save the owls

Fort Edward Development in Grasslands
A large subdivision has been proposed to be built in the Fort Edward Grasslands Important Bird Area. At the public hearing on May 14, 2007, the Fort Edward Town Board voted to send the proposed law back to the Planning Board for further consideration and possible revision. Why is it money comes before Gods creatures..We all know it wont be long before the decision is made to take the owls home away in place of affordable living for us..

State environmental officials have told the town of Fort Edward that the planned Killian's View subdivision could decimate the town's population of endangered short-eared owls.

A letter to the town dated May 4, from Kenneth Kogut, regional wildlife manager with the state Department of Environmental Conservation, states that construction of the subdivision could result in an increased number of deaths among both the endangered short-eared owls and northern harrier, which is a threatened species in New York state.

So why even talk about it...Just find another place to build...

Do you agree?

2007-05-21T17:31:00.000-05:00

I didn't take any of those pictures...I went hunting for those places....Found them all..You should try it...get on line and find local pictures and go out and try and find the place that person stood to take that picture....

2007-05-21T16:56:00.000-05:00

What's the difference between a novel and a book?

How old are you before it can be said you died of old age?

If nobody buys a ticket to a movie do they still show it?

If someone owns a piece of land, do they own it all the way to the center of the earth?

If you have a cold hot pocket, is it just a pocket?

If humans evolved from monkey's/apes, why are they still here?

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

Why is the show called unsolved mysteries? if they were solved they wouldn't be mysteries.

Do penguins have knees?

Why is it said that an alarm clock is going off when really its coming on?

How come people tell you not to stand in front of an emergency exit when if there was an emergency surely you would run through it?

Why did Sally sell seashells on the seashore when you can just pick them up anyway?

In libraries, do they put the bible in the fiction or non-fiction section?

Why are both of Spongebob's parents round like sea sponges while he is square like a kitchen sponge?

Does a two-humped camel store more water than a one-humped camel?

If you pamper a cow, do you get spoiled milk?

Why is it that if someone yells "duck" they are helping you, but if they yell "chicken" they are insulting you?

If the FBI breaks your door down do they have to pay for it?

If they have angel food cake on earth, do they have people food cake in heaven?

If you fart and burp at the same time, would it make a vacuum in your tummy?

Do they call a fortune teller who cant see a "blind seer"?
Why do you put two cents in when its only a penny for your thoughts?

Can you cry underwater?

Happy easter

2007-04-08T18:26:00.000-05:00

I hope everyone had a wonderful easter...
I know we did.....now if only the sugar filled kids will go to bed..
I love the holidays for so many reasons..
The kids are what makes them fun...But it's always sad to see them end...

The Night Before Easter

2007-04-07T17:53:00.000-05:00

'Twas the night before Easter. All was calm and laid back.
Fred, the mouse in the kitchen, snarfed down a late snack.
The eggs were all dyed but still drippy and sticky...
To be honest, they looked just a little bit icky.
There were big jelly beans, chocolate bunnies and such,
And as Fred stuffed his face, he sighed, "This is too much!"
Phil and Rose were in bed watching late night TV,
While munching saltines with low-sodium Brie.

Then a sudden commotion rang out in the night.
It shook Phil and Rose, really gave them a fright.
Phil's hair stood on end, and his eyes bugged out big...
Rose whipped off the covers and knocked off her wig.

They lunged to the window, yanked open the blinds...
What they saw was amazing; it boggled their minds:
Across the night sky, with a noise like the dickens,
Soared a minivan drawn by eight overgrown chickens!

At the wheel sat a bunny -- cute, fuzzy and fat --
In designer blue jeans and a Panama hat.
Like a speeding space shuttle, those chickens they flew,
As the van driver called to each hen in his crew:

"Now, Ashley! Now, Sheila! Now, Kelsey and Bo!
On Bethany, Liza! On Daphne, on Flo!"
The van made its landing lickety-split ...
Nearly wiped out the shrubs and the barbecue pit!

Then up on the roof, much to Phil's consternation,
They squawked of egg prices and space navigation.
They made so much noise that Phil started to stammer,
"If you guys don't shut up, we'll get thrown in the slammer!"

Fuzzy hopped down the chimney, amidst all this racket,
And emerged from the fireplace, adjusting his jacket.
This bunny was chic, he had class, he had flair ..
Not your average bozo, not your typical hare.

His ears were enormous; his huge overbite
Was right under a nose like a pink neon light.
His manner was smooth, he was hip, he was cool;
This floppy-eared bunny was no fuzzy fool.

"While I'm here," he smiled, "Everybody relaxes ...
I'm not selling storm windows, won't audit your taxes.
I'm just here to bring you some fun and delight.
Eat, drink, and be merry! Let's party tonight!"

So they sipped diet soda and swapped silly jokes,
Those birds and their bunny just being plain folks.
Then flop-ears said, "Hey, friends, we've had quite a ball,
But my chickens and I are now due in St. Paul!"

He crossed both his eyes. Then he wiggled one ear,
And he yelled to his chicken team, "We're outta here!"
As the minivan rose in the 3 a.m. sky,
He called out, "Later, Phil! And to you, Rose, good-bye!"

As he sped out of sight, his two friends heard him say,
"Happy Easter to all! Have a beautiful day!"

A Cat's Diary

2007-04-05T18:40:00.000-05:00

Day 751: My captors continue to torment me with bizarre dangling objects. They eat lavish meals in my presence while I am forced to subsist on dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of eventual escape -- that, and the satisfaction I get from occasionally ruining some piece of their furniture.

I fear I may be going insane. Yesterday, I ate a houseplant. Tomorrow I may eat another.

found this

2007-04-04T07:20:00.000-05:00

feel free to put your self on the map..it's over there on the right at the top..I think it's cool but it doesn't take much to amuse me..

Lost in translation

2007-04-03T19:10:00.000-05:00

Here are several funny stories about bad translations and how they led to massive embarrassment: some of these listed below were sent to me by one of my fellow classmates. She said she found them on line...unsure what site...if anyone finds them let me know..I would love to find more.

Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux were embarrassed to find lackluster sales when they used the following slogan in an advertising campaign in America: “Nothing sucks like an Electrolux.”

In Italy, a campaign for Schweppes Tonic Water translated the name into Schweppes Toilet Water. Zesty!

Coke in China? The name Coca-Cola in China was first rendered as Ke-kou-ke-la. Unfortunately, the Coke company did not discover until after thousands of signs had been printed that the phrase means “bite the wax tadpole” or “female horse stuffed with wax” depending on the dialect. The Coca-Cola corporation then researched 40,000 Chinese characters and found a close phonetic equivalent, “ko-kou-ko-le,” which can be loosely translated as “happiness in the mouth.” Much better.

That’s One Amazing Soft Drink. In Taiwan, the translation of the Pepsi slogan “Come alive with the Pepsi Generation” came out as “Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead.”

The old Kentucky Fried Chicken slogan “finger-lickin’ good” came out as “eat your fingers off.” in Chinese. Whoops.

A HUG

2007-04-02T17:16:00.000-05:00

A friend sent me this.....cute...

2007-03-30T18:32:00.000-05:00

Just wanted to put some more pics on here of KNUT....
Too cute for words

hope he grows to big and strong..
Started out so small and helpless...depending on humans...poor thing.

9 going on 20

2007-03-30T18:18:00.001-05:00

the date on the pics are wrong..oooppppsss

She's turning 9

2007-03-23T12:42:00.000-05:00

Catherine is turning 9 and thinks shes sooooooo grown up..What fun.. Heres the list of things she wants for her birthday:

good morning

2007-03-21T06:53:00.000-05:00

This little guy is KNUT. Theres this debate going on right now about if he should be raised by humans or just be let to die.

He was abandoned by his mother in a zoo and his brother has already passed. What do you think? They say he is doing great but so called animal experts say it would be better for him to die. That is all the info that one artical gave. No facts as to why he would be better dead. Very imformative. I think if he is doing well they should keep raiseing him. But then again I'm not an expert.

I'm getting old

2007-03-19T19:05:00.000-05:00

At work today we were talking about the silly things we did as kids when somehow we started on old cartoons. My all time favorite was captain caveman

One of my fellow co-workers says "who was captain caveman?" Me and my fellow elderly co-workers just look at each other. How could anyone not know captain caveman? I mean really it was only yesterday I was laying on my belly on the living room floor begging mom to let me stay up to finish watching.

This girl who dose not know the plaesure of captain caveman is 22. That's only ten years difference. How could poor captain caveman be forgotten in just ten years time. Who decided the lovable hair ball should be taken off the air. If you know.....well tell me so I can track them down and hurt him...I want the captain back along with rocky and Bullwinkle and woody woodpecker.

Heres one for EBEZP

2007-03-18T20:19:00.000-05:00

If you haven't read the random frog joke head over to WILKO NEWS and do so..

Ok EBEZP it's not a frog joke but I think you'll like it.

There this tiny village were these little creatures called TRIDS live. They get their food from over a mountain past this mean giant. Ever time a TRID trys to pass the giant he just kicks them back to the village.

Getting to the point of starvation the TRIDS send a nurse TRID, a doctor TRID, a lawyer TRID, and even a kid TRID. All get kicked back to the village.

Finally desperate they send a rabbi. Surely the giant wouldn't kick a man of God.

Rabbi goes past the giant and returns to the village with food. Wondering why he was let to pass the rabbi goes back to ask.

The giant tells him "SILLY RABBI KICKS ARE FOR TRIDS."

another snow storm

2007-03-17T17:22:00.000-05:00

I use to like my job. Really I did..Then we get yet another snow storm and I get to stay at work. For those who don't know I work at Hampton Inn and Suites in lovely Lake George NY. So when I say stay at work I mean I get to get a room and sleep there. It's hard to get a good nights rest when your already at work. Hate it. Then to top it off we had a basket ball team in house. Teenagers. Oh joy. They were up all night running up and down the halls with no one telling them to stop but me. Had to come out of my room at midnight and ask them to please stop slamming doors so I could sleep. They did about after another hour. So long story short I'm home at last and posting. Post more later. Oh yeah we got 12 inches. Of snow I should say..heee heee

What are we doing

2007-03-15T16:48:00.000-05:00

What are we doing? Does anyone really think about it?
With the melting of polar ice caused from global warming the polar bear already began to loose the ability to follow eon's long migration patterns that have kept them in good shape for centuries

because of this they are already seeing fewer and fewer young born in the wild and much lighter birthweighs in the ones that ARE born

Extremely sad testiment to our brave new world and all of its grand and glorious accomplishments---- huh ??

Can't wait till summer again.

2007-03-14T18:13:00.001-05:00

ture but strange

2007-03-14T07:21:00.000-05:00

1....

Who is drunker

On Saturday, police broke up a disturbance between a couple arguing over which one was drunker. Both were arrested and taken to the Hospital for treatment of injuries to their heads.

The police are charging them with disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace, but not assault.

They each injured themselves and not the other.

It seems, according to police and witnesses, that the couple were taking turns bashing their heads into the drywall walls and the wooden door of their apartment in order to prove they were so drunk that they couldn't feel the pain.

2...

VIP

A chauffeur worked for a woman who took her cat with her on rides.

During one trip, the driver dropped her at a mall before he gassing up. The cat remained in the car, laying down on the top of the limousine's back seat.

The service station's attendant often glanced at unusual passenger. Finally, he asked: "Sir, is that cat someone important?"

3....

I need money!!!!

According to a database maintained by Academic Guidance Services, there are 3,000 scholarships earmarked for golf caddies, newspaper carriers, glee clubbers, and band members.

Juanita College in Pennsylvania gives grants to needy left-handers.

Parents whose children were born on June 12, 1979 can plan ahead to apply for a scholarship to the Rochester Institute of Technology in honor of the school's 150th anniversary.

Bucknell University gives grants to students who do not use alcohol, tobacco, or narcotics and don't engage in strenuous activities.

A judge in Seattle uses the fines he collects from prostitutes to finance scholarships for their reformed sisters who want to return to school.

what a question.

2007-03-13T08:43:00.001-05:00

My daughter who is turning 9 asked me why are people here. How the heck am I going to answer that one. If you think about it that's going to be simple question compared to some of the stuff I'm going to have to talk to her about one of these days. Any help out there. I told here we are here for each other. She just says ohhhhh. Don't think shes satisfied with my answer.

talk about bored

2007-03-12T13:01:00.000-05:00

Standing here at the front desk at work bored out of my mind. Yawn yawn.......thank god I have the next two days off. post more than....

A whole lot of nothing about a whole lot of nothing

2007-03-09T23:13:00.000-05:00

A whole lot of nothing about a whole lot of nothing

2007-03-09T22:04:00.001-05:00

It's too bad I can't get this picture to fit right. Anyway this was last summer at the playground with my kids. My brother and his friend, who I almost cut out of the picture,were dragged along. They enjoyed it. Oh the memories...My sister and her kids were there. We don't do enough of that anymore. The kids are grow up knowing they have cousins but never see them. Sometime parents forget whats important to the little ones. We suck.

Oh yeah. I'm the one in the gray sweater. I'm so cute...look at me...no really look...God sure did something right...you can agree..it's ok..

I love polar bears...

2007-03-07T19:08:00.003-05:00

I have always had a love for these guys.I don't know what it is about them. maybe its the fact that they could be the only thing on the ice and they are ok. they don't need anything but what god gave them. just love them

One day I will see one..no zoo..i will see one in his home...

Does that seem like an unrealistic goal to anyone....unabtainable...un reachable..impossible...and all those other bad words?

getting ready for a busy week.

2007-03-06T18:55:00.000-05:00

I have so much to do this week I'm not sure where to start. So I decided to do the smart thing....wing it...no I made a schedule. Sometimes running home like work is no fun. It's work. he he. Anyway I made this mock schedule up and put everything I needed to do in order based on priority. Discovered that 24 hours is not enough and a few UN important things needed to go. So after taking out sleep I decided getting it all done will work out after all. But that brings me back to listed based on priority. Sleep was at the to. I do love my sleep. So I concluded.....nothing gets done and I get rested.

Now that's a schedule..

Time to get started...night..ZZZZZZZZ

Finally got a picture to show. Holy cow....Anyway I'm glad I figured it out. This was taken of me at work durring a snow storm. We were traped there...good thing i work in a hotel...I was trying to clean up some snow from under a ceiling tile...real big problem...when it comes down on me. My boss knowing the mess I was about to make takes this breath taking picture of me. Looks more like I'm dancing on a table holding a drink.

ever just wish the day would end

2007-03-04T20:11:00.000-05:00

I just want to get on with another crappy day already. I mean really, is it too much to ask for this hell of a day to end already. Why should I have to keep trudging through it. I just want to wake up on the wrong side of the bed again tomorrow and get on with having a crappy day. That's my out look anyway. Partly crappy with an 80% chance of blah. wish me luck.

a whole new found respect

Work went well today. I am the executive housekeeper of a Hampton inn and suites. Work in the winters slow down a bit and so do hours for my housekeepers. We work in a resort town that has snowmobile trials and a winter carnival. Until we get snow there are no guest. Everyone gets in winter mode and everything slows down. The housekeepers work just as hard because I make them. If they slow down we wont be ready when summer hits the lake. We finally got a storm and everyone was thrilled. Thrilled because we were looking forward to the snowmobile trails to open up so we could get better business. That's what happened. The problem was we thought we were ready.

There are 93 rooms in the hotel and 6 housekeepers to do the job. When we are booked up there's no way the math adds up. I, according to policy can't ask them to do any more than 16 rooms in an 8 hour shift. 16 times 6 is 96. It would work but someone needs a day off. I never have all 6 on at once. So we ended up booked. Great. We worked so hard to get the house turned over for the next days arrivals. booked again. Another day of staying late for me and 2 housekeepers getting over time. Finally after 4 days in a row of this my day off comes around. Not sure if I'm going to be able to take it off or not due to the quitting of my assistant I was not in the best of moods. Boss man steps up to the plate. joy joy

Today. Back form my days off to get everyone asking what they can do to help the keepers and I. I had no clue why till our managers meeting. The boss man aparentaly not having a great time covering me asks me how the hell I've been doing it the last few days. I told him all it took was me staying till almost 8 pm ever night. He said if i need any help with anything to just ask him. I have him at my disposal.

Feels great when someone walks in your shoes and realizes they don't fit.

day off what a mess

2007-02-26T18:39:00.000-05:00

I get a day off of work and It's spent at home doing home work. Collage is so much fun. I know that no one ever said it was going to be easy but this is insane. I guess after you turn a sertan age it;s hard to break old habits that interfere with things like studying. Most of my courses require allot of reading. Well guess what, I hate reading. Not only do I hate it I never remember a darn thing i read. I usually fall asleep while I read. I don't know why. It would take me month to get through one book. So I hate reading. Yet I love sleep. Silly to hate reading when the out come is what it is.

Ok long story short. Had to read three chapters today and take a quiz about them. I just took the quiz without finishing the reading. That is so irresponsible. I hope that I pass. It's a good thing the grade for the quiz is worth less than the written assignment. That I know i did good on.

Besides school I spent allot of time trying to fix my computer. Someone looked at something that resulted in a virus. That was a nightmare. I just got the darn thing and no support with ways to fix it. Here i am a computer Dumbo trying to fix it. Guess what...I did. Don't ask how but it only cost me 29.95. That's right only 29.95. You too can solve all your virus problems at the small fee of 29.95.

I shouldn't complain so darn much. Life is really good besides all the silly things i let ruin my day. Jobs going great, kids are healthy and happy, and so am I. So why spend it crying. Someone should kick me.

another day of joy

2007-02-21T20:57:00.000-05:00

I woke up to kids asking me if they could play the x box. Guess what time that was? 6am. When there is no school you would think they would want to keep mom in a really good mood seeing as they knew they were going to spend all day with her. but no, we have to start of with please moms and why nots. I just take a breath remember that there was once a time that I too was a little bugger and wanted what I wanted when I wanted it. Then I try and remember that if they don't hurry up and have as much fun as they can the day will be over. Then what? Days gone, its bed time and they only played for 13 hours instead of say 10. So to make this short, I got out of bed, made them eat breakfast first, and made them pamper me with comments like your the best mommy in the world. then I let them play. Almost did'nt have the heart to tell them we had to go do laundry. Almost. The truth is i enjoyed it. The look on their little faces. Priceless. That's about the extent of my day today. joy. no one should be aloud to have this much fun. its a sin.

OK day two

2007-02-19T21:30:00.000-05:00

Nothing new but classes. Life in online collage is not easy. I have never been a highly motivated person and never seem to complete any task played out before me. That is changing a little bit. I can now pay a bill on time. The collectors love me. That was always my goal you know .I wanted so badly for the bill collectors to just adore me. I did it. I accomplished something. Sadly they don't call anymore. Guess they were never really my friends after all.
Anyway staying on the point (like i have one). Online classes.
I just posted the of my assignments, all last minute in a hurry like. Really need to find some type of motivation. You would think just the idea that I could soon have a degree at my young age of 32 would be enough. If only I could just get younger instead of older. Then i would have all the time in the world to put this off again. I'm really who want to be successful in life anyway. It's too much like work.

what to write about

2007-02-17T21:05:00.000-05:00

had myself this online diary once. hated it. decided after people started getting needed to stop. By needy I mean people I have never meet in my life starting to send me emails wanted to know when i was going to post again. Really, I was thinking. It's not like I'm some great writer bursting with creativity. I was just putting stuff down about my uneventful days with out ever spell checking. What so great about that. My life is not one of adventure and excitement. My life is simply life. Dragging on each day to a painful end with fleeting sleep. Yawn . So I guess this will be pretty much the same thing. I just enjoy writing. I love putting the strange things in my head down someplace. I don't care if anyone reads. I just love doing it. I also don't care what anyone thinks. Well maybe i do a little. I love writing and getting some kind of deep debate going on. I love the others point of view. Seeing things through someone Else's eyes is like stepping out of your self. A door opens up and your someone else for a minute. fun fun. I think its time to end this thing for now.
