I liked Julie's blog entry. Here are some little known facts about me.
I love Star Trek Voyager and Twilight Zone from the 60's.
I am a night owl. Will stay up till all hours of the night.
I passed out on the table delivering Rebekah (after the spinal) and don't remember her birth. It still bothers me.
A lot.
I love to tell people about things I have found. I hate making money off of it.
You gotta love a husband who buys you flowers for no reason. He did this today.
WYSIWYG - no hidden agendas.
I used to be a lot thinner. I am going to be there again soon.
I am diabetic. And I hate it when people treat you differently because you tell them so. My blood sugar will be within normal ranges soon.
I love See's Candies. The pecan turtle ones and the walnut squares.
I hate shopping for clothes and shoes.
Jessica, and now Rebekah, is praying for a baby brother and has been doing so since the beginning of the year. Maybe they will get their prayers answered. (No, I am not pregnant.)
I am a pack rat. I hate getting rid of things. I might need it someday!
I love shooting, but I don't get to, 'cause, who would watch the kids?
I have pretty good aim.
I love doing lists. To the point of overdoing them. I like the challenge.
I don't think my house will ever really be clean.
Welcome to my life.

Star Trek
I started watching Star Trek Voyager when it first aired. I don't know what year. I watched it all the time. I have never before and never since watched a show as often. I would even record it when I wasn't home to see it. I missed the final episode.
I have been waiting all these years to see the final episode. I was not home the two times they showed it, what, about four or five years ago.
I never really got into the other Star Trek movies. Too predictable. Too something. Didn't like the old ones. For some reason, Voyager was it for me.
I watched the final episode last night. Then I watched it again. That little something that was missing is now gone. What a relief!
It was good, but also disappointing. Anticipation of what it would be like is over. Now I know. And I no longer have something to look forward to.
Thanks, Netflix.

How was that?
I remember years ago a friend and I came up with all these questions. Some of them were common knowledge, but I can't remember too many of them any more. Ponderables, or something, I think.
Why do you drive in a parkway and park in a driveway?
Why do shipments go by land and cargo goes by sea?
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk I have a work station...
I believe five out of four people have trouble with fractions.
If quitters never win, and winners never quit, what fool came up with, "Quit while you're ahead"?
I was thinking that women should put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans.
I noticed how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older, then it dawned on me . . . they were cramming for their finals.
I thought about how mothers feed their babies with little tiny spoons and forks so I wonder what Chinese mothers use. Perhaps toothpicks?
Employment application blanks always ask who is to be notified in case of an emergency. I think you should write . . . A Good Doctor.
Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do . . . write to these men? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they delivered the mail?
Before they invented drawing boards, what did they go back to?
Does the Little Mermaid wear an algebra?
How do I set my laser printer on stun?
How is it possible to have a civil war?
If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting?
If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest have to drown too?
If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2?
If work is so terrific, how come they have to pay you to do it?
If you ate pasta and antipasto, would you still be hungry?
If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?
Is a castrated pig disgruntled?
Why are hemorrhoids called "hemorrhoids" instead of "asteroids"?
Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them?
Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song?
What happens when none of your bees wax?
If the black box flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash, why isn't the whole airplane made out of the stuff?
Why is there an expiration date on sour cream?
If most car accidents occur within five miles of home, why doesn't everyone just move 10 miles away?
Whose cruel idea was it for the word "lisp" to have an "s" in it?
Since light travels faster than sound, isn't that why some people appear bright until you hear them speak?
If it's zero degrees outside today, and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be?
Why do you press harder on a remote control when you know the battery is dead?
Why do banks charge you a "non sufficient funds fee" on money they already know you don't have?
Does the reverse side also have a reverse side?
If the universe is everything, and scientists say that the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into?
If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to see it, do the other trees make fun of it?
Why is a carrot more orange than an orange?
Why are there 5 syllables in the word "monosyllabic"?
Why do they call it the Department of Interior when they are in charge of everything outdoors?
Why do scientists call it research when looking for something new?
Why is it that when a door is open, it's ajar-but when a jar is open, it's not a door?
How much deeper would the ocean be if sponges didn't grow in it?
Why buy a product that it takes 2000 flushes to get rid of?
Why do we wait until a pig is dead to "cure" it?
Why do we wash bath towels? Aren't we clean when we use them?
Why do we put suits in a garment bag and put garments in a suitcase?
Do Roman paramedics refer to IV's as "4's"?
What do little birdies see when they get knocked unconscious?
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Should you trust a stockbroker who's married to a travel agent?
Is boneless chicken considered to be an invertebrate?
Do married people live longer than single people do, or does it just SEEM longer?

Alaska
So, my aunt and I were lamenting the short days and early darkness and I said something about how in Alaska in the summer they have like twenty hour days or something (Carsten, you would be the expert here). Then I said, well, that is how their vegetables get so big. So, here, in no particular order, are the best things about Alaska that I can think of.
For like 20 pumpkin pies you only need one pumpkin.
Want to stock up your basement with strawberry jam? "I got 30 quarts from one strawberry!"
If you go on a hike, you don't have to worry about the sun setting and not being able to find your way home.
Fumi salad for 50 - from one head of cabbage!
But Mom, I can't go to sleep while it is light outside!
You never run out of ice for a party.
Fur is IN! Especially if it is attached to a nice warm dog sleeping in front of the fireplace!
Wanna make carrot cake? Get your carrot, shred it, and you've got enough for 3 9x13 size cakes!
Is this not the birthplace of bacon grease cookies? Okay, probably not the birthplace, but they have definitely been made there.
You don't need a refrigerator.
Or a freezer.
A good excuse to use the buddy system.
