#BB17 - Liz Wins the HOH, Johnny Mac and Becky are put on the Block - Another #Showmance Bites the Dust #lol!



#BB17 - Johnny Mac and Becky are put on the Block - Where Does John Stand?? #Nominations
Another one bites the dust... #Showmance, #Nomance, Who knows?? 

And Liz Won the HOH - Go, Liz, Get the Money... lol! 

Well, well, well ( I just wanted to say that - bah'hahaha!)... anyway, finally, Becky and Johnny Mac are up on the Block, together - not sure why anyone would be surprised by that, since they're clearly a known couple, a #Showmance, - like, Showmance-Light... lol!  Johnny Mac has even talked about going in for the kiss with Becky (again! lol!), and Steve tells John to wait 'til they get to Jury... interesting, right?  


"Soon we won't have to hide our love..." bah'hahahaha! 


Oh, yeah, they're a couple... another #BBshowmance! lol! 






I hope Liz and Julia don't fall prey to Becky's angry words... or, Austin, either...


Sooo, hmmm, sure looks like there's been some, errr, surgical enhancement, perhaps, and 'augmentation', if you will... and Becky has been talking about her train accident in Germany, a lot, in Big Brother After Dark, and the other #BBhouseguests keep asking, "So, have you ever had any plastic surgery?"  No, says Becky.  "Not even after your train wreck?" They're all very skeptical.... and for good reason - just come clean with it, for Goodness Sake - 

And I have soo many questions about that train accident, because Becky says her lips were waaay over to the other side of her face, but when they took her to the hospital, and SAVED HER LIFE, she sounds like she was a #Basicbitch (since she calls herself #BasicBecky) to the nurses in the German Hospital - she says, and these are her own words, she refused to take her meds, and kept demanding her cell phone - she says, she just kept saying, "Bring me my phone, bring me my phone, bring me my phone."  Uh, okay, that's odd - how can you even speak, if that really happened to your mouth, and there's no room for kindness?  These people are busy saving your life, you can't find room to say please? You couldn't motion making a phone call, look pleadingly, skip the mean thing? 

AND, (me got a lot o' questions - I'm the Question Lady...) anyway, Becky says she left her 'boyfriend's' house at 6:00 am, hood up, she was hit by the train when she put her head around a van/moving truck  (she said they were moving a piano - at 6:00 am?), and when she put her head around the front of the van, WHAM, the train hit her face, threw her backward, about 20 feet. I was amazed at the level of detail that she remembers from this horrifying accident, and it is a total miracle that she survived (thanks to the German hospital), so it seemed so odd, how she was telling the story... she did say, eventually, oh, they were really good, they were trying to save her life before they worried about contacting her family...

But there was no mention of 'the boyfriend', and only her assistant came to help her out, in the hospital... I don't know, it's just seemed like things didn't really add up, and that was weird to keep all that information under her hat, until, what, Day 59? Anyway, so lucky she was saved - lucky girl, for sure!

Oh, and with German Engineering, which we all know is impeccable, there's no way the crossing guards wouldn't be working, so it seems like Becky would've tried to cross where she wasn't supposed to cross... it just doesn't make any sense... but, Thank God that's where that accident happened, because she may not have survived that level of injury if she'd been somewhere else, and Becky said her medical bills were $25,000 (seems high, since it's Germany..., but anyway, guess I've questioned enough of this story! lol!), but if, God Forbid, that had happened to her in America, she said her medical bills would've been over $300,000 - wow, that's so scary.  I'm Canadian, so I can't imagine what a nightmare it must be not to have excellent healthcare, when you ever might need it, for free. Scary. Man, she's a lucky girl! 





Well, that has to be an incredible bra, if there's no plastic surgery, involved... just be honest - what's with all that 'secret' plastic surgery, now? lol! Makes me laugh! : )


Man, I can't tell where the loyalties really lie, now... Meg and James are tight, that's good, but Meg has to let go of that whole 'Revenge' thing - revenge for Da', revenge for Jason, and now revenge for Becky...nope.  they're gone, now, you've gotta fight for yourself, especially when the numbers get smaller and smaller, you have to stay soo flexible, willing and able to change your game on a dime... we're talking about $500,000., here, sooo, that has to be the focus, not someone you've just become friends with, a couple of months, ago... 

And that goes for Austin and the Twins, Johnny Mac and Becky, maybe even the Twins, Liz and Julia - they aren't necessarily gonna share that money - I think that's just a happy assumption, because they're Twins, and playing a Twin Game, but whoever wins it, wins it fair and square, and it's up to whoever wins Big Brother, to make their own decisions on who they might, or might not, share it with, right? lol!


I really want to see Vanessa and James work, together - they're both so trustworthy... I really like Steve, but that sooo threw me off, tonight, with Steve turning to the camera, to say he was acting??  Man that's soo tricky! That's #SneakySteve, right there! lol!

I really hope Becky was not successful at being a snake in the grass with the Twins... Becky's on the warpath for Vanessa, sooo, you'd think the Twins, Liz and Julia, with Liz as the HOH, along with Austin, to see through it, but, who knows?

I cannot STAND when Becky says that Vanessa is running everyone's game, like no one has a mind of their own in the Big Brother House - I hate that - aaarrrgghh!! So annoying.

And there's far too big an assumption that the Twins aren't smart, because they're so pretty - they're both university educated, they're both smart girls, and, I am sure, they are playing a very good BB game - lol! #smartANDpretty





Oh, man, it's soo hard to get a good read on Johnny Mac and Steve - you feel soo sorry for Steve, when he's crying after the Eviction Ceremony, and the girls are soo kind to Steve, Liz, Julia and Vanessa, all hugging Steve, making him feel better, he sends them out the room, then says to the camera, he's only 50% acting... whatdahell,  as James would say! lol! 

So, for real, where is Steve??  He's playing both sides of the house, too - almost everyone is, at this stage of Big Brother, right?  Vanessa has her two teams of 6, which is pretty much everybody, except Becky, and hopefully Becky will be out the Big Brother house, this week... unless Johnny Mac does more crazy stuff, like not even having a reasonable conversation with Vanessa... that made no sense.. where was Johnny Mac's game in that whole thing? Made no sense...

And, last week, when Steve needed Johnny Mac's reassurance, Johnny Mac told him, straight up, he wasn't gonna support Steve, he was behind Shelli, all the way, and there seems to be some odd connection to Clay and Shelli, still, even though Clay and Shelli are both out the #BBhouse... so, the speculation is that Johnny Mac might be related to Clay...who knows, right?  It's Biiiig Brother... hahahaha! Or, as me likes to call it, Big Brutha' - dat make'a me laugh! 


Vanessa was really shocked by Johnny Mac's weird reaction to her conversation with him - he just kept calling Vanessa a 'bully' (a very big word) (thems fightin' words, Johnny Mac - or should we call ou 'John', now? lol!)

One of my favorite things that happens in almost all relationships - you have a sweet little name for the person you love, or really like, so, in this case, Johnny Mac, or your spouse, and you call them Honey, or Sweetie...and then they do something bad, and the very first thing that goes is the sweet name - now you're just 'John', or 'Bob', or 'Susan' - hahahaha!  Ah, that makes me laugh!  So, now even Big Brother is labeling Johnny Mac, 'John'.  Ruh-roh!  Twouble!! #BBtrouble - lol!




 iTunes


In case you're lookin' for a little Showmance of your very own - lol!

Okay, go have yourself some nice little snacks, or, as Stephen Colbert said in his hilarious ad in the middle of Big Brother, go have a couple of heavy meals before you head to bed, develop your own body of a Comedy Writer - that was hi-larious! Oh, Stephen Colbert, he makes me laugh so hard! hahaha! 'Til Next Time! Ailsa : )

Well, here's something hilarious - right after Stephen Colbert says to have a nice big bowl of Fettuccine Alfredo, right before you go to bed, so you, too, can develop a Comedy Body...anyway, so I juuust had my dinner, well past midnight, and I had a big bowl of mushroom pasta with meatballs - and cheese - bah'hahahahha! Thanks for the advice, Stephen Colbert! Done and done! : )

  #WinnieThePooh, and Piglet, too! Always, always, soo sweet! #LoveLoveLove!


And, for adults, and teens - anyone, any age, really - remember to read, or, re-read, The Tao of Pooh, and The Te of Piglet - beautiful little books, you'll love them! : )


So, I'm a teacher, and I loove to teach music, and I love to add some music into almost any class I teach - if I can figure out a way to sneak in some music, I'm there....Oh, and normally I'm a Special Education Teacher, that's my very favourite thing to do, I love it soo much, I just add music in wherever I can, and I started out as a Kindergarten Teacher, and my students just got older and older and older - all the way up to 92 - no kidding! lol! I love them all! Gimme a student, I'll teach them! and happy to do it!  : )

If you are a teacher, and you want another technique for managing your class, especially in the older grades, just use some music - when you are at that stage in your classroom where your students are working quietly (or, are supposed to be working quietly), just turn on some good music - not crap music, that won't work - bah'hahahaha!  But, you know, turn on some good music.

I do this quietly, when the class is 'new-to-me', and don't already know that I'm doing this.

Anyway, when everyone's working nicely, just go and turn the music on.  The kids will notice.  If things get out of hand, or beyond where you want them to be, just go and turn it off. You can explain it, if you want to, but they'll know what's happening with a good look - lol! You must master 'the look'! And it can be a kind look, too, doesn't have to be all stern and mean - sometimes, it does, depending on the class, or what's going down in your classroom, but, generally, when the kids know and respect you, they'll catch on, right away, and get back down to business.

Music is a great reward.

Music Builds Brains!  And Humor Builds Brains!  Build Bigger Brains - lol!

Oh, so here's what I started out wanting to tell you about - lol!

If you are ever teaching The Three Bears, or teaching your students about Speech Fugues, this is a really fun one, and age doesn't mater, everyone loves it - it's funny, you'll all laugh - and I think Laughter in a Classroom is essential - more laughter, more learning. A happy student is a student who wants to be there, who is more open to learning...in any subject.

So here's the Speech Fugue:

The Three Bears

Use your best low-pitched, Papa Bear voice, then your sweet Mama Bear voice, then you're high-pitched, cute, Baby Bear voice - you'll love it! Is hilarious! lol!

Papa Bear: I'm hun-gry. I'm hun-gry. I'm emp-ty - inside. (Repeat)

Baby Bear: Me, too! (Right at the end of Papa Bear's line, Repeat)

Mama Bear (Right after Baby Bear says, "Me, too!")

I'm cookin' in the kitchen, I'm cookin' in the kitchen, I'm cookin' in the kitchen for Ba-by Bear,

I'm cookin' in the kitchen, I'm cookin' in the kitchen, I'm cookin' in the kitchen for Pa-pa Bear...  (Repeat)

And you'll now be in a full Round!

Just keep going until everyone breaks down in laughter - you'll have so much fun!

Oh, and here's how I even thought of this, today.. my 15 year old son was in the kitchen, saying, "I'm hungry" - so, of course, me breaks into song, with Papa Bear's, "I'm Hun-gry, I'm hun-gry, I'm emp-ty, inside - Me, too!"...and then I did the entire speech fugue - bah'hahahaah!

Luckily, I've raised a couple of very, very, funny children, so Aidan laughed, and I must've made him something yummy for dinner! hahaha! (Of course, Aidan is very adept in the kitchen - it's soo important for parents to teach their children well - did you like that? A little throwback for you, there, a little Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.... Teach Your Children Well... haha!  Anyway, and, I digress, as always... lol... but it's so important to teach your children to cook and clean for themselves, to manage money, truly understand everything it takes to be a good and successful, healthy adult, and then they can become good parents, too... see how it all comes around, full circle? All that, from one little funny Speech Fugue! lol!  And that all needs to be taught in the schools, too
: )

To Happy Children (and Happy Everyone!!), Ailsa : )

Looks cute - the Bears, they're all circumspect! lol! 

 Hahaha!  This just made me laugh! "Again, Goldilocks?? Come on!"



 Well, this is perfect - yum, mah' fave - Porridge! (It really is my fave!!)
I love Porridge!! 

Ooh, just thought, you can make porridge with your whole class, add milk, or brown sugar and cinnamon, or some fruit - teach the kids how to make porridge and how delicious and healthy oatmeal is : )  #GoodPlan! lol!


 Well, this looks hilarious!  I would totally read this to my kids - at school, or at home! lol! 

 Okay, this litte link will take you straight to Goatilocks and the three bears, by Erica S. Perl, and illustrated by Arthur Howard- looks hilarious!

Oh, and as a little aside, I always told my students who the author was, and who was the illustrator - that's valuable information for a child to know : )

 Look how happy the Baby Bear is?  So happy!!

 Well, you know this just makes me laugh!  I love Roald Dahl!! 

 Oh, hmmm, now I can't remember, but pretty sure I just linked this to Goldilocks and the Three Bears - I make it easy fo' you!! lol!



 Looks very cute! 

       The original Goldilocks??  Uh-oh!
 Ruh-roh!  You gotta watch out for those Goldilocks Girls! lol!  

FREE Mega Millions Lottery Ticket!

So funny!  Loove Jonathon Winters!


 Don't we all love coloring??  You'd be surprised how much your students, all the way through High School, will work hard to get to color - it's hilarious, and a lot of fun!  And coloring is a very good way to get a conversation going, if there's something difficult to talk about, or you want to talk gently with your students - and it can be used as a management technique, in any situation, where you want to make people feel at ease, and to talk freely... just a little Art Therapy, right there! : )

Here's something else to do with Bears - Gummy Bears! lol!  I love the Gummy Vitamins, and I have to get the Gummy Vitamins for Children, because they're the only Gummy Vitamins I could find that have real sugar, since I don't eat any fake sugar - yick! Plus, I'm allergic to it - it makes mah' mouff all funny... so, real sugar it is! Anyway, we were buying the Disney Vitamins - we have the Disney Princess Vitamins, right now - don't think my son is thrilled about that, but I loved them because they have the Sour Gummy Vitamins - yum! Deeelish, right? lol!

But now they don't sell the Disney Gummy Vitamins with that delicious Sour Sugar on the outside (where we live, in BC, Canada, anyway... Lucky Americans, I bet they still get delicious sugary Disney Treats! lol!), so here's my oh-so-clever fix... I just add in a handful of our regular Sour Gummy Bears, in with the Gummy Vitamins, give it a good shake, and then just make sure you get one regular Sour Gummy Bear with your one or two Gummy Vitamins - There, no more icky taste! Yahoo!  Problem solved!

 I just linked this ad to our fave Disney Gummy Vitamins - yum!
