Friday....
See ICL SNAPS for my picture for ADDICTION submitted for Photo Friday. No it's not a picture of me blogging!!! Actually I had a fair number of drinking pictures, a couple that were really good that I would have liked to submit but they were of werk associates, so I decided against it.
So what else is happening .... ?
I will share with you some werk related good news. I got an 'Outstanding' on my performance review. My first one at this company. I usually get 'Exceeds Expectations' which I am always very happy with, but ya, I did have a good year last year. Really helped that I knocked off all but one objective in a big way, helping the organization achieve theirs handily. Oh and they don't hand out the good reviews willy-nilly, they follow a bell curve. I'm happy to be recognized. Otherwise I'd be pissed. hee hee
THE OFFICE was a rerun last night - the last two weeks have been re-runs. BOO HISS!
American Idol - ho hum, yawn ... there's a few good ones but I'm not really into it this year, probably because so many of them suck!!! I didn't even watch the results last night. Who got kicked off? Please tell me if you know and describe them too, cause I don't know their names.
'kay so I will quit boring you 'cause I'm boring myself with this post.
Oh, gotta go play Stacy's trivia game. Click on the purple knight on the horse on my sidebar if you want to check it out.

My sister got a new puppy named Crosby. Well guess who now has joined their family as well? Crosby's sister, Winnie.
Turns out that Winnie is not as hyper-allergenic as they hoped. Her Dad had bad allergies so they were looking for a home for her and my sister scooped her up. What's one more puppy, right?
Different hair textures, colours and personalities, but two beautiful dogs.
See them interact with mine in the following video. Watch for the ginger cat on the chair trying to take all the action in.

I want a new drug
Her latest thing is promoting the benefits of 'Bioidentical' hormone replacements. She maintains that while it's unclear if they will shorten her life at all due to hormone replacement therapy risks, she says it's quality of life that is important to her.
As I enter my perimenopausal years, I often wonder if I would be better off with hormone replacements, bioidentical or not. I'm just starting to research into it further.
I'm interested to know the thoughts and experiences of my readers.

What's up Flossie?
I'm not a fan of blog ads or PPP and stuff like that. I think I've made myself clear on that point before.
I do, however, like to endorse something that I think is great.
A little bit of background. My teeth are very tight. I don't mean they're 
stingy, because well, ... how could that be? What I mean is they are crowded. Consequently I never liked to floss. That dang floss was always getting shredded and sometimes even stuck in my teeth. Now what good is that? An inviting breeding ground for bacteria for sure.
Ya so every trip to the dental office I would think am I gonna lie or am I gonna tell the truth about how much I floss? As I'm lying in the chair and they're probing my gums and blood is swirling around my mouth I change my mind a few times about how I'm gonna answer the dentist or hygenist's question "So how often are you flossing?"
"Not as much as I should" is usually my standard answer, but that was getting kind of lame. I also managed to get away with "A few times a week" a few times, or at least I thought I got away with it. They were probably chuckling under their face masks, "Ah-ha-ha, these gums haven't seen the backside of dental floss since the last time her butt was in this chair."
My most recent response was pure genius I thought. "Well I start off really good after my checkup and it kind of peters off to only a few times a week". Lie! LIE! LIE!! Their beady little eyes peering over the attractive monkey masks say to me.
Anyways, over 6 months ago, my hygenist, Laurie (she's also my neighbour but we don't see each other much so she does kinda just feel like my hygenist) recommended that I try the Reach Access dental floss tool and she gave me a free one to take home. Even better than that was the advice she gave to go with it. She said to dip it in mouthwash and floss.
So I gave it a try, because I really like Laurie, but I figured this too shall pass. I also changed my routine and started flossing in the morning after I brush. At night I was always too tired. One more thing to do after brushing was just more than my tired eyes and body could take. When you do it in the morning, it makes sense because you're dipping it in the minty mouthwash and your teeth feel all clean and fresh. I run the Reach flosser under the tap every once in a while, do another dip and floss some more. I rinse my mouth with the remaining mouth wash and am fresh as a whistle.
So if you're reading this still it must mean that I care for you and the feeling is mutual, otherwise why would you stick it out this far? So did you know that gum disease is a serious cause of shortening your lifespan? So since I love you and all, and if you're not a good regular flosser like MIST1, then I would really like you to try out this product and process.
I've been flossing regular at least 5 times a week with this and that is waaaaaay better than before. Laurie was so proud!!

There's a lovely lady on this blog who I think you should check out.
Her blog is about her life and it's called The Life of Riley. Only her name is Olive, but goes by Ollie.
Ollie blogs about her past, sharing stories about her sons, the present and local happenings in Australia where she's from. She includes pictures for any of you photo buffs.
She uses a wheelchair, but that doesn't seem to stop her. Oh, but she does have the help of Mike, to write her blog, except she calls it her blob. She especially likes to tell her stories and hear back comments from around the world. Mike thinks it is a good project for her, because it keeps her mind active.
So go check her out and give her some good attitude.
Did I mention that she is 107?

The Last King of Scotland
Great movie. Sucks that it is based on real life events.
Amin's love for things Scottish, is based on fact. You will see movie clips of marching Scottish bands in Uganda in the following great site . There is a timeline that gives you the historical timeline of Idi Amin and Uganda, with original footage and photos interspersed with some movie clips and photos.
Forest Whitaker, of course, won the best actor Academy Award and a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Idi Amin in the film.

Sunday Only Speak ~ Quiz time!
 | You scored as Christianity. Your views are most similar to those of Christianity. Do more research on Christianity and possibly consider being baptized and accepting Jesus, if you aren't already Christian. Christianity is the second of the Abrahamic faiths; it follows Judaism and is followed by Islam. It differs in its belief of Jesus, as not a prophet nor historical figure, but as God in human form. The Holy Trinity is the concept that God takes three forms: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Ghost (sometimes called Holy Spirit). Jesus taught the idea of instead of seeking revenge, one should love his or her neighbors and enemies. Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross to save humankind and forgive people's sins.
