And We'll Go Up, Up, UP.

I came across this on SlydesBlog and thought I'd share Zach's story with you because it touched my heart and so many others on YouTube.

A brilliant song and talented artist.

 

 Here were all his video responses!

 

Zach you are an inspiration to everyone!

How Animals Eat

Well, lovely Plonkers, the A to Z Blog Challenge has come to an abrupt end.  It has been a brilliant ride for me this year because I prepared and scheduled posts in advance.  I got to visit hundreds of awesome blogs and followed a few whacky whoppers.

And with that chapter concluded, we resume normal broadcasting...well, as normal as this wee blog gets.

This video had me in stitches.  I actually watched it half a dozen times at work until the tears were running down my face and I had no mascara left.  Everyone came into my office to see what I was chuckling at and so I had to watch it another half a dozen times.  

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do...

 

 and then there were bloopers too and everyone knows how much I love bloopers

 

Happy Workers Day [blogging from bed].

Every Man and His Blog

Mojo is still MIA so I thought I'd share a couple of videos with you Plonkers today.

The brass section are so lucky, they get away with farting anytime!

Here are some of my favourite shows and I just adore watching bloopers from those shows.

Enjoy them with me.









Happy Thursday everyone.

A Brain Fart, Wee Penny and a Conversation with a 6 year old

Yesterday, I thought I was having a  fucking stroke. 

No, seriously.  I literally felt very odd indeed. 

 I  had the strangest symptoms and I still can’t explain the full extent of what I was going through. 

About an hour after getting back from gym, my vision started blurring in the middle and then it was like tunnel vision – it was the weirdest thing -  whenever I looked directly at something, it  seemed to disappear.  I couldn’t see the words on my computer screen.  That lasted for about 15 to 20 minutes.  After that, my fingers and hands started to go numb and whatever I touched with my hands went numb.  Strange.  I then got pins and needles in my hands. 

After that, I tried so hard to read the words on my computer screen.  My brain told me that I knew the words but I couldn’t for the life of me makes sense of just ONE word let alone a sentence.  I knew that I  should be able to make sense of the symbols on the page.  I tried to spell a few words out loud and couldn't do it.  I couldn't understand it and so I couldn't say it.  I was a little freaked out by this.  I just figured I was tired perhaps just was loosing my focus.  I tried to blink, refocus and start again. Same thing.  This lasted for what seems about 15 minutes.  I'm not sure how long it was in actual time though.  I was so disoriented.

I just couldn’t concentrate hard enough to make sense of the words or say them out loud.  I couldn’t pronounce anything and my speech was slurred and I was having trouble expressing myself in words.

I just stayed in my office for most of the afternoon.  I was NOT myself.  The more I tried to read words and make sense of it the more frustrated I got.  I had a slight headache when I told my hubby that night who said I still wasn't myself all night.  I prayed before I went to bed.  I prayed that if I had another stroke in my sleep, that God needed to help R with the girls in the morning.

This is not the first time this has happened to me either.  I just didn’t talk about it before because, well, how do you go to the doctor and tell him these crazy symptoms??  How do you tell anyone?  I figured I better tell my husband in case I died in my sleep from a frikken aneurism or something.

What does it sound like to you, Plonkers?

and now that you Plonkers have had some drama for the day, let me introduce our new wee pup.

Meet Penny our wee Jack Russell

Penny

Megan and Penny

Here's a conversations that I had with Kaylin (my 6 year old) the night before last.

KK: Mum, do The Police put you in jail for saying ugly words?

Me: No Kaylin.  You have to do a serious offence to be put in jail.

KK: They put the handcuffs on and close the bars, hey?

Me:  Yes.

KK:  Do you stay there forever?

Me:  It depends on what you’ve done.

KK thinking:  You just have to be nice to The Police and they’ll let you out, hey?

Me:  Its not quite that easy, my sweetie. What do you mean be nice to them?

KK:  Well, you can just give them a big squeezy hug and kiss and tell them you’re very sorry and they’ll let you out.

Me:  No, it doesn’t work like that. *explains*  What do you think you get to eat in jail?

KK: Spiders and vegetables and Germs!

Me: That sounds awful!

KK:  Yes and you only get to see your family if you’re really quiet and good.

Me:  How does that work?

KK: The girls make a line and the boys don’t get to see their family because they always make a noise.

Me:  What else happens in jail?

KK:  Well, there is only one bath so you have to line up and take turns.

Me:  Gee, do you think you have to wait long?

KK: No, The Police make sure you don’t play with toys in the bath.

Me trying not to giggle, and then?

KK: The boys have to wear handcuffs but The Police come with your toothbrush and toothpaste and take it off before they have to go bath and brush your teeth.

Me: WOW they’re strict!

KK: After the bath, you get to watch a little TV before you have to go to bed., if you’re good.

Me:  Really? 

KK:  You don’t get to see flowers or trees in jail because it’s just bars and your bed.

Me:   That’s such a shame.

KK:  The boys get Ben 10 on their walls and the girls get Barbie.

Me:  Nice..

KK:  No!

Me: Why?

KK: Because you don’t get to see your family everyday and you don’t get a Key!

Priceless.

Temple Grandin speaks about Austism and Aspergers Syndrome and explains it very simply and very well.
