Go to google and type in your name (first and last), see what comes up. It's very interesting to see what stuff you've done that's shown up on-line. Or you might find someone with the same name, who's not related. Google yourself, google your family, google your friends, google total strangers. okay the last one might by pointless, but the other ones are fun. I googled a bunch of relatives, friends, some people from church. The sweet thing I found is a family tree thing that my aunt made like 10 years ago on some family tree site. I had totally forgotten about it, so it was neat to see it again. I also found out that my Pastor is an avid Amazon.com reviewer, LOL. And I found my cousin that has the same exact name (first, middle, last), and found some stuff that he's done. which was cool, cause I haven't seen him in like 10 years, so it was nice find out a little about what he's been up to. -- I'm off to google some more people, and see what I can find.

Not really. But I found this great site, while aimlessly wandering the web. IF you've never done that, you should try it. Just go to a search engine and start searching for various things. Warning, you may stumble onto things you didn't want to (i did), so not something for kids to be doing Anyway, I found this site. http://www.ahajokes.com/fun_downloads.html There's various little programs you can download, that do funny things on your desktop. The top one "desktop games", is basically 9 different tools you can use to just whack the heck out of your desktop, then simply exit the program and everything is back to normal. I also recommend the "free cup holder" one. I won't tell you what it does, but I was laughing for quite awhile after that one. The site does recommend that you scan them for viruses, so I'd do that, just to be safe. They're all small files, so even an older computer shouldn't have much trouble on most of them. Have fun and be prepared to laugh.

I've been wanting to find a place where I can share stories/pictures and other stuff about myself. (besides just a blog like here). I'm looking for a little more than that. Does anyone know of any good sites where you can make your own personal webpage? I'm mainly looking for free ones, but a small fee is okay. Anyone?

No not that, get your mind out of the gutter. I'm talking about what stories cable news channels decide to focus on. 2 weeks ago when the 13 minors were trapped in the mine, that's practically all the cable news channels talked about for several days. Now there's 2 people trapped after a fire in another mine (strangely not far from the previous one), but the cable stations are barely talking about it. Just updates during their regular news stuff. It's the same way with that Journalist that's being held prisoner in Iraq. They're only doing small updates now and then. I guess for a cable news channel to really care about something, it has to involve a minimum number of victims. Not sure what the minimum is, maybe 10. Obviously they can't cover every little things that happens everywhere, but what criteria are they using to determine which ones to focus on??? So if you're planning to get trapped/Held hostage/ or seriously injured somewhere, and you want the cable news to care, take along a few friends. LOL, only kidding. Rant off.

In honor of my home state, It's time for some Minnesota jokes. I may live in north Dakota, but I'm a tried and true Minnesotian. ---- You know you're from Minnesota when... 1. You own only 3 spices...salt, pepper, and ketchup 2. You have more miles on your snowblower than your car 3. You know Ole and Lena personally 4. You design your halloween costumes to fit over snowmobile suits 5. You know what leaves make good toilet paper 6. You know the 4 seasons... winter, still winter, not winter, and almost winter. 7. You owe more money on your snowmobile than your car 8. You thought the movie "Grumpy Old Men" was a documentary 9. You think everyone from a different state has an accent 10. Your husband thinks sexy lingerie is a flannel nightgown with only 8 buttons 11. You have 10 favorite recipes for venison 12. You think white rice is exotic and wild rice is a hotdish 13. Somewhere in the state is a piece of frozen metal with bits of your tongue stuck to it. ---- Rules For Visiting Minnesota, AKA ways to get your butt kicked in Minnesota. 1) Don't order filet mignon or pasta primavera at Kroll's Kitchen. It's a diner. They serve breakfast 24 hours a day. Let them cook something they know. If you upset the ladies in the kitchen they'll kick your butt. 2) Don't laugh at the names of our little towns: Fertile, Moorhead, Climax, Cummings, Gentilly, or we will just HAVE to kick your butt. 3) Don't order a bottle or a can of soda here. Up here it's called Pop. Accept it. Doing otherwise can lead to a butt kicking. 4) We know our heritage. Most of us are more literate than you. We are also better educated and generally a lot nicer. Don't refer to us as a bunch of hicks or we'll kick your butt. 5) We have plenty of business sense. You have to make a living up here. Naturally, we do sometimes have small lapses in judgment from time to time (Jesse Ventura) but we are not dumb enough to let someone move to our state in order to run for the Senate. If someone tried to do that, we would kick her butt back to Arkansas. 6) We are fully aware of how cold it gets here in the winter, so shut the heck up. Just spend your money and get the heck out of here or we'll kick your butt. 7) Don't order the vegetarian special at the local diner. Everyone will instantly know that you're a tourist. Eat your steak rare like God intended and have some potatoes with that, for heaven's sake! Also, don't ask what a hot dish is or we'll kick your butt. 8) Don't try to fake a Minnesota accent. We don't have an accent. Do NOT mention the movie "Fargo" as that will incite a riot and you will get your butt kicked. 9) Don't talk about how much better things are at home because we know better. Many of us have visited big-city like Detroit, New York, and LA, and we have the scars to prove it. If you don't like it here, Northwest Airlines is ready when you are. Move your butt on home before it gets kicked. 10) Yes, we know that ice fishing is "not your thing." We don't care. If you don't understand the beauty of being out on a lake when it's 10 below zero then you should go home and try fishing in New York Harbor. Also, if you hog the heater in the fish house we'll kick your butt. 11) Don't complain that Minnesota doesn't really have 10,000 lakes, we actually have around 22,000, so if you whine we'll kick your butt all the way back to Cleveland. 12) Don't ridicule our mannerisms. We only speak when spoken to. We hold doors open for others. We offer our seats to old folks because such things are expected of civilized people. Behave yourselves around our sweet, little gray-haired grandmothers or they will kick some manners into your butt just like they did ours. 13) So you think we're quaint or losers because most of us live in the north woods? That's because we have enough sense to not live in filthy, smelly, crime-infested cesspools like New York or LA. Make fun of our fresh air and we'll kick your butt. 14) Last, but not least, DO NOT DARE to come out here and tell us how the Vikings and the Twins suck (only Minnesotans and true fans can knock'em down). If you do, this will get your butt shot (right after it is kicked). Just mention this once and you will go home in a pine box minus your butt.

Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent. --- A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything." ---- A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says: "A beer please, and one for the road." -------- "Doc, I can't stop singing 'The Green, Green Grass of Home.'" Doc answers, "That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome." The patient says, "Is it common?" Well the Doc replies, "It's Not Unusual." ------- Two termites walk into a bar. One asks, "Is the bar tender here?" ------------ A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger." ----------- Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too. ------------- Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication. -------- A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?" they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer." --------- A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain ; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal." -------- And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to his friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. But, No pun in ten did

Some thoughts for the New Year 1. Life is a sexually transmitted disease. 2. Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die 3. Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks. 4. Some people are like a Slinky...not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs. 5. Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in a hospital bed dying of nothing.

Today I went to get my haircut. the place was busy and there was this lady sitting right next to me, that had a baby and another kid around 4 or so. This guy comes out, after getting his hair cut and starts making all kinds of strange sounds and stuff to amuse this baby. He even lifted his shirt and was shaking his belly and his man-boobs(really gross.) THis guy totally reeked of Alcohol and was clearly Drunk. I know what Drunk people act like, I have many memories of my dad acting that way years ago. I was literally about 2 seconds away from physically removing this guy from the place myself, but the people that worked there told him to leave and he left. Some people just don't know how to behave in a public place.

10 most memorable moments in reality TV in 2005 10 Its finally over (Amazing Race 8) Finally having this lame season over was definitely a great moment. 9. Heads will roll (Apprentice 4) The mass firing of 4 Apprentice candidates in one boardroom. Quite possibly the best moment ever on Apprentice. 8. Dolphin boy Ian (Survivor 10) Ian drops out of the final immunity challenge, but only if Tom will take Katie to the finals. A collective HUH? Was heard around the country. 7. Steph is the sole Survivor (survivor 10) Not really, but when she was the last Ulong remaining and had to live on her own, I thought it was pretty interesting to see. 6. Nerd Herd Meltdown (BB6) Final 4 (April, Maggie, Ivette, and Janelle). The remaining Nerd Herd members begin turning on each other. 5.
