I love this!
NEXT SURVIVOR SERIES
Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 3 kids each for six weeks.
Each kid will play two sports and either take music or dance classes.
There is no fast food.
Each man must take care of his 3 kids; keep his assigned house clean, correct all homework, and complete science projects, cook, do laundry, and pay a list of 'pretend' bills with not enough money.
In addition, each man will have to budget in money for groceries each week.
Each man must remember the birthdays of all their friends and relatives, and send cards out
on time--no emailing.
Each man must also take each child to a doctor's appointment, a dentist appointment
and a haircut appointment.
He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the Urgent Care.
He must also make cookies or cupcakes for a social function.
Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house, planting flowers outside and keeping it presentable at all times.
The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores are done .
The men must shave their legs, wear makeup daily, adorn themselves with jewelry, wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes, keep fingernails polished and eyebrows groomed.
During one of the six weeks, the men will have to endure severe abdominal cramps, back aches,
and have extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once complain or slow down from other duties.
They must attend weekly school meetings, church, and find time at least once to spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting.
They will need to read a book to the kids each night and in the morning, feed them, dress them,
brush their teeth and comb their hair by 7:00 am.
A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information: each child's birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size, and doctor's name. Also the child's weight at birth, length, time of birth, and length of labor, each child's favorite color, middle name, favorite snack, favorite song, favorite drink, favorite toy,
biggest fear and what they want to be when they grow up.
The kids vote them off the island based on performance. The last man wins only if...he still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moment's notice.
If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18-25 years eventually earning the right to be called Mother!

Interesting......
25 THINGS ABOUT TO BECOME EXTINCT IN AMERICA
Will this happen in our life time?
25. U.S. Post Office
They are pricing themselves out of existence. With e-mail, and online services they are a relic of the past. (refer to #9) Packages are also sent faster and cheaper with UPS.
24. Yellow Pages
This year will be pivotal for the global Yellow Pages industry. Much like newspapers, print Yellow Pages will continue to bleed dollars to their various digital counterparts, from Internet Yellow Pages (IYPs), to local search engines and combination search/listing services like Reach Local and Yodel Factors like 20 an acceleration of the print 'fade rate' and the looming recession will contribute to the onslaught. One research firm predicts the falloff in usage of newspapers and print Yellow Pages could even reach 10% this year -- much higher than the 2%-3% fade rate seen in past years.
23. Classified Ads
The Internet has made so many things obsolete that newspaper classified ads might sound like just another trivial item on a long list. But this is one of those harbingers of the future that could signal the end of civilization as we know it. The argument is that if newspaper classifieds are replaced by free online listings at sites like Craigslist.org and Google Base, then newspapers are not far behind them.
22. Movie Rental Stores
While Netflix is looking up at the moment, Blockbuster keeps closing store locations by the hundreds. It still has about 6,000 left across the world, but those keep dwindling and the stock is down considerably in 2008, especially since the company gave up a quest of Circuit City. Movie Gallery, which owned the Hollywood Video brand, closed up shop earlier this year.. Countless small video chains and mom-and-pop stores have given up the ghost already.
21. Dial-up Internet Access
Dial-up connections have fallen from 40% in 2001 to 10% in 2008. The combination of an infrastructure to accommodate affordable high speed Internet connections and the disappearing home phone have all but pounded the final nail in the coffin of dial-up Internet access.
20. Phone Land Lines
According to a survey from the National Center for Health Statistics, at the end of 2007, nearly one in six homes was cell-only and, of those homes that had land lines, one in eight only received calls on their cells.
19. Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs
Maryland's icon, the blue crab, has been fading away in Chesapeake Bay. Last year Maryland saw the lowest harvest (22 million pounds) since 1945. Just four decades ago the bay produced 96 million pounds. The population is down 70% since 1990, when they first did a formal count. There are only about 120 million crabs in the bay and they think they need 200 million for a sustainable population. Over-fishing, pollution, invasive species and global warming get the blame.
18. VCRs
For the better part of three decades, the VCR was a best-seller and staple in every American household until being completely decimated by the DVD, and now the Digital Video Recorder (DVR). In fact, the only remnants of the VHS age at your local Wal-Mart or Radio Shack are blank VHS tapes these days. Pre-recorded VHS tapes are largely gone and VHS decks are practically nowhere to be found. They served us so well.
17. Ash Trees
In the late 1990's, a pretty, iridescent green species of beetle, now known as the emerald ash borer, hitched a ride to North America with ash wood products imported from eastern Asia. In less than a decade, its larvae have killed millions of trees in the Midwest, and continue to spread. They've killed more than 30 million ash trees in southeastern Michigan alone, with tens of millions more lost in Ohio and Indiana. More than 7.5 billion ash trees are currently at risk.
16. Ham Radio
Amateur radio operators enjoy personal (and often worldwide) wireless communications with each other and are able to support their communities with emergency and disaster communications if necessary, while increasing their personal knowledge of electronics and radio theory. However, proliferation of the Internet and its popularity among youth has caused the decline of amateur radio. In the past five years alone, the number of people holding active ham radio licenses has dropped by 50,000, even though Morse Code is no longer a requirement.
15. The Swimming Hole
Thanks to our litigious society, swimming holes are becoming a thing of the past. '20/20' reports that swimming hole owners, like Robert Every in High Falls, NY, are shutting them down out of worry that if someone gets hurt they'll sue. And that's exactly what happened in Seattle. The city of Bellingham was sued by Katie Hofstetter who was paralyzed in a fall at a popular swimming hole in Whatcom Falls Park. As injuries occur and lawsuits follow, expect more swimming holes to post 'Keep out!' signs.
14. Answering Machines
The increasing disappearance of answering machines is directly tied to No 20 our list -- the decline of landlines. According to USA Today, the number of homes that only use cell phones jumped 159% between 2004 and 2007. It has been particularly bad in New York; since 2000, landline usage has dropped 55%. It's logical that as cell phones rise, many of them replacing traditional landlines, that there will be fewer answering machines.
13. Cameras That Use Film
It doesn't require a statistician to prove the rapid disappearance of the film camera in America. Just look to companies like Nikon, the professional's choice for quality camera equipment. In 2006, it announced that it would stop making film cameras, pointing to the shrinking market -- only 3% of i ts sales in 2005, compared to 75% of sales from digital cameras and equipment.
12. Incandescent Bulbs
Before a few years ago, the standard 60-watt (or, yikes, 100-watt) bulb was the mainstay of every U.S. home. With the green movement and all-things-sustaina ble-energy crowd, the Compact Fluorescent Lightbulb (CFL) is largely replacing the older, Edison-era incandescent bulb. The EPA reports that 2007 sales for Energy Star CFLs nearly doubled from 2006, and these=2 0sales accounted for approximately 20 percent of the U.S. light bulb market. And according to USA Today, a new energy bill plans to phase out incandescent bulbs in the next four to 12 years.
11. Stand-Alone Bowling Alleys
Bowling Balls. US claims there are still 60 million Americans who bowl at least once a year, but many are not bowling in stand-alone bowling alleys. Today most new bowling alleys are part of facilities for all types or recreation including laser tag, go-karts, bumper cars, video game arcades, climbing walls and glow miniature golf. Bowling lanes also have been added to many non-traditional venues such as adult communities, hotels and resorts, and gambling casinos.
10. The Milkman
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in 1950, over half of the milk delivered was to the home in quart bottles, by 1963, it was about a third and by 2001, it represented only 0.4% percent. Nowadays most milk is sold through supermarkets in gallon jugs. The steady decline in home-delivered milk is blamed, of course, on the rise of the supermarket, better home refrigeration and longer-lasting milk. Although some milkmen still make the rounds in pockets of the U.S., they are certainly a dying breed.
9. Hand-Written Letters
In 2006, the Radicati Group estimated that, worldwide, 183 billion e-mails were sent each day.. Two million each second. By November of 2007, an estimated 3.3 billion Earthlings owned cell phones, and 80% of the world's population had access to cell phone coverage. In 2004, half-a-trillion text messages were sent, and the number has no doubt increased exponentially since then. So where amongst this gorge of gabble is there room for the elegant, polite hand-written letter?
8. Wild Horses
It is estimated that 100 years ago, as many as two million horses were roaming free within the United States. In 2001, National Geographic News estimated that the wild horse population has decreased to about 50,000 head. Currently, the National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory board states that there are 32,000 free roaming horses in ten Western states, with half of them residing in Nevada. The Bureau of Land Management is seeking to reduce the total number of free range horses to 27,000, possibly by selective euthanasia.
7. Personal Checks
According to an American Bankers Assoc report, a net 23% of consumers plan to decrease their use of checks over the next two years, while a net 14% plan to increase their use of PIN debit. Bill payment remains the last stronghold of paper-based payments -- for the time being. Checks continue to be the most commonly used bill payment method, with 71% of consumers paying at least one recurring bill per month by writing a check. However, a bill-by-bill basis, checks account for only 49% of consumers' recurring bill payments (down from 72% in 2001 and 60% in 2003).
6. Drive-in Theaters
During the peak in 1958, there were more than 4,000 drive-in theaters in this country, but in 2007 only 405 drive-ins were still operating. Exactly zero new drive-ins have been built since 2005. Only one reopened in 2005 and five reopened in 2006, so there isn't much of a movement toward reviving the closed ones.
5. Mumps & Measles
Despite what's been in the news lately, the measles and mumps actually, truly are disappearing from the United States. In 1964, 212,000 cases of mumps were reported in the U.S. By 1983, this figure had dropped to 3,000, thanks to a vigorous vaccination program. Prior to the introduction of the measles vaccine, approximately half a million cases of measles were reported in the U.S. annually, resulting in 450 deaths. In 2005, only 66 cases were recorded.
4. Honey Bees
Perhaps nothing on our list of disappearing America is so dire; plummeting so enormously; and so necessary to the survival of our food supply as the honey bee. Very scary. 'Colony Collapse Disorder,' or CCD, has spread throughout the U.S. and Europe over the past few years, wiping out 50% to 90% of the colonies of many beekeepers -- and along with it, their livelihood.
3. News Magazines and TV News
While the TV evening newscasts haven't gone anywhere over the last several decades, their audiences have. In 1984, in a story about the diminishing returns of the evening news, the New York Times re ported that all three network evening-news programs combined had only 40.9 million viewers.. Fast forward to 2008, and what they have today is half that.
2. Analog TV
According to the Consumer Electronics Association, 85% of homes in the U.S. get their television programming through cable or satellite providers. For the remaining 15% -- or 13 million individuals -- who are using rabbit ears or a large outdoor antenna to get their local stations, change is in the air. If you are one of these people you'll need to get a new TV or a converter box in order to get the new stations which will only be broadcast in digital.
1. The Family Farm
Since the 1930's, the number of family farms has been declining rapidly. According to the USDA, 5.3 million farms dotted the nation in 1950, but this number had declined to 2.1 million by the 2003 farm census (data from the 2007 census is just now being published). Ninety-one percent of the U.S. FARMS are small Family Farms.
Both interesting and saddening, isn't it?

Be Proud!
Some very good points made here.......
Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this?
There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc.
And then there are just Americans. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman'... and that's OK...
But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink ... You call me a racist..
You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you... so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Black History Month.. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Yom Hashoah. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi. You have the NAACP. You have BET....
If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists. If we had White History Month, we'd be racists. If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists.
We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that??
A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships... You know we'd be racists.
There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US .. Yet if there were 'White colleges', that would be a racist college.
In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.
I am proud..... But you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists??
There is nothing improper about this.... Let's see which of you are proud enough to agree. I sadly don't think many will. That's why we have LOST most of OUR RIGHTS in this country. We won't stand up for ourselves!

BE PROUD TO BE WHITE!
It's not a crime YET... but getting very close!

WOW!!
WOW is all I can say right now! It's been so long since I last blogged. There has been so much going on that I needed to take a break just to keep up on things. But boy have I missed blogging!! I have so much to catch up on so let's get started.......
I last posted on the 4th of July when we just started moving and Courtney had just left for Dallas. We spent our first night in the new house on July 3rd. It was very different but good. So far we are very happy in the house. Still trying to unpack some things and find the "perfect" for everything but it definitely is starting feel like home!
Courtney made it a whole month in Dallas!!!! She had so much fun and did so much sight seeing. She's already asked to go back next summer. Her highlight of her vacation was going to the JFK museum and location where he was killed. With her love for President trivia and information, she's talked a lot about this along with going to see the birth place of Eisenhower and the street where George W. Bush lives. She got to do a LOT of swimming, shopping, and playing with Gracie. She also got to spend a week at VBS at Aunt Debbie's church which she enjoyed. I had such mixed feelings about her going. I knew she was going to have a lot of fun and was pretty sure she was going to make it the whole month. But at the same time, I did question it a little bit if she would make it. A month is a long time to go being away from your family, especially when you are 9. But I'm so thankful she made it and such a wonderful experience. It's something I'm sure she will remember for a long time!!
Our month of July was busy and crazy. We finished moving and tried to help my parents as much as possible with their move. Thankfully everyone was moved in time and everything went well. I continued working and Kayla got to spend time with Dave, GiGi, Aunt Lisa, and Mrs. K's. She got to do a lot of fun things and go to some exciting places. One of her favorites was the new City Garden downtown with Aunt Lisa. In fact, she's been there twice!! Kayla settled into the new house without her sister very well. I was surprised. I thought she might struggle a little but she did well. She didn't care to play in the playroom too much without someone downstairs but she's starting to come around and be more comfortable with it now.
The last week of July was vacation week!!! And was a very welcomed vacation week because we needed it!!! The for of us spent a day at Six Flags and had a blast!! Believe it or not but it was the first time the four of us had been there together. We actually realized it was also the first time Dave and I had been there together. We had a great day!! Kayla rode her first roller coaster, Courtney rode several roller coasters, and we all had so much fun. The best part of the whole day.....we all got in for FREE!! It was awesome. The girls had passes from school and Dave and I each had a pass from getting cable installed at the house. The rest of our vacation was spent spending time with the whole family! It was very enjoyable and relaxing!!
August rolled around and it was back to reality. Dave and I both had to go back to work and Courtney was actually home! She had an adjustment to the new house. She struggled a little bit but after a week or so she settled in. Both of the girls have adjusted well and seem to be enjoying their own bedrooms for the first time, a nice big playroom in the basement, and a quiet street they can ride their bikes on.
My return to work did not last long. I worked Monday, Tuesday, and a half of day on Wednesday. I had to take off Thursday and Friday off and then over the weekend we made the choice for me not to go back for many reasons. So currently I'm working with my mom a few days a week and selling on eBay again. I'm hoping to find something part time, and working from home would be an extra bonus! ;) We are taking it day by day right now and seeing where things go. With our schedule, working full time just seems....well, very difficult. Courtney has practice on Mondays, Kayla on Tuesdays, and Courtney again on Wednesdays. Not to mention Kayla's girl scouts, homework, and everything else that comes along. So I'm hopeful with some smart shopping, watching every penny, and that something part time will come along we will be right back where we were when I was working. :)
So August continued on and before we knew it, it was back to school time. I was NOT happy about this!! I felt we didn't have much of a summer. But the school year started and the girls are excited to be back. Sort of! They like it, they just don't like having to get up so early in the morning. We are trying to settle back into a school routine and adjusting back to an earlier bed time ans the alarm going off at 6:30am.
Well....I think you are just about caught up now on what's been going on around here. I plan on getting back on my regular blogging schedule again so hopefully I can stay on top of it again. I'm going to try and post some pictures here soon.....sadly I don't have many from the summer since things were a little off this year.

Too much!
* Craziness * Stressful * Exciting! *
Pretty much sums up the last week around the Fritsche house! We are currently in the process of moving. My parents finally sold their house so the hunt for a new place began. We found a new house that we are very excited about! More coming about the house later. So there's been a lot of packing and moving going on for the last week. We got the keys to the new house last Thursday, June 25th. In the middle of all the moving, I have also started a new job with a Farmer's Insurance agent. There's a lot of changes going on around here so I haven't had much time to update the last week. But once we are all moved and the unpacking is mostly finished, blogging will be back on the list of things to do! :)
Our other exciting news for the week is, Courtney headed back to Dallas with Aunt Debbie, Michelle, and Gracie on Monday. They had been here visiting for the last week and Courtney decided to go back home with them. They already had a trip to STL planned for the end of July so the plan right now is for her to stay until they come back to STL.........in 4 weeks!!!!!! It's going to be so strange not having Courtney around. We will have to wait and see if she makes it the whole time. I think she will, she was very excited about going so I think she is going to be just fine. I think it's going to be harder on Mommy and Daddy! :) Kayla decided to stay home after realizing just how long she would be gone. It was going to be too long for her to be away.
Well, off to bed.....I need to try and catch up on some sleep!!
Pretty much sums up the last week around the Fritsche house! We are currently in the process of moving. My parents finally sold their house so the hunt for a new place began. We found a new house that we are very excited about! More coming about the house later. So there's been a lot of packing and moving going on for the last week. We got the keys to the new house last Thursday, June 25th. In the middle of all the moving, I have also started a new job with a Farmer's Insurance agent. There's a lot of changes going on around here so I haven't had much time to update the last week. But once we are all moved and the unpacking is mostly finished, blogging will be back on the list of things to do! :)
Our other exciting news for the week is, Courtney headed back to Dallas with Aunt Debbie, Michelle, and Gracie on Monday. They had been here visiting for the last week and Courtney decided to go back home with them. They already had a trip to STL planned for the end of July so the plan right now is for her to stay until they come back to STL.........in 4 weeks!!!!!!
