??<>??

January is coming to a close and I thought it time to reflect on the happenings so far in 2007. It seems like yesterday we were anticipating the opening of Christmas presents and the excitement that Christmas brings. It's amazing how time goes by so fast. We've enjoyed the month; the van is running great and the kids love the dvd capabilities (They can't wait for the trip to Florida in March). We continue to both be busy at work, and are looking forward to the break with the kids. The kids have enjoyed the change back to winter weather, and are enjoying tobogganing in the park at every chance. The boy spent last Sunday at a friends house and drove their snowmobile. He's all gungho to get one.
As we move into February I look to the 2nd with a sense of trepadation but know that it's the right thing to do.

Happy New Month...

The 15 Uses of Belly Button Lint from the persepective of a 12 year old male...

Have you ever thought about why we have Belly Button Lint in our Belly Buttons? This question I have often pondered and asked; why is there lint in one's belly button? You don’t need that much padding because usually people don’t usually go digging around there….. I think…

Well, God must have put our lint there for a reason. Witch led me to research this topic extensively. I’m only going to share, (since this a school related assignment) school related uses. We all know that school can be pretty dangerous and uh….. Uneventful so when I need, use your lint! A predicament you can use your lint in is when your friend cuts himself during recess; use your lint as a cotton swab to wipe up the blood And or tears and if the lint is long enough you can use your lint as a
Kleenex, just incase you laugh on a cold morning and it looks like you blew you brain through your nostrils! One day if you on the play ground and someone breaks their arm, don’t panic you always, no mater what have a health kit in your belly button. If you don’t have enough lint, combine yours and your friends to make a cast for him/her with the broken arm and just for fun, during recess if you’re bored see who has the biggest lint ball! Over al those are all the Reasons I could think of, but don’t discourage your self try to think of more.

Ya, we all know that recess can be pretty dangerous. Ahh but who cares its fun! Here are some uses for your lint in class.

Imagine it’s a hot day, you’re sitting in class and everybody is starting to dose off and then the kid next to you loses it and takes a dive head first in to sleepy-land and starts snoring like a jet engine; just grab some lint to plug your ears! (This technique can also be used on speeches) Also Lint is scientifically usable as an eraser and you can fulfill your lives dream of making the world’s longest lint in your spare time. (In your spare time I mean when you’re supposed to be working) If you have just finished a unit in P.E and your teacher wants to do something fun, combined all you and you classes lint and have a game of “Tug-a-Lint-War. If you can’t find a book mark (Which often happens to me) use your lint, it works perfectly. And if you need a disguise for any reason use your lint as a moustache. Finely, when you just plain run out of ideas for projects, just use your lint, for instance in art class: die your lint different colors and tie them together. If you lost your pencil (Which I know happens to the best of us) take your lint and some lead, attach the lead to the pencil and voila, c’est magnifique! You have just made a home made pencil! This also works if your pencil breaks and you don’t have a sharpener.

So that’s the uses I found for in class uses.

So inside and outside, your lint can be there to save the day, and improve it.



Then there’s earwax…


But that’s for another time.
