snowball when things happen. At first they said it was the signal, then the
cable modem now it could be the computer. Its not a big deal really. I'm
thinking about shutting it off at home. I've been going to sleep slightly
earlier. I still watch my TV and check emails and web sites, but now I have
to be selective on what I read online. I'm on some one elses time.I take my
lap top to a hot spot or goto the local library to use their service. Im
99% sure that Im going to drop my provider and just use my GMAIL addy for
email. Yea sure I won't be able to download ,but all I have to do is ask
over a dozen of people and I can get a rip of what I want. I often wonder
could I cut out TV as well? My neighbors do with out. They still get net
flix or block buster for movies and certain shows on DVD. I miss reading
books. I just dont make the time for it. I'm not going to say have the time
because thats not true, I need to make the time. Everyboy has time that
they need to make their own again.

I often think about how much convience I can do without. Right now about
90% of my meals are home made. Perhaps 1 or 2 meals a week are take out or
from fast food. I know thats been helping me in my weight loss. The trans
fats and excess sugars and oils. I've been enjoying cooking more for my
self and the kids. Im my line of work I would eat like crap beacuse of the
timetable. Get out of work 9 or 10 pm then eat or roll through a window on
the way home. Now I have something waiting at home for me. Sure I still
have to nuke it but so what. Ive been using more spice instead of salt in
foods and thats been helping as well. I really do need to sit and DL my
meal photos on line. Ive missed a day of a few meals but I have logged them
in a note. I have noticed that I do drink way to much soda. Yea its diet
but its too much.Its hard on the kidneys- all the colors and excess stuff
in the can. I need to make my self drink more water, not koolaide, or
lemon ade or iced tea but real H20. That will help me as well.

There has been way too much gun play on TV news in the last few days. The
Shootings in Wis, PA and now the 8 year old that brought a 38 to school....
I have a gun. It's a .357 magnum colt python and it really kicks A$$. I
have it locked and the ammo it stored away from it. At what age do I have
the gun talk with the kids? I also want to take them to learn how to shoot
a bow as well. Are these lessons from a time gone by? There is a book out
there that I need to get. Its from England called the most dangerous book
for boys. It teaches "lost arts" of boyhood. Tree forts, how to light a
fire, make a sling shot,skip stokes, play kick the can and whittle wood
with a knide real old school things. Things that have fallen along the way
side with TV and the internet in the sterile world.When is the last time
you heard the term Blood Brothers? Do you remember when kids would do that?
Cut each others finger or palm and shake the blood together? I was upset
that the US version of the book took out how to make a trebuchet (like a
catapult). Why would they do that? I want the English version.....I'd help
my boys build a trebuchet.
