Another Rant About Teachers.
This week, Facebook was flooded by the following status:
“Tonight a teacher somewhere in your neighborhood is getting ready for your child's new school year, writing lesson plans or writing your child's name in their grade book, while you are watching television. In the minute it takes you to read this, teachers all over the world are using their "free time," and often investing their own time and money for your child's literacy, prosperity and future. Re-post if....you are a teacher, love a teacher or appreciate a teacher!”

Summer Nights, Summer Hazards, It’s a Baseball Game!
I’m not a baseball fan, but when I was offered two tickets to a recent Bisons game, I grabbed my hubby and headed on over. After all, what’s better than sitting out on a nice summer’s night, drinking a couple cold ones and eating some stadium food? But not having been there since I went to see the group Chicago perform after a game back in, let’s say, 1994, I wasn’t prepared for what I was about to experience.

Is There Really Magic In The Fair?
Unless you’ve been living in a hole, you know that the Erie County Fair is taking place (or America’s Fair, whatever). I’ve been to the fair a zillion times in my life, and I even worked at it for years when I was a kid. I was obsessed with it and, this is a little embarrassing, but I used to cry when it left town. (I’m hoping I was crying because the fair leaving signaled the end of summer. )

Why Technology Sucks
Just a small rant today about technology. What’s the point in buying the latest and greatest if they’re just going to develop an even greater product in a few months?

‘Surviving the Cut’ – Sometimes, I’m Thankful That I’m a Girl [VIDEO]
“This is designed to hurt. This is designed to hurt.”
This was uttered over and over again on a recent episode of “Surviving the Cut,” a kick-ass show on the Discovery Channel.
If you haven’t seen it, it’s an intense look at military elite forces training

Do Babies and Pets Have Nightmares? [VIDEO]
For whatever reason, this week my sleep has been riddled with nightmares. Super scary, I feel like crawling into my parents’ bed kind of terrifying. So, while I was sweating it out in the middle of the night, too scared to go back to sleep, I began to wonder: what must babies and animals think when they have nightmares?
Now, I don’t have an actual baby, so I’ve never experienced a baby having a nightmare. But I do have my “babies” – animals – one of which has frequent night terrors. Can you image what’s going through their minds?

What happens when the fishermen become the fish? [VIDEO]
Did you see the images of the Great White Shark that jumped out of the water and landed in a boat? Holy. Crap.
Luckily, the boaters were researchers and not fishermen (or in this case, fisherwomen), so karma was on their side

Is Anyone Else Freezing?
OK, OK, I’m kind of being a jerk. But honestly, as I type this, I’m wrapped in a blanket with a heater on.
You see, this is why I don’t mind the 90+ temperatures: people abuse air conditioning
