A LITTLE HALLOWEEN HUMOR......

Halloween Joke


An extremely shy and very modest man was in the hospital for a series of tests, the last of which had left his digestive system upset.

Upon making several false-alarm trips to the bathroom, he decided that the latest was another false alarm, so he stayed put in his bed. He suddenly filled his bed with diarrhea and was embarrassed beyond his ability to remain rational. Loosing his presence of mind, he jumped up, gathered up the bed sheets, and threw them out the hospital window.

A drunk was walking by the hospital when the sheets landed on him. He started yelling, cursing, and swinging his arms wildly, which left the soiled sheets in a tangled pile at his feet.

As the drunk stood there staring down at the sheets, a security guard who had watched the whole incident walked up and asked, "What was that all about?" Still staring down at his feet, the drunk
replied: "I think I just beat the shit out of a ghost"

I AM TOTALLY SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!

I can not believe the results of last nights show! I did not expect Sabrina to be voted off! I was sure she would make it to the top three and that either Jane or Marie would be sent home last night. It definitely is not about who is the best dancer....in my opinion, it is a popularity contest. I have read a lot of comments on various message boards regarding Sabrina and a lot of people feel that she had an unfair advantage, already being a dancer-although she performed a different style of dancing then what she was expected to do on the show. Anyway, reviews are mixed..some felt her dancing expierience was unfair, as the show is supposed to be about amateurs learning to dance from the professionals.
Still...the results make no sense. Sabrina was not my favorite to win, but she was strong competition for the other dancers...it makes me wonder if the show is fixed; although, the judges did look very shocked!
What are your thoughts and feelings regarding last nights decision? I look forward to discussion....

Children's Meth


Check Snopes:
http://www.snopes.com/horrors/drugs/candymeth.asp

There is a very scary thing going on in the schools right now that all need to be aware of. There is a type of crystal meth going around that looks like strawberry pop rocks. It smells like strawberry also and it is being handed out to kids in school yards in AR. I'm sure it will make its way around the country if it hasn't already. Kids are ingesting this thinking that it is candy and being rushed off to the E.R. in dire condition.

It also comes in chocolate, peanut butter, cola, cherry, grape and orange ~` it looks just like pop rocks.

Please instruct your children to not accept candy that looks like this even from a friend and to take any that they may have to a teacher, principal, etc.


That is what they are calling strawberry meth or strawberry quick.

PLEASE SEND THIS OUT TO AS MANY PARENTS WHO HAVE CHILDREN - it could save some family a lot of heartache!

Dancing with the Stars...Top 7 Performance recap...

Only 7 remain....who is going to come out on top? The dead weight is gone and only the best performers remain...and every one of them is determined to win. The competition is heating up and anyone of the seven could claim the top spot...I will be glued to my t.v. for the next six weeks..that's for sure! Hopefully, all of ya'll will be watching and sharing with me....

Now...all my faithful Dancing with the Stars fan...let's recap last nights show!

First up to dance last night...Sabrina Bryan and Mark Callas...

dancing the Foxtrot...They performed to the song "I'm a Woman"...which was too cheesy of a song for the classic and classy Foxtrot...Sabrina was exhausted from her grueling schedule the week before and it showed...their dance was too hard, too agressive and powerful...not smooth and flowy as it should have been. Although, Carrie Ann felt it was feisty and smooth, she loved it. Me..not so much. Sabrina is a strong contender to win this competition, but last night, she lowered herself a few notches...ending with a score of 25.




The second dance of the evening went to Jenny Garth and her partner Derek Hough..

they absolutely stole the show with their fiery Mambo. Undoubtedly the best dance of the night in my opinion. They start out with killer moves, continuing throughout the entire dance...it was creatively choreographed...Jenny was one sexy, dirty dancing steamy mama last night...va va va voom, for sure! It was an exceptional performance, placing her at the top four..with a score of 27.





In the bottom two last week, Jane Seymour and Tony Dovolani...

and after last nights dance...in the bottom two they still remain. They performed the jive last night and it was definitely not Jane's night. It was actually her worst performance so far this season. Jane is a classy elegant woman, last night she came across has a middle aged woman trying to pull off the teeny bopper persona...did not work! It was definitely not her "cup of tea"....their score....22.


The first of the two men to represent last night....Cameron Mathison and Edyta Sliwinska...

danced their hearts out performing the Samba....their performance was fun, rythmic..well done. Although Bruno and Len felt it did not truly capture the spirit of the Samba...that their costumes and choreography were too bizzarre and kind of tribal. I had to agree with Carrie Ann though...it was primal, it was passionate and I loved it! Their score....25.







Following Cameron and Edyta were Mel B and Maxim
Chmerkovsky...
dancing the rumba...it was a cliffhanging performance...beautifully paced, they never lost control. It was passionate/mesmerizing...truly sensational. Although, a little over the top at the end...what with Maxim kissing Carrie Ann and Mel B sitting on Bruno's lap...can we say "suck up?"....Bruno said it rode the fine line between love and hate....Len said said it was perfected, inspected, dissected and as far as he was concerned, it would not be rejected...Carrie Ann said it was the rumba she had been waiting all season to see....their score....30...which I felt was scored too high.They performed well...but not deserving of a perfect score in my opinion.


Staying on their feet last night....compared to last week...were Marie Osmond and Jonathan Roberts...

they performed the Paso Doble...Marie is a very passionate dancer, she gives it her all, but last night..she tended to lean toward safety, not giving 100%. She started out good, very dramatic..but she kind of paused half way through, never really got it back...after last weeks fainting spell...she spent too much of her time sliding/lying on the floor last night...Carrie Ann didn't like the parts where she was on the floor...flashbacks, you know....I can't blame her....she felt Marie played it too safe for the type of dance she was dancing. Len said she was like a gypsy dancing around the campfire cooking sausages and Bruno felt she started out like Catherine Zeta-Jones and ended up like Catherine Zeta-Cranky...their score....23.

Last but surely not least....we had my main man...Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough....

dancing the Cha-Cha...and man, can my man cha-cha! What a performance! Last week, he tried to be something he was not, but this week...he revamped...refueled...and recharged his engines...Vroom...Vroom...thier performance was fast, fun...Helio was all love last night...he was rebranded, repackaged and regenerated...those were Bruno's words...he is defintely back in the race...with a score of 28.

Ending the show last night...the entire group danced a fun rocking performance to Rockin' Robin...I just loved it...it had me tapping my toes....was a blast to watch...gave me the dancing fever! Man...I would love to dance like that.
Wonderful show...wonderful contenders...it's going to be awesome to see who is going to win...everyone is at the top of their game...they can only keep improving.

So...elimination tonight...who is going home?

Who do you think should be eliminated?

My guess...Marie Osmond and Jane Seymour will be the bottom two...with Jane going home tonight.

Dixiechick....out.

Good Morning, Everyone!!

Dancing with the Stars recap post will be this afternoon, I promise!

WHERE DID I GO WRONG?

You know that feeling you get, when you are a fairly new blogger, you are cruising through blogs you read and you find that your name/your blog has been added to someone elses blog roll....you are a very happy and estatic...then you add them to your blogroll, etc..etc..
It's a great feeling....until......
You check in on that persons blog, you find your name removed...what is up, you wonder? What did I do to make that person not like me or want to read me anymore??

I have had that happen to me twice...in the two months I have been blogging. It upsets me..a lot. Why? I don't know..maybe it is kind of like when you are in school, you want to fit in...you want people to like you, etc....I hate that feeling.

I have been bothered about this all morning...I know it is petty, silly....but now I have a complex...I know not everyone is going to find me interesting..maybe I used too many curse words, maybe they got bored...heck, I don't know. How many of you has this happened too and how did you deal with it? Did you remove them..kind of like, well..if they don't like me, don't want to read my blog, then I am not going to link theirs or read theirs..childish isn't it...maybe blogging isn't for me after all..then again...why should I care what other's think? I have a few faithful readers...don't think I will lose their interests...at least I hope not..If I just get one or two comments a day, I am happy..but to lose a reader...it saddens me...it needles me, it makes me teary-eyed...Where did I go wrong?

It's Monday already????

Yeah...what he said!!
Where does the weekend go? I know I shouldn't be complaining...I did have a three day weekend, so to speak...but still, Mondays Suck! I have a feeling it is going to be a long week. How was everyone's weekend? Mine was fine....you all read in my previous post about my Friday night....Saturday was spent resting...all day. Then hubster and I went for an early dinner, to Pepe's....one of my favorite places to eat. I love me some chicken enchilads with a nice big margarita..yum...it was great. We came home, got dressed up, went to our club we go to...and no, when I say dressed up, not in a Halloween costume...hubster just wouldn't do it....everyone else was dressed up though...we seen some really cool costumes. Some friends of ours won first prize for couples...they went as a beheaded Marie Antoinnette and her executioner...totally cool costume..we seen everything from Dog the Bounty Hunter/Beth to Alice Cooper and Kiss....lot's of awesome costumes. Next year, I am going to buy our costumes in August/September, so that we have them and hubster will have absolutely no excuse not to participate...we missed out on a lot of fun/prizes by not doing so. We didn't get home until 3 a.m. Sunday morning..so, once again, we rested most of the day...in the late afternoon, we went to the coffee shoppe for a little while, then had dinner at Sphageddies....wonderful food, wonderful wine...spent the evening watching the first season of Lost....I am so totally hooked on that show. Can't wait to finish the season, start on the next one..
Now....let's talk about
Desperate Housewives....
I was a little disappointed in last nights episode...it was rather boring. The entire episode was centered around the ridiculous sculpture that Bob and Lee put in their front yard...I have to agree that it was atrocious....but to use it for the plot of the show...boring! The whole Kathryn/Lynette thing was silly....interesting that Bob and Lee found out Kathryns secret...stopped her in her tracks..Gabrille/Carlos storyline is losing it's interest for me as well....although Edie did find out..which means next week looks like it could be a little more interesting...don't know, guess we will find out.
Remember tonight....Dancing with the Stars....8 P.M...CBS...I sure hope I get to see it. I have to pick up kids this evening, so I am going to be pushing it to get home in time...but, I am going to do my best. Never fear though...I will still do my recap tomorrow sometime...
Dixiechick...out!

Ooops!

Wow..I can't believe I went an entire day without posting...it is now 2:30 in the morning, Saturday morning to be exact....I am exhausted, but I didn't want to let my faithful readers..all five of you...down, without posting. I took Friday off of work...I needed a break! I spent it with my wonderful husband....at least, up until he had to get ready to go to work. Then, with his encouragement,(since the kids are all gone..to their Dads/Grandma's)... I got dressed up, very very nice....went to Indianapolis to meet up with some friends at a private club we go too...for an evening out. I couldn't drink..I drove, I am a strong believer of drinking and driving do not mix...JUST DON'T DO IT! Anyway, things were pretty lame...everyone was ho hum..boring...so I came home. I miss the hubby..things are always fun with him..without him..not so much. Tomorrow night is the clubs annual Halloween Party...everyone wants hubby and I to come...I don't have a costume...don't want to go without one..don't really have the money to buy one...spent way too much on the kids....but it is more important to me that they have costumes then us..I am just that wonderful of a mother. Thank you for agreeing...I know that you are. LOL....anyway...I am sitting here having a glass of wine, watching Weeds on showtime..that is a funny show...Do any of you watch that? I don't do drugs..but it is a funny show about a Mom that has 2 kids, her husband dies..she starts selling weed to support her family...really funny. Well..think I am going to bed. No big plans for tomorrow...although, I do intend to sleep in..get up, make some coffee and read every one's blogs...sorry if this post wasn't that entertaining...I will try harder tomorrow...or Sunday..maybe Monday...yeah, definitely Monday.
Easier for me to blog from work...hee hee..isn't that funny? I have more time to blog from work then I do from home...guess my job really isn't that bad after all, huh?
Until next time.....

Dixiechick...out!

Clark Griswold: I think you're all fucked in the head. We're ten hours from the fucking fun park and you want to bail out. Well I'll tell you something. This is no longer a vacation. It's a quest. It's a quest for fun. I'm gonna have fun and you're gonna have fun. We're all gonna have so much fucking fun we'll need plastic surgery to remove our godamn smiles.

And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse.

Clark: Hey. If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight.

DANCING..NOT SO MUCH....HE IS OUT OF THE CONTEST....

I FIGURED HE WOULD BE GOING HOME LAST NIGHT.
WHAT DID EVERYONE THINK ABOUT LAST NIGHTS SHOW? AT LEAST NO ONE FAINTED. LOL...I THOUGHT JENNIFER LOPEZ GAVE AN EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE...ONCE AGAIN, SHE WAS WEARING FLOWY LOOSE DRESSES...STILL TRYING TO HIDE HER PREGNANCY IT LOOKS LIKE.

I WAS GLAD TO SEE MEL B GET THE ENCORE DANCE..SHE IS REALLY BECOMING A STRONG CONTENDER IN THIS COMPETITION. I LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT WEEK...I THINK JENNY IS GETTING THE AX NEXT...

WELL, THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT FOR NOW.
DIXIECHICK....OUT!

IT WAS A STRANGE NIGHT ON DANCING WITH THE STARS LAST NIGHT.....

Last night was intended to be the sexiest night of the season....stars performed two of the sexiest Ball room dances ever...The Samba and The Rumba...




The night started out with Marie and Jonathan...



dancing The Samba...I felt she did a great job...but at the end, before receiving her scores, Marie was a little over excited...jumping up and down; before Len could give his final thoughts...Marie literally took to the floor...SHE FAINTED/PASSED OUT...WHATEVER! Scared the crap out of me! I thought she had a heart attack or something! I did get to see this before I had to stop watching last night. That was the longest commercial break ever! When the show came back on...Marie was fine...Said she does that sometimes...just quits breathing, faints. Scary stuff...Glad to know she is ok though and they ended with a score of (21)...

There was some irony after Marie and Jonathans dance...Jane and Tony came out performing The Rumba.....
.....Dancing to the song "Breathe Again"....lol...umm...sorry...couldn't help but mention that..(I am in no way making light of what happened to Marie last night...I love her...I just thought the irony was too funny not to share)...HHrrummpphhh...moving on. Last week, Jane gave us an enchanting waltz...she did not fail to please this week either. Her Rumba was very steamy and sexy...her body is absolutely amazing. She danced very well, bringing romance into the dance in a very classy way. One of the judges stated she looked like Edyta...it was that good and professional. I feel it was once again, A job well done! There score was (26)...

Third to dance for the evening....Mark Cuban and Kim...they danced The Samba...
They decided to go for the entertainment factor last night....looking nerdish, dancing to an I Dream of Jenny theme...and it was in fact very entertaining..but, as far as the dancing part goes...the poor guy just is not a dancer...his technique still needs lots and lots of work...He is definitely no Fred Astaire....and he knows this. Therefore he is utilizing his capitalizing and people skills, along with his business savy to keep himself in this competition. He is at the bottom of my list for favorites....as well as with his scores....last nights score was (21) and I truly feel he will be going home tonight.



Fourth couple to dance last night....Sabrina and her partner Mark did a fantastic job dancing The Rumba....
Sabrina gently pulled everyone in with her performance last night..once again, an excellent job....it was very sexy, Bruno told them "To get a room"...but Len felt it was over the top...too many "tricks", which Bruno totally disagreed with..but as Bruno said, "A good trick is a good trick"..it was a totally grown up and ripe performance....still keeping her in as a very strong contender with a score of (28)!





Jenny and Derek were next up to dance The Samba....

They did just O.k...all the steps were done but she kind of stalled half-way through the dance, stumbled just a little. She was trying to be sexy, and with sexiness you either have it from within or you don't...Jenny doesn't have it from within. She just couldn't pull it off, she was just to ridged for this sexy dance...I wasn't wowed, that's for sure. Jenny ended with a score of (25)..placing her in the bottom half of the competition.

The sixth couple to dance for the night were my favorites...Helio and Julianne....

Now we all know that throughout this competition, Helio and Julianne's chemistry together has been amazing...over the top...this dance being the sexiest dance of the ballroom, we were expecting them to take that chemistry to an even higher level..and.....they didn't. What a disappointment....poor Helio...I think he needs to have some new spark plugs in his engine....to rev it back up next week. Their dance was very focused...almost mechanical..wasn't very romantic either....where was the sexiness? Not there....Helio almost looked flustered....like he was in pain or something. I don't know...they scored just (23) out of 30....Bring it back next week, Helio...make the judges eat their words!

Scoring the highest score of the night, (29) out of 30 were Mel B and Maxim...

Bruno said together, they were like M & M's...very sweet and delicious....They danced like a fury last night...it was a fantastic performance....very vibrant/sassy. Best dance for them so far..best Samba of the night. Well done!










Last but not least...dancing the sexiest dance of the night...Cameron and Edyta.


He is absolutely amazing..last week Superman, this week like a lion on the prowl! GGgrrrrr! It was very passionate, very hot and very authentic...He continues to improve week after week...becoming more and more versatile...final score...(26)

So..tonight...9 p.m...the results show...Who is going to bite the dust tonight? I think it will be Mark or Jenny....with my strong feelings leaning towards Mark. Also, rumor has it J.LO...will be performing tonight...let's watch and discuss the results tomorrow.
Dixiechick...out!

DANCING WITH THE STARS RECAP WILL BE THIS AFTERNOON....

I am sorry....but I did not get to see the full episode of Dancing With the Stars last night. I only seen the first two dances...of course, I seen where Marie fainted. I will post about that soon. I had a pretty chaotic and bad evening at home last night...the hubster and I were having a spat, kids were bouncing off the walls...nothing went according to plan. So, I plan to spend my lunch hour...holed up in my office, watching last nights episode on abc.com...then, I will give you my recap. Until then...
Dixiechick...out.

WHEW! HAVE I BEEN BUSY...THIS MONDAY IS KICKING MY BUTT! CAN I HAVE A WEEKEND DO-OVER???

I am still all wrapped up with this renewal process here at work...I feel like the end is never going to get here. I have made a ton of progress, it is just too much for one person to get done in a short span of time...guess I shouldn't be complaining...job security right? Umm...yeah, well...doesn't mean I have to like it!

Moving on....hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Mine started out good. I was able to visit with 13 year old, picked him up Friday evening, picked up dinner, came home watched t.v...we all were tired, so we went to bed rather early for a friday night...um...to me, 11 p.m. is not really early..but for the kids...I got a lot of "But Mom.....(whine...whine..whine...)it's Friday night...you said we could stay up later"...well, tough...to bed they went.

Saturday, I cooked a big breakfast...bacon/eggs/pancakes and cinnamon rolls....Max (3 year old) helped me make the cinnamon rolls..I had some really cute pictures to post of him helping me...but, they were on the camera that the "crack head" stole out of my car Sunday...so, no pictures to post. After breakfast, we had the "joy" of taking three kids to buy a new computer....I know I have mentioned before we had a 10 year old piece of junk computer, that was on it's last leg...well, that leg was amputated Saturday morning....we are talking...dead/never to be revived again. So, we knew we couldn't wait until tax refund time...we had to whip out the old discover card, make a purchase. I am enjoying the new computer, but I dread the Discover card bill...I really wanted to be able to pay cash for it...but we will just pay it off when the tax refund check does get here.

Moving on...Saturday evening was spent arguing with the hubster over set up of newly purchased computer. Lot's of confusion over that, let me tell ya...Hubster thinks he knows it all...there is nothing his "superior intelligence" can't comprehend..yet, I was the one that finally got the internet connection to working on the computer..Um, yeah...who's superior now? Anyway, there were harsh words exchanged..I'm better than you at this, thrown back and forth..maybe even a couple of nah na nah na boo boos said...since, we have kissed and made up...now, we have a great computer that I can blog from home from...if I can keep the kids and Hubster off of it long enough for me to do so.

Sunday was spent at HellMart and a birthday party...at Monster Golf...check it out...it was really cool, the kids had a blast. Me? I endured...I was still pissed about my camera!





After Monster Golf/cake/party time...I had to drive Justin back to meet his Dad; he had a football game to play in that evening...
I came back home, picked up the hubster and the little ones, we went back to Best Buy, to purchase yet more "crap" for the new computer. It didn't come with speakers...since it was ten years ago that we bought our last one...we thought it would have them..nope...of course not...we thought we were out..but they lured us back in~lol...wasn't that a line from some movie? Maybe it was the Soprano's...I don't know...

Anyway, a quick drive thru dinner and home to put the kids to bed...
Whew! I am exhausted remembering the exhaustion of my weekend.
Finally at 9 p.m...I was able to escape for a little while to the loveliness of Wisteria Lane....


Who watched last night? What did you think? I thought it was rather good...gave you a lot to think about actually...what with Bob and Lee, the new gay neighbors moving in...Susan once again making an idiot of herself...she manages not only to piss them off, but Mike as well...a $2000 suit...seriously?
The Bree situation is getting crazy...I'm loving that! The whole scooter thing, ex mother-in-law drama, Danielle leaving the convent without Bree knowing...uh oh...I think things are starting to heat up with this plot..
The funniest part of the show was undoubtedly the Carlos/Edie/Victor/Gabrielle STD scenario...absolutely hilarious. I loved how Gabby tried to unknowingly treat Victor for Crabs...seriously, if you are going to have an STD thrown into the plot...picking crabs was funny! I could not stop laughing over Gabby's naughty nurse routine. Especially when she pulled out the lice comb and Victor goes, "What the hell is that"? Too funny! Good to see Lynette stop and see Tom's point of view in regards to her cancer...I must say though, Gabby and Lynette were both totally rocking the new red wig. I do have a question hopefully someone can answer for me, did Felicity Huffman really shave her head for this story line? I tried to google it..just couldn't find a straight answer. The mystery of Katherine and her family is heating up too...I'm actually looking forward to next week.

Final thought for day...remember to tune in tonight...8 p.m...

Who is going to tear it up tonight? I'll be watching..won't you join me?

Dixiechick...out!

Warning...Photo might offend.....This Is to the Person....

WHO STOLE MY CAMERA OUT OF MY CAR SUNDAY IN THE HELL-MART PARKING LOT.....

I am sorry...I am not usually so graphic...but, I am ticked. I did not sleep a wink last night. It was a piece of crap camera, but it was the only one I had...I do not have the money for a replacement right now...we had to buy an entire new computer on Saturday, so I can't replace the camera; for quite some time.

The kids and I had a birthday party to go to Sunday afternoon....I took my camera so that we could take pictures while there. Before going to the party, I needed to pick up gift bags/cards, etc for the presents I had bought for the twins (friends of Aaron's) party that we were going to attend...so, I stopped by Hell-Mart....we were in there probably half an hour..came out, Went next door to where the birthday party was located, reached to get my camera, realized it was gone.
I always lock my car...but the kids were distracting me, Max got out of the car and took off, so I bolted after him, just forgot to lock the car doors I guess.
Stupid....Stupid Me......

I had wonderful pictures of my kids from Saturday Morning...still other pictures that I had not downloaded off...it really upsets me that someone could stoop so low...guess I bought someone's crack rock for the day! I hope karma comes around and bites them on the ass...and not in a good way.

I promise....less angry post later on today.

JUST WANTED TO SAY.....

HOPE IT IS A GOOD ONE FOR ALL OF YA'LL......

UNTIL MONDAY....

I Am a very Proud Mom....

To follow up on my post regarding Aaron and his problems with school...take a look at this!!!! His first report card this year.
You have to click on the picture to see it larger....go ahead, click...I will wait.

What do you think? We went from pretty much all F's last year...struggles, heartbreak, etc....but we got through it. Aaron is doing wonderful...I could not be more proud, because I honestly thought at one point last year, that I would never see such a wonderful sight!

We took him out for dinner last night, to Bruno's pizza....a favorite of Aaron's, to celebrate a sucessful first nine weeks of school. He was just glowing. Before I left for his parent/teacher conference yesterday afternoon, he told me, "You will be so surprised to see my report card Mom"...I said, "Why is that?"...he replied, "I can't tell ya, but just know you are going to be surprised".....His teacher was so full of praise for him, that he has adjusted well this year, seems to have a lot of friends...joy to have in the classroom...also, from a little boy that had no interest in reading last year....He is in the top 13% in school for his reading, and has been placed into the acclerated reading program!

One of Aaron's favorite past times is to draw.....he loves to draw and create beautiful artwork...I have always thought that he had a special talent for it...but his teacher confirmed it. She said he has a "special gift" for it, that in her 25 years of teaching, she has never seen a child with so much talent...that I need to enroll him in an art program of some sort, because he could truly go somewhere with his talent!
Wow...that is all I can say....just wow! I plan on calling the local art museum to check into any childrens programs that may be offered. Who knows..maybe this is his calling in life...


Anyway I just wanted to share....

Have a good one....

FRIDAY FUNNY!!!!

Heres a little Friday humor for ya!

Sam and Bessie are senior citizens, and Sam has always wanted an expensive pair of alligator cowboy boots. Seeing them on sale one day, he buys a pair and wears them home, asking Bessie, "So, do you notice anything different about me?"

"What's different? It's the same shirt you wore yesterday and the same pants."

"What's different?" Frustrated, Sam goes into the bathroom, undresses and comes out completely naked, wearing only his new boots. Again he says, "Bessie, do you notice anything different?"

"What's different, Sam? It's hanging down today; it was hanging down yesterday and will be hanging down again tomorrow."

Angrily, Sam yells, "Do you know why it's hanging down? 'Cause it's looking at my new boots!!"

Bessie replies, "You shoulda bought a hat!"
