Jan. 22, 2015 - PPM - Obama Priorities

This week's PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) takes place on a Thursday. 

In case you missed it, a lot happened today:

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia died, probably sending more uncertainty into the foreign oil markets.

The US backed Yemen government resigned only 2 days after being declared a success in the State of the Union address.

Iran was exposed to have additional long –range missile capabilities.

Obama stated he would not meet Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu during his trip to Washington next month. 

However, Obama did find the time to meet with 3 YouTube stars where Obama stated if he had a superpower he would like is to be able to fly and/or speak any language.

Meanwhile the top story on NBC was the Tom Brady’s deflating balls.

Send in the adults.

Jan. 16, 2015 - Friday Funny - Math is Easy

This week's FRIDAY FUNNY is creative.  I believe this math answer is a great response for Common Core advocates.  This student REALLY thought outside the box.  A+

Jan. 13, 2015 - Ohio Against the World

This serves as a reminder about what people thought about THE Ohio State University before the National Championship Game against Oregon.

How many times have we seen a post on Facebook about a lost phone?

This is the best response so far.

Jan. 3, 2015 - The Fence

THE FENCE:

There once was a young boy with a very bad temper. The boy's father wanted to teach him a lesson, so he gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper he must hammer a nail into their wooden fence.

On the first day of this lesson, the little boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. He was really mad!

Over the course of the next few weeks, the little boy began to control his temper, so the number of nails that were hammered into the fence dramatically decreased.

It wasn't long before the little boy discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Then, the day finally came when the little boy didn't lose his temper even once, and he became so proud of himself, he couldn't wait to tell his father.

Pleased, his father suggested that he now pull out one nail for each day that he could hold his temper.

Several weeks went by and the day finally came when the young boy was able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

Very gently, the father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. "You have done very well, my son," he smiled, "but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same."

The little boy listened carefully as his father continued to speak.

"When you say things in anger, they leave permanent scars just like these. And no matter how many times you say you're sorry, the wounds will still be there."

Jan. 2, 2015 - FF- Sad, But True

This week's FRIDAY FUNNY would be funny, except it is true.

Unfortunately, the outlay of funds for these programs will only grow until we secure the borders and take back control of our country.

Jan. 1, 2015 - New Year's Resolutions

This year I want to turn the world on with my smile.

I want to take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile.

Also, I want to watch a little less TV-Land.

Best graphic.  Why change at the beginning of the year?

Change when IT IS NEEDED.... or not at all.
