Fish In The Sea

"There are plenty of fish in the sea. But really, there's not. It's not just our imaginations. It would be great if decent men were as plentiful as jumping salmon in a rushing river, but they aren't. For every Mr. Darcy (and he's married, incidentally) there are a hundred Mr. Wickhams. Or in more contemporary terms, for ever one of Colin Firth, there are several thousand Hugh Grants. The odds are against us. But what can I say--I'm a romantic, and I can't abandon the fantasy of Prince Charming altogether. What girl with a heart can? I mean, I'm not asking to feed the five thousand; I just want one good fish!"

Quote from 'A Girl's Best Friend by Kristin Billerbeck.

Haunted White House

The iconic building in Washington, DC. Residence and office of the President of the USA. The attic is supposedly haunted by the short term President and the first to die in office is William Henry Harrison from Pneumonia a month after his inauguration. Other reports that the attic is also haunted by David Burns who was forced to surrender his land so the White House could be built.
The Rose Garden is commonly used for presidential announcements. First Lady Dolley Madison planted the garden in the early 1800's. Then First Lady Ellen Wilson requested the garden be dug up. Dolley Madison was not too pleased. Then again who can blame her. I'd be mad too.
The basement, but that's really no surprise there. The basement was reconstructed in the 1950's. The basement is said to be home of a kitty, but not just any kitty an demon cat. The cat is supposedly appears as a warning, like the Mothman from West Virginia.
The Second Floor Halls is reportedly haunted by President Lincoln, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, and First Lady Abigail Adams.
The Second Floor Bedrooms is reportedly haunted by a British soldier who tried to set fire to a couple's bed. Its said that the soldier is the one who set fire to the White House in 1812. President Lyndon B. Johnson's daughter Lynda reported seeing Lincoln's son Willie who died in her room. Reports of President Grover Cleveland's wife's screams could be heard. She's first to give birth in the white house. Was her ghost delivering a baby?
The Yellow Oval Room is Lincoln's favorite rooms. Would it surprise you if I said that Lincoln also haunts this room? David Burns, Presidents Thomas Jefferson and John Tyler have been reportedly seen.
The North Portico is reportedly haunted by a torch-wielding British officer is often seen outside the front door. The ghost of Ann Surratt, whose mother Mary was hanged in 1865 for the assassination of Lincoln. She's also seen on the front steps every July 7th, the anniversary of her mother's execution.
The East room is haunted by Abigail Adam. She would hang her laundry in that room. And Lincoln has also been spotted in The East Room as well.
The Rose Room is supposedly haunted by President Andrew Jackson. He could be heard either laughing or swearing. Lol, I would love to hear that, but Jackson ain't alone. Lincoln can be seen in this room as well. Queen Wilhemina of the Netherlands stayed in this room, answered a knocked on the door and was greeted by Lincoln.
Last and sure ya saw this one coming; The Lincoln Bedroom. Winston Churchill will never sleep in Lincoln's room after seeing him standing near the fireplace whom (Churchill) was just emerging from a bath in the buff. Maybe Lincoln was trying to burn his eyes out? I mean seeing a man standing naked in your room to a straight guy might be terrifying.  

Titanic

Titanic was British ship that sank in April 15, 1912 after colliding with an iceberg. Over 1,500 lost their lives. Now a 103 years later it still gets talked about....kinda only when your referring to the movie staring Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio, but did you know that month after the sinking a survivor name Dorothy Gibson starred in a short movie called 'Saved From The Titanic'. It says though that the last prints were destroyed in a fire in 1914, but some print stills have survived. She was already a silent movie star before she boarded the famous ship.
But it wasn't only humans who also lost their lives that day. There were 12 dogs aboard the Titanic only three survived; two Pomeranian's and a Pekingese. Lucky for these dogs they were small and more likely went unnoticed, but sadly the dogs in the picture did not make it. One of the Pomeranian's was purchased in Paris by Margret Bechstein Heys, unknow Pomeranian name owned by Martin Rothschild who didn't survived the shipwreck, but his wife did. The Pekingese was named Sun Yat-Sen, owned by Henry  S. Harper.

Artisan-Style Sandwiches

Turkey BLT. A turkey sandwich served on ciabatta bun. Served with mayo, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and hickory smoked bacon.

I thought it was delicious. The bacon was actually good. It wan't gooey or dried up like most restaurant bacon is.

Hot Desserts A La Mode

The apple tart. I quote, "A flaky dessert-crust topped with apples, oatmeal crumble, drizzled with caramel. Served with soft serve vanilla ice cream."

It was good, but man was that sweet. It was sweet as they come. After eating this, you won't need anything sweet for awhile.

Fudge Stuffed Cookie. A warm chocolate chip stuffed fudge cookie served with soft serve vanilla ice cream drizzled with fudge.

I loved it. It wan't as sweet as the apple tart.

I'm not a fan of brownies, so I ain't gonna bother with the Triple Chocolate Brownie.

Australia

A nation of trees, drab green and desolate grey

In the field uniform of modern wars, 

Darkens her hills, those endless, outstretched paws

Of Sphinx demolished or stone lion warn away.

They call her a young country, but they lie;

She is the last of lands, the emptiest, 

A woman beyond her change of life, a breast 

Still tender but within the womb is dry. 

Without songs, architecture, history;

The emotions and superstitions of younger lands,

Her rivers or water drown among inland sands,

The river of her immense stupidity

Floods her monotonous tribes from Cairns to Perth.

In them at last the ultimate men arrive

Whose boast is not: "we live" but "we survive",

A type who will inhabit the dying earth.

And her five cities, like five teeming sores,

Each drains her: a vast parasite robber-state

Where second-hand Europeans populate 

Timidly on the edge of alien shores. 

Yet there are some like me turn gladly home

From the lush jungle of modern thought, to find

The Arabian desert of the human mind,

Hoping, if still from the deserts the prophets come, 

Such savage and scarlet as no green hills dare

Springs in that waste, some spirit which escapes

The learned doubt, the chatter of cultured apes

Which is called civilization over there. 

By A. D. Hope

Underprivileged Kids Left Out of School Carnival

As a person myself who grew up with limited income, I know the value of a dollar and understand that the parents I'm certain wanted their kids to enjoy themselves, but just couldn't afford it...or by chance religion, According to the article which I will post the links. The school over charged those who were able to attend anyway. My God, hearing the joys and laughs while the (let's just say it) poor watches some ole dumb movie...that they've probably already seen. I there were tears and sad faces. It also mentioned that one student thought they were being punished. Technically the school did punished them 'cause of their limited income.
On another note, it had to been planned in advance and the school already knew the income of the students parents 'cause it says they only had enough prizes for those who paid.
There were a few faculty members that were sadden by the outcome. The paid kids also received stuffed animal 'cause they were able to pay, but one teacher refused to give them out 'til she could add her own gifts for the underprivileged. Kudo's to her.
The carnival kids were also treated to popcorn afterwards so as not to hurt those who were punished 'cause of their income. Like they didn't hear the screams, laughter, and chatter outside. They're underprivileged, not deaf...though they're may have been a non hearing student at the school. I don't know.
I agree. The carnival was held during school hours making it FREE for all. The gold diggers should have waited 'til after school hours, or planned it on the weekend.

Tarzan Theory

Some say that Tarzan is Anna and Elsa's brother, but Tarzan's parents look nothing like Anna and Elsa's parents side by side. OK, some say due to being exposed to the sun can change hair color. I can personally vouch for that. My hair used to black, but through time it changed to auburn. There's no known back story to where were Tarzan's parents were headed as to Anna and Elsa's parents. The couple do look Irish..to me at least. I also came across a video on Youtube with Anastasia and Dimitri are Tarzan's parents who are Russian take place in early 1900's (least that's what I found). If correct both Tarzan and Anastasia then takes place in the 1900's, but again one is Russian while the other is English and Tarzan's parents look Irish.
It has been confirmed that Anna and Elsa's parents were going to a wedding (Rapunzel's), but there was a storm, while Tarzan's parents boat was on fire. On the short time Tarzan's parents were at sea and on the Island, changes could have occurred. Tarzan's parents were alive at least for a couple months or more for the tree house to looked lived in and their stuff washed ashore. Her hair might have change somewhat, but she wouldn't have turned into a full fledged redhead and going from blonde to brown? At least dirty blonde would be more like it. Its said that Frozen takes place in the 1840's. That's at least a 60 year difference.  It also goes to say exactly as stated a wedding, they didn't die, they got washed up on shore in a jungle, gave birth to a son, built a treehouse, and was killed by a leopard...in that order as far as I know while Tarzan was apparently born on the ship, but yes a treehouse was built and his parents were killed by a wild cat. Tarzan and Frozen were directed by Chris Buck. Its more possible that he just used Tarzan's parents death as inspiration to Anna and Elsa's parents death creating a theory that's driving people insane trying to connect to people that look nothing alike. Is it working?
And lets not forget the supposedly ship in The Little Mermaid that Ariel finds. That takes place in the 1800's in Denmark (I believe. At least according to Youtube). That's at least a 100 years before Tarzan, but admittedly its around 40ish year difference between Frozen and The Little Mermaid. Years passed and Ariel is born and finds the long lost ship (that makes sense). But if Tarzan is the long lost brother of the Frozen sisters, what about that 60 year age gap? Tarzan would have been up in age when he met Jane and her father. So without a doubt to me, Tarzan is NOT the Frozen sister's long lost brother. Two different shipwreck's (One fire, one storm), and two different reasons for being in out on the open sea (unknown for Tarzan's and Rapunzel's wedding).

Jane & Belle

Are they related? Terk can be see using tea pots as a drum in one of the scenes which looks exactly like the tea set from Beauty and the Beast. Namely Mrs. Potts and Chip. Not to mention that the curse was lifted and Chip and his mother became human again as well as the others who were cursed. That would have left the castled nearly empty 'cept for the once cursed. Belle went shopping and had some things custom made? Could it just be 'cause of her English background and just a coincidence? Belle is supposedly set in the year 1770's in France while Jane is from England in the early 1900's (least that's what I found).

Both have brown hair and favor the color yellow. Their father's are a little out there...and let's on forget the Duke of Weselton also looks like Jane's father, but Duke Weselton is German. Frozen was supposedly set somewhere in the 1800's (there's a variety of dates, but 1800's kept coming up) Norway. For all of 'em to be related, like most family they spread out. Belle's grandkid have to have met and married someone from Germany. Someone real close (a kid, grandkid, sibling), met and married someone from England. Through time, relatives do take on traits of their ancestors which is possibly why they look so much alike. 

Jane and Belle tamed wild men. OK one was cursed and the other was feral. 

This is just my theory. Personally Beauty and the Beast is my top favorite, followed by Frozen, and then Tarzan. I'm a reader so Belle will always be my favorite.

Are Schools Going Too Far?

I have came across many articles on Facebook about young girls being sent home. One girl got sent home 'cause of the shirt she was wearing in honor of her friend that committed suicide, The school even tore down the memorial the student had set up. Another was a kindergartner who had on a maxi dress. How scandalous at that age. There was a girl who got sent home 'cause apparently shoulders are the new faze that guys are attracted too. What guy is gonna say how sexy your shoulders are? This young girl got sent home 'cause her gorgeous red dress was too revealing when it fact it was nothing more than body slamming. And this young girl got sent home 'cause Spring dresses are scandalous. The young girl to the right got sent home 'cause apparently sport shirts and leggings are scandalous.
There's probably more, which I missed.
Update. I have since added two more links. Check 'em out.

CSI: Las Vegas

After 15 years CSI: Las Vegas has come to an end. Las Vegas is the oldest of the franchise with Miami, New York, and the Cyber (the baby). To end the long running show, there is suppose to be a movie with Catherine Willows and Gill Grissom making an appearance. The first time I watched it was the roller coaster episode and was hooked from that moment on...'til the original cast member's started to disappear. I lost tract. I catch it when I can, if I didn't, it wan't no loss to me. Which to me was the downfall, but I really hoped it would outlast Cyber and my personal opinion on that, is the worst of the franchise.
My favorite character is Nick Stokes 'cause of his southern background. He had kind of brotherly bond towards Warrick Brown (my second favorite).
Grissom. To me, he was their boss, yes, but he did become like a second father to certain members of his team.
Sara. She was abused, so in cases involving that are always the toughest.
Catherine. Was a former showgirl who wanted to better herself..and wanted to make her daughter proud.
Warrick. As far as I know is the only one born and raised in Las Vegas. He also had gambling problem.
Greg. The youngest of the team and it showed.
Jim Brass. A former marine who has didn't see eye to eye with his daughter.
David Hodges. Kiss up especially to Grissom.
Dr. Al Robbins. Coroner.

Here's a list of other long running shows. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest-running_U.S._primetime_television_series#Scripted_television_series

Mother's Day

Its not about how expensive the gift it. Like Christmas, its the thought that counts. Just make sure you know the difference between what she needs (like a washing machine) and want she would like...GUYS.

For my mother I created a mini cactus garden.






Here's some gift idea's:

• Flowers and chocolate. Never can go wrong...less she's allergic. Can opt for fake flowers in a pretty vase. 
• Make something. That's always a winner. Its from the heart, even though the materials are store brought.
• A video montage.
• Shirts...which is usually easy to guesstimate. Fine a pretty design with something she likes. 
• Perfume...as long as she don't have asthma. 
• A nice supper. Make her, her favorites or take her to her favorite restaurant. 
• And don't forget the Mother's Day card.
• And don't forget lost loved mother's on this special day.
