Omigosh - enjoy your visit with Northwoods!

Do you wear glasses ? yes, ma'am I do - since 7th or 8th grade

For those of us that need not only "far away distance assistance" but the little extra "my arms have gotten to short" help This is just starting to happen to me - WTH!?

In honor of "Come and Take it day" Oh my - got me thinking of that great Al Green song..."here I am baby, come and take me..."

What around your home would you invite folks to "Please, come and take it away" ? Sorry, now I'm singing

How many different kind of Lawyers do you know ? Enough to shake a stick at.

Last time you wore a hat ? last week! Used to wear one all the time in middle school but had to stop after Todd B wore one and they said boys couldn't wear hats inside...so girls couldn't either

Garlic : Yay or Nay ? Yay all the way baby!


Today in History:
1857 - American Chess Association organized; 1st major U.S. chess tournament (New York City)
1866 - 1st train robbery in U.S. I know it's wrong but oh what a wild ride that would be.
1893 - Nabisco Foods invents Cream of Wheat
1945 - Tavern owner "Billy Goat" Sianis buys seat for his goat for Game 4 of World Series and is escorted out, he casts goat curse on Cubs Mmmm, goat is tasty
1967 - Haight-Ashbury hippies throw a "funeral" to mark end of hippies

Word of the Day:
expediency (ek-SPEE-dee-uhn-see) noun
1. Consideration of what is advantageous or easy or immediate over what
is right.
2. The quality of being suited for a purpose.

Hello everyone! I have some catching up to do.... I missed a few days for
"not so fun" reasons but hopefully can get back on track now!

Today's Question(s):

not any more - had lasik surgery about 3 yrs ago (do have 1.00 cheaters around for really small print however)

Extra Credit Question:

Do you have

Lined bifocals ?

No line progressive ?

Just for Fun:

How many different kind of Lawyers do you know ?

YAY!

To answer a few of the last couple of days questions ---

Longest lived somewhere -- here 26 yrs
Longest in one residence -- here 17 yrs
Shortest in one place -- 3 months (although not "officially" living with my step grandparents I did go to the school by them for all of one week!)
Distance to city born in -- about 180 miles
Distance to city graduated from -- 23 miles
First Car --my baby -- '69 Malibu Chevelle Convertible (it's in the garage waiting to be restored - all it takes is money!)
Rent at first apartment I think was $100/mo. It was an attic apartment and my bedroom window looked out over a funeral home.

Hope everyone has a great day!
