just to let you know...

Have you noticed the new guess the number box? Just to let you know do NOT, NOT, NOT, go on the website it will tell you to go to if you win. (For the record, I did not originally go on the site, I got the game from somewhere else.) Also, if the number does not change, then I will take it down.

~Running from weird sites, Robin

P.S. I'm going to get braces on the 29th! ;D
P.S.S.Uhhh... I just made this post like, five minuets ago, tried the number thing again, and I clicked the "X" on the box that says if I want to go there. Guess what it did? The site pops up as if I did not press the "X" button at all! So I press the back button, and it bloops to my blog and then back to the site!!! So I did it again and it did the same! Again and Again! grrrr!! So I took it off. (Tee hee to the site:))

Why flounders are funny

I just got a interesting comment for an earlier post: Imponderables. Ok, here it goes...

Why do flounders have both eyes on the same side of their head?

I actually know the answer to that! Long story short, here's why: First, you would have to know that their color, can help disguise them from other fish that could eat them. You would also have to know that they have a near flat body. So, when a predator comes near, it can easily swim to the sandy bottom and disguise it self. There would be only one problem, who would want all that sand in your eye, especially if you're hiding! Thus the both eyes on the same side of the head thing! :)

So there is your answer.

a small announcement

I just have two small announcements:
  1. Yes, I do have the power to change what the Kitties look like. Until I figure out how to get more taen one on my blog, I can change which cat is on the screen. In the last post, I gave a link to the site I can get them from. So if you go there, and find a cat you like, then you could post a comment with the cat's name. If you do then I will change it to that cat until I get another request.
  2. Did you notice the new fish pond? I can also change the colors of those! If you want me to change those as well, well you get the point. You can also feed those fish, by just clicking on your mouse in the box.
~Really cute kitty part two, Robin

my kitty!

I have made a little, but awesome, change to Life as I know It.
Want to guess?

Ok, here is is: Check the top left corner of your screen. See her? A colorful, little cat! She loves to play, she especially likes to play "chase the mouse". If you would like to play with her, then click her once and move your mouse around so she can chase it! Just click her again to stop the game. I also need to re-name her. Her original name was colorful, but as the cool cat she is, I think she deserves more. ;) if you have any ideas, then feel free to post a comment! Oh, and here is the link to the website I got my cat from.

bugs, bugs, bugs!

Ugh! I'm so mad! (And itchy.) Who else out there has a huge mosquito problem like I do? the kind where you wake up in the morning scratching your arms off? I guess it's so bad for my mom, my little sister and I, because we are slightly more allergic than other people. Oh, and we also have giant flies in our house. Honestly, I don't know how many we have in our house, 'cause i think one drowned in my dad's O.J. last night. But if you have the same problem, or can help, please, please, please post a comment about it!

~Really tired of bugs Robin

P.S. Yes, we do have fruit flies too. But my mom found a way to trap them. Here's how:
  1. first get some apple cider vinegar, and pour it in a plastic cup.
  2. next, put some plastic wrap over the cup.
  3. poke small holes in the top of the plastic wrap.
  4. last, put near a place where your fruit flies go the most
The fruit flies will smell the apple cider vinegar and will crawl in to the holes. Eventually they will figure out that they can't get out. After holding on for to long they fill fall in to the apple cider vinegar. One down, a thousand more to go.

Lost at lunchtime

"Well, when I started middle school, I was nervous about where to sit during lunch. I knew from orientation that the cafeteria was really big and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find my friends. I REALLY don't want to be walking around with a lunch tray and not be able to find my friends."

Here's my advice:
I guess it could be kinda awkward wandering around the cafeteria. So here are some things that I would suggest:
  • If you have class with the friends you were planing to sit with right before lunch, then why don't you walk to lunch with those friends?
  • But if you don't, then call your friends ahead of time and think of a place to sit there. (Just try to remember where the tables were from orientation, ie: near the back door, by the lunch line...)
  • Oh, and are you really going to look that odd if you can't find your friends? A whole bunch of people are starting middle school too, probably with the same fear you do!
