Changes Changes

Ok ok, posting everyday didn't work out to great. I'm way too busy with 5 kids and teaching.

LOL

:)

So I am making some changes to this blog.

I am still going to be posting good sites to go to on the internet, but I won't be doing it everyday and hopefully the posts will be better because of it. Also, the blog will NOT end after 1 year.

I'll keep it going....

Holy smokes holy smokes! I GOT A GOOD ONE!

LIMITED TIME ONLY!

Mishka is about to give birth live on the web cam!. EASY now, Mishka is a cat.

LOL

Now I think I might have said in the past that one may be able to go to Justin.tv for sports.... maybe not. But never have I seen that live webcams are also here!

This is a whole new part of the site that I love!

There is also:
Baby Pugs, Guinea Pigs, Chickens and Goats, Chicken Coup Living (a VERY GOOD one)

Project Exploring the Internet: Day 127

Storyjumper.com is a site kids can go write their own story and save it.

I'm impressed with this site. It's a great idea to get kids writing and to let them share it.

Project Exploring the Internet: Day 123

In case any of you decided to order chickens like I am going to soon, I found this site about Raising Chickens.

An example....

Why Raise Chickens?
Here are a few of the most frequently expressed reasons people raise chickens:

Easy and inexpensive to maintain (when compared to most other pets)
Eggs that are fresh, great-tasting & nutritious
Chemical-free bug and weed control
Manufacture the worlds best fertilizer
Fun & friendly pets with personality (yes, you read that right)

Project Exploring the Internet: Day 122

Almost time to order baby chicks....

By the time they get here and grow a bit it will be about that time. I want to order them early this year.

A good site to order from is McMurray Hatchery. Click on that link and it will take you to the Sultans page. I'm thinking of ordering those and breeding them with Cochins and Light Brahmas to make a bird that can really handle the Minnesota winters well.

Project Exploring the Internet: Day 116

Audacity is a tool you can use to record audio on your computer.

So I am used it to put play-by-play action on my son's basketball game that I recorded.

I'm not the greatest basketball game announcer but the Audacity tool worked GREAT!

The example: Giizhik's Basketball Game

Project Exploring the Internet: Day 90

Dang! I missed a day.

LOL

How do I miss the first day of the new year?

What on earth....

Oh well. I'm still doing it for a year (and a day). I'm still doing the 365 days.

No worries.

I got caught up with a sick wife and online poker (I was winning).

:)

I found a site today called, Finest Quotes.

One movie I just love the quotes from is Tombstone.

"Maybe poker just isn't your game, Ike. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!" -- Doc Holliday

"I'm your Huckleberry." -- Doc Holliday

"You're no daisy. You're no daisy at all!" -- Doc Holliday

"You're a daisy if you do." -- Doc Holliday

"I have not yet begun to defile myself." -- Doc Holliday

"Yes, it's true. You are a good woman. Then again, you may be the Antichrist." -- Doc Holliday

"Skin that smokewagon and see what happens." -- Wyatt Earp

"You gonna do something, or just stand there and bleed?" -- Wyatt Earp

"There is no normal life Wyatt, There's just life." -- Doc Holliday
