Children Shows

I was meant to post this a long time ago but I have other things to post which will not make my blood boil just writing it. Anyway, since we have 3 days off from my kids lessons this week I decided to do it today.

Mickey Mouse Club House is very popular. I do not watch that much TV shows and even if I watch something I can never finish watching it until the end. I was cooking something and I was able to see the TV in the kitchen. This is not actually the very first time it happens or the same episode was shown but this time it just click in my brain.

Big Pete the cat appeared from nowhere when Mickey Mouse and the other trying to go somewhere and telling them to pass they need to pay. I was like...wow! Who the hell is he to just tell everyone that they need to pay a tax just by passing certain path. The same thing when Figaro was hungry and they are trying to go to the lake and catch some fish. That is a very mess up show. They are starting little kids that it's ok to pay tax for things that is natural free.

I wish my TV will break and we will never buy a new one again. That is so cleaver the way they are brainwashing our kids. I know not every mother think like me, but hey I wanted to be free. I don't want to pay anything that is un-constitutional just because some said so that I have to do it. No way, common law here. If I think that is wrong, it is wrong.

Does any of your cable TV offer channels that are somewhat good for children? I could pick all the channels I wanted but that will cost me a lot. And no, lower channels is not appropriate for us either. They are just a bunch of money sucking corporation and do not care what show they broadcast. And don't even get me started with with the global warming show on discovery or history. They are just way off, and what did Al Gore said about himself? Yea, anyone who will buy that is an idiot and has no brain to think for themselves.

Ok, I'm done. Not really but this post is done.

Light Bulbs

Most of the light bulb in our house when we bought it was all incandescent. I think I remember changing them very often, especially in the winter because we use lights in the house a lot. I can't stand the gloomy days of winter and what better way to brighten my days but to turn the lights on.

Fluorescent was just picking up back then and we decided, even though it contains mercury that we will never buy another incandescent. And we have not, I love, love this lights, mostly the daylight bulbs. One of our light in the classroom is the daylight bulb, I tell you there is no dull moment in our classroom.

They are a little pricey than the regular ones, but I like it bright. I have one in the bathroom and one in the kitchen. We have a cheap chandelier in our dining room which takes special bulbs. I can never find anything nice enough and bright enough that goes there right now. I'm hoping maybe we can get some kind of LED bulbs for it.

Please do not tell me about taking care of my environment from mercury. There is a proper way of disposing this but if you tell me to pay to disposed it, you must crazy. Our next step is to use LED but we have not try any of them yet. Maybe we will look into it this winter, since DH will be home often and we have plenty of time to talk about this stuff.

Anyway, we have bigger/longer fluorescent bulbs down in our basement. It gets really sad down there when there is no sun out. I like the feeling of being outside under the clear sky. How about you? Have you switch to fluorescent lighting yet? DH tells me that they never get hot, not hot but warm enough that sometimes I can't touch them. Try it out, they last longer than the old incandescent however, we bought a few that did not last very long. But most of them last.

Folgers

At age 39 I had to drink one cup of coffee a day to keep up with my kids. If I don't I had to take a nap around 1pm to stay up until 10 in the evening. I have never drink coffee everyday and this year (2009) is the very first year I did this. When I was still working in the restaurant I only drink coffee when I don't have time to eat. I was much thinner then however, drinking coffee does not keep me up but as hunger suppressant. I don't have 15 minutes to spare to eat during busy hours and coffee is the fastest I could make. And I don't even know what kind of coffee we serve, there was no name brand, just grind coffee.
I had a coffee maker at home but never used it until I met my now husband. He is a coffee addict, he stops in every Wawa on his way to his job when we met. We both enjoy the #5 and #7 from them now. However, we both like our coffee with sugar and cream. When we finally bought some coffee we settled with Folgers. We like the mild, classic roasted and I always stock up when they are on sale. We just love the way it smell the very first time we open one.

And guess what? They are having a writing contest that will end in November 20, 2009 and you better put your entry in. Make sure you read the rules before entering. And here is the entry form. All you have to do is tell them "what is the best part of waking up at home during the holiday". You could win a 7 day/6 night round trip home, lodging, car rental, $1,000 spending money, digital camera and Folgers gift basket. Ok. I'm off to try it out myself. Good luck to everyone.
