Can you recommend a good shark repellant

Why would you want to repel sharks? They're delicious! I've taken a few with a speargun off Okinawa and the NC coast...Okay...maybe not the brightest idea... but mmmm mmmmm...shark steak on the grill!

Cute...

Glad the birthday party went well, and thanks for sharing Matthew's card. I liked it!

Get a load of this ad I saw on Weather Underground. One of those "Find a date" sites or something...

Can you image this guy being your soulmate? Yeeck!

At first I thought they were siamese twins joined at the neck.

The second nicest is saying I'm funny.

My son Jake thinks I'm crazy...and he says so...but he told me I was his best friend this weekend...cuz I made him swords and I sword fight with him...

She surprised me with her amazingly honest growl "No."

My mom didn't have a very good sense of humor either...course...I may have had somethin' to do with that...she was a lousy cook too... My Gma Grace (her mom), on the other hand, was a hoot and an awesome cook... (I got her cooking skills...)

I think you're a funny mom! - Does that cover both bases?

I am back from the dentist and I have someone else's face. All numbed up. Second filling of my entire life. Last one was 10 years ago when I was 25. I made it to 25 without a cavity and when got one I was inconsolable. This time it was no big deal I guess.. I am already spoilt goods.

Fine. Filet it and grill it and I'm there.

It's just part of my paranoia. I know how slim the chances really are. The beach we visit is at the exact mid-point between the Outer Banks and Virginia Beach locations for those two fatalities last year. But we know all the safety "rules."

Funny thing is, there were fewer attacks than normal last year, but they got the media attention. Last year it was shark attacks. This year it's child abductions. The numbers don't go up...except for the news show ratings...

Apparently, I got my sense of humor (and much of my physical appearance) from my paternal grandmother who died of breast cancer shortly before I was born. My dad says I'm just like her.

She couldn't be bothered with stop signs and would drive right across people's yards to avoid one!

She was jovial and fancy-free and even slightly pudgy.

Looks like one of those Lothlorien elves.

"Yeeck!" That's Elvish for Orc, right?

Second filling of my entire life.

Wow, that's pretty good. I have a mouth full of dental work, and now that I'm in my 40s the old fillings are wearing out...

It's not all my fault, my childhood dentist was the Steve Martin character from Little Shop of Horrors. You know, a nine year old afraid of the drill and he's basically saying "shut up and take it."

My dentist now is great. If I so much as blink my eyes, he'll stop and ask if I'm okay. He's really into no pain dentistry.

I have a mouthful of fillings. My problem is I hate to floss. I brush frequently, and only floss after I eat popcorn or steak or something. Otherwise, I tend to blow it off.

One time I went to the dentist and he numbed me up good. Afterwards, I went to Albertsons and bought some of their warm baked bread (they put it out hot at 4pm) and started snacking on it on the way home. I put a rather large piece in my mouth and it disappeared! I looked all over the floor and everything, thinking I'd dropped it. Then I gave up and stuffed another large piece in, only to find my entire mouth completely crammed with bread! LOL I was so numb I couldn't feel the first piece.

I thought about you when I was watching some Shark Attack program on Discovery last night. Stay out of the water.

It's almost like the term paper was written by G'nad Threadkiller...

Naw...not enough focus on the violence or profane references...

You did a good job...I can see your argument, but it was a stretch, IMHO... can't argue with an A...I'd say you earned it...(and I know beyond a doubt that I've received a few mercy grades...)

Just this weekend I was reading the Marine Gazette, a collection of profesional essays written by Marine Officers on matters pertinent to the Corps...I wrote a paper seven years ago at ILS that laid out the requirements for a new Joint Tactical radio...I was calling for capabilities that we needed then and now...I was ridiculed by the school staff...this month's issue has and article on the new Joint Tactical Radio that is being fielded, and this system looks like it has been developed from my recommendations (I'm sure it wasn't but at least I know I wasn't stoopid or crazy)...I feel vindicated, but since my paper was never published, I can't really say nuthin...
