I think they're just jealous that we're having so much fun.

How to snub a snob

Julia and Pear-the cat pic and "fart" joke made both DS3 and me

Glad I had a minute to come in here, because I really needed the laughs. Otherwise, I'd be screaming right now! I'll let you all know how this turns out, but we may just have one more company to boycott due to their inability to manufacture a quality product and then STAND BEHIND IT!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggghhhhhh!

A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water.

As the bartender gives her the drink she says,


'I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it's today...'

The bartender says, 'Well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a drink. In fact, this one is on me.'

As the woman finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, 'I would like to buy you a drink, too.'

The old woman says, 'Thank you. Bartender, I want a Scotch with two drops of water.'

'Coming up,' says the bartender

As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says, 'I would like to buy you one, too.'

The old woman says, 'Thank you. Bartender, I want another Scotch with two drops of water.'

'Coming right up,' the bartender says.

As he gives her the drink, he says, 'Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?'

The old woman replies, 'Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor. Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue.'

'OLD' IS WHEN...Your friends compliment you
on your new alligator shoes and you're barefoot.

'OLD' IS WHEN...A sexy babe catches your fancy
and your pacemaker opens the garage door.

'OLD' I S WHEN...Going braless pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.

'OLD' IS WHEN...You don't care where your spouse goes,
just as long as you don't have to go along.

'OLD' IS WHEN...You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police.

'OLD' IS WHEN...'Getting a little action'
means you don't need to take any fiber today.

'OLD' IS WHEN...'Getting lucky' means you find your car in the parking lot.

'OLD' IS WHEN...An 'all-nighter' means not getting up to use the bathroom.

AND

'OLD' IS WHEN...You are not sure these are jokes?

ronni--- both those jokes are great. thanks for the laughs.


sorry i have nothing funny right now maybe later.

Good jokes everyone.

What would be funny is if we could hear what goes through those "viewers" minds as they read this thread. "Hmmm, wonder what this thread is about?" Then, when they go out of it without posting they say, "Hmmm, wonder what that thread was about?"

Love the jokes

I didn't "just" lurk because I don't want Julia chewing me out!

Bill...a little over 100 pounds but usually 2 guys hang it so about 52.5 for your half of the sheet.

Angie is off teaching her first class at church of yoga....she has one at the studio...subs for several other teachers too...I am a yoga widower

better have her dinner ready when she gets home...

had to work late on her yoga instructors house after my real job....

yoga is killin' me!

EZ - I would never chew you out. Curious about Angie, how does she balence yoga and christianity? I have been invited to several yoga classes and kinda skirted around with no answer cause I know that they go in places mentally/spiritually not my style.

ANGIE HERE:

I've never had an issue balancing yoga and my beliefs as a Christian. When I go to a yoga studio, I go with an open mind and heart. I know will be hearing things that I do not agree with and, quite frankly, are a little "out there". I just let these ideas run off my back and focus on Christ as my center. I attend yoga classes because I know of the positive benefits yoga will bring to my health and well-being.

I just taught my first yoga class at my church and had 17 people participate. This class was enthusiastically backed by my pastor. I've had such a postivie response, that it looks like I will be adding additonal classes.
Below is an excerpt of something I wrote and read to my new class to introduce them to yoga and how I plan to integrate Christian principles into our practice.
I hope this helps you.


The meaning of the word “yoga” is to yoke or to join. The goal of yoga is the uniting of the body, mind, and spirit. The development of yoga predates written history. It is not a religion. It has no creed or fixed set of beliefs. Yoga is a system of techniques that can be used for a number of goals from simply managing stress better, learning to relax, and increasing limberness to becoming more self-aware and acquiring the deepest knowledge on oneself.

Hatha yoga is the branch of yoga concerned with asanas or postures. These postures are intended to prepare the body to sit in meditation. Through the asanas, we stretch and strengthen our muscles, increase our flexibility, and the mobility of our joints. With continual practice, our body becomes stronger and we begin to feel better. All of our little aches and pains disappear.

When our body is free from aches and pains, we are able to focus and quiet the mind. When we can sit in stillness our mind can also become still. This is the opportunity for meditation.

As Christians, we want to meditate on God’s word. God promises to keep us in perfect peace when we keep our minds are fixed on Him. (Isaiah 26:3). Yoga helps us to control our wandering minds. Yoga gives us techniques to bring peace to our mind and our body.

Just wanted to report a major milestone.....

50 lbs. down!!!



On another note: I've tried yoga in a Krishna Temple and enjoyed it. It didn't really turn me onto the religion, but, I was raised a Baptist and my beliefs are pretty deeply held. I also have a very deep respect for other religions and people's beliefs in them. The yoga helped me release stress and look within myself to my own beliefs. I guess I'm fortunate that the followers there were more interested in sharing their beliefs than trying to convert others. In fact, I was far more comfortable there than dealing with some of the missionaries who prowl around here. Sides, they quickly realized there was no way I was bout to give up meat.

I find I learn a lot about my own beliefs when I open myself up to listen to others about theirs. I tend to be comfortable in almost any house of worship. Really, we do share many more similarities than differences. And, most of the differences are just semantics more than anything that would change a person's relationship with their own god. There is much we can learn from each other.

Congratulations!!!

'sOK, I can lift that and hold it with one hand while I zap with my dry wall gun - one of my best purchases when we renovated our house. But I only did small jobs, like when I moved a doorway from here to there. I loved when whole rooms had to be done because we hired the pros who worked liked crazy, chatted in french non-stop (down from Canada), and put on a finish that I never came close to duplicating. Finally came to understand the estimating in whole boards; it made sense.

Good Morning, Everyone!

Operator-Congratulations!

I have a couple questions for everyone:
--why does the air conditioner wait until it's the hottest week of the year to quit?
--why does the furnace wait until one of the coldest days (with wind chills of -20)of the year to blow up?
--why is it that as soon as you pay off your medical bills, someone gets really sick or injured and you have to start all over again?

This is what my last year has been. And, it doesn't look like it's improving any, as we sit freezingwaiting to see if the HVAC people have a replacement fan.

Great work Operator!

Of course folks look at this thread. Some of the folks who look may not be registered and can't comment. Do you suppose what we blather on about could be turning them off? If so, good riddance!

If we change the title to "List sex positions" or "Food Porn", I bet we'd get even more hits. Shall we try it April 1?

ronni, why do these things happen ? MURPHY"S LAW!!!!!!
