Can you believe this stuff????

Priest fined for early morning bell-ringing
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A Dutch priest has been fined 5,000 euros ($6,800) for ringing his church bells too loudly in the morning
I'm glad i don't live next to that church... but that seems to be a pretty steep fine if you ask me. On the other hand maybe they should get up up early and go to church!!!!

Couple tried to name baby "@"
BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese couple tried to name their baby "@," claiming the character used in e-mail addresses echoed their love for the child, an official trying to whip the national language into line said Thursday. "The whole world uses it to write e-mail, and translated into Chinese it means 'love him'," the father explained, according to the deputy chief of the State Language Commission Li Yuming.
I've seen sillier names recently, traditional regular names still are best... how would you like to have a name...like that... i can see the kids at school laughing already...poor kid...

Chinese wizards work their magic with Harry Potter

The whole wants to know... i don't blame them... I had to find out too!!!

What can I say...i have had time to surf the headlines. i swear it's just a hobby ... this is what i do to pass time... yes it's under my top ten lists of what to do when your not ready to go to bed at 3 in the morning. I'm sure some day I will learn to sleep when the rest of the world does...

D'oh-n't forget to see The Simpsons Movie!!!!
So we went out for a bite to eat at Cheeburber Cheeburger, no your not seeing things that's
how it is really spelled. I know it seems like i may have missed a few letters here and there... but it was intentional this time. We splurged and had milk shakes and burgers and they were totally awesome.... I recommend this place highly! They have a real soda fountain, like a 50's style diner. Really cool doo wop music that just puts U in the mood for fun and frivolity! Then we went on our way to see The Simpsons movie...all I can say it's wrong in so many ways but totally hilarious. So if you want a good laugh you should check it out. We enjoyed it thoroughly and you may too!

Time to ramble a little…
I had some great ideas to blog but after I ate my dinner I went into a coma

First things 1st
, why does it seem that there is always so muck laundry to wash? There are only 2 of us here and it seems like the hamper has no bottom, or we just can never find it! I no my Mother would suggest naked day so all the laundry could done …. And the more I think about it the more appealing it seems. The weather has been really, really hot!

Next topic, I tasted the most delicious cake today….We have a New Pasrty chef at work and she makes some really tasty items. It makes it hard to behave when there are so many things to try. Back to this awesome cake, it was a mocha mousse cake with a chocolate walnut topping that was gooie… it the best cake so far… I say that about each new dessert I try… I think this will be hard to beat! I know it's tough to be me ate these times!!!

Last but not least… what do you do with a watermelon that has no flavor? Pickle it! It is a delicious way to turn a loser into a winner. It’s so easy, mix red wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, and a little sugar and pour it over some cubed water melon…toss it in the fridge over night and ala ka zam…. If you want you can throw in some thin sliced onion and some mandarin oranges just for fun… try it some time.. it’s a real winner and it’s good for you too! Well that’s all the rambling for now… see you next time….
