Three Stooges movie

So they are making a Three Stooges movie. And here from left to right are your Stooges:

Larry, Curly, & Moe:


Jim Carrey is gaining 40 lbs for the role. And can Sean Penn even be funny? I don't see it. Benicio Del Toro looks too tired to do anything.

Maybe it is because I am a girl, but I always found The Three Stooges to be mean and not funny. I never got it.

Analyzing pics of the pups

My Daisy May...the delicate flower!

Now I just feel bad....I don't have that super cute pic of LulaBelle! May May is so photogenic and getting that type pic of my LulaBelle is harder. Lu has the most beautiful eyes, but I just have not gotten the one. I am going to try and get it now.....in the interim...here is another of the Dais.....

Got a couple of Lu....hold on....here we go....my Lu has the BEST EAR! Daisy May May is super cute. LulaBelle is beyond cute but she is also very regal. Daisy wants to be in your lap and cuddled. LulaBelle will tolerate the cuddling and she will snuggle especially at night, but it is more important that she knows exactly where you are at all times. She follows me and is content just to be in the same room. When I get home, May May just jumps up and down and tries to kiss with her teeth....she is so crazed! Lu is so calm and just looks at me like trying to confirm that it is real that I am home. She is a thinker.....

No matter what pic I take of Lu....she has the crazy eyes. She is so focused...I cannot get that pic that exudes the actual warmth of her eyes.
How about this one of the Lu? I love this one....wet nose!

Here's another of my LulaBelle that I just got:


I think I have it figured out....in every pic of the Dais, her eyes show up as black, but in every pic of the Lu, her eyes show up as super brown and her pupils being so black that she looks so focused that she looks a little nuts. In the real day to day world, her eyes are just as dark as Dais'. Let's compare:
Daisy looking in the camera:

Lu looking in the camera:

Now side by side (you will have to double click on this pic to make it bigger so you can see the color difference):


That is what it is....LulaBelle has browner eyes than the Dais. If Daisy's eyes were as brown then she would have the crazy eyes....but if Daisy has black eyes...does that make her evil? Does that counteract her cuteness? Should I be scared?

Tire Win

From Fail Blog....we get "Tire Win". Love it!

Sleepy Kitty

I warned you guys! I figured out how to do video here! Bless your hearts! There are going to be cute animals and kids and anything I find funny out here now. Sorry! I am such a sucker for animals and humor that may be a little different? You will know it when you see it!

Glad my dogs aren't white and I have no children!

I'm Small

This video completely owns me! Jennifer is the mom of Beth. Here is their story:

Beth was born 14 weeks too early on January 31, 2006 and weighed 1lb and 15 oz. Now a healthy little girl, this blog discusses her journey through the NICU and now as a "graduate" navigating the world with her family at her side and her twin sister, Julianne, watching over her from Heaven. God took Julianne to be an angel at His side but gave us Beth so we would be warmed by her smile.

Jen used to do marketing for our company and I love her to death.....a very strong and smart woman. She was in the hospital for at least a month trying to save Beth. Had to be so still so Beth would live....especially after losing Julianne. Now Beth is 3 years old and just hit 24 pounds. She really is a thriving little girl, but.....just watch the video and use sound....bless it!

Facebook

So now I have caved in and I have a Facebook page....I Facebook....I am on The Facebook....I can be Facebooked.....I am Facebooking......I know other Facebookers....

My friends in the ATL kept encouraging me to sign up.....I saw no reason why...but then my accountant...who I love dearly and have worked with for years because he does our company's accounting and my family's and my friends' accounting.....told me he was in a rock band. Knowing John...I was all please tell me there are pictures. He gave me a website to go to so I could hear some of their music, but I would have to Facebook to see his pic from the early years. He sucked me in and the pic is great and their music was good. He played bass.

You can listen to them at: http://www.reverbnation.com/brankstonekooper

I don't understand the purpose of Facebook yet. I love blogging here more, meh....we will see about the Facebook thing!

Can I just segue to how happy I am that I finally figured out how to put video on the blog? I feel like the smartest person EVER! Proud of me and all you smarter computer people reading this just need to "Shut It"! I know you know how to do this, but it was a wonderful breakthrough for me and I did it by myself! Worked through! Yeah ME!

Extreme Sheep Herding - AWESOME

I am so proud of me (sarcasm) because I am the biggest idiot! I have been over analyzing how to post a video on a blog. I have wrestled and read instructions and made it a hell more complicated than it needed to be for the last hour.....and then the light bulb went off....copy and paste the embed code. I am an idiot! Now that I know how to do this...bless your hearts....there will be more video of fun stuff! I found this one today and it owns me! Gotta love the English sheep herders and their dogs are awesome! I hope this is real. I could not confirm on Snopes, but I will give it the benefit of the doubt just because it is fun and make sure your sound is on.....

Y'all don't forget to check out the blogs to the left of the page under "My Blog List". They are all super funny!

Natasha Richardson - R.I.P.


I am so damn sad right now. I know people die from accidents, but then you wonder why this one? Natasha was so beautiful and so fun and so flew under the radar with her husband, Liam Neeson. They never pimped out their politics or their children....they just loved each other and lived their lives quietly and simply. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes should learn a lesson from them. I don't want to be mean and I don't want anyone to die, but why her? Why are we left we the Lindsay Lohan's and Paris Hilton's of the world? Why take this beautiful Mom and actress? God, I know it is trite, but He does have His reasons.

I keep flashing to the movie "Love Actually" where Liam Neeson played a widower with a son. Then I keep flashing to she and the kids skiing and Liam is making a movie and everything is great and normal and within a couple of hours she is brain dead. The shock of it.....I am sad for them.....say prayers for the kids and for her husband and help them to get through this.....

Thursday

So I have been home in my sick room since Tuesday. Feeling much better now, but still have some chest stuff, but I think the antibiotics are working. I hate the crud! Back to work tomorrow and then resting again this weekend. Just want this gone. It's like the more I move around, the harder it is to breathe. I keep wheezing. I have been sitting here in the big green chair reading a book and I have the windows open and then I think I hear a faint sound of a puppy whining and then I realize it is me and my chest.....nice. Go Z-Pack! Fix it! Going to bed now.....must go seepy-pie!

The party

So the party was great and had so much fun with peeps that I have not seen in a long time. Not to mention all the cool new ones. It is now Tuesday and I still have to put pics here from the party, but I have a germ. My head feels like a bowling ball, my throat hurts, I ache (sp?) everywhere and I just want to die, eyes feel like glue, entire head feels fuzzy, face hurts.....falling apart. Heading to the doc in the morning for a big big shot and antibiotics if he can get me in. Kill me....I have the crud. Blech!

REALLY..... money goes for this?!!!!

Glad this study was not in the US. But I am pretty sure I could have answered that question for free. And as a scientist....your claim to fame is figuring out why belly button lint happens, not curing cancer or MS or anything important. Seriously! Good on you....I am sure your parents are so proud!

AND you can thank me for not posting a pic...not for lack of trying....couldn't find one....

Scientist Solves Mystery of Belly-Button Lint
Tuesday , March 03, 2009
One of life's greatest mysteries has now been solved.

Georg Steinhauser, a young, affable Austrian chemist, spent three years gazing at his own navel — and those of friends and family as well — to discover how exactly we get belly-button lint.

"Abdominal hair is mainly responsible for the accumulation of navel lint," proclaims Steinhauser in the abstract to his paper, presented in the online version of the journal Medical Hypotheses. "Therefore, this is a typically male phenomenon. The abdominal hair collects fibers from cotton shirts and directs them into the navel where they are compacted to a felt-like matter."

That's in keeping with a medium-scale Australian study cited by London's Daily Telegraph, which found that the average bearer of navel lint was "a slightly overweight middle-aged male with a hairy abdomen."

We weren't willing to pay $31.50 for the full journal text, but the Telegraph was, and it came up with further nuggets: "The hair's scales act like a kind of barbed hooks. ... Abdominal hair often seems to grow in concentric circles around the navel."

Steinhauser collected a whopping 503 pieces of navel lint during his research, presumably in his spare time and on his own dime. He also noticed that "old T-shirts or dress shirts produce less navel fuzz than brand new T-shirts."

So now that we know how it forms, the next question is — why?

"Lint might ... fulfill a cleaning function for the navel," writes Steinhauser, a researcher at the Technical University of Vienna.

We eagerly hope Steinhauser next probes the question of ear hair, or perhaps the cause of waxy toe jam.

Hiccup Cure

There are so many theories on the hiccup cure. I just had the hiccups! In the past, I have done the sugar thing, drink backwards out of a glass thing, the hold your breath thing, suck on a lemon thing, coughing, super big breaths....none worked. The ONLY one that works for me is a spoon of half peanut butter and half jelly. Works every time! OR you can just leave the jelly out and take a big spoon of the pb. Both work!

I LOVE the creamy reduced fat Peter Pan! I am deffo a CREAMY pb fan. Combine that with traditional grape jelly, you get the salty/sweet and the perfect hiccup cure!

This makes me sad!


Coast Guard Will Call Off Search for 3 Missing Football Players by Sunset

Tuesday , March 03, 2009

The Coast Guard called off its search for three missing football players at sunset Tuesday.

This makes me happy!

I saw this pic and it just made me happy, then I started to worry about the pic being out there and some idiot trying to catch her. I am going to let that thought go and go back to the happiness. God is pretty cool and awesome with his creatures!


Here's the story:
Charter boat captain Erik Rue, 42, photographed the animal, which is actually an albino, when he began studying it after the mammal first surfaced in Lake Calcasieu, an inland saltwater estuary, north of the Gulf of Mexico in southwestern USA.

Capt Rue originally saw the dolphin, which also has reddish eyes, swimming with a pod of four other dolphins, with one appearing to be its mother which never left its side.

He said: "I just happened to see a little pod of dolphins, and I noticed one that was a little lighter.

"It was absolutely stunningly pink.

"I had never seen anything like it. It's the same color throughout the whole body and it looks like it just came out of a paint booth.

"The dolphin appears to be healthy and normal other than its coloration, which is quite beautiful and stunningly pink.

"The mammal is entirely pink from tip to tail and has reddish eyes indicating it's albinism. The skin appears smooth, glossy pink and without flaws.

"I have personally spotted the pink dolphin 40 to 50 times in the time since the original sighting as it has apparently taken up residence with its family in the Calcasieu ship channel.

"As time has passed the young mammal has grown and sometimes ventures away from its mother to feed and play but always remains in the vicinity of the pod.

"Surprisingly, it does not appear to be drastically affected by the environment or sunlight as might be expected considering its condition, although it tends to remain below the surface a little more than the others in the pod."

Regina Asmutis-Silvia, senior biologist with the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, said: "I have never seen a dolphin coloured in this way in all my career.

"It is a truly beautiful dolphin but people should be careful, as with any dolphins, to respect it - observe from a distance, limit their time watching, don't chase or harass it

"While this animal looks pink, it is an albino which you can notice in the pink eyes.

"Albinism is a genetic trait and it unclear as to the type of albinism this animal inherited."

A close relation of dolphins, the Amazon River Botos, called pink dolphins, live in South America in the Amazon.

I love my kids

One reason is because they have never done this!

I think Mr. Tooth is my friend now?


I have touched on Mr. Tooth before in previous posts. He was full and present today...thanks Mr. Tooth! Went in this afternoon to have my permanent crown installed.

Here is a hint when going to the dentist...if you don't already know this and if you have one.....TAKE YOUR I-POD! It helps! AND if he offers numbing...GO FOR IT!

I am not afraid of the dentist by any means, but today was something. I got in there and in the chair. Dr. Hazouri sat down and just popped off my temp crown like it was nothing. It didn't hurt but it freaked me out how quickly he popped it off.

So because of my grinding/clinching, I have the short molar with a little wiggly nerve. He kept popping the permanent crown on and off. Every time he brought it back to check the fit..for the love...it was a shot of fun.....NOT!

Once we got the fit right, he told me a second before the glue was setting up that if I wanted to be numbed now is the time. Me being an idiot said...just go for it..I am tough...no probs. Ummmmm.....bad idea. He pushed that permanent crown on with the glue and said to bite down and hold it for 5 minutes. Yeah....that went well....

Because of that nerve...AND he did warn me......WOW...I had pain shooting through my jaw and down through my neck and down to the collar bone. I just wiggled and flailed legs a little.

Then the tears started. How fun is it to be laying on your back as your tears flow down your face and into your ears where you have your Ipod ear buds? By the time the hygienist (Bless her heart) noticed I was crying...the pain was done. Win place show....it was only about 2 minutes, but dang I could not stop crying. She was so freaked out. The more she asked me if I was okay, the more I cried. Once you start down that path...hard to stop. She got me some tissue.

Irregardless, I survived. The crown is a little too tall, but I will address that later. Dr. Hazouri kept asking if the bite was right...I said it was perfect knowing that it was too tall. I just wanted to leave. I will go back and have it hammered down, but at least it is done!

Don't be afraid of the dentist. I love going to the dentist and making sure that my teeth are good. This experience was me being stupid and cocky. Next time....numb me up Baby! And pray for me that this works....otherwise he said "We will have to remove the nerve"! A root canal...seriously...please pray!

Schnauzer Leg Twister

The kids have romped and played in the snow. I so wanted to get pics of them out there but the snow was coming down so hard that I could not handle 2 leashes and protect the camera. I just wanted them to have fun! I cannot even describe how cute they were in the snow. Now they are just sleepy.....and I now have schnauzer leg twister:

I tried to count all the feet I could and I know there is another foots (and yes..I said "foots" and I like it) hidden under there!


Booooo

All the snow is gone. That's life in the South...fun while it lasted!
