More Thoughts

Vacation has given me more time to think, dangerous I know, and here are my thoughts for this week. Have you ever watched a spider spin its web? And if so, just what part of its anatomy does the silk come from? With that in mind, comes Spiderman spinning webs from his fingers. I DON'T THINK

Sweet cheeks with or without the web.

SO! My daughter says it's because he got bitten on the arm, but I don't see the threads coming out of his spider bite, either. I guess they'd have to have a hotter Spiderman than Toby Maguire if the webs came from the correct spot. Plus, it might be hard to fight criminals if Spiderman had to pull his pants down every time he wanted to take a weave.

I agree. Andrew Garfield is better looking than Toby Maguire, but then again, Garfield is a cat. He just might squish his character with his cat-like charm. I think I've spoken enough on this topic.

Next topic.

I was flipping through the channels and noticed we have Showtime this week. Personally, I didn't see much on Showtime that I wanted to watch, but I was entertained by the titles of the listed movies. Check this out.

Hmm. What to watch? Since the only kind of breasts I like are the ones you eat from a chicken, I think I'll skip Breast Friends and Father Knows Breast. I like men, so an Erotic Ms Dracula isn't going to do anything for me, nor are Nude Monsters in Colorado. Aren't most monsters usually nude anyway? So it's between Sex Door Neighbors and Sexpresso. You'll be proud to know, I snapped the picture and moved on without watching any of these flicks with the great titles.

And these are my vacation thoughts. Tune in on Sunday night for more fun with music!

LOL! I love cracking myself up. I hope this was good for you, too.

A Penny For MY Thoughts

We've all heard the old saying, "A penny for your thoughts," but I figured I'd give you some of mine for absolutely nothing.

Beautiful Smelly Planet

Recently, I read that Saturn's moon Titan and Neptune contain methane as their main element. This got me thinking. Doesn't methane smell like farts? Good thing these stinky planets are far from Earth. Then again, with all that's being passed around here, maybe we could grow some beautiful rings around our planet, too.

I looked up methane and farts to see if I was right on my theory. Guess what I learned? There is actually a discipline called flatology or the study of farts. Could you imagine going 

Beautiful Smelly Person

to school to get that education? Imagine if one got a doctorate in flatulence. People study this in med school. I could just see a guy meeting his girlfriend's parents for the first time. "Excuse me? You do what for a living?"

I guess it could be worse. I knew a penis doctor who kept specimens in a jar to let his daughter's dates know to behave themselves.

Anyway, back to Neptune. It sure is a beautiful smelly planet. Kind of reminds me of Robert Pattinson--very good looking but known to have horrible body odor. Can you handle it? If not, don't move to Neptune or date The Twilight vampire.

These are my free thoughts. Aren't you glad you stuck around for them?

Ba da, Ba da, Dude Looks Like a Lady!

Have you seen Maroon 5's Sugar video? 

They crashed weddings to make this video gone viral.

One more from Tim Hawkins. Here are the most inappropriate songs to sing at weddings . . .  especially when the bride is walking down the aisle. Tee hee.

Promoting Teachers Pay Teachers

Sorry I haven't been as good about visiting blogs this week. I just got my

Money Product Package

computer back from the shop and have a back log of Teacher Pay Teacher products to post. I've also learned a little more about how to promote my work in order to sell more. So far, March has started out fabulous, so maybe these tips work.

Besides posting new products, I've been collaborately pinning. I go to the Seller's Forum and pin other people's products on my board while they pin mine on there's. I've also taken some of my dollar products and joined them into bundled products. Since the site requires teachers to spend a minimum of $3 at a time, it helps to join products together.


Finally, I've added suggestions of

Spring Into Logic

other products for buyers to look into on the back pages of my products. I could spend a lot of time adding these things to my 300+ products, but right now this isn't my priority. 

Although I enjoy visiting your blogs and writing on mine, I enjoy making money even more. Teachers Pay Teachers has paid for most of our groceries, my broken computer, and many other day to day items. It's great having the extra income. 

If you are a teacher who makes a lot of items for your class, you should open up your own TPT store. It's easy and well worth your time. Just click on this link, https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Signup/referral:joycelansky and go for it! 

The Sneetches

As a side note, all of these product photos and links to them are new. I just made them either today or yesterday. Snow days rock!

I would love for you to visit my store and follow me at: Gifted-And-Talented-Materials-By-Joyce-Lansky or you may follow my Pinterest boards at: https://www.pinterest.com/joycelansky/

Thanks!

Joyce

The Price of a Laugh: A Dog House Story

About ten years ago, I gave my students a writing assignment that looked like fun; so, I wrote along side of them. I enjoyed the prompt so much that I decided I wanted to write a

novel. As of now, I've written five novels, but none are published. In all honesty, I haven't had a lot of time for novel writing or querying recently. Not having a book contract is probably for the best since teaching is so demanding. But I still dream of publication of more than just a magazine story.

Just this week, I wrote another story with my kids. They are working on a Dog Unit so the assignment was to write about one of those wonderful dog expressions such as, a dog-eat-dog world, raining cats and dogs, dog eared, dog tired or the one I chose, in the doghouse.

Here's my fiction story. It hasn't had much editing and I didn't spend a lot of time writing it, but I'll share it any way.

The Price of a Laugh: A Dog House Story

     "I'll only be gone a moment," Mom said as she scooted out the door. She'd left us may times before, but something told me today would be different.

     My little brother, Patrick, tugged on my sleeve. His face gave that I'm-bored-expression, even though Mom had only been gone for four minutes. One of my favorite past times was making Patrick laugh. He had one of those goofy snort giggles that seemed to bring the entire house into his party.

     Without giving it too much thought, I grabbed Mom's Japanese bud vase off the marble end table and balanced it on top of my head.

     "Snor-or-ort!" Patrick fell on the floor and rolled into my leg. Not expecting his body to crash into me, I jerked back causing the vase to crash on the floor.

     "Uh-oh," Patrick giggled.

     A meer uh-oh was not going to solve this problem. Mom had bought that vase back in college when she studied in Japan. She had always talked about what a rare find it was and how she'd never seen one just like it. Now her treasure lay on the floor in 1,652 pieces.

     I reached for the broom and swept up the mess all the while thinking of the trouble I'd be in when Mom came home. I'm in the doghouse for the price of one snort laugh.

    

Wordless Wednesday: Doggy Love

I wish the kids got along as well as the dogs.
