Do you enjoy getting really dressed up and going to a fancy dinner or would you rather throw on those comfortable jeans and have dinner at a fast food joint?

Shellie....I don't have any answers that might help but I do want you to know that I often think of you, miss you and wonder how you are doing. I will continue to remember your sister in my prayers and will add your nephew to my prayer list.

I'm so very, very sorry for your loss. I will be remembering you and your family in my prayers.

Add me to this list of people that are saying lots of prayers.

I was about 12 years old when I saw Conway Twitty at our local county fair. Although I wasn't a big fan at the time, I remember that he put on a really good show. My mom was thrilled.

Saying prayers for all of Katies' family and am asking God to heal her dear mom.

The CT scan will help your doctors to identify what's happening with your husband. Like others have said, try to not worry too much until you have some answers from the doctor. We will be saying prayers that all is well. Plese let us know what you find out.

Yep...we're just like good glue....stuck tight!!!

So very sad to hear this news.

Who was the first group/band/artist you ever saw live in concert?

Dear Wife: I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you for good...!!! I've been a good man to you for seven years and I have nothing to show for it. These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you had quit your job today and that was the last straw. Last week, you came home and didn't even notice that I had gotten a new hair cut, cooked your favorite meal and even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers. You came home and ate in two minutes, and went straight to sleep after watching all of your soaps. You don't tell me you love me anymore, you don't want sex anymore or anything. Either you're cheating on me or you don't love me anymore, whatever the case is, I'm gone. Your EX-Husband P.S. Don't try to find me. Your SISTER and I are moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life! * * * *> > > >* * * * *> * * > * * * * * *> > > > Dear Ex-Husband: Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It's true that you and I have been married for seven years, although a good man is a far cry from what you've been. I watch my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining and griping. Too bad that doesn't work. I did notice when you got a hair cut last week, the first thing that came to mind was "You look just like a girl!" but my mother raised me not to say anything if you can't say anything nice. And when you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY SISTER, because I stopped eating pork seven years ago. I turned away fromyou when you had those new silk boxers on because the price tag was still on them. I prayed that it was a coincidence that my sister had just borrowed fifty dollars from me that morning ... and your silk boxers were $49.99... After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out. So when I discovered that I had hit the lotto for ten million dollars, I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Jamaica. But when I got home you were gone. Everything happens for a reason I guess. I hope you have the fulfilling life you always wanted. My lawyer said with your letter that you wrote, you won't get a dime from me. So take care. Signed: Rich and Freeeeeeeeeeee! P.S. I don't know if I ever told you this but Carla, my sister, was born Carl. I hope that's not a problem.

Got this in an e-mail.... If they work it's worth passing on. Did You Know That? Drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache pain almost immediately -- without the unpleasant side effects caused by traditional "pain relievers." Did you know that Colgate toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns.

Forget those expensive rust removers. Just saturate an abrasive sponge with Coca Cola and scrub the rust stain. The phosphoric acid in the coke is what gets the job done. Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer... If menacing bees, wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find the insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409. Insects drop to the ground instantly. Smart splinter remover...just pour a drop of Elmer's Glue-All over the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the s kin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue. Hunt's tomato paste boil cure....cover the boil with Hunt's tomato paste as a compress.

All it takes is a few drops of Wesson corn oil in your cat's ear. Massage it in, then clean with a cotton ball. Repeat daily for 3 days. The oil soothes the cat's skin, smothers the mites, and accelerates healing. Quaker Oats for fast pain relief....It's not for breakfast anymore! Mix 2 cups of Quaker Oats and 1 cup of water in a bowl and warm in the microwave for 1 minute, cool slightly, and apply the mixture to your hands for soothing relief from arthritis pain.

I would definitely say that I admire people that are open and honest. I would rather have people give me an honest answer, even if it might be something I don't want to hear, than to be dishonest with me. When I look back on friends that I have had for the longest, I find that all have been very open and honest.

What a beautiful way to help us remember what's really important. Thanks so much for sharing.

Don, I know this must have all been very hard for you. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. You are always such a comfort to all of us here on the board and I know that we will all feel good, knowing you're still here with us. I know that you will keep us in your prayers.

What is the one personality trait that you admire most in others? Why?

I love this...lol!!! Being a Tennessee redneck (and proud of it) I can definitely relate...lol!

Hand Wipes

I'm surprised that I got it right. The first penny was my gut instinct and I almost didn't choose that one.

Geri...thanks for reminding me of the date. I think I have put the wrong date on everything I have written at work today. You're a lifesaver!!! My favorite donut is Krispy Kreme plain glazed donut. I can usually get them here when they're piping hot and they just melt in your mouth. I'm so glad we have a KK shop here now. When I lived in Knoxville, KK was a big thing there. It took a while for them to get to Florida.

Thought this one might be fun....especially for the guys, as they think women carry EVERYTHING in their purses. OK...I'll start. A .......Altoids (mints)

Good morning friends. I was so hungry this morning and couldn't pass up the opportunity to stop this morning on the way to work and grab a donut. We all know what Frank's favorite type of donut is but what kind do the rest of you like??? So, the GTKY question for today is...... What's your very favorite kind of donut???
