So in class we're gonna start this stock Market game. The Purples last year liked it and it sounds real fun. The thing is, we have to learn about all these stock market terms and stuff. That's all fine and dandy but we have to read these papers about the guy that started the Hershey company. By the way, Milton Hershey went bankrupt 2 times with his businesses. On his 3 business he succeeded. After that he went on to making milk chocolate and was the 1st person in the US of A. He got his chocolate idea from the Europeans.

how Flubber's doing
For all you peoples out there who miss Flubber, (my dwarf hamster) he is doing fine. He is less scared of me now but i still can't pick him up. When there is a large amount of rucous he doesn't flinch unless there is someone in the room with a big hammer whacking it against the wall with great force (and yes there was someone in my room with a hammer, smashing it against the wall.)
Do you know anyone that is very particular about their food? Well Flubber absolutely won't eat these little pellets that I think have nutrition in them. I have to put the pellets in a container so that I won't put them back in the dish. It annoys me greatly. Very greatly.
He's still as content as ever, so don't worry about him any longer.

Purple Days (update)
Feb. 13, 2009
So today was Friday the 13th. Everyone was talking about trikadecaphobia or something. trikadecaphobia is when your scared of the number 13. But i wasn't talking about the 13th, i was talking about Marley. Marley is a piece of papar with a rat on it. The rat is Marley. I made him yesterday and gave him to my teacher. the next day I found out that the cleaning ladies had taken him.
Well, you know, i kinda needed to blame it on somebody. Well I couldn't blame it on the cleaning lady, it was her job, you see? So I blamed it on Giramma. Yesterday Giramma had stolen Marley. So naturally i blamed it on him and his little cronies too.
Well he didn't have any cronies so I picked a few out myself. The first person I picked was Zucco. I think I went overboard with that one. I just kept yelling, "I'm still mad about Marley!" My next victim was Ms. Caragher. I was kinda hyper by that time. and I kept yelling, "Vengeance will be mine, oh poor Marley, you evil dirty rotten scum, I will get you all, Giramma and his little cronies too! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!" I kinda sounded like the wicked witch of the west.
Some people thought I might have problems. But i just said I was hyper and they left me alone. I really could have used a bonk in the head. But no blows came. Caragher just turned the sound on her ipod all the way up. then when I was just sitting in the snow next to Caragher one of my classmates mom came up and gave us candy. It was for valentines day. We aren't aloud to celebrate valentine's day. Well then I calmed down and that was the end of that.

A Global Warning About Global Warming
I have a few things to say on global warming, first, global warming is bad. Now some actual facts:
•Average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius) around the world since 1880
•The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia
•Arctic ice is rapidly disappearing, and the region may have its first completely ice-free summer by 2040 or earlier
•Glaciers and mountain snows are rapidly melting—for example, Montana's Glacier National Park now has only 27 glaciers, opposed to 150 in 1910
•Coral reefs, which are highly sensitive to small changes in water temperature, suffered the worst bleaching—or die-off in response to stress—ever recorded in 1998, with some areas seeing bleach rates of 70 percent
• An upsurge in the amount of extreme weather events, such as wildfires, heat waves, and strong tropical storms, is also attributed in part to climate change by some expert
there's some simple things you can do that will help stop global warming:
change to energy efficient light bulbs
buy a hybrid car
turn your thermostat down 2 degrees
RECYCLE
plant a tree
buy locally
only use dishwasher if it's full
REUSE
fill up your car tires
change your car filter
there's many more and not all are right for you
if you want to learn more about global warming see the documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth." This documentary is truly amazing and is very informative on what is to come in the years ahead if we don't do anything.
