Dont' Shop at Walmart

2009-09-28T20:36:00.000-07:00

This is an excerpt of a something my brothers family endured at Walmart this week. Truly disgusting.

Brad Holck via Facebook - The short version is, Kennedy picked a mug off the shelf and its contents spilled on her soaking her dress so much that it soaked through her underwear. Also getting in her hair and on her sandals. Well the contents in the mug was URINE. Yes URINE!!!! I told the greeter what had happened and she asked a custodian to clean the area. He mopped ... Read Morearea emptied the rest of the URINE out of the cmug and placed it back on the shelf to be sold. Kenned freaked out and just kept saying "I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to." there is more to the story but it's too much to type. Stay away from Walmart. The only people to say sorry was the lady at the check out stand and the greeter. Managers just tried to pacify the situation with a set of free clothes to replace the URINE stained dress.

We have begun a process of changing how we communicate with the younger people in our congregation and decided the best way to do it was to take a poll and see how people are already getting their news and info then finding ways to use those technologies to connect our church together. So... we took a text message poll today to see how many people in our third service use Facebook.
Here are the results...

Extreme Home Makeover

2009-01-14T21:23:00.001-08:00

Had to go check things out tonight since EHM is in town. Abbie is begging to ditch school to see the house reveal tomorrow but not gonna happen. Tonight was the move in so we could see lots of action in the house and caught a glimpse of Didiayer the female Australian designer going in and out and Michael who did crowd walk throughs and was working with the contractors on stuff. Heard that Ty had made it back to Fresno from El Paso where they start the next build in the next 2 days but missed him.
The house is amazing and you can see, although I'd have picked another color.

We had another Dr appointment today and he said everything is looking good with the baby. Picked October 30 for the C-section date, so... baring anything happening, the baby will make Holck birthday number 4 that falls in the final 3 days of October. Talk about an expensive month.

Alien or Baby

Okay, so Deb is cracking me up because she is video taping her stomach dong the hokey-pokey and explaining what is going on in case the camera doesn't show the details quite enough. It's hysterical to watch her and even more funny to listen to her running CNN like dialog. Oh and she just gave me that look for even thinking of posting this. For all you married guys I'm sure you know which look I mean.

Shameless Plug

2008-08-28T22:54:00.000-07:00

Okay, I realize this stinks as a first legitimate entry but I stayed up late a couple of nights ago and busted out 2 tshirt designs for a contest at www.ragamuffinsoul.com (Carlos Whittaker's blog) You've got to check out the art that was submitted www.blirts.com. Go through the links under Ragamuffinsoul, vote on the shirts you like and maybe someone you know (me) will have their shirt (shameless plug for #25 and #26) printed. Not the best stuff I've ever done but not too bad for a midnight entry.

After the contest is over, Blirts.com will print and sell the shirts.
For every shirt sold, a child will get clean water for a year in Africa.
Blirts makes a profit.
All the profit RagamuffinSoul makes (5 dollars) will be donated to Compassion Internationals Global Food Crisis Fund.

Pretty sweet whether its me or not. Vote on
