In truth she was investigating for the same reasons as the Doctor, Rose Tyler and Mickey Smith - UFO sightings three months previously.</span><br /><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some years before she had travelled with the Doctor, eventually leaving him abruptly when he had been summoned back to his home planet. He later left her a gift of K-9 Mark III, but that had not been enough for Sarah, who had found it difficult to go back to normal life without him. After initial hostility between her and Rose, the two became friends, although Sarah tried to warn Rose of the dangers of believing that she would travel with the Doctor forever (School Reunion).</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the alternative world where Donna Noble had never met the Doctor, Sarah Jane, along with her adopted son Luke and his friends Maria and Clyde went to the moon in the Royal Hope Hospital to face the Judoon and all four of them died (Turn Left).</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0c6E6tygwdVfB2vH5wRpseNrjq09gzn1T1pcbOotpGyeawX5vmYiPEgW5KbxxYqI5OHodo9j7b3KIZDkjA2DGoj0lPmBdARL1mXX5H2kzsYiSQbpE6cO3PrYsrA9c8pnuFjBtHTUawio/s1600/sj1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0c6E6tygwdVfB2vH5wRpseNrjq09gzn1T1pcbOotpGyeawX5vmYiPEgW5KbxxYqI5OHodo9j7b3KIZDkjA2DGoj0lPmBdARL1mXX5H2kzsYiSQbpE6cO3PrYsrA9c8pnuFjBtHTUawio/s640/sj1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When the Daleks invaded Earth to take people away for their Reality Bomb experiments, Sarah left Luke with Mr Smith and K-9 while she, Jackie Tyler and Mickey Smith were transported to the Crucible. There she met Captain Jack, Martha Jones and Donna Noble and was reunited with the Doctor and Rose. Another shock was in store when she met up again with the Daleks creator Davros, who thought it was ironic that they had met both at the beginning and the culmination of his campaigns. After the Daleks and Davros were defeated, Sarah went home to Luke (The Stolen Earth / Journey's End.)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Alerted by Luke one afternoon, Sarah saw the Doctor on Bannerman Road and realised he had come to say goodbye because he was going to regenerate soon (The End Of Time Part II).</span></div><div><br /></div>

A Vacation Sounds Like a Brilliant Idea!

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal">Hola y’all! Yesterday Matt-Man told everyone about his <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2013/10/im-going-to-be-on-vacation.html" target="_blank">bigvacation plans this Saturday</a>. Well, let me to you what folks! I’m going on vacation too! Hell yes! My vacation is gonna be a little different from Matt’s though. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">I don’t have any big plans to grab a hot babe like Schmoop and have a decadent breakfast buffet. I don’t have any plans to just kick back and drink beer and watch football all day either. Wait, I might do that. We’ll see. I don’t plan on going out of town, getting a room at a fancy hotel, ordering room service and then making it <strike>rain</strike> sprinkle on a single mama down at the <strike>strip</strike> gentlemen’s club. Although that does sound like a nice evening out, amirite? I’m not doing any of that stuff. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiTe3ZjzkFPJgZyNo4Qe889vfQmUv-vB5BQ2O6UI2kH1tKsO5wj0owZgZX8MSj0d7h1qiK6-xPBTbdx6rYWJp4M0rspuZVZP_ortzFVAfMAm5dV4VaQSuZzb6NQMtIksDWL9si8Dqn7afK/s1600/Tila+Tequila+Nude+Stripper+Hot+Asian+Chick.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiTe3ZjzkFPJgZyNo4Qe889vfQmUv-vB5BQ2O6UI2kH1tKsO5wj0owZgZX8MSj0d7h1qiK6-xPBTbdx6rYWJp4M0rspuZVZP_ortzFVAfMAm5dV4VaQSuZzb6NQMtIksDWL9si8Dqn7afK/s400/Tila+Tequila+Nude+Stripper+Hot+Asian+Chick.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">I’m taking a vacation from reality for 48 hours. </span></i></b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Damn right! At the very moment that this blog post goes live, I will be deleting the “News and Politics” list on my Twitter and ignoring everything that is going on. I won’t turn on the news or the cable news channels either. I won’t even listen to ANY podcasts just in case someone on one of them mentions reality. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">I’m not going to check any of the news or political websites either. Nor will I turn on the radio. Not even sports radio because those bastards always love to sneak in political shit. I’m not going to watch, read or listen to anything that might piss me off or make me sad. This includes assholes on social media. Anyone tweets or posts something to Facebook that is stupid or pisses me off gets unfollowed, defriended or put on mute for the remainder of my vacation. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">What am I going to do with my free time you ask? Well, I’m going to watch YouTube videos, read and watch “Breaking Bad” or something on Netflix. If I happen upon some news or political shit by accident, I will offset it by kitten and puppy videos and pictures. That’s the only antidote out there. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhue0jOpIQsX0LkXnkYVHhZGdYvmljT1L1slhKEyfgiA3gZUEvKc806jjgoU1bzpY3N03011gX4fmZRusyTQi4de924G3ZACUSQBAnuVAV0pMzSGlw-a36ZL-U_sCW9TDr_0AI9uhbCWEol/s1600/dog+and+kitten+sleeping.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhue0jOpIQsX0LkXnkYVHhZGdYvmljT1L1slhKEyfgiA3gZUEvKc806jjgoU1bzpY3N03011gX4fmZRusyTQi4de924G3ZACUSQBAnuVAV0pMzSGlw-a36ZL-U_sCW9TDr_0AI9uhbCWEol/s400/dog+and+kitten+sleeping.jpg" width="382" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">Hell if worse comes to worse I’ll even watch some playoff baseball. JUST KIDDING! Baseball sucks. I’m sure I’ll find plenty of things to keep me distracted from all the terrible news happening all over the world. In fact, I highly recommend that everyone take a 48 vacation from reality too. I’m sure you’ll love it. And, if YOU are on vacation too, you’re much less likely to say or do something that pisses me off. See how great this works? <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Now that I think about it, some fast food might be in order during my vacation. I might have to run through McDonalds and get a number six with no onions. Oh wait, they changed their menu so I don’t know which number is for the double cheeseburger anymore. This is a perfect time to find out! Or maybe I’ll try out those new Satisfries at Burger King! No, I better not. Nothing would suck more than being on vacation and trying some new-fangled french fries and hate them so strike that off the list. Maybe I’ll just have me a few beers too. A few Coors Lights would definitely help me get away from reality for a couple of nights.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">As I mentioned earlier referencing Matt’s vacation of watching football, I might do that too. Since we’re doing the show on Saturday instead of Sunday, I might take a second vacation from reality on Sunday. I might just sleep late, have a frozen pizza for lunch and then drink beer and watch NFL all afternoon and completely and total ignore the entire rest of the world for the whole day.  Oh damn! That sounds brilliant. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfeoUG6o5juvEKzfyjFKcvdK7LyY24Plin3ANVVxmLYKo5BZe0XEyrHR-o-lLo43183b7N8XWz1JQmLSEyw52Jx7aZk376U-OezFQtOz7emTdB1RYgmlwsLDsFmGzCEtVpQzCNUThoAf__/s1600/Zooey+Deschanel+Hot+Sexy+Hot+Dog+Hat.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfeoUG6o5juvEKzfyjFKcvdK7LyY24Plin3ANVVxmLYKo5BZe0XEyrHR-o-lLo43183b7N8XWz1JQmLSEyw52Jx7aZk376U-OezFQtOz7emTdB1RYgmlwsLDsFmGzCEtVpQzCNUThoAf__/s640/Zooey+Deschanel+Hot+Sexy+Hot+Dog+Hat.JPG" width="433" /></a></div><o:p><br /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">I’m totally taking TWO vacations this week! <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="mailto:Jayman3768@gmail.com">Jayman3768@gmail.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/jayman68" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/jayman_iws" target="_blank">@Jayman_IWS </a><o:p></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div></div>
