Nobel Peace Prize

by Trooper
So we've all heard.  I want to know what you guys think of it!  If I understand correctly, Obama got this because of what he says he will do, but has not done yet.  Is that right?  Because I can promise all SORTS of things!

Happy Independence Day

by Trooper
This is my first 4th of July spent away from my parents.  It took me a long time to figure out how to make it feel like a holiday without all their decorations and big gatherings of people.  I tried to think of American things to do.  All I could come up with was

Unhappy with your life? CHANGE IT!

by Trooper

I saw quite the story on the local news.  A man intentionally swerved onto the side walk to hit five kids walking home from school.  He was not drunk, he was "depressed".  I thought about the logic of "I'm depressed, maybe I'll run someone over".  It didn't make much sense to me UNTIL:

I'm A Widow

by Trooper

I miss him. I can still hear him, see him... but he's not there.  I talk to him sometimes.  I'd like to think he is listening, but deep down I know he's gone...

My husband was once full of life.  He loved the outdoors and all that went with it, like fishing and looking for bugs.  Then, on September 25, 2007, he got sick.  I should have seen the warning signs leading up to it, they were obvious.  I ignored them.  I was sure he would always be with me.

Psychology Experiments

by Trooper
Puj (my husband) is taking a psychology class at BYU.  I read that later this year he will be asked to do a little experiment.  He is supposed to go to some public place and "break a social norm".  He will then record the reactions of the people passing by.

Your Driving Stinks . COM

by Trooper

I had an idea for a website.  When you're driving behind someone who is a terrible driver remember their license plate number and when you get home enter it onto my site.  When you add a license plate, you will select the locaton of the offense (eg. Austin, Tx), then check any of the following that apply:

Wiki Wild!

by Trooper

I took my now 2 month old daughter to the pediatrician the other day to get her first shots.  At the end of the visit the Dr. asked if I had any questions or concerns.  I mentioned that Ryleigh (my daughter) feels like she's falling every time I lay her flat.  (I know this because she throws her hands in the air and tries to grab on to something-  if nothing is within reach she screams like crazy)  I knew that this reflex (known as the moro reflex) was normal and they grow out of it.  My question was how much longer will she be scared like this.  

The pediatrician said, "Let me find out for you."  She turned to her computer...

Better Than the Discovery Chanel!

by Trooper
While fishing at Calaveras Lake yesterday, I saw something.  A great blue heron was flopping in the water very near the shore.  My brother pointed it out to us and we all watched as he struggled to stand.  We (me, my husband, brother & sister-in law and a few extras) were voicing our ideas as to what happened to him when all of the sudden...
