There is a website that is dedicated to people posting what they would grab if their house was on fire.

Some people post a photo album.  Some people post their camera. 

Some people post their pets.  Some people post their favorite outfit.  Here is the link:  Link

Fortunately, xanga does not need me to take it out of the house.

If your house was burning, what would you take with you?
                                         
                                                                  

Describe your xanga site in one word.
                               
                     

Do you check your footprints when you sign into your xanga?  I am not talking about the total numbers. 

I am talking about checking to see who all visited your site.  I read people in their pulses and posts and some of them always talk about stalkers who read through their old posts.  They mention someone who reads from a specific state so they think a real life friend is stalking them.

Do you check your footprints?
                 
                                                        

My wife and I were watching a movie called “Just Go With It.”  In the movie, Adam Sandler lies to women and lets them think he is married.  He finds himself in a mess when a woman also thinks he has children.  The woman thinks he is more attractive because he has children.

Now I have always thought women who are mothers tend to be hotter than women who are not mothers.  Mothers tend to be unselfish and care about something other than themselves.  That makes them hotter.

A perfect example is Bekka from Milfncookies.  I find her new “Mom” look attractive.

(I hope this takes away all the excuses of all you fat mothers out there.  She is a mother of two.  Yes, I posted this photo with her permission).

The photo suggest a mother who cares about her children and that is just attractive.

Do you think being a parent increases or decreases a person’s hot factor?

Let me give you a hypothetical.  Imagine you are taking a shower and your cell phone rings.  Now imagine you need to grab the phone and it is a friend of the opposite sex.

Now imagine you pick up the phone and begin talking.

Would you feel the need to cover up with a towel?
                          
                                                                                     

I think you all know that I hate to brag about my children.  But my 13 year old son swam 7 1/2 miles today.  It took him 5 hours and 22 minutes. 

(Xanga photos will not upload right now so imagine a photo of someone swimming).

He set today aside to see how far he could swim.  He went to the pool almost every day this summer and did laps for about an hour.  But today he wanted to see how far he could go.  I thought that meant he was going to swim for a little longer than an hour.  My wife came home and told me he had been swimming for two hours.  The lifeguards were counting his laps.

So I went down to the pool and watched him do laps.  He did not take a break.  He kept swimming.  He would grab the water/gatorade mixture we placed in a bottle and he would drink it while swimming on his back.  And then he would turn over and begin swimming again.  I thought he would quit after 3 hours.  He appeared tired.  But he kept going. 

Several people stopped in and watched him for awhile.  Some of his friends dropped in and cheered him on.  I was stunned when he was still swimming after 4 hours.  But he kept going. 

He did 456 laps and 60 laps equal a mile.  The owner of the organization who supplies the lifeguards stopped in and watched him and then he came by with gatorade for him.

It felt like such a big moment for him.  He is the second child.  His older brother is a real athlete and he plays basketball for the varsity team at his high school.  I am not saying the younger son walks in his shadow but I know it is easy for younger siblings to feel like they need to measure up in some way.

But today he stood out in his own right.  He swam and swam and kept going beyond what any of us thought was possible.  And then one moment, he touched the side and began to climb on his knees out of the pool.  His hands looked like the skin of a grandma.  But that went away pretty quick. 

It is nice to see my second child stand out in his own way.

What number child were you?

Next Top Model judge Alex Perry is coming under fire for saying model Alissandra Moone was like “overstuffed luggage.”

The woman is a size 8.  Here is the link:  Link

Now in fairness to the judge, the above photo is being posted everywhere but this photo is the woman in a bathing suit.

So you get a better idea of her body.

I would not call her “overstuffed luggage,” but I would admit she is probably not model material.

Is the woman model material?
                 
                                                                       

Glenn Beck said on his program that we need to stop calling black people “African American” and instead call black people “black” or “colored.”  Here is the link:  Link

Should we call black people

1.  Black?

2.  Colored?

3.  African American?

Have you ever wanted to get up and go and just leave your life?

I am not talking about killing yourself.  I am talking about getting up and just leaving your life completely.  Just quitting your job and leaving everyone behind.

Have you ever thought about leaving your life?

Sometimes I think there are issues that divide the xanga community right down the middle.  It is my understanding that where you live greatly impacts whether you call the following drink a “soda” or a “pop.”  Here is the link:  Link

Do you call it soda or pop?
