    Security Alert #1

    Watch this [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr23tpWX8lM]Clip about protecting your home[/ame] from invasion and/or burglary
  2. My doctor said "no weights for 6 to 8 weeks", but that I could walk as much as I want and as fast as I want (not power walking), but no jogging.

    What About Those "Family Values", Newt?

    There was no perjury. Lying under oath about something substantive to the case is perjury. Lying under oath about something not substantive to the case is not perjury; it is lying. The case was about Paula Jones who claimed that Bill Clinton tried to use his power as governor of Arkansas to force her (or coerce her) to have sex. The lying was about a consensual relationship that Bill Clinton had with Monica Lewinsky. A consensual relationship with one person has no bearing on an alleged forceful or coercive attack on another person.

    Childhood obesity = early puberty

    Does anyone remember the infants (still in their cribs) who developed breasts and grew pubic hair because of the harmones the farmers were were feeding their chickens in order to get the chickens to lay more eggs? The you girls' breasts shrunk and the public hair dropped off as soon as the infants stopped eating the eggs.

    Family values are for other people. You know; the kind that vote.:faint:

    Tell me if I'm wrong...

    My next door neighbor (before we moved from Brooklyn) invited me to his daughter's wedding since we knew her from when she was still in diapers. She also had been living with a man for a number of years and had the audacity to wear a white dress, but worse than that, her 4 year old daughter was her Flower Girl. The Priest was not told of these circumstances (and did not know the relationship between bride and flower girl), so his homily sounded almost comical. The priest never figured out why there was laughter at so many points in his homily. He even made a joke about the fear of both partners on their wedding night, which brought down the house like never before.

    Half-ton Man Leaves House After 5 Years

    I wish him the best also, but it seems to me that we have seen this story before; only the names of the participants and the city have been changed. It was Walter Hudson and Dick Gregory a few years ago, and even though Hudson lost 900 pounds, he gained it all back and died soon after. We are helpless against this addiction unless we get help.

    American Idol 2007

    I heard a rumor that starting on the next round of voting, all those calling in will be asked one question on current events. I have it from a good source (my uncle is a producer on AI) that the first question will be, "Who is Scooter Libby?":help: It is a secret, so if you guys don't pass this question around via e-mail, the educated guess is that less than 15% of the phone-in callers will get the correct answer. The questions are important to the advertisers. It helps them with determining how sophisticated to make their commercials.:think

    Security Alert #2

    You would be surprised how fast motivated people are. Maybe “motor-vated” might be a better term.:bandit In the early 1950's, my mother, grandmother and aunt used to say handbag or pocketbook interchangeably, but the purse was a small bag usually with coins and bills in it. Back in those days, no one had credit cards (at least not in our socio-economic bracket) and women didn't drive cars (nor did that many men), so the change purse or money purse was the zippered sometimes, but usually held together with interlocking clips, small bag inside of the big bag.

    Tell me if I'm wrong...

    Where did this myth start? A wedding is about two people. Where does it say (in some Holy book or international law) that women are so precious and SPOILED that they have a right to be a tyrant on their wedding day? BS, me thinks. These are not reasons why a bride should be so arrogant on her wedding day; these are examples of the arrogance and self-centered notions of brides and women in general, and they are traditions that put money in the pockets of businessmen who are more than willing to sell the wedding participants all kinds of junk at triple the price (it would cost at any other event).

    It will not be fair if Laurend gets a band. No one deserves to be that smart and slim too.

    I need to get this out of my system.....

    When my step-father was in a nursing home about 15 years ago, he was on the 4th floor. I would walk up the 4 flights and then take the elevator down. Some of the nurses saw me quite often (I used to visit 2 or 3 times a week) and they asked me why? "Other people take the elevator up and walk down. Only you take the elevator down, but walk up. Why?" Going up, there is constant pressure on the knee, but stepping down the spaces between the joints open up as the foot is lowered to the next step down and then the joints bang together as the weight is applied.

    So both of you are saying that what I call a pockerbook, you call a purse. Right? Handbag=Pocketbook=Purse?
  16. Caladryl is also great. It is Calamine lotion and Benedryl.
  17. Are you drinking plenty of water? You need to drink enough water until your urine is clear.

    Security Alert #2

    I called the big bag a pocketbook and the small item with the money in it, "the purse", but I notice that some people call the bag a purse and the small item with the money in it, "their wallet". Question: Which is the correct nomenclature, or is it another North/South issue?:girl_hug:
  19. Your BMI is over 41. A BMI over 40 gives you a much better chance at approval. Good luck and welcome to LBT.

    I finally watched the show tonight (on my DVR) and Tina and I laughed all the way through the segments on Jose De Jesus. PT Barnum was right.

    I need to get this out of my system.....

    Someone once asked what I would do if I hit the lottery. I shocked him my telling him I would get an artificial right shoulder (3 surgeries), an artificial left ankle (2 surgeries), and 2 artificial knees (3 right knee surgeries, 2 left knee surgeries) and 10 artificial knuckles (many injuries as a mechanic, plus arthritis). My doctor wants to put in a right knee, but he says he wants me to lose some weight first because of the stress on the bone to joint junction.
  23. If you are sitting next to someone who irritates you on a plane or train: 1. Quietly and calmly open up your laptop case. 2. Remove your laptop. 3. Turn it on. 4.
