Me too Amy... I miss both President and Laura Bush!! The clowns in the office now have degraded it so bad that we will need to clear out and fumagate before anyone will be able to live there!!
Thank you THANK YOU for such a gorgeous arrangement of flowers! I will be sure to put them on the table for the family to enjoy along with me tonight!!! *wink*

Number One Idiot of 2008.
I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control center.
Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down and at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter into the emergency room right away..
Number Two Idiot of 2008.
Early this year, some Boeing employees on the airfield decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in getting it out of the plane and home.
Shortly after they took it for a float on the river, they noticed a Westpac Rescue Helicopter coming towards them..
It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the emergency locator beacon that activated when the raft was inflated.. They are no longer employed at Boeing.
Number Three Idiot of 2008.
A man, wanting to rob a Bank of Queensland, walked into the Branch and wrote ‘Put all your muny in this bag.’
While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller’s window.. So he left the Bank and crossed the street to the NAB Bank. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the teller She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn’t the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of Queensland deposit slip and that he would either, have to fill out a NAB deposit slip or go back to Bank of Queensland. Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, ‘OK’ and left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at the Bank of Queensland. Happened in Noosa!
Number Four Idiot of 2008.
A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all of the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of Scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but the cashier refused and said, ‘Because I don’t believe you are over 21.’ The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because she didn’t believe him... At this point, the robber took his driver’s license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk. The clerk looked it over and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and she put the Scotch in the bag... The robber then ran from the store with his loot...
The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that she got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.
Number Five Idiot of 2008
A pair of robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers.. The first one shouted, ‘Nobody move!’ When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.
Number Six Idiot of 2008.
Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly.. He decided that he’d just throw a brick through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the brick and heaved it over his head at the window. The brick bounced back knocking him unconscious. It seems the liquor store window was made of Flexi-Glass... The whole event was caught on videotape.. Perth WA.
Number Seven IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE:
My daughter went to a local McDonald’s and ordered a burger... She asked the person behind the counter for ‘minimal lettuce.’ He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg. Happened in Surfers Paradise !!!
Number Eight IDIOT SIGHTING:
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, ‘’Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?? To which I replied, ‘If it was without my knowledge, how would I know??’ He smiled knowingly and nodded, ‘That’s why we ask.’ Happened in Melbourne.
Number Nine JUST AN IDIOT :
When my husband and I arrived at a car dealers to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it...
We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the drivers side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.
‘Hey,’ I announced to the technician, ‘its open!’
His reply, ‘I know - I already got that side.’
This was at the FORD dealership Dubbo.
“California has a petition circulating to return our state legislature to a part time position.”
I like this idea! Seriously!
“Even talking about eliminating one of the branches.”
Even better!
“I wonder how we could do the same thing at the National level.”
We IMPOSE it by forcing those we elect to either support the idea or not get the job!
“They need to be forced to get a real job instead of expecting us to pay a salary and benefits while they party and live high on the hog.”
The professional political animal doesn’t need perks, they need to live with the laws they pass! Like having the political types HAVE TO USE THE SAME MEDICAL PLAN they want to give us!
Aw! Cute bear Meg! Thanks for answering my desperate plea for attention today! Hee Hee.
Well yorkie, I’m back from the dentist. I was surprised to find out I needed 2 crowns done today. The one they planned on working on was not the one that was hurting me. We reviewed things, and decided to do 2 at the same time since they were molars that are next to eachother. The idea of that freaked me out at first. Then they said the one shot would numb both areas and save me a future shot. Then they said it only takes a few minutes longer to grind the second tooth.
Surprisingly, to a dental chicken like me, having 2 done at once really was only 10 minutes longer than having one done. It was also 100 dollars cheaper to do it that way. I have a great dentist, and his assisstant is very efficient. The shot wasn’t even that bad. It’s the anticipation that gets me. It’s just good to have it over with. I’ve had 4 crowns done since September. I’m ready to say “uncle” now! TCP
Dear Snugs/Eleanor
Two more included me (blush)... but all these are meant and belong to You Eleanor/Snugs...You were pinged to the ones from Pollywog & Amy for You... but I forget the # of Yorkie’s for You...Don’t quote me but I’m thikin’ # 518...
Be back to reply. :)(After Eleanor/Snugs sees ‘em/gets her replies in.
OMG, you are SOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo brave!!!!!!!!!!!
(And all on your FR Anniversary!!!) Way to GO, gurl! I’m proud of ya!
Hey you know what I do to ease my fear at the dentist? I admit my fear. They say “How ya doing?” and instead of the stock answer “fine thanks” I admit I’m a nervous wreck. One time recently, at my first crown appt, I replied “Well to be honest I’m scared to death, got any Whiskey?” and we all laughed.
This is a new dentist for me. My old one retired last spring. Evidently Old Dentist didn’t like to do anything but fillings. The Dental assistant told me today that all the patients coming to them, from my retired dentist, have the same trouble as me, really old fillings, or fillings that should have been crowns instead. Thus, I get 4 crowns in so little time.
I pray during the stressful time in the chair, in my scared head I’m praying away. I do the “I can do all things through God” one and ask Jesus to comfort me. Today I prayed in my head for those at Fort Hood. The tricky part on that was to not cry while praying for them, or the dentist would have thought he made me cry.
Oh yeah, I’m a basket case inside when I’m in “the chair”. I told them today that if they ever say “root canal” to me, I’m running down the street to get away from them. I love to make them laugh. Anyone really. I joke with everyone. Works on the husband too. He’s a tough audience though. He’s used to me. Poor guy (snort!). TCP
Oops, make that @ 540...You can quote me on that # :)
Now back to my regularly scheduled ping catch up,Later/another day.
