I had a wonderful Thanksgiving too. We got back last night from my mothers. She is struggling to remember, but after all she's 89 and I struggle with memory too And like dojilynn I am happy the Cowboys won, now if they can pull off a win on Thursday, I think we'll be very happy! And what a surprise to see Jeff!

ILNC, I love ya, honestly I do. But we are going to have to disagree on something. I'm so very sorry...but...

I'm a die-hard Pack fan. Not only do I love to watch Favre play, he is a fellow Mississippian.

Regardless, it's going to be a heck of a gam.e

Awww, aiangel, I was so disappointed to see you are a Packers fan!

Just joking...I'm looking forward to the game as well. It should be a great one.

Hey no problem aiangel, I think Bret is as cute as he can be, I hope the Boys don't hurt his face but really want them to win! I'm a die hard Cowboys fan, always have been, always will be. But I do enjoy good clean rivalry.

Something upbeat for me is I am taking another online course. This one is to teach me the official way to use Word. All the hard things I don't know how to do already. I have three others lined up for the next few months. Each class lasts for 6 weeks with an additional 2 weeks to complete work and take the final exam. I am so excited to be doing this.

That's great! That's really what I need to do someday. I have Microsoft Office and I know how to use a lot of it...especially Publisher ...but there is so much I don't know. I only know how to do the stuff that I need to do, but I know there is so much more I can do on there...especially Excel.

Congrats on being able to take the classes!

Default Tthe Ten Commandments of Love

I found this behind a very old photo of myself and dh..I think it is such good advice..

1..Thou shalt put thy mate before thy mother, thy father, thy son and thy
daughter, for thy mate is thy lifelong companion..

2..Abuse not thy body with excessive food, tobacco, drink, or any foreign
substancethat goeth in thy arm or up thy nose.

3..Do not forget that cleanliness is a virtue.

4..Permit neither thy business nor thy hobby to make thee a stranger to thy
children, for the most precious gift a parent can give his/her family is
time..

5. Make not a begger of thy mate. Willingly share with him/her thy worldly
goods.

6..Forget not to say "I love you". For even though thy love may be
constant,thy mate doth yearn to hear those cherished words.

7..Remember that the approval of thy mate is worth far more than the
adoring glances of a hundred strangers, so cleave unto thy mate and
forsake all others.

8..Keep thy home in good repair, for out of it cometh the joys of old age
(not to mention resale value)

9..Forgive with love, for who among us does not need forgiveness?

0...Honor thy Lord, thy God all the days of thy life, and thy children will
and bless you...

True Story from Sean Beaver, KCKC President??

And we wonder why KCK is in such a state.... ??? LOL

I received this in an e-mail. I haven't laughed this hard in forever.. hopefully you are wearing your depends when you read this!!!

Ok after Stephany stoped laughing at my dums a$$ she made me promise to write this down while it was fresh in my mind. Read the entire story of mine. You too will have eternal laughs at my expense.

Last weekend I saw something at Waldo Pistol & Pawn Shop in KC that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 5th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for Stephany. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety. WAY TOO COOL!

Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home.

I loaded two triple-a batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arch of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.?? AWESOME!!!?

Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Stephany what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave!

Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-A batteries,
right?! !??

There I sat in my recliner, my dog Lilo looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Lilo (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet dog. But, if I was going to give this thing to my fiance to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong???

So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and taser in another.

The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would reportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.? ? All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and (loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-A batteries) thinking to myself, "no possible way!"??

What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best...

I'm sitting there alone, Lilo looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, "don't do it dumba$$," reasoning that a one-second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one-second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button and...

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, SON OF A B#$%!!!

I'm pretty sure Hulk Hogan ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs!

The darn dog was standing over me making growling sounds I had never heard before, licking my face, undoubtedly thinking to herself, "Do it again, stupid, do it again!"

Note: If you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a taser, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one-second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor. A three-second burst would be considered conservative.

SON-OF-A-*%#... That hurt like **% !!!

A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. How did they get up there??? My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs.

I'm still looking for my testicles! I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!!

P. S. Stephany loved the gift, and now regularly threatens me with it!

If you think Education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!! I am going kiting next time!
