Uh oh, now she's threatening to inflict my singing on everyone. In the interest of humanity and love I will decline to sing. That in itself should earn me the Noble Piece Prize.

[Libertina]

That's Libbie, to you, Louie. :) LOL I've got so many names I'm becoming dizzy.

[Aquamarine]

Don't take that Prize from Jimmy...he earned it you know! LOL!

[Libertina]

LOL About the snake. I had a neighbor who paced a rubber one on my car under some fall leaves. When I turned on my wipers to clear the windshield it made the snake jump around and nearly scared me to death... (I later got into his house and shortsheeted his bed...:)
BTW, Pippin, CONGRATULATIONS on being a bonified FReeper! Sounds as if you had a good time, and you were certainly with good people :)

[WVNan]

Hahaha...that's funny. I'll have to remember that one. (hi K. I know you're lurking).

[Libertina]

Hi Nan! It was funnier AFTER my heart got down to about 1000 beats per minute :) I did look at it, but thought it was a stick because I parked outside under a tree. Afterwards he got my little daughter to place it in my bed. For a while everyone was nervous.... so many practical jokes...:)

It reminds me a bit of grad school. There were two friends of mine who were rooming together on campus. One was a non-stop practical joker. When her roomie's out of town boyfriend was coming, she moved all her roomie's good clothes out of the closet and even removed the toilet seat etc. Too funny.

Other jokes, When the guy in the dorm roon next to me got very drunk one night, the quad sqaud moved his entire room's furniture outside (including him lying on his bed) and filled his entire "empty room" with leaves. I'll never forget looking out and seeing him still in a stupor, outside on the grass, with his lamp on his night stand, next to him. It was really funny.

Not to be outdone, years before I came to campus there were two twin swimming pools on the quad. When one was empty, the students moved the President's antique car onto the bottom of the pool. He filled the pool with concrete (after retreiving his "baby." Atleast that's the legend. :)

Bump!

[WVNan]

When we were "on the road" the guys were always playing practical jokes on each other. Once we were staying in an old house (somewhere in PA) that had the look and feel of a haunted house. Three of the guys were staying in the same room, so one of them decided to hide in the closet and jump out at the other two when they came in. Problem was, the other two beat him to the idea. When he opened the door to the closet they both jumped out at him and he screamed and jumped all the way over a twin bed and fell on the floor.

[Libertina]

ROTFLOL I can just see this! Too funny.

[WVNan]

We all rolled with laughter too. The poor guy never lived it down. Where is everyone tonight? This place seems pretty deserted except for you and me.

Thanks, Aquamarine. Beautiful poem. It's is already copied and saved. Perseverance -- one of those gifts that sometimes eludes us.

[Salvation]

Thanks, Gophack. Good to see you here.

We had an apartment in Hayward because my husband commuted into San Francisco. Then we bought a house in the Warm Springs area of San Jose. San Jose was just beginning to grow and we were practically out in the country. Not so today, however. I get lost when I try to find my way around there now.

[Salvation]

Thanks, Nick. She did a beautiful job, didn't she?

[Salvation]

Thanks for stopping by madfly.

**Thanks again for your diligence and good spirit.**

And thanks to you for your knowledge and steadfastness as a Catholic!

[Salvation]

I don't know Catherine. Sometimes you guys keep me up to speed. LOL!

[Salvation]

Irises, how appropriate. The little town of Keizer where I live has an Iris Festival.

And thanks for the music. Wow! You guys know so much about the web!

[Salvation]

Fatima, you always have something insightful to say also. God bless!
