Thank you for the presentation of art from the Middle Ages, Cardi. After a little research, I found out that a print of St. Francis of Assisi (painted in 1270) in my entry was painted more than 200 years before Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. (Need to learn something new every day...)

If we learn something new every day then we are just that much smarter.

Hi Dolly! I’ll try to stop in when I can more often, I need to be lifted up. Thank you for the encouragement. I hope you find time to peek out from the covers of life. : )

I have Java. I was able to open YouTube just now and play a fantastic vid, but now it won’t do a replay. I saw another FReeper just now having probs with utube... so, the site may be acting up a bit. If it has worked for you before, try later.

Thanks, ‘Dita! I’ll try later - I’m glad you told me, because I was getting ready to reboot and then go into tools and mess around with the advance set-up. (And knowing me, and how inept I am with the computer, I would have really messed things up.)

The video was funny! They’re a little before my time, and my tv watching ran mostly to 3 stooges and bugs bunny.

A coworker of mine is almost that funny. We had a hilarios discussion the other day—she’s always mixing up words. I said something about saffron, and that it came from crocuses. She said—saccharine, isn’t that an artificial sweetener? I didn’t know it came from flowers.

She cracks me up!

Before that she asked someone if the little pickles were called gherkins or jerkins, made an appropriate hand movemnet to illustrate her point of jerking them off the vine, concluded by asking— You jerk them off, right?
One of the old loafers was sitting in the store. I thought he was going to fall out of his chair. And, yes, she is blond. I love her dearly, but boy does my face stay red when she’s around! It’s like a train wreck—you can see it happening but you’re helpless to prevent it.

Yorkie, watch for Jaycee to come back online, I will too; and we can ask her what her son did that restored her ability to view YouTubes.

Why isn’t it in Breaking News?!:-)
I found an AP story and this one so far: http://www.kansascity.com/baseball/story/679431.html

Amy, I caught a little bit of this game this afternoon when I was in a restaurant that showed ESPN. Fresno was up 3-0 in the 4th inning; then a Georgia player hit a triple. I got worried. Glad to see the news.

You’re with Marissa at her swim lesson right now; can’t wait ‘til ya get back.

How nice. You have built-in entertainment on the job, LOL.
Never a dull moment, huh?
Actually, Bugs Bunny and the 3 Stooges go back quite a ways.

Norm Crosby is a scream, the king of malapropisms.

That’s the exact date Munsey gave me without any explanation. I figured he was being a smart-ass. Thanks for clearing that up. BTW for the record I will say Arizona’s monsoon has NOT begun. :^)

I missed the game tonight. I heard the score at 3 - 0 and then again at 6 - 0 and then the final at 6 - 1.

There has been an electrical excitement in the air here since Monday. It has seemed that they were destined to win.

By the time we started home, the game was over so we listened to the post game.

What an exciting team to watch. I’m going to try to catch a couple of highlights on Sports Center.

Sure wish I could make it to the parade and the welcome home party tomorrow. I’m going to ask my son to tape it for me.

Man of man ...... what a Cinderella story.

Thank you all for rooting for Fresno’s Incredibulldogs.

Life is Great!!!
