More about going green

With going green literally everywhere today, you can't go anywhere without seeing, hearing watching, reading something about going green, saving the planet, global warming, saving the environment, and recycling. What can we do that we aren't already doing to save the planet?

We can take on the attitude of not doing anything. And yes, I mean not doing anything. Just stay home with all the lights off, the heat turned way down, or the air-conditioing turned off. We can not buy anything, or go anywhere. We can all just stay home. It could be for just one day or two or a week, or two or three.

Wouldn't this be a great way to save the planet? We wouldn't be driving our vehcinles thus we would be saving energy, and the atmosphere would be safe from our carbon emissions. We wouldn't be using gas or diesel fuel, so there you go, it would save the environment. We wouldn't be using those nasty plastic bags when we buy new items and throwing them in a landfill to take up space for a thousand years, now would we?

We wouldn't be cutting down trees for paper bags to place items in when we buy things. We wouldn't needlesly waste water taking showers or baths to go to work, or to school, or even to shopping malls. By staying home we would be doing the environment a great service. Mother Nature would be so proud of us.

Of course, we wouldn't be making money by staying home unless we all worked from home. And we wouldn't be able to get necessary items such as food, household and personal items. We would all be bored beyond belief, and the global economy would collapse, ending in major economic woes that would extend beyond the scope of just America.

We can however take on the attitude that we can do more to save the planet, and do at least one thing everyday to join in the cause. It's just hearing about it everyday that has many people annoyed. Use less water in the shower, walk instead of driving, recycle plastic and paper bags, turn down the heat, turn up the air-conditioner, pick after yourself in public places, and don;t throw your garbage out on the sand at the beach or in the water. By all of using common sense we can save our planet Earth.

How to go green while having sex

This is one I haven't heard yet, and I'm wondering if anybody else wrote on this subject yet, how to go green, and save the environment while doing the nasty. Going green is all the rage lately, and it's gotten to the point where it literally is everywhere. So, I have come, (nice pun huh?) up with a ridiculous theme for this blog entry: How to have sex while going green!

How can you have sex, yet save the environment at the same time? Let me count the ways. Well, don't have sex outside and then throw the condom on the sand or in the water at the beach. How gross! That means someone else has to pick that up somewhere down the line. Can you imagine surfing huge waves and have a condom wash up to shore while you paddle your way in?

Take a bag with you and throw it the plastic bag. That way you are recylcing those hideous plastic bags, while saving the environment. Don't throw condoms outside after using. It could land in the bushes of someone's home, or fall on the road, and get washed down the drain. EW! GROSS! Can you say environmental disaster?

Why not use that condom again by washing it out, turning it inside out and using it again. What a huge savings to the environment that would be, and a huge savings to your wallet. When the baby arrives, what a huge savings that will be to the environment, you won't need those condoms or any birth control at all. When the baby arrives, use cotton diapers, so that those stinky disposable diapers won't be smelling up any landfills.

Back to the topic at hand, how to have sex while saving our planet. Turn down the heat in your house while having sex. Why? This can save on some energy usage, thus helping to cut down on electricity or gas usage, and saving on coal production, thus helping to save our planet. Besides, you'll be getting all hot and sweaty anyways, so why not?

Don't use any kleenex during, or after doing the nasty. And I'm not explaining why you need kleenex in the first place. Kleenex is made from paper, and paper comes from trees. Imagine all those trees you'll be saving by not using kleenex or paper towels.

Finally, don't have sex at all. Abstinence is the best answer. That way you won't have to take birth control pills, or use condoms. Because when a woman goes to the bathroom, things come out in the urine such as vitamins and birth control pills. Her urine will show trace amounts of the substances in the pills and vitamins. But, by not having sex, and not using birth control, you are actually saving the environment. Fish in streams, lakes and oceans aren't getting free birth control and can still create babies.

Ways of having sex, while still saving the world. Didn't know that having a fight with your partner, you were saving the environment, did you?

My husband watches every kind of sports imaginable except basketball. He grew up in a family where everyone had a great love for at least one sport. The living room TV always had some kind of sport on, even ice- skating, golf, and tennis. So, he took it all in and loves every kind of sports.

It's great that he is a well- rounded guy that loves life and has so many interests, but he becomes so completely at one with the television screen that outside life ceases to exist. I am a sports widow 12 months a year. Okay, make that ten months a year, he doesn't watch basketball.

What can you do about your husband's obsession with sports?

Besides jumping up and down in front of the screen or yelling fire and running out of the house, try getting in there with him. Watch sports with him. I became so interested in hockey by watching the games with him that I enjoy watching hockey now, except when he yells at the TV and pounds on the floor. Once in awhile I have been caught watching a hockey game on TV by myself.

What else can you do when your man's love for sports takes over his life? Do something on your own. Go out with friends and have a good time. Take the kids to a movie, or a park or for an outing for a couple of hours so your husband can do what he wants. Take up a hobby that interests you such as reading, writing for various websites, painting, or dancing. There are so many things to do that can be of interest to you. Join a workout class when he is watching sports.
Once you become immersed in something that interests you, then he will probably become more interested in you. You won't be nagging him anymore or giving him a hard time for doing what he wants. But, once he realizes that you have gotten your own life, he will miss you not being around. At least, I hope it works it that way. You become more interesting to your husband because you are more interesting. You will be more positive and it is just natural for people to want to be around other people that are happy.

To drive the point home bring your friends home to work on a craft together. Join a book club and have several meetings at your home. Drink some wine, have some fun. If this fails then, ask him out on a date when he isn't watching sports and bring the romance back. That way, you'll both be happy. If all this fails, then try marriage counseling. Last but not least, there's always the very selective electrical failure at your house during sports viewing time.

Fighting Rising Gas Prices

The only way to fight rising gas prices is to not buy gas anymore. I'm not advocating pulling up to the pump, filling up our tanks and taking off without paying, because that would be stealing and my Momma didn't raise me that way.

Besides not paying for gas anymore, how about we all have a national stay at home day all across America. Why don't we just make it all across the world. Every truck, recreational vehicle, SUV, minivan, bus, recreational boat, classic car, older car, brand spanking new car, and motorcycle could stay home for one entire day.

Of course this would take some major planning and possibly some national policy that Congress and the Senate and the President of the United States would have to vote on and decree that we all stay home for one entire day. It could be a day when we all join hands and sing songs, and have Bob Dylan himself sing some poetic song that we couldn't understand.

Then it would take leaders of every nation having to meet to talk about this proposal. And they would waste even more gas and time flying to have a national summit while gas prices soared even further. By the time they would be finished talking and meeting and flying and bickering about this proposal, nobody would care anymore. Sounded like a good idea, at first, didn't it?

By staying home more often and using less gas, we could possibly drive gas prices down. That way the big oil companies who are laughing while they throw their billions in the air, and run under them, yelling, " Yea, more money", can't get away with it any longer. With more people using less gas, and therefore consuming less, demand for gas will go down. Then with some magic stardust thrown in, gas prices will come down and stay that way.

Gas prices are being driven, (like the pun?), by you and me. We can't let the big corporate machine of oil companies take us to the cleaners anymore. With gas prices steadily rising, and everything else we consume everyday such as milk, bread, and corn, rising due to gas and diesel prices going up, we have to do something to stop it.

Stop using your vehicle as much as you do now. Stay home more often. Plan your trips and errand running for one time instead of several. Trade in that large vehicle for a smaller vehicle. Walk more often, carpool with co-workers, take the bus, and ride a bike for short distances. Go outside to the backyard instead of going to the beach, or a public park. Plan a stay at home vacation, and only go to places in your hometown. With people driving less, maybe, just maybe, because we are consuming less the big wigs will get a big message from us, saying, "We aren't going to take it anymore."

If that doesn't work, we can organize all over America, to get gas prices down. We'll work in pairs, you get the big ladder, put it up against one of those signs at a gas station, and change the sign to reflect a much lower price. I'll wait in the truck.

GO GREEN OR GO HOME

By the way I have to say this ----I've had it with hearing Go Green , Recycle, Save the Planet and Global Warming. These phrases are literally everywhere. I don't know about you, but it's gotten to the point where everyone on the planet got it already. People have been recyclying for years. In fact, my Dad was recycling everything way before it was cool.

Enough already! It's boring, passe, old, and downright makes me feel like tossing my cookies!
If people aren't going to recycle, they aren't going to do it, no matter how much advertising is being done. Every magazine has an article about going green. Practially every TV show on the planet we live on has had a story concerning going green, except maybe Saturday Night Live, and "Rock of Love 2".

I totally understand the need to save the earth, but why the big push all of a sudden? And why did it suddenly become the hip thing to do? Even celebrities are in on the act, such as Cheryl Crow with her whole stupid thing of only using one or two squares of toilet paper depending on the toilet duty. No wonder Lance left her.

If you didn't get the entire thing about recycling then you are living under a rock. And no matter how much media bombardment of going green will never change people who don't give a doo-doo. But don't get me wrong, because I do care about saving the planet, and recylcing and going green. I've been recyling for years and years. I go outside and to parks and to beaches and pick up our litter and other people's litter. I gather tires, and wood into piles to make the beach a nicer, sandier place.

But why oh why do we have to read, listen and hear about "Go Green" at every turn? It's too much. And you know it's beyond the saturation point when your kids come home from school with papers filled with what we should do to go green. Our area has several schools that went totally green, and has recycled water, solar panels, and a natural garden out back.

I realize that if we don't do something we won't have a world left, but I think if I hear or read, "carbon footprint" one more time, I will vomit.

Not everyone will do their part in the effort to save the planet anyways, so why keep telling us to Go Green? Maybe what we should do it stop talking about it , and do something about it. Pick up your own garbage at public parks, beaches and don't throw garbage out of the car, or when you walk somewhere, or into a stream, pond, lake or ocean. Just do your part and stop telling us to do our part.

With gas getting ridiculously high, it's to the point where we only use the car when it is absolutley necessary. It's too expensive to go for a ride on a really nice day anymore. Without even knowing it people will be going green anyways. We'll all be staying home more often because gas is too expensive to put into our vehicles.
I already wrote about this on Helium.com, but I had to write about it here. Oh by the way HELLO! I haven't been to my own blog in months. I've been so busy literally writing my butt off, I didn't have time

I am so grossed out about The Hulk and his wife's 24 year old marriage ending in divorce. They had two kids together, they were all on the reality TV show together called, "Hogan Knows Best." On the show the parents preached morals and vlaues to their kids. In fact it was the only reality TV show that didn't have young girls running around topless, twirling around stripper's poles', getting drunk and sleeping with any guy that moved.

The Hulkster and his wife, Linda followed the kids around so much it became annoying. But at least they cared enough to teach the kids morals. So what happens, The Hulk has an affair with one of his daughter's friends---she's a child compared to him, he's 54.

HOW GROSS!!! He had a wonderful, loving supportive woman, and he throws it away for some BIMBO. So being a great wife doesn't count anymore. How long do you think that will last?

So does that mean their TV show was a complete sham? The two parents did everything they could to have their kids keep their virginity, and Hulk Hogan is doing that nasty with a 21 year old. When the Hulk found out that Brooke was taking "The Pill" he lost it and confronted her on worldwide television.

Why did they have the show, so that they could make tons of money, and revive the old man's career? Were they on TV to help kickstart Brooke's singing career? I loved that show. I thought it was great that two wealthy parents actually gave a poop what happened to their kids. It was so AWESOME to see a reality TV show where people weren't total morons. This was one of the only reality shows I ever watched. So, what happens Linda and Terry's marriage unravels right on TV. They go to counseling where they are told to do more for each other.

Okay, so what happened? It makes you think the show was not reality TV it was staged to make more money TV. WHY, OH WHY! Did he have to completely insult his wife and his two kids and us---the viewers by shagging a girl that wasn't even born when he got married? GROSS!

Oh yea, they have so much in common. She's in her 20's, he 54. She's blonde, okay and so is he.
He can talk and so can she. WOW! What a great basis for a relationship. He needs to use viagra, and she can go all night. She can call him her Sugar Daddy, or maybe Grandpa!

Maybe they'll have kids and they can start a reality TV show about their life together. Then they can make money, lots of money. This is a perfect example of why I have started my campaign once again at home to cancel cable tv.
