The Original Computer...

 

 
 
 
 
Memory was something you lost with age
An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity

A keyboard was a piano
A web was a spider's home
A virus was the flu
A CD was a bank account

A hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived

And
if you had a 3-1/2 inch floppy ...
. . . you just hoped nobody ever found out!
 
 
 
TGIF! 
Have a wonderful weekend - see you on Monday. 
I'll be sharing some thoughts on traveling to Holland ...

Please click on this link - it is fun, it is G-rated, it is harmless and I dare you, no I double dare you, not to laugh ...  I'll bet you won't be able to keep a straight face ....

Warning - new gang activity ...

 

Police are urging visitors to the city's downtown area to be especially vigilant for a new gang operating a slick routine that is aimed at stealing from unwary persons. They say that the gang usually comprises four members. 

While the three younger ones, all appearing to be cute and innocent, divert their "mark" (or intended target) with a show of friendliness and fun, the fourth - the eldest of this gang of criminals - sneaks in from behind the person's back to expertly rifle undetected through their pockets and bags for any valuables being carried.

The picture below was taken in the inner city and shows the gang in operation:
   

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hee hee

TGIF - hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!  Be sure and take some time to appreciate those who are important in your life - you never know what the future holds so be sure to give all the hugs, love, and appreciation you can NOW!  Go ahead... what are you waiting for?

hugs - Molly

Eggs for breakfast anyone?

 
A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband.  
 
Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen.
 
"Careful," he said, "CAREFUL!
Put in some more butter!
Oh my GOD! 
You're cooking too many at once.
TOO MANY!
Turn them!
TURN THEM NOW!
We need more butter.
Oh my GOD!
WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER?
They're going to STICK!
Careful .
CAREFUL!
I said be CAREFUL!
You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking!
Never!
Turn them!
Hurry up!
Are you CRAZY?
Have you LOST your mind?
Don't forget to salt them.
You know you always forget to salt them.
Use the salt. 
USE THE SALT!
THE SALT!"
 
 
The wife stared at him.
 
"What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?"
 
The husband calmly replied,
 
"I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving."

Hope everyone has a lovely Friday!  We (on the East Coast) are just hoping for some warmer weather this weekend!  I could have sworn someone said it was Spring.  Guess we forget to mention that to Mother Nature...

Winter Help ...

 
During a winter snow storm a trucker stoped for a red light, a blonde driving in the car behind him stops her car and jumps out, runs up to his truck, and knocks on the window.  The trucker lowers the window with a smile - wondering what is wrong.  She smiles back and says "Hi, my name is Heather and you're losing some of your load." with that she turns and gets back into her car.  The trucker shakes his head, ignores her and proceeds down the street.

When the truck stops for another red light, the girl catches up again. She jumps out of her car, runs up and knocks on  the door. Again, the trucker lowers the window. As if they've never spoken,the blonde says brightly, "Hi, my name is Heather, and you're losing some of your load!".  She again turns and gets back into her car.  Shaking his head, the trucker ignores her again and continues down the street.

At the third red light, the same thing  happens again.  All out of breath, the blonde gets out of her car, runs up, knocks on the truck door. The trucker rolls down the window. Again she says  "Hi, my name is Heather, and you're losing some of your load!"
 
When  the light turns green, the trucker revs up and races to the next light.  When he stops this time, he hurriedly gets out of the truck, and runs  back to the blonde. He knocks on her window, and after she lowers it, he says....
 
        Ready for this? .....
 
 
"Hi, my name is Kevin. It's winter, it's snowing AND I'm driving the SALT TRUCK!"

Dogs & Cats

 
Excerpts from a Dog's diary:

8:00 am Dog food! My favorite thing!
9:00 am A car ride! My favorite thing!
9:40 am A walk in the park! My favorite thing!
10:30 am Got rubbed and petted! My favorite thing!
12:00 pm Lunch treats! My favorite thing!
1:00 pm Played in the yard! My favorite thing!
3:00 pm Got to chew on my Kong toy! My favorite thing!
5:00 pm Milk bones! My favorite thing!
7:00 pm Got to play ball! My favorite thing!
8:00 pm Watched TV with my master! My favorite thing!
11:00 pm Sleeping on the couch! My favorite thing!

Excerpts from a Cat's diary:

It's day 683 of my captivity.  My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.   They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates are fed hash or  some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. 

In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the floor.  Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet.   I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly  demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending  comments about "what a good little hunter" I am. The audacity!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies". I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.  Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- this time at the top of the stairs.
 
I am convinced that  the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released and seems more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. The captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe.....  
 
.... for now.....

The Cowboy Boots

 
(Anyone who has ever dressed a child will love this)
 
Did you hear about the Texas teacher who was helping 0ne of her kindergarten students put on his cowboy boots?
He asked for help and she could see why.   Even with her pulling and him pushing, the little boots still didn't want to go on. By the time they got the second boot on, she had worked up a sweat.
 
She almost cried when the little boy said, "Teacher, they're on the wrong feet."  She looked, and sure enough, they were.   It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as, together, they worked to get the boots back on, this time on the right feet.
 
He then announced, "These aren't my boots."
 
She bit her tongue, rather than get right in his face and scream, "Why didn't you say so?", like she wanted to.  Once again she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off  his little feet.  No sooner had they gotten the boots off when he said, "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear 'em."
 
Now she didn't know if she should laugh or cry. But she mustered up what grace and courage she had left to wrestle the boots on his feet again. Helping him into his coat, she asked, "Now, where are your mittens?"  He said, "I stuffed 'em in the toes of my boots."
 
She will be eligible for parole in three years.

latest casualty of e coli

 
 
 
*chuckle*chuckle*
 
Hi all!  I'm back.  Actually I've been back but some times life (as in county fairs, work, home, laundery, your son's cross country meets, basketball practice, basketball try outs and family get togethers) can get in the way of your blogging.. BUT I have missed "talking" to everyone and hearing how everyone is doing.  Hershey was WONDERFUL .. lots of fun!  Now it's back to "reality"! LOL
 
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.  Ours will be a busy one.  Saturday I'm going to a lovely little British store on the shore with my sister-in-law.  We go once a year to stock up on supplies and then have lunch at a darling little tea house.  I'm so looking forward to it.  Sunday will be going to check out the RV we are renting in a couple months for our road trip to Disney (Thanksgiving time) and then to attend a volunteer appreciation carnival for some volunteer work I do in my spare time... but the whole family is invited and the kids are very excited about it.
 
And what about you?  Any weekend plans?

Why did the chicken cross the road?

 
 
GEORGE W BUSH
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

COLIN POWELL
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.

HANS BLIX
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

JOHN KERRY
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it!

RALPH NADAR
The chicken's habitat on the other side of the road had been polluted by unchecked industrial greed. The chicken did not reach the unspoiled habitat on the other side of the road because it was crushed by the wheels of a gas-guzzling SUV.

PAT BUCHANAN
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

RUSH LIMBAUGH
I don't know why the chicken crossed the road, but I'll bet it was getting a government grant to cross the road, and I'll bet that somebody out there is already forming a support group to help chickens with crossing-the-road syndrome. Can you believe this?!? How much more of this can real Americans take? Chickens crossing the road paid for by their tax dollars. And when I say tax dollars, I'm talking about your money, the government took from you to build a road for chickens to cross.

MARTHA STEWART
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

DR SEUSS
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
 
ERNEST HEMINGWAY
To die in the rain. Alone.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR
I dream of a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.

GRANDPA
In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heartwarming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.

JOHN LENNON
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together - in peace.

ARISTOTLE
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

KARL MARX
It was an historic inevitability.

CAPTAIN KIRK
To boldly go where no chicken has ever gone before.

SIGMUND FREUD
The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.

BILL GATES
I have just witnessed eChicken2003, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook. Internet explorer is an integral part of chicken.

ALBERT EINSTEIN
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?

AL GORE
I invented the chicken!

COLONEL SANDERS
Did I miss one?
 
TGIF!  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend full of laughter & long relaxing hours!  We're off to the ball game (weather permitting) .. Both of the boys teams are playing .. Mets vs Dodgers!  Should be fun!  See you on Monday.

Return of Friday Funnies!

 So you think you are smart, aye? 
 
Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them instantly.
You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately. OK?
 
 
 
Let's find out just how clever you really are....
 
Ready? GO!!!
 
First Question:
 
You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?
(scroll down when you are ready to check your answer)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are ...
 
 
 
 
absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!
 
Try not to screw up next time.
 
Now answer the second question, but don't take as much time as you took for the first question, OK?
 
 
Second Question:
 
If you overtake the last person, then you are...?
 
(scroll down)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are ...
 
 
 
 
...  wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?
 
 
 
 
You're not very good at this, are you?
 
 
 
 
Third Question:
 
Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only.
Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.
 
 
 
 
Take 1000 and add 40 to it.
Now add another 1000.
Now add 30.
Add another 1000.
Now add 20.
Now add another 1000!
Now add 10.
What is the total?
 
(Scroll down for answer.....)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Did you get 5000?
 
 
 
 The correct answer is actually 4100.
 
If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!
 
Today is definitely not your day, is it?  Maybe you'll get the last question right....
 
....Maybe.
 
 
 
Fourth Question:
Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini,  4. Nono.
What is the name of the fifth daughter?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Did you Answer Nunu?
 
Then you are .. 
 
...wrong!
 
Of course it isn't.
Her name is Mary. Read the question again!
 
 
Okay, now the bonus round:
 
 
A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
 
Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
He just has to open his mouth and ask...
 
 
What?  Don't tell me you missed that one too?! 
 
 
Well at least you got a laugh out of it, right?  And now you can copy and send it along to some friends who may think they are smart.  See how they do!  And then laugh at them.. (hee hee)
 
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend full of laughter & love.

painting the porch

A ditzy blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do.

"Well, I do ned my proch painted. How much will you charge?"
The ditzy blonde, tilted her head and twirled the end of her long blond hair between her fingers and said, "Um, how about 50 dollars?"
The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?"  The man replied, "She should. She was standing right on the porch and should be able to see it goes right the way around."

A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
"You're finished already?" he asked.
 "Yes," the blonde answered smiling, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats.
"Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50.
"Oh, um, and by the way," the blonde said as she tilted her head and once again twirled her hair, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."

** Hope one and all has a wonderful weekend!  I just received "The Notebook" and "Rumour has it" so I think I'll be all set both evenings with some popcorn, a box of tissues, and my comfy sofa.  Anyone want to join me for a movie night?   I hope everyone has a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable weekend full of friends, family & a surprise or two mixed in.  KZ & Wally - how are you guys doing?  Where are you now in your journey?  **

friendship ...

Are you tired of those sissy "friendship" poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality?

Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship:

       1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry fool who made you sad.

       2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

       3. When you smile -- I will know you finally got .. well ... you know.. .

       4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get.

       5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining.

       6. When you are confused -- I will use little words and speak slowly.

       7. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.

       8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy butt.

Those are my promises ..... I pledge them to the end. 
"Why?" you may ask ... "because you are my friend".
 
And lastly remember these 2 things:
    1)   A good friend will help you move.  A REALLY good friend will help you move a body.
 
     2)  Friendship is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the true warmth.
 
~~ Hope all my friends out there have a wonderful weekend!  Try and do something especially fun ... just because!  ~~

~ TOUGH LOVE vs SPANKING ~

Lately there is a wide spread belief that it is improper or not right to spank your child when he/she is misbehaving.  So, I have been trying other methods to control my kids when they are having "one of those moments".
 
One method I have found particularly successful is to just take them for a car ride and talk.  They usually stop misbehaving and calm right down after our ride.
 
I've included a photo of one of our car ride sessions just in case you would like to try this method yourself. 
 
 
Let me know if it works...

a little chuckle as we end another week ..

Just getting older doesn't mean you can't be a quick thinker...........


A senior citizen in Florida bought a brand new Corvette convertible. He took off down the road, flooring it to 80 mph and enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left on his head.

"This is great," he thought as he roared up I-75. He pushed the pedal to the metal even more. Then he looked in his rear view mirror and saw a highway patrol trooper behind him, blue lights flashing and siren blaring.

"I can get away from him with no problem" thought the man and he tromped it some more and flew down the road at over 100 mph. Then 110, 120 mph.  Then he thought, "What! am I doing? I'm too old for this kind of thing." He pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the trooper to catch up with him.

The trooper pulled in behind the Corvette and walked up to the man.  "Sir," he said, looking at his watch. "My shift ends in 10 minutes and today is Friday. If you can give me a reason why you were speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."

The man looked at the trooper and said, "Years ago my wife ran off with a Florida State Trooper, and I thought you were bringing her back"

"Have a good day, Sir," said the Trooper.

What day is it?

Oh my gosh, what a night we had at the Bucket of Blood.  I'm only now poking my head out from under my bed..  how I got under my bed I'm entirely not sure.  *sigh*  What day is it?  What time is it?  What is making that loud banging noise?  Oh.. it's my clock ticking down the time.  *sigh*  Gotta go find that stuff Jess sent over.  She swears it helps with hang-overs.  And if anyone ever see Cheryl out drinking - let me warn you ahead of time not to challenge her to the old British drinking game of "see who can drink the most" ...  trust me on this one.  I have to go and see if Paul needs help raising money to get Rooster back home.  I hear he is some 2000 miles away ...  I guess I should be thankful I only ended up under my bed!
 
Before I go .. here is a little Friday Funny (but please don't laugh too loud) ..
 
On their honeymoon the blond bride slipped into the sexiest nightie she could find.  With great anticipation she crawled into bed next to her new husband.  Snuggling up to him she was surprised when he rolled over and had his back to her.  "Honey" she said "What's wrong?  It's our honeymoon night, aren't you going to make love to me?".  "Sorry", came his reply "It's Lent".   The blond bride was now in tears.  "What do you mean?  That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!!  Who did you lend it to and for how long?!?"

my favorite sweater

Man, what a week this has been.  On Monday I was having lunch at an Italian restaurant when I accidentally spilled some spaghetti sauce on my absolutely favorite white sweater.  I'm sure you have a smiliar type sweater.  The one that you just love, that makes you feel good every time you wear it .. that you save for special occassions or times when you need a little pick-me-up.  What a start to the week, my favorite sweater with a not so lovely red stain right in the middle of it.

After a small melt down I was able to calm myself with the thought that Mr. Wong down on High Street, who has been doing my laundry for years, would know how to remove it because he could remove just about any stain and make the clothing look brand new.

So I took the sweater down to Wong's Laundry and dropped it off; Mr. Wong said he'd probably be able to have it cleaned by Wednesday. So on Wednesday afternoon after work I stopped by Wong's again.  Mr. Wong looked quite distressed when he saw me. He brought out the sweater and, apologizing profusely, explained that somehow this stain was beyond even his power to expunge.  And sure enough, though fainter than before, there was still a distinct red stain on the sweater.
 
In an attempt to make up for what he considered to be his failure, Mr. Wong offered to send the sweater to his brother across town, who had been in the laundry business even longer then he had been, and who might have a clue as to the method of removal of this extraordinarily persistent stain.

The elder Wong brother would rush it through at no extra charge, and should have it looking as white and clean as new in a days time. So today I went back to Wong's to pick up my sweater, but when I arrived, Mr. Wong regretfully informed me that his brother, too, had failed to remove the red blotch. "No charge," said Wong, and suggested I try another cleaner in hopes they might be able to clean it.

*sigh* and that was how I came to learn that two Wongs cannot make a white.
 
TGIF everyone - and be careful! 
Saturday is April Fools day - watch out for pranks so you aren't made a fool!

One day an enterprising journalist who wanted to make a name for himself told all the people he worked with at the newspaper that he had decided to photograph the ghost that was supposedly haunting a spooky old house at the edge of town.  Everyone laughed at him, saying he wouldn't be able to stay 2 minutes in the house before being scared away.  The journalist assured everyone that there was no way anything could scare him and he would prove how talented he was by going out to the house that very night and bringing in the pictures he took the very next morning!

That night, as darkness fell he drove to the closed up haunted house.  He took a deep breath, armed with only his camera, and walked through the creaking front door into a dark & spooky room.  The ghost quickly snuck up on him, moaning, groaning, wailing and clanking chains.
 
The journalist was quite scared but resisted the urge to turn and run out.  "I mean no harm; I just want your photograph," the journalist said bravely.

Pleased at this chance to make headlines and finally be known, the ghost posed for a number of scary and spooky shots.  The happy journalist rushed back to his darkroom and began developing the photos.  Unfortunately, they turned out to be so underexposed that nothing could be seen in them at all. 
 
The journalist looked at the dark pictures realizing he now had nothing to take back to the newspaper with him in the morning.  Distraught he went to a local pub to drown his sorrows. The bartender could tell something was up and asked him what was wrong. 
Not wanting to get into the whole story he let out a heavy sigh and told him how he had braved going to the haunted house to take pictures of a ghost.  The bartender laughed and said "and when you got there the ghost wasn't to be found, aye?".
 
The journalist shook his head, downed his drink and explained how that was not the case at all.  "No", he told the bartender with a sigh, "the spirit was willing, but the flash was weak."
