Glad to see you here, Amy. I'll be here when I can, I still haven't found the dumpster C.G. keeps telling me about...

Louie's illustrations are very cute. Thank you Louie!

[JustAmy]

Happy Wednesday, Meekie!!
It's going to stay warm for a few more days.
We may not get the cooling that we expected for this weekend. :(

Have a great day!!

You can recognize St.Louie gifts; he always puts my name on them. :)

I love all of them.

Howdy! :^D

I kinda put myself on 'timeout' over there.

You have a great day, too.

"Pardon me" please, but bring your silly stuff over here! Just "do it" (without the "nose hair")!

; )

Thanks.

We're in for the mid-80's through the weekend I think. It was 63 this morning.
Going for 58 tomorrow morning.

"Nose Hair Maintenance Day" (shades of Emily Latella?)

Did someone say shades of Emily Latella?

Wouldn't you love to hear what Emily Latella would have to say about President Bush's threatened invasion of Iraq?

Emily, you may recall, was the sweet old lady played by the late comic artist Gilda Radner on "Saturday Night Live." Her character would show up on "Weekend Update" news segments to offer passionate, deeply held opinions that were completely misinformed.

"What's all this talk about going to war over weapons of bass destruction?!?" she would demand, squinting into the camera with glasses half-way down her nose.

"We kill plenty of poor defenseless little fishes in this country, and nobody goes around invading us! If that nice Mr. Hussein thinks his people need a new way to catch bass or trout or even sunfish, that's no reason to send our soldiers over there. It's just terrible! How can anyone -- " at which point the news anchor, played by Jane Curtin or Chevy Chase, would interrupt.

"Excuse me, Miss Latella. That's weapons of 'mass' destruction."

Emily would take a moment for the correction to sink in. Then she'd smile into the camera and say:

"Oh. Well. That's entirely different. Never mind."

- Even Miss Latella would know to leave the subject alone, eh?

Pardon me,

Emily Latella, IT Manager (Fort Crook City, Nebraska) "We hired Open Sores Software for a Web project, and we were very pleased with the results. Unlike other projects, this one was painless. For some reason, I can really relate to the folks at OSSD. And the free beer is a very nice touch."

Nostrildamus predicted this: Pesky, long, curly proboscis hairs are popping out all over, but --



Be glad your nose is on your face,
not pasted on some other place,
for if it were where it is not,
you might dislike your nose a lot.

Imagine if your precious nose
were sandwiched in between your toes,
that clearly would not be a treat,
for you'd be forced to smell your feet.

Your nose would be a source of dread
were it attached atop your head,
it soon would drive you to despair,
forever tickled by your hair.

Within your ear, your nose would be
an absolute catastrophe,
for when you were obliged to sneeze,
your brain would rattle from the breeze.

Your nose, instead, through thick and thin,
remains between your eyes and chin,
not pasted on some other place--
be glad your nose is on your face!

BTW, I loved your find of some elusive Emily Latella stories.
