An Offensive Cartoon?

Brad Fitzpatrick created the this cartoon:

But decided to change it because it "may be too offensive"?

Several people had comments about the two cartoons here.

All I have to say is who cares about being politically correct and who cares who you may offend; that was just funny as hell! Isn’t being funny what cartoons are all about?

What do you think?

2 Months and Going Strong

Brenton is now two months old. He is doing good. (Still Shits A lot!) He is eating cereal once a day, FROM A SPOON! not a bottle. He is now smiling more and really knows who is talking to him. He is sleeping through the night when we finally get him to sleep, ohh say about 11:00 or so. (with the time change I hope that will set him straight.)

Its Halloween weekend and Shelly took Brenton and Tyla to Pecos County Memorial Hospital and the Fort Stockton Nursing Center for some Trick or Treating. They had fun. Tyla wore her witches costume and Brent's tiger costume swallowed him whole. Last night was the Fort Stockton's Trick or Treat night and Tyla wanted to spend the night with a friend. So we stayed home this year and suprisingly only had a hand full of kids come by the house. We normally go to my mother-in-law's house since they live on one of the main residential streets in town. Everyone and their dog T or T's that entire neighborhood.

I have some inflatable yard decorations that I will be taking down today. And will bring out what little I have for fall. Shelly always rolls her eyes at me about the decorating bit. I normally go all out for any holiday. They have huge blowups I want to buy but Shelly said absolutely not! Like this Haunted House OK, OK! So $400+ is a little much for yard decorations! I like this too. So instead of spending all my money on Halloween, I want more Christmas decorations. Like this and this! Shelly thinks it cool but just sighs and rolls her eyes... I showed her what decorations I found and she said "Ohh God, Don't tell me you found that big ass turkey!" I am now on a mission. I must have a "big ass Turkey"!

Brenton Is Finally Here!

OK! so I am a little late but he is here! As of today he is 17 days old and is healthy and strong!

Brenton, our new son, was born on September 1st. He weighed 7 lbs even and was 19 & 3/4 inches long. (he is gonna be Tall!)

This might not seem big but when Shelly got pregnant she was only 100 or so lbs. Shelly was all baby too. No weight gain any where but in the middle.

Had forgotten how much a new born in the house changes things. Little sleep is the big problem right now! And the diapers!!!! Brenton has got to be the most shitten-ist kid I know. 5 shitty diapers within one night and 4 more by the time I got home for lunch! Just to keep up (J, you will get a kick out of this) I have to take out the trash twice a day. Go figure!

As for Tyla, she is doing great. There are several people around that are helping to make her feel special too. She has been given many gifts congratulating her on being a big sis. Very Cool! Tyla is also wanting to mother Brenton like she does her dolls. She gets frustrated when we do not let her hold him constantly. Shelly is breastfeeding (that is a very good thing for EVERYONE!) so Tyla doesn't get to feed him either. Though things have not settled with everyone just yet, we are doing good.

Brenton's "First Web page" is http://www.growingfamily.com/webnursery/babypage_view.asp?URLID=5P0C8I2U4D

you cannot copy his picture from the website, but I was able to hack the pic (that is the picture above)

Check this out .......

We now have

S.A.T.(me, Scott Alan Tollett)

S.E.T. (Shelly Elaine Tollett)

with of course (Tyla Nichole Tollett) "Little Miss Dynamite" T.N.T.

and our newest player stepping up to the plate.... B.A.T. (Brenton Alan Tollett)

Tyla calls him brat. Tyla has also got their Halloween costumes picked out. She wants to be the vampire and for Brenton to be her "Bat".

On a final note for today, We used to call ourselves the "Tollett Trio" but now we are Four! so does anyone have any suggestion as to what our family should be called now?

For The Baby That Has Everything!

As you know we will have a baby boy come September! The way it is going, this kid is going to have everything he possibly needs for years to come.

Except THIS!

(I don't think asking for a gift that costs $17,000 is too much to ask, do you?)

MARTHA STEWART'S TIPS FOR REDNECKS

MARTHA STEWART'S TIPS FOR REDNECKS

Thanks to: embarassing moments


1. Never take a beer to a job interview.
2. Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them.
3. It's considered tacky to take a cooler to church.
4. If you have to vacuum the bed it's time to change sheets.
5. Even if you're CERTAIN that you are included in the will ... it
is still considered tacky to drive a U-Haul to the funeral.

DINING OUT
1. When decanting wine, make sure that you tilt the paper cup and pour slowly so as not to "bruise" the fruit of the vine.
2. If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it with your fingers covering the label.

ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME
1. A centerpiece for the table should NEVER be prepared by a taxidermist.
2. Do NOT allow the dog to eat at the table ... no matter how good his manners are.

PERSONAL HYGIENE
1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should done in private using one's OWN truck keys.
2. Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for several days. However if you live alone, deodorant is a waste of money.
3. Dirt & grease under the fingernails is a social no-no, as it tends to detract from a woman's jewelry & alter the taste of finger foods.

DATING (OUTSIDE THE FAMILY)
1. Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the 1st date.
2. Be aggressive. Let her know you're interested: "I've been wantin' to go out with you since I read that stuff on the bathroom wall 2 years ago.
3. Establish with her parents what time she is expected back. Some will say 10:00 PM; others might say "Monday". If the latter is the answer it is the man's responsibility to get her to school on time.

THEATER ETIQUETTE
1. Crying babies should be taken to the lobby & picked up as soon as the movie has ended.
2. Refrain from talking to characters on the screen. Tests have proven they cannot hear you.

WEDDINGS
1. Livestock, usually, is a poor choice for a wedding gift.
2. Kissing the bride for more than 5 seconds may get you shot.
3. For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A leisure suit with a cummerbund & a clean bowling shirt can create a tacky appearance.
4. Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks & shoes for this special occasion.

DRIVING ETIQUETTE
1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles; even if the gun is loaded, and the deer is in sight.
2. When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires ALWAYS has the right of way.
3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.
4. When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, it is not polite to ask her to bring back beer too.
5. Do NOT lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession.

My Blog is Worth....

My blog is worth $564.54.
How much is your blog worth?

Jake's blog is worth more than $70,000 now. Pretty cool since he has somewhere around a million readers. I don't think my measly $564.54 it too bad considering I only have one or two!

Just Waiting

Shit happened at the hospital, once again, and here I am just sitting here waiting for a phone call from one our vendors. I have been waiting since Midnight, but O-well. The "O-well" that keeps me going is because I got a new job today! I will be leaveing the hospital on April 3rd, (after I give my boss notice on Monday of course. ) I will be part of the communication team; installing radios and cell phones in trucks and rigs for Riata Energy, a local drilling company.

Enough of the waiting. It is not that crutial so I going to lay down since I have to be up in a few hours.

I Want One Of These To Put In My Game Room!

If I could only have one of these, my 8 year old would be in heaven. Check it out: here and here, and thanks Jake for the links

Kids Say The Funniest Things!

My eight year old was in the shower for over 15 minutes. I cracked the door and asked what she was doing. "I'm putting conditioner in my hair, Dad!(ugg)" she said disgusted. "Did you wash your arm pits?"... "YES! Dad!"... "Did you wash your knee pitts?" I said trying to be funny. "YES!!!" she said, hatefully, knowing I was playing. "Did you wash behind your ears?" ...."YES DAD I DID!" sounding annoyed and frustrated. I then asked, "Did you wash behind your hinney?"
She promptly said, "YES!...umm, wait, what do you mean? The wall or the faucet?"

Baby Hippo Adopted by Tortoise After Tsunami?

I did not see this until today, and do not know the truth behind it, however the pictures are worth the (click here) --> post!


Incredible photos of a baby hippo that was stranded by the tsunami and the tortoise that adopted him

See Photos HERE!

NAIROBI (AFP) - A baby hippopotamus that survived the tsunami waves on the Kenyan coast has formed a strong bond with a giant male century-old tortoise, in an animal facility in the port city of Mombassa, officials said.
The hippopotamus, nicknamed Owen and weighing about 300 kilograms (650 pounds), was swept down Sabaki River into the Indian Ocean, then forced back to shore when tsunami waves struck the Kenyan coast on December 26, before wildlife rangers rescued him. "It is incredible. A-less-than-a-year-old hippo has adopted a male tortoise, about a century old, and the tortoise seems to be very happy with being a 'mother'," ecologist Paula Kahumbu, who is in charge of Lafarge Park, told AFP.
"After it was swept and lost its mother, the hippo was traumatized. It had to look for something to be a surrogate mother. Fortunately, it landed on the tortoise and established a strong bond. They swim, eat and sleep together," the ecologist added. "The hippo follows the tortoise exactly the way it follows its mother. If somebody approaches the tortoise, the hippo becomes aggressive, as if protecting its biological mother," Kahumbu added.
"The hippo is a young baby, he was left at a very tender age and by nature, hippos are social animals that like to stay with their mothers for four years," he explained.

Hard Couple of Weeks But Think I Can Finally Get Shit Done!

Had a very hard week! It all started with Saturday of this passed weekend. Got called in at 2pm and took an hour to get things running again. Then at 2am on sunday was back at the hospital. Working with techsupport over the phone I finally got some positive responce about 6am (that our shit quit working). Home again with my daughter so that my wife could go to work. Got Tyla to a friends house and back to the hospital from 9am to 2pm. Still could not get the stupid piece of junk working. Back home for a short nap and several more phone calls. Ugg. I was dead ass tired. THEN, the guy shows up about 11pm on Sunday night. There till 2 or so and I am beond dead! We get the POS server going! FINALLY!

Spent most of THIS week on the phone trying to get all the people to call me back that has not (or would not) call over the passed couple of weeks. (TIP: E-mails do not work as effectively as phone calls do) I have got another piece of equipment that is not working and has to wait till Monday to get here! So many people are pissed... but what can I do?..........

So hopefully this weekend I can finally get the shit done at the house that needs to be done! "Clean" is a good thing, In and OUT!

I Hate Being Pregnant...

If anyone does not know yet, we are due in September. I am very excited and so is my daughter. However, I think my wife is having second thoughts..... Being pregnant is not all its cracked up to be. Having Tyla was no picknick but my wife was not near as sick, irritable, bedridden, fussy, uggg, must I go on....

I am so tired its unreal. We no longer share the house work, which includes CLEANING, cooking, laundry., cleaning, fixing, ... did I mention CLEANING? .....

Mind you, I still have to take out the trash, clean, keep up the yard, wash the dog, clean the house, minor maintance on the house and the cars and... and ...and.... shall I say ugg agian!?! WAIT I still have to go to work! ........ ugg! To hell with that, F%$#@ .

OK Wait! I AM the man of the house and I WILL and CAN take on what is given to me!!

Thanks for letting me rant!

Its Been a While...

Thanks for reading my post....umm... (Anna!) I have not posted in a while but thought I should.

I have a very big (or I guess its a small) complaint. I went to Bells and WalMart today to get slacks for work. Both said they do not have my size. What the hell is up with that?

They both think that if you are fat...(please take no offence) you must be tall and if you have a 29 or 30 inch waist you are short. They only offer 40X36 ......or 30X30.........what the hell?

People!... get real. I am not the only person in town that is thin and tall. My Goodness....please!

Why do I have to go some where else to get cloths that fit? Thank you Fort Stockton! I will have spend my money in Odessa or Midland just to get what I need! wait....forgot that I can go on line and spend my money in some other state like Alaska.... yeah! they make great pants.

But wait, I must go to Mexico to get what I want...

CRAP, I can't...I am gonna have to go to Japan.

Damn it!
