A Pause to Remember

It was 10 years ago today that Fabio got hit in the face with a goose. He was on a roller coaster. (Fabio, not the goose.) Fabio had to get 2 stitches. It was kinda funny.

Tayler's Last Day


Tayler, one of our interns, left yesterday. He's going to persue a career in car-fixing. I already miss his smiling beard...and his ability to protect us all from zombies...

Leave a message after the tone....>beep<

Here are some fun and a little weird messages you can use if you want to for your answering machine....

"We're sorry, but the number you dialed is disconnected or no longer in service. The number you have reached, 555-5555, has been changed. The new number is 555-5555. Please make a note of it."

*Of course you would put your number in place of 555-5555...

Here's one of my personal favs, because I've met some crazy fans...

"Hello, this is 1-800-PRESLEY, Yes! 1-800-PRESLEY! They say the King died years ago, but we know he's still out there somewhere. So...leave you name and number and tell us where you saw Elvis!"

"Hi, I'm probably here, I'm just avoiding someone I don't like. Leave me a message and if I don't call back.....it's you."

"Hi, this is ___________. Thanks for calling my Fun Phone Line, where you can talk to my answering machine for only 95cents per minute! Please leave you credit card number at the tone..."

Here's a couple from the movie The Princess Bride, (which, by the way, needed to be named something else.)

"I'm writing the definative work on pain, and I would like you to tell me how the machine makes you feel. Remember, be honest. This is for posterity."

"Ello. My name is Inigo Montonya. You killed my father, Leave your name and number and prepare to die."

*Be sure to do the accent with the last one!


So there you have it! Have fun with your answering machine and make people wonder...hmmm

Wordleing...is that a word?

So here's something I saw on Andy's blog...http://thehousefmparty.blogspot.com/ I actually like it a lot...here's an example, this is a daily prayer:

How cool is that? Also, here's a mix of the things on my blog:

Everyone has a Name

I know, your thinking, "wow, that's deep." No, I mean besides your given name, people have a name for you. When they see you or think of you, there are words or names or characteristics or traits that they associate with you. I want to know what people call me. I want to know so that I can work on the negative traits that I am bestowing and also focus on the God-given positive things that I am taking with me wherever I go. I asked my immediate family what was one word or trait they thought of when they see me or think of me...here's the results:


Dad - "Sweetie" ... that's always been my name to him.

Mom - "Beauty" ...My one woman cheering section!

Bro - "Brown" ...what? He said, "You keep wearing so much brown." haha...ok...


So there you have it. These are 3 of my numerous names.


Feel free to add to the list and make your own.
