My friends call me Stripper

Diane and Rich, if you wanna know which friends. They said that my first name together with my middle name sounded like a stripper’s name. Or was it a porn star? I can’t remember. What I do remember is that the first time I told Diane my middle name, I got a big fat “LMAO.” It didn’t matter that I told her why I was named that.

But my parents didn’t just give me a funny name. My brother Wayne actually goes by his middle name, because his first name is Lecial (the pronunciation rhymes with Cecil). When he was very small and people asked him his name, he couldn’t pronounce it right, and it sounded like “Lisa.” So my parents decided to start calling him by his middle name, instead. But they had good intentions when naming him, just like they did with me. While they were still newlyweds and living in Chicago, they didn’t have a car, but being so young, they still wanted to go out and have fun. So whenever they wanted a “date,” their neighbor, who had a car but only one arm and one leg, chauffered them. (You can’t make this stuff up, folks) His name was Lecial, so they named their firstborn after him.
(Lecial Wayne is now known in many blues bars as “Waynerd Fingers”)

Anyway, what I want to know is, how did you get YOUR name? Who named you and why? Is there a story behind it? Were you named after someone? Do tell.

Message in a bottle

This isn’t a news blog, but I read this in the paper and wanted to post it:

Steve Lieder of Antigo, Wisconsin, plucked a bottle from White lake 11 years after his good friend Joshua baker, who died in a wreck last year, set it afloat with a note inside that read, “My name is Josh Baker. I am 10. If you find this put it on the news. The date is 4/16/95.”

Are york peppermint patties supposed to be chewy?

Because these mini patties I bought at a convenience store sure are chewy. They’re not supposed to be, right?

I wonder how old they are?

Whatever, I’m still eating them.

Dog Stuff

flease

As you know, I have 6 dogs. Not including the 7 new puppies which will go up for adoption in about 5 more weeks. If you have dogs, you probably battle fleas. We can usually get it taken care of pretty fast as soon as they start in the spring, but this year they’ve been much worse. We’ve dipped our dogs every few days all summer, plus spraying the yard and house, and throwing out granules too. We’ve hardly made a dent in them, it seems.

With fleas, sometimes come allergies. Yep, your dog can be allergic to flea bites. I have one dog who gets an allergy shot every month to stop her from continually chewing at her feet and back, which is where flea allergies usually affect them the most. So when another dog started chewing at her feet and losing her hair just this summer, I knew that’s what it was. I finally got around to taking her to the vet today.

He gave her an allergy shot and asked me what I’m doing about fleas. I told him about the battle. He told me that he wouldn’t charge me an office visit today if I would buy something for fleas for all my dogs. I told him it was a deal. I got the Frontline Plus for all six of my dogs, and all 7 puppies (two drops per puppy). I also got the flea pills, which are only 2.50 each. You give one to each dog and it kills all the fleas on them within two hours. It only lasts 72 hours though, so those are really more for just immediate relief until the other stuff kicks in.

The doc told me how to get rid of them in my yard and I wanted to pass it along. Find out where they’re breeding in the yard, and this will be the spot that the dogs lay in the most, and wherever you find holes have been dug. Dig about six inches down, removing the dirt to a wheelbarrow. Dig another 6 inches down and remove that dirt to another spot away from the first dirt. Put the first dirt back in the hole, cover with seven dust, then put the second dirt on top, and cover with more seven dust. So basically, bury the fleas. Then cover the entire yard with seven dust, enough to make it look like snow. Apply more the seven dust weekly. Do all this while treating them monthly with Frontline, and soon your flea problems will be gone.

MAN i hope this works. The vet estimated, and stressed that he was not exaggerating, that I probably have a million fleas at my home. He said, just because you only see 15 to 30 fleas on your dogs at a time, do not let that fool you.

So, how much did I spend today?
1 allergy shot - 23 dollars
1 treatment of Frontline for 6 dogs - 63 dollars
6 flea pills - 15 dollars
1 large bag of Seven Dust - 8 dollars
Seeing my dogs laying around peacefully not scratching for the first time this summer - PRICELESS.

Hey Shorty, It’s your birthday

This is a blog game I saw over at Diane’s. It’s not a tagging game, so just do it if you want to. Seems fun, so I’m doing it. I hope you’ll play, too. Here’s how:

Go to Wikipedia and search your birthday (not the year). Then you post three (3) items: two (2) births and one (1) death. I’m hoping if I invite enough folks to do this… at least one or two will do it. This isn’t mandatory… I just thought it would be fun… There are no rules…make it as simple or as complex as you wish. I of course, had to ramble. My initial goal was to just post pictures… HA! In any event, if you do this… let me know!!

My birthday is March 31, along with these two people:

1. Christopher Walken. WOW! I love him. He’s one of my all-time favorite actors. I didn’t know we shared a birthday.
christopher walken
My fave movies with him in it are Prophecy 1, 2, and 3. Also, here’s a cool video with him dancing, in case you didn’t catch it the first time I posted it last year.

2. Judith Rossner, an American author.
Judith
She wrote “Looking for Mr. Goodbar” among other great novels.

And this person died on my birthday:

Terri Schiavo

The girl whose husband legally had her feeding tubes removed so she could die after she was in a vegetative state for three years. It took 13 days of starvation.

And this not in the rules, it’s just an extra that I’m throwing in…
An event that happened on my birthday and year:
The Luna 10 space probe is launched by the Soviet Union. It would become the first probe to enter the moon’s orbit.

Paul of York says….

that I should blog this story that I put into his comments on one of his posts. So I’m just copying and pasting.

My brother had a cat that had kittens. The cat refused to nurse the kittens. He also had a weiner-dog. I know, you’ve heard it before, one animal nursing another type of animals babies. So you know I’m going to tell you that the weiner dog nursed the kittens.

Here’s the really strange part of it though. Not only had the dog never had puppies, she was young and had never been in heat yet at the time. So this not-yet-adult female dog saw the emergency, produced milk for the first time ever, and fed those kittens, and cleaned them, and protected them, until they were weaned and adopted.

Stranger still? The dog never did go into heat, ever. She’s now 7 years old.

Life

Puppies.
3 so far.
More on the way.

The dog we call “Cat” because she’s survived so many things that should have killed her, is now giving birth to her first (and only) litter of puppies. We meant to have her spayed before she was old enough to have babies, but time got away from us. We’ll have that done ASAP so she doesn’t get pregnant again. When she was in heat, we kept her away from the boy dogs in our home, or so we thought. So I’ve been waiting to see who these puppies look like so I can point fingers.

Cat is a mutt. She’s half chow, half dogo argentino. She’s not a small dog.

Surprisingly, these babies are looking an awful lot like our 7 pound toy fox-terrier.

I wouldn’t have thought that was even possible, but they do seem to love each other:

catgonzo

Yesterday, Mike said “The dogs won’t eat their dinner, none of them.” (We have 6) I said “Cat is about to have her puppies.” He said “WHAT?” I said it again. He laughed at me and asked me how I figure one thing has to do with the other. I told him, when a dog is ready to give birth, she won’t eat the day before. It’s her instinct to stay unfull because she’ll have to fill up when she eats the “STUFF.” Ew. And the other dogs know something’s not normal, they get anxious and won’t eat. I told him “It will be tomorrow.” and it is!

UPDATE: She had 7. Some of them look like the dachsund, too. Such a bad girl.

Worst Migraine Ever

Hit me like a freight train Sunday night. You guys know I get migraines, but this one was like no other. The pain was so bad I was delirious and seriously almost picked up the .38 and blew my brains out. Mike took me to the hospital where I got demerol. I’m still high.

Happy Mothers/Blogmothers Day

Well, it’s mother’s day again, and blogmother’s day too! Diane just made my day by naming me her blogmother and making such a nice post about it!

Working and not nearly enough sleep these past few days has really caught up to me, so when I got home this morning I just crashed. Then Sara woke me up at 9:30 ish and asked if I could give her a ride to church since Mike is gone to work. I laid there for a few seconds thinking… “I can’t, I can’t, I have to sleep.” But what came out of my mouth was a very small “ok.” Then I pulled myself out of bed and went to the bathroom. When I came back there was a mother’s day present on my dresser from Sara. She had somehow managed to find a way to get me a present without my knowing. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW… I was so glad I didn’t say “I can’t.”

Happy mother’s day and blogmother’s day to all the mommies out there!etherington alexringtones alltel vx3200 lgfree motorola composable ringtone 120eringtones vx3200 for lg alltelringtone free 4010 lg cingularsprint ringtone free vga samsung 1000alltel lg ringtone vx3200120e ringtone motorola compose Mapfree porn movies fullclips movie men black gay fuckingmovie sample gaymovie girlmovies peeing girlsgweneth paltrow moviessex clips movie homesex movies horror Map
