LOL Hippy, good thought!

I forgot to share my embarrassing moment. Last night, door bell rings (the only time that usually happens is salesmen, and ring and run kids!)

So, I open the door to the POLICE! AAaaaack! Ok,it ok its "Officer Friendly" from school, he says "Oh, uhoh, we probably have the wrong house, but do you own a lil red car? Yes, and who's driving, no was it involved in a hit and run? I smiled, and had my cell phone, and said dh is at the swim meet at the high school, not that I know of, he is the Scoutmaster! BUT last year ds ran that car thru the garage door. Officer says, that explains it, have your dh meet my officer at the door, and we had a report a red car was involved in a hit and run, and ran to the high school... ooops.

LOL So I call dh, dahlin, go outside and talk to the nice police officer please, oh and btw you werent in a "hit and run" today were you?" "NO > what???"

LOL< poor dh!! *G*

Good Morning! At least it's Survivor day. There's lots of flooding around here from the overnight rain. I hope no one has floated away.

Our office is still a sick house. Lots of head colds, pukey stomach virus and the boss still has pneumonia (but getting a bit better). I'm going to o.d. on some vitamin C.

OK, since its not the grouching thread, I just had to say, FINALLY!! It feels like December here, the sun is shining, and you can see your breath! Much more "refreshing" than that pouring rain yesterday!! Cold is relative, I'll give you that Ladyt, it is too cold for Texas, but for chicago, 37, is too hot!!

"Its beginning to look like Christmas, everywhere I go...."

Good Morning, Mocha and everyone else! Its 44 degrees here and partially sunny. This is Buffalo???

We have to show an apt at 1PM and its now 10:15AM and I woke up at 6AM after only 2 hours of sleep and couldn't get back to sleep. I have a feeling my day is shot to hell.

Good Morning! :)

I learned today that alright is not a word! "alright is the incorrect spelling of all right, meaning 'satisfactory or okay' (and yes, I got out my glasses (that I never use, they make me dizzy, but I had to read the fine print in the dictionary out loud to my 6th graders!!) and read the definition from Websters! (they were more forgiving btw, but in the end, all right is 2 words, much like that a lot word being 2 words - go figure!!)

*sigh yet another word I mess up!! *g

Okay, it's up to 53 now ... this is a bit better ... yes, I know I'm whining, but I'm a transplanted Chicagoan that takes great pleasure in rubbing it in my families face when it is warm here and not there ... can't do that when it's not warm here

Yes, Ladyt, I know what you mean. Today and yesterday I had the weather channel on, listening to it in the background while I did other things. Time for "your weather on the 8's" kept coming up and when the sun started to rise up from the horizon the temp jumped 5° in 8 minutes! LOL Gotta love that Texas weather.

All my family members living up north love the cold weather and say "I live in the boondocks"! Little do they know <sigh>

However I do envy my son. He lives where it really never gets cold - Hawaii.

At least it is warmer today than yesterday, and the wind!!!! It was bad, but now it's moved on across to Atlanta. (Sorry) We've got partly sunny fair skies, 25% humidity, 14 mph wind and 67° temp! Yahooooooo

Zules feels like sharing....

A friend of mine (yes, she's blonde) was up for a promotion at work and is sure she's a shoe in.

The owner instead gives the job to his nephew.

She calls me all upset to tell me and she says "Well, there's nothing like a little necrophilia at work!"

We were both in fits when I told her about her little flub!

Hey Reader, thanks for the info. Wow, who knew. I found this at dictionary.com:

Usage Note: Despite the appearance of the form alright in works of such well-known writers as Langston Hughes and James Joyce, the single word spelling has never been accepted as standard. This is peculiar, since similar fusions such as already and altogether have never raised any objections. The difference may lie in the fact that already and altogether became single words back in the Middle Ages, whereas alright has only been around for a little more than a century and was called out by language critics as a misspelling. Consequently, one who uses alright, especially in formal writing, runs the risk that readers may view it as an error or as the willful breaking of convention.
