Hilarious food-related superstitions!

On the Chinese New Year, lettuce is said to bring good fortune.

 

If you see bubbles in your coffee cup, spoon them into your mouth before they burst, and you'll get money from somewhere unexpected. (Like the lawsuit against the coffeehouse that served you the soapy coffee, perhaps?)

 

Everyone knows the superstition of throwing salt over your left shoulder to keep evil spirits away. Well according to Greek folklore, salt can also be used to get rid of unwanted guests. BTW, Greeks also believe that Tuesday the 13th is unlucky, not Friday the 13th.

 

To cure baldness, pour rum on a hairless head. (Note: Do not do this to a baldy without warning.)

 

In some Asian cultures, long noodles represent a long life -- cutting your noodles before eating them is like cutting your life short.

Photo of the day!

Strawberry's from plant city

Behold the glory of the Lepidocyclina!

I have had this rock for two years.




I picked it up while drilling in the Leesburg area. The depth of the rock was approximately 80 feet. The fossils in the rock have always been known to me as potato chips. As of today they have a real identification! . The fossil is a Lepidocyclina. It is from the Ocala Limestone from the Late Eocene.

Life is pain!

Your result for The Personality Defect Test...

Emo Kid

You are 29% Rational, 43% Extroverted, 43% Brutal, and 0% Arrogant.

You are the Emo Kid, best described as a quiet pussy! You tend to be an intuitive rather than a logical thinker, meaning you rely more on your feelings than your thoughts. Not only that, but you are introverted, gentle, and rather humble. You embody all the traits of the perfect emo kid. You are a push-over, an emotional thinker, gentle to the extent of absurdity, and so humble that it even makes Jesus puke. (And Jesus almost never pukes, being immortal and not requiring an act of puke to dispell toxins from his corporeal manifestation.) If you write poetry, you no doubt write angsty, syrupy lines about depression, sadness, and other such redundant states of emo-being that go something like this:

life is a spike / upon which i have impaled mysefl / fuck you dad

So, your personality is defective because you are too gentle, rather underconfident in yourself, decidely lacking in any rational thought, and also a bit too inhibited. Plus, your poetry really upsets your father.

I probably made you cry, didn't I? Fucking Emo Kid.

To put it less negatively:

1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational.

2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted.

3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.

4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.

Compatibility:

Your exact opposite is the Smartass.

Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hippie, the Televangelist, and the Starving Artist.

*

*

If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.

The other personality types:

The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Capitalist Pig: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Smartass: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

Be sure to take my Sublime Philosophical Crap Test if you are interested in taking a slightly more intellectual test that has just as many insane ramblings as this one does!

I am a self-proclaimed pseudo-intellectual who loves dashes. I enjoy science, philosophy, and fart jokes and water balloons, not necessarily in that order. I spend 95% of my time online, and the other 5% of my time in the bathroom, longing to get back on the computer.

This is me after a few.



My coworker and me.


My coworker and me when the bartender takes the picker for us!!

Lets just say it has been a long day and I couldn't find a liquor store. If you need more details let me know and i will dispense them as need. *hiccup* (yes I was really hiccuping throughout this entore post.........

Bed timee

Good night


(yarn spinning on how it is made.....WOW!!!)

Halloween Fun

At work we had a pumpkin carving contest. The pumpkin I carved received the third place trophy.


On Halloween I put Rangers sweater on him that I knitted and we handed out candy. I had to use our backup sweater from last year (the shark sweater) because I was unable to find the one I made him this year. Later I found out Josh had it in the washer.....*sigh*

I Voted!

Kelly John and I went to vote today.

We were suppose to be there around 7 am....however, I woke up late so we did not get there until 8am. The line was already oh so long. Luckily, Kelly and I brought knitting to work on. I worked on two of my Christmas gifts for this year. I would have finished the cowl but i ran out of yarn :( So I got to work on the AWESOME Irish Hiking scarf take 2 (this one is for my dad). Kelly casted on sock in the car and got to about the heel turn before we got into vote. While waiting in line we must have heard the same line at least 20 times. "You are going to be finished with that before you get to the front of the line." Yeah funny the first 10 times....after that we just laughed and agreed. All in all it was a good morning. I know after voting I came home and took a much needed nap.

Ahoy!

My pirate name is:

Black Mary Flint

Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

*sigh* long day.....

Update

My trip to kansas went by very well. I was able to give everyone their last 2 years of christmas present!

Little Don loved his fuzzy feet


We had some pies from the Pie Lady. The blueberry was to DIE for.



I found a local yarn store close to my dad's house and went there the monday before I flew out.

Procrastination is my middle name

I should be:

• Doing laundry
• Cleaning the kitchen (few glasses hanging out and floor needs to be cleaned)
• Packing for my trip

Instead I am:

• Checking people's blogs
• playing around on ravelry
• Not being productive

I did let the cats into their cat aquarium. They are enjoying the nice post rain weather.
I think i am going to get started with the laundry seeing all of the clean towels are sitting in the dryer just begging to be put away!

Last night I did get a bunch of sock yarn wound into cakes at Kelly's house while watching a movie. There were only a few mishaps with not paying enough attention to the yarn. All was saved though. I also brought over my massive bag o' death. Kelly and John got to see the last two years of Christmas present that I will be handing out next week. I also got my dad's kitchen towel knitted up last night. I just need to find a button that is white, blue, or light brown to sew on it!! (Pictures have not been taken of the towel yet. That is also on the to do list) I also noticed that Casey's (FYI: my sisters youngest daughter) scarf would not work for her anymore. So I searched and found Kelly's Paton Decor yarn from the stash box and casted on the mistake rib scarf. I am a few inches into it and so far it is turning out nicely.

Well back to work *sigh*


Update: I found a button for the towel. Will sew it on at knitting tonight (Kelly make sure you bring a needle in case I can not find mine.)

WOW....

I have taken yesterday and today off (sick days). For some reason ALL of the animals have felt the need to be right next to/on me at all times. But they don't care that I am not feeling good.



And here is a quick picture from work on Wednesday. We cam across three of these little guys. Each encounter they seem to be bigger. This was the last one we cam across.

feesh

Let me start off by saying I love short work weeks. It is already like half over! That is something that I need right about now. My knee started acting up on me again last friday. Every now and then it will bug me but not like that. I couldn't walk on it at all. In fact it is still bothering me today. I did not let it affect the fishing trip. It was awesome! I ended up getting 5 fish and a whole lotta sun!!



Josh got to drive the boat!
