     **"How do people in Mexico run to the boarder to eat at Taco Bell??"**

                  **"We live in the era of smart phones and stupid people!"**

   **"Boobytrap spelled backwards is partyboob!   Carry on."**

          **"It is OK to let your mind go blank  but please turn off the sound. "**

*Boss logic* My response when you ask me something---"No!" My response when I actually hear and comprehend your question----"Hell no!!"

                         **"Had a one night stand---my legs are killing me!"**

      In a month and one day---I may or may not be having a birthday.  If you have lots of presents, yes I am having a birthday!   I can supply you with a list of great presents I would enjoy.   But since I am the only one that can see most of my friends--I don't see to many gifts being under the ol' birthday tree.  I have been told that if you are feeling really down about life--you just change the birthday settings on all of your personal pages like Facebook--and sit back and enjoy all the greetings and well wishes!   Several months ago we got out of Bank of America.  I could spend the rest of this blog explaining how annoying the bank was--and not helpful in general for us.  Right after we switched banks, the name changed for the bank completely.  I am not sure how this even happens.  But it can not be a good sign for things to come for there customers.   I am starting to think that if we had any money we should just hide it in our bed mattress.  ----Please disregard this last sentence if you know were we live. 

     Today we had a rare family day and snuck away to the zoo in Tucson.  Although I have seen much betterer zoo's it was just about the right size --to enjoy and get out.   I do not like much about Phoenix--but the zoo there is amazing.  But it is much to large!   And after paying to get in--you want to see everything before leaving.  When you live in the land of the sweating sun, seeing everything before heat stroke fully sets in can be a real challenge.  But don't buy drinks at the zoo--a fountain soda can be three or more dollars!  The one in Tucson is a nice size.  Plus it has a water park in the middle---it is meant for little kids, but cooled us off just fine.  Just beside the zoo is a huge city park.  More on all of this very soon in one of my local Exploring blogs.   All about Exploring beautiful Arizona-and very full of pictures.  http://exarizonagobensonbobcats.blogspot.com/      Please check out my newest blog sight and share the page like crazy, if you enjoy what you see there!

         I am starting to really believe that living in constant sun affects people.  It seems to mostly be the same people that repeatably tell you --that the heat is not really all that bad--because it is a dry heat.  Once it gets so hot 300 days in a row--it's just flippin' hot!   I don't care if it's a dry, wet, sticky or even moist/sexy heat   it's hot out.  Stop grasping at straws and trying to tell me it's not hot out.  Having sweat drip off of every part of my body is natures way of telling me it's Dam hot out.  And if it was a totally dry heat, wet things would not be dripping out of every orifice of my body.  The constant heat makes people angry-very angry. And it seems to make them dumb.  Very dumb.  I use our current neighbors and the stories I have been telling about them as exhibits A-Z!

  I have touched on this before---but if you have to do a price check at a dollar  store---maybe the owners should think about changing the name on the front door of the store.  As in---it's not a dollar store!  Locally ONLY the Dollar Tree is actually a dollar store.  Any of the others have prices all over the board.  Few of them an actual dollar.  Cliff notes:  This is NOT a dollar store.  I do wish the Dollar Tree sold gas though.  ;)

Just Another Day In Paradise

 

      The above picture is from just outside of Benson, Arizona.
  I have so many new exploring pictures to add and share VERY soon!


                                                           

 

This post brought you you by Mr Coffee!!

 

 

      Hello all and welcome to another, long awaited batch of my random rambling!  With our cross country move turning into an extended, very costly adventure, and the very spotty wi-fi were we live at the moment-- I have not focused on blog posts for awhile.  I am happy and thankful to announce that this page now has 16,000+ views!   Thank you all for that, and please share my links if you actually enjoy what you see here.  Many times I just see this page as a glorified journal for myself.  My 2nd blog page is full of exploring and personal pictures of Washington.   And my 3rd blog page will drop this summer----full of exploring Arizona and all this area has to offer.   I really hope you enjoy these pages even half as much as I enjoy making them. 

 

Us all in Tombstone, AZ last week.

After the gun fight

Whole blog post on this coming soon.

   With the long trip and such, I have more people to add to my dislike or "DURP" list, so watch for updates.  If you do not know what a DURP is---type DURP into this pages search section.  If you do not find the post of explanation amusing, Surprise!, you are probably a DURP.   **I can tell you here that DURP stands for----- Dim-witted Urban Redneck Parole.   One of the best examples you will soon get to read about--is a couple from Bellingham---I have posted about the wife before, but her and her "Great" husband, are quickly topping the list as my all time Queen and Queen Durp!   **Golf clap!  

    Also new to the list -is the sight manager at the RV park we are staying at this month.   We are all on edge, five people and a big dog in a 21 foot travel trailer, in the sun, not everything in the trailer actually works.   But it is purdy nice for only paying  $200.00 for the trailer.   Anyways- long story short, the manager is a huge DURP.   So much so that all of our tongues are bleeding, from biting them so hard- to not say anything back that will get us kicked out before we get approved for the nice rental house down the street.   I however did not say I would not push the limits----  like by typing these blogs in the rec room/his office  were he spends most of the day hiding from his wife, and taking over the large screen TV.   ;)

        We hope to be in the nice rental by next week, at that point I can stop holding back and earn my "Prick" badge yet another time.   My wife is overly happy, because against all of my bad thoughts of joining the dark side again, I just got a job at Wally World again.  They obviously have not seen my blog posts about the great DURP company or my non fan page on Facebook.   It is mainly an easy way to start collecting a paycheck again, until I can jump into a much better paying job, and better environment.   Anyways, my wife is very happy, almost Cheeseball, because when I quit the DURP company way back in 2007, after eight long years of being a blue wearing associate, I told her she could shoot me in the foot --if I ever worked for the retail giant again.   So get ready to call me Hop Along! 

 

This is a very old picture -but I love it!

We would not all be able to fit on the bed as comfy now.

      Father's Day was last week----and we had a very relaxed day here.  Trying not to get to much sun, and chasing down lizards and such through the desert.   I realize that moms do it all, but at least at our house there is a huge difference between Mother's and Father's day.   Huge. 
Anyways, I have never claimed to be a good father, but I try.   Being the step dad---I try even harder than many.   

 

 

 

       That's not right!   What is more not right---is that you chuckled after reading this, even if it was just a lil bit under your breath!  ;)

    And now some jokes for y'all!

 

I have more pictures on the same thought line--but these are the only two I can find at the moment.....

 

 

 

 

    Hello all! And welcome to 2013---I still can not believe it is another year, and am having trouble putting 13 on all of my checks. Luckily a 2 is very easily turned into an 3 for sure. I have been reading many of my past blog posts, and laughing a lot. My older posts were funnier, and I hope to return to that. This page has takin' a back seat to my newest blog series lately. All about exploring Bellingham Washington.  My best pictures and thoughts on the area, make the posts.  Please check it out   http://exploreb-ham.blogspot.com/

The pictures really are great.  

And I took them all. 

I am slowly working on a link to house all of my best exploring pictures. 

Yes please!

   It is a wonderful sight, but so is this one.  So I want to start posting again.  With my random rambling.  And coffee love for sure!   One of the features I really enjoy from this blog sight is the many "deep" quotes I add to the blogs.  So here are a few new ones ----

  **"I feel down the stairs yesterday with a guitar, and wrote a new song for "One Direction'!"**---If you do not know who this group is, consider yourself lucky!

               **"The key to eating healthy---avoid any food that has a TV commercial."**

  **"Our neighbor asked if she could borrow our vacuum cleaner---I said yes, if you don't take it out of our house!"**

                             **"MY life plans were so much more exciting when I was five!"**

                                          **"Help keep grandma off the street---support bingo!"**

                                            **"I'm not a witch, I'm your wife!!"**---The Princesses Bride----
 I love this movie!   And I got to watch my kids enjoy this movie the other day.  It was beyond awesome.  

                **"My best relationship advice... Make sure you are the crazy one."**------Check on accomplishing that.  At least most daze. 

  I have many ideas and concepts to bring back to this page.  And hope to gain new readers and that many of the old ones come back.  This sight has a ton of views since it's launch.  So thank you!!   In the near future this includes a whole post about gun control, one about us surviving 2012.  *Psssst, we were all supposed to die!*  I would have posted that blog much soonerer, but I was waiting to see if we were going to die, before wasting all of that time and energy ;)  My "mini rants" is going to come back each week.  Please check out some of the old ones, if you have not enjoyed them in the past.  And of course lots and lots of jokes and pictures I have borrowed off this new place called the Internet.  

   Today I start with a flash back to December & Christmas time.   We had an amazing Christmas. Santa scored extra big at our house, by bringing all of the kiddos hand held tablets.  And I have to say it was the quietest Christmas with three kids....  Ever!  We heard them roaming out to the living room around 3 AM.  They know they can only open what is in there stockings in the morning.  And than they started playing on the systems, and we heard nothing until we slowly roamed out of bed.   Slowly because my wife and I have a great tradition on Christmas Eve --that involves drinking a lot and trying to put the kids toys together. ;)  
     It was a great Christmas even with three Furby's in the house --talking to each other in English and non English.   Yes Furby's are back.   Wahoo!    The new ones are kind of kool.  And you can sync them with your I-Pod and feed them and such with the device.  
    Anyways, you are straying from the point of this story.   Stop thinkin' about booze or the above peepin' Santa and focus.  Just before the big day, two of our children got selected to attend "Shop with a cop."  They have never been picked before, so the state must have felt we were overly poor this year.   Basically each school can choose students they feel might not get the best Christmas, and they meet up at Wally World to shop with a cop.   Tons of cops and workers donate there time, and it really is a great thing.  Especially great, considering Wal Mart participates and does something good!  Way early in the morning, a Saturday morning at that, we all gathered at the retail giant to sign in.  Than everyone went outside to watch the police show up.  And what a show!  
    30-40 cop cars blow past the happy kids, lights going, sirens blaring.  Than the star of the parade shows up on top of a big fire truck.   "Santa!" Everyone cheers!   Than it is picture time with the huge group.    This was my time to exist, because our oldest son was not picked to do the shopping.   Him and I ventured clear across the street for some coffee, hot chocolate, and donuts.  The essentials for sure.  The coffee shop workers were all talking about the parade of police cars that just shot into the Wal Mart parking lot.   They did not know about the event, and were sure a hostage type event was going on at the store.  We smiled as we sipped our warm beverages, not pausing to explain what was really going on.
      We soon decided it was time to go back to Wally World.  With all those cops around, most of the shoppers should actually act normal-ish, right?   As I was getting out of the car, I decided to lock my keys inside the car.  I noticed as I was slamming the car door shut, but it was to late.  Even longer story short---shop with a cop day is the best day ever to lock ones keys in your car!   Because there are cops every were!  It was soon decided that since we have electric locks on our vehicle, trying to "jimmy" the door open would cause more damage than benefits.  Plus no law abiding citizen can actually get into a locked car.  Any con or ex con, now tow truck driver, can get into your car before you can say "Dam you Wally World store!"
      Here is the great part.  And I thank the local police department from the bottom of my heart.  No really!  Two of the officers drove me clear across town to our apartment, to get my wife's set of keys.  Again I thank these officers and the police department for such a great act and day.  This would have been about an two hour journey on the city bus.  Plus it was great fun to jump out of the   police vehicle with two officers in the front seat, when we pulled up into our apartment complex.  Every one here is overly nosy.  So now they still have something to talk about.  

   And now a couple of pictures & jokes to wake you up after the above long winded story!

I was not even aware Wally World sold midgets.

And wow are they cheap, must be a roll back!

Now that is taking full use of a to do calender.

I just have to ask if this is good PR or bad for the .com sight??

Birthdays And Other Pains

      So a few days back it was my birthday, nothing special it is just another day for the most part.  My wife bought me a French Silk pie, which was beyond wonderful in my belly!  And I went to work that night.  Possibly the best part about having this new job, is that no one knew it was my birthday.  No greetings on the time clock, no announcements of the PA loud speakers.  I got my own section of tables for the first time that night, meaning training was over, so that was a great present for sure.  I love that this place actually gives work training, most places train you in a super quick crash course and than set you loose on the customers.  Four days of training is great for the newbie worker and the customers, but it also means four days with no tips.  
      New stats show that many people die on the week of there birthday.  Because of stress and such factors.   Of course these stats came out just before my birthday.  So I do not know if it was old age setting in, or that I had heard these stats, that I started feeling really crummy that week, health wise.   And am very sure that I told my wife, that I would be overly annoyed if I woke up dead on my birthday!   Either way-- I  made it long enough to type today's post!   I am not sure how old I turned--but it was olllld.   My wonderful mother's birthday is the next day.  So I always recall her birthday.  What a birthday present she had the year I was born, getting to sit in the hospital and all.   If it were not for Facebook, I would not recall MANY birthdays.   But the real question is, do I really care if I know most of these "friends" birthdays or not?   My mother informed me that I only get half a credit this year, because her birthday card was still sitting on our desk on her birthday.
       I have rambled about this before---probably on my last birthday---- but I find it almost disturbing to wake up on your birthday and get on the computer.  Every social sight knows it is your birthday.   I realize I sign up for these sights and tell them when I was born.  But pre-coffee it is a little more disturbing.  

      In looking over my Facebook posts over the last week or so---I have noticed that I have been overly negative.    Our neighbors are driving me crazy and my wife and I have came to the conclusion that our friends and many relatives only show up when they need something.   I want to post a sign on our door that says   it says nothing, signs can't talk!    That reads "**We are all out of favors for ingrates, please try next door!*** I am done with ungrateful, selfish, babies this week thanks for playing!"

It's me!

I will probably post more about all of this on a later date, but wish to keep today on a lighter mood--so will show a positive, in my eyes from last week.....

    Exploring Big Rock Garden Park last weeksend. The kiddos were exploring, and some people yelled at them ---Because they were trying to enjoy the art work! Our youngest stopped--looked at them--and than said---"yha!? Well I am just trying to run!" And zoomed off. ;) Made my day !!   I have a post coming about the joys of this park--I really do!

    If I have not mentioned it before---I love my new job.   I have not worked in a casino before, so there is lots to learn.  But I have worked in many family restaurants, so the basics are there.   Anyways, last night --which was a Thursday night, I made $80.00 in tips.  That is about what I would make in two Thursdays combined at my last job.  

This is part of the huge expansion coming to Silver Reef Casino.

*were I work

                                                 Here here!      I wish it was that easy.
                                              I wish both of the above pictures was that easy...

Happily I have both!

Coffee and a more than wonderful wife.  

But we have definitely learned that you can not live on love alone.

Those dam landlords will not take food stamps or Monopoly money as payment. 

Speaking of beverages----It is Friday so 

Cheers!    

To all of my readers.

Reader.

    The Olympics also start today.  For those of you that will be watching all that excitement.  *Yawn

                                     We can only hope that day is only that violent!
