Controversy

I seem to be good at it. At least, mild controversy. Understand, the
comments I made about men and women and the word "hot" are
generalizations. I know women are capable of sleazy thoughts, and men
are capable of objective thought. I was just saying, and I have had
this conversation with lots of people, actually. (I used to spend
8-12 hours a day in a van in mixed company) that GENERALLY a man
using "hot" as a reference is more sexual than a woman using "hot" as
a reference.

I would also like to say, for the record, that I do not find Tom
Selleck attractive. He is too hairy.

Now, on to my real topic. Tonight will be my last night in my little
house in the woods. Feeling a little nostalgic. When we moved in here
in December of 2002, it was just one room. The only door inside was
the bathroom. Then we built a laundry room.... and lived for a couple
years. Then I started going nuts and they built the new bedrooms and
the deck. What a pretty little cottage it is now.
I will miss you, little house. I will miss my purple kitchen. I will
miss my pretty little room with all the windows. I will miss the rain
on the roof- badly.
I will miss a house that has the memory of all of my babies, so far.
I will miss Juan and Sandy and the camaraderie and friendship. I will
miss not having rent. I will miss being far enough away that no one
ever drops in.
You have been a good little house. Thanks.

Shannon2-24 said...

bye bye little house..
i'll remember eating awesome tacos & jess' delicious salsa there!

jess said...

Daddy was also good at controversy

BASSicallyN8 said...

did I SAY I wanted an ice-cream cone with that?

jess said...

.... did I ASK for ketchup?

Josh said...

Sniff, sniff. . . bye bye wittle house. So what the future of the cottage? Paul going to live there with a roomy or what?

Crystal- what job did Randy get?

Tron- yes, since you're sick, you get to be right.

jess said...

Juan and Sandy are going to rent it...it will be a good little income for them

Josh said...

Sorry to abandon the conversation I started yesterday. We went to Costco right after work, which means it took me more time to find places to store all the bulk items in our duplex with not much storage than it did to actually go to Costco and buy $266 worth of stuff. Then I pan fried some chicken while Shannon feed Keith, then I needed to make two very important phone calls that started at 8:45 PM and ended at 1:15 AM.

Sooooooooo, I still hold that TC is a hack.

Back to the cottage.

Josh said...

They should rent it to Paul. . . wouldn’t that be funny.

jess said...

I agree that Tom Cruise is a hack.





















(a HOT one)

jess said...

Oh, and Crystal-
I have way too much of a guilt complex to ignore the door... so, If I didn't answer, I wasn't there... or I couldn't hear it... I promise

BASSicallyN8 said...

more like a hacked loogie

BASSicallyN8 said...

are you really gonna leave that as your avatar?
I mean, yes he's done some amazing acting (but even more mediocre acting) and I admit...that smile, OH!..but c'mon. He's a scientology-nut-case-wack-head-trippin-freak.
The only reason to post his photo is if you're praying for him...(but even then, why the picture?)

Josh said...

And further, that pic just makes me want to scratch the side of his head and behind his ears, while saying, “Ahhh, that’s a good doggie. . . you’re such a cute little shaggy poodle. Mommy needs to clip your hair so it doesn’t get in your eyes, doesn’t she shaggy little poodle?”

BASSicallyN8 said...

Fine, I'm leaving town.

Josh said...

But then I’d probably have to whop him for peeing on the carpet.

Beth said...

jess i'm so excited about you in your new house! and yes whatever did happen to singsing?

on the hottie/tom cruise controversey from yesterday, i have to disagree with the "innocent women" standpoint. i think that referring to men as hotties opens a door we shouldn't open. and while i hate to use a p.c. word, it leans heavily toward dehumanizing people, especially when we can only call someone a hottie if we don't know them...

i'm afraid i have to side with the guys on this one. i, as a woman, have to guard my mind just as much, and for that reason, i don't use pictures of guys i think are attractive for anything...because i personally know that my mind might also "go there"

Josh said...

Sweeeeeeeeet! I’m great at making something up!!!

Beth said...

yes, servant9987654321.... is a serious hottie, but i don't mind going there. =)

Beth said...

josh, are you excited that the controversey has extended past day one?

Beth said...

that's awesome, crystal; congrats!

Beth said...

what i was trying to get at earlier was the word "objectification"

jess said...

Sing Sing is in a foster home right now, with Chris and Nat... MamaPC is her next owner, unless somebody else wants her... MPC offered to be the last resort.

Beth said...

jennifer

yikes!

Beth said...

Nate said...

I am sick...and might be the next tenant of Cottage Clark...

jess said...

a few of us gals were tossing around the idea of starting (re-starting?) a Christian School

Josh said...

Can I work the cafeteria line at the school? “You’ll eat your portage, and you’ll like it kid!”

Josh said...

Crystal- that’s great. Congrats to Randy! Where is Mercy going?

Josh said...

Then I’ll tell the girls, “Make sure you eat all your spinach, it’ll give you good back hair!”

Josh said...

I know one thing with out a doubt. . . I AM HOT!

Josh said...

There, that’s better. . . had to go turn the heater off.

Beth said...

a cooperative home school sounds really cool to me

Beth said...

don't let josh anywhere near the lunch line

Nate said...

ok...doctor said upper respiratory infection with severe ear infection. Which explains the dizziness and sore throat...as well as the nausea. I got some anti-biotics...for free!! samples are great no? Thanks Lindsay the P.A.!!

Nate said...

ya...Lindsay the PA with sadler clinic, PA's for Jeremy Laningham and uh..some other guy

Nate said...

nope no shot...

Nate said...

a new pictura

Josh said...

Tron- Sounds bad, glad you went to the doc and got some meds.

The pic is good... duck, duck, goose.

Your last post was at 11:11. Whenever I see 1:11 or 11:11 on the clock, God always uses it to speak to me about Him being my one thing, one thing, one thing... like a continual cry and prayer... "be my one one one one thing."

Josh said...

Lsat

Josh said...

Ltsa

Lotsa minutes in a day
use 'em wisely ; D

Shannon2-24 said...

oops, that ltsa one was from me, forgot to change the sign-in

Josh said...

Think again… lsat!

That was me about the one one one thing. The only one that was Shannon was the last comment shown as me.

We miss you too.
