Silly
Friday, 10. July 2009, 17:55:51
Work - work and more work. Yep keeping myself as busy as a one legged man at a butt kicking contest. Hopping from one place to another, spreading joy wherever I am. 
Okay now that you're busy laughing, I'll continue on.
Reading the papers, it seems our (ahem) beloved leaders have decided they can't do much about the world economies but they can control the weather! Alrighty then, lets have a couple of more degrees heat around here and a lot more sunshine please. Does this mean countries can have their very own individual thermostats?
Speaking of weather, it seems today is the one day of summer this area is going to get. Yes folks, Ottawa has packed summer into a 24 hour period and today is it. Average temperatures so far have been way below normal, rain fall is up and the lack of sunlight has led to an increase in the use of tanning salons.
Tanning beds have one city councillor here up in arms. Alex Cullen thankfully not my councillor wants to put a ban on under 18 year olds using these tanning devices. He's also responsible for wanting to put hand sanitizers on the buses, attempting to ban trade shows at city owned facilities, increases to bus fares after a 51 day strike by drivers; the list could go on but you get the idea.
Pictures are worth a thousand words.
It would take a lot more than that to explain some of the photos over at Awkward Family Photos. We've all got them stuffed away in shoe boxes hidden under beds or buried in closets, why not show them off!
Got an hour to kill? Then head on over and enjoy the photos! Seeing other people looking silly might make you feel better about the photos you've got hidden from from sight.
Who the F#%K dresses up as a bear?
Speaking of family life
I found this really interesting site Why Not, Right? The site is devoted to the joys of parenting by obviously pretty bad parents.
Around here, you need a license to have a dog but it seems anyone can have kids. Looking at some of the photos I've got to wonder if this is the norm these days.
God help us all.
It's Friday I'm out of here - Bluesfest is up and running.

Why not put a ban on underage kids using tanning devices? It's not really healthy, especially for the young organisms that are still in development.
Bad parenting. Yes that is one of the biggest problems now. Everybody has rights to do stupid stuff, but when you try to stop them, then there are procedures.

a great day today but it will be over 90F for the weekend... Suntan makes you look healthy but it is the first step to skin cancer, not so healthy if you ask me! As for parenting...the moment I became a parent I realized, books and rules are useless, love, and communication it is the key for a great parenting
thanks for sharing!

I got a picture of an Opera member dressed as big Bird! ROFL if that sends a "straight" signal ever!

The links I find are readily available to all if you look for the right thing.
I like the photos - simply because I've got a few of those hidden in a closet as well. Always good to know I'm not the only one.

I was always the smart one - I had the camera!
Oh I could be so evil, but I've embarrassed my kids enough over the years.
