I donated a made-to-order Stickman toon for the Duckfest charity auction, which was won by That One Mom over at Only Parent Chronicles. It’s posted over there today. Go see.
Hope everybody is enjoying their summer.
Recently, I attended a local charity auction benefitting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund.
JDRF is helping to find a cure for kids with lazy pancreases.
I donated over $175 of my money and still no cure.
I want a refund.
I did win some tickets to Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari.
I say win, but I paid $130 for them.
Anyway, Holiday World is an amusement park in Santa Claus, Indiana.
This is in southern Indiana, very close to the Kentucky border, which was evident by all the mullets wearing muscle shirts with cutoff Wranglers I saw.
It was the first time I had ever been to this place, but it was pretty cool.
They have free unlimited soft drinks, with self-serve refill locations all over the park.
They also have free sunscreen locations everywhere too.
Sadly, these were self-serve as well.
It’s a very family/kid friendly park, but they do have some of the bigger rides for thrill seekers.
Basically, the park is divided up into sections themed on the different holidays (like Christmas, Halloween, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, etc.).
Sorry, no Ramadan.
Even family fun parks hate Arabs.
The food and games at the park were very affordable.
My biggest complaint was probably the layout.
Even with a map of the park, it was very confusing trying to navigate the different holidays.
Maybe a calendar would have worked better.
I almost took a picture of the GIANT nativity scene right at the edge of Christmas as you are about to enter Halloween.
Instead of the Christmas star shining brightly in the sky above our Lord and Saviour, it was an evil Jack-o-Lantern looking down menacingly.
Overall, my kids loved it. And now they should repay my kindness by going back to school early.

Tuesday Quickies
Every time I see the new Supreme Court Justice nominee, I think it’s Mike Meyers in a dress.
Then I get all Austin Powersy and say, “Law, Baby, Yeah!” or "Do I make you Legal, Baby? Do I?"
Oil is still spilling in the Gulf.
Pretty soon we should be able to run our cars on sea water.
Which we will buy at Long John Silvers.
And receive a FREE 2-piece Fish & More with every fill-up.
Two problems, one stone really.

Gl-ASS-ery Of Terms (you're welcome)
When reading a Blogger’s post or comments, you might see various acronyms and or slang-type phases that are used as a form of shorthand similar to when a person writes a text message.
I had no idea what many of these stood for when I first entered the blogging world, and always wished there was some sort of Glossary of Terms I could look them up in.
Since there wasn’t, and I had to learn the hard way, I thought I would save you the time & trouble and create one here now.
Please feel free to use this as a future reference.
TERMS
1. LOL – Lover Of Lepers – This is a very caring individual
2. STFU – Squeeze That For Us - This person would like help making orange juice or fitting into tight pants.
3. LMAO – Let Me Ask Orangutans – An inquisitive person with hairy friends might say this.
4. TWSS - That Was Seriously Sad – This person is admitting their own failures.
5. TWHS - That Was Hilariously Sad - This is what you say to that person above as you laugh at their mistakes.
6. FTW- Feel The World - These people are Hippies.
7. ROFL - Right On Fun Loveski - This is a hip affirmation of your comedic wit with a Polish twist.
8. DH - Designated Hitter (similar to in Baseball) - A term mainly used by women to refer to the man who comes in and relieves the normal hitter (aka Hubs) when it’s performance time.
9. “ha”- short for “haha” - This means, “I thoroughly enjoyed what you just said, even though I may not have agreed with all of it. And I did notice the errors in grammar and spelling, as well as a few factual inconsistencies, but overall I felt it was good in content and meaning. Just not good enough for me to leave a longer comment.”
10. FAIL - self explanatory - See this post.
