Thanks but no thanks - if you think I'm clumsy with shoes, you should see me on skates!

Good Evening, Dear Friends.

This is a re-run ... "Life other than FR got in the way again today."

Busy with my brother and my niece.
He found a travel trailer that he wanted but since he is from Idaho,
cashing a check was impossible.
He wrote me a check and I went to my bank to get cash.
Another afternoon of going someplace.

We have also been trying to look at puppies ....
both Marissa and Max are lonesome for Millie.
I've said we do not want another large dog but
hubby keeps looking at shepherd or shepherd mix pups.
Marissa wants a small dog ... MrJust wants a larger dog.
I'm trying to stay out of that decision. LOL

It looks like February will be as hectic as December and January were.
... two dental appts, two surgeries, two pre-op appts and two post-op appts
plus lab tests for both.

I'm going to need a vacation in March! :)

Again, I thank you for helping with OUR Place.

Yes I like that thanks.

The boss was complaining in our staff meeting the other day that he wasn't getting any respect. Later that morning he went to a local card and novelty shop and bought a small sign that read, "I'm the Boss". He then taped it to his office door.

Later that day when he returned from lunch, he found that someone had taped a note to the sign that said. "Your wife called, she wants her sign back!"

George Bush and Barack Obama somehow ended up at the same barber shop.

As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken. The barbers were even afraid to start a Conversation, for fear it would turn to politics.

As the barbers finished their shaves, the one who had Obama in his chair reached for the aftershave. Obama was quick to stop him saying, 'No thanks, my wife Michelle will smell that and think I've been in a whorehouse!'

The second barber turned to Bush and said, 'How about you sir ?' Bush replied, 'Go ahead; my wife doesn't know what the inside of a whorehouse smells like.'

Hi Amy! If you are 'tired and weary', I sure can understand why. They always say "when it rains it pours" and I certainly believe that.

Looking for puppies may put a bright spot in everyone's life. (Now if you can let them decide if it will be a big dog or little dog.) LOL! I think Marissa wants a little one that she can play with better. Whatever they select, it will be loved by all of you. I can't wait to hear what you all decide on. Good luck with this adventure.

By the way, thank you for the sweet comments on the little girl yesterday. Yes, she was beautiful, wasn't she?

Rules of This Household
1. If you are not here for dinner, too bad. This is not a fast-food place where the cook is on duty at all times. The cook works full time and does not need a second job.
2. If you make a mess, clean it up. The dishwasher is open 24 hours a day to service you as are the vacuum, broom, and sponge. Please help them to help you by using them. If you need assistance, ask the cook -- she will be happy to give you training on any of the equipment.
3. The taxi service for this household is not on call 24 hours. You must make reservations at least 12 hours in advance. You have two good legs, skateboards, and bikes that are somewhat operational; one of you has a vehicle that works. Use them. By the way, skateboards are to be used on the outside of this house and are never to be used in the living room just because the landing is softer when you fall.
4. We are not a bank and you have no collateral to offer us. Face it: We own everything you have and I have receipts to prove it, so don't ask us for loans. Get jobs! We have them. Try it and you might like it (not so much the work as the money).
5. Curfew is negotiable, but try not to be late too often because it could go either way.
6. Tell us where you are going. GOOD GRIEF! I am way older than you, and I still tell my mother where I am going when I am at her house. Leave us a note or try to form words describing where you are going while we are in the room with you. Honestly, we don't bite unless provoked.
7. You know how to use a phone. Most of you even have cell phones. We like to hear your voice if you are going to be late. You can use a phone to find out what's for dinner, to let us know you made it to wherever all right, or just to let us hear your beautiful voice.
8. No food in your room, the living room, the bathroom, or anywhere in the house other than the kitchen or dining area EVER! How many times do I have to say this?

9. You do not contribute financially in any way, shape, or form to this household, so try to pull your weight in other ways: Clean something, put something away, surprise us by doing it before we ask. Otherwise, you may find yourself financially supporting yourself on the OUTSIDE of this house.
