I am a Mormon...married to Lisa. We have 5 awesome children. I am a gun rights advocate and believe the 'right to keep and bear arms' refers to an INDIVIDUAL right, as affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court. I like to hunt big game, although I have only ever killed a single buck deer. I am an actor of sorts and have been in many local plays and musicals.

    Beating a Dead Horse

    I've mentioned this before, right? At least twice in recent bloggerhood I've mentioned the fact that we buy nothing, NOTHING, without a solid warranty. An extended warranty, when possible. Read about our experiences here and here. And I believe I've told you about the house having been built upon an Indian burial ground or having some sort of gypsy curse like in the movie Holes, with Shia Labeouf. Great show. Madame Zeroni scares me.

    So it's the last day of our vacation. The last 3 hours before we head to the airport for the flight home. We're taking a rest at Universal Studios while the kids play in the huge playground with foam ball guns and water cannons for kids to shoot at each other. Lisa takes out the camera to look at all the wonderful pictures we've taken when the week-old Cannon PowerShot slips from her grasp and drops onto the concrete lens-first.

    &!%$*&@#$%*&!

    Luckily the 8 GB memory card is just fine and luckily we purchased a major extended super warranty from Sam's Club. Some of those pics WILL make it onto this blog, I pinky-promise!

    Oh, and the brand new garage door/opener we bought this past summer is acting up again. Filth and foul.

    Thank the beautiful heavens for glorious warranties.

    I am thinking I need to learn from your experiences. Nothing is more frustrating than having to shell out lotsa moola!

    I'm laughing my guts out!! We learned it the hard way ourselves! Tell Lisa...it's ok. We all have accidents. (maybe she didn't feel bad about it, but I did hee hee) Was this trip to my hometown...in Cali?

Which Intelligence?

http://www.blogthings.com/whatkindofintelligencedoyouhavequiz/

My results: Your Dominant Intelligence is Interpersonal Intelligence

You shine in your ability to relate to and understand others. Good at seeing others' points of view, you get how people think and feel. You have an uncanny ability to sense true feelings, intentions, and motivations. A natural born leader, you are great at teaching and mediating conflict.

You would make a good counselor, salesperson, politician, or business person.
