July 04 Independence Day
June 28 Burger King! Beefacon! Eh, what?
ALL media and promo materials were spelled as “BEEFACON”. Trying to be funny I sounded it out… “Be Fakin”, “Beef Achin(g)” and so on. I’m the only one laughing. I STILL dont really get it… normally these things are a play on words but this one just doesn’t ding a bell but best guess is that its pointing out the bacon isnt pork…. and they think *I’M* not funny? How was it? The picture makes it not looks so nice but IT WAS REALLY GOOD. Look out Carl’s Jr.! I would think this is the Malaysian answer to the “meat with cheese and more meat” adverts in USA. There was NO filler but also no quad option. June 10 BBC: hahahaOk, there is this story in the tech section of online BBC about how 30% or so of the population in UK is not online. It starts like this:
Then after you finish the long report you see a form at the bottom. See if you can spot the issue:
It’s kinda like asking anyone absent to raise their hand! Harharhar Source: BBC May 30 Memory Tree
Well its been several days already but I needed to write a little something about recent events. The wife and I went for a simple exam Monday due to some spotting and learned that we had lost the baby. What terrible terrible news that was completely unexpected. WE made it to nearly 10 weeks and had started warming up to making plans and things and had already told several people. I mean “why not”? We had already seen the heartbeat and although we didnt make a lot of announcements we were not secretive about it. Not sure what the message is or what we are supposed to learn exactly but I figure there is some purpose through God that I just don’t know about yet. The development stopped at approx 8 weeks or so. No indications or symptoms other than a barely noticeable spotting nearly two weeks later. :( This being the SECOND time losing a baby and after failed IVF we wanted to revisit the idea of planting a tree… a memorial tree. This applies a bit of a positive thought to a sad time. Not a cure but it felt good. It also adds a bit of improved “landscaping”. I put that in quotes because my thumb isnt green. :) Below pics show the spot in front of the house… not sure what I would find in the dirt! Hoping no water or power lines would be found under the surface. heh. Picking out our tree! I wanted something that didnt have a lot of low branches and warmed up to this palm tree looking thing pretty quickly. Unable to communicate to know exactly what it is though. Done! Or nearly so. Still have some cleanup to do and maybe add a small border or other decorative bits. Found lots of broken glass and pottery parts in the ground along with a large brick and many many rocks. Looking at the pics now I’m half tempted to paint the empty house next door! May 05 7 weeks or so… thanks God!Just in case you actually read my cryptic post earlier showing “hCG” levels but did not figure it out yet, we are pregnant. Well not ME actually but I hope you figured that out on your own. Anyone reading? Moving on to a picture: What yer lookin above is a scan taken today. If the measurement is accurate ( starting to doubt), then this is a big baby. Thus the “or so” part since maybe its actually 7 weeks 4 days? 6 days? Until today we thought 8 weeks + ! Go figure. Below is a nice 3Dish representation of the above. No, this is not a Geico advert or a recasting of “V” but is instead just how a baby will look at this stage. Neat eh? I thought so.
