Good - I don't think I saw you at all yesterday......did I? Maybe I did, and I forgot it was you because I forgot what you looked like. :)

WORDS WOMEN USE
>
> FINE
> This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel
> they are right and you need to shut up. Never use "fine" to
> describe how a woman looks this will cause you to have one
> of those arguments.
>
> FIVE MINUTES
> This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes
> that your football game is going to last before you take out
> the trash, so it's an even trade.
>
> NOTHING
> This means "something", and you should be on your toes.
> "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has
> of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and / or
> backwards. 'Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will
> last "Five Minutes" and end with 'Fine.'
>
> GO AHEAD (With Raised Eyebrows)
> This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset
> over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine" .
>
> GO AHEAD (Normal Eyebrows)
> This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't
> care" You will get a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead" in just a
> few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will
> talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.
>
> LOUD SIGH
> This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement
> often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means, at that
> moment, she thinks you are an idiot, and wonders why she
> is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you
> over "Nothing".
>
> SOFT SIGH
> Again, not a word, but a non-verbal statement. "Soft Sighs"
> mean that she is content. Your best bet is to not move or
> breathe, and, hopefully, she will stay content.
>
> THAT'S OKAY
> This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman
> can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to
> think long and hard before paying you back for whatever
> it is that you have done. "That's Okay" is often used with
> the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a "Raised Eyebrow".
>
> GO AHEAD
> At some point in the near future, you are going to be in
> some mighty big trouble.
>
> PLEASE DO
> This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving
> you the chance to come up with whatever excuse you have
> for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a
> fair chance with the truth, so be very careful and you
> shouldn't get a "That's Okay".
>
> THANKS
> A woman is thanking you. Do not faint. Just say you're
> welcome. THANKS A LOT. This is much different from "Thanks."
> A woman will say, "Thanks A Lot" when she is REALLY ticked
> off at you. It signifies that you have offended her in
> some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh."
> Be careful, and whatever you do, do not to ask what is
> wrong after the "Loud Sigh," as she will only tell
> you "Nothing".
>
> GOOD LUCK!

I'm too tired to jack with clean-up. ;-)

President Bush is wonderful.....and so presidential! There is something about him that's so hard to define......except that I honestly believe he will be remembered as one of the best presidents we have ever had. He GETS THINGS DONE! There's a fierce determination about him, yet he doesn't do it like a bully - he just quietly gets things done.

I'm sorry I was so late getting to your Puget Sound Rally Report thread - please don't drop me from your ping list! :)

At a small terminal in the Texas Panhandle, three strangers are awaiting their shuttle flight. One is a Native American passing through from Oklahoma.Another, a local ranch hand on his way to Ft. Worth for a stock show. The third passenger is an Arab student, newly arrived from the Middle East.

To pass the time, they strike up a conversation on recent events,and the discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon the Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout Muslim. The conversation falls into an uneasy lull.

The cowpoke leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table, tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face while the wind outside blows tumbleweeds and the old windsock flaps.

Finally, the Native American clears his throat and softly, he speaks: "Once my people were many, now we are few."

The Muslim raises an eyebrow and leans forward, "Once my people were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?"

The Texan shifts the toothpick to one side of his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says, "That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet.


BOY ... it took her forever to get thru the thread today.
COB ....... Congratulations.
Bet you were expecting a girlie calendar! Chadsworth has been handing them out at the FResno FReeps.
I'll tell him to save one for you.
