I have my own taste in what I watch on TV. But what I hate is when people tell me stuff like "don't waste your time on that show" or "OMG that is so lame, you are such a pussy for watching that". You know what. Screw that. I don't give a crap what people have to tell me about how they feel about the shows I like. I don't go around telling people that they shouldn't be watching the stuff they watch. Jeez dude, mind your own business.
I'll give you an example. OK, I like shows like Buffy and Charmed but a lot of people will say that those shows are targeted for girls. No they're not! They are targeted to anyone who likes that world. I just so happen to be that type of a person. I don't care if it's all men burping and farting, as long as they are casting spells and vanquishing demons or slaying vampires, that's all I care about.
Some people will say "oh well that's not very educational now is it? I just watch the home decorating shows and you know, educational programming like the Discovery Channel and The Learning Channel (TLC) and the History Channel. You know, you could be a little more educated if you stop watching those TV shows of yours". You know what, let me tell you something about education. Shove your education up your pie hole =)) I watch those things too. I watch the History channel and Discovery once in awhile, if it's interesting to me. I don't base my whole existence on that crap because they aren't fantasy. I would much rather live in the fantasy world because it's more interesting.
Listen, I have ADD, you know what that means? It means if I don't give a crap about something then I'm not going to pay any attention and I'm not going to remember 1 thing you told me about any of it. I may be sitting there, staring at the screen for an hour but I can guarantee you that I won't hear 1 word being said. And at the very end you can quiz me on it and I'll tell you the same thing everyone time. "Huh? What? Oh I'm sorry, I wasn't even paying attention."
If you ask me anything about Smallville, Supernatural, Heroes, Buffy, Charmed or any of the other many shows that I watch, I will have so much information that you will be like omg I can't believe you remembered that but yet you can't remember anything that you just saw in the last hour that I made you watch on the History channel.
Sorry, it's how I roll.

Primeval
Last year I watched this show on BBC America called Primeval. I thought it was a very good show. They only have about 6 or 7 episodes for each season but that's because it cost so much money to make with all the dinosaurs and special effects. The story is pretty good and I highly recommend it.
Here is a synopsis from scifi.com:
Primeval is coming to Sci-Fi channel starting on Friday April 10th at 10/9C. Catch it if you can. Set your TiVo's or whatever DVR's you have or your old dinosaur VCR's (pun intended). and make sure you don't miss this show.
Here is a synopsis from scifi.com:
World-renowned evolutionary scientist Professor Nick Cutter and his team are recruited by the British Government to investigate a series of dinosaur sightings. From a Gorgonopsid rampaging through the Forest of Dean to a swarm of giant spiders in the tunnels of the London Underground, they find themselves doing the "Monster Mash" with some seriously beastly opponents.
The seemingly impossible becomes a terrifying reality as long-extinct creatures rip through human territory. Meanwhile Cutter and his research assistant, Stephen Hart, struggle to find answers. Enlisting the help of zoologist Abby Maitland and student palaeontologist Connor Temple, the four work to uncover the secrets of the temporal anomalies. Yet it soon becomes clear that all traditional methods of research are extinct.
The team is abetted by shadowy government officials James Lester and Claudia Brown, who instruct them to keep the danger secret from the public. Yet inevitably, the past threatens to invade the present and destroy the future. And Cutter's crew faces a life and death race against time.
Adding to the chaos, Cutter is also struggling with a private dilemma. After disappearing for eight years, his wife, Helen, mysteriously returns with possible answers to help halt the invasion of prehistoric creatures. But is she willing to share the secrets? And if not, then why has she returned?
Combining dazzling special effects of Walking With Dinosaurs and Jurassic Park style, action and thrills, plus a haunting love story, Primeval asks a horrifying question — has mankind come to the end of the evolutionary road?
Primeval is coming to Sci-Fi channel starting on Friday April 10th at 10/9C. Catch it if you can. Set your TiVo's or whatever DVR's you have or your old dinosaur VCR's (pun intended). and make sure you don't miss this show.

Bubble on the Sun
Yesterday I was thrown into a total panic. Just before Chip went to work he told me about this story he saw on the news about this bubble that is on the sun and that by 2012 there will be a solar flare that will knock out all the satellites and will end all life as we know it.
Now, when you hear this what comes to mind? I've watched the Nostradamus specials on the history channel and the discovery channel all telling that he stopped writing about what will happen in the future so they think that since there is nothing after November 2012 that it will be the end of the world. Basically judgment day right? Well, when Chip told me that the sun will "end life as we know it" it put me into a total panic.
I was thinking all day that you know, there's nothing we can do about it. There is no way we can fill up a spaceship and board it with all the humans and animals and leave because we don't have one yet. Stargate SG-1 is just a TV show, not a reality. The government can't just start gathering people and animals and take them to Colorado and bring them to the Stargate and put them on another planet. It's not real.
The government might have some contacts with aliens from other worlds and contact them and ask for their assistance to find us a new planet and come beam us up Scotti and take us to our new planet. But I highly doubt they know any aliens and if they did they'd probably want to eat us.
Chip calls on his lunch break and by then my world is in complete chaos. In my head people are running in the streets looting stores and turning over cars. Digging underground bunkers which would do no good if the earth blew up. I asked him what he was talking about.
He said that the ozone layer wouldn't be enough to protect the satellites and they would basically turn off or be disrupted or something. That the electrical grids would probably shut off too and we would be thrown back in time by 100 years, not literally but as far as our technology. The earth is not doomed to destruction and Jesus is not coming to claim the souls lol.
WHEW! Basically we wouldn't have satellite TV or radio and they would have to find a way of repairing the satellites and/or replacing them and they would have to work on fixing the electric grids to turn our power back on. We probably wouldn't have cell communication or email or tv or whatever. We would have to start reading again and the stores would have to use their brains to sell things instead of a cash register because no electricity and all... And all the food would go bad because they need power to keep cold.
But, time will tell what will happen. Perhaps they will have it all figured out by then and they will have Solar panels more in play than they do now for grocery stores and any other business. People will be able to afford solar panels for their houses. I need that because of my bipap machine. If I have no electricity then I'm going to die because I have to sleep with a mask pushing air into my lungs, no air = no life. I die. So this isn't good for me. Unless I can lose 75lbs in the next 4 years I'm pretty much screwed. That is if the fat is what is causing sleep apnea. I don't know that it is or it isn't.
At any rate, now is a good time as any to start taking this diet seriously. I mean, dead seriously if you know what I mean. Maybe if I can lose all this weight then I won't need the bipap machine anymore. That's 1 less dependant.
As far as my electronics are concerned. I have a little solar charger that I can plug into my electronics to charge their batteries. They also sell backpacks that have a solar charger on them so you can charge things so while I'm riding my bike I can be charging things like my mp3 player, PSP and Kindle (if I have one by then). If the cell phones don't work then it won't matter if my cell phone is charged up or not.
If the TVs don't let us see TV anymore then we can all start talking to each other again and read books and maybe the kids can go outside and play and get skinny again. Perhaps this would be good for humanity to shed all these pounds of fat. If the kids can't play with their PlayStation 6 anymore because there is no electricity then they can go play Basketball 2.0. I mean, that's why people have back yards right?
Maybe the bike trails will be packed with people and they will have to turn it into a 4 lane bike trail instead of it's 2 lane bike trail. Who knows.
All I know is that 4 years isn't too far off. Yeah it might seem like it is to some people but I'm 38, going on 39 in a couple of months. These last 4 decades have gone by too fast so 4 years is nothing to me. 4 years can come in the blink of an eye so be prepared for it.

Is 17 Mature Enough for Plan B?
There is a new debate about the age limit being lowered from 18 to 17 for buying the Plan B pill without a prescription. They are asking if age 17 is mature enough to buy this new drug. This drug "Plan B" is meant to prevent a pregnancy within the first 72 hours. It is not an abortion pill but merely a preventative measure against pregnancy.
I think that if a 17 year old is mature enough to spread her legs and have unprotected sex with a boy, whether it be consensual or non-consensual, then she is mature enough to buy this over the counter and not need to go to the doctors office and have to get her parents permission. I mean come on, by the time it takes you to get the courage enough to tell your parents that you had sex then you have to wait for the appointment (that is if you don't go in as a walk-in) a week will have gone by and by then it's too late. You can only take this within the first 72 hours for it to work.
Do you really want there to be more 17 year old mothers in the world? Yeah, I didn't think so. I mean, come on, Maury Povich has cornered the market on finding out who the baby daddy is when it comes to girls who are 12 years old all the way to adulthood. If a 12 year old is mature enough to get pregnant I think she should be allowed to buy this too so I think that 17 is way mature enough.
The debate shouldn't be is a 17 year old mature enough but instead it should be how can we make sure all teenagers who are old enough to have sex get this pill?

All by myself
15-all-by-myself
Since Chip has started working I've been very lonely lol. I'm all by myself now. I figured that while he was away I'd be cleaning or doing something constructive. I do the dishes and laundry when there are some laundry that needs to be done. I mopped the kitchen floor and I pulled weeds but I can't pull the weeds, my allergies are too much for that job.
I figured that I'd get more reading done but today is the first day that I've read my book in at least a week and I only started reading it because I felt like this was the best time to read so why aren't I reading? I only read 1 chapter though, he'll be home in 1 1/2 hours and it takes a couple hours to read 1 chapter, they are long chapters hehe.
Maybe when I get my bike it will be less lonely. Yeah, I'll still be alone but at least I'll be getting some exercise and I'll be outside and on the bike trail. I really miss riding my bike. I don't trust my bike anymore because it keeps shifting gears for no apparent reason so I want to get a new (used) one, a road bike (ten speed) at the thrift store by the doctors office.
I'm glad Chip is working again even though I'm bored out of my mind lol. I have lots to keep me busy though so I shouldn't be too bored. I have my PSP and I got plenty of books to keep me busy and I have friends online to talk to but usually in the daytime even though they are online they are also at work so I don't bother them.
I was thinking maybe now that he has a job I could start playing EQ again. But, I don't know, I'm kinda over it. I also don't want to start spending money on that again because then I'm gonna want the next expansion and then I'll get hooked again and then I'll be on it all the time and won't get anything done and when he gets home I'll ignore him so I think a no on that.
I have plenty of ideas for wood burning but I don't have any wood. I do need to get some so maybe if I had some then that would take care of the boredom.
Maybe I'll write out a schedule for the day. He leaves the house at like 8:30am, he says it takes 10 minutes to get to work. So I figure I''ll leave the house at 8:30am as well on my bike (when I get it) and ride for a couple of hours. Then at say 11am (if I'm back by then) I'll read 1 chapter, that should take 2 hours. Then at 1pm I'll have lunch and do some wood burning for maybe 2 more hours. Then at 3pm I'll clean the kitchen up a bit and do the laundry (if needed).
I don't know, I mean, I don't live my live through a schedule, I do what I want, when I want to lol. I might decide during wood burning that my hand is too cramped up to continue so I'm gonna go do something else or who knows, I might get sleepy after I ride my bike. So let's see how it goes when I get my bike. I also might get sleepy while reading and accidentally fall asleep lol.

Gothic Kittens
I saw this story in the National Enquirer magazine but looked it up and this is the text from that story from MSNBC but is from Associated Press:
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - Humane officers said a Pennsylvania woman marketed "gothic kittens" with ear, neck and tail piercings over the Internet. Officers with the SPCA of Luzerne County removed three kittens and a cat from a home outside Wilkes-Barre.
Officer Carol Morrison said the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals raided the home on Wednesday after getting a tip that the woman was selling the pierced kittens on eBay.
"It's unbelievable anybody would do this to kittens," Morrison said.
Charges are likely against the homeowner, whose name was not released.
Morrison said the woman has a pet grooming business in the basement of the home.
That is such a shame that this woman would do such a thing to these poor defenseless kittens. She was arrested and she should never be allowed to come in contact with any animals unless they are dinner.
