My apologies, good sir. I am so very honored and thankful for this award. I'm not sure I am really very versatile, unless we're discussing the many foods I can prepare in the microwave. Ice cream. Fer real.<br />Anyways, thanks so much and I will get to work on writing something almost immediately.

The PC stuff .....Kerri - Thanks for the congrats. The PC stuff ... arrrgh ... I'm fed up with it. The only reason it's there is because manners were never taught, so laws had to come about. It's only giving the government more and more control over us. To me, PC stands for Perfect Cloning, of which I want no part of. In the 60's, we lived to find ourselves. Now, we're being told that doesn't matter and we must conform to the masses. It's definitely total B.S.

Then I remembered that you were guest blogging my site this weekend. I am well aware tht Hell knoweth no fury like the wrath of an angered female. So, you were saved this time by circumstances! lol You and I definitely agree on the education of children in this country. It is a sad state of affairs when instead of supplying extra assistance to those that need it, those that don't are held back. We live in a country of contradictions. Of course, that's what politicians are all about. Let us never order a pizza with anchovies in our lives. Yes, I can live with that.

I alm...Rich, thank you for not giving me the award. I almost added this to my 10 things of thankful list but didn't want to offend the lovely people who think I'm worthy in spite of the fact that I have received several since March and been the asshole who has neither acknowledged them nor passed them along. I keep meaning to but ugh. So I win lazier than you this week. <br />Haha to your crotch stains. I'd wear them anyways because sweat pants are sacred. I wear some with a hole in them - in the crotch - because I'm that repulsive. <br />Re: no child left behind - UGH. Standardized testing is ruining the school system. All these people talk about whether we're spoiling our kids (yes), whether too much self esteem is bad (no, not at age 4), and really, it's the f@cking testing. My husband's daughter graduated last year. She does not know (for real) what 1/2 plus 1/4 is. She passed the tests. The administration is more worried about looking like we're able to compete with other countries in education than actually teaching kids - and testing them in a way that makes sense - the way they need to learn. Ok that's my rant. <br />Congratulations on the award. I hate anchovies.

And please let me point out that I nominated you because I already enjoy your blog very much although I am a new reader and not because I wanted to get rid of the award! I am enough of a rebel to bend the rules and give an award to fewer people (which is what I did in the past already). So congrats again and I am your new follower.

Funny, only one of them is still blogging today. Some folks don't know that you've got to do a minimal amouth of marketing to get people to know that you're even there. My Spam is all over the board. Of course, with some of the topics I write about, it's no wonder they trace it back to me. lol Many Thanks!Richard Rumplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15478732756685966429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431865736422930321.post-67553567849969355542013-07-26T13:46:08.314-04:002013-07-26T13:46:08.314-04:00I think the last time I received and passed along ...I think the last time I received and passed along one of those awards, only one person even responded to it.

My apologies! Don't bother with mine until you have the time. There's absolutely no hurry. Oh, here's a hint to help you out. There's a certain blogger list that you filled out not so long ago, that should help you find a few unsuspecting nominees.

Btw, the elephant on your blog "balancing" was a perfect picture of me trying to do exactly that! lol Oh, the filters on your blog will not let me paste any of the links into the blog hop entering area.
