Talk Like a Landlubber Day

Ahoy matey!

On Sept. 19, I like to Talk Like a Landlubber while everyone else is Talking Like a Pirate.

Here's are some of me favorite landlubber lines:

* Honey, would you stop by the store and get some bread before you pick up junior at his soccer practice?

* Yes, sir, I'll have the financial statements ready by the end of the day.

* I prefer the mountains to the ocean.

God must love those dumb landlubbers. He made so many of 'em!

Top 10 Ways You Know You're Not in KY Any More!

10. You find po'boys on the menus instead of sub sandwiches.
9. Spanish Moss decorates the trees.
8. Oil Pumpers in the fields instead of corn.
7. Find crawfish traps and rice fields instead of limb lines and soybean fields.
6. Seagulls and cranes grace the boggy fields-and even ride bareback on cattle.
5. Love bugs pollute the air and collide with windshields rather than lightning bugs.
4. Cajun food signs rather than KFC.
3. Words use more vowels and less consonants (such as Ribodeaux).
2. Instead of rivers, creeks, lakes, and ponds you are more likely to see bayous, marshes, and swamps!
1. Carnage consists of puffed up armadillo rather than fatally injured deer.

And here's a bonus one:

You don't worry about drought, you survive the eye of Hurricane Humberto! We woke up with no power, no telephone land lines, and no air conditioning. Streets were flash flooded and lines were out to the main roads at gas stations (to power generators).

Praying For Poop

And that about sums up the State of Things right now.

Molly didn't poop for four days. And this following an explosion of 8.0 Richter Scale proportion! And I was okay after the first two days, because I am an Experienced Mommy who doesn't stress about small stuff any more.

What's in a name, Superman?

The AP reports that the Venezuelan government is cracking down on parents who give their children "'names that expose them to ridicule, are extravagant or difficult to pronounce,' or that raise doubts about whether a child is a girl or a boy."

There's no question that your name says a lot about a person, but it often says a lot about the parents as well. The current Venezuelan voter registration rolls already list two Supermans.

But even with the best of intentions a child can end up with a name that confuses everyone. My own parents, while giving me normal first and middle names, still left me to explain myself every time someone asked my name, beginning on the first day of kindergarten. Read more here.
