a piece of boneless chicken and a baked sweet potato- it was good.
got a pot of coffee brewing and the snow is coming down.

btw- FROM HELL IT CAME- is as cheesy and as badly acted a film as i remember. and, with the dvd of it i could really see that there were oak trees and pines and the like ON the tropical island. the "natives" oh, only in the 50s and early 60s at the very latest could they get away with those stereotypes, plus 2 ladies rolling around in sarongs fighting and pulling hair- very wimpily i might add!

oh and the female doctor who is rescued by the "manly man" ohhhh my.

wandering around in the jungle in a dress more suited for a garden party-she was the perfect little blonde heroine-too funny.

now i have to decide what to do for the rest of the evening.

just fooling around now...

It's good enough to stand!

*A Nun Grading Papers*
Can you imagine the nun sitting at her desk grading these papers, all the while trying to keep a straight face and maintain her composure!



PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE WORDING AND SPELLING. IF YOU KNOW THE BIBLE EVEN A LITTLE, YOU'LL FIND THIS HILARIOUS! IT COMES FROM A CATHOLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEST. KIDS WERE ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS. THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ABOUT THE BIBLE WERE WRITTEN BY CHILDREN. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RETOUCHED OR CORRECTED. INCORRECT SPELLING HAS BEEN LEFT IN.


1. IN THE FIRST BOOK OF THE BIBLE, GUINESSIS.. GOD GOT TIRED OF CREATING THE WORLD SO HE TOOK THE SABBATH OFF.

2. ADAM AND EVE WERE CREATED FROM AN APPLE TREE. NOAH'S WIFE WAS JOAN OF ARK. NOAH BUILT AND ARK AND THE ANIMALS CAME ON IN PEARS.
3. LOTS WIFE WAS A PILLAR OF SALT DURING THE DAY, BUT A BALL OF FIRE DURING THE NIGHT.
4. THE JEWS WERE A PROUD PEOPLE AND THROUGHOUT HISTORY THEY HAD TROUBLE WITH UNSYMPATHETIC GENITALS.

5. SAMPSON WAS A STRONGMAN WHO LET HIMSELF BE LED ASTRAY BY A JEZEBEL LIKE DELILAH.
6. SAMSON SLAYED THE PHILISTINES WITH THE AXE OF THE APOSTLES.
7. MOSES LED THE JEWS TO THE RED SEA WHERE THEY MADE UNLEAVENED BREAD WHICH IS BREAD WITHOUT ANY INGREDIENTS.
8. THE EGYPTIANS WERE ALL DROWNED IN THE DESSERT. AFTERWARDS, MOSES WENT UP TO MOUNT CYANIDE TO GET THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
9. THE FIRST COMMANDMENTS WAS WHEN EVE TOLD ADAM TO EAT THE APPLE.

10. THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT IS THOU SHALT NOT ADMIT ADULTERY.
11. MOSES DIED BEFORE HE EVER REACHED CANADA THEN JOSHUA LED THE HEBREWS IN THE BATTLE OF GERITOL.
12. THE GREATEST MIRICLE IN THE BIBLE IS WHEN JOSHUA TOLD HIS SON TO STAND STILL AND HE OBEYED HIM.

13. DAVID WAS A HEBREW KING WHO WAS S KILLED AT PLAYING THE LIAR. HE FOUGHT THE FINKELSTEINS, A RACE OF PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN BIBLICAL TIMES.

14. SOLOMON, ONE OF DAVIDS SONS, HAD 300 WIVES AND 700 PORCUPINES....
15. WHEN MARY HEARD SHE WAS THE MOTHER OF JESUS, SHE SANG THE MAGNA CARTA.
16. WHEN THE THREE WISE GUYS FROM THE EAST SIDE ARRIVED THEY FOUND JESUS IN THE MANAGER.

17. JESUS WAS BORN BECAUSE MARY HAD AN IMMACULATE CONTRAPTION.
18. ST. JOHN THE BLACKSMITH DUMPED WATER ON HIS HEAD.
19. JESUS ENUNCIATED THE GOLDEN RULE, WHICH SAYS TO DO UNTO OTHERS BEFORE THEY DO ONE TO YOU. HE ALSO EXPLAINED A MAN DOTH NOT LIVE BY SWEAT ALONE.

20. IT WAS A MIRICLE WHEN JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND MANAGED TO GET THE TOMBSTONE OFF THE ENTRANCE...

21. THE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOWED THE LORD WERE CALLED THE 12 DECIBELS.

22. THE EPISTELS WERE THE WIVES OF THE APOSTLES.

23.. ONE OF THE OPPOSSUMS WAS ST. MATTHEW WHO WAS ALSO A TAXIMAN.

24. ST.. PAUL CAVORTED TO CHRISTIANITY, HE PREACHED HOLY ACRIMONY WHICH IS ANOTHER NAME FOR MARRAIGE.

25. CHRISTIANS HAVE ONLY ONE SPOUSE. THIS IS CALLED MONOTONY.

A Chuckle for the Day





1. HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?

-You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. -- Alan, age 10



-No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry... God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.-- Kristen, age 10





2. WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?



Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.

-- Camille, age 10





3. HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF 2 PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?



You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.

--Derrick, age 8





4. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?



Both don't want any more kids. -- Lori, age 8



5. WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?



-Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.. -- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)



-On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date. -- Martin, age 10



6. WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?



-When they're rich. -- Pam, age 7



-The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.

- - Curt, age 7



-The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do. - - Howard, age 8



7. IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?



It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. -- Anita, age 9 (bless you child )



8. HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?



There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?-- Kelvin, age 8

Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a dump truck . -- Ricky , age 10
Still I Rise

by Maya Angelou


You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
thanks donna:




THE NEXT SURVIVOR SERIES

Six married men
will be dropped on an island
with one car and
3 kids each for six weeks .

Each kid will play
two sports
and either take music
or dance classes .

There is NO fast food !


Each man must take care of his 3 kids;
keep his assigned house clean ,
correct all homework, I>
complete science projects , cook, do laundry, and pay a list of 'pretend' bills
with not enough money !

In addition, each man
will have to budget
for groceries each week.

Each man
must remember birthdays
of all their friends and relatives ,
and send ca rds out on time

no emailing .

Each man must also
take each child
to a doctor's appointment ,
a dentist appointment
and a haircut appointment .

He must make
one unscheduled and inconvenient
visit per child to Urgent Care.

He must also
make cookies or cupcakes
for a social function.

Each man will be responsible for
decorating his assigned house,
planting flowers outside
and keeping it presentable
at all times .

The men will only have access to television
when the kids are asleep
and all chores are done .
The men must
shave their legs ,
wear makeup daily ,
adorn himself with jewelry,
wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes ,
keep fingernails polished
and eyebrows groomed .

During one of the six weeks ,
the men will have to endure severe
abdominal cramps, back aches,
have extreme, unexplained mood swings
but never once complain or
slow down from other duties.

They must attend
weekly school meetings, church,
and find time at least once
to spend the afternoon
at the park or a similar setting.

They will need to read a book
to the kids each night.

In the morning,
feed them , dress them ,
brush their teeth and
comb their hair by 7:00 am .

A test will be given
at the end of the six weeks,
and each father will be required to know

ALL of the following information:
each child's birthday,
height, weight,
shoe size, clothes size
and doctor's name.
Also the child's weight at birth,
length, time of birth,
and length of labor,
each child's favorite color,
middle name,
favorite snack,
favorite song,
favorite drink,
favorite toy,
biggest fear and
what they want to be when they grow up !




The kids will vote them off the island
based on performance !

The last man wins only if...
he still has enough energy
to be intimate with his spouse
at a moment's notice.

If the last man does win,
he can play the game over
and over
and over again

for the next 18-25 years,
eventually earning the right
To be called Mother !


After you get done laughing,
send this to all the females you
think will get a kick out of it and
as many men as you think can
handle it.

Just don't send it back to me....
I'm going to bed.

it's a very quiet day round here.
going to roast a half turkey breast later.

not sure what else i'm going to do. i have a few books i've been reading- a chapter from one, then maybe a chapter from another. (have i mentioned lately that REGLAN SUCKS??? fucking brain damage- like i didn't have enough, a POX upon that doctor)

snow flurries and grey out- sun -i was blue skies and sun!

there was EASTER candy for sale at the drug store!!! i saw the displays when i went to refill my meds. cripes.

i'm going to have to make an appointment for a physical- in the spring. i KNOW i'm going to be in for a lot of tests. i wouldn't mind it so much if they did them like they USED to do them. put you in the hospital for a day and just do them ALL. having to schedule 4 or 5 tests at different places on different days and in some cases- having to get a ride home cause you aren't allowed or are not up to driving is such a major hassle.

i've been putting it off and i know better but it always seemed as if there was something going on with others and i never made the time for me. that is my fault.

hummm, wonder what else i can make with that turkey???
