Fart bombs

'Fart bomb' closes North Shore postal centre
A smelly 'fart bomb' had postal staff and firefighters holding their breath today when it burst at a postal sorting centre on Auckland's North Shore.
The fart bomb was a giveaway in an internet magazine but when other postal items were placed on top of the magazines being posted out, the sachet bomb burst and released its contents shortly after daybreak.
Worried postal staff called the fire service and the New Zealand Post sorting centre in Albany was evacuated and roads in the area were closed.
Acting deputy chief fire officer for the North Shore, Mike McEnaney, said the bomb was harmless but smelly and staff had no choice when they called the fire service.
"Until you can identify what the substance is you have got the potential there for a hazardous chemical incident."
He said once it had been identified, firefighters and postal staff kept their distance.
"It was definitely a smell of sulphur.
"If you were a firefighter in Rotorua it would have been a run of the mill day but to the postal staff in Tawa Drive, they thought someone was having a real bad day at work," he said.
The postal centre and surrounding roads were reopened when the smell was identified.

and now i am eating grapes and watching big mommas house

many many diffrent fluids

In the past 12 hrs I have cleaned up 2 people’s barf, the shorter of the two I have cleaned up twice. I have done more diarrhea cleanup (how do you make poop if you haven’t had any food for 24 hrs?) rammed my knee into some diaper oatmeal, had a baby, car-seat go bio-hazard on the TransCanada, changed a soaking in barf, baby, in the freezing cold snowy highway. I have cooked sausage in a foil pouch in an open fire only to see them all come up again. I have bought fizz for my wife and smelled things from my boy that would make Charlotte show us all her teeth. (ya kinda need to know her to get that one). All in all this has been a very moist day

cars cars and more cars

So, here is my long awaited post. It has been too long and for that I am sorry. But it is all charlottes fault I am sure. Anyhoo, here is the tidbit you have all been waiting for……………… I bought another car!! Yea I know, who would ever believe that I bought another car, BUT I DID!It is a 1987 mercure grand marquee. I got her for $200. It is not a car that I would have thought I would dig cuz it is a total luxury ride with all possible options. She is a total boat with more metal in one fender than in all of any import ride out there! She is a sow in the finest sense of the word. It has a big motor which I do like, and all the options that I normally do not go for! This is a car that my Grandma would look at and love. BUT I have her all licensed up (a story in itself) and on the road. It is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. I have had about 50 cars and this one is the most wonderful to ride in out of all of them. It has lazy boy recliners for seats and power everything! See, this all causes my big problems cuz first of all I do not need another car. I have 5 at my house and 3 at the farm right now. It is getting hard to keep track of them all. Two, I only bought it for the motor, which is supposed to go in dad’s mustang. (Or is this just an opportunity to buy yet another car and keep this one?) Thurd (spelling is my friend) it is a huge mom and pop car that I will be mocked mercisily about. And last I don’t think I can pawn another junk car off on my brother-in-law.
IT IS SO COOL. I love the car and as such the name shall be …………………..Fran! I will keep her forever anyone want to buy a car?
