Flowers Bring Me Happiness


At first, I bet you were thinking these flowers were from my husband. No, these flowers are from a great friend. I was having a crummy day yesterday, and I told a friend about it. Well, today there was a knock at the door while I was home for lunch. I opened it, and there were flowers with a card that said, "I hope today is not a 'grumpy' day." What a nice friend! She made my day. Anyway, I just thought I would show a pretty picture of my flowers from a great friend!

The Whizzinator

So, we had a lecture about substance abuse today, and we were discussing different ways that people cheat the system. One particular way that athletes have tried to cheat the system is with "The Whizzinator." I wanted to post a picture, but none of the pictures were very appropriate. The whizzinator is a fake penis that comes in three colors (to match your skin, of course) to slide over a real one. It has a heating element and a place for someone else's urine to be put in. The company is no longer in business after a professional athlete was found to have one in his luggage at an airport a few years ago. And, people go to even greater lengths than just putting on a fake penis. Some have even catheterized themselves to remove their own urine and put someone else's urine in their bladder right before a drug test. GROSS!

Anyway, I thought it was funny--and sad--what people will do to avoid being caught with different substances in their urine. The moral of the story: Don't do drugs!
