Gentlemen in another language
Upon taking my son to bathroom with the word "Gentlemen" on it, the following exchange ensued...
Son: Is this the boys' bathroom?
Me: Yes, now let's go. You said you had to pee.
Son: But that sign doesn't say "Men."
Me: It says "Gentlemen," which means it's the boys' bathroom.
Son: Oh! I didn't know they had that word in a foreign language.
Me: (laughing out loud) I love you, buddy...
Son: Love you, too, dad... I have to pee.

I have to agree, Glee’s “Brittany” totally steals the show sometimes. “I think my cat’s been reading my diary.” That’s Gold, Jerry, GOLD! jesssica: Meet Glee’s “Brittany.” She is my favorite character. Hilarious. (via warrennotg)

Tonight at the year-end picnic, we were reminded of this moment from about a year ago. Cracks me up every time.

Study: Many Sunscreens May Be Accelerating Cancer
kimbaland: simplyjess: “Almost half of the 500 most popular sunscreen products may actually increase the speed at which malignant cells develop and spread skin cancer…” Scary stuff! Read the full article. Thanks for sending, Court! Here is the list of EWG’s top-rated, safest sunscreens for 2010. The mineral-based options at the top of the list are pretty pricey, so since I go through...

Conversation between me and my son
Son: Dad?
Me: Yes, buddy?
Son: You see that tree way up ahead?
Me: (Seeing hundreds of trees) Yes, I see it. (smiling)
Son: I can't see it because it's too foggy.
Me: (laughing) I love you, buddy!
Son: (confused) Love you, too, dad.

My 5-year-old son singing the National Anthem. This video was entered into the Roanoke Times’ “Oh Say! Can You Sing?” contest. He’s the first approved submission. Voting begins June 11, so when that day arrives, I hope you guys will vote for him. The winner gets to sing the anthem in front of 25,000 people!

You know you're getting Craigslist spam when...
You get an e-mail from someone with a capitalized first name and a lowercased last name. Oh, and the e-mail says something like this: hello would you still have your <span class=”ih” id=”images3n03mc3pd5o35w 4s?? Spammer fail.

I'm not one to tell...
the Mexican drug cartels how to run their business, but their current business model doesn’t really make much sense. The idea is to keep them hooked, not kill them. From an MSNBC.com article: “Mexican drug smugglers are increasingly peddling a form of ultra-potent heroin that sells for as little as $10 a bag and is so pure it can kill unsuspecting users instantly, sometimes before they even...

I don't get it...
I have zero fashion sense. I can’t recall ever having discussed fashion, save for this post, on my Tumblr blog. So, why is someone who is all about fashion and posts nothing but fashion following me? Perhaps they feel my wardrobe needs help. I don’t disagree, but frilly dresses and skinny people aren’t going to help me with that. Just sayin.

Bull 1, Spanish Matador 0 (Warning, graphic!)
Look, I don’t wish harm on anyone, but this sport is barbaric and cruel, so in this case, I’m kind of glad the bull got in a good lick before they killed him.

maryanne asked: I didn't know you were an EMT! Anyway, I still have a whole semester of this Emergency Medicine group and I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you do. Getting the opportunity to do something other than auscultate today really opened my eyes to how integral every person who is a part of the medical community is in order to reach a common goal.

I'm amazed by how...

Facebook Privacy Scanner from ReclaimPrivacy.org →
A friend on Facebook posted this link. It’s a privacy scanner for Facebook. I ran it while logged into Facebook and the results surprised me. It showed several areas of Facebook’s privacy settings that I didn’t even know I could customize. And it revealed that a lot of my contact information was available to “Everyone” even though I could have sworn I changed the...

Dashboard is much cleaner now thanks to an...
This is why I can’t follow too many people on Tumblr because eventually it just gets so ridonkulously cluttered that I can’t stand it. So, I keep it to a manageable number. Bottom line, if I’m still following you, feel special. DAMN special. One last note - I’d love for Tumblr to add a feature that groups multiple posts from one person, similar to what FB does with its...
