Lisa Farmer’s Infamous Crap Dip?

Lori

Thanks to spell check, many people can no longer or never really learned to proofread their work. Rarely does a day go by that you can browse the news reports without finding something misspelled, words left out, or sentences that don’t even make sense. I don’t expect error-free work from personal blogs, but I do expect it from professional news sources. It is sad that quality in everything has plummeted, and what’s even sadder is how it has become acceptable.

Feast your eyes on Lisa Farmer’s Infamous Crap Dip which was posted by a local news station this morning.

Of course, if you check the ingredients, you’ll find that this is a recipe for crab dip. That sounds much more appetizing.

I have a friend that once worked for a small-town newspaper.  I remember her telling me how they would come up with their own comical headlines for many of the stories that were yet to be published in the newspaper.  This was all well and good until one headline failed to get corrected before the newspaper was published.

Now, I can’t help but wonder if this was truly a typo or if it is a headline that didn’t get corrected before it was published.

Are You a Morning Dove or a Night Owl?

Lori

Scientists have come to realise the importance of understanding a person’s chronotype, the time of the day when they function the best.

Knowing how much of a lark or an owl we are should help us live more healthily in the modern 24/7 world.

via BBC News – Are you a lark or an owl?

Here’s an interesting article from the BBC on morning doves versus night owls.  According to this report, it’s all in your genes!  I’ve been a night owl all my life.  It’s just the way I am.  My husband is an extreme morning person.  Between the two of us, there is someone up in our house almost 24/7.

Something this report did not focus on was the percentage of morning people versus night owls.  That would be an interesting statistic.  Why is it that the morning doves have won out?  When I say “won out,” I mean that most businesses and schools open early in the morning and are closed by 5:00 or 6:00 pm.  That’s the time that I’m roaring to go and feeling my best.

I do believe that night owls get a bad rap.  For some reason if you’re not up early in the morning, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, you are lazy.  And if you like to stay up late at night, we’re led to believe it’s because we have a lack of discipline and aren’t going to bed when we should.  The truth is, my most efficient time of the day is in the evening after the rest of my family has gone to bed.  I still accomplish just as much in a day as a morning person, I’m just on a different time schedule.

One of the beauties of home education is its flexibility and not having to adhere to the 8:00 to 3:00 school schedule.  I found that my older two kids functioned better earlier in the day, so we tended to do the tougher subjects first thing in the morning.  However, I now have a child that is not at all a morning dove so we end up doing a lot of her school work in the afternoon.

Do you consider yourself a morning dove or a night owl?  How has this effected your life?

Don’t Let Your Smoke Detectors Become a Hazard

Lori

Dave from Kids and Character explains how changing the batteries in their smoke detectors caused a fire that gutted their home.  This is an important message.

I experienced a situation one day when I found a battery lying around the house and stuck it in my pocket.  I also had a few coins in my pocket that I had found while cleaning house.  Later that afternoon, my leg felt like it was on fire.  The coins had come into contact with the battery posts and the battery became extremely hot.  I understand completely what Dave is saying here.  Please dispose of your batteries properly, and share this video with your friends and family.
