I just witnessed maybe the funniest moment ever, on "Wheel of Fortune"! The puzzle was solved as far as: " A Streetcar Na_ed Desire ".... And the guy guessed >>>wait for it<<< .... "k". I'm sure it will be all over the internet tomorrow, if you don't believe me  I saw that in a rerun at my aunt and uncle's house because they always watch Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune (which air back to back here in St. Louis) and even my 11 year old cousin shouted 'M!'. My obsessed brain obviously had me tell my aunt that a certain celebrity couple named their daughter Stella after 'A Streetcar of Desire' but not Ella after 'A Streetcar Naked Desire'.  |

You know what's funny about that last word? I have no idea what it is or how it's spelled because no one's spelled it out loud for me and my dyslexia has it start with a 'V' when i'm told it starts with a 'C'. I had a special ed teacher who had me take verbal spelling tests. She wanted me to know how to spell a word correctly before I knew how to write it. She thought that it was much easier to focus on writing and reading when you start off knowing exactly how a word is spelled. She was right (where I was concerned). Since that word was never on a spelling test i'm just gonna never use it... |

I know not everyone loves Ancestry.com... which is fine. Regardless of how you feel about them though take a moment to appreciate this: What I love about this ad that they put together to celebrate the 4th of July is the diversity that's present among these descendants of the Declaration signers (brought together to 'recreate' the famous Trumbull painting). It definitely makes me smile: Direct Linky link |

It definitely makes me smile: Direct Linky linkReally touches home for me right now as I'm currently taking World Civ II and U.S. Government classes. My mid term in my gov class was primarily focused on the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution, while in World Civ we're just leaving the 19th century and entering the 20th. Diversity and civil rights (or lack, thereof) are prominate issues in those classes. Ancestry.com or not..... That's a beautiful ad that needs to be played across all media, multiple times per day.

Story from this past weekend: My brother and his family are in town (visiting from out of state) they're staying at his mother-in-law's house. He came over to do some digging around in our basement (where they'd had a bunch of their stuff stored when they moved out of state) and he gets a phone-call from his 11-year old daughter (M) asking what the wi-fi password was.
See, the night previous, he was needing to upload some stuff for his work but the Wi-Fi at his mother in laws was being ridiculously slow - like someone was hogging all the router power or something. He goes through the house, turns off everything he can find that uses the router or the wi-fi, but still the Wi-Fi light on the route is just going nuts like someone is on it. So he logs into the router to change the password (forcibly kicking off any additional devices hanging onto it). Instead of coming up with a whole new password, he just sticks "Not" in front of the existing password. So (naturally password altered for the purpose of this story) instead of being FluffyBunny734 it became NotFluffyBunny734.
So the conversation between him and his daughter on the phone is along the lines of the following:
M: Dad, what's the wi-fi password?
Dad: It's NotFluffyBunny734
M: I know FluffyBunny734 isn't the password anymore, so what is it?
Dad: I told you, it's NotFluffyBunny734.
M:You said that and I know FluffyBunny734 doesn't work. What's the new password?!
Dad: NotFluffyBunny734
This goes on back and forth for a while (a couple minutes), all the time my brother is just losing it the more M gets frustrated with him.... finally M seemed to get what he was saying, but it made for a pretty hilarious exchange until she did.

I'll be spending next weekend with some family I like and trying to avoid any remotely controversial conversations with others that I spend the rest of the year avoiding
