Babychick says "You are better than strained peas, ST.LOUIE!!!" Scoobie says Hi, wolfie and thanks for the adorable logo!
I love it, don't you, Billie? Leave it to Wolfie to come up with something so perfect! When I am on the computer, Babychick is constantly trying to hit the keys! lol
Fox was SO bad, NOT covering our participation, and like many, I dashed off a heated email to them.
Of course they needed to cover Katrina, but every 5 minutes when it was not changing in intensity for hours??
And of course they *had* to fill in with more-more-& more about The Aruba story...so much more important than supporting our troops....
/sarcasm
"...COULDS, rather than clouds..."
And *I* didn't even notice!
LOL, indeed...
An atheist was taking a walk through the woods.
What majestic trees!
What powerful rivers!
What beautiful animals!" he said to himself.
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7 foot grizzly charge towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant the atheist cried out: "Oh my God!..."
Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky: "You deny my existence for all of these years, teach others I don't exist, and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"
The atheist looked directly into the light, "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps could you make the BEAR a Christian?"
The sounds of the forest resumed.
And then the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together and bowed his head and spoke:
"Lord, bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen."
It's that time of year to take our annual senior citizen test.
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's important that we keep mentally alert. The saying; "If you don't use it, you will lose it" also applies to the brain, so...
Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence.
So, take the following test presented here and determine if you are losing it or are still "with it." The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you have made your answer.
OK, relax, clear your mind and... begin. WELL MAYBE NOT THAT CLEAR!
1 What do you put in a toaster?
Answer: "bread." If you said "toast," then give up now and go do something else. Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, "bread," go to Question 2.
2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk." What do cows drink?
Answer: Cows drink water. If you said "milk," please do not attempt the next question. Your brain is obviously over stressed and may even overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with reading something more appropriate such as Children's World. If you said "water" then proceed to question 3.
3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?
Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "green bricks," what the devil are you still doing here reading these questions????? If you said "glass," then go on to Question 4.
4. It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany.) Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he has time and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany or West Germany or in "no man's land"?
Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING else, you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to rescue anyone from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated. If you said, "Don't bury the survivors", then proceed to the next question.
5. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon, two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on in Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the name of the bus driver?
Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember your own name? It! was YOU!!
Now pass this along to all your "smart friends" and hope they do better than you did.
PS: 95% of people fail in most of the questions!!
osey.. much too funny - both of them. Thank you!!!!! hope you had a nice weekend.
Georgio (your computer kitty) is a doll! do you wear the perfume?
thanks dutchess. I have been following the Crawford threads.. am a bit bummed out I couldn't be there. Had a chance to fly free w/friend but 'circumstances locally' again prevented.
No hissy fit, but major disappointment.
sistah, Lori.. how was the Par-tay????? you may have posted (although I didn't see it) We are all so busy.
Billie, did you go to crawford? the caravan in excess of 125 vehicles was awesome.. the pix on the "BIG" thread were great .. the ones I could open.
I need to return this computer EARLY tomorrow & no replacement in sight yet.
you continue with lovely posts. great eye for color/texture. Whoopie for YOU !!!! Why don't you do a table honoring Woolfie for all the great Logos he has done????
You are such an extraordinary woman! You ARE a FReeper I do want to meet ASAP! Thank you for the fun posts, informative posts, inspirational posts & the just plain great LadyX posts!!!!!
Good luck w/ your computer. You will get a LOT of sympathy here on this thread for sure! I too have three, yes THREE naughty computers & am now using a friends.
Computers, men, cars... so sweet at times.. but so frustrating at times.!!!
I would be honored to do that if I could collect his logos. It would take me a while to troll through the threads to find them. But if he's up for it, so am I! I mean---he's such the wolf!!! :o)
No, I don't wear that perfume.
My Siamese, Georgio was born in Nov. 2000 and his full name is:
Georgio W. Bush
that perfume like white diamonds & others has a very strong scent but it very memorable. after a few hours it is nice. Usually always to strong with inital "spray" even if an easy one.
Love the name derivation of your kitty. Is this an only kitty in household????
Yes, Georgio is an 'only' kitty.
We adopted him from a Humane Shelter. They told us he was rescued from a household of 117 cats.......which explains why he hates other cats but loves to be around dogs.
117 cats? oh, my. Even a lot for me (and I have WAY too many)..
night Julie.. sweet dreams. I AM EXHAUSTED
Sweet Dreams to you!
