This is my own news update for all of you. Here in Dogpatch, the trains run through it. We see the train all the time. For a couple of weeks, we were seeing scary things like tanks go through. Jeeps. The stuff on the TV news. Last week, a train of pickups and road graders painted in camouflage went through. Eerie. They were planning on fixing things up while still bombing.
A woman takes her sick parrot to the vet. The vet looks at the bird, and says "I'm sorry ma'am, but there's nothing I can do. Your parrot is dead." The woman says "no! that can't be!" The vet says "Just a minute. He returns with a black lab. The dog takes a look at the parrot, looks at the vet and shakes his head sadly. The vet leaves, and returns with a cat. The cat takes a look at the parrot, looks at the vet, shrugs, and shakes his head sadly. The vet hands the lady a bill, and says "Theres nothing I can do, your bird is dead. The lady looks at the bill, and says "A hundred fifty bucks, and all you did was tell me my bird is dead!" The vet says, "well if you'd listened to my first diagnosis, it would have been $20, but then I had to do a cat scan and lab report....."

Marchella, I'm shocked. Didn't your nanny teach you how to spell?
Today's joke:
At the data-entry company where I* work, the other operators and I
share a coffeepot. One morning I took it into the ladies room to
fill it with water. Then I began preening in the mirror, brushing
my hair and reapplying some makeup. I didn't realize how long I'd
been until someone slid a note under the door. "You win," it read.
"Any ransom demand will be met. Just release the coffeepot."
*Please note that "I" does not refer to me. I don't preen. Or work.
Gotta go wash my hair.
Peaches, are you sure that camoflage isn't just the newest color for pickups and road graders? I think after that giant bomb they dropped on you guys, they ought leave you in peace.
What do Sadaam Husein and Little Miss Muffet have in common?
They have Kurds in their way.
Obviously, that one doesn't work in print. You guys are SO SWEET THOUGH>
Where do they ship that stuff out and how? Some more passed today ... it was headed east like normal and was contained trucks pulling either cylindrical thingies (generators or tar tanks) or square things covered with tarps. Then later, coming west were regular trucks. Where's the port?
I, too, am shocked by Marcella. Do you think a servant wrote that for her? Can't get good help they say.
DS and I saw a calf being born yesterday. It lay in a little puddle and I thought it was dead. Then it moved it's ears. Then raised it's head. Then stuck it's butt in the air. Finally it tried to stand still on all four feet. We were just driving down the road when he spotted it emerging and we stopped. The mama cow didn't like us.

Batzie, I mean Bagzie, I just can't see me driving a tank through 13 states and crossing the border. Do they have VCRs in them? I wondered since the list of items they're asking folks back home to send includes videos, flea powder and Cds.
Kim, it's so ironic that you say we sound fun. We are SO MEAN!! I suggest that you suck up to Sugar right away. I looked at your profile and like that you're a teacher. You can explain the entire educational system of the universe to us.
Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday to You Happy Birthday Dear Wabbit Happy Birthday to You!
Hi Kim--yep, for a bunch of cowarses, we are a hoot. I'm thinking we should title the next thread Big Butted Bovines. I used to live in Charlotte, drove thru your town many a time on my way to the mountains. I seem to remember a lot of Corvette Stingrays zooming around everywhere. Is the furniture business still thriving there?
Wow, I'm freaking out at the idea that the soldiers want flea powder. Ew. As if being there isn't bad enough. I tried to sign up for our family to adopt a soldier to write to and maybe send care packages to, but I haven't heard back anything yet. Of course, they'll be there long after most Americans have lost interest in them, so I'll be patient.
I have 2 lamb shanks about 6" long to do something with for dinner. Package says to roast them, wouldn't they be awfully tough? Going Googling................
well, I think you're asking the wrong person about the education system.. I just work there and know the game. Now, I don't always make the "I'm playing" the game choice, but oh well..
In my humble (and free) opinion... I think that the main problem is that kids have little if any respect, administrators are "yes" men, parents believe a 12 year old over teachers and teachers pretty much try to do their job without pissing anyone off because they always seem to be the bad guys. Reader's digest version of course, and now I'll hope right off this box..
I will have to say that the dyslexic joke made me giggle all day--thanks for that.
I didn't know there were fleas in the dessert--isn't anyone safe? Happy Birthday to Wabby.
What part of Charlotte did you live in, Kiwi? I used to live there before I moved in with my feller and resorted to "living in sin" as my mom puts it.
HAHAHAHAH 'living in sin'--that is what my DAUGHTER is going to do this fall with her bf at university----my MOTHER will have a hissy fit and I will be in the crossfire----tell me miamoooo----is your mother "lighthearted" about your "transgression" or snarky---------------------guess which MY mother will be---ha
my mother means well, but I"ll put it this way. She and my dad are coming to visit and they are getting a hotel because she doesn't approve. And hey, that's ok, but it's my house and I'm not going to make Eddie sleep somewhere else and I sure as heck ain't sleeping on the couch!
ANYWHO.. I was married so it's not like I ain't "soiled".. would rather think this one through or out... *lol*
Tanks in Dogpatch?
Howdy
A JOYous Birthday Wish
Happy Birthday to You!
