okay, here's a "GREEN ONE" for you (an oldie I found in email)
@@@
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is "Patricia Whack."
"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday."
Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.
Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.
The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.
She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral."
She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"

The bank manager looks back at her and says...
"It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."

A great BLOG: http://www.littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/
is it sold anywhere in world? snugs, do you have it in England?
Those who are great gardeners have a GREEN THUMB.
yes, I love that one (and I did have that in my links above).. I missed so much that is green. REally appreciate your help.
I don't do much/any tv now but did years ago. Liked bonanza..followed Adam (drool); little joe, ben etc & their antics. Used to love I dream of Jeannie also. Guess, I have always had this secret desire to be able to clean my house that way! (and it surely needs it lately)
I am considered a good -not sure great- gardener. Have lots of plants, English gardens, herbs, wild flowers (the neighbors call them weeds) & a variety of trees/shrubs. Time & money are the limiting factors for most who love to garden.
I have a brown thumb. I even killed a catus!
But, my lemon tree is just fine even though it is infested with ants. When I ignore plants, they thrive.
I liked that joke.
I just thought of this since I am about to leave for the Farmers Market.

will stop by later. Need to do some "necesary things" & try to get dogs in back yard for a bit & get some food - haven't eaten anything yet, but that isn't unusual, I dont normally eat until after noon.
thanks eleanor. Just a curiosity. French? should have known! When I come back later, will read all the material you & fein have shared.
Dolly when did you have a fall what happened?
Do not Absinthe and Pernod taste similar I believe they are both made from aniseed
They are the same except Pernod does not have wormwood.
