How Smart Is Your Right Foot

Things like this frustrate yet intrigue me...........
You have to try this.
It will boggle your mind and it will keep you trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't. It's pre-programmed in your brain!

1) While sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2). Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction.

And there's nothing you can do about it! You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you've not already done so.

Pass this on to your friends to frustrate them too.

One Of My New Favorite Sites

I stumbled upon this website that mocks some of the funniest/bizarre/strange videos circulating about the wide world web. It is a gem of a site that I had to share.

1.) With summer produce in full swing, there's an abundance of fresh, gorgeous fruits and veggies to cook with. You won't want to miss these recipes featuring corn & tomatoes and zucchini.

2.) My friend Doug sent me this video of this quick change cartoon comedian. He does impressions of stars and singers using these paper costumes that transform from one person into another.






3.) My brother-in-law introduced me to Kulula. Kulula is a low-cost South-African airline that doesn't take itself too seriously. What a pity they don't fly internationally.
Their Head office is situated in Johannesburg. Kulula airline attendants make an effort to make the in-flight "safety lecture" and announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported:

- On a Kulula flight, (there is no assigned seating, you just sit where you want) passengers were apparently having a hard time choosing, when a flight attendant announced, "People, people we're not picking out furniture here, find a seat and get in it!"

- On another flight with a very "senior" flight attendant crew, the pilot said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants."

- On landing, the stewardess said, "Please be sure to take all of your belongings.. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have."

- "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane."

- "Thank you for flying Kulula. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business
as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."

- As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Durban Airport , a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"

- After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in the Karoo , a flight attendant on a flight announced, "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted."

- From a Kulula employee: " Welcome aboard Kulula 271 to Port Elizabeth . To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised."
- "In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are travelling with more than one small child, pick your favourite."

- Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but we'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Kulula Airlines."

- "Your seats cushions can be used for flotation; and in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments."

- "As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses.."

- And from the pilot during his welcome message: "Kulula Airlines is pleased to announce that we have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!"

- Heard on Kulula 255 just after a very hard landing in Cape Town : The flight attendant came on the intercom and said, "That was quite a bump and I know what y'all are thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault, it was the asphalt."

- Overheard on a Kulula flight into Cape Town , on a particularly windy and bumpy day: During the final approach, the Captain really had to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to The Mother City. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"

- Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."

- An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a "Thanks for flying our airline. He said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment.
Finally everyone had gotten off except for a little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sir, do you mind if I ask you a question?" "Why, no Ma'am," said the pilot. "What is it?" The little old lady said, "Did we land, or were we shot down?"

- After a real crusher of a landing in Johannesburg , the attendant came on with, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we will open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal.."

- Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today.. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of Kulula Airways."

- Heard on a Kulula flight. "Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish to smoke, the smoking section on this airplane is on the wing.. If you can light 'em, you can smoke 'em."

- A plane was taking off from Durban Airport . After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 293, non-stop from Durban to Cape Town , The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight.. Now sit back and relax... OH, MY GOODNESS!" Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier. While I was talking to you, the flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!"

A passenger then yelled, "That's nothing. You should see the back of mine!"


4.) Sergey Larenkov’s photographs. This guy uses a technique where he combines vintage and contemporary photographs of the same precise location. His photographs, focusing on the World War II era, are both spooky and stunning.

5.) This cute picture......."Who's that Mommy?"



6.) I like this 3 minute film that features words that blend seamlessly, and even with such brief snippets of human life, Words becomes somehow poignant to watch.

Cleaning My Email Account....The First Ten

I have been neglecting my Emails and tend to skim over them very quckly to deals with the ones of immediate need and save the others for my enjoyment later. However, later never seems to come. Today I am on a mission to clean and share things I find in my mailbox that are amusing or useful or picque my interest. By doing this I will share with you the type of things that arrive in my mailbox that I don't delete.

1.) Kraft Recipes.......I love this webssite and their seasonal magazine

2.) Travelzoo......works with over 900 travel companies to find deals and deliver them to subscribers via its newsletters and its websites.

3.) From my Dear Brother-In-Law......A butterfly just for you.

4.) The Source $10,000 Cash Giveaway Contest.....I never win these things.

5.) Aerie......My favorite undergarment store has a good sale on and their tanktops are my favorite.....Buy 1/ get 1 50% off.

6.) Kitchen stuff plus.......Pick one item and pay $10.00........I would go for the apothocary set or the mandolin slicer but I won't because I need them both like I need a hole in my head.

7.) This book sounds interesting........Holy shit......I will be guarded now when conversing with someone for the first time (two people meeting for the first time will lie to each other an average of three times in the first 10 minutes).

8.) I learned my airmiles balance is .......2,053......what should I do with them? Any suggestions?

9.) Recipe Newsletter from here. I have a folder that I store them in to peruse later and like I said earlier.......later never comes. I have such grand intentions.

10.) A very important message about Gonorrhea or something like it from my friend Paul.

Information about Gonorrhea Lectim

The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulentstrain of this old disease. The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim. It'spronounced "Gonna re-elect 'em," and it is a terrible disease.

The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior involving putting your cranium up your rectum. Many victims contracted it in 2008 when they re-elected Dalton McGunity's Liberals in Ontario and are now starting to realize how destructive this sickness is.

It's sad because Gonorrhea Lectim is easily cured with a new drug just coming on the market called Votemout. You take the first dose in 2012 and don't engage in such behavior again; otherwise, it could become permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we know it in Ontario

Please pass this important message on to all those bright folk you really care about.

Christian Propaganda

Isn't it ironic.............that as I viewed these examples of bad Christian propaganda all I could say was OMG!

Abbey Road Webcam

Check out this live coverage of the famous crossing. Any time of day or night you can find Spanish tourists re-enacting the Beatles album cover, and angry drivers who just want to get where they're going.

Lets Share Secrets

Today, I thought I’d do the same thing: share some silly things that I don’t normally share. My one condition? You MUST do the same in the comments. Deal? Deal.

I usually screen all my phone calls, unless it’s work, my family or someone I know I want to talk to. I know, I’m awful

When I talk to someone who doesn’t “get” blogging and I mention something that a fellow blogger has done, or something I’ve read on a blog, I just say, “My friend…” It’s easier.

This video makes me cry....


I do not know how to text or do anything on a cellphone except for dial the number and place the call.

I check out the footwear of the ladies in bathroom stalls next to me.

I match my underwear and bra to my outfit.

I like to sit in my car by myself and listen to audiobooks

Every time I sneeze while I am driving in the car I am afraid I may hit someone.

Life On An Island

I am a girl that loves her solitude. My mind and spirit crave it and there are times when my life gets a little hectic and busy that I dream of retreating to hideaways...........
Who wouldn't love the idea of living on a tiny windswept island, drinking a cup of tea while the rain batters the windows and scows at the world. Sounds good .....no?

I Love Bath & Bodyworks

I love browing the aisles at Bath & Bodyworks....I am going to chack out these new collections.

Forever Sunshine....... this is being featured as a summer-fall scent, promising to capture "the romance of warm days that linger into cool autumn."
Available now in Shower Gel, Body Lotion, Eau de Toilette, Triple Moisture Body Cream, and Fragrance Mist.

Dark Kiss........ is another Fall scent. It reflects notes of incense, plum, and night musk.

Mosquito Repellant

I'm not a huge fan of bug spray but I definately have a bigger hate on for mosquitos. I would definately like them more if their bites were more productive..........for instance wouldn't it be great if they sucked out fat rather than blood. The mosquitos this year are huge so I may have to give in to the use of spray. I think I might give this a try.
Does anyone know if this works?

Life Is Too Short

Staring at the calendar I just realized that 2010 is half over. It feels like a few months ago that I was in Disney world but that was 3 years ago. It made me realize that life is definitely too short to........



Hold grudges
To go to bed early......unless you have to
Wear uncomfortable shoes
Be hung up about your hips/upper arms/boobs/thighs
Try to please everyone
Hang out with people that don't realize how awesome you are
Go to a job that you hate
Avoid that food that you love
Put off doing that thing that excites you
Miss the opportunity to spend time with loved ones
