All-you-can-view for a monthly fee! WHERE do I sign up??? That would be awesome! I would sign up!

Ok, I am dieing here. I found a link to this at Laura’s site. Man, that farmer. What a skanky ass. (wink) Oh, that is just too funny. If you’re at work turn your speakers down.

My last name, Selleck, is the 12,139th most popular last name (surname) in the United States; frequency is 0.001%; percentile is 73.145 according to placesnamed.com (Link thanks to BlogAddict). See? When I said was *probably* related to Tom Selleck I wasn’t kidding!

My mother’s maiden name, Zwinger, is even less common – it is the 75,678th most popular last name (surname) in the United States; frequency is 0.000%; percentile is 89.231! 75,678???? Wow!

Added the Bayou City Burb over there in the side nav list. Kathy has set up a site to list all of the Houston blogs or journals, and I appreciate her efforts. Go check out all of the Houstonians! But it brings me to another point. Some might say that by defination this site is not truly a blog. Then again, it isn’t always a journal. I insist on calling it a blog because after all I stuck it in the domain name and everything. And to me, a blog is where you write about whatever you want to log for yourself. Sometimes that is a few links, and sometimes it is paragraph after paragraph of rambling. Sorry for bending the rules. If it makes people feel better I will call it a blog, short for blogournal. How is that? I sense some functionability there…

My ex-husband sent me an e-mail yesterday in response to a joke I had sent to him. He wrote about 3 words about that and then writes, “so how ya doing? I am going to be a dad … kinda scared about it but happy.” And nothing more! If I could fly out to North Carolina right now (he is at Ft. Bragg) and kick his ass I would. We were divorced in 1993 (after being separated for a loooong time). Then he remarried, and his now ex-wife cheated on him while he was in Bosnia. But he didn’t divorce her immediately because he is Mr. Nice Guy and told me, “well, she needs help so she can stand on her own two feet” I said, “well, she should have thought about that before she laid in someone else’s bed!” So he stayed married to her through his tour of duty to Korea (over a year) and they were finally divorced last fall. He just started dating his current girlfriend in January and by February he told me how he was all but living with her. I *told* him to be careful. Sex makes babies. If you don’t want to pay the price, don’t play the game. It’s that simple. Why don’t people understand that? Ugh. My personal measure is simple – if I wouldn’t want to spend the rest of my life dealing with someone then I am not ready to sleep with them. Well, that’s my “goal” measure. We are all human. I haven’t always lived by that rule – but *every* time, in hindsight, I wish that I had and I am thankful that I did not end up pregnant. My ex is 34 now. He knows the consequences of his own actions. He even told me at one point in time when we were discussing the fact that he was basically living with his girlfriend that they were “beening very careful.” Obviously not careful enough! Hmmm… sad but true, there is a part of me that wonders if he thought they were being careful but she knew better? *sigh* I don’t like thinking things like that about people. Maybe their version of “careful” was the fact that she was on the pill – which loses effectiveness when you drink, when you miss a day, when you take it late, when you take other medicine, and the list goes on. Definately not fool-proof. My poor ex. He is *not* ready to be in another relationship, and now this. Geepers. Like I said – sex makes babies. Simple concept. Big results. I wish them both the best. I know my ex will be a terrific dad, so at least that is one good thing about all of this.
