Well, the deed is done, we have decided to eliminate the eternally grieving widow from our group. This has been heartbreaking for all of us, but I think once it settles in, we will be so much better for it. That said, I have a few things I am going to resolve to do and do better this year:
- Participate more in my FLYgroups
- Get back on the Flying program like I was
- Quit feeling sorry for myself and have a bit better attitude towards certain people in my (real) life
There is more, but that’s all that is on my mind for now. The kids will be home from school soon, so it is time to wrap it up here the best I can. Hope you are having a great day!

bird, but it fell into a farmer’s field on the other side of a fence. As
the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his
tractor and asked him what he was doing.
The lawyer responded, “I shot a duck and it fell in this field, and now
I’m going to retrieve it.”
The old farmer replied, “This is my property, and you are not coming
over here.”
The indignant lawyer said, “I’m one of the best trial attorneys
in Minnesota and if you don’t let me get that duck, I’ll sue you and
take everything you own.”
The old farmer smiled and said, “Apparently, you don’t know how we
settle disputes in these parts of Minnesota. We settle small
disagreements like this with the “Gofer Three Kick Rule.”
The lawyer asked, “What’s that?”
The farmer replied, “Well, because the dispute occurs on my land, first
I kick you three times and then you kick me three times and so on back
andforth until someone gives up”
The attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that
he could easily take the old codger.He agreed to abide by the local
custom.
The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the
attorney.
His first kick planted the toe of his heavy steel-toed work boot into
the lawyer’s groin and dropped him to his knees.
His second kick to the midriff sent the lawyer’s last meal gushing from
his mouth.
The barrister was on all fours when the farmer’s third kick to his rear
end sent him face-first into a fresh cow pie.
The lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his
feet.Wiping his face with the arm of his jacket, he said, “Okay, you old
coot, now it’s my turn.”
(I love this part…..)
The old farmer smiled and said, “Naw, I give up. You can have the duck.”

You Should Get a PhD in Science (like chemistry, math, or engineering) |
 You’re both smart and innovative when it comes to ideas. Maybe you’ll find a cure for cancer - or develop the latest underground drug. |
I have taken over The Birthday Blog at AboutWeblogs.com, as of last Thursday. Go check it out, it is a fun blog, and hopefully will come up with some great gift giving ideas, as well as post about celebrity birthdays. Please comment on your birthday, so we can wish you a happy birthday too 
I am gearing up for some more exciting changes coming around the bend too, so keep your eyes open
OMG Agathe–I had to add this somewhere, as this is unbelievably cute–or something Great job!
Nothing too exciting going on here today really. I spent the vast majority of the morning working on MRSA Resources, and did clear up quite a few tasks that were pending, mostly in the MRSA Awareness department. I tend to put that off in favor of the education area, so today was great progress. I also made some neat decisions on what to do with the MRSA News blog, as there is already an exceptional resource for MRSA news at MRSAWatch - I am going to focus on US news on my blog, as that will fit in a good bit better with our mission, and will not be a weak facsimile of MRSAWatch. I’m also working up a logo.
I must go get a buggy whip or something for feeding time, I am taking my life in my own hands each afternoon when I go feed, as we own the biggest bunch of chow hound equines and bovines on the planet. I nearly got kicked by Oprah yesterday–it is like a shark feeding frenzy down there, I swear. Picture 3 grown cows (one a huge longhorn!), with babies, 5 donkeys, one baby, one fairly calm horse and one big HOG horse that whips all the others off of all the food. And me. Yikes. Gets a bit scarier each evening.
Ok, it is ridiculously late AGAIN, I must go to bed. Nighty night!
A little more morning mush for the sleepy brain…

Joe Normal 39 % Nerd, 30% Geek, 17% Dork |
|
For The Record:A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored less than half in all three, earning you the title of: Joe Normal. This is not to say that you don’t have some Nerd, Geek or Dork inside of you–we all do, and you can see the percentages you have right above. This is just to say that none of those qualities stand out so much as to define you. Sure, you enjoy an episode of Star Trek now and again, and yeah, you kinda enjoyed a few classes back in the day. And, once in a while, you stumble while walking down the street even though there was nothing there to cause you to trip. But, for the most part, you look and act fairly typically, and aren’t much of an outcast. |
