One from you, one from me. :)

Everyone's read about the Tipster having to see a shrink after albore lost.

Sean Hannity take today was,"She probably needed a shrink after all the FReepers chanting for her to get out of Dick Cheney's house."

Wonder what is Sean's screen name?

Billie, that was just the first day...in the two days ahead, the worst was yet to come...by the time it was over on July 3rd, 50,000 men fell...

[whoever]

Thank you, m'am. That was the first time I even tried that.

Beware in the future. You know me, once initiated, I don't have the good sense to stop.

[Mama_Bear]

LOL! I should have thought of that. :-)

[dixie sass]

Can't get the silly thing to play! Sighhhhhh, oh wellll, back to the drawing boards!!!

[Mama_Bear]

Hi who. It's a scorcher in the valley today. Staying cool?

[dixie sass]

What a handsome group of people! Of Magog looks so very familiar ....

Amy, you have a beautiful family. Oops, forgot men - handsome, women - beautiful.

Billie - good morning, errrrr - uhhh, afternoon. lol

[whoever]

Yes, m'am, I stay cool. I am lucky enough to be able to stay indoors where it is cool. I pity tradesmen or training military out there in it, however. It can be pretty miserable.

An Unbelievable Story

Seems that a year ago, some Boeing employees on the field decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in getting it out of the plant and home.

When they took it for a float on the Stilliguamish River, they were quite surprised by a coast guard helicopter that was homing in on the emergency locator that is activated when the raft is inflated.

They are no longer employed at Boeing.

Rotflmao especially the last one!!!! To perfect, beyond words!!!

[ofMagog]

Thanks to you both.
The story of the ditzy lady getting my autograph in Tahiti and showing it to her fellow cruise passengers is true.

[Scuttlebutt]

Can't get the silly thing to play! Sighhhhhh,

It's a '.ram' file and requires RealPlayer/RealAudio to load and play it. I guess I should have said that with my comments, sorry.

[dixie sass]

What wonderful news! The power of PRAYER works!!!

[Diver Dave]

The power of PRAYER works!!!

Never a doubt.

There's a song we sang a few years ago in choir called, "He Never Failed Me, Yet."

I've often times failed Him, but He doesn't keep score.

[Billie]

We're over here now - and it's a beautiful day for a ride!

[Billie]

Sounds like a winner to me!

I think he's somewhere under a shade tree taking a nap or something - he's MUCH too quiet. :)
