Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Yup-Mens' Gartens...The tool department at Sears, Home Depot, True Value Hardware-the list goes on and on. What's wrong with German men, they don't normally like tools and stuff like that? Who does the improvements at their house-the french? What wimps-I wouldn't waste my time with a man who can't use a hammer, drill, screwdriver, saw, etc at least as well as I can.

Put another candle on my birthday cake,
My birthday cake,
My birthday cake;
Put another candle on my birthday cake.
I'm another year old today.

I'm going to have a party with my birthday cake,
My birthday cake,
My birthday cake;
Put another candle on my birthday cake.
I'm another year old today.

We'll have some pie and sandwiches
And chocolate ice cream, too.
We'll sing and play the day away;
There's one more thing I'm going to do.

I'll blow out the candles on my birthday cake
And when I do
A wish I'll make;
Put another candle on my birthday cake.
I'm another year old today.

"Happy birthday to you!"
I'm another year old today.

WE LOVE YOU, MISS RIKA!

I understand Chuckie Schumer once got an enema, and was invisible for 3 days.

No sh**?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS RIKA-SAN

I always knew Shumer was totally full of s**t. But then that could be said of most of his ilk....

Happy Anniversary of your birth to you.

A preacher down here in Alabama was preaching a funeral, and started dissing the deceased for being a hellbound sinner. The family charged the pulpit and whupped up on him. Then they followed him and his wife home and beat 'em both up pretty good. Guess the preacher's momma never taught him that if you can't say something nice about someone, don't say nothin at all.

[xsmommy]

dang suspicious, you two showing up at the same time. whatcha been doin'??

[Laura Earl]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!

[Laura Earl]

Catching up on work stuff here. By the way, Lancome's 40 SFP sunscreen is EXCELLENT! Nary a sunburn here, just a healthy glow...and I had no sun before this weekend. Wanted alabaster shoulders for Flurrette's wedding, then had to take megadoses of antibiotics during the wisdom teeth episode.

[MeekOneGOP]

Oh ! Well, Happy Birthday Miss Rika !! ...
