Scarecrow and Mrs. King - YESSS!!

Does anyone remember PAX TV when it was a big thing? Sometime in the mid to late 90's? diagnosis murder, animal heroes, and the great and untouchable Touched By An Angel?

Allow me to reach further back into your memory. Does anyone remember the TV show, Scarecrow and Mrs. King? That was in the 80's. It's this great show about a slick spy (code-named Scarecrow - real name Lee Stetson) who unwittingly becomes partenered with a divorced housewife with two kids (Mrs. Amanda King).

It was replayed on PAX in the late 90's, all four seasons, every evening from 3-4. Well, I LOVE Scarecrow and Mrs. King, it's AWESOM! mom and I have talked about finding it on DVD on and off for years, but with no succes in actaully finding it. Well, Wednesday night, me and Mom were out for coffee, and started talking about old TV shows, which naturally led to a discussion about Scarecrow and Mrs. King.

So, we get home and Mom does a search for the show, and actaully finds it!!! We found all four seasons for on sale for only $50 at TVShowmedia, so I bought them! I'm so happy!!!

Knees and Bikes

Some of you know that a litle less than two months ago Dad, Buddy, Birdie and I went on a 39 mile bike ride on the path 'round here. (We headed East 20 miles and then back) If you knew that, then you also know that on mile 1 I made a really stupid mistake (that any 9 year old who's been bikeing more than a year would know not to do) and fell and skaped up my knees really bad. I then rode another 38 miles (during which I aplied anti-bactierial stuff and cleaned it numerous times).

Well, nearly two months later all I have left on my knees are some red spots that haven't aquired their usual color, but they're basically healed.

At the same time, though, for the past two months I've been having more knee pain than usual, and it feels different than it used to. I inspected my knees, and I think my knee caps have actaully moved (I already had off-set knee caps anyways, but they're in different spots now).

Theory: I tore some ligaments or something when I fell, but didn't know it becuause I was in so much pain from the scrapes that I didn't notice that the actual joints were hurting.

So, if you all could please pray that they heal themselves and I don't have to take them to a doc to figuer out what needs done or not done, I'd appriciate it.

Ann Coulter, Thoughts About

Well, I've been hearing (and you may have been too) about Ann Coulters new book, If Democrats Had Any Brains They'd Be Republicans. This provocative title actually tops the title of her last book, How To Talk To A Liberal (If You Must): The World According To Ann Coulter (something I didn't think quite possible).

Is Ann going over the top? Well, I think that what she is saying is true, but she could be a little more genteal about it, I suppose. Is she trying to get attention just for attentions sake? How can one really tell? An since we can't really know, don't we just have to take her for what she produces (books, tv and radio presentations etc.)? If that's so, we've just come back to the first question, has she gone over the top?

I've been struggling with this some lately. Where is the line between "being nice" and "being a RINO" (RINO: Republican In Name Only). Also, (and this is more pertinent to Ann Coulter's writings) where is the line between "being mean" and "telling it like it is"? This is a quandary that my mind has been tangling with for quite some time, and I can't seem to figure it out.

For the record, I have not read Ann Coulter's books, but I am quite familiar through the radio and TV.

On that note, has anyone read any of them, and could anyone recommend one that is especially good?

You'll have to excuse me now; I need to get back to my regularly scheduled "Discussions of certain political and philosophical quandary's with TJO".

something funny about math - is it possible?

If you know me very much at all you probably know that I really don't like math of all sorts. (actaully, what little chemistry I've been introduced to is quite interesting, but that's beside the point) Well, this semester i'm techinically taking two math "classes". one at home and Consumer Mathmatics with Mrs. D (and three other girls, all of us friends with, um, Mrs. President [not madame president, Mrs. president, ie Funkysocks]).

Well, I thought that there was nothing funny whatsoever about math, until I found the pic's below. The story is I was looking for a new pic for my gtalk status thing. i wanted something interesting, so I typed in "funny" searching images. Well, about two pages in I found these, and being a math enthusiast (ina twisted way) I popped them up big and started laughing like you wouldn't believe!

Sooo... hope they make you laugh as much as they did me!




It's sort of hard to read the second one, so I'll transcribe:

Question: Explain the shape of the graph.

Answer:
"Its curvy, with a higher bit at the end and a rather aesthetically pleasing slope downwards towards a pretty flat strait bit. The actaul graph itself consists of 2 strait lines meeting at the lower left hand corner of the graph and moving away at a 90 degree angle. Each line has an arrow head on the end."

I like lyrics, so what?

What if I am flooding you peoples reading material with lyrics? well, I know some find it boring, but it is a large part of my languege (Blogger needs a spell check). I've spent the morning spinning vinal (playing records for those of you who don't ever do that) and this is Dad and I's favorite Petra tune. I found out that Jars of Clay also did this song, but I won't vouch for it 'cause I don't think anyone could do it as well as Petra (petra ROCKS [no pun intended]).


Petra Lyrics

Rose Colored Stained Glass Windows Lyrics


Another sleepy Sunday, safe within the walls
Outside a dying world in desperation calls
But no-one hears the cries, or knows what they're about
The doors are locked within, or is it from, without...

Looking through rose colored stained glass windows
Never allowing the world to come in
Seeing no evil and feeling no pain
Making the light as it comes from within, so dim...

*instrumental*

Out on the doorstep lay the masses in decay
Ignore them long enough, maybe they'll go away
When you have so much you think, you have so much to lose
You think you have no lack, when you're really destitute

Looking through rose colored stained glass windows - stained glass windows!
Never allowing the world to come in - they won't lemmie come in!
Seeing no evil and feeling no pain - no feel, no pain!
Making the light as it comes from within, so dim - the light's so dim!
- so dim - the light's so dim!

*instrumental*

Looking through rose colored stained glass windows
Never allowing the world to come in
Seeing no evil and feeling no pain
Making the light as it comes from within, so dim, so dim!

*instrumental*
