"I tried to get a Blue Thingy one but they were all sold out. Comes with the straw and slice of lemon and lights up so pretty."

Sounds perfect.

"Jess just came downstairs wearing her pajama's, a hat and carrying her pocketbook"

LOL! Maybe she's just imitating the official FReeping uniform.

Hey, SL. I'll be happy to pick up some Macadamias for you. They have packages of raw pieces just for baking. FRmail your new address to me if you want me to get some for you.

Trader Joe's is specialty grocery-type store. They carry a lot of the usual stuff like milk, bread, eggs, other dairy products, produce. Their selection is more limited than you'd see in a major supermarket, but their prices for everyday items can't be beat. They also have a lot of their own line of unique items under their label - interesting teas, snack items, toiletry items, vitamins and other supplements, cut flowers, potted plants like orchids, frozen foods and such. They carry a lot of unique and delicious itmes. There are an awful lot of Volvos and Mercedes in the parking lot - I pull up in my 1998 Chrysler Sebring and park next to the most expensive car I can find!

A few months ago I saw a family that was using their own recycled bags, and had a cart full everything organic possible. Then they proceeded to load their purchases into the back of a huge, brand new SUV. When I saw them, I was guessing I'd see them driving a 20-year old Volvo station wagon.

Been working on your technique, Nully? Aren't the neighbors complaining about the noise. I mean, they might think you have a gun or something.

"Then they proceeded to load their purchases into the back of a huge, brand new SUV. When I saw them, I was guessing I'd see them driving a 20-year old Volvo station wagon."

You gotta chuckle at the liberals' oblivion to their own hypocrisy.

FReepmail on the way.

Thread killer. LOL

Is that the hole in your basement?

"Is that the hole in your basement?"

Laser scam' gamblers to keep £1m

A group of gamblers who won more than £1m at the Ritz Casino in London by using laser technology have been told by police they can keep their winnings.

The trio - a Hungarian woman and two Serbian men - were arrested in March but police have apparently decided that they did not break the law.

A laser scanner linked to a computer was allegedly used to gauge numbers likely to come up on the roulette wheel.

But police said the case had now been closed, with no charges brought.

The gamblers managed to earn £1.3m in winnings thanks to the alleged "sting".

On the first night they won £100,000 and on the second took home another £1.2 m, the Sunday Times reported.

Funds frozen

They allegedly used the scanner to judge the speed of the ball on the roulette wheel and hence the number most likely to come up.

The paper reports the gamblers were able to do the calculations swiftly enough to place their bets as required before the roulette wheel has gone round three times.

The three were arrested after the casino launched inquiries and initially their funds were frozen.

The newspaper said casinos throughout the country were examining security as a result of the case.

A spokeswoman for the Ritz Casino said they had "no comment" to make on the case.

Satan's rise to power becomes more evident every day, and at no time more obvious than at Christmas.

NATIVITY SCENES VANDALIZED NATIONWIDE

I guess coming back to this late in the evening is my punishment for being out for most of the day.













So... who has the giant butterfly net, and who has the tickle torture feather?

[sweetliberty]

You're about a day behind. I've been good today. I went to church this morning and have spent the rest of the day (mostly) trying to clean house, or the worst of it, because I won't get much more of a chance before I have to get Dawn and Tyler next Saturday. I got the tree up, although I will probably wait for the kids to get here to decorate it, got the laundry done and a little FReeping. Very little. And no blue thingies today.

[Darksheare]

OKers.
I was off on a quest, and recently got back after slaying the evil Christmas Decorations and vanquishing the nigh invincible immitation pine tree.

[sweetliberty]

I am pondering whether to continue to work on the house, knowing full well that anything that gets done after tonight will likely be done half*ssed. I suppose I could work and FReep intermittently.

From another thread:

Accounts of actual exchanges between airline pilots and control towers around the world.

---

Tower: "Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!"

Delta 351: "Give us another hint! We have digital watches!"

---

"TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 Degrees."

"Centre, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?"

"Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?"

---

---

From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long takeoff queue: "I'm f... ing bored!"

Ground Traffic Control: "Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself immediately!"

Unknown aircraft: "I said I was f... ing bored, not f... ing stupid!"

---

O'Hare Approach Control to a 747: "United 329 heavy, your traffic is a Fokker, one o'clock, three miles, Eastbound."

United 329: "Approach, I've always wanted to say this... I've got the little Fokker in sight."

A student became lost during a solo cross-country flight.

While attempting to locate the aircraft on radar, ATC asked, "What was your last known position?"

Student: "When I was number one for takeoff."

---

A DC-10 had come in a little hot and thus had an exceedingly long roll out after touching down.

San Jose Tower Noted: "American 751, make a hard right turn at the end of the runway, if you are able. If you are not able, take the Guadeloupe exit off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return to the airport."

---

There's a story about the military pilot calling for a priority landing because his single-engine jet fighter was running "a bit peaked."

Air Traffic Control told the fighter jock that he was number two, behind a B-52 that had one engine shut down.

"Ah," the fighter pilot remarked, "The dreaded seven-engine approach."

---

Taxiing down the tarmac, a DC-10 abruptly stopped, turned around and returned to the gate. After an hour-long wait, it finally took off.

A concerned passenger asked the flight attendant, "What, exactly, was the problem?"

"The pilot was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine," explained the flight attendant. "It took us a while to find a new pilot."

A Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the following:

Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"

Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."

Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in

Germany. Why must I speak English?"

Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war."

---

Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on frequency 124.7"

Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure. By the way, after we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway."

Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff behind Eastern 702, contact

Departure on frequency 124.7. Did you copy that report from Eastern 702?"

Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, roger; and yes, we copied Eastern... we've already notified our caterers."

---

One day the pilot of a Cherokee 180 was told by the tower to hold short of the active runway while a DC-8 landed. The DC-8 landed, rolled out, turned around, and taxied back past the Cherokee.

Some quick-witted comedian in the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said, "What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?"

The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with a real zinger: "I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours and I'll have enough parts for another one."

The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them.

So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign Speedbird 206.

Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway."

Ground: "Speedbird 206 Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven."

The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.

Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"

Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."

Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?"

Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- And I didn't land."

While taxiing at London's Gatwick Airport, the crew of a US Air flight departing for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727.

An irate female ground controller lashed out at the US Air crew, screaming:

"US Air 2771, where the hell are you going?! I told you to turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned right on Delta! Stop right there. I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between C and D, but get it right!"

Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically: "God! Now you've screwed everything up! It'll take forever to sort this out! You stay right there and don't move till I tell you to! You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about half an hour, and I want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you! You got that, US Air 2771?"

"Yes, ma'am," the humbled crew responded.

Naturally, the ground control communications frequency fell terribly silent after the verbal bashing of US Air 2771. Nobody wanted to chance engaging the irate ground controller in her current state of mind. Tension in every cockpit out around Gatwick was definitely running high.

Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone,

asking: "Wasn't I married to you once?"

[Darksheare]

LOL!!!
