Debating

I think I'm going to change to tumblr or something. Just toying with the idea.

ZOMIG

Mom has decided that she's going to have a family reunion at her house this coming month. While I think it's great, and can't wait, I also wonder if she's just doing it to show off their amazing house. They have a lot to show off, they did great with it, and somehow made it a home that makes me *feel* like I'm home. Is it odd that even tho I don't live there, it feels more home to me than were I currently am?

We've been looking into purchasing a house, which is super excited and terrifying. We need one with extremely low maintenance. I want to be closer to where my parents are, closer to Neil's work, and my doctors. So why not move? 

The heat is making my migraines worse. So it's a struggle to get the guys to turn it on and keep it cool. The A/C isn't very nice, and needs to be monitored while it's on, at all items. It's crazy. But we did get new meds, or rather *I* got new meds for migraine prevention nasal spray, called ZOMIG. Tho it sounds like when people say ZOMG.

Any comments welcome. :)

HELL EXPLAINED BY A CHEMISTRY STUDENT

The following is an actual question given on a University of Arizona
chemistry midterm, and an actual answer turned in by a student.

The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared
it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, is why we
now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.



(I question all the above but the following is classic!)


Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic
(absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law
(gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some
variant.


One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we
need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate
at which they are leaving, which is unlikely. I think that we can
safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave.
Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering
Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world
today.

Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their
religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these
religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we
can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as
they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase
exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell
because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and
pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand
proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls
enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase
until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in
Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes
over.

So which is it?


If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman
year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and
take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then
number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and
has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since
Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more
souls and is therefore, extinct..... ...leaving only Heaven, thereby
proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night,
Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God.'

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+

Bruised

I fell for the third time this week a couple of days ago. Not happy, it hurts to wear a bra. Don't know why I've suddenly started doing this, but here I am with sore ribs and arm. They're dark purple and dark blue right now, you can really see the line on my ribs.

Speaking of which, I was in the ER again today, mostly for vertigo, we had a miscommunication... I thought I was getting stuff for the vertigo and nausea, but he gave me the usual stuff, that includes narcotics. I only get to get shots twice a month, and here I am in less than a week.

Very excited tho, I got a brand new office chair that is SUPER comfy and works great for my back and legs! I can't wait to show it off at the next D&D night.

Also, I've almost done with my xmas shopping and birthdays! Just need one more item and I'm gooooood! So excited for having it done so I don't have to fret about it as the dates get closer.

Right now I"m on the drugs from the ER, so things are going great. I'll probably regret putting this picture on the blog, but you know how it is.

Godzilla

No I didn't see the movie. But I did get a box from my mom which looks like Godzilla to me.

Looks like Godzilla vs Goldfish with people on a hike looking at them. I can't be the only one who thinks this!

--- --- ---

Side note, nothing has really happened. I did fall out of bed again, third time this week. I have the bruises and sore ribs to prove it! I just wanted to share the Godzilla picture with out, I'm still alive!

Anyways

I have been struggling the past couple of weeks. Things with my sister-in-law, Lisa, are not going anywhere. I did do something very childish and I will apologize for that, but I'm going to stand my ground. I will not be bullied about *that* subject anymore.

You know, I wouldn't be even thinking about *not* having kids so much if she would just drop it. It's at this point that she's saying it to be mean. She's in her late 30s, time to grow up.

Yesterday Shay (my wife ;) ) came over and we cooked some things on the grill and ate and watched a movie and a comedian with Neil and Paul. Over all very nice. I love when she comes over, but I"ve been hurting lately, so I can't see her as much. I hope everyone had a great day and enjoyed their activities!

--- --- ---

Family reunion at my mom's place is coming up in a little over a month. I'm both excited and worried about it. I don't know what my role is, there's been so much talk of me babysitting, without me knowing I was volunteered for it. I said, firmly but politely, NO. Doesn't stop mom tho. She's just going and going on this. She hurt her foot too! She dropped a rock on it by accident. She's so silly and clumsy. It's going to be interesting too, to see where things go from here.

--- --- ---

Sakura-con... yah, I'm supposed to have written an after-con report... I start it then I go blank, I know things happened, but for the life of me I cannot do it. This is why I should write things down every con day after it happens. *sigh* what am I going to do??? I have like 10 different versions of it, but I know I"m missing something!

Anyways, have a great day!

Internet Junkyard #28

A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day, drinking iced tea and visiting with her mother. As they talked about life, about marriage, about the responsibilities of life and the obligations of adulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober glance upon her daughter.

 'Don't forget your sisters,' she advised, swirling the tea leaves to the bottom of her glass. 'They'll be more important as you get older. No matter how much you love your husband, no matter how much you love the children you may have, you are still going to need sisters. Remember to go places with them now and then; do things with them.'

 'Remember that 'sisters' means ALL the women... your girlfriends, your daughters, and all your other women relatives too. 'You'll need other women. Women always do.'

 What a funny piece of advice!' the young woman thought. Haven't I just gotten married? Haven't I just joined the couple-world? I'm now a married woman, for goodness sake! A grownup! Surely my husband and the family we may start will be all I need to make my life worthwhile!'

 But she listened to her mother. She kept contact with her sisters and made more women friends each year. As the years tumbled by, one after another, she gradually came to understand that her mother really knew what she was talking about. As time and nature work their changes and their mysteries upon a woman, sisters are the mainstays of her life.

 After more than 50 years of living in this world, here is what I've learned:

 THIS SAYS IT ALL:

 Time passes. Life happens. Distance separates. Children grow up. Jobs come and go. Love waxes and wanes. Men don't do what they're supposed to do. Hearts break. Parents die. Colleagues forget favors. Careers end. BUT.........

 Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you. A girl friend is never farther away than needing her can reach.

 When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end.

 Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you....Or come in and carry you out.

 Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers, Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended family: all bless our life!

 The world wouldn't be the same without women, and neither would I. When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we would need each other.

Not Sure

Not sure where things are going. It's been a toss up the past month or so.First it was this chest cold (which I still have), then Sakura-Con DURING the chest cold, not to mention the 2 teens I had with me this year. That went well, however, when I came back, that's when things took a turn for the worse.
You all know I"m a rather negative person, I try not to be, but I am. I especially don't want to be to the kids, my nieces and nephews especially. I was told I have failed. I'm not sure if it's 100% true or not, seeings how Lisa and I are not getting along as of late. Like the past month late. She told me, in the "sweetest" way possible that my life had no meaning unless I gave birth to children. I got offended because it was different this time. She's said stuff like that before, but it was always something I could brush off, this time was hurtful. I asked her "Geez Lisa, tell me what you really think about me." and she went on to say that I (and Neil) basically were wasted space, lives meaningless, no point to our exhistance, if we didn't give birth to children.

Needless to say I am still not happy with her, I don't know what our friendship will look like in the future, but right now, since she feels she's not in the wrong, it doesn't look good. Granted I've been rather negative towards her ever since, and she chewed me out for that, and I told her she was right, I have been negative towards her since she said what she said, but she still thinks she did nothing wrong. She said many hurtful things, including that the kids hate me, fear me, and I had JUST given gifts. I try so hard NOT to be negative with them, because that's how my father was with me, and I keep thinking "not them, never them". That being said, Neil and I have decided not to take the children to Sakura-con again, nor this camping trip I've been planning since forever. Mom is calling me "self pity" and saying not to get emotional about this, Dave is saying he "loves" me. Funny how that changes when you say you wont do something for their children.

Sam's health is wishy-washy at best. He has his good times and bad times. We're going to see a specialist soon. My health has been that as well. So, I'm not sure what will be in store for us anytime soon. Health, family, money, drama up the ying-yang. Just, *sigh* not sure.

Some of my pictures on this blog are no longer there, no idea what happened. Sorry everyone. :(
