Ann

I am grateful for all of our dear friends from this board that touched our lives but are no longer physically with us. I hope they realized just what an impact their strength and perseverence had on so many lives!

ROLF, Jackie!!! I have a friends that are on our city council and I can't wait to share this with them!!!

What is your favorite sandwich and what kind of bread/rolls do you prefer to use for it?

Short Story ... Man driving down road. Woman driving up same road. They pass by each other. The woman yells out the window, PIG! Man yells back out window, witch! Man rounds next curve. Crashes into a huge pig in middle of road and dies. Thought for The Day: If only men would listen.

Like Kasey, I have been putting off more projects than I care to mention. But, the one simple little thing that I can't seem to get done is putting together a log of all my computer favorite sites and logons and passwords. This would only take me about an hour to complete but it's just so hard to get started!

I'm grateful that I have my home. It's so sad to hear of all the people that are losing their homes to foreclosure right now. My heart just goes out to them.

Jim, I am so very sorry for your loss. I believe you did everything in your power to make things as easy as possible for your friend. Unfortunately, illness and death often seem to bring out the absolute worst in families. Please don't feel that this doesn't happen to others, as it does. You can go to sleep at night with a peaceful mind, knowing you did everything you possibly could to help Ron.

Git er done..... What task or project you have that you have been procrastinating about for a long time?

I'll be saying prayers for your Dad.

Yes, Larry, I absolutely do. The first time I saw a "ghost" was just after my oldest son was born. We had just brought him home from the hospital. I was spending a few days at my mom's house. His bassinet was right beside my bed. I woke up during the night to feed him, and there was my grandmother, who passed away when I was 5, standing over the bassinet with a big smile on her face. She said nothing, just smiled and then exited the room, going through the wall. The next morning, I told my mom about this and even described what my grandmother was wearing. My mom looked as if she was going to pass out. She told me that the outfit I described was what my grandmother was buried in. I am able to recall nothing about my grandmothers funeral or any details. Since that occurence, I have had many experiences with departed freinds and family. For a time, Dennis appeared to me but now, I just have little happenings but feel his presence in the house often. Dennis was a ham radio fanatic. He could transmit Morse Code at a lightening speed. I was in the tub the other night and heard Morse Code coming through the A/C vent in my bathroom. My son said he has also heard Morse Code. I just wish we could translate it!!!

Today, I'm grateful for a lot of "F" words, like....Family, Friends, Friday, Faith and Fun!!!

I've never had TP caught on my shoe but did have it hanging out of my dress once. I was wearing panty hose and somehow managed to pull up a piece of TP with my panty hose. It was handing out under my dress. Thank goodness that Dennis saw it before anyone else did and was able to rush me back into the ladies room.

I'll be thinking of you this weekend.

OK....19 more to go before I post the answers.

Don't ya love this???? I've read this before but seem to always laugh out loud everytime I read it!!! So, thank you, Jackie, for making me laugh this morning. It's finally Friday, I'm exhausted and thought nothing could make me laugh today!

Today, I'm really tired because it's been one hell of a week at work!!!

I'm thankful that God allows us the ability somehow see the sun shining through in our lives, even when dark clouds seem to be rolling in.

AT ATLANTA SHELTER, VICK JERSEYS ARE GOING TO THE DOGS Atlanta (AP) - To the people who once owned them, the bright red jerseys with the bold No. 7 emblem zoned on them may have been symbols of a former sports hero they felt had let them down. At the Atlanta Humane Society, they've become a surprise source of animal bedding or, even more likely rags to help scrub up the messes that dogs leave behind. About a dozen donated Atlanta Falcons football jerseys bearing the name and number of quarterback Michael Vick have arrived in the email at the shelter since the superstar was indicted last month on federal dogfighting charges. Vick's lawyer said Monday that he plans to plead guilty in the case next week. The charges include claims that he backed a dogfighting operation run from a farm he owns in Virginia, gambled thousands of dollars on bloody fights and took part in shooting, hanging, drowning or electrocuting dogs that lost fights or didn't show enough aggressive spirit. Atlanta Humane Society spokeswoman, P.J. Smith said staffers were surprised when former Vick fans started mailing in the jerseys - often accompanied with financial contributions to the society and letters of outrage over the charges. "Its wonderful to see the public support and in a very unique way," Smith said. She said the jerseys are being used just like any donation of a towel or blanket would be - as bedding or to clean up the kennels. "Kind of appropriate," said Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States. Parcelle said the national group has seen a spike in support since the charges against Vick first became public. More than 300,000 messages were sent through the Humane Society's Web Site urging NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to ban Vick and nearly 200,000 were sent to Nike, which has since suspended a lucrative endorsement deal with Vick and pulled his products off of shelves. The only other wave of support for the Humane Society comparable to the Vick outcry was the response after Hurricane Katrina left thousands of animals homeless, Pacelle said. "(Dogfighting) is an issue we have known was very big in the country and growing in certain areas, but the public felt it was a solved issue," he said, "People now know that the battle is not over." Like other Humane Societies branches, Smith said the Atlanta Shelter has received thousands" of letters and emails from across the country. But sitting just blocks away the the Georgia Dome, where Vick once dazzled fans with his on-field moves, she said the batch of N0. 7s from disatified Vick fans is probably unique. For Rocky, a brown Labrador retriever mix waiting at the Atlanta Humane Society for a permanent home, one of the jerseys was being used to line his bed Monday. "It's his security blanket," said P.J. Smith, a spokeswoman for the Humane Society chapter. "He's still a puppy and he's grown quite attached to it."

Not a good thing for me to have done first thing in the morning...lol! http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm

There was a Preacher whose wife was expecting a baby, so he went before the congregation and asked for a raise. After much discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the Preachers family expanded, so would his paycheck. After six children, this started to get expensive and the congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the Preachers salary. There was a lot of yelling and bickering about how much the clergymans additional children was costing the church. Finally the Preacher got up and spoke to the croud. "Children are a gift from God" he said and silence fell on the congregation. In the back pew, a little old lady stood up and in her frail voice said, "Rain is a gift from God, but when we get too much of it,we wear rubbers." And the congegation said "Amen"

Fill in the blanks..... Today, I'm really ______________because ___________.
