On Wednesdays you can count on two things — The weekend is just around the corner and there’ll be a little something shared from the funny emails I’ve collected over the years.

We’ve all seen org charts. Depending on the time of year you may see several revisions of the same chart as people are hired, fired, or retired. Through all these changes one sentiment seems constant. Once again, you can thank my dad for this gem.

I think this may just about cover it all.

They say it flows downhill

Where do you tend to find yourself on this chart?

The Lost & Castle Connection

Disclosure: I’ve yet to watch a single episode of Castle
Moving on: I’ve more than a few friends who’ve been going on and on about Castle being a great show. More to the point they’re unanimous that it’s Nathan Fillion that’s great. I’m sure he is. I mean they had him on Lost which says it all. :-)

I love the expression on his face in this one.

Anyway, I’ll be one of the million that come next month will have a huge void to fill after the series finale of Lost. Once I’m through with the healing process I’ll give Castle a good look. When I do should I start from the beginning or can I just take it up from the current episode?

Your Lunch Buddy

There goes lunchMuch has changed in the way food is presented to us.  Nutritional labels, identifying food’s origin, and warning labels serve to protect us as consumers.  At the same time certain things have risen like portion sizes, obesity, and the resulting cost of related health care.  Some states and even the federal government have used regulations and are looking to do more along these lines to stem the tide.  Of course industry lobbyist paint a picture that these efforts not only negatively impact companies but unfairly target some ethnic and economic groups.  Personally, I don’t buy their position.

There are, however, a few things I didn’t know before that I thought to share.  You won’t find any study or survey results here.  If you’re interested then go ahead and use one of the links here or your favorite search engine to dig a little deeper.

It’s the battle of the “NNOOOOO!!”s

For whatever reason while chatting on Twitter I mentioned to Paul how my boy could say “No” better than his girl.  So I shared this video with him as proof and told him it was my 1st round entry.  Well, I started thinking that maybe others might have some great moments of “NO!!” they’d like to share.  So here’s your chance.  MMA bouts tend to be three rounds so I think that’s about all I’ll try capturing myself.  Trust me, I get many opportunities to experience my boy emphatically tell me, his mom, and his older sisters, “NO!!”

As you can see in this round, it’s lunchtime.  Since he’s confined to his highchair you’ve yet to get his “full bodied” version of “NO!!”

So go ahead and share what you have.  If you’d like you can post it on twitter just be sure to add #NNOOOOO somewhere in your tweet.

No prize for the best one just plenty of smiles for everyone.
