The Pros and Cons of this Woodchopper

5/28/2014

1 Comment

 
Pros:

- It is a time efficient way to chop wood (so it allows you more time for the important things in life… like watching moss grow on the side of Mount Everest)

- It will be sure to captivate your spectators

- Using this machine will enable you to be fat and happy

- No need to replace ‘fuel’ that you would have burned chopping the wood by hand

- You would be less likely to injure yourself then if you used  an axe

- This machine would be more practical in jobs that need completed quickly or if you have large amounts of wood that need to be chopped on a regular basis

Cons:

- Chopping wood with a machine burns fewer calories then chopping manually (manual wood chopping burns greater then 400 calories an hour)

- Sitting in this machine gives you none of the social time, none of the camaraderie, and none of the relationship building that that chopping wood with other men would

- You would be more likely to injure others with heavy machinery then with an axe

- No fresh air

- The machine requires fuel

- And lastly, it’s a lot more expensive to fix your machine then your axe…

This is a joke. This real post is about…

The Pros and Cons of sharing a room with two of your sisters!

Cons:

- It’s hard not to wake up sister #1 when you and sister #2 are early risers

- When you wake up earlier then sister #1, it’s hard to see without the light on

- Not having a light on in the morning makes it more difficult to see where you’re going and where your things are

- Changing clothes is a cold experience when sister #1 turned the space heater off and sister #2 left the door opened, allowing the heat to escape and the cold to be sucked into the room faster then a raisin being sucked into a vacuum hose

- Apparently, my sisters think that the best time to have a conversation starts at the same time that I fall asleep

- Also, don’t be surprised if the sisters come to bed late and act as if it’s the middle of the day; turning on lights, talking and banging things around (Thankfully, they don’t do this anymore)

- You may be woken up needlessly by your sister’s alarm because she set a reminder for 12:30pm but accidentally set it for 12:30am…

Pros:

- You get to have a ‘sister night’ more often because you are all in the same room anyway

- You learn the valuable skill of compromise (the more sisters there are, the more you have to compromise)

- You learn patience… oy vey

- The room stays cleaner because you have two sisters nagging you to make your bed instead of just one!

-Sometimes sister #2 makes your bed because she can’t stand when it’s unmade- I think this is a bonus!

Okay, this post is a little silly.. But we all need a reminder to lighten up!

Do you have a list of Pros and Cons to share?

While I used these lists as a fun way to relieve stress, you can also use them when making a decision, such as; Where should I shop for a new skirt? (Department Store or Goodwill); Which cell phone should I buy? Should I play a prank on my mom?

Have fun!

Just for Laughs- "Let it Grow" Beard Parody

5/9/2014

Hey you guys! Perhaps you've heard of the movie "Frozen". I haven't actually seen the movie but I was introduced to one of the songs, "Let it Go", through a friend. The song had such a dramatic, beautiful melody but the words were rather rude and rebellious (i.e. "I don't care what they're going to say!", "No right, no wrong, no rules for me! I'm free!")... but the tune stayed with me and I would randomly start singing it. Having that song constantly running through my head (and not even remembering the words!) was getting so annoying! So I started making up my own words. One day I was cleaning the kitchen with Lydia when we started coming up with a bunch of different words in place of "let it go". Suddenly at almost the same instant we started singing "let it grow"! We both started laughing as we started making up more words. If you know anything about our family then you know that my dad has a beard, my brothers both want beards (they aren't quite old enough to grow their own :(), and our brother-in-law, Joe, has a pretty long beard. Beards have been a part of our lives since the beginning- my dad had a beard when he married my mom.

  So anyway... enjoy our song about beard growing in a bald faced world..
