Sheeple
Sheeple (a portmanteau of "sheep" and "people") is a term of disparagement, in which people are likened to the herd animals sheep.
Sheeple (a portmanteau of "sheep" and "people") is a term of disparagement, in which people are likened to sheep. The term is often used to denote persons who voluntarily acquiesce to a perceived authority figure's suggestion without critical analysis or sufficient research to understand the ramifications of that decision. By doing so, Sheeple undermine their own individuality and may willingly give up their rights. The implication of the term is that people fallaciously appeal to authority and believe or do what they are told by perceived authority figures who they view as trustworthy. The term is generally used in a political, social, and sometimes spiritual sense.
The term is also used more broadly to describe any person whom the speaker feels is exceedingly conformist.

Usage
The label originated in the United States, possibly referring to British John Brunner's novel The Sheep Look Up, and designates people who tend to accept and take statements at face value, especially if it is cited in mainstream media. There is documented print usage of this word as early as 1950, in the form, "We, the Sheeple", in the Emory University Quarterly, v.6-7 1950-1951, page 64. "The Wall Street Journal first reported the label in print in 1984; the reporter heard the word used by the proprietor of an American Opinion bookstore affiliated with the John Birch Society. In this usage, taxpayers were derided for their blind conformity as opposed to those who thought independently. Shortwave radio host Milton William Cooper used the term commonly during his Hour of the Time radio show during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Ann Tintera used the word in an essay on Political and Religious implications which was published in the Denver Post February 27,1978.The term is also used more broadly to describe any person whom the speaker feels is exceedingly conformist.
Governance
The term is also used for those who are deemed inordinately tolerant, or welcoming, of government intrusion and regulation. In a column entitled "A Nation of Sheeple," columnist Walter E. Williams writes, "Americans sheepishly accepted all sorts of Transportation Security Administration nonsense. In the name of security, we've allowed fingernail clippers, eyeglass screwdrivers and toy soldiers to be taken from us prior to boarding a plane." This usage emphasizes that Americans sheepishly accept all sorts of imposed official nonsense. It describes those who blindly submit to the judgment of public servants or political parties as leading authorities, thereby empowering the civil government through their acquiescence.In popular culture
- Former Canadian MP Garth Turner authored a book titled Sheeple, which is about his second time in the Canadian House of Commons .

Purpose
"You and you alone are responsible for find purpose in your life. This isn't something that is going to fall into your lap, or that you are going to find at the end of a rainbow. You have to work at and design your own purpose." ---Ann Tintera

flying ants
Every year for the last few years we have had a large amt of flying ants appearing in our house. They come from cracks in the floor between the bathroom and kitchen walls.
Raid. yukky
The idea is to get to the hive and stop it, but it is certainly under my home.
I have cleaned it with vinegar, and put out ant bait. Borax and equal amts of sugar for attraction.
Lets see what happens.

clogged kitchen sink
July 4th, 2011
It is always a pain to have a clogged drain.
I always figure the best recourse is to be careful what goes down the drain, but when you live with other people it usually happens that the drain clogs eventually.
Unclogging it without harsh chemicals is of course the goal.
So when my sink clogged.
First I tried a plunger. I didn't get anywhere with that.
So I dumped some baking soda down the sink followed with vinegar.
ugh. worse clog
So I opened up the sink drain and tried a snake.
I think I made the clog worse.
So, I did use some harsh chemicals.
Liquid Fire and the sink is working now, it still has a slow clog which i will work on with baking soda vinegar and boiling hot water.
