Strongest Dad in the World [From Sports Illustrated, By Rick Reilly] Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in marathons. Eight times he's not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a wheelchair but also towed him 2.4 miles in a dinghy while swimming and pedaled him 112 miles in a seat on the handlebars--all in the same day.

Wow! First, by just reading the title of this video that reads "Strongest Dad in the World", I just thought that it is a dad who lifted a thousand pounds of weights that made him the strongest dad but I was struck and shed a tear after watching the whole video. A truly inspirational kind and beautiful, it shows unbelievable strength and love of a father to his son. A true unconditional love and the father is a true HERO.

We grow old and suddenly want to hurry things.

Don't commit when you are not ready.

Don't keep others waiting endlessly.

To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy

Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong reasons.

To keep yourself warm, buy a jacket.

In the long run, it will be less complicated and less costly.

Take care of yourself, don't wait for someone to take care of you.

No one completes you... except you.

A friend of mine send me a URL through IM to a certain site by fooling me around with some words like "this is a good site that will make you laugh". So I opened it and was Pissed off! You wanna get pissed off? try this URL http://www.infoslash.net but if you don't want to get pissed off don't open it... But I am sure you really want to open this out of curiosity, so maybe try opening it now. hehehehe...

One Blog post about Harold Ford was posted at TheAtlantic.com and read some of the comments made.


Harold Ford is the voice of Appalachian whites everywhere.

Ugh. He is so awful.

My not-very-good-with-names husband asked me twice: "Are you sure this guy is a Dem? He sounds like McCain's campaign worker?"

good stuff, Tim. I've really grown to loathe Harold Ford.
Obama needs talkers who vaccuum up some of that slack space that fills TV news so there will be less dead air for deadheads like Ford to fill.

If Harold Ford is on the TV more than once a week, I fear I"ll strangle myself before November.
I've really grown to loathe Harold Ford.

Harold Ford is a tool.

If Obama wins - Ford, Zell Miller and Lieberman should be shipped on the first banana boat to Haifa. What a ziocon stooge piece of shit. Thank God he lost that Tennessee Senate race.

Can't blame the man for being a little jealous.
I can't believe I voted for him as my congressman. At least, he isnt a crook like most in his family.

I switched to CNN and found the coverage to be much better, for the first time all year.

There once was a bunch of tiny frogs ... who arranged a running competition. The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower. A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants...

The race began... No one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. You heard statements such as: "Oh, WAY too difficult!!" "They will NEVER make it to the top." The tiny frogs began collapsing. The crowd continued to yell, "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!" More tiny frogs got tired and gave up... ...But ONE continued higher and higher and higher... This one wouldn't give up! He was the only one who reached the top! All of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it? A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal?

It turned out that the winner was DEAF!!!!

The flag should always be displayed upright with the union to the top left. Flying the flag with the union down is considered a "breach of etiquette" (Sharpman). However, it can be used as a call for help, similar to SOS, if you are in extreme danger and need assistance.

For a stationary flag displayed on a building, pole or staff, it is customary to fly it from sunrise to sunset. You are only permitted to display your flag at night if it is properly illuminated. This means that you must have a light dedicated to "spotlighting" your flag. A street light or well lit area will not provide enough light. With the right lighting, you can fly your flag 24 hours a day for as many days as you like.

Throughout the years war protesters have flown the flag upside down to show that the entire country is in distress. It is still a debate whether this should be considered a desecration of the flag or an expression of free speech.
