1. Hump a Veteran. It's the least you can do. As soon as I get off, I'm gonna track one down. You should do the same.
2. Hump the inventor of cookies. I love you and hate you. Why did you make them so tasty while you knew they would jack my stomach up? I haven't had cookies in forever, and until the other night and the next day it felt like I had fallen off of a 4 story building and landed stomach first onto a sharp boulder.
3. Hump the place I went to interview at the other day. You want me as an employee but you want me to take a $7/hr pay cut, have to pay an extra $200/month in health insurance, and to trade in my jeans for a new wardrobe of slacks and button up shirts. Well I guess you do. Thanks, but I think I'll pass.
4. Hump Google for having Holiday Spirit. They will be providing free WiFi at 47 airports through the end of the year. If for some bizarre reason you want to share the Hump Day List with others on the go, You can do it for free.
5. Hump the LHC and all people involved. Do we need this? What are the benefits v.s risks? Do you know what a theory is? It is a thought of how something works. Not factual evidence. I don't think people should be messing with this thing. It has more potential danger than good. I haven't been sucked into any of the 2012 conspiracies but they estimate that this thing will produce the "God Particle" in about 3 years. HMMmmm. Lets shut it off and leave it buried. If you haven't head of this thing, research it before reading the hotlink. I'm not proclaiming doom and gloom but I do think it's something that should be left the hell alone.

Thanks for partaking in another one of my weekly mental flushes. Have a wonderful day and I will be stocking up on mental fiber to keep me regular.

there is an amusing article on time.com about how they think the latest problem of the LHC was from time traveling birds from the future because the Future doesn't want it built. LOL It's pretty geeky.
Yep $100 is our limit this year too. I think I told Crystal that. Why should we spend more than that? They already have SO much. Better to find the things that they really want and will appreciate, then buy them a bunch of just "filler".
And, as we all know, Christmas isn't about presents. It's about the spirit of kindness, generosity, and love. That's what our kids should feel, not, how many THINGS did I get?
Yeah. We totally took your idea. Whoops! Think about it. $100 is a huge chunk of money right now. 3 kids = $300.
Plus Crystals b-day next week, my dad's on Dec 10th, and mine and Harmony's B-day 3 days after Christmas. Oh then starting the year off again, Devons is on Jan 6th followed by Velentiens day and V's birthday.
I want to encourage people to make babies throughout the year so the b-days don't pile up like this. C'mon, lets get started people.
Yep, Christmas this year will be lighter than last year's for us too. I think everyone is feeling a pinch.
I agree on the b-days too we have some domino effect months in our family too...one after another, it gets crazy!
Your comment on airlines making all this money made me laugh. Guess you haven't heard they have all been in bankrupcty (except SW) and the old administration bailed them out. Spent 22 yrs in the airline industry. It's broken and broke. You should be glad you didn't get it. I know that sounds harsh but you were saved Chris. No golden parachute except for the executives as usual. Pilots have all taken pay cuts including the one who just landed safely in the Hudson river....just to keep his job. It sucks. You had your guardian angel looking out for you there even though right now it's hard to understand. I pray it gets better for you and your family and all of ours.
Forget Google. They do their little cutesy things with their logo to celebrate certain days (Happy Iranian New Year! Happy Ray Charles Birthday!), but not ONCE have they ever commemorated 9-11. Not once.
Forget 'em.
You have FAR TOO MUCH FREE TIME if you can read that many freaking articles on something called the Large whatever electron nucleo-reactor thing MY GOD I HAVE SEVEN PILES OF DIRTY LAUNDRY AND EIGHT SCREAMING KIDS. ARE WE LIVING IN THE SAME HOUSE?????
I wish we could do $100 total for Christmas for my kids...we're going to be lucky if we have $10 by then. Looks like I'll be in the Toys for Tots line to get crappy toys yet again for my kids...unless a miracle happens and either me or my husband gets a job, but we've been looking for almost 2 years, so fat chance of that.
(Ok, back to the real reason I wanted to comment)...
Thank you so much for putting Veteran's first. I've read way too many things today that were negative about veteran's and the military, it's nice to see what you and your wife have posted for the day.
And my husband says the LHC should be taken apart and forgotten about...it's too big of a risk (coming from an electronics student who's researched the dang thing for hours on end).

Sorry but I had to point this out... What's 9 months before December/January?
MARCH/APRIL! What's in march/april?
SPRING BREAKKKKK!!!!
HAHAHAHA! I'm not gonna tell you to stop but at least use protection on spring break. Your kids will thank you that they weren't born around the "broke ass" holidays. LOL
I have 3 sisters - all born in the first 2 weeks of February. I'm the lone holdout - born in September. Our birthstones played havoc with Mom's Mother's ring. We had to add hers and Dad's birthstones to help separate all the amethysts.
Good Luck to you and all of your commentors on family Christmas this year. I'm not flush but I'm only buying for the 2 littlest kids, 6 yo greatnephew and 4 yo greatneice. I don't have any of my own. I do however do the main part of Christmas Dinner at my house.
In talking about the LHC theory In my mind the very last sentence tells it all.."If nature truly did not want us to discover the Higgs, a cosmic ray would have zapped the embryo that became Peter, preventing its development into a physicist," he says." That right there should SHOOT DOWN any theory about "back to the future"!!!!
