Peace events on Monday...Arlington and Denton

Hey everyone, there are two events going on tomorrow that I thought my Arlington and Denton peeps would want to know about. Since we're without wheels I won't be able to make either of these events, fyi.

Peacemaker Picnic in Arlington

In keeping with the idea of "Creating a Culture of Peace" the theme in Arlington for Memorial Day May 28, 2007, will be "Building a Culture of Peace in Arlington - Peacemaker Potluck Picnic." The event will address the question, what would a culture of peace look like in Arlington and around the world?

To express our oneness through a diversity of food is the theme of the picnic. What better fundamental truth about survival than to recognize we all must eat; and by recognizing we all must eat, we become more aware of our oneness.

Not just food for nourishment, but food for thought, too. Bring a poem about peace, a song to sing. And speaking of song and poem, we will also have Dances of Universal Peace.

When: Monday May 28, 5pm
Where: Fielder Park. On Fielder Rd, between Abram and Park Row.

No rainout plan - just wear your mud-hoppers and bring an umbrella!!

Peace Protest in Denton

Viet Nam Veterans Against The War and North Texas Veterans For Peace invite the public to join us on Memorial Day, Monday May 28 to remember the currently 3,431 American troops KIA in Iraq, as well as the over 655,000 Iraqi civilians killed as a result of the US invasion of Iraq. We will hold a public vigil in Denton from 11am to 1pm on the North Texas Blvd overpass at IH-35E to raise public awareness of this issue. Bring your protest signs, banners, flags, and yourselves to remind the public that Memorial Day means more than picnics.

A Final Xmas post

Here's one more "Night Before" version that I couldn't help but steal from Da Jules. Y'all enjoy! Twas the night before the party When all through the town, No pigs were stirring, No cops were around. We drank segrams & smoked panama reds, While visions of the munchies danced through our heads. When all of a sudden came a knock at the door... We all yelled "Pigs!" & hit the floor. But what to our red glazed eyes did appear... A pound of columbian with 2 kegs of beer. The man at the door, he gave us a smile So we said, "Come on in man, You should party a while." But we heard him exclaim as he flew through the sky... MARIJUANA TO ALL & TO ALL A GREAT HIGH!!!

Wax Is Not Your Friend...

Ohmigawd, my Mom-person sent this one to me and I swear I actually did laugh out loud. I think I'll stick to shaving cuz this sounds really scary to me... ;-) All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of easy, painless removal - The epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and now...the wax. My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, fix dinner, play with the kids. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next few hours: "Maybe I should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet." So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom. It was one of those "cold wax" kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the hair right off. No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. So I pull one of the ...

Couple of Bra Jokes :)

Here's a couple of oldies but goodies. :) What Religion is Your Bra? A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy's, shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife. "What type of bra?" asked the clerk. "Type?" inquires the man, "There's more than one type?" "Look around," said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, color and material imaginable. "Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only four types of bras to choose from." Relieved, the man asked about the types. The saleslady replied: "There are the Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian, and the Baptist types. Which one would you prefer?" Now totally befuddled, the man asked about the differences between them. The Saleslady responded, "It is all really quite simple...The Catholic type supports the masses. The Salvation Army type lifts the fallen...
