A Day in the Life

Billy sent this to me and it begged to be shared. Hope y'all enjoy it as much as I did! Here's a heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little 5-year old girl and some construction workers that makes you believe that we CAN make a difference when we give a child the gift of our time... A young family moved into a house, next door to a vacant lot. One day a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot. The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day observing the workers. Eventually the construction crew, all of them gems-in-the-rough, more or less adopted her as a kind of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important. At the end of the first week they even presented her with a pay envelope containing a couple of dollars. The li...

I'm stealing this meme from Monkeypuppet's myspace bulletin because it's fun and the questions are different than others I've seen. Since it's so long I'm going to be doing it in segments over the next few days...stay tuned for more! :) 1.) When showering, do you start the water and then get in or get in and start the water? I always get the water temperature just right before I get in! 2.) Do you read the labels on the shampoo bottle? No, why would I? 3.) Do you moan in the shower like the people on the herbal essence commercial? Only if I'm doing something other than shampooing... 4.) Have you ever showered with someone of the opposite sex? Yes, and I dig it! 5.) Have you ever been forced to shower with one of your siblings? No, thankfully. 6.) Have you ever brushed your teeth in the shower? Nope. 7.) Have you ever dropped your soap on your foot? Yeah and it hurts like hell! 8.) How old do you look? I still get carded from time to time so it must not be to...

I guess the current Nazi regime er, government has decided that the Rainbow Gathering is somehow terrorist-like and should be quashed. In a nutshell, Homeland Security raided the place, started issuing citations and performing trials (no representation for the people, no unbiased judge, no jury, just sentencing) on site. I found some news articles to support the fines and the hassles (and the apparent rebellion by the hippies) but of course the media has been censored as per usual. We all MUST write our elected officials and stop this madness, how the hell did naked, peace-loving, dope-smoking hippies end up being a threat to national security??? Here's what happened from a couple of insider's points of view: http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/06/27/18283162.php Here are some links from the Vail Daily News: http://www.vaildaily.com/article/20060622/NEWS/60622003 http://www.vaildaily.com/article/20060623/NEWS/106230041 Here's what the Denver Post covered: http://www.denv...

This is the club nite we went to on Friday and it was *so* fun. Here's the flyer if any of y'all wanna come out!

Happily stolen from Bobbie's myspace bulletin. This is a good one! :) OTHER FRIENDS: Never ask for food TEXAS FRIENDS: Are the reason you have no food. OTHER FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr. and Mrs. TEXAS FRIENDS: Call your parents mom and dad. OTHER FRIENDS: Bail you out of jail and tell you what you did was wrong. TEXAS FRIENDS: Would be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...we fucked up...but that shit was fun!" OTHER FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back. TEXAS FRIENDS: Keep your stuff so long they forget it's yours. OTHER FRIENDS: Know a few things about you. TEXAS FRIENDS: Could write a book with direct quotes from you. OTHER FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that's what the crowd is doing. TEXAS FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowd's ass that left you. OTHER FRIENDS: Would knock on your door. TEXAS FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, "What up!" OTHER FRIENDS: Are for a while. TEXAS FRIENDS: Are for life. OTHER FRIENDS: Will take y...

My family sent this to me and I haven't confirmed that any of these quotes are properly attributed but they're funny anyway so I thought I'd share. Hope y'all are having a great day! :) Question: If you could live forever, would you and why? Answer: "I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever," --Miss Alabama in the 1994 Miss USA contest. `````````````````````````````````` "Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff." --Mariah Carey ```````````` "Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life," --Brooke Shields, during an interview to become Spokesperson for federal anti-smoking campaign ```````````...

A buddy of mine sent this to me and it begged to be shared. Hope this makes y'all laugh as much as it did me! Dear President Bush, Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from you and understand why you would propose and support a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage. As you said, "In the eyes of God marriage is based between a man and a woman." I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them: 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can...
