Elk just woke up screaming. Spiderman and Batman won't share their bikes.Wierd.
He then told me (while crying) he needed to brush his teeth. Wow, he will never get cavities with that kind of persistence
Now I can't go back to sleep. Darn cavities.

million dollar idea

Pop-tarts are a pastry that can keep in your bag and get popped in a toaster for a tasty high calorie snack. When toasted, they are even better.

So why not make a sandwich with the same properties. Never spoiling, but popped in a toaster it is tasty. They make handi snacks with cheese and crackers so I know keeping cheese and bread is possible. Spam, summer sausage and pepperoni are all meats that can be stored at room temperature.

Why not a cheese salami pastry sandwich?

Stupid Things I have done

So I did something really stupid this week. It got me thinking to other stupid things I have done recently. This list is by no means comprehensive and for your entertainment, I will list them below. (Please do not share these with my kids when they are older, or my wife now, it will only increase the hold they have over me.) Please, if you can think of other stupid things I have done, remind me.

1. Ran out of milk and put kool-aid on my cold cereal. That is just too much sugar, it may not have been as bad if it weren't fruit loops.

2. Shaved with my wife's Razor, my poor bald head was raw for days from razor burn.

3. Forgot to put suntan lotion on my razor burned head and spent all day in the yard. have you ever had blisters on your head?

4. Bought a Brand New Car, only to sell it 18 months later.

5. Watched "The Last Airbender"

6. Sold my '73 Landcruiser.

7. I laughed when Eli stuck a crayon up his nose... now he sticks everything up there to show me he is funny.

8. I washed my Ipod, in the washer, full cycle.

I am fairly confident no one will read this. (by the way, if you wash your electronic device. DO NOT TURN IT ON. Put it in a bag of instant rice for like 48 hours, THEN plug it in to recharge. IF it still doesn't work, you are out of luck... MINE IS WORKING for now)

special abilities

They say that when you loose one sense, your other senses pick up the slack. Blind people hear much better, deaf people see better.

So does that apply to smell? If you loose the ability to smell, are you more aware of your surroundings?

Frankly, not having the sense of smell may not be that bad. Think about it. Public bathrooms aren't nearly as disgusting. Public transportation isn't as uncomfortable. Your children's dirty diapers wouldn't be nearly as annoying. Cottage cheese, rotten milk, your neighbor's dairy farm, the compost pile down the road, all become irrelevant. I could go on.

Scientists say that smell is the sense most closely attached to memory. But loosing that connection isn't that bad. I have probably experienced more bad smells in my life than good ones... But then again I was raised on a farm. Frankly, there are smells I would like to forget. I won't list them for you.

What about loosing Taste? It is true that taste and smell go hand in hand. While I would never give up taste, it may be the solution to our obesity epidemic. If potato chips, and Soda taste the same as cardboard and water, maybe we wouldn't all weigh as much as most third world families. We don't need weight loss drugs, we need drugs that remove the sense of taste... Forfeit taste for weight loss!

Back to my original thought of loosing one sense and enhancing others. Does that apply to other aspects? I mean, I am loosing/have lost hair. When will I have a special ability, or increased awareness?

So far all I have noticed is an increased awareness of Back Hair.
