Win Brian Gardner News Revolution Theme

hp-test I want to win, you can try too. 

Why do I want to win, so I can read the code and learn from it.  Brian is one of the best coders around in my opinion and I have studied his Blue Zinfindal theme as inspiration for many of my changes here.  These new News style sites are very intriguing from a code standpoint.

I am pretty sure that Scott over at www.mdcrei.com would like this as a theme, so after I won.  I would probably load up his site with it.  I am nice like that you know.

There you go, my honest reasoning.  It isn’t all that creative, but wish me luck.

Bathroom Faucet Still Leaking…

This is a sponsored post!


My bath faucets are still leaking. Larry replaced a big section of the copper pipe with PVC yesterday. It was still leaking at the faucet, so he tried but wasn’t sure if it would work. This resin stuff on the faucet pipe, well he was right. It didn’t work. It is leaking now worse than before. I have actually turned my water off now in between when I need it.

So, tonight I will be getting new faucets. I am leaning towards something like this with two tone coloring. I need big bases on them though because my old faucets were big and they cut out the shower thingy to that size and now I have to cover that all up.

Anyways, I was looking over here getting an idea of what was available in the faucet arena. There is masses of selection on faucets. It is wonderful to see the options that will fit best with my lack of decor.

The site is full of tips for purchasing and even offers free shipping.

First Irish School Bus Driver Ever Killed In Line Of Duty…

Thousands mourn this driver who lost his life last Wednesday.  He died while saving lives, but the details are not known to me. 

I think it is sort of neat that the students are lining the street like they are standing for the bus as the funeral goes by, but could you do that??  It would be so very sad, let alone it being young kids.  I can’t imagine all the tears being shed for this one.

Here is the PDF.

Multiple Times a 5 Year Old Not Getting Taken to Proper Bus Stop…

I don’t forgive drivers that let 5 year old students off the bus at the wrong place.  I know this is probably the wrong position for a driver and I should possibly support my fellow drivers.  I think it is despicable though.  It is better to not let them off than to let them off at a wrong place to fend for themselves.

Well, this story is one I have been seeing to frequently and basically nothing as far as punishment for the driver is being reported.  I feel completely embarrassed for this school district and this driver and completely bad for this parent who is going through this. 

A stranger brought her kid home.  Here is the PDF.

What would you be feeling if this were your kid and this were the 2rd time not let off properly in only 6 days of school.  Would you have confidence in the system??  I know for sure, I would be angry.

School Bus Driver Passes Out Crashes Into A House

I don’t usually talk about school bus accidents, but I don’t know why this one caught my eye.  This bus pummeled into a house.  Luckily it was empty.  It is the result of an unknown medical condition as well.  So hopefully the driver will get this condition made better as well as the two broken legs.  That would be so terrible….I wish the best of luck to all involved.

Here is the PDF.

Mom Pulls Gun on Bullies…

We all have dealt with bullies and it sucks.  This mom shows us all a completely inappropriate way to deal with them.  She pulls a gun on them and threatens them if they should pick on her kid again.

This one proves I haven’t seen nearly everything.  I can’t imagine how it would feel being this driver and calling 911.   Here is the PDF.

What would you have done as the driver??

Situation Sunday - October 7th

Situation # 1
What is your first reaction, and what do you do when you accidental walk in on a ” Unpredicted” situation….Scenario– your child or a relative masturbating?

Leave the room trying to get the image I just saw out of my head.  I don’t think I would say anything about it though unless talked to me about it.  I would probably apologize for walking in like that though.

Situation # 2
You are a a state park and you and a friend are going to do some hiking. It is a beautiful day. The weather is perfect. You both decide to take the Blue Trail, which is a total of 6 miles of rugged terrain. As you go along having a wonderful hike,{ 2.5 miles into it} one of you needs to venture off the path for a moment for a nature call. As that person is away the other feels like someone is following or watching them. They seem to be waiting a while for the other to return,,,and finally starts calling their name and no response. And the feeling that some one else is watching is growing stronger-……you hear your friend scream then sudden silence…..What do you do?……{No cell phones}

I guess I would be risking whatever and calling my friend while running in the direction that she/he left for the bathroom break.

Situation # 3
You have recently purchased this home in a great neighborhood. You have a deck on the back of the house, a nice lawn and a swing hangs from two White Burch trees. You have grown a costumed of going out on your deck and having your morning coffee after all have left the home in the morning…..Spouse to work….Kids to school. And you notice no wind is blowing but the swing starts swinging back and forth….as you venture closer to it….you hear giggles and you can see a clear pattern of a butt print on the seat……What do you do?

Hope that the butt impression is having a good time.  It wouldn’t bother me though either way.  I probably honestly wouldn’t have noticed something like this.
