Death Trap



Olivia has a fish...alive and well.

Owen has a fish...alive and well.

Morgan has had two fish...both dead.

Then her dad got her a little swimmy frog yesterday....dead.

It didn't even last a whole day.

There is no explaining it, Morgan has simply had bad luck in the fish/amphibian pet department.

As we were discussing this yesterday, amidst major bawling, she proclaimed that everything she gets dies and perhaps it is time for her to just get "another kind of pet".

I told her we could get her another little frog today and it would be fine.

"But I want THAT frog!  Another one won't be the same.  Wahhhhhhh!!!"

"I'm sure we can find one that looks just the same, you'll see." I tried to soothe her.

She just looked at me with big tears in her eyes and wailed, "But it won't have the same personality!"

Apparently she liked the way this one swam.

Nevertheless, we are going to try to find a frog today with a great personality.

Let us know if you know any.

My Two Cents....


Listen.  Politics are stupid.  But I have something to say.

Okay, several somethings.

Obama is not the devil.

I don't care if he is Muslim...it doesn't matter to me.

I don't believe he is trying to take down America.

I don't care if he was born in Hawaii or Hati.

Doesn't matter.

What does matter is that while Obama may be a nice guy he is not a good President.

He doesn't know what he is doing and he doesn't know how to make things happen.

Plus, I do believe his ideas are fundamentally wrong.



Mitt Romney is not a god.

I don't care if he is Mormon....it doesn't matter to me.

I don't believe he only cares about rich people.

I don't care if he was born in Mexico or Michigan.

Doesn't matter.

What does matter is that while Mitt Romney may seem like an "out of touch with the little man" kind of guy, he would make a fantastic President.

He knows what he is doing and he knows how to make things happen and he has a very impressive track record to prove it.

Plus, his ideas are quite good.

I have never been so certain that a man as President can actually make good things happen for our country.

Then I read this by Ann Romney, Mitt Romney's wife:

“Four years ago, I was definite about one thing: I would never do it again,” she said of her husband’s failed 2008 campaign. “Mitt said, you say that after every pregnancy. All the women out there know what I’m talking about.” 
When he broached the subject again, she said she was reluctant. Before she was going to endure another campaign, she asked him to answer one question: “Can you fix it?” When he answered yes, she was in.“ 
"He has the ability to find the core of the problem and then figure out how to fix it,” said Ann Romney.

Can you fix it?  ....  Yes.

America, if you're smart you will vote for Mitt Romney.

He is our only hope for this sinking ship.
