Supernatural's season opener is in eight days. My next couple of blogs will probably be discussing my favorite show. They may take a day or two, but I should get around to it before the first episode. Hopefully

Much love

Well this week Heroes S2 came out. My husband picked it up for me. Only 11-12 epis, but quite a bit of special features. So looking forward to that.

Now I just have to wait until next week and my boys on Supernatural will be out on S3.

Lots of love

Rachel

Hey all just stopping in to show I'm still here.

Rachel

Hey all. Wednesday was a good day. First I started my vacation, three weeks without work. Not going anywhere, just not having to be at work is great. Then went to Borders looking for a CD and they had the new Supernatural mag, which I had just check wasn't suppose to come out till the 22. Then went to Macllasters(so not spelled right, sorry) Deli and they were having a training day so my husband and I got our lunch for free, and it was pretty good food. Just those little things can make a day brighter.

Later

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment

community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours.

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

Rachel

Hey all. Just doing a quick blog to confirm I am still on the site. Haven't been up to posting lately. Trying to get the motivation again, before I was going every day and posting on everyone's blog. I really need to get in there again. Hopefully when I do I am remembered. Well see you soon, I hope.

VERY INTERESTING STUFF

In the 1400's a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to

beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have "the

rule of thumb"

Many years ago in Scotland, a new game was invented. It was ruled

"Gentlemen Only.. Ladies Forbidden"... and thus the word GOLF entered

into the English language.

The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV were Fred

and Wilma Flintstone.

Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the U.S. Treasury.

Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better.

Coca-Cola was originally green.

It is impossible to lick your elbow.

The State with the highest percentage of people who walk to work:

Alaska

The percentage of Africa that is wilderness: 28%

(now get this...)

The percentage of North America that is wilderness: 38%

The cost of raising a medium size dog to the age of eleven: $16,400

The average number of people airborne over the U.S. in any given hour:

61,000

Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.

The first novel ever written on a typewriter: Tom Sawyer.

The San Francisco Cable cars are the only mobile National Monuments.

Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from

history:

Spades - King David

Hearts - Charlemagne

Clubs -Alexander, the Great

Diamonds - Julius Caesar

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the

air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air

the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse

has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

Only two people signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, John

Hancock and Charles Thomson. Most of the rest signed on August 2, but the

Q. Half of all Americans live within 50 miles of what?

A. Their birthplace

A. Father's Day

In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes.

When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed

firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase......... "goodnight, sleep tight."

It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month

after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with

all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their

calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which

we know today as the honeymoon.

In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England,

when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them "Mind your

pints and quarts, and settle down."

It's where we get the phrase "mind your P's and Q's"

Many years ago in England , pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the

rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they

used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle" is the phrase

inspired by this practice.

At least 75% of people who read this will try to lick their elbow!

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that

they don't have e-mail addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if

anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't even have

the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic

HEALTH QUESTION & ANSWER SESSION

Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?

A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... Don't waste them on exercise . Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?

A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?

A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?

A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?

A: Can't think of a single one, sorry My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?

A: You're not listening... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?

A: < B> Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?

A: Are you crazy? HELLO! Cocoa beans! Another vegetable. It's the best feel-good food around!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?

A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?

A: Hey! 'Round' IS a shape! !

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

NEW SUPERNATURAL JAN 31 ON CW AT 9PM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello all. Looks like I have a new little icon. It says that I did a poll of the housewives of Orange County. I don't really remember doing it, but I do do a lot of polls, so all right.

Also sadly Heath Ledger passed away. I loved him in 10 Things I hate about You and A Knights Tale. It is a sad and tragic death. RIP Heath Ledger.

Rachel

NEW SUPERNATURAL THURSDAY JAN. 31, 2008 on CW AT 9 PM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone. Don't you hate watching a movie/TV show and someone points out things that wouldn't really happen? My husband does that all the time. I was watching Bones, and Brennen was interviewing a suspect, my husband was like "she is a scientist, she wouldn't do that", he does the same for CSI when I watch it(not often). I know they wouldn't be interviewing suspects, but it is TV come on! Then on House, they went to a patient's house and was looking for that, I work in a hospital, I know they don't do that, but every time he is like "They wouldn't do that!" I notice a lot of goofs mentioned on the note/trivia section on the episodeguides are like that: the dead body was breathing(well they really aren't dead, they are acting). IguessIam one of those people that just doesn't notice these things, and when I do I don't really care, it isn't real.It is TV. Now if any of you out there are like that, I am not trying to offend, I was just thinking about it today, when my husband was pointing out something. Then noticingthat thereare lots of post on these errors. It just got me thinking.

NEW SUPERNATURAL JAN 31. BOOYAH!!!!!!

Hi all. I have officially decided that my brother has completely lost his mind. He and his wife(together 13 years, married 10)were just recently divorced(he cheated, she cheated to get back-fell in love with the new guy, they busted up). Then he has dated several girls since the divorce, a few monthes ago. Then the other day he calls me up to tell me he is MARRIED!! to a girl he met online a week ago. He is crazy! They have been married like two weeks now, and I still haven't met her. I am just amazed. My parents and other two brothers are with me on the whole crazy idea.I guess if she makes him happy, but wow...he knew her a week! The worst is I am still fairly good friends with the ex-wife and can't say anything to her, but I have almost slipped a couple of times since I last talked to her. Oh what a tangled web we weave.

Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things.. Each year the staff at Beloit College in Wisconsin puts together a list to try to give the faculty a sense of the mindset of this year's incoming freshmen. Here's this year's list:

The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1989.

They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.

Their lifetime has always included AIDS.

Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.

The CD was introduced the year they were born.

They have always had an answering machine!

They have always had cable.

They cannot fathom not having a remote control.

Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.

Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.

They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.

They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.

They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.

They never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a Camel", or "de plane, Boss, de plane."

They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is.

McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.

They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

Coming from someone born in 1980, spm of these are true, but I know some of them.
