My Great Achievement

I didn't want to go to bed today without sharing one of my great, Greatest achievement.. . . 

Guess what? for 10 years I been patiently collecting the commemorative quarters and TODAY finally finish my collection, few days ago I had only 3 more coins to go, and Friday I got what I thought it was the last coin, Ironic it was Utah, but I started to think: "would they make a coin for Puerto Rico?" I guess what? they did and I got it, I finish my collection, I feel very proud of myself, that and the fact that I got Samantha to wear earrings. 

Read more about my beloved collection on this link http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/50sq_program/index.cfm?action=schedule

She's nice and cuddly

So we finally kept Molly, little less than a pound Molly, she likes to dress up, and sleeps on her back, cute, she runs like the wind, and loves to play with Oddie

But if you wake her up, or try to remove her from her mommy's arms this is what you get....... .......

4:20 or 4/20 ????

Ok this is out of my character but me.. being a hippie,  YES I SAID IT "I'M A HIPPIE", should have known this long time ago, well I just find out what the 4:20 means. . ..  ..  . 

BEFORE I START PLEASE KNOW I DON'T SMOKE ANYTHING, so here it goes:

There are varying theories on the origin of 420. Some say that 420 originated from a police code that announces marijuana use is taking place. Yet another story is that a group of guys (Waldo's) in the 1970's made 4:20 their official meeting time to smoke marijuana after school. Whether or not 4:20 p.m. is the best time of day for your first hit depends on your own body. Some folks feel that waiting until 4:20 enhances ones appreciation of the herb. Of course, your mileage may vary.

In the 21st Century, 420 is firmly established as a code amongst tokers, a time of day and even sort of a toker's New Year's Day. It's in our culture now and only time will tell where it ends up.

April 20th (4/20) is another usage, meaning that it is time for to plant before the summer.

Whatever the real story is, 420 has been an important part of the marijuana culture since the 1970's. The significance of 420 has been kept underground and is mostly known only among marijuana smokers. Many non-smokers aren't aware of the symbolism when they see someone wearing a T-shirt or baseball cap that says 420 across the front.  

While some marijuana smokers are using 420 as a code that enables them to openly speak about marijuana in front of parents or teachers. 420 has been to some, a sacred symbol for nearly 30 years.

Simply put, 420 is a symbol of cannabis and its culture. Today, April 20th events are international, and 4:20 pm has become sort of a world wide "burn time". 

Known 420 Myths

Police dispatch code for smoking pot is 420.
The number 420 is not police radio code for anything, anywhere. Checks of criminal codes suggest that the origin is neither Californian nor federal. For instance, California Penal Code 420 defines as a misdemeanor the hindrance of use of public lands.

There are approximately 420 active chemicals in marijuana. 
Actually, there are approximately 315 active chemicals in marijuana. This number goes up and down depending on which plant is used.

April 20th is National Pot Smokers Day.
Well, it is now :) ; but that wasn't the origin.

April 20th is Hitler's birthday.
Yes, it is his birthday. But, as 420 started out as a time, not a date, his birthday had nothing to do with it.

The date of the Columbine school shootings.
This happened after the term was already in use.

4:20 is tea time for pot-smokers in Holland.
Tea time in Holland is at 5:30 pm, or is it 2:30 pm? Seems no one is quite sure when the wonderful people of Holland drink their tea 

Here you have it this is what 420 means

I am not dead

I'm so sorry i haven't been posting here, I guess life got busy.... Just a little.

But I will come up with something tonight and by tomorrow I'll be posting my thoughts...

Thanks all

Molly

How can you say no to this face, tell me?, How can you resist those bitty eyes and that fussy face?. 

You just can't, so guess what? I think we have a new puppy, she is a Yorkie Poodle (poky, or a Yoddle) :D lol

she is 8 weeks old, and runs like she is in fire, barks at everything, but me, and Walt name her Molly. 

I just wonder what happen with the "If you name it, You Own it"  motto he used to have?

 I think he just couldn't resist the face, Sam loves her, but she follows me. . . go figure.

I Now Declare You Human

Oh please! tell me if you never been bit by a dog..., I mean is like a "Rite of Passage" You have to get bit by a dog in order to become a true human, Everybody I know has been bit by some dog, a Friend's, family's, neighbor's, own dog, it's needed, even expected of a person to go through this. 

It's like chicken pox or the flu, once in you life time we had it.

Well last Saturday was Steven's turn, he ended up with 2 punctures on the back of his hand and 2 stitches on his palm.

It Was the neighbor's dog a 5 months old Labrador mix, (if you ask me it look more like a mix of

 everything else but Labrador), and the

 story goes, that Steven saw the dog wagging his tail at him and he went to pet him, the dog snapped and bit him on his hand, the end.

After spending hours in the hospital he just got 2 stitches and a pain killer, "Have to see the Dr. on Tuesday" they said. 

At the pediatrician's office he got one stitch removed because it needed to release the stuff that was accumulating under the skin, and there he got his tetanus shot, they couldn't give him that

 at the hospital... ? ? ?

Now we have another issue, the dog didn't have any shoots, so (Listen to this)  they quarantine the dog AND if the dog get sick I have to take Steven to the Dr's for his rabies shoots, but ONLY if the dog gets sick, and I'm pretty sure it will, Steven is not the cleanest kid in the block,I wouldn't bite him. :D

If you are wondering about the dog? , he is fine, pretty scare at the pound, but so far he is OK he'll be released on the 14th if, he doesn't get sick. 

Steven had been release to the wild already, (but he keeps coming back) and officially, he's human. (that's a relief) 

So that's the story, and I'm sticking to it. . .  lol

Peanut Allergy

OK, the only way your body develops immunities is by exposing it to it. What do you think vaccines are?

When Samantha was born I expose her to everything, being outdoors indoors, cats, dogs and all kind of foods. I was very worry about her being asthmatic or having allergies just like Walt, so I went and help her develop her immunities. 

The only time I was very worry, for a moment, was the day she stole a popcorn shrimp from me, Walt is allergic to it, so Sam has a 50/50 chance she would be but 2 minutes later she came and took another one, and so on until she finish my meal, now, like her mama, she loves shrimps. 

I'm glad that is out of the way; but every day I worry about those children severely allergic to peanuts, like the smell alone get them sick, I don't worry about what I eat but I worry when I eat something near a child I'm don't want to get them sick, so today I saw this on the news and I want to pass it along it may help someone out there who is allergic to peanuts.

A Great Accomplishment

Guess what? After one month and a half I finish "The Host", Yeah the host, remember one of the books by Stephenie Meyers. Well, I finish after staring the book twice because it was to complicated for me; so I took an hour every night after kids where in bed and hubby was fast asleep to get my flashlight and read this book, half way through the book I needed to read more just to find out what would happen if:. . . You know Stephenie she does that to you, that's why WE ALL read the Twilight series in a month. I recommend it, I just can handle the cover just creeps me out.

ECONOMIC STIMULUS PAYMENT

This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment This is a very exciting new program that I wil explain using the Q and A format:

Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment? 
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

Q. Where will the government get this money? 
A. From taxpayers.

Q. So the government is giving me back my own money? 
A. Only a smidgen.

Q. What is the purpose of this payment? 
A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China? 
A. Shut up.

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:

• If you spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.
• If you spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.
• If you purchase a computer it will go to India.
•  If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala (unless you buy organic). 
• If you buy a car it will go to Japan. 
• If you purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan.

And none of it will help the American economy.

We need to keep that money here in America. You can keep the money in America by spending it at yard sales, going to a baseball game, or spend it on prostitutes, beer (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses still in the US.
