I ordered your book. :-)

[NicknamedBob]

Thank You!!!

Please contact me when you receive it, if you would. I'd like to know how long the ordering process takes.

It just became available today!

One might say ... HOT off the presses!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Yes they do. I've been gone all day. My dad had to get a pacemaker today. So I got to hang out with sick people all day. Dad is fine and I hate hospitals.

I should have pointed out that today is also Joke Day:


Kerry was going to visit the Catholic National Cathedral outside Washington as part of his campaign. Kerry's campaign manager made a visit to the Cardinal and said to him, "We've been getting a lot of bad publicity among Catholics because of Kerry's position on abortion and the like. We'd gladly make a contribution to the church of $100,000 if during your sermon you'd say John Kerry is a saint."

The Cardinal thinks it over for a moment and agrees to do it. Kerry shows up, and as the Mass progresses the Cardinal begins his homily. "John Kerry is petty, a self absorbed hypocrite and a nit-wit. He is a liar, a cheat, and a thief. He is the worst example of a Catholic I've ever personally known. But compared to Ted Kennedy, John Kerry is a saint."

[OESY]

And combining Joke Day with Roller Coaster Day, we have:

On the Roller Coaster - My Most Awful Moment!!
A story of horror and hideous embarrassment--submitted by Allison:

Well, my friends and I went to this theme park and I didn't think that I was going to ride any of the roller coasters, but my friends forced me to. Of course, being the blonde I am, I wore a skirt and tank top.

So I get on this ride and I'm sitting next to this 14 or 15 year old kid (I'm 18) and we start the ride. So anyway, the ride is going pretty well until we go over this hill and suddenly my skirt just flaps up and I'm too scared to let go of the bars. So this kid is getting an eye full of my panties, but it gets worse. The ride has one loop and that's when it takes the picture.

The ride goes through the loop and not only my skirt rides up but my tank top! So now he can see my panties and a very showy bra and we hit a turn and, possibly on purpose, he falls onto me, his face in my boobs. We got off and I saw my picture, me in panties and my bra. I will never ride a roller coaster again.

Happy Roller Coaster Day!

I'm moved into my new apartment. I'll just be spending the next several days (or possibly several weeks) arranging stuff. Now I just have to find my sheets so I can at least sleep on my bed tonight...

[Alberta's Child]

LOL. Some great quotes there, Victoria.

Here's one of my favorite "man" quotes -- from a very interesting character in the music world who passed away recently:

"It's hard to find a girl with a heart of gold when you're living in a four-letter world." --- Warren Zevon

[JustAmy]

How has summer been treating you?

[Terabitten]

To quote that great poet of our time, Janis Joplin...

Summertime,
Child, you’re living easy.
Fish are, fish are jumping out
And the cotton, lord,
Cotton’s high, lord, so high.

Your daddy’s rich,
When your ma, oh honey thinks she’s mighty good-looking, babe.
I said she’s looking pretty fine to me right now,
Don’t you know she is
Whoa, hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
No, no, no, no, no, don’t you cry
Oh honey you’d better not cry
’cause they’re gonna kick you up when you want to do nothing,
Take it from me!
Cry

Whoa, one of these mornings,
Child, you’ll rise up singing, baby, oh
I said you’re gonna wanna go, honey, spread your wings,
Yeah, child, you take, take to the sky,
Lord, the sky

Until that morning,
Honey, no-no-no-nothing’s going to harm you, babe,
I said honey nothing’s ever gonna let you down,
’cause I just wouldn’t let them do it, no, no, no, no, no,
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
No, no, no, no, no,
Don’t you cry, oh no,
Cry

Great to hear it, Tulip. You must be tired.

Have a more relaxing day tomorrow, hehe.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Oh gosh! Well, what does he expect? LOL

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hiya Amy! Thanks for the tune. I'm enjoying my last days of summer, and I get very little time to post. :-(

Hope you're doing OK?

[JustAmy]

Happy Roller Coaster Day!!
Happy Joke Day!

Looks like I'm running a little slow today. :)

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks TS! Nice one. :-)

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL - too funny.

[Alberta's Child]

LOL. For some reason I always thought that was a classic quote.

[Victoria Delsoul]

It is I guess.

[JustAmy]

As good an excuse as any other she could have thought of. :)

Thanks, OESY
