What the heck? AKA Miss Teen South Carolina's infamous answer

Check this link and the video, this is totally priceless and flabbergasting.

What the heck was she thinking of? Honestly? This is the infamous link.Her answer absolutely makes no sense.

The question she was asked:

"Why a fifth of Americans can't find the United States on a world map?"

Her answer:

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some ... people out there in our nation don't have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as South African, and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and ... I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., er, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

Monday Morning rambling

It's Monday morning and I'm at work which is totally cool. I'm kinda sleepy but I shall survive.

Yesterday afternoon, with the maintenance person and a friend ( he's very tall) we went to church to try to get old fabric banners on the church's ceiling.

Ceiling is about 50 foot from the floor, my friend had to go in the attic, it was a real mess. It did NOT work because someone had cut the banners without asking anyone. We tried to hang them but they were about 4 feet too short. So we will tell people they are invisible, but there. We did laugh our ass off.

Picture me in the church's sanctuary, the friend in the attic, 50 + foot higher. The way we keept in touch? duh!!! cell phones! yup, the connection was very clear. That was pretty amazing. The old banners won't be back. Unfortunately, because we aren't able to make miracle happen, this isn't going to be possible. We wanted to do it for the Parish anniversary and because we are going to welcome cruiseships passengers soon. But whatever!

Saturday I went to mass because I needed to speak with the Parish Priest who's cell phone was shut, but I was able to get a hold of him at church. Not my parish but whatever, I had to speak with him for work business. Same day, I rented 2 movies, Shooter and Fracture and both of them were very very good.

I've gotta get back to work. I will write later!!!!

Go visit Heather's blog

She's inspiring, go visit her blog she needs prayers, good thoughts, good vibes, whatever. But I'm warning you, she will amaze you.

Heather, your strength is contagious, your faith inspiring and your love for LIFE soo beautiful to see.

God bless you and yours!

Thank God it's finally over

The day is over, the week is over. Wow. Just Wow.

I survived, I even had fun, I worked hard and did NOT kill anyone. Kudos to me eh?

Honestly, the more people I meet, the more I enjoy my friends and my cat's presence. I'm absolutely amazed at the reaction of total strangers or acquaintance, if they had lived at The Mother's house, they would have been grounded and spanked. And learned how far words word like P-L-E-A-S-E and T-H-A-N-K-S can take you.Yes, crazy bitch at Retal Store, I'm speaking of you.

So, I worked, shopped at The Mall in Bigger City with my friend the Psych nurse and The Seminarian, we ate there and played board and dice games all evening and tried a Wii.

I'll post more tomorrow, it's late and I'm sleepy!!!!

Can we say crazy friday?

It's not raining, it's pouring rain, depressing rain. But that's not the point, it's only that it's a crazy morning at work. I've got tons to do because I'll be taking the afternoon off.

I'm getting my butt back to what I've gotta do! Talk to you all later!!!

TGIF though, TGIF!!!

Is your Friday crazy? What do like best about Fridays?

Belated Wednesday funny

At church yesterday, around 17h00. I'm chit chatting with the man who was hired to fix the church's wooden door. He's very nice, quite chatty but always appropriate, in the past weeks he was telling me about his dating situation. (he's divorced, looking, women he meets are kinda freaking him out)

Him: That's very sad that you are twenty something, because I would date you, we'd make an awesome couple, too bad there's more than twenty years of age difference eh? He's in his 50s

Me: Hmm Too bad I don't find you attractive eh? Too bad you wait a week to make love and I believe in waiting until solid commitment :::thinks::: Too bad I want to get married in the church and you are divorced and not interested in marriage. Yeah, you are right it's too bad huh?

H: It's too much of an age difference for you?

M: If I was attracted to you and felt you were the one, age wouldn't matter, but right now, age is one thing among soo many others. Yeah, that's too much of an age difference for me.


I was nice, I really filtered what I needed to say instead of what I could have said. My answers could have hurt his feelings and I didn't wanted that, so it's all good.

This is very flattering but just not what I'm looking for.

13 Things you don't know about me...

1. I'm really grumpy in the morning
2. I love to sleep and prefer that to many things
3. I believe in true commitment before sex
4. I'm a night owl

6. I believe there's a man somewhere that is my true match
7. If I learned today that I had terminal cancer, I'd start smoking again
8. I love chocolate
9. I love Jesus Christ with all my heart
10. I'd love to have kids but not at any cost

News from The Ex-Boyfriend

Remember him? Well anyway, he called tonight. True to himself, he hasn't changed a bit. Am I surprised? Not at all.

I'd be a bitch to post all the itsy bitsy details of our 10 minutes conversation but lets just say I rushed into emailing TFB and SW about it. I figured since I made the choice not to let the world know how he really is to respect his privacy. I still had to vent somewhere.

He's not a bad man at all, honest to God, he's a good, honest man, hard worker. He just has a lot of some issues.

Anyway, I'm pooped, it's pass freaking 23h00 and I'm not in bed. Tomorrow is soo going to be a long day!

God, help me! If anyone is interested, my friend's daughter needs some prayers. She has some trouble with her boyfriend and is heartbroken. You know how teens are eh? Poor sweetie, she's in my thoughts and prayers.

The dreaded "it's almost 15h00" down

Why am I always having a down around 15h00? I'm sleepy as hell and I can't focus. I crave a cigarette I need some fresh air or a coffee, but how much coffee is too much? I mean for a 24 hours period? I had what? 6 cups of coffee since 6h30 this morning?

anyway, what is up with always needing a nap around 15h00?
The Old Parishioner, a nice man who collects ancient objects will visit me at church around dinner time. He's a very fun, interesting and respectful man. Oh jeez, I can't believe I'm working late. blech

At 16h00, I'll stop by the retirement home to visit MsDM's friend, grab a coffee at The Coffee Place and open the church and hopefully, have visitors. It's sunny, it's warm, it's a nice day to visit your church's exposition.

Is anyone else having a down around 15h00?

SQ Believes Cedrika Is Still Alive

From this article:

The Surete du Quebec believes nine-year-old Cedrika Provencher is still alive, three weeks after being kidnapped. The detective in charge of the investigation tells the Journal de Montreal that credible witnesses have called saying they've seen her, adding police have nothing to suggest she's dead. A fourth little girl has come forward saying she too was approached by a man looking for a dog just before Cedrika disappeared. Her description has confirmed other information police have, helping them to target their man. They still have not revealed a composite sketch of their suspect, though.

I can't find a better article in English, all the recent ones with pictures are in french.



Cédrika Provencher
Born : August 29, 1997
Height : 152 cm - 5'
Weight : 32 kgs - 70 lbs.
Eyes : Brown
Hair : Brown (red highlights)
Age (at the time of disappearance) : 9 years old

Cédrika was last seen at the corner of Descheneaux and Chapais Street in Trois-Rivières by two women who said that she was looking for a small dog for an unknown person. She was last seen wearing a green sundress, a red bikini underneath her dress, green flip-flops, a blue and black lanyard of Star Academie with a red key and a white key (ladybug) and a black watch with a pink contour.

For any information 1-800-659-4264


PS: I hope no one is getting annoyed at my constant blogging about Cedrika. This kid is missing, it's breaking my heart. It could be mine, it could be yours.

Update on The Parish project with nice little fella

Remember Nice Little Fella (NLF)? The deadline for the printing job was tomorrow, I got a call from him this afternoon.

Me: Hello

NLF: Hey No Nonsense girl, this is NLF from Printing X. How are you doing?

M: Good and you?

NLF: good, are you sure?

M: Yeah, I'm sure.

NLF: Are you in a good mood?

M: I was before you called Sure are

NLF: When was printing project due for The Parish?

M: Wednesday, this week.

NLF: When do you need it?

M: Not before next Thursday Tomorrow

NLF: I hope you are in a good mood

M: Why? I could see him come, he was kidding, I was certain.

NLF: Because I have a good news, the Printing project is ready. You can come and pick it up.

M: That's awesome, I'm on my way. But, you'll have to wait for me to meet with the committee, I can't pay right away.

NLF: Sure, no problem, I've never had a problem with The Parish.

M: Thanks soo much, I'm on my way. See ya in a few.

So I walked to The Store, it was a very sunny and warm afternoon. I was very a little anxious. What is the job sucked? Who was I going to blame How was I going to explain it? Anyway, The finished Project is beautiful, I'm very satisfied, I told them how happy I was. Can't wait to show TFB and SW when they'll be back from their 2 day-trip. And then we'll present it to The Parish's anniversary committee.

Testing my new skills!!!

I rock, I figured it all by myself. Thanks to Shauna from Pass The Chocolate for helping solve my 2 HTML code problems. She explained how to strike through and underline.

So go visit her blog, she's worth the stop. I'll forever kiss your ass be grateful, if you need anything, let me know.

Rambling thoughts from my lunch break

Overheard at the rectory's table at lunch today. The Deacon and I like each other a lot BUT every time we have lunch together, we end up fighting over anything. We debate every time we eat together...anyway, back to our topic

Just so you know, we were discussing Dave Hilton and pedophile in general.

Me- You think I'm such a mean person because I can't stand pedophile but I'll ask SW to come and have lunch with us next Monday and you'll see that most people DO NOT defend them and see them as broken and hurting folks. Most people like me are sick of them making victims because of their freaking perversion. I'll ask SW to come, you'll see I'm not a Meany. We don't want to hurt them, we don't wish any harm upon them.

TD- Even Bush says he doesn't wish harm upon the Iraqi.

Me- Wait are you comparing me to Bush? :::::speechless::::

TD- Well, yes and no!

Me- Are you serious? Bush is killing thousands of people because of his freaking war. Bush is evil. You are seriously comparing me with Bush? WTF???

TD- I wanted to say that sometimes even if one doesn't wish harm upon anyone, their actions can do otherwise.

Me- That I agree, but jeez, there's nothing comparable to Bush in my dislike for pedophile.

I need blood pressure medicine, lunch with TD have always been giving me grey hair. I swear, sometimes I think he's doing it on purpose. Maybe angry women turn him on or something.

I'll ask SW to come and have lunch with us, maybe TFB could come too. We'd have fun. TYP, TD, TFB, SW and I. That would be great!!! Anyone wanting to join us?

Keep that moron locked AKA Dave Hilton is back in jail

Dave Hilton Jr is back in jail after breaking the condition of his early release at the halfway house where he has to reside. He was convicted by a jury of sexually assaulting his two daughters for a long period of time.

That fucking asshole didn't respect his conditions and disappeared for 3 days.

Former professional boxer Dave Hilton Jr. may be heading back to prison for failing to live up to a condition of his release that he reside at a halfway house.

A warrant for his arrest had been issued after he failed to return to the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve residence Friday. He is expected to be arraigned today where a judge will decide on his sentence.

He was out of prison after serving two-thirds of a seven-year sentence he received in 2001 for sexually assaulting his two daughters when they were minors. The final third of his sentence was to be served in the community, under supervision and with conditions similar to full parole.

I wish they had the gut to keep that moron behind bars for the rest of his sentence, that is January 2009.

From this article:

The National Parole Board expressed two concerns about Hilton's early release in a letter dated May 10, 2006 — that he always maintained his innocence and that he remained romantically involved with a woman in contact with two minor girls.

What the hell? I'm sorry, you know how I feel about pedophile and rapists. What more does the National Parole board need? That he abuses other girls? That he escapes again? Keep that fucking pervert in prison for the rest of his sentence. I said, for the rest of his sentence, not the rest of his life. I do not wish harm upon them, they just sickens me.

Don't send me nasty emails because as a christian, you think I should love him. Because there's nothing you can say that will change my feelings towards sexual offenders.

Help me please!!! Computer geek needed!!!

I've been reading a blog where the writter ( funny and witty) underline and overline her text. I want to do it too. :::pouts:::

How can I edit my freaking HTML? Honest to God, I can't find it. I've Google, tried to understand and I can't.

Help me, help save my sanity and get back to work. Help please! I just want to underline and overline my text.

Pretty please with a cherry on top? Wolverine? Apostle of computer geekness? Anyone up to rescuing a beautiful young woman?

What the hell?

I just tried calling my doctor, a bit of history here, I've been a patient of her for more than 12 years. She's like a big sister to me, there's a friendship in between us, she gave me her freaking cell phone number, but I try to call at one of the two clinics where she has an office instead of calling her cell when it's possible.

I gave a call to clinic X 2 seconds ago, TYP's parent need a family doctor, I'll ask her to take them if she can take two new patients. It's a real PITA to find a doctor here.

Doctor X's office, how may I help you?

I would like Doctor X to call me back when she's at the office.

Are you a patient?

Yes, I'm a patient here and at Clinic Y

If you aren't only a patient here, I can't take the message!

huh??? ::::dumbfounded::::

I can't take the message because she wouldn't call you back. I'm sorry, that's the rule.

I'm sure she would call me back BUT you know what I'll do? I'll call Clinic Y and leave a message there. Surely they'll take it.

I'm sorry, that's the way it works.

Fine, have a great day then.

phew!!!

My meeting with The Parish Priest (TPP) went well, took less than 10 minutes and we can go on with our four ideas/projects. ::::happy dance:::::

Gave a call to TFB in regards to our projects after meeting with TPP , I asked him if I could speak with SW and I told her how much I appreciate and like her. I think it's important to tell people we love what they mean to us. I'd send TFB an email last night and at the end, asked him to let SW know how much I appreciate her but he hadn't hadn't had a chance to check his emails so I told her myself. SW isn't using the net YET, I really wish she would because she would like it I'm sure and I would email her.

Ok, now, I'm getting my ass back to doing what I need to do this morning.

Monday mornings are difficult

Yup, they sure are. It's just that I hate Monday mornings. You are probably thinking to yourself Is there anything that doesn't make her bitch and moan? and the answer to this is Yes many things don't make me get my panties in a bunch. But because it's Monday morning, I feel free to be a whiny bitch.

This is my third cup of coffee since I arrived at The Office at 7h50 and still, it's not enough to get me going.

I'm meeting with The Parish Priest in few minutes, I've got tons of phone calls to return.

God, if you are listening, could you make sure crisis is stopped before it starts?

It's 19h00, guess who's already wearing her pajamas?

Yeah, you got that right, I am.

TFB and SW dropped me home around 14h00, I watched a bit of TV, surfed the net, cooked dinner, cleaned after myself, took a long shower and put my pajamas on. I need to straighten my hair with my super duper flat iron. Yeah, you heard that right. I've got to do that every time I wash my hair or I'll look like this. And honestly, I don't care for that look.

Brunch was fun, we talked, we laughed a lot. TYP left a little before 13h00 because he had a phone appointment. The three (TFB, SW and I) of us stayed at the table and talked until almost 14h00. They are great people, they are very open minded. It was great, I'd miss these great talks around good food.

I'm mentally getting ready for another week at work tomorrow morning. It'll be fun! (It better be, I'll make it fun) Oh, wed we are suppose to receive the finish product for The Parish. Can't wait to freaking see it!!!

SW was right, because I did what had to be done early this morning and used this morning energy to be productive, I was able to enjoy a relax afternoon! I'll try getting up early again. You were right and heaven knows I'm not a morning person.

A little test to psychoanalyze yourself

I'm usually against that type of test, but I came across this one on a message board. It was fairly accurate.

1. You are not alone. You are walking in the woods. Who is with you?
My friend TYP.


2. You are walking in the woods. You see an animal. What kind of animal?
A cat


3. What interaction takes place between you and the animal?
I speak to the cat with a sweeter voice so he's not afraid and I get to come closer and get him to know me and trust me.

4. You walk deeper in the woods. You enter a clearing, and before you is your dream house. How big is it?
It's a little house, 1 story and a basement, 3 bedroom. (not that small eh?)

5. Is your dream house surrounded by a fence?
Nope

6. You enter the house. You walk into the dining room and see the dining room table. What do you see on AND around it?
I see food on the table and my friends all sitting around the table.

7. You exit the house and a cup is on the ground, what kind is it?
A metal cup of coffee

8. What do you do with the cup?
I look at it

9. You walk to the edge of the property where you find yourself standing at the end of a body of water what kind of water is it?
It's a small river

10. How will you cross the water?
I'll take the little bridge that is a little farther away.

My answers are bolded, here's the meaning.

1. The person who you are walking in the woods with is the most important to you.


2. The size of the animal is representative of your perception of the size of your problems in your life.


3. The severity of the interaction you have with the animal is representative of how you deal with your problems.


4. The size of your dream home is representative of the size of your ambition to solve your problems.

5. A lack of a fence is indicative of an open personality. People are welcome at all times. The presence of a fence indicates a closed personality. You'd prefer people not drop by unannounced.


6. If your answer did NOT include food, flowers, a drink, or people, then you are generally unhappy.


7. The durability of the material with the cup is made of is representative of the perceived durability of your relationship.


8. What you did with the cup is representative of your attitude.


9. The size of the body of water is representative of the size of your sexual desire.




10. The way you cross the water is representative to how easy or hard you expect your life to be

Did you do the test? Were your answers accurate to your reality?
