Every year since Harry Truman was in office, the president pardons a turkey.
President Bush pardoned Pumpkin the turkey (named by the American people via Web vote on the White House website) Wednesday morning.
So what happens then to a pardoned turkey?
It goes to Disneyland.
That's not a joke. The turkey really is going to Disneyland.
To see more read the entire article.
Man I love reading stuff like this. It makes the end of the work day seem that much closer!
LOL

Wacky Wednesday
Taken from: yahoo news
Japan's females are longest living in world
Japanese girls born last year can expect to live until they are 86 years old, which would make them the longest survivors in the world, a report from the country's health ministry showed.
Okay, my first thought?
Imagine how much more writing time I'd have if I was born in Japan!!
My second thought was where the hell do they put all those people?
Then I read this:
Japan also has one of the world's lowest birth-rates, leaving the government with the challenge of how to fund its pension requirements, take care of its elderly and maintain productivity.
Youch!
Guess they will have to work until they reach 75?
My cousin travels to Japan once a year, she loves it there and speaks the language fluently. I must say that I envy her that ability. It'd be so cool to travel to another country and be able to treat it like a home away from home.

Gee, I have tons of wacky things I could share with you all, but where to start?
I've decided to share my love of Pinky and Brain LOL or is that Brain and Pinky ;)
For convenience sake, I've copied and pasted from this link:
http://www.sph.umich.edu/~rwatt/ponderin.htm
just a few of the ones I love so much!
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
I think so, Brain, but where are we going to find a duck and a hose at this hour?
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Pinky?"
Uh... yeah, Brain, but where are we going to find rubber pants our size?
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
Wuh, I think so, Brain, but burlap chafes me so.
"Are you pondering what I'm pondering, Pinky?"
Sure, Brain, but how are we going to find chaps our size?
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
Uh, I think so, Brain, but we'll never get a monkey to use dental floss.
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
Uh, I think so Brain, but this time, you wear the tutu.
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
I think so, Brain, but culottes have a tendency to ride up so.
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
I think so, Brain, but this time *you* put the trousers on the chimp.
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
Well, I think so, Brain, but I can't memorize a whole opera in Yiddish.
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
Well, I think so, Brain, but it's a miracle that this one grew back.
I think this is my favorite:
"Are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
Umm, I think so, Brain, but what if the chicken won't wear the nylons?
LOL

One of my fellow Loose Id Authors, Barbara Karmazin, showed me this:
How Stonehenge might have been built
It's fascinating. And just think, it might have been made by many less people than originally thought :)
Hope you have a great hump day.

I waited to post on purpose!
Fun Pictures!!!!!!!!!
and now I'm just freezing. I am glad it stopped snowing, and I am sad the moon isn't as orange as it was in the spring. It was an amazing color.

So today I'm gonna post about my kids. Why? Because they constantly amuse me. (Which is a good thing since some days they drive me insane.)
Last night my husband, son and I are snuggling in bed watching Scooby Doo. It's the one with Chill in the title I think. The one with the Yeti. My son was being a nudge as little boys tend to be (at least in my experience). He started with "Are you looking at me?" I started laughing because he was facing the tv and looking at me out of the corner of his eye. He repeats "Are you looking at me?" I respond with "Yeah, I'm looking at you." His response? "Can I help you?" I started to cry I was laughing so hard. My husband was laughing and we'd set each other off.
Even though they drive me insane, days like today make me remember it's worth staying up all night with a sick kid.
In other news, my oldest got a free day. We had a two hour delay, and since the other two were home with a stomach virus I left them with my sleeping son and walked her to the corner for the bus. Where we stood in rain just above freezing temperatures to wait 35 minutes for the bus. At which point she was soaked, her shoes, her pants, and she was crying. I sent her home and stood at the corner with the other boys because two of them said their parents had already left for work and they couldn't go home (Couldn't get in their house.) After 45 minutes the bus arrives, empty. I called the school and said that my daughter would not be there today because the bus didn't come. And she said, they are running beind, they should be there any minute. I said, no. 45 minutes in the rain with ice and now on the ground is unreasonable. Especially since the OTHER bus to the same school (that goes past our bus stop every morning) was only 10 minutes later than it should have been, not 45. The elementary school bus came at it's normal pick up time, and arrived before the middle school bus. Plus the bus hadn't even arrived to pick them up until AFTER school had started. So they said they would excuse her. Why should I lie and say she's sick when they had a group of kids stand in the rain and sleet and snow and ice for 45 minutes. Cranky? Nah. When I was a kid and the bus didn't come it was a free day. My oldest just got her first taste of a free day. Don't you wish you had a mom like me? *snickers*
