* Blogging from the house PC this morning. Why, you might ask? Because I'm off for the races for the next 6 days.
* It's not looking like the weather is going to cooperate with us this week. There are chances of rain all week and an even greater chance on Saturday.
* The homeowner did the right thing. If you think he is in the wrong, you don't need to be reading this blog. Find another one.
* I was taught at a very early age (believe it or not) that you suffer consequences for your actions. The child that was killed either never was taught that lesson, or didn't take it to heart. Nuff said.
* I was never in the Boy Scouts, but I know a couple of friends that have earned their Eagle Scout Award. I have attended two of their ceremonies. Neither accomplished what this Scout has.
* If you have never clicked on the Kill Some Time Here link over at the right, check out the short video on there now. Post Secret is a sometimes heart wrenching read.
* Another link that I find interesting is here. If you have ever lost a SD card, film or camera, it might be here!
* I think I might have stirred up a rats nest about the Rangers Facebook posting yesterday. I stand true to my thoughts. Facebook is not the place for that. Twitter, yes. Well maybe.
* Here is an example of what NOT to do on Facebook.
"I'm climbing out of bed"
"Check in at home"
"I'm slipping on my house shoes"
"I'm walking to the bathroom"
"I'm using the bathroom"
"I'm wiping my butt"
"I'm pulling up my pants"
"I'm washing my hands"
"I'm admiring myself in the mirror"
"Headed to the kitchen to make coffee/eggs/toast"
"I'm eating my breakfast/drinking my coffee"
"Getting ready for work"
"Wishing I didn't have to go to work"
"Headed to the car to go to work"
"I need my Starbucks fix"
"Checking in at Starbucks"
"I'm gonna be late if I don't hurry"
"At the RR tracks waiting on train"

"I'm washing my hands"
"Turning on the TV"
"Can't wait for the big game tonight"
"Cooking (insert gourmet meal here)"
"Game time, who's watching?"
"Did you see that hit/catch/pass/stop?"
"Absolutely the best meal I've ever made"
"Did you see that hit/catch/pass/stop?"
"Can't wait for a commercial, I need to go to the bathroom"
"I'm walking to the bathroom"
"I'm using the bathroom"
"I'm wiping my butt"
"I'm pulling up my pants"
"I'm washing my hands"
"What did I miss on the game?"
"Did you see that hit/catch/pass/stop?"
"Amazing win by (insert team name)"
"Cleaning up the dishes and loading the dishwasher"
"Jumping in the shower, BRB"
"Headed to bed with my sweetie. He/She is the bestest and works so hard"
"Checking in at my bed"
"Laid here two hours can't sleep"
"I can't sleep from thinking about that amazing game"
"Did you see that hit/catch/pass/stop by (insert amazing player here)?"
"I hate it when someone says they are my best friend and then I catch them lying"
"My stomach hurts. Possibly (insert gourmet food here) that I ate"
"I'm walking to the bathroom"
"I'm using the bathroom"
"I'm wiping my butt"
"I'm pulling up my pants"
"I'm washing my hands"
"Hey (insert old friends/college alumni/frat buddies/ex boyfriend/girlfriend/ex wife/husband here) don't forget the Reunion/Birthday Party/get together on (insert date here).
"Three hours till alarm goes off and I have only dozed off a few times"
"Alarms suck. Climbing out of bed"
"I'm walking to the bathroom"
"I'm using the bathroom"
"I'm wiping my butt"
"I'm pulling up my pants"
"I'm washing my hands"
"Checking in at the house"
Start back at the top and repeat......over and over and over and over and over......
* I see this every day on Facebook.
* So why don't I just NOT get on Facebook? I like it and it is a very good way to keep up with family and friends that live far enough away that I can't just see them every day or a few times a week. I have friends that don't like Facebook and refuse to get an account. I also have friends that I love to hear from and they have expressed to me that they like hearing about our lives also. For example: My extended family in Houston, Austin and Nacogdoches can see pictures and videos of the grandkids as they grow up because some of them can't travel here on a frequent basis.
* Facebook rant over.
* Today I go get the camper, pack it, get groceries and load the coolers in anticipation of an early arrival at Texas Motor Speedway tomorrow morning.
* Our stepson will be house sitting and dog sitting while we are away. He's packing heat so don't be caught doing what the 14 year old above was doing or you might end up with the same result.
* The next posts will be live from TMS.
* Have a great day, see ya Around The Corner!

Yeah, it's sad and stupid the way the whole thing went down. You want to side with the kids because they are just kids, but the truth is that you don't know how that would have ended for the homeowner had he not taken the action he did.
I can't stop laughing!!! Your Facebook rant is exactly why I cancelled my Facebook. People post too many irrelevant facts of their life, like we care that they just ordered a Starbucks or wiped their butt! You made my day!! Have fun at the races and enjoy your much deserved time off!
have a great time at the races
Might need to go to the gastro doctor--sounds like you have problems from the facebook post.
Facebook is retarded.
The "keeping up with old friends" argument doesn't hold water. If you really wanted to keep up with them, you would have stayed in touch these past years. I had over 300 "friends" on FB, most of whom I hadn't seen in years or I'd never actually met (so-and-so told me to friend you because they said you were funny). I realized that if I genuinely cared about someone I'd pick up the phone and call, text, or email. I went my entire life without knowing every detail of their lives and I couldn't come up with a reason why I needed to know now, simply because the information was made available.
Now Twitter on the other hand, 140 characters, no commitment. That's my kind of relationship.
Plus I have a blog if anyone really gives that much of a shit about me, they can find me there.
FB Rant = OVER!
How about people who post lists? BTW NOTHING is more annoying than trying to copy that Egyptian Sanskrit to prove I'm not a robot!
Thanks for the rant on FB. Most of the mentioned things are annoying to me also. That from the extended family in Iowa that was NOT mentioned in your post today. (He, He, He! Thought you would like that. :)~ )
Really wished I was there to go to the race on Saturday with you. Believe it or not, but I have started to like racing more and more. I guess I will have to eat crow over that one. Someday I will get to go and hear the cars as they go by. I assume the cousin who lives South and carries a gun is coming to join??
Please stay well this week and be safe. Have a good time and eat lots of good food. Love you guys bunches and really miss you.
W-Sister
Aunt Shayne....please do not turn to the dark side on me!! You were my favorite Aunt!!! Bahaha!!! Love you!!
LOL LOL LOL LOL to the facebook posts!!!! It totally made my day!!
OMG! I exclaimed while tossing my hair over my shoulder immediately followed with a bahaha with my mouth opened so wide you could see the hangy down thing. Then clutching my chest while I drew a breath for more hysterical laughter while everyone in the room is looking at me. And I know it won't be as funny to them so I wave it off and make the circular motion to my temple which is the international sign for crazy.
LOL! I am at whataburger getting something for lunch by the way just in case you thought you needed to know.....
I am at work now...just checking in. :)
Just got off the phone....gosh what a day ;)
Checking in at - Home. Wever, IA.
Just finished watching a Lifetime Movie. The acting is really bad!! But, I think I will watch another one for lack of anything else to do.
Gosh, I better take time to get dressed today, don't you think? Well, the hubby is out of town, so maybe not....
Just finished eating Cheetos and Funyuns for a snack.
Next I will eat a Planters Nut Snack Bar.
Thinking I might take a nap. But, then I will be called lazy. Who cares really.......
Check back in a few minutes and I will let you know if I got dressed or not.
Hehehehehehe!!!
Dude, you forgot the endless Buddhist quotes.
I agree with your opinion on the break-into-my-house-and-you're-gonna-get-shot matter. Damn bleeding hearts are why the whole world is going to piss.
...man, all of that FB talk made me cranky. Or perhaps it's that Egyptian give-me-tired-head business Mr. Answers alluded to....
