Grow Some Hair, To Show You Care

I have always wanted to be like Santa Clause.  He really is an idol for me with his bowl full of jelly, long flowing beard and heart full of charity and Christmas spirit. 

Although I'm not too fond of the bowl full of jelly part, I am definitely excited about growing out my long flowing beard in order to help out those less fortunate this Christmas season! 

The Christmas Beard Foundation is trying to raise awareness (and donations) to help out orphans in the Ukraine that really need some help.

So why not be a little bit more like St. Nicholas this Christmas season by donating even a few dollars to help those in need and by growing out your beard to raise awareness for this worthy cause. 

Ask yourself this: What would Santa do?

Do you think that Alexis would go for this?

So, we don't have any kids yet and Christmas is coming up pretty soon, so I was thinking that maybe it is time that we make another addition to the family.  I know, it seems a little bit soon but I've thought a lot about this and I think it is the right decision.

Do you think that Alexis would go for this?

The World as We Know It

Lawn eats old man in Florida!

(http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45101955/ns/us_news-life/)

Fantasy land and Middle-earth aren't the only places that plants and trees come to life.  Hoping to wage war against his lawn, this man decided to walk into enemy territory to retrieve his paper. 

As you can see, he paid the price for his arrogance.

Robo-Dumbo walks again:
From 2010 to the present, approximately 1,000,000 people died of cancer in the United States, Haiti was devastated by the largest earthquake in 200 years, and the U.S. government almost 'shut-down'.

But wait, there is a shining ray of hope: Dumbo is walking again!

After 4 years of scientific innovation with the express aim of realizing this elephant's dream of walking again--Robo-Dumbo was born.

It is good to know that our best and brightest are making headway in the noble, uphill battle for elephant prosthetics.

Oh, Ohio: The Jungle Book Gone Bad

Don't you just hate it when your neighbor lets their dog pepper your lawn with its "Christmas Gifts"?  Well, at least your neighbor doesn't own Lions and Tigers and Bears! Oh my!

There is an important lesson to be learned here.  If your neighbor is a recently released convict with 56 "exotic" animals on his property, you might want to look into relocating.
