Real Mountain Values started as a running joke between myself, Brianna Willis and my husband, Patrick. A certain politician ran a campaign that constantly discussed mountain values. To tell you the truth Patrick and I don't remember that much about the campaign other than every time we would see a sign or commercial we would discuss exactly what made up a mountain value... Shotgun weddings?

We would love to hear from you!

God and Facebook

Me and Brianna were looking at some of her “friends” groups this evening and came across a few doozies that that kind of made us say a collective “Hmm”. Example: “When the Rapture Happens, I Won’t Be Using Facebook” and “Petition to get the sexual ads off the right side of Facebook”. You know, I’ve honestly never thought about that first one, and the second-well, I think that’s why God gave us eyelids. So we can close our eyes and look another direction.

Speaking of God, this stuff kind of makes me wonder what God’s facebook page would look like

Don’t Do It!

Now normally Brianna usually knows a bit more about computers than I do, but tonight was an exception. As she was looking at facebook, she noticed that a friend of hers apparently had a hacked account and posted and “interesting” status update. It looked weird to her and so she said to me, “Hmm, it looks like this account has been hacked.” As she was saying this, I tried to tell her, “Yes, don’t click on the link, it’s probably a virus.” However, the only bit I could get out was the “Yes, don’t cli…” before she clicked on the

There Are No Secrets

Me and Brianna have been together for a while, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned from our time together is that there really are no secrets between us. And what I’ve learned is that if one of us knows something, then more than likely both us know it. So some advice to folks out there: If you let me know of a dark, dirty secret, then you might as well tell Brianna too, cuz she’s going to find out/know, and vice versa. Now it’s not like we go out and actively seek this information-usually it comes up in some

Welfare Baby

Well, I’ve decided. McClain has sat around too long getting handouts from Mom and Dad. After three months, it’s time he finally do what the rest of have to do: work. Yep, he’s gonna get a job. I’m not sure what he wants to do with his life, but I guess he’ll have to figure it out soon because sooner rather than later he’s gonna have to pull his own weight (which is quite hefty I might add) around here or get kicked out to the curb. I’m serious. These are difficult times, and he needs to get his butt

Dust Bunnies

So I’m not usually one to comment on such issues, but I was reminded the other day about a little-known domestic factoid: dust bunnies are extremely intelligent. Now you make think that dust bunnies are really inanimate objects made up of things like lint, dust, animal hair, dust mites and general goo, but in reality, when combined, it equals a smart and savvy creature.

You see, as I was vacuuming the other day, I sucked up a fair number of the lesser dust bunnies and crud on the floor. I thought it looked pretty good so I put up the

Stop the Insanity

You have most likely noticed that our posting frequency has taken a nose dive the last couple of weeks.  We haven’t abandoned our blog, we just haven’t exactly hit our stride yet.  See working + parenting = fail.  We should have known, because parenting without working was kicking our collective ass, now it’s just twice the insanity.

It’s not like parenting is bad, or that work is that bad, it is that time of day when you are trying to do both that sucks.  It is called: Getting Ready In The Morning.  This one action requires strategic planning in the

Chicken or the Egg

So when I see a really large (overbese) person in one of those motorized scooters, I always ask myself “which came first, the bulk or the scooter?” Did they become fat because they tooled around in a scooter for too long, or did the scooter come after the fatness had already materialized?

And what’s up with large people using the scooters meant for the handicapped. You know, the people that actually NEED them? Come on. And it seems that this sentiment is pretty universal. Just Google “fat people” and “scooter” and look at all the responses you get.

Overall, I

Stupid Questions

As I was teaching class the other night, I had a thought. “Is there really such a thing as  a stupid question?” I got thinking about it and here’s what I’ve come up with. The important aspect about a stupid question is not actually the question itself, it’s where you are when you ask it.

For example, if you are in a classroom and a stupid utterance comes out, that’s one thing. You’re there to learn. And obviously people have different knowledge levels of subjects. So to me, there’s really no stupid question in a classroom. However, there are plenty

A Pbbbbbbbbbt! Moment

So we’re hiring for a part-time position at work. And let me tell you, there have been some doozies for resumes. But today, I received this one (via email, of course) today that made me laugh just a little bit harder:

Hi, Mr. Willis. Last week, I e-mailed to you a cover letter and my resume in application for the opening for an interpreter at the —— —– ——–. I never trust e-mail completely. Will you please confirm that you received my materials? Thank you. Yeah, I can never trust email completely either. That’s why I make sure to send another email. Because email

Sweet!

Look below this post! Our first “negative” comment! (At least I think it’s supposed to be.) We’re finally striking a chord with some of you. That’s what we want to see: Give us some emotion! How do you feel about all the important shit that this website’s all about? If you disagree with what we have to say, tell us why! (And if you want US to give a shit about what YOU say, try to actually support your feelings with a reason or two instead of just writing some lame-ass short comment). But really, we ARE excited!! Thanks Interwebs!
