There Is Nothing Happy About Disney Movies-Video Post
When I think of Disney, I think of childhood heaven, happiness, hugs, kisses, peace, love, and Mickey Mouse. Disney World, DisneyLand-the happiest places on the planet. Let us all hold hands and sing It’s a Small World and wear Mousketeer ears. But that’s not really the case with Disney movies. Not when you really think about it. We all saw Disney movies in the theaters as kids. I specifically remember going to see Lady and the Tramp and crying my eyes during the scene where they are dragging a pound dog to be put to sleep. I’ve tried to block the details of the scene out, but you only saw the shadow of the dog fighting against the leash. I also suffer from post traumatic stress syndrome from Bambi and Dumbo-easily the two saddest Disney films I remember to date. Thankfully, I have suppressed Bambi’s mom getting shot. Unfortunately, we
Ryan Adams From Jacksonville, NC: Meet Your Youngest Fan of “When The Stars Go Blue” -Video Post
I have the useless ability to pretty much know every word to almost every song ever played on the radio. Friends love to play “name that tune” with me to test my frivolous knowledge and I’ve been nicknamed the iTunes genius. I can bust out lyrics from songs from all eras; before I was born, in my early days, etc., and I have no idea where I store this information as most of the time I can’t remember yesterday. I have labeled my knack for knowing songs from my toddler era as “my car seat songs.” Songs that were popular when I was little that my parents jammed out to while I was indirectly exposed to as a hostage in my car seat. My first and favorite to this day is, “My baby takes the morning train, he works from nine to five and then, he takes another home again”
Halloween Aftermath. “AHHHH! MOMMA THAT SCARE ME!” Part 2
If you missed out on part one, see what started all this Halloween fright! What a mess. We were very cautious while trick or treating. Sayle was dressed as Buzz Lightyear and his buddy for the night was a fairy princess-all sweet, happy, no scare Halloween outfits. However, once we ventured through the neighborhood, porches were decorated differently. Our neighborhood is little-kid friendly, so we didn’t have teenagers getting a kick at scaring the little ones, but even the simplest decorations were scary to Sayle. The little motion detector goblins you can purchase a Wal-Mart were an issue unless I went up to the goblin as he was screaming and told him to be nice and play nice, then Sayle would come to the door. Even Sayle’s fairy princess was fighting the spooky and scary by assuring Sayle it was okay. Every Buzz Lightyear needs a level headed fairy princess to
Halloween Aftermath. “AHHHH! MOMMA THAT SCARE ME!” Part 1
As a kid, I remember wandering downstairs after bedtime, complaining that I couldn’t sleep since I knew my parents were out and my older brother was in charge. After whining and protesting, my brother made a deal with me to get me to shut up (as older brothers do). I could eat popcorn with him, but I had to go to bed as soon as the popcorn was gone. You may think this is a trivial memory to keep, but I will never forget it because my brother was watching the movie Poltergeist when it first came out on HBO. I sat on the couch, shoving popcorn in my little mouth as promised, just in time to catch the horrifying clown scene. That clown scared the crap out of me and my brother still thinks it is funny to this day! Due to suffering clown trauma early in life, I’ve
Please Keep Your Language Clean During NFL Season…MOM! A plea to all NFL parents, especially potty-mouth football watching moms
My house is centered around two sports: football and soccer. As you know, my husband is a Manchester United nut and he lives for the English Premier League, the World Cup, Champions League, FA Cup, European Championships and blah-blah-blah. During the 2006 World Cup, I walked in my home to find my living room decorated with empty beer cans and my husband nose-to-nose with our television pleading with England to beat out Portugal via penalty kicks. Unfortunately, England lost that game and I had to leave the house as my husband’s grief was inconsolable. He says it still hurts him today. I, on the other hand, am a football fanatic; If I could I would sit on the couch every Sunday and watch every game on television. Sadly, I am not afforded such luxury, but I NEVER miss a Panther’s game as they are my team, which has become a
My Child Has A WHAT In His Ear??????? Part II-The Reaction and Solution
A WHAT? FUNGUS WHAT? Jump back to the first part of my tale if you missed what led up to this fungus! I was NOT expecting that. New tubes-yes. Suctioning drainage grossness-okay. Fungus-not at all. When I think of fungi, I think filthy, roach crawling, trash everywhere, episode of Hoarders. My house is clean, my KID is clean-both should be fungi free. How in the world did I allow my child’s ear to get so dirty fungi could grow in it? Well, I didn’t. And this fungus had nothing to do with filth, or roaches, it’s actually common for kids with ear issues, like swimmer’s ear, and especially in this area. Here is a parental science lesson courtesy of my $30.00 ENT specialist co-pay. Our kids get water in their ears from the ocean, pools, bathtub-whatever, but all are bacteria city, regardless of how clean you keep your bathtub. Personally, I’m
