That static picture looked much better small.

No, I do not have a blemish on the side of my face, but I don't think it was a shadow,either. I think it was just an errant lock of hair, brushing against my cheek, making Prince Charming long to brush it away.

I DO NOT HAVE WARTS!!!!!!! (Any more.)

Rella, who is Cletis? He must be famous if you've heard of him, but I am a such a hick, I've hardly heard of anybody. Pep and Mel are my idea of celebrities, lol.

Good Neak, Good.

Now make sure she knows that you typed it all out word for word, and didn't use cut and paste at all. I'm sure she'll believe you. After all, she's related.

Good photo -
Not witch like at all.
Notice how the smile is so realistic, like you were having fun.
That's always a plus.

I haven't heard of Cletus either. My idea celebrities are Neak and T&L.
The author and the world traveler.

Perhaps Cinderella, for skinny dipping, and island hopping.

Believer, for her humanitarian work in Mexico.

AW, who could probably do her own "handyman" TV show.

AWM, for her project management (she manages the whole family, and that's a project if I ever saw one.)

Jen, famous in political circles.

Neak sis would qualify if she posted more often. (OK, I am blatantly teasing NeakSis to see if I can get a response, and I admit it.)

Time - famous for going so fast that I can't keep up - and also....... which I just ran out of.

Neak, I just read through your entire post (every inspired word of it, too), and now I'm really, really confused. Just exactly what are you trying to say here? It almost seems to have a theme, but what it is just eludes me, for some reason. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

AJ saw a unique sign in Corning, CA. He is going to take a picture of it to send to Jay Leno for his sign segment.

It is a place I have driven past, and even visited once or twice, since Mr. Computer was in utero.

The sign reads:

GLASS BLOWER


Except it is missing the G.









And the L.

AJ just reminded me of another Little Dervish story.

Poor Little D picked up some bad habits while being a trucker buddy.

Right after he got back, I took him to Wal Mart, actually the same Super Center where I bought the pie. As we got out of the car, one of the sprinklers was broken and gushing like a miniature Old Faithful.

Little D took one look and exclaimed, "Mama, what the.....?!?"

Fortunately for him, (and his father), no other words followed the word "the".

If I hafta whoop that little kid, I'm whooping his daddy, too!

AJ wants me to clarify that all he ever says is "what the...." <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />, too.

He doesn't want me to give the impression that he is actually teaching our son bad language.

That won't stop me from whooping him, though!

I'm still reading......... and learning a lot.

Interesting reading too.

Things I have learned:

Don't say "What the????" when you see something you don't understand.
You may get a whoopin. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Perhaps "Well, look at that sprinkler spraying up in the air. I suppose it's broken. I wonder how much water goes to waste each year because of things like this? Isn't it a shame? The landscape people better take care of it soon, or they might get a whoopin."

See how much I've learned already?

T&L, just when is this tamping trip?
ETA
Is HP going too?

ROFL - see? You're never too old to learn something new.

AJ just sent me the picture of the sign. It used to be a really nice place, but as you can see, once the vandals arrived it went downhill.

Looks like AJ will be celebrity soon for being mentioned on the Leno show.

Unless they have rules about what they can or can't show on the air.

I can't believe I read that, I hope my mom doesn't wash my eyes out with soap.

My eyes are still stinging just a little.

I just can't believe nobody has been able to fix that. He says it has been that way for some time now.

Neak, you need to send that picture to your dad's email. It's just the sort of thing he'd think is funny. I'd do it but I don't know how.

SS, no HP is not going on this trip. He didn't like the site because it was too close to the "city" even though the person who set it up says you can't tell anything is nearby because of all the trees. Plus it's right on the ocean. Whatever. Having once made his decision, he naturally had to stick to it hammer and tongs. And now that AJ isn't going either, Neaksis and I are going to be depending on the charity of hapless males from the church to be putting that stupid tent up. Either that,or we'll just lie down on the ground and drape it right over us to keep the dew off. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> THIS JUST SOUNDS LIKE SO MUCH FUN! How will I ever wait until Friday to get started! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

t&l, who has finally goofed off enough even for me and is quitting to do some housework.

No, it doesn't.

Our kids must be a lot like yours. When we were reading the OT, one of the twins said "I can't believe you would say that word."

Reply -
"I'm reading the bible. It's OK to read the bible word for word, and BTW, they are talking about a donkey, were you listening?"

Answer -
"A donkey?
Really, a donkey?
How come they call it that?"

Yes, any time away from the kids is pleasure. We love our kids, as I know you do yours, but I know what you mean.

SS, in that case you would've liked the time at the prison chapel (Neak and I used to go to the prison every week and provide the music) when the chaplain read both the verse that spoke about the prophet sitting on his "donkey" and the one where judgment came on everyone who "(p)isseth against the wall." Such snorting and snickering there was from the inmates, who obviously didn't know the Bible talked "that way." <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
