Fortune Cookie II

Well, The Edit Delete key is gone again so will shut this down and see if it returns

Hi Mory, it's there for me, but now is down in the lower right corner.

Looks like... well can't seem to post the icon pictures. But is there for me and seems to work.

(test edit)

Hi Kids...,...Looks like there have been some major changes. I was just starting to understand the old screens. . Just goes to show some things never change.

AIn't it purdy?

Pink hardly shows!

Mory, My edit button is working. It's in the bottom right of the screen. Yours must be playing hide-n-seek.

Hello Kids Yes Mrs. M, It is purdy.

Yellow Pink and Purple are Really hard to read in the density provided - But my Sony screen is two years old already. I have been clicking around trying to find pages
mentioned. Has anyone found a spelling checker anywhere? How long do we have to make a correction - in the forum or a snipe?
Haven't found a pole yet Mrs M: I'm afraid to Snipe maybe should wait a while until things settle down

Good afternoon Mory. Only the forum on Infopop has changed and suspect the edit time limit is the same.

WAIT... I just did an edit on a post from YESTERDAY !!! Is there no time limit anymore? See my previous post in this topic.

Thanks Puppy: I am still trying to install Snipe It Now Again. but being Sat it times out before anything happens - may try again Monday. My major disapointment with AS is no time to correct errors and no spelling checker. It will really be nice if the originator has time to correct obvious errors. I'd like to trade in Bold, Gremlins or Colors for a Spell Checker - In fact I would trade all ten boxes above for a Spell checker

You mean, of course, your disapointment with Infopop.

Hi Mory,
As far as editing is concerned, I just edited a post from Feb. Spell checker would be nice too.

Right Puppy - Infopop is the culprit - HELP

FRIENDS IN BRAZIL?

There has never been a hurricane in South America. The Huricane center in Miami is listing advisories to Brazil but they are not listening and coastal towns are making no preparations. It's a small Huricane but with no preparation it can be really bad news.

It won't be long until hurricane season is in ful force again, here Mory. We haven't had one in Naples in over 30 years!

I wish Today was Easter Sunday - it is 70 - Sunny and a clear Blue sky. Gentle Breeze. We get 10 of these days a year now but used to get a hundred. I went to grade school in Great Falls Montana - they built Malmstrom AFB there because it is flat for 50 miles and has over 300 perfect clear days a year for planes to land. I miss this kind of weather. I think it has a lot to do with our total health.

This was a perfect Day.. Had to hear Motorcycles ripping down past my door .. makes me want to buy a new cycle and "Get On Down The Highway" like I have done the last 50 years - I sure would save on the gas it jumped another 5 cents to 189.9 and the High Test to 209.9. Exactly $30 to fill my van today.

I sure couldn't fill mine for thirty, Mory! Our gas is the same here.

Well, I see it just as price gouging if BJ's and Walmart can sell it 12 cents cheaper there is somebody making a killing. Even they are too high. The Oil companies are going too stick it to us all summer now.

Sams is at 1.79 here. It isn't too convenient for me to go there so I usually end up paying 1.85. Rip off? You bet!

Do you realize bottled water is more expensive than gas!!! Ever read the lable on those bottles? ...goes something like this.

Geniune Rockey Mountain Spring Water. (bottled by Rockey Mountain Spring Co. Lubbock Texas)

Just a thought.

A lot of things are higher than gas. Not the point, Puppy! The point is what should it cost. You can't compare water and gas. And btw, bottled water is unreal!

I think it would be nice if gas were not so expensive too, but ask R2 what he pays for gas.

BUT we don't live there! Usually it is the tax structure that makes the difference...even here, state to state.

Or Japan... even more expensive at over $5. Paris, Korea, Italy, Germany? It's more than $4 a gallon in any of those spots.

We have it so much better than most. (Unless you want to live someplace like Iraq.)

Not saying we shouldn't complain... I wouldn't be truly happy if I didn't have something to complain about... Just tossing about some 'food for thought'

I buy only GENUINE SPRING WATER.. the Pride of New York..
In small print I see it says,
Processed by Carbon Filtration - Ultraviolet Treatment - Reverse Osmosis - Micro Filtration Plus - Ozonation - Source of Supply - The Municipal Water System of Greenville, TN. I don't know if this is the waste from the Space Shuttle or a sewer plant - It certainly isn't a Spring. But for $1.27 a gallon?
I can sell the water from the spring in my building but not out of the county. Now that
I've read the label. I"ll use my own spring water - at least I know where it's from and what's been done to it. Nadda

I never swallow the but it cost *** in another country. If you will look at the breakdown of how much of their 5.00 is pure tax, you'll understand where I am coming from. In Japan, houses are so expensive that you never really own them, but pass your mortgage down when you die. But, you and I live in America and I think we need to fight to keep our balance stable. If we are being ripped off, recognize it as that! "Sugar" on the gas doesn't make it better.

Mory, there is no control on bottled water! Greenville<tn.! LOL! I didn't even know they had hooked up city water yet!!

Mory... SUPRISE!!!

Mrs.M What erks me about gas prices has nothing to do with taxes. It's the folks that make and sell it. Oil goes up... Price at the pump is up within 24 hours. Oil goes down... Price at the pump takes a month or more to drop to where it started.

Yes, that really gripes me too! Or, if it is mentioned on TV that it might go up...whoops, next day it's up!

LMAO !!!

I'm suprised they would print that on the bottle!!!

Puppy, I used to live near there, It is very close to where the atomic bomb was made! ...maybe atomic waste?

Well they had to do something with it... Not to worry, the Ozonation probably fixes everything.

LMAO!!!!!!!! Oh dear, do you think?

Lexie: went for Chinese and at the cashier they had Cadbury,

Cream filled, foil wrapped Easter Eggs - 1.32 OZ 38 gr. at 2 for $1 US,

My fortune cookie (which I dedicated to you) says You are filial, kind and
trustworthy ...

Now I haven't the slightest idea what the H that is so if it isn't
good forgive me... I have a feeling your going to be surprised at how much
Cadbury is everywhere. Just For You...

One thing I used to get is Cadbury squares filled with tart red
Rasberry Jam - but I havent seen them for awhile.

Mmmm... Eggs... I stock up every year, but they never seem to last long.

Mory, now that rasberry one sounds good! I was in the dollar store the otherday and they even have Cadbury!

MRS M" speaking of Japan - Another time I missed the boat... In 1951 I could have bought the beautiful Home I lived in for $400 complete with Saunna Building and guest cottage.
Only one stop from the Ginza. It is now a High Rise Hotel. Instead I bought Mikimoto Pearls and fine Noritake China - very nice, but the home would have made me a million for sure.

That it would have, Mory. I'm surprised you could have bought it!

Stock up the day after, Puppy! ..Half price!

Mory

That would be Mikimoto pearls, and yes it is not uncommon for a mortage in Japan to last 3 generations

Nice to see you back, Jet!

I am usually here at least once a night, just never post unless a topic interest's me, or I need advice / help with AS

OIC! Well, you can always start a topic, you know! Did you spend some time in Japan?

Funny story, Mory!

Thanks JET I corrected Mikimoto -

No prob Mory, Yes Mrs.M about 7 years during the mid '80's early '90's

My youngest son lived and went to school there in the 80s, Jet.

Cool!! What part?

Morioka

Thanks so much Mory I looked up Filial on the net and this is what I got....

Thanks Again - I will think of you whilst I am stuffing my face full of Carbury

Yokohama/Tokyo area. If I am not mistaken Morioka is on the north end of Honshu ( main island ) . Very pretty up there

Straight north of Tokyo, maybe 300 miles. He used to take the bullet train to Tokyo.

Mory, you've lived such an interesting life!

Some of those autographs would be worth some money, I should think.

By the way, walking aids your mental functions because the right-left-right-left cross-body motion helps stimulate the transmission of signals across the corpus collosum, which connects the two hemispheres of the brain.

That is why developmental neurologists believe it is so important for babies to crawl properly, too.

My goodness and very busy life, changing careers and moving around the world, it seems weekly!

I see I'm sniping a total of 34 batteries
in the next three hours - They are closing within 30 seconds of each other - wish I had learned about bid groups - see, always something to learn.. Well, I will probably have nothing or have shopped for some early Christmas gifts. Now have to find some memory.

34!! Mory, you can still move them to a bid group.

• Go to My Snipes
• Click Manage BidGroup button
• Fill in Create Folder info (leave the 'This folder is a bidgroup' box checked)
• Click Create button
• Back to My Snipes page
• Tic all those little boxes on the left of each snipe
• Next to the Move To button select the folder you just created
• Click the Move To button

To see all Snipes, Select 'All Snipes' where it says 'Choose Folder:' and click 'All' where is says 'Choose Snipes'

Thanks Puppy: I printed that and put it in front for when I get the next buy set for memory. I really appreciate the information and how clearly you put it.
I already deleted some bids so am down to 16 which is OK as I see they have much more capacity than the ones I have now. When I got to thinking about Christmas I got the Idea of looking for those little alum precision flashlights as my firehouse gifts. I can't remember the name but the commercial had them being run over by a car. I'll find them at Walmart and then look on the net for a dozen.

MAG-LITE ?... The one I saw it was run over by a semi!!
Better have batteries in it at the time though.

Thanks Puppy That's the One - In white or yellow
now I can look..
The NMH Nicad Bids close in 24 minutes -

I WON 12
These are the new 1850mAh - Lost the second set. One more is still listed so am going after that and a Franklyn Word Speller. I don't think it will help - Today I typed calculator with an e instead of o. I make dumb errors - wish we had a spell check on Info-Pop.

Thanks Littlebit: If they write something - even a word, I keep it the rest get shredded. They do help remember good times.

Good evening everyone!

This afternoon they played Miracle on 34th St the new color version of the movie. It was OK but they didn't have the great ending when they bring in all letters to Santa from the PO and dump them on the judge.

Also I saved your welcome man with the Sandwich Board-- - such a Happy Welcome.
Good Night..and Thanks

Hi everyone. Almost time for bed now!! I have to slow down!! Got one side of the crib stripped and now the next is "soaking". I'm not getting the dresses done for my grandaughters fast enough. I really should mail them tomorrow. Do you think they would be dissapointed with the cut out pieces?? LOL Oh shoot, someday I'll learn. These trips every other day to therapy on my arm are taking too much time! 30 miles each way...and of course I have to stop at WalMart and JoAnn fabrics each time. Yikes!! I need to list some stuff and make some $$$$. It's getting near the slow season tho. Anyone else think selling sucks in the summer?

I'll try to get here earlier tomorrow. Gnite all.

Yes, MG, summer is really slow and winter goes too fast!..DOn't get in a dither, it expends too much energy! It'll all get done in time!

Mory, I think when they colorize the movies, they just are not the same somehow. I have seen it many, many time over the years. Great movie!

Mrs.M, I was going to say I'm here early but you were here wayyyy early this morning. I can't do that!

Mrs M: They didn't just colorize it - they remade the movie and changed the story after it started. All they did was keep the title and the story in the first reel.
Then it's a romantic comedy to the end in wide screen color - it ends with the town of NY coming to Times Square and the judge looking at a dollar bill... saying In God We Trust so there must be a Santa Clause.
I guess they are getting ready for High Def Color and need a new Christmas Movie for the Holiday. It is such a perversion of a great timeless classic. Think I'll go to Half Com and buy a copy of the original.

Mory, I have a great collection of the classic movies(at least the ones I like) on DVD.

Mrs.M, That singing bunny commercial is back!
Little white bunnies in Toys R Us singing Here comes peter cottontale. I love that one. Makes me smile everytime!! And couldn't have been more perfect timing as I was just about to throw a piece of fabric across the room!

Hope they play it again.

Mg, I'll have to watch for it!

I can't bite my tounge any longer!

All you folks on the "oh dear, fuel is so expensive" thread....

It costs me the equivalent of $110 to fill up my van, and this weekend I will probably fill it three times.

My standard of living would double if I only had to pay $30 (or the GBP equivalent) for diesel!

Sorry I've been quiet BTW - REALLY busy just now.

SS

Sorry SS I do know we have it good - I do have another friend that has a Mail Contract and He has 60 days to go on his contract, He's really working for nothing but if he doesn't finish he can't bid on a renewal or new contract. They said our mail won't increase but it has to. Crude went to $40 yesterday so Californians will be paying $3 soon. but a lot less than you. When Canada & Mexico join the US
maybe gas will stabilize here. Thats of course if China and it's dollar stores don't take us all first.

Squeaky, We in America know that. When I was still working, I spent many years overseas. However, we don't live there and a rip off is a rip off. It does not cost anymore to pump it or send it this month than it did last month, so where does this boost in cost come from? Simple , political ripoff. We have a lot of oil right here ...capped off, in the ground.

Mory, yes it's for toys r us. Sooo cute. Little white bunnies everywhere singing. Heh, hope you can find it.

More on Gas prices: Dated 4/1/2004

quote:

---

But the fact is oil and wholesale gasoline prices dropped abruptly this afternoon as the Bush administration said it was considering suspending clean air rules for three states -- California, New York and Connecticut.

The comments by Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham before a congressional hearing today knocked crude oil prices down nearly 4.1% to $34.30 and wholesale gasoline futures to $1.07, down 5.5%. Crude ended the day at a 7-week low.

---

Good News? Maybe... still waiting to see this at the pump.

Yes Puppy I sure hope that works - otherwise there is rumbling of challenging OPEC so they just released more for April. As Mrs M says the handling is the same - it's all about the Oil Co's & Politics.
I think this is just a push to get the President's energy bill passed which is a blank check for the Oil companies - It's a back-up for Bush if he loses the election.

MG: Congratulations on finishing your sewing project.
There is nothing you can do that is more rewarding as
something you do with your mind and hands - For Someone
You Love.

Mory, congrats on the 100# weight loss! That is stupendious!!! What courage you have!

Thanks Mory
Now I have to get two curtains made for my other soon-to-be-born grandaughter's room. Should be a piece of cake compared to those dresses!!
Also congratulatons on your weight loss. I know 25 lbs isn't much compared to your goal, but it's uncomfortable for me and I have to get rid of it!! This is day two of my fasting and I'm loosing my resistance to the food here. But I'm going to try real hard not to give in. It's just that those apples over there look awful good, and a little peanut butter on them would really be good. *sigh* better go sew, or outside quick!!

Pnut butter on apples? hmmm Well, I have never tried that, but it is making me hungry!!!

Pnut butter on apples?

Yep... That's right up there with peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

Oh well, Puppy, that I am a regular at eating!

Thanks for the Kind Words..
I started at 538 and today
am 396. I have cut six inches
off my belt and am not getting
a new one. I threw out my 7X
shirts & today bought 3X which
which will be fine on Monday.
I no longer have a goal as I
hate failure - just one day at
a time. Actually I do have a
goal - It's to be comfortable
in an airline or theater seat
again. I can now get in one
but in two more months I will
.. be able to breath..LOL

Mory, when you were 538, were you able to walk much? You have done so well!! I am going to print out your last post and show my daughter. She went through some serious depression a few years back and went to over 400 lbs. She stayed in bed. She now weighs around 140 which is pretty normal for her 5' 7" frame. I know what she went through, so can understand what you are also going through. I have always been lucky to have a small frame and no weight problems. I realize how lucky I am. Again, Mory, you should be very, very proud!

Mory...Congratulations on your weight loss. I know it's been tough, but how rewarding. I only speak for myself but I find losing weight very easy. However, the decision to actually make the commitment to loose is another story, that's hard, since it entails a lifestyle change. MG, I fasted for 18 days once. After 3-4 days you don't even want to eat. The pounds do drop off but the risks are great. Looking back, I was stupid to do it. Just eat healthier foods and not as much and exercise more

I used to take apple slices and put them on a stick - dip in milk chocolate and roll in chopped Macadamia nuts. Three or four apples like that and you don't really need a desert...LOL I say it's the dipped cherries and glace orange that put on my weight.

Yes I got around good Mrs M: Though summers I used my Golf Cart a Lot mostly to get from cookout to cookout LOL Now
I can talk about food or even cook for other people It doesn't affect me - I can leave it.. It is stressfull when friends who know I am dieting say OH come on have a porkchop. They are in AA so I come back and say I'm going home and get a bottle and drink in front of you until
you stop pushing. Only then they stop.
Thanks Jake: My brother was always thin
it's just chemistry. MG: Eat the apples plain and slow or dice them with raisins which give you a energy boost. . Eat some Bran or shredded wheat you will lose weight so much faster and not be hungry. I go to a local Chinese buffet and just hit the salad bar for lunch for $4.50
I can't buy for $20 what I eat there let alone the hours to clean & cut things up. The only thing I take from the Hot table is Mushrooms. I really enjoy it. If I do the same thing after 5PM it's ten dollars. If I fill a plastic take out it comes to $8 to $10 even at lunch. I have done it to compare. I don't eat any of their dressing. Just much like a rabbit for an hour. Enuf of this food talk.....

You are right , Mory, it is chemistry. Even my own children differ. I have one son that is like me and has always been thin. My husband was very thin when we married , but got up to 240 later. Now that he is ill, he is 60 pounds lighter and constantly loosing.
Haven't heard from Jabber for a while! Hope he is not ill!

Sorry I didn't make it back here last night. Our wireless crapped out. dumb thing. But I did get the curtains done!

The exercise program I'm tring does the fasting shakes (yucky) for two days and now I have to start the exercises and good diet.I lost 4 lbs over the two days so I was happy with that start. I really don't eat much. I don't like fried food, and greasy stuff.I do have a sweet tooth. But the antidepressants I was on from April last year until about three weeks ago made me gain weight.(they were to help me deal with my son being in Iraq) I wish the dr. would have told me that might happen!! I was getting depressed about my weight from taking them! I weigh 142 now. I know, some are saying that's not bad. But I'm only 5'2 and I have small bones. I should weigh around 120. I'd be very happy at 125. Just HATE my pants to feel tight! Heh, I picked up a couple of "gardening pants" yesterday at a garage sale. The were two sizes too big, and pretty sad looking. but they sure are comfortable for working in the garden.Which is what I have to do this weekend, AFTER I do the exercise program each morning. It's 6 days a week, for 6 weeks. Just in time for pool season! (what do you want to bet I can't move tomorrow )

Jake you fasted for 18 days?!!! I was close to giving in last night, I'd never make it for 18 days! LOL My hubby wouldn't make it for 1 day!!

I wouldn't place any money against that bet!
I love any kind of veggies or fruit. I also love cottage cheese mixed with about anything, including cereal and I love yogurt! I am not a big meat eater and I don't care for most fast foods. Candy and sweets, not big on my list. Sometimes they look good, but when I eat the, I usually don't finish them.

MG in a couple of days.

Yep 18 days of nothing but water. DON'T EVER DO IT. My seizures increased dramatically and by the time I wised up and decided to eat, I couldn't because my tongue was chewed up so badly from the seizures. I was in Phoenix with my dad while he was in the hospital; he broke his neck in a truck accident and was paralyzed from the neck down.
Mory...You sure do have good will power. If I went to a restaurant, I couldn't resist the things I like.

Oh dear, that must be me! I love parsley!

Jake, yes , I can imagine that a fast that long would harm your health.

Mrs. M. Sounds like you eat a very healthy diet, very admirable. Veggies, yucky -- yogurt, yuckier--cottage cheese, mega yucky. If it’s good for me, ick. If it’s not, yum. I guess I take after my grandmother; she never had a green veggie in her life. When I went to visit her she would say, I need to go to the store, I'm out of staples. She meant candy bars, cookies, cakes, pies and ice cream. To her those were the five food groups.

That's a really cute pik, Mrs. M. Ya think I should swipe it and use it for my sig.

Jake, I found it the otherday and saved it for you!

Guess I do like food that is good for me..not sure why, but I always have.

C'Mon Jake - Swipe it Till Summer
Five Basic Food Groups OMG LMAO Again
I'm Putting the Parsley Joke on
my frig. LOL
I buy a Flat of Parsley this month and
will plant it with Petunias along the
boarder of my summer place for the
Bunnies - Sometimes there's even enough
left for me

Ok, I obviously need help---PLEASE. I am trying to put in my new sig. Oh hang on, I gust got an idea, scary huh.

Here goes, cross your fingers

It seems my whole Life has become
Learning to Like any food that

Mory, that sounds good. Kiwi blended with ice. mmmmmmmm

sorry guys be I gotta cut out. Actually I can't move my legs!! Uh oh!!

Ok, Jake, this is the way I do mine.
I open a post and do the pix paste as usual. just like I was going to post it, but I don't click the post now. Instead, I highlight lt, copy it, go to the sig box and paste it.

This is it, I HOPE.

Awww, that's really cute!!

Congratulations Jake

Round and Round We Go

Now You need a Quack Quack Sound

Mrs.M...Don't you ever sleep? I have another question. I have a pic of a poem but it won't post. Can I create a link to it or something?

Thanks for the Reminder Mrs M

Jake it looks better closer...

Mory, you and Mrs. M are night owls.

Good nite Mory. It's bed time for me too.

HAPPY PALM SUNDAY EVERYONE.

Jake, is it an image or just writing? If it is writing , just copy and paste..if it is an image, make sure it is the right kind like jpg. If not change it.

Mory, same to you!

Thanks Mrs M:
I'm Hung Over from searching
all night on the Net.. I ran out
of Decaf abd forgot what
a pot of regular does to me
Will I never learn?

Today I want to learn how to
post a picture here....When I turned on the
computer today all the Shortcuts
were Scrambled - remember Pick Up Sticks?

Mrs. M....It is an image and it's jpg. But it won't upload to village. If you type "camille peltier-robson" in google image, it is the first image. I thought about MG when I saw it. Also, how do you change jpg to gif etc?

You'll need a picture editor of some sort to change file types. You would load the jpg and save in gif format.

I don't use Village, but was able to upload it to Photobucket with no problem.

For MG:

Remember, gardens are best when shared!

Jake, she will love it! How sweet of you!

Mrs. M & Puppy
I appreciate your help.

We are here to help each other, Jake!

Forgive for maybe stating something you know already... but,

You don't have to download to YOUR site to post a picture off the internet. The only times you would have to do that are for pictures on your PC that are not on the net somewhere. If the jpg or gif is already on the net, you can just use *that* url while posting.

How Truly Beautiful "The Garden Artist"

I am also totaly enchanted by
the single yellow rose

It's like every garden is unique
beautiful - wonderful and

Unbelievably puppy, I remember you telling me that before and I actually remembered it. I use village and PB because I can categorize the pixs. The memory isn't what it use to be so I always appreciate hearing things again and again and again. Hey, sounds like I should be married. Calm down ladies, remember the guy bashing the other day!

Jake, if it is on the internet, just right click on the pix...choose properties...go up to the box that pops up and highlight the url completely. Then right click on the highlighted area and click copy.. and cancel the box...go to where you want to post it...if here, click on the display image and then click paste and ok.

Hey Mory, Is it snowing in your neck of the woods. I hear a cold front went through. It's around 70 something here. 80's in a day or two.

(edit) ... Well I'm *leaving* mine! ...

Good one Puppy!

JAKE!! awwww Thanks!! That garden poem is beatiful. I put it in my file

The straw is moved. Phew!! good thing we don't have chat-scent!

I discovered I did looose a few of my new Iris despite all my work to protect them. I have to check my books, I only hope they weren't the really expensive ones.

Puppy, thanks for the edit on Mike. Men don't believe it, but women do not want to look at that!

I was telling my hubby about the ebay straw sale. I don't remember where that was posted, anybody know?

I want it!! There's room on the back to put all my flower purchases as I traveled!!

Awww, it so purdy. Don't think I could part with it! LMAO!!!

Well, It's snowing again so
gassed up the snowblower so
it's reading for morning - Nite =All

Mory, isn't that strange for April?

Where does Mory live?? Alaska?

Did everyone go to bed??? I should too. I listened to the news and we lost 12 soldiers today. I feel so bad for their moms.
I wish my son hadn't gone back. He'll soon be in a convoy again, and that's so scarey. Bah, stupid terrorists.
I'm goin to bed and hope there is a message from him in the morning. .......

It's almost Midnight 11:46 and I'm Done
off to bed again.
No Im in upstate New York 200 miles North
OF NYC. This will probably be our last snow
but last year my Daffodils were up and blooming
and got buried. This time of year
the snow doesn't stay more than 3 or 4 days and melts.
April is usually showers & freezing rain.

Find Norwich then go half a inch down the road to Binghamton and that's the little
village called Rockdale where I live on Rt 8 which is not on this map - But this a great map without the little feeder county roads.

Mory, How far are you from Niagra Falls?

Mory, is this close?

You four need to get more sleep! LOL! I sure don't like this time change. It is pitched black when I get up now. Who's bright idea was this, anyway???

Ditto on the new time. I don't like it either. It took me 5 minutes to figure out how to log on this morning. I wonder if that's a sign of how my day will go?

Heh, I'm waiting to see how long it will take for my hubby to change the clocks. We had a long discussion on Sat. about how he leaves everything but mowing the grass to me.(and that's only because I refuse. I'd be mowing and he'd be golfing!) He really doesn't even think about it, just expects me to do everything.Says he "doesn't notice" messes and things! Have I spoiled him or what!!??? Darn babies of the family! Don't mean to say he's lazy or not a good guy, just spoiled!
Now the clock in the living room is stuck on 4:50. LOL I bet it's a week before he says anything!!!

MG,....Why did you have a long discussion. REMEMBER, men never listen. Can't guy bash one minute & want the clocks changed another.

Men strike back! !

How many men does it take to open a beer?
None. It should be opened when she brings it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is a Laundromat a really bad place to pick up
a woman?
Because a woman who can't even afford a washing
machine will probably never be able to support you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do women have smaller feet than men?
It's one of those "evolutionary things" that allows
them to stand closer to the kitchen sink.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you know when a woman is about to say
something smart?
When she starts a sentence with
"A man once told me."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
How do you fix a woman's watch?
You don't. There is a clock on the oven.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife
is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first?
The dog, of course. He'll shut up once you let him in.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
What's worse than a Male Chauvinist Pig?
A woman who won't do what she's told.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I married a Miss Right.
I just didn't know her first name was Always.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Scientists have discovered a food that diminishes
a woman's sex drive by 90%.
It's called a Wedding Cake.

Women will never be equal to men until they can
walk down the street with a bald head and a beer
gut, and still think they are sexy.

LOL Jake you're funny!
BTW I made more $$$ than him and retired already!

Puppy: Not Far, I think thats where
the road on Rt 8 turns left to go over
the mountain. About 7 miles. Amazing map photo.
Jake: the Falls Is 255 milesa five hour drive North from me.

Mory, I love waterfalls and that's a doozy. If I lived that close I would spend alot of time there.

It is beautiful, Jake. I love fall too. I like to camp in Tn. at Fall Creek Falls. It is great!

It is very exciting - Only thing close to it was Old Faithful..

See how smart your husband is. Guess you didn't meet at the laundromat.

Jake: Hundreds of Seniors go back there
for Wedding renewals every day...But they
have several muggings a day of Seniors - couples
and singles. they have an enormous
SecurityForce but it keeps happening
- Very Sad Times.
My Dad & Stepmother were mugged and beaten
at Death Valley campground...Dad had Eight
Thousand in a floor safe...they beat him till
he opened it. Didn't have a dime or credit card
when it was over. Four other couples loaned him
money to get back to Seattle. Times have changed.
He had two two legal guns with them- they hit at
breakfast - Alyce making coffee - He had a habit
of stepping out to Pee instead of filling the
holding tank. He was two weeks in Hospital
before he could drive home. After that, all
they did was fight because Alyce refused to learn
to shoot even though he was getting
beat to death. I say If you weren't there, who are we
to judge. After that she learned to shoot with a
girlfriend at 76 now ain't that amazing. I used
to call her Candy Ass Alyce. But had to change it to
Pistol Packin Alyce. I also used to call them
Pistol & Pisser...A year later they talked a lot at
Senior Lunches - about the experience but never
camped or RV/d again.

Mory, you are right about the times! I would not dream of going anywhere without a gun..and I can use it. I was well trained!

Three Cheers for You Mrs M:

Naw, I picked him up in a bar!! heh

He played in a rock and roll band, and I loved to dance. Only problem was, while he was playing the music I din't have anybody to dance with!

Well, you know, MG, that's true no matter what you husband does...if you're married to a plumber, you never get your plumbing fixed..if you married to a musican, you don't get to dance! Life is funny, isn't it?

Yea, I never fix his pants!!

time for bed. Have to get up, do my exercise class (1 hour!), clean up and deliver the crib, and then get to therapy by 11am. Phew!! Gnite all.

It's noon, the snow has melted in the morning sun
and it's a beautiful Spring Day..
28 last night and now it's 60.. I am waiting for
the Road Runner installer - anytime in the
next three hours depending how his morning
installation went. Just downloaded all my
addresses in case all is lost. Talk with
all later when the new line gets installed -
it's my first upgrade in 8 years. But I
like to say if it works don't fix it.

Hey, where's my favorite ebay auction writer??? I need a good ad to sell, or give away my stupid neighbors. So far in the seven years we've lived here (we were here first) they have, damaged a large number of plants, trees etc in our yard by spraying dandelions with a tank sprayer on a 20 mile / hour wind day. (That one cost them!) Their dog barks 24/7 and all they do is say "Flip!".( I have behind my back!) Family members visit and stare at us while we are in the pool because they want invited in. And yesterday, once again, as I was out in the yard working, he decided it was the ONLY day to burn a huge pile of grass and yard crap WITH THE WIND BLOWING OVER TO OUR HOUSE! I'm allergic to smoke and he know's it. And, he lit this huge fire right beside my young pine trees. Now, everyone here has at least one acre yards. And he is so dumb he thinks the only place to burn his crap is right next to my trees. I told him it better not have hurt the trees. He said, well I watered them before I burned. DUHHHHHHH, I want to tell him to wet his face and then I'll aim a blow torch at him and see if he can feel the heat. Grrrrrr. So I REALLY need to get rid of them. Any good ads? heh , after we sell these off we'll start on the kids with the foulest loudest mouths I've ever heard, (and I grew up in the barn! I've heard alot!) Or are driving their 3 & 4 wheelers up and down and up and down and up and down our dead end street. The live on the next street over!
There's my vent. I'm going to search ebay for a book called "being a good neighbor for dummies"
