime one hits the US. It is rather amusing how many people come up with this idea.

my idea is to create a machine that can slow down the hurricaine. this machine is like a fan, maybe we could disassemble a helicopter, or a few, and i guess flip the propellor over so instead of lifting the helicoptor, it would be pushing air away. now what if we were to channel that air into a finer stream…and punch several holes into the clouds that make the hurricaine. would this slow the hurricaine down?

As my hubby said, Why didn’t we thinkg of this before? We can stop hurricanes and typhoons with a GIANT FAN!!!!

Okay so I am a member of a messageboard for various games I like. On one of these boards there are a ton of teenagers. There are some older people in their twenties etc. The majority is probably in the 15 to 20 range.

Anyways with teenagers you tend to get a higher concentration of idiots. Unfortunately it seems a sterotype, but I have noticed it to be true. Anyways there is a girl in the community and we’ll call her Purple Duck (names changed to protect the idiots). Anyways most people in the community think she is a twit, she has done numerous twitish things.

So Purple Duck decides she doesn’t like her reputation and creates a new allias which we’ll call InluvwGerard. Now InluvwGerard fairly quickly makes it obvious that she is Purple Duck. Let’s be honest it is really hard to mask yourself and pretend to be someone else. Normally you are found out.

And she isn’t very good at. So in AIM Chat we unmask her and point out that Purple Duck and InluvwGerard are using the same IP at the same time. Since she isn’t very smart, and they claim not to know each other she can’t even claim they are in the same house and sisters. So we tell her we know who she is. She gets affronted and attempts to claim otherwise, those of us that have at least a basic bit of intellegence laugh at her (I’m mean so shoot me).

Anyways I mention a number of new names she can come back as when she creates a new persona for her multiple personalities the next day. Fast forward to this morning. First InluvwGerard has posted she is leaving the community last night. This morning there is a new post from a new person we’ll call Hillary. Hillary posts and I feel the need to check between her and InluvwGerard off her first three posts. And shock they have the same IP.

Hillary also comes into the chat room, where me and another person who we’ll call hanger are. She attempts to be a new person. Both of us knowing better, play with her for awhile. So I am now the grandmother of hanger. It is nice to have a granddaughter before I’ve had any spawns.

I don’t know who she is trying to fool, but it obviously isn’t working. I still find it amusing though and I am having fun making fun of her multiple personality problem (yes I have fun making fun of 15 year old girls, we all have our vices).
