A Day in the Life

One of our friends that works with B gifted us with a good chunk of fried turkey so I cooked up a Thanksgiving feast last nite for dinner. Ahhhhh, *now* I feel like I had a holiday. Thanks Tanya! :)

Cyndi was kind enough to share this article from this month's Harper's magazine with me and it's a terrific read! It's 9 pages so make sure you have a block of time to read it. Hope you guys enjoy! :)

I am joining Andy in lighting this candle against the darkness of ignorance. I encourage everyone reading this blog to write a letter or make a call on this issue . Hopefully we can make a difference!

Here's an excellent joke about the Bush administration...unfortunately it's all too true. Thanks to Cyndi for this! :) How many members of the Bush administration does it take to change a light bulb? Ten. 1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed; 2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed; 3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb; 4. One to tell the nations of the world that they are either for changing the light bulb or for eternal darkness; 5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for the new light bulb; 6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, standing on a step ladder under the banner 'Bulb Accomplished'; 7. One administration insider to resign and in detail reveal how Bush was literally 'in the dark' the whole time; 8. One to viciously smear No. 7; 9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong light-bulb-cha...

Here's a little humor for everyone today. I hope that each and every one of you has a fabulous day!

Okay so my Shelly was competely out of control today, but this link was too good not to share... http://www.elviscoffee.com/

I liked the movie but don't just take my word for it. Check out what his former manager had to say about it... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10145077/ Thanks to my Shelly for this who apparently had way too much time on her hands at work today. :)

My Shelly was killing time at work today and sent me this link. It's kinda freaky how the brain works... http://www.patmedia.net/marklevinson/cool/cool_illusion.html

My sister sent this one to me and I couldn't help but share. Hope y'all enjoy! :) ------------------------ Two bored casino dealers are waiting at the crap table. A very attractive blonde woman from Alabama arrives and bets twenty-thousand dollars ($20,000) on a single roll of the dice. She says, "I hope y'all don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I'm completely nude." With that, she strips from the neck down, rolls the dice and yells, "Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!" As the dice come to a stop she jumps up and down and squeals, "I WON, I WON!" She hugs each of the dealers and then picks up her winnings and her clothes and quickly departs. The dealers stare at each other dumfounded. Finally, one of them asks, "What did she roll?" The other answers, "I don't know, I thought you were watching." Moral: Not all people from Alabama are stupid and not all blondes are dumb, but all men are men.

Twas the night before Thanksgiving and all through the kitchen; I was cooking and baking and moanin' and bitchin'. I've been here for hours, I can't stop to rest; this room's a disaster, just look at this mess! Tomorrow I've got thirty people to feed. They expect all the trimmings. Who cares what I need! My feet are both blistered; I've got cramps in my legs. The cat just knocked over a bowl full of eggs. There's a knock at the door and the telephone's ringing; frosting drips on the counter as the microwave's dinging. Two pies in the oven, dessert's almost done; my cookbook is soiled with butter and crumbs. I've had all I can stand, I can't take anymore; Then in walks my husband, spilling rum on the floor. He weaves and he wobbles, his balance unsteady; then grins as he chuckles "The eggnog is ready!" He looks all around and with total regret, says "What's taking so long....aren't you through in here yet??"...

Got this one via The Cap'n and Kurt . Heh, I'm sure these results come as no surprise to anyone including me. LOL! You scored as Civilian . You're a civilian. Not a soldier, period.

Ganked this post from Kurt , I love this comic strip! Honestly I thought I was going to end up being Lucy so this came as a surprise to me... :) You are Snoopy! Which Peanuts Character are You? brought to you by Quizilla

My friend Brian sent this to me and I just had to share it with you guys. I know I'm a little late but this is most definitely worth sharing. Read the story and then watch the video, it's worth the two minutes! http://www.terry-kelly.com/introduction.htm

Just wanted to give a shout out to all the men and women who selflessly go into dangerous places and fight without question. I sure do wish we had some better orders for our current troops because I'd love to see all of them come home. Thanks to everyone who has given their youth to serve our country, I admire you in ways that you cannot imagine. :)

Thought I'd better post a little humor to lighten things up around here. Got this from a girl at work and it's hillarious! :) Marriage (Part I) Typical macho man married typical good-looking lady and after the wedding, he laid down the following rules: "I'll be home when I want, if I want and at what time I want-and I don't expect any hassle from you. I expect a great dinner to be on the table unless I tell you that I won't be home for dinner. I'll go hunting, fishing, boozing and card-playing when I want with my old buddies and don't you give me a hard time about it. Those are my rules. Any comments?" His new bride said, "No, that's fine with me. Just understand that there will be sex here at seven o'clock every night... whether you're here or not." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marriage (Part II) Husband and wife had a bitter quarrel on the day of their 40th wedding anniv...

My Shelly sent this to me today and I *really* needed to hear it. :) A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. Well, he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value." It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and t...

I've started reading a newly discovered blog recently and thought I'd post this little gem that my Shelly sent me a while back. This one's for you, Guy, I think you'll appreciate it! If you lived as a child in the 50's, 60's or 70's how did you survive? Looking back, it's hard to believe that we have lived as long as we have... As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat. Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors, or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets. (Not to mention hitchhiking to town as a young kid!) We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. Horrors. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times we learned to solve the...

My Shelly sent me this link today and knew that I would appreciate it since I'm an avid non-breeder. Be forewarned, if you're the type of person that loves each and every baby on the planet just because they're there, do NOT follow this link. I personally think it's pretty hillarious... http://www.babyreview.com/

With all the stress in my life right now, country Shelli sent me the perfect thing to think about. I had to share it here: As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Country Shelli sent this to me and ohmigawd, it's too funny! Hope y'all enjoy! Disco Turkey

My stepmom shared this with me and I'm thinking it's some pretty good advice. :) By following the simple advice I heard on a Dr. Phil Show, I have finally found inner peace. Dr. Phil proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started. So I looked around my house to see things I started and hadn't finished; and, before leaving the house this morning I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bottle of Baileys, a bottle of Kahlua, a package of Oreo's, a pot of coffee, the rest of the Cheesecake, some Saltines and a box of Godiva Chocolates.

Here's a gem from Billy that I *had* to share! DEMOCRATIC You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. Barbra Streisand sings for you. REPUBLICAN You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So? SOCIALIST You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. You form a cooperative to tell him how to manage his cow. COMMUNIST You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk. You wait in line for hours to get it. It is expensive and sour. CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows. BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE You have two cows. Under the new farm program the government pays you to shoot one, milk the other, and then pours the milk down the drain. AMERICAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You sell one, lease it back to yourself and do an IPO on the 2nd one. You force the two cows to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when one cow drops dead. ...

My Shelly sent me this and I couldn't help passing it on to you guys. You gotta love this woman's timing... http://www.breitbart.com/news/2005/10/27/D8DGIS500.html
