  1. Don - You two are amazing - reminds me of a few other amazing couples I know - you all know who you are :wink: . Glad she got some new clothes - always makes me feel good! Bless both of you and your beautiful spirits!

    Much Love,

    Amy

  2. Double Congratulations Heather! Clean scans are awesome - will take those any day. But you and snowflake can have the puppies - mine are both 2 and think they are still puppies and lap dogs (we have a great dane/lab mix and a pointer mutt mix). Cheers for the great news!

    Much Love,

    Amy

  3. We found out today that a 4th grader in the school where my husband teaches (and my kids attend) was diagnosed with a disease called RDS (I think). It is a degenerative disease similar to Lou Gherig's. Over the summer this little boy completely lost his hearing and the sight in one eye. As with Lou Gherig's this disease is terminal and they do not expect him to make it through the school year. I know it goes without saying but please pray for Max and his family and friends. This is tough :cry:

    Much love to you all!

    But fart just one time...

  7. Miss Bea was in her eighties, and much admired for her sweetness and kindness to all.

    The pastor came to call on her one afternoon in the spring, and she welcomed him into her Victorian parlor.

    She invited him to have a seat while she prepared a little tea.

    As he sat facing her old pump organ, the young minister noticed a cut glass bowl sitting on top of it, filled with water.

    In the water floated, of all things, a condom.

    Imagine his shock and surprise.

    Imagine his curiosity!

    Surely Miss Bea had flipped or something...!

    When she returned with tea and cookies, they began to chat.

    The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him, and he could resist no longer.

    "Miss Bea," he said, "I wonder if you would tell me about this?"(Pointing to the bowl)

    “Oh, yes,” she replied, "Isn't it wonderful? I was walking downtown last fall and I found this little package. The directions said to put it on the organ, keep it wet, and it would prevent disease. And you know...I didn’t have a cold all winter. God is good.”

  8. This is one of my favorites....could have been me - back in the day :lol:

    The other night I was invited out for a night with "the girls".

    I told my husband that I would be home by midnight ... "I promise!"

    Well, the hours passed and the beer was going down way too easy.

    Around 3 a.m., drunk as a skunk, I headed for home. Just as I

    got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and

    cuckooed 3 times. Quickly, realizing he'd probably wake up,

    I Cuckooed another 9 times.

    I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a

    quick-witted solution (even when smashed), in order to escape a

    possible conflict with my husband.

    The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, and I

    told him 12 o'clock.

    He didn't seem disturbed at all. Whew! Got away with that one!

    Then he said "We need a new cuckoo clock." When I asked him why,

    he said, "Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then

    said, "OH SH_T!", cuckooed 4 more times, cleared it's throat, cuckooed

    another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then farted."

  9. 1. CURL UP AND DIE:

    I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three

    kids in tow and asked loudly, "How much do you charge

    for a shampoo and a blow job?" - Melinda Lowe, 39,

    Sequin, TX

    2. PAD PLEASE:

    An insurance man visited me at home to talk about our

    mortgage insurance. He was throwing a lot of facts and

    figures at me, and I wanted to follow as best I could,

    so I told my 6-year-old son to run and get me a pad.

    He came back and handed me a Kotex right in front of

    our guest. - Kate Newman, 46,Winston-Salem, NC

    3. HO, HO, HO:

    I was taking a shower when my 2-year-old son came into

    the bathroom and wrapped himself in toilet paper.

    Although he made a mess, he looked adorable, so I ran

    for my camera and took a few shots. They came out so

    well that I had copies made and included one with each

    of our Christmas cards. Days later, a relative called

    about the picture, laughing hysterically, and

    suggested I take a closer look. Puzzled, I stared

    at the photo and was shocked to discover that in

    addition to my son, I had captured my reflection in

    the mirror wearing nothing but a camera! - Name

    Withheld

    4. LADY GOLFER:

    I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of

    golf balls. I was unhappy with the women's type I had

    been using. After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works at the store. He asked if he could help me. Without thinking, looked at him and said, "I think I like playing with men's balls." - Colleen Collins, 31, Ferndale, MI

    5. NUTS ABOUT YOU:

    My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a

    store that sold a variety of nuts. As we were looking

    at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked

    if we needed any help. I replied, "No, I'm just

    looking at your nuts." My sister started to laugh hysterically, the boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away. To this day, my sister has never let me forget. - Faye Emerick, 34, Ellerslie, MD

    6. PRICELESS:

    I picked up several items at a discount store. When

    I finally got up to the checker, I learned that one of

    the items had no price tag. The checker got on the

    intercom and boomed out for all the store to hear:

    "PRICE CHECK ON LANE THIRTEEN, TAMPAX, SUPER SIZE."

    That was bad enough, but somebody at the rear of the

    store apparently misunderstood the word "Tampax" for "THUMBTACKS." In a business-like tone, a voice boomed back over the intercom. "DO YOU WANT THE KIND YOU PUSH IN WITH YOUR THUMB OR THE KIND YOU POUND IN WITH A HAMMER?" - Jan Bobsone, Jacksonville, Fl.

    7. MOM'S ADVICE:

    A teacher noticed that a little boy at the back of the

    class was squirming around, scratching his crotch and

    not paying attention. She went back to find out what

    was going on. He was quite embarrassed and whispered

    that he had just recently been circumcised and he was

    quite itchy. The teacher told him to go down to the principal's office. He was to phone his mother and ask her what he should do about it. He did it and returned to his class. Suddenly, there was a commotion at the back of the room. She went back to investigate only to find him sitting at his desk with his penis hanging out. "I thought I told you to call your mom." She screamed. "I did." He said, "And she told me that if I could stick it out 'till noon, she'd come and pick me up from school

  10. Only Men would do this...

    Two gas company servicemen, a senior training

    supervisor and a young trainee, were out checking

    meters in a suburban neighborhood. They parked

    their truck the end of the alley and worked their

    way to the other end. At the last house, a woman

    looking out her kitchen window watched the two men

    as they checked her gas meter.

    Finishing the meter check, the senior supervisor

    challenged his younger coworker to a foot race down

    the alley back to the truck to prove that an older

    guy could outrun a younger one.

    As they came running up to the truck, they realized

    the lady from that last house was huffing and puffing

    right behind them. They stopped and asked her what

    was wrong.

    Gasping for breath, she replied, "When I see two men

    from the gas company running as hard as you two were,

    I figured I'd better run too!"

  12. Two married buddies are out drinking one night when one turns to the other and says, "You know, I don't know what else to do. Whenever I go home after we've been out drinking, I turn the headlights off before I get to the driveway. I shut off the engine and coast into the garage. I take my shoes off before I go into the house, I sneak up the stairs, I get undressed in the bathroom. I ease into bed and my wife STILL wakes up and yells at me for staying out so late!"

    His buddy looks at him and says, "Well, you're obviously taking the wrong approach. I screech into the driveway, slam the door, storm up the steps, throw my shoes into the closet, jump into bed, slap her on the butt and say, 'You as horny as I am?' . . . and, she always acts like she's sound asleep!"

  13. This is dedicated to all women everywhere who have ever had to deal with a public toilet. And it finally explains to all you men what takes us so long.

    PSYCHIC TOILETSby Donna Gephart, Palm Beach Gardens, FL.2nd place in 2001 THE MONA SCHREIBER PRIZE FOR HUMOROUS FICTION & NONFICTION

    My mother was a fanatic about public toilets. As a little girl, she'd bring me in the stall, teach me to wad up toilet paper and wipe the seat. Then, she'd carefully lay strips of toilet paper to cover the seat. Finally, she'd instruct, "Never, never sit on a public toilet seat." And she'd demonstrate "The Stance," which consisted of balancing over the toilet in a sitting position without actually letting any of your flesh make contact with the toilet seat. But by this time, I'd have peed down my leg. And we'd go home.

    That was a long time ago. I've had lots of experience with public toilets since then, but I'm still not particularly fond of public toilets, especially those with power! ful, red-eye sensors. Those toilets know when you want them to flush. They are psychic toilets. But I always confuse their psychic ability by following my mother's advice and assuming The Stance.

    The Stance is excruciatingly difficult to maintain when one's bladder is especially full. This is most likely to occur after watching a full-length feature film. During the movie pee, it is nearly impossible to hold The Stance. You know what I mean. You drink a two liter cup of Diet Coke, then sit still through a three-hour saga because, for God's sake, even if you didn't wipe or wash your hands in the bathroom, you'd still miss the pivotal part of the movie or the second scene, in which they flash the leading man's naked derriere. So, you cross your legs and you hold it. And you hold it until that first credit rolls and you sprint to the bathroom, about ready to explode all over your internal organs. And at the bathroom, you find a line of women that makes you think there's a half-! price sale on Mel Gibson's underwear in there. So, you wait and smile politely at all the other ladies, also crossing their legs and smiling politely. And you finally get closer.You check for feet under the stall doors. Every one is occupied. You hope no one is doing frivolous things behind those stall doors, like blowing her nose or checking the contents of her wallet.

    Finally, a stall door opens and you dash, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the stall. You get in to find the door won't latch. It doesn't matter. You hang your handbag on the door hook, yank down your pants and assume The Stance. Relief. More relief. Then your thighs begin to shake. You'd love to sit down but you certainly hadn't taken time to wipe the seat or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold The Stance as your thighs experience a quake that would register an eight on the Richter scale. To take your mind off it, you reach for the toilet paper.Might as well be ready when you are done. The toilet paper! dispenser is empty. Your thighs shake more. You remember the tiny napkin you wiped your fingers on after eating buttered popcorn. It would have to do. You crumble it in the puffiest way possible. It is still smaller than your thumbnail.Someone pushes open your stall door because the latch doesn't work and your pocketbook whams you in the head. "Occupied!" you scream as you reach out for the door, dropping your buttered popcorn napkin in a puddle and falling backward, directly onto the toilet seat. You get up quickly, but it's too late. Your bare bottom has made contact with all the germs and life forms on the bare seat because YOU never laid down toilet paper, not that there was any, even if you had enough time to. And your mother would be utterly ashamed of you if she knew, because her bare bottom never touched a public toilet seat because, frankly, "You don't know what kind of diseases you couldget." And by this time, the automatic sensor on the back of the toilet is so c! onfused that it flushes, sending up a stream of water akin to a fountain and then it suddenly sucks everything down with such force that you grab onto the toilet paper dispenser for fear of being dragged to China. At that point, you give up. You're finished peeing. You're soaked by the splashing water. You're exhausted. You try to wipe with a Chicklet wrapper you found in your pocket, then slink out inconspicuously to the sinks. You can't figure out how to operate the sinks with the automatic sensors, so you wipe your hands with spit and a dry paper towel and walk past a line of women, still waiting, cross-legged and unable to smile politely at this point. One kind soul at the very end of the line points out that you are trailing a piece of toilet paper on your shoe as long as the Mississippi River. You yank the paper from your shoe, plunk it in the woman's hand and say warmly, "Here. You might need this." At this time, you see your spouse, who has entered, used and exited h! is bathroom and read a copy of War and Peace while waiting for you.

    >

    >"What took you so long?" he asks, annoyed. This is when you kick him sharply in the shin and go home.

  14. Shelley -

    Don't know how I missed this - I agree with everyone else - I love the pic and what a sweet smile!!!! It is nice to put faces with names - once I get my roots done, maybe I'll put my mug up :)

    Much Love,

    Amy

  15. Curtis -

    How did you know that I was blonde :P - although not a true blond :D My defense is that I did understand the jokes but had to deduct from the men for a couple of groaners (Frank :lol: ) and had to add some bonus pts for the ladies...well just because we are special!

    Becky - Dig 'em up and let's show those boys who's funnier!

    Much Love to you all!!!

    Amy

  16. Connie -
