This is...Um...Creative?

I don't know what you'll think of this...Comment and let me know... Struck me as funny, but maybe I'm up too late... And Welcome to Canada!

Here's What I Really Think of Kids :)

Wait for it....

I love the last line of this commercial...

An Oldie, but a Goodie

One of the first of my faves...

More Commercials to Love

I thought I might burst a blood vessel over this one. Everyone is funny....The Dad, of course, the kids, and the two Moms just crack me up!

Airing Our Dirty Laundry

Bo can't resist. The strange voice in the background is, yes, you guessed it,
Gilles. And no, that's not his real voice. Still doing his doggie voice. Someday maybe I'll get him on camera doing his real voice...well not "doing" it since it would be his real voice....but you know what I mean.

Gilles' Favorite

This is G's favorite one....

Dogs Rule

I love these commercials. I saw this one first and almost pulled something laughing. The dog just looks so proud.... And David Duchovny -- man, he rocks. (he's the voice in the commercials)

I Laugh Every Time

Need a good laugh? I've got one for you. Dancing is finest art form....or, in this case, the greatest comic vehicle.

Anger Management

I love this picture....The title of it is:

"Sometimes when you are angry with someone...It helps to sit down and think about the problem."

Left Brain, Right Brain, Genius!

Is she spinning to the right? To the left? Or does she change directions? If she is spinning to the right, you are using the right side of your brain, if she is spinning to the left, you are using the left side. If she changes directions, you are a genius.

I, of course, am a genius. It took me a while, though. Gilles was a genius without hesitation. (Dammit)

The Importance of Sharing

I would like to share with all of you a valuable life lesson as illustrated (or not) by Bo...

Dog Genius!

Alright! Get ready to be astonished and amazed! Or at least overwhelmed by cuteness! I don't get mushy about much, but, hey, this is my dog man. Now, please keep in mind this is not my husband's real voice -- just so you know....

Folding Gets Old Unless....

I think I have bored most of you with tales of my time working in retail -- specifically at Tip Top selling men's clothes. I HATED folding all those sweaters. In fact I believe I was bitching about this just yesterday to a captive audience of students...If only I had met this woman....

Bad Words

If I could figure out Facebook, I probably wouldn't be here. Ha! Not a very auspicious start, huh? Well, it's the bloody truth. I don't really understand Facebook....well, I mean, I get the networking part -- the virtual "running into" old friends and stuff -- that's cool. But all the other stuff - all the "apps" -- gawd, I hate that word almost as much as the oft touted "appy" Seriously. Is it that bad? Do we have to shorten every word?

Speaking of words I hate, how 'bout (that's for all you word shorteners out there) we list a few. I invite you to respond with your own -- in fact I'd love to hear the words you hate! Okay some of these are actually more than one word -- not in order of importance:

1) "journey" a true journey is something someone like Marco Polo took, it is not an emotional experience or a thought process. For example getting through a sad movie is not a "journey" Learning something new about myself, like, for example that I am capable of restraint when people use the word "journey" is not itself a "journey."

2) "givin' 'er" now I'm not quite sure if I've spelled this correctly, but it means (loosely) to do something with great vigor. As in "I was really givin er" I find this most offensive. Some may find me a bit uppity here -- I know, you might think me a bit, oh, shall we say, snobbish? I can live with that.

3) 24/7 I have no rationale for this one. I just don't like it.

Okay, I think I've spent enough time painting myself as a nasty picky witch! I'm not really (honest!) it's just these things -- well, okay, I'm not a fan of "hooped" either, but seriously, I love language and all the fantastic ways it can be used.....okay most of the ways it can be used...

I hope you will chime in and add your thoughts to the list.
