Spectacular Pictures

This picture is so beautiful it is so soothing and i don’t know why. But it must have been so fun to see all of that.

This is picture is one of my favorites because there is nothing like it in the world and they almost never show. Also it has my name in it!

This picture is just breath taking. There is a beautiful sunset, but the is also a giant lighting bolt.

This is such a great picture. The color of the sky and water are a color i have never seen in the sky let alone at all. It’s a pinkish purple.

This is beautiful in it own way, but also because it reminds me of hikes back in Oregon.

10 Odd Jobs

iwishiwasacow — Thu, 28 May 2009 12:53:34 +0000

1. Iceman (a man that delivered ice to houses like a milkman) – this job no longer exists because we either have ice makers in our refrigerators or we can go to a convenient store to one of the ice machines.

2. Typewriter Repairman – nobody uses typewriters anymore…so this is definitely not as common of a job as it used to be.

3. Elevator Operator – everyone knows how to operate an elevator nowadays (even though the technology has gotten so much more complicated, it’s so much easier to operate…I don’t really understand that, but it makes sense.)

4. Milkmen – people can go to the store to buy milk. Also, the glass bottles aren’t as widely used anymore.

5. Street sweeper – we have machines to sweep the streets now, so people don’t just go around with brooms and sweep the streets anymore.

6. Lamp lighters – we have electricity, and therefore do not need fire in our lamps.

7. Town crier – we use newspapers instead of these people (who shout out the news to people that walk past).

8. Coal tender (on a steam locomotive) – we don’t use steam trains anymore, so this isn’t needed.

9. Switchboard operators – we don’t even use those things anymore, because technology is so highly advanced since the invention of the telephone.

10. Telegraph operators – I don’t even know what a telegraph is, but it sounds pretty old, so we probably don’t have those things anymore either.

11. Shoe makers – there might be some still around, but usually shoes are made in factories.

12. Candle makers – I guess those are probably made in factories too now.

13. Newspaper print setters – printing isn’t done by hand anymore, or by the old machinery they used to use, so people aren’t needed to set newspaper print.

Sexting

1. Sexting is the back and forth sending of racy pictures between phones (texting, with the word “sex” in it. Catchy.)

2. It’s always dangerous because people could get the wrong idea about you if you send racy pictures of yourself around. In advisory we learned about this girl who killed herself because of all the crap people gave her for sending naked pictures of herself to her boyfriend. It could cause serious depression.

4. I can never trust all of my friends…and especially not with “racy” pictures of myself. I really don’t believe in sending naked pictures around, I think it’s degrading and stupid, so I’d never do it anyways. I have a lot of friends, and a lot of them have violated my trust.

5. There are always more dangers to sexting, depending on who recieves the picture and who sends it. Like the story of the girl who committed suicide, that’s always a danger.
