★ March 14, 2013 ★

Good morning (barely). Yesterday was busy as you already know. After blogging, all I had time for was helping the Chief out with a FD question, did a bunch of laundry, changed the bedding, cleaned the dining room table, changed the afghan on the sofa, mopped the entryway, dusted my office lights, fed the pets, & swept the utility room. Then it was time to go to work on eBay, I started to check facebook & take my game turns, but not long after loading facebook Pete said he wanted to go out so we went out to dinner at Applebees. Nighttime routine & then this morning I did some beading & am done with all but the white background on the last 2 rows. ALMOST DONE! Next Thursday I finish this bead banner & get the next one started or at least graphed out. I'm going to need to buy more beads from Michael's for the next one. I made waffles for Kyle & I for breakfast & here I am. My Sim-Self had a much different day yesterday. She worked on her novel, submitted a few chapters for $8, & advanced to level 2 of the writing skill. Then she cleaned the house, went to the consignment shop which was closed again, went back home & chatted with someone online, placed PC games & became hungry (moved dinner up a bit), worked on inventing, advanced to level 2 of the inventing skill & became tired (removed television from Wednesday nights too now), checked the mail & paid the bills which have depreciated down to $2,267, showered which was perfect timing because her hygiene became an issue AS she was on her way to the shower. She made autumn salad for dinner & advanced to level 2 of the cooking skill. Since she wasn't able to get to the consignment store while they were open to see if they had a camera, & I'm not willing to take a trip to France for 3 days at this early stage of the game where I'm still working out all the scheduling issues, I decided to use a cheat to get my hands on the nicest camera available in the game. In case you don't know how to go about using this cheat, you 1st press Ctrl+Shift+C & then type in: testingcheatsenabled true & hit enter. Then you press Ctrl+Shift+C again & type in: buydebug & hit enter. Now you go into Buy Mode, go into shop by category (2nd option down) & then click on the now existent question mark. Go all the way to the last tab on the right & click on the 3 circles (everything). Scroll all the way to the bottom & somewhere on the bottom row (or near it) is the camera. While I was there I also bought the bestest of the best television you can get & swapped it out with the one they currently had in the living room. My Sim-self then took a photo of the kitchen stove & surrounding cabinets which is in the Kitchen Kitsch category. She got $5 for her photo in the Home Sweet Home category & it suggested she take a photo of furniture next time. She watched the cooking channel for a bit & then headed to bed. When she woke up today, she played the drums for a bit & advanced to level 1 of the drums skill & then got in the Prius & went to the cafe for breakfast which is where we leave off for today's blog.

Henry Ford built an entire city in the Amazon rain forest jungle in 1928 to cultivate rubber & named it Fordlandia. 2 years later, synthetic rubber was invented & the city tanked.

In emphatic listening, you listen with your eyes & with your heart. You listen for feeling, for meaning. You listen for behavior. You use your right brain as well as your left. You sense, you intuit, you feel. Empathic listening is powerful because it gives you accurate data to work with.

Intelligence in dogs may not be that important - after all, how much intelligence does it take to be the perfect lap dog?

President Clinton expresses desire to return to golf course (1997):
On this day in 1997, President Bill Clinton undergoes surgery to repair the quadriceps tendon of his right knee at the Bethesda Naval Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland. Clinton, an avid golfer, had injured his knee at 1:20 that morning when he slipped down some stairs at Australian professional golfer Greg Norman’s house. Clinton’s surgeon later reported that Clinton’s primary concern after the surgery was when he would again be able to "swing a golf club." Upon his return to the links, Clinton continued to improve his game, and once remarked that he was the only president to trim his handicap—which stood at 15 at the end of his tenure--while in office.
Clinton was just the latest in a long line of sports-loving presidents. George Washington is believed to have been a fan of rounders, the English forerunner to American baseball, and is said to have played in games while camping with his troops at Valley Forge. Abraham Lincoln grew up in Illinois playing a later version of rounders, and in 1860 was photographed wearing a baseball uniform for a campaign promotion. Teddy Roosevelt, perhaps America’s best-known sportsman president, advocated what he called "the strenuous life," and liked to hunt, play tennis, hike in the wilderness and ride horses. In 1910, William Howard Taft began the tradition of the president throwing out the first pitch at baseball’s opening day. He tossed out a ball to Senator pitcher Walter Johnson, then sat back and watched Johnson pitch a one-hitter. Richard Nixon was fond of using the White House’s bowling lanes, installed by Harry Truman, and was also an enthusiastic baseball and football fan. He once designed a play for Washington Redskins coach George Allen, and then called Allen during an NFL playoff game, directing him to use the play. Unfortunately, the play, a reverse, ended up costing the Redskins yards.
The most successful athlete to serve as president was Gerald Ford, who played center and linebacker for the University of Michigan football team, helping them to undefeated seasons and national championships in 1932 and 1933. Although Ford could have played professional football, he instead chose to attend Yale Law School, while also helping to coach Yale’s football and boxing teams. Ford was such a sports buff that he took new wife Betty to the Rose Bowl as part of the couple’s honeymoon.
More recently, George Herbert Walker Bush, the 41st president, was captain and first baseman of his Yale baseball team, which made it to the College World Series. His son, George W. Bush, the 43rd president, served as managing partner of the Texas Rangers from 1989 to 1994. It has been said that it was once his ambition in life to become the commissioner of Major League Baseball, a position no president has yet held.
