A real “moo”sance

Just when you thought frivolous lawsuits couldn’t get any more ridiculous, I share with you this story from the state of Minnesota. Well, technically it’s not a lawsuit but it still falls in the same category as far as I’m concerned and more importantly, it’s completely idiotic. A woman who lives in Washington County, MN has been charged with a violation because her cow, Wally, moos too much. The complaint was lodged by her neighbor who has called the police over 20 TIMES to complain. The real kicker…Wally and his owner live on a FARM which is zoned as a FARM which means she could have up to 50 HEAD of cattle if she wanted. To Wally’s Owner’s Neighbor: Seriously, dude. Do you really have nothing better to do with your time? Get over yourself. It’s a cow. It moos. If you can’t handle it, well then…MOOOOVE on! For the full story, click here.

You Are My Sunshine

Too cute for words, really…

Always use a spotter

Rarely does our little blog get used for our personal complaints and moments of whining, save for a recent post about people’s lack of grammar skills, but today I feel as though a little whining is needed. This morning I was doing my usual weight-lifting routine, by myself, at home with dumbbells. When I started doing my dumbbell fly press (at a measly 20lbs. per arm), I over extended my right arm and I’m pretty sure my shoulder popped out and back into the socket. Needless to say, it wasn’t a pleasant experience and it’s the same shoulder I injured about 12 years ago when I slipped while running sideways up an incline. So, the moral of the story (other than I’m a founding member of the “Not So Smart” club) is always use a spotter when you’re lifting weights.

UPDATE: So as I’m heading out the office to make a hospital call, I realize I forgot my sunglasses on my desk and as I turn around to come back and get them, I smack my face on the door jam leaving a nice mark on my forehead as seen in the image above. I’ll be happy if I make it through the day without injuring myself anymore.

The ABC Song…sort of

Rome has really started to mimic us when we sing and one of his new favorites is the ABC Song. He especially likes the part that goes “Q, R, S…T, U, V”. We hope you enjoy the video and we’ve also posted some new photos.
