Easter Bunny Bootcamp

Cornerstone Community News, Vol. 1, Issue 4

As the Easter holiday fast approaches, the newest selection of Easter Bunnies are finishing there last minute drills and preparations for their big day. Will Shutter, our resident photographer and sometimes reporter here in the Cornerstone Community, recently visited the local training facility here on the Cumberland Plateau. Will said that he was astonished at how much training these bunny candidates endure in order to get the baskets and eggs delivered on time.

Training starts in January and lasts 12 weeks. Specially chosen candidates are taught skills such as basket building, egg safety, egg dying, Easter egg hiding, chocolate care, jelly bean distribution, and proper basket delivery. Will Shutter tried to get and interview from one of the candidates for this story, but was informed that Easter Bunnies do not talk. Will went on to say, they handled themselves like militia, and had no doubt the baskets would be on time this year.

Flash 55 Friday - We are talking about respect...

I am not just another bitch, and will not be treated like one. Am I asking too much, when I say, show a little respect for my position? Blot out from your mind any idea of superiority, you have none. All I ask is that you respect me for what I am, a human being.

If you share your life with a pet, you know they become more than just pets in the course of things. To some, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly. Although the picture is not of one of my dogs, she does represent the attitude and persona of our female.

It's perspective

It's all about perspective. No matter what it is, religion, politics, money, love, school, work, relationships, parenting, blogging, inappropriate, funny, good, evil, it's all about perspective.

Weekly Funny... A Texas Teacher

This weeks funny, was sent to me by my wife.

Did you hear about the teacher in Texas who was helping one of her kindergarten students put his cowboy boots on?

He asked for help and she could see why...

Even with her pulling and him pushing, the little boots still didn't want to go on. By the time they got the second boot on, she had worked up a sweat.

She almost cried when the little boy said, 'Teacher, there on the wrong feet.' She looked, and sure enough, they were. It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as together they worked to get the boots back on, this time, on the right feet...

He then announced, 'These aren't by boots...'

She bit her tongue rather than get right in his face and scream, 'Why Didn't You Say So?' like she wanted to. Once again she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off his feet. No sooner had they gotten the boots off when he said, ' There my brother's boots. My mom made me wear them.'

Now she didn't know if she should laugh or cry. But, she mustered up what grace and courage she had left to wrestle the boots on his little feet again.

Helping him into coat, she asked, 'Now, where are your mittens?'

He said, 'I stuffed em in the toes of my boots.'

She will be eligible for parole in three years!

Flash 55 Friday - My Invisibility

A young boy's fantasy, inspired by 10Cent comic books, read as a child.
Was there a drug he should take, an invisibility cream, or maybe a disappearing ray?
Could it be true?
Was it possible a person could wander the streets invisible to the world?
It was much later in life, when he discovered invisibility.
