Sorry I could not be at the awards ceremony. I created the show to express my affection and thanks to all of you for such a great year. I am way behind in my writing of thank you notes . . . I hope to catch up soon. Thank you for the party and the gifts and the cards and the letters and the email . . . Thank you for everything! I hope the slideshow illustrates that we all had a great year!!!!!!Pictures came out fuzzy on Youtube; i am trying to fix that.

New Rule

New rule = you have to give yourself a new alias related to a kid's toy or cartoon character.

I suggest "Rainbow Brite" for Aedin.

"My Little Pony" for Kieran . . .

=) For today, I'll be Pappa Smurf.

This is hilarious! Check it out!

This is really funny! I was watching a show on Niagara Falls with my Dad when this came on. I was laughing so hard, and I really thought I should share it.

Tea, Coffee, or... Something else

If you had to choose between any tea of your choice, coffee, or some other hot beverage - say, hot cocoa or something -, which would you choose (and why if you want to)?

What If You Found A Blank Check?

What would you do if you found a check that had been signed but no value written in?

Would you rip it up?

Would you take it?

How much money would you write in?

What would you do with the money?

Would you tell anyone?

Cartoon Characters

Make a cartoon character!! Describe it and choose a name for it! Keep it appropriate though. :D

Whizz-Bang - A Fun English-Related Word Game

This is one of my favorite e-mail games. It's called Whizz-Bang (as you can see), and this is how you play.
First you start off with a word; say, "bank", for example. On each turn, you can make ONE alteration. You can swap a letter (ex. make "sank"), drop a letter (ex. make "ban"), trade letter places/ move a letter (ex. make "pot" from "top", or "stank" from "tanks"), or add a letter (ex. make "blank").

In the case where there is absolutely NO valid word in the universe (i.e. not one you just made up, solely for the sake of being a doofus) left to use, start over with another good word. Please, just don't go and do that randomly when you can still make words. If you really want to keep it up, use a dictionary or Google or something (bad punctuation/grammar, I noticed). Oh, and of course, use your judgement in the words you use/make. Let's keep it appropriate, please.

Thanks, and have fun!
