Strong wind blows dog away....


Gone with the wind: Chihuahua blown away



Report: Six-pound puppy found a mile away from where gust sent her flying

This news story made me laugh. I hope I am not heartless for thinking it is funny.   Can't you just picture the dog flying through the air? Was it raining cats and dogs?  Wah Waah.  I am sure the people and the poor dog were scared when it happened. I am glad it ends happily.

Talking about Concentration Is the Key - MSN Encarta

Great article about concentration, which I sorely need to work on. I have noticed that over the last 10 years my concentratio, focus, or attention span has really gone down hill. I blame the computer (gaming and spending time on the internet), love and sex.  Haha  No, really I am going ot work on building my concentration this summer, as well as some other study skills.

Studying community psych....

I have my community psych exam on Tuesday. I like this quote from my text:

 

"Our personal values about relationships, accountability, social change priorities, and our personal politcal world view all shape our priorities and agenda for community work." Bond, 1989 as quoted in Community Psychology: Linking Individuals and Communities (Dalton, Elias, Wandersam, 2006)

"only doing it for the money."

OMG, OMG, This is hilarious. OK, read this article. It had me and my husband laughing our asses off.



and here is the source



Hahahaha - you'd think the couple would have had the neighbor tested BEFORE they let him do the deed (and paid him). And the the kicker is .....  the neighbor finds out that his own kids are not his biologically. OMG!!!

Psychopaths

Why Do Some People Become Psychopaths?

 


 

Wow, see my ideas aren't so crazy after all. Here is an article about psychopaths and how they are not all criminals - that there are psychopaths that can function in society without committinig a 'crime' (as defined by laws, rules and norms). I have held that belief for many, many years now. I have run across a few psycho's in my time and I think there's even more psychopaths around than even researchers realize yet. I would like to see some research done specifically on women psychopaths.

WOW! Liars never cease to amaze me...

Some people lie about anything and everything. It is really childish -definitely shows a lack of maturity and conscience. That's scary! I often wonder how people that get by in life by lying live with themselves but then they don't even think about their actions, do they? Except to wonder why people call them psycho, or unreasonable - but of course it is all everybody elses fault and lack of understanding. Aw. It makes life easier to go around without any personal ethics or integrity, doesn't it?

This guy sucks....

BIGTIME. I am posting an article about a guy who owes half a million dollars in child supprt on 14 kids. It is guys like him that give fathers a bad name. What an ass. He is full of excuses and BS. Why do people mess around and have kids they don't want? Or can't take care of? The woman are almost as bad - how you gonna' mess around with an idiot like this. C'mon, there had to be some indication this guy is bad news. At least use some birth control. I am glad they put his pic in with the article too - maybe women will recognize him next time.

Love this website - good for when you need a laugh...

Check out this website - http://www.fmylife.com/

 

It is just people posting their embarrassing or messed up moments on the web. Funny stuff for the most part although some of them are unbelievable. Good for when you need a quick laugh or pick me up.

 

This one (among many) cracked me up...

Amazing story - "Dog eats baby goats, survives on remote island"

 

"A pet Australian cattle dog swam to shore after going overboard"


 

Wow, what a tough dog! The most interesting part for me was the personality change from pet to wild dog and back again. It is too bad the dog can't tell it's story.

Just a few more weeks....

Just a few more weeks until this very sucky winter semester is over. I can't wait. Then I will get to write what I want to write for a change! wahoo!! I can't even write what I want in this blog because I have so much crap to do, so I will have to blog later. 

 

My energy has been so low this semester that I am not able to keep up with everything and I miss my blogging. It helps me with my writing all the way around and I haven't even been able to get to it. I have been so frustrated with my school work and academic writing this semester. And my attention span and memory is not there either. The causes - a tough, long cold winter in Michigan, my stinkin' Chronic Fatigue acting up (possibly with some Seasonal Affective Disorder), that damn depression chasing me again, and not being able to keep a BLOG like I would like to. I will have to try harder this spring and summer and definitely nest semester.  

 

Just a few more weeks, and a few more difficult tasks and tests and I will be free.  Also, my husband and I are taking a trip the first week in May so I wil be off work for a few days and I will be able to rest up pool side. I so need a break!

 

 

 

I don't feel sorry for these people...

Somehow I don't feel sorry for these people. They are not on the edge of disaster like many, they have options. GRRR, sometimes articles like this irritate me - it's an article about how the recession affects even well off and rich people. OK, yeah but it doesn't hit them as hard as a middle class or poor person.

 

City hit hard by the recession...

This is a great article about Elkhart, Indiana - a city hit hard by the recession. They lost a lot of their RV factories which left many, many people jobless.
