Betty you don't have to sign up on any of those, unless you purchase a hotel room or plane tickets or something. I use Orbitz.

That's the way I think, I have until I die, but it helps when there's longevity in the genes.

What didn't I buy at burpee. Burpee.com is Very Dangerous, I'm warning you all! I bought two packets of White Wedding Zennia seeds, two things to hold them upright, some Daisy's, and something else. What's really bad is on Midsouth we're passing around two boxes full of seeds, you can pull out what you want, but replace them with whatever just so the boxes don't go empty. What's really cool is they don't send them until it's time to plant them, that way I can't put them away in the unknown drawer and find them in the fall LOL Yes, I do that, with just about everything!

Hiya, Grand afternoon!!

Yep, wishing Gitagal an Enjoyable Birthday!

Wow the temp reached to 67!!!! Now there is something to Celebrate.
Worked in the yard, always picking up stuff...tried to empy the ash can but it is still frozen!

LOL, I even have the sun porch door open. So will continue to roam and pick up this and that.
Nothing like fresh air.

AHHH.

Betty, have a good class tonight.

My niece sent this to ME.The little squirt..LOL
Can't imagine Why..LOL

Hello To All;

Hello to the "Nightshift"!

Betty - tripadvisor.com is a free sight. I think they make people join now because originally they had problems with hotels and restaurants placing bogus reviews. This is a site where real people post reviews of hotels and restaurants, attractions, etc. I sorted hotels by price in Washington DC...just to see what it would come up with. Most of the top 10 were bad reviews....so please be careful if you go with a cheaper hotel that you are not in a bad location. There was a lot of crime while we visited. Your DG friends want you in a safe environment! I'm not sure about crime in D.C. but based on the time we spent there...it's something to consider.

Hello to my American Idol Friends! Well tonight was definitely "Idol Chatter" worthy, huh! Glad Meagan made it through and NOT Tatiana....

More later....

Mary
Baton Rouge, LA

Betty - PS: I D-mailed you my review from 6/2006's DC visit....

Well I'm here, if not to gab then just say hello and goodnight.. good class, lordy you'd not know I spent 2 hrs just giving color to horn of plenty, but that's the base so got to do what you got to do so my teacher says...

Paid her for some brushes for me and Darlene (Darlene's birthday is in 2 weeks) no sooner did that did I ask about the graphite photo class on Monday...funny, some days I realize I don't read well...signed up, had to purchase tonight special tools and container of numbered pencils...then had to pay for the course and for the project..project being $59.00..here I thought we simply got sketching paper but no, be get a fram and mat for the photo when we are done..it's Monday nights for 3 clases..don't mind paying but don't want to frame something that won't look like what I'm trying to sketch..lol..stick people are about my style...at least in drawing...

Tired so won't gab long, lots to say tomorrow...

Best..going out for lunch with everyone for my birthday
Worse...shucks was looking forward to that gardening boutique Linda told me about, pulled in at 5:10 and it closed at 5:00..always tomorrow...

NO/NO/NO that's not what was my worse..far from it..
We had a lady come in today, she's been a couple of times, owes $$$ because Mexico health system had treatments that she could get which would help her cancer...been ok for 5 years..was to go and get another but no funds, last month she found out it's back and with a vengence so here she was in the office, starting to file for bankruptcy so that when she passes on her estate won't be responsible for any of her debts...how sad..such a lovely lady...

What did I learn today? most likely NOT going to get the lady who we met with tonight to do my quilt..

Tell you all about it tomorrow...

night/night

No Night Shift Tonight..... so I couldn't resist:

SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
You give one to your neighbor.

COMMUNISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and gives you some milk.

FASCISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and sells you some milk.

NAZISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and shoots you.

BUREAUCRATISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away...

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.

SURREALISM

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows.
Later, you hire a consultant to analyze why the cow has dropped dead.

WALL ST VENTURE CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public then buys your bull.

A FRENCH CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You go on strike, organize a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows.

A JAPANESE CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'Cowkimon' and market it worldwide.

A RUSSIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You count them and learn you have five cows.

You count them again and learn you have 2 cows.
You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.

A SWISS CORPORATION
You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you.
You charge the owners for storing them.

A CHINESE CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You have 300 people milking them.
You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity.
You arrest the newsman who reported the real situation.

AN INDIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You worship them.

A BRITISH CORPORATION
You have two cows.
Both are mad.

AN IRAQI CORPORATION
Everyone thinks you have lots of cows.
You tell them that you have none.
No-one believes you, so they bomb you and invade your country.
You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a Democracy...

AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
Business seems pretty good.
You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate.

A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION
You have two cows.
The one on the left looks very attractive..........

4004 LOL

Great cooking advice from Martha & Maxine

Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of an ice cream cone to prevent ice cream drips.
Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake! You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it, anyway!

To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix. Keeps in the pantry for up to a year.

When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.
Go to the bakery! they'll even decorate it for you!

If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant 'fix-me-up.'
If you over-salt a dish while you are cooking, that's too bad. Please recite with me the real woman's motto: 'I made it, you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes!'

Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
Celery? Never heard of it!

Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust, so I don't.

Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink! All your pains go away!

Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.


Leftover wine??????????? HELLO!!!!!!!

Ya gotta love Maxine..LOL

Omg, Mary...
I gotta save that one.

And good one, Tubby. ^_^

Another one for you Sharran Oh you may want a tissue .LOL

Twinkies and Root Beer





A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six-pack of Root Beer and he started his journey.



When he had gone about three blocks, he met an elderly man. The man was sitting in the park just feeding some pigeons.

The boy sat down next to him and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the man looked hungry, so he offered him a Twinkie.



The man gratefully accepted it and smiled at boy. His smile was so pleasant that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a root beer.

Again, the man smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.

As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave, but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the man, and gave him a hug. The man gave him his biggest smile ever.

When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so happy?



"He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he added, "You know what? God's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"



Meanwhile, the elderly man, also radiant with joy, returned to his home. His son was stunned by the look of peace on his face and he asked," Dad, what did you do today that made you so happy?"

He replied, "I ate Twinkies in the park with God." However, before his son responded, he added," You know, he's much younger than I expected."



Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Embrace all equally!

....Thanks for touching my life!

: May The Good Lord Bless and Keep You

Thanks for dropping by!

Thank you, Tubby.

This the last one for you night owls..LOL...IT IS SAFE Good nite

Forgetter Be Forgotten



My forgetter's getting better,

But my rememberer is broke

To you that may seem funny

But, to me, that is no joke

For when I'm 'here' I'm wondering

If I really should be 'there'

And, when I try to think it through,

I haven't got a prayer!

Oft times I walk into a room,

Say 'what am I here for?'

I wrack my brain, but all in vain!

A zero, is my score.

At times I put something away

Where it is safe, but, Gee!

The person it is safest from

Is, generally, me!

When shopping I may see someone,

Say 'Hi' and have a chat,

Then, when the person walks away

I ask myself, 'now who was that?'

Yes, my forgetter's getting better

While my rememberer is broke,

And it's driving me plumb crazy

And that isn't any joke.

CAN YOU R ELATE???

Betty I am sure you can sketch just about anything you want.......I used to say the same thing, but I discovered I really can draw if I set my mind to it......spent a lot ofyears saying I couldn't.....I really, really surprised myself.

All three of those were great!! I have a couple of ladies at Church who have sent me their e-mail addresses so I can send them some of the fun things I read here....it really makes their day.

sorry night shift...but I gotta call in sick :o( my wonderful DS decided to give me his cold...just what I needed on top of this kidney infection and everything else...ugh! so took some thera-flu cold medicine and hitting the hay early

I'll do double time when I'm better! teehee! (gotta make up those hours!)

Well that sure is a description of me!!!! My remember sure does not work!!

Anjl sorry you're getting the crud, sure a lot of it going round, get some rest and will talk to you later.

Thanks again Tubby.
Feel better, Anjl...
And Trisha, I always love your kitty pictures..

Synda really got some of us hooked on that site.....there are so many cute pictures!!

I think I must be the lone owl left in the forest.

It was a good but frustrating day, I hung the art show, and the them this time is Flowers. Some very nice paintings and also great photography. So that was good.

When I got home I was ready to tackle the rest of the ceiling....that was bad, because I simply cannot reach the highest corner, not from atop the ladder or any other way. I just can't do it. I am going to have to find somebody who can do it for me, and the trouble is, I can't get the room all cleaned up until I get that silly corner painted. I guess it might not show but I would know.

Anyway, that's the bad part of the day.

Then I had a friend who called tonight and asked if she could come over. It was late, otherwise she would have stopped by without calling. She was feeling pretty down, has some real burdens with a family member. But she is one of my gardening buddies, so we sat down and talked flowers, which led to looking at some photos in Plant Files, then we somehow started looking at my Persian rugs, which led to looking at them on QVC and on e bay. We found a couple that she really liked. Then we went to YouTube and listened to songs that were popular when we were young. Y'all remember Inglebert Humperdink? And Tom Jones. We watched people like that and laughed till we both were crying.

She went away much happier, so that was the best part of my day. She couldn't reach the ceiling either.

Hope you all have a good restful night....happy Friday!

Morning...so nice to let all the animals out this morning and know they won't freeze...Sailor's back in, muddy paws and all, however, I'm smelling skunk and am just terrified of opening the door for the kitties to come in and find out it's they who smell...

AnnMarie just what you needed, come down with something else..your resistance is probably low so your an easy target for germs..

Trisha, thanks for the vote of confidence, we'll see after Monday night..a few of the girls have light boxes..10 in the class and Carol only has 1 so that leave 4 or 5 to use hers, might just check in at Michaels today and see if they have one..almost think I have a 40% off coupon, but then that would mean NO garden store..always next week right...

Shar that was nice of you to spend the evening with a friend knowing she's down when you just might have finished it on your own..when I was doing outside when I first moved in, before new sidding, there was an area I couldn't reach, bound to do it myself I went and got a dowel, taped my brush to it, gave me the extra length and voila, finished the top part of the house..where there is a will there is a way..

You'll have to post photo's Shar of the new setting for the art display..flowers..wouldn't we all love to see them..

Only 4 of us last night painting on the table panel, we spend a lot of time laughing..the artist that we are doing her piece dabs in color the fill the flower vase, that way when we create the glass effect you can see a mirage of flower stems and background..tell you what, sure looked like h&ll...once softened not as bad, can see the purpose...I've done a lot of glass, this is just another technique...because the piece had to be heat set (Genesis paints) before we could move on we got to leave almost 1 hr. earlier than we normally would..so that was nice..got home and into my oven it went..

Here's what came out of the oven..remember now, this is only background for the glass container

Wish me luck, off to check on 'kitties' - may they not have 'skunk' odor..

Morning Betty. Looks like you are doing very well on your painting. Can't wait to see the finished product!
Wishing you lots of luck for the NO SKUNK, on the kitties. That smells so bad!
You have a great day at work!

All women should live so long as to be this kind of old lady!

Toward the end of Sunday service , the Minister asked, 'How many of you have forgiven your enemies?'

80% held up their hands.

The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one small elderly lady.

'Mrs. Neely? Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?'

'I don't have any,' she replied, smiling sweetly.

'Mrs. Neely, that is very unusual. How old are you?'

'Ninety-eight,' she replied.

'Oh, Mrs. Neely, would you please come down in front & tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years & not have an enemy in the world?'

The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said, 'I outlived the old bags.......(edited) Tee Hee
