RTT: Do Not Hump


It's time for Random Tuesday Thoughts again!
Are you ready for some randomness?

So yesterday many of you may have seen my blog where I came out of the closet as a bisexual.  I am SO touched by all of you who commented and left your love for me.  It was a lot more scary that I thought it would be, most people who are around me knew all along, but I've never said anything about it publicly.  Especially my Aunt Jenny, who is an amazing woman and simply said "Love you still." in response.  I feel so blessed to have so many people who honestly care about me.

Speaking of coming out.  That Mormon speech by Boyd K. Packer I mentioned the other day in my blog?  They changed it.  Take a look: UPDATED: Packer makes changes to sermon regarding homosexuality.

Moving on-Can someone explain this to me?  I took this photo on my way to work and my first thought was "If you say so..."


October always seems to be the most busy, almost all of my weekend time is already planned.  Here's what's coming up:
  • Friday, Oct. 8th: OctoberFest at Squatters, then a haunted house.
  • Saturday, Oct. 9th: David's Surprise bday party. (Pics to come tomorrow)
  • Friday, Oct. 15th: Zoo with Heather, then Jon's Birthday dinner.  (Sushi, YUM!)
  • Saturday, Oct. 16th: Last Farmers Market, then Chili cookoff at my place.
  • Wednesday, Oct. 20th: Melanie's birthday BBQ.
  • Saturday, Oct. 23rd: Max's Video Game Release Party, and Melanie's birthday.
  • Monday, Oct. 25th: Max's Bday, and full time conversion at work.
  • Thursday, Oct. 28th: Kristina's Birthday
  • Friday, Oct. 29th: Halloween parties galore (not sure where I"ll be yet)
  • Saturday, Oct. 30th: Halloween Party/Kristina's Bday party.
  • Sunday, Oct. 31st: HALLOWEEN! 
Speaking of David's party (with pics to come tomorrow) it was the best party we've had in a long time!  I met new people, got to know semi-new friends better, and made an amazing cake! I'll have to post the recipe for it later.  It was so fantastic, and all celebrating someone I love muchly.

I'm going to try my hand at making chili  for the very first time for the cookoff.  I'm making Pumpkin chili, in spirit of the season.  I also get to make homemade cornbread, which I rather enjoy. YUM!

I just finished both Nip/Tuck and Veronica Mars.  Any suggestions for things I should watch off Netflix next?  I've already watched Weeds, Dexter, Angel, Firefly, Grey's Anatomy, and a few others I can't recall right now... Suggestions would be great!

I love you all!  Have a great Tuesday!  (If you're visiting from RTT, leave me a link so I can come visit you!)

  3. 'Kay if you like Zombies - they have this series in Britan called Dead Set, very wicked. Haven is good and is actually filmed in my province near me (yea Canaada!) Flashfwd was good but has ended tho you still maybe able to see last years eps., Lie to Me and Fringe is really good as well.

    I don't watch a lot of movies that aren't children as I don't actually get OUT of the house without the children as an escort.

    Dark Angel (from Robin above) if it is the 90's series was wicked! Absolutely.

  6. RE: Do not Hump
    (from http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/592/what-does-do-not-hump-mean-on-the-side-of-railroad-cars)

    It refers to a common method used to sort freight cars known as "humping," which involves the use of a man-made hill, or hump. A track heads up the hill and branches into numerous parallel tracks on its way down the other side. To make up new trains, a switch engine pushes a string of cars to the top of the hump, where the cars are uncoupled one at a time. Having determined the car's destination, a worker in a nearby tower pushes buttons or throws levers or whatever to get the track switches (you know, those things where one track divides into two) lined up properly. The car is then given a nudge, causing it to roll down the hump and onto the right track.

    The advantage of humping is that it's a lot faster than having switch engines shuttle back and forth all day making up trains. The disadvantage is that it's sometimes a little rough on the freight cars and their contents.

    Not sure why it's on a vehicle on a road if it's a railroad thing, but maybe it's being transported from one rail station to another or something?

    Porthos: Thanks! I was curious, but it still looks hilarious!
