Are there any dog breeds that you are afraid of?

Val...you're the greatest thing since "sliced bread!" I know your Mom is beaming with pride and telling all the other angels about her sweet angel of a daughter!!!

Red Hair, huge blue eyes and very fair skin.

I would really like to "bop" my co-worker, Keith on the head this morning...lol! He's the lucky one that left us for vacation this week. It's going to be crazy here in the office for a week!!!

These were taken a week ago. Notice the little red bump...her first boo-boo. She's pulling herself up by holding on to anything and everything. This time, it was the bookcase and some books tumbled out.

Who would you be hitting on the head , if that were a real person in the middle? (Could be anyone ,dead or alive..family or someone you just heard about)

(((((((((((Michele))))))))))) Your post made my eyes fill with tears. I can so feel your pain. As a new grandmother, Ella has given me the new desire to live a ve ry long time. When I lost Dennis, I really never thought there would be a "reason" to continue on. My heart is breaking for you!!!

For this board....I would definitely sign my name. I believe katie and Rick are fair and open minded enough to allow any constructive criticism...should there ever be any...LOL! They do such a great job, there is never a need to complain.

Da Complaint Department.... If you were going to write a 'letter to da boss of this board concerning a topic you feel strongly about, would you make it anonymous?

Since no one else answered this one...I thought I'd give it a try My boss - "Take A Walk On The Wild Side" My Job - "Here's Your Sign" My Neighbors - The Odd Couple My Best Friend - "Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground" My neighborhood - Nightmare On Elm Street

Teri...I am so very sorry for your loss. I will be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers.

I like to go mid-week, after the sale flyers have come out in the paper. Also, I like to hit the stores in the evening, when the after-work rush has slowed down. I also find that lots of new things are being stocked in the evening.

What a cutie!!! Aren't grandbabies just the most wonderful thing? Ella and her mom and dad are on vacation this week, so Grandma is lost!!! Can't wait for them to get home.

Do you have a favorite or special day of the week or time of the day you like to do your grocery shopping?

The other day my neighbor, who is blonde, came running up to me in the driveway just jumping for joy! I didn't know why she was jumping for joy but I thought, what the heck, and I starting jumping up and down along with her. She said, "I have some really great news!" I said, "Great. Tell me why you're so happy." She stopped jumping and, breathing heavily from all the jumping up and down, told me that she was pregnant! I knew that she had been trying for a while so I told her, "That's great! I couldn't be happier for you!" Then she said, "There's more." I asked, "What do you mean 'more'?" She said, "Well, we are not having just one baby. We are going to have TWINS!" Amazed at how she could know so soon after getting pregnant, I asked her how she knew. She said... "Well, that was the easy part. I went to Wal-Mart and they actually had a home pregnancy kit in a twin-pack. Both tests came out positive!

Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says: "Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?" Slim says, "I feel just like a newborn baby." "Really!? Like a newborn baby!?" "Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants."

Tom was in his early 50's, retired and started a second career. However, he just couldn't seem to get to work on time Every day, 5, 10, 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, real sharp, so the Boss was in a quandary about how to deal with it. Finally, one day he called him into the office for a talk. "Tom, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang-up job, but you're being late so often is quite bothersome.' "Yes, I know Boss, and I am working on it." "Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like to hear. It's odd though, you're coming in late. I know you're retired from the Air Force. What did they say if you came in late there?" "They said, "Good morning, General."

This could be fun if we all participate. Name either a movie or song that describes each of the following: Your boss (former if retired) Your job (former if retired) Your neighbors Your best friend Your neighborhood

Although my boys love it, I have to admit that I have never tried it. Like others, I just can't get past the point of eating anything "raw." And, fish isn't my favorite food to begin with so the thought of raw fish is really repulsive for me. I have tried California Roll and like that.

Do you like sushi???

A 3 Minute Management Course Lesson One: An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle & asked him, "Can I also sit like you & do nothing? The eagle answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it. Management Lesson: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up. Lesson Two: A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy." "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree. Management Lesson: Bull Sh** might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there. Lesson Three: A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him. Management Lesson: (1) Not everyone who sh**s on you is your enemy. (2) Not everyone who gets you out of sh** is your friend. (3) And when you're in deep sh**, it's best to keep your mouth shut! This ends your management course.

I love garage sales and auctions. I'm kinda "ify" about flea markets anymore, as it seems the ones around here just buy cheap junk in bulk and resell it. I'm usually not looking for anything in particular and love it when I find a special "treasure." I have found some really nice antique pieces a few times.

HOW TO INSTALL A HOME SECURITY SYSTEM 1. Go to a second-hand store and buy a pair of men's used size 14-16 work boots. 2. Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Guns and Ammo magazine and some NRA magazines. 3. Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazine. 4. Leave a note on your door that reads: Hey Bubba, Big Jim, Duke and Slim, I went for more ammunition. Back in an hour. Don't mess with the pit bulls - they attacked the mailman this morning and messed him up real bad. I don't think Killer took part in it but it was hard to tell from all the blood. Anyway, I locked all four of 'em in the house. Better wait outside. ....Gino

You Know You're Addicted To Coffee When... You're employee of the month at the local coffee house and you don't even work there. Your eyes stay open when you sneeze. You don't sweat, you percolate. You walk twenty miles on the treadmill before you realize it's unplugged. Your birthday is a national holiday in Brazil. You name your cats Cream and Sugar. You haven't blinked since the last lunar eclipse. You grind your coffee beans in your mouth. You sleep with your eyes open. You have to watch videos in fast-forward. The only time you're standing still is during an earthquake. You've worn out your third pair of tennis shoes this week. You're so jittery that people use your hands to blend their margaritas. You can type sixty words per minute......with your feet. You can jump-start your car without cables. You forget to unwrap candy bars before eating them. You've built a miniature city out of little plastic stirrers. People get dizzy just watching you. Instant coffee takes too long. You channel surf faster without a remote. You have a picture of your coffee mug on your coffee mug. You can outlast the Energizer bunny. You short out motion detectors. You don't even wait for the water to boil anymore. Your nervous twitch registers on the Richter scale. You help your dog chase its tail. Your first-aid kit contains two pints of coffee with an I.V. hookup. You ski uphill. You get a speeding ticket even when you're parked. You answer the door before people knock.
