Oh, Greg Daniels, you make me laugh til I snort

So last night, I was working on some stuff for Natalie and watching the American version of the show "The Office" with Steve Carell. I was watching the credits and I saw that Greg Daniels works on that show. Greg Daniels also works on King of the Hill (and he used to work on the Simpsons, back when the Simpsons was still funny. I think he was around on seasons 2-4 of that show). So I'm not surprised that I like the Office since Greg Daniels works on it. I love the humor in that show because it sort of understated humor which is what I like.
I have some bad news though. I went out to the barn yesterday morning to milk. As I was doling out the feed I noticed that Mr. Strickland was not getting up. And I then I noticed that he wasn't breathing either. Alas, poor Mr. Strickland was dead. So mom and I took him to the vet school to have a necropsy so we can figure out what happened. So yesterday was kind of a bummer. But on a more positive note, mom and I gave blood yesterday as well. There is a serious blood shortage at the local blood bank so we gave blood (and got free movie tickets!).
I was reading an interesting article in Newsweek (on line) about how getting pregnant became cool due to so many celebrities becoming pregnant and showing it off. The expert that was interviewed also talked about an increase in both baby services and baby experts. In regards to more baby experts she said "I don't mind experts. I mind that women aren't willing to be a little more intuitive. That bothers me a lot." So I thought it was good that someone is an expert wants women to take her advice with a grain of salt. She also had a funny quote about more baby products: " I got a phone call from somebody that said, 'I have a really amazing entrepreneurial idea. I'm going to come up with an organic baby-food mill. I'm like, 'We all have them. It's called a Cuisinart.'

Have you gotten the results from Dr. hilton?
What's that quote about the bees? i don't remember that one. Also, i was watching a show with Pamela Aldon and when she said one of her lines, she sounded just like "booby hill". it was pretty weird

The bees quote is when Hank forgets to send in his insurance payment and the coverage lapses. Dale buys bees to sell the honey and people want to get bee stings instead. And Dale tries to "heal" his arm that way and kicks over the hive in anger.
