Looks like you all turned in but forgot to turn the lite out. So I turned off the big lite but left the little one on for Palo and Westie and Gran and Habs so they don't trip all over the junk we left lyin' around when they come in. Sleep well and see you all bright and shiny in the morning. Oh, the coffee pot is set to come on and the muffins are in the fridge and the fruit spread is in the little pink dish. Just wipe up the crumbs, k!

The lawsuits would have bankrupted the airlines and the government would have lost in court and ended up paying the money anyway. This way lawyers don't get 1/3 of it.

"I started talking to him and he could actually hear me," said David. "We carried on a conversation. I was just stupefied by it. It was amazing. He could actually hear me."

And Today's Joke......

Me Brothers & Me Self

An Irishman walks into a bar in Dublin, orders three pints of Guinness and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.

The bartender approaches and tells him, "You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it, it would taste better if you bought one at a time.

The Irishman replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in America, the other is in Australia, and I'm in Dublin. When we all left home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days we drank together. So I drink one for each o'me brothers and one for me self."

The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there.

The Irishman becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way: He orders three pints and drinks them in turn. One day, he comes in and orders two pints.

All the other regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss."

The Irishman looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns and he laughs. "Oh, no, everybody's just fine," He explains, "It's just that me wife had us join that Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking. Hasn't affected me brothers though."

Hehehe .. Thank goodness this never happen to me ..

This is dedicated to everyone who has ever been embarrassed by a child's words or action.
My three year old son had a lot of problems with potty training; and I was
on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in
between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco,
I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven month old
daughter, and she was clean.

Then I realized that Matt had not asked to go potty in a while, so I asked, and he said "No". I kept thinking, "Oh Lord, that child
has had an accident and I don't have any clothes with me. "Then I said,
"Matt, are you sure you did not have an accident?" "No," he replied. I just
knew that he must have had, because the smell was getting worse.

So...........I asked one more time, "Matt, did you have an accident?" This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over and sprea! d ! his cheeks
and yelled.... ..."See MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!'

While 100 people nearly choked to death on their tacos, he calmly pulled up
his pants and sat down to eat his food as if nothing happened. I was
mortified......but some kind elderly people made me feel a lot better, when
they came over and thanked me for the best laugh they had ever had!!!

From Here

"These aren't bargain-basement prices, but they are surprisingly aggressive for a flat-panel computer as well-equipped as the iMacs.

I went to Dell's Web site (www.dell.com) and priced a Dimension 4400 model with a 15-inch flat-panel, DVD-recording drive and roughly the same specs as the iMac, including the FireWire ports, and came up with a price of $1,991, about $200 more than Apple's. A similar exercise, roughly matching the specs of the low-end iMac with a Dimension 4300S, yielded a price of $1,461, compared with $1,299 for the Apple.

Of course, the Dell has a few things the iMac lacks, like a beefier video card, a floppy disk drive and expansion slots. But the iMac has some things the Dell lacks, like an optical mouse, a built-in antenna for wireless networking, and of course the floating screen.

PLUS, THE IMAC comes with Apple's four free programs for handling digital content -- iTunes for music, iMovie for editing video, iDVD for burning DVDs, and the new iPhoto for handling photos. These programs are simpler and more capable than most of their Windows counterparts.

In my tests of the new iMac, the machine handled everything I threw at it. It ran Microsoft Office handily, opening numerous documents created in Windows without breaking a sweat, and creating documents I was able to open instantly on a Windows machine.

I copied songs from a music CD to the iMac's hard disk, burned a couple of custom CDs, and created a couple of DVDs that played fine on my TV-top DVD player. When I plugged in a digital camera, the iMac imported the pictures with speed and ease.

I also installed an Apple AirPort wireless networking card and was on my wireless home network in minutes, sharing a high-speed Internet connection with several Windows machines."
