Friday, August 28, 2009 - YouTube Tim Hawkins Free Credit Report Dot Com Spoof

Posted in Whimsy

I'm not big on commercials, but occasionally there are a few that stick out in my mind. I think that the Free Credit Report dot com commercials are clever, so when I came across this YouTube video I just had to share.

I saw this a while ago but was reminded of it a the other day. If you haven't seen it, it really is a catchy tune and clever video.

Tuesday, July 1, 2008 - HIADD

Posted in Whimsy

While taking a few minutes the other day I stumbled across a must read post on Gina’s blog at Learning Legacy that described symptoms I have been having for a few years now. I was beginning to worry and seriously thought about seeking medical attention. Memory loss seemed to be prevalent. So often I go to do one thing only to forget what it was that I was going to do.  Rarely will you find me without a book or notebook in my hand, and to just sit and do nothing is unheard of.  Imagine my relief when I found Gina’s blog and recognized my life in her post.  I am so relieved that there is a name for it. It’s called Homeschool Induced Attention Deficit Disorder or HIADD for short.  I just thought I was getting old.  Now that I have diagnosed myself, I feel so much better and a whole lot less like I’m losing my mind.  What a comfort it is to know that I am not alone.

Tuesday, May 20, 2008 - A Big Thank You and a Couple of Silly Sites

Posted in Whimsy

I want to send out a big THANK YOU to the Homeschool Lounge.  My name was pulled in this month’s drawing for a $25 gift certificate at Amazon and a T-shirt from the Homeschool Boutique.  I am so tickled at how God blesses my life.  I also want to thank all the well-wishers who stopped by to congratulate me.  What a warm and wonderful community there is at the Homeschool Lounge!  If you haven’t been over there yet you should check it out.  Though our days are filled with schoolbooks, ball games, lessons, errands, and all the other things that occupy our time, it’s nice to know that you can fellowship with others with just a quick hello or spend time gleaming from others' experiences.  Tiany has down a wonderful job and has blessed the homeschool community greatly.

I thought I’d share a few silly links that have come into my e-mail lately.

Want to know how old you really are based on your life style?  Want to know how long your potential life span is?  Take this little quiz to find out. 

Real Age  

My mom sent me this one and I was shocked to find that my “real age” was 26 and that I should live to be 94.  Now if only I could convince my body that I was 26.

My son sent me this silly site to play with.  It really does make you chuckle and it's good for the environment because there’s nothing to throw away.  Have fun.

What Jeff Foxworthy has to say about people in South Carolina:
 
If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you may live in South Carolina.


If you are 'fixin' to go anywhere or do anything, you may live in South Carolina.

If 'vacation' means going to Myrtle Beach for a week, you may live in South Carolina.
 
If you install security alarms on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you may live in South Carolina.
 

If you carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you may live in South Carolina

If the speed limit on the highway is 55, you're going 70 and everybody is passing you, you may live in South Carolina


If you find 60 degrees 'a little chilly', you may live in South Carolina.

If you take time off work to watch college football,  you may live in South Carolina.

 If you know the names of any NASCAR drivers besides Dale Jr. or Jeff Gordon, you may live in South Carolina.

You keep yourself busy with tons of friends, activities, and interests.
You find it hard to turn down an opportunity, even if you are pressed for time.

Your friends find you fascinating, charming, and easy to talk to.
(But with so many competing interests, you friends do feel like you hardly have time for them.)

You excel in: Inspiring people

You get along best with: The Question Mark

 

Boy I hope most of this one is true.
