How to wash a toilet

something else to brighten up your day...i know it worked for me :)

How to wash a toilet



This was simply too much of a time saver not to share it with you


1. Put both lids of the toilet up & add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.

2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.

3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close the lid. You may need to stand on the lid.

4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.

5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a 'power-wash' and rinse'.

6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift the lid.

8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, & run outside where he will dry himself off.


9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.






Sincerely,

The Dog

How could she?

I was chatting with a friend last night and she was telling me the story of how her neighbor just had a baby, but wouldn't touch it.

Shocked and appalled? I know I was, especially after I found out that both she and her husband are, as my friend put it, "black as night". However, the baby was as white as snow, and apparently, this is the reason she wouldn't touch it.

I don't know if the dad felt the same way, but this made me sick to my stomach to even think that someone who just gave birth to a beautiful baby because its not the same color is just plain wrong.

The only way I could even fathom such behavior would be if it was the dad who refused to hold it thinking maybe it wasn't his.

*SIGH* Don't you just love the way people act these days. What do you think about this?

Computer Humor

The Original Computer!!!!



Memory was something you lost with age
An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity

A keyboard was a piano
A web was a spider's home
A virus was the flu
A hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived

And if you had a 3 inch floppy.


You just hoped nobody ever found out!?!

What happened to respect?

As a kid in junior high and high school, I was never a troublemaker, by any stretch of the imagination, but I was one to play pranks with my friends during class. Now that I'm a teacher, I see the other side of things. One person once said that as bad as you are, your kids/students will be worse. After what I've seen today, I have to wonder if that is true.

The choir director has been having some issues with a couple of her students, so she finally sent them to the office. I happened to be headed up there to make some copies, and the conversation I heard and what she told me later dumbfounded me.

Apparently, these kids think she's prejudice against white people. Problem with that is that she's white.

She took away one kid's cell phone because he was texting. Now, I'm no dummy. I know that some of my students text during class, but they at least have the courtesy to keep it hidden. This kid sits in the front row and was just blatantly texting right there in front of her, and after she repeatedly told him to put it up, he didn't stop. As she was sending him out, he grabbed his crotch and spat on the floor. From what I hear, the assumption is that he was aiming for her, and just didn't make it. WTF?!?

The other student took offense to his friend being sent out, so he got up, and tried to get the phone from her. As he was doing this, he was calling her all sorts of names.

I don't know what's going to happen to these boys, but I hope they get some severe punishment. A slap on the wrist will not bode well for the rest of us. This was some brash tactics employed here, and if nothing is done, then it could be the start of something.

Unfortunately, it is part of the culture these days. Students don't respect their teachers anymore (except for the fear of coaches). A friend of mine that teaches band across town literally flunks her kids for not showing up, and they don't seem to care. I don't know about you, but an F in band is one of the worst grades I could possibly imagine, but apparently, they don't care about any of their classes and will just bitch and moan to their parents to get it changed, and somehow it gets changed. That never would have happened in my day.

*SIGH* I guess the good old days of respect are all but numbered. What do you think?

Bombers and soldiers

I'm sure we've all seen those old cartoon, movies, and clips of those old World War bomber planes that swoop in low and then go back to their normal flight pattern, right? How about those perfectly in step armies? I think we have both in these house. I kid you not!

First the bombers. The little woman and I keep a relatively clean house. Occasionally dishes stack up in the sink or something, but never enough to create creatures. Or so we though, until last night when over the course of the night 3 or 4 giant roaches made their presence known. These things were some giant things, too. If I didn't know better, I'd say they had been genetically altered or had some kind of radiation. There were that big. As big as they were, they were nice and crunchy when we crushed them. So much for those bombers. Still, guess its time to call an exterminator. My theory is that they came through the walls from the people on either side of us, but I could be wrong.

As far as the army, well, what other critters would you think of when it comes to armies? Of course, I'm speaking of ants. Now, I have no real issue with ants. They don't bother anyone for the most part. They just work for their food, unlike those nasty roaches. Thought they are an annoyance. So, the kitchen is like a war zone right now.

So, of course we have to find a way to get rid of these things, especially the roaches. Anyone have any suggestions?

Stalked!

So, every night for the past few weeks at around the same time, the phone rings and on the other end is a collect call from one of two prisons. Apparently, the little woman has a pair of stalkers. Well, at least one. The other prison is up in the northeast part of the state where I am from, but to my knowledge I don't know anyone in prison.

I know many, if not all, of us would deny a call from a prison, but for me, I always have that feeling that it'll be someone I know. Call me paranoid.

So, at the little woman's office, prisoners do the cleaning. They have rules, though. They're not allowed to interact with anyone, and if they do they're supposed to be reported. So, before Xmas one prisoner somehow got the address and sent her a letter. Not that hard to find, since the last names are outside their cubicles. She didn't report it, thinking it was harmless. Well, now he's taken to calling. She has since called to get it blocked, but that doesn't excuse his breaking the rules and calling.

As for the other caller. That is a total mystery as to why he's calling, or who he is, but the warden up there has said that he'll look into it.

I swear, if its not one thing its another. Hopefully these calls will stop and we can get some peace again. Unfortunately, she's scared that one day they're gonna come by the house since she's blocked them. Oy! I don't think there's any need for worry about that, but the concern is warranted.

what do you guys think about this situation? Have you ever had anything like this happen?
