I just googled "I am bored"

LOL, it was surprisingly entertaining.

Help I am bored · Help I am Homesick · Help I am Dumb · Help I am in Munich and need to use the restroom · Help I am illiterate · Help I am lonely ...

My Favorite Part of Apocalypto

This is a peaceful scene, no violence or anything I found remotely objectionable.
:-)
It relates to my recent thoughts/feelings about consumerism.
DD is tired of consumerism via many other venues (most recently watching and currently reading Fight Club), as am I. We are hoping to make some major lifestyle changes now, during and after our move. I hope we find a place to live, where we can be part of a community, and start some permaculture.

Greg's Solar Oven -this one is long and boring, but the concept is still interesting. You can see LOTS of other solar cooker vids in the box on the right.

Sustainable Living

I have wanted, for SO long, to be able to live in a home powered by solar energy, to live "off the grid", and to grow our own food. Every now and then, reading different things online, I get a little nudge that causes me to learn something new.
I haven't really tried to do much, because we've lived in military housing and haven't been able to DO much. They don't even "allow" us to have a clothes line on our patio- even thought that would save THEM money, because they are the ones paying for our electricity. Also, they encourage us to run the A/C, and tell us to not open the windows because that will clog the filters. ????
They over-irrigate the "landscaping", and don't "allow" us to plant things in the ground on our patio areas. It's SO limiting and frustrating.
I am SO looking forward to living in a new home, and I am hoping and praying that we will find a place we can afford to rent, where we can plant things, and have a clothesline, and build a cob oven, and have solar cookers that the neighbors won't disturb, LOL.

Today, after reading a post and clicking a link, I've been reading lots more stuff about sustainable living. It's been VERY interesting.
How to build a cob oven; how to build different types of solar cookers; rain barrels, etc.

You Gotta Go To School

A "Schoolhouse Rock"-inspired look at the origins of the American education system. Originally recorded with a live audience for "In The Loop" at Minnesota Public Radio in May, 2007. Music and lyrics by Jeff Horwich. More info at http://www.mpr.org/intheloop

Free Printable Letter Tiles

You can buy plastic ones from the teacher supply stores, but I abhor all those little plastic
pieces. ;-) And I like to have more control over how many I have, etc. For now I have created this PDF that has every letter of the alphabet in both uppercase and lowercase. I'll be creating
other files to go with this one later, and you should be able to access the new ones (when available) through my Scribd page.
Feel free to share this link, and print what you need (for yourself or others). Heck, you can write the correct numbers in the corners and use them for extra Scrabble pieces, LOL.
