Yesterday I was so caught up with trying to fix the template and broken links that I forgot everything from the weekend that I was going to write write about - so here goes:
Saturday we watched Ice Age - what a riot. I'm sure some of you haven't seen the movie so I won't go into detail, but I think Scrat was the best character although he only made occasional appearances (besides the beginning). A couple of friends came over and we popped in the DVD and after that none of us could stop laughing. No one would even get up to get seconds on the pizza (we paused the disc when we got our first servings). The movie was very clean, content wise, so those with even small children should not hesitate to rent/buy the movie. I thought it was even better than Monsters, Inc , which is saying a lot!
OK, the politically correct era is just going a little overboard. I stopped at the post office on my way home yesterday to get (what else) stamps. The person behind the counter asked if I wanted Holiday stamps and my reply was, "yes". In a disgusted tone she replied, "well, all we have are Madonna with child". Will the stamps get the mail to where it's going (Ok, technically the stamp isn't what get the mail to it's destination, but you know what I mean) - then fine, I'll take them. If anyone is offended because their Christmas card arrives bearing this stamp - just send it back. Really, I don't care if the stamps I get show Santa, Frosty the Snowman or Madonna with child. I just want stamps that show we are in the Christmas spirit!
I think I will save my insurance story for a later time - I'm got myself worked up over the stamp thing and probably would make a hash of it if I continued.
