General Chitchat for November

Thanks everyone, my son had this Koko video on his faceook page and he commented "I didn't know that humans aren't the ones that can smile".

Maybe this joke could go into George's run for president thread:

An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand and pulling a
male buffalo with the other. He says to the waiter:
"Want coffee."
The waiter says, "Sure Chief. Coming right up."
He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee..
The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp, turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun, causing parts of the animal to splatter everywhere and then just walks out.

The next morning the Indian returns.
He has his shotgun in one hand, pulling another male buffalo with the other.
He walks up to the counter and says to the waiter:
"Want coffee."
The waiter says, "Whoa, Tonto!
We're still cleaning up your mess from yesterday. What was all that about, anyway?"
The Indian smiles and proudly says,
"Training for position in United States Congress.
Come in, drink coffee, shoot the bull, leave mess for others to clean up,

Oh, cindi, that was great. Am copying it to send to my friends as email.(Guess you'll get to see it again).

Lmao. Love it Cindigirl!

Hope you lovely chickadees are doing well. I haven't been online much the past couple of weeks. Seems like I run around like crazy this time of year. Plus my daughter has 2 school projects that I've been helping with. I swear some of the stuff they're doing in 3rd grade is stuff we learned in high school, like algebra and geometry. jeez!

Did you guys hear about Duggars going to have their 20th kid? Holy hell! They need to give her poor clown car uterus a rest. Don't even get me started on those people. lol

ROFLMAO MyGirl you REALLY crack me up. You have the best sense of humor. You should write for Dlist.

LOL, I love Dlisted so that would be an honor but I don't hold a candle some of those posters. Hilarious!

They rank right up there with the Lohans and the Kardashians in my book. They may say they're not on any type of assistance & I applaud them for that but where would they be if they weren't out on the FameHo Stroll selling their 'reality' show and book?
BillyBobJimBo WhatEverTheF*ck his name is, needs to become aquanited with the term pull n' pray and give it a rest. LOL

Seriously though, if there was ever a person who needs to hit menapause early, its her. They have a kid every what 12-18mos, if she's pregnant for 9mos and breast feeds for 6 mos (like they've said) how the hell does she get pregnant so soon? You'd think her monthly cycles would be F'd up so bad. I know you can technically get pregnant while BFing but still...you'd think it wouldn't happen 20 times.

That's a great video, Cindigirl!

Ugh, that woman needs to sew her damn leg shut. I guess she's liking the spotlight. Freak.

Proud dog parent moment. The Boston Terrier Rescue Club has put out a 2012 calendar and my dog has 3 pictures in it. She's famous. I better buy a calendar for my mom to show off her granddog.

Hi it'me - I may be wrong but I'm just trying to explain. I think BFing means "doing the nasty" and getting pregnant while you're still breast feeding shouldn't happen 20 times. Someone please correct me it I'm wrong --- it's been a long time since I "breast fed." LOL

Congratulations, Sandwiches!

You got it right Cindi. lol

Thanks MyGirl. I wonder about my mental abilities sometimes. I just called my cable company complaining that my internet didn't work and while on the phone with the poor guy I realized I inadvertently turned off the main wall switch to the cable hookup. That's it, I'm losing it. AND I distinctly heard him snickering in the background. Dementia here I come. LOL

And, congratulations Sandwiches, I love terriers.

" she's expecting again at 45 "


it's amazing, in this case

but not only there
45 is a dangerous age
in pregnancy

even if this 'old' mums are always increasing in number

congrats sandwiches , it's nice news

Ok mini rant here - the Greeks are upset that the rest of the world doesn't want to fund their good times & outrageous pensions.

Well let's all turn around and let the Greeks bf us cause it's going to be just as painful if they default on their loans.

Is it just me or does it sound like Greece is a country full of delusional self entitled people? Same as the goons on wall street!

WORDS YOU DON'T HEAR ANYMORE.

Be sure to refill the ice trays, we're going to have company.
Watch for the postman, I want to get this letter to Willie in the mail today ...
Quit slamming the screen door when you go out !
Be sure and pull the windows down when you leave, it looks like a shower is coming up.

Don't forget to wind the clock before you go to bed.
Wash your feet before you go to bed, you've been playing outside all day barefooted.

Why can't you remember to roll up your britches legs? Getting them caught in the bicycle chain so many times is tearing them up.
You have torn the knees out of that pair of pants so many times there is nothing left to put a patch on.

Don't you go outside with your school clothes on!
Go comb your hair, it looks like the rats have nested in it all night.

Be sure and pour the cream off the top of the milk when you open the new bottle.
Take that empty bottle to the store with you so you won't have to pay a deposit on another one.

Put a dish towel over the cake so the flies won't get on it.
Quit jumping on the floor! I have a cake in the oven and you are going to make it fall if you don't quit!
Let me know when the Fuller Brush man comes by, I need to get a few things from him.
You boys stay close by, the car may not start and I will need you to help push it off.

There's a dollar in my purse, get 5 gallons of gas when you go to town.
Open the back door and see if we can get a breeze through here, it is getting hot..

You can walk to the store; it won't hurt you to get some exercise.
Don't sit too close to the TV. It is hard on your eyes.

If you pull that stunt again, I am going to wear you out!
Don't lose that button; I'll sew it back on after a while.

Wash under your neck before you come to the table, you have beads of dirt and sweat all under there.
Get out from under the sewing machine; pumping it messes up the thread!
Be sure and fill the lamps this morning so we don't have to do that tonight in the dark.

Here, take this old magazine to the toilet with you when you go, we are almost out of paper out there.
Go out to the well and draw a bucket of water so I can wash dishes.
Don't turn the radio on now, I want the battery to be up when the Grand Ole Opry comes on.

No! I don't have 10 cents for you to go to the show. Do you think money grows on trees?
Eat those turnips, they'll make you big and strong like your daddy.
That dog is NOT coming in this house! I don't care how cold it is out there, dogs don't stay in the house.

Sit still! I'm trying to get your hair cut straight and you keep moving and it is all messed up.
Hush your mouth! I don't want to hear words like that! I'll wash your mouth out with soap!
It is time for your system to be cleaned out. I am going to give you a dose of castor oil tonight.
If you get a spanking in school and I find out about it, you'll get another one when you get home.

Quit crossing your eyes! They will get stuck that way!
Soak your foot in this pan of kerosene so that bad cut won't get infected.
When you take your driving test, don't forget to signal each turn.
Left arm straight out the window for a left turn;
left arm bent up at the elbow for a right turn;
and straight down to the side of the door when you are going to stop.

It's: 'Yes Ma'am!' and 'No Ma'am!' to me, young man, and don't you forget it!
Y'all come back now, ya hear.

I truly regret some of you are young enough that

you missed out on most of these great memories.!!

I am very pissed they're going to drag down the world economy with them. Our PM pretty much said they have the means to do it on their own so that's what they should do. There's no such thing as free money.

Oh, and thanks everyone. It's a small thing but I was pretty proud of my girl.

Patty, hahah - this is my favorite: "Quit crossing your eyes! They will get stuck that way!

I was watching TV last night and saw Herman Cane (sp?) denying the fact that he molested those three women. He said "I have never met these women." It reminded me of former President Clinton stating "I have never had sex with that woman." It made me want to throw up in my mouth. I had to switch channels.

Lorna Doone, great rant.
Sandwiches, every country needs to try and make do on their own in these times. I wish the US politicians would get their sh-t together and work to do something for our country instead of their own private agendas. Congrats on your baby's new modeling career.
Cindigirl, I find that mans denials hard to believe, like we need a president that treats co-workers with so much disrespect. Monica L. was a willing participant, not that it made what Clinton did right, but the signs were there before we elected Clinton into office.

Did you guys hear about Duggars going to have their 20th kid? Holy hell! They need to give her poor clown car uterus a rest. Don't even get me started on those people. lol

They already have 19 children. What are they trying to prove? She is not doing her uterus a favor. Well, at least they are financially providing for their children, not like Nadya "Octomom" Suliman, who expects welfare to take care of children she really should not have had in the first place.

Don't mean to sound less than charitable, but last time she got pregnant, interest in show increased back to what it had been. Perhaps ratings were less than stellar again, so .........!
I hope I'm wrong, but if I am, I still think that they are two very selfish individuals. Their lack of disregard for the children they already have by taking this kind of risk (even if she is having C section), is so wrong. The fact that the older children are so responsible for the younger ones to the point of not having a "normal" adolescence is sad. I'm a firm believer is children doing chores but Momma seems to delegate more than their fair share. If they can't stop screwing, at least wear a condom (at this point, religious convictions be damned).

When former president Clinton made that statement about not having sex with that girl he earned himself the title 'President Happy Pants." LOL

Very true Lucy. Here in Canada we have faired a lot better than many other countries but it's by no means a great time financially. Our housing market has not dropped. In fact it keeps climbing up, and I'm in the second most expensive city to live in Canada (probably North America) as far as housing goes.

Clinton should not have lied. The fool.

Here's a joke that was just sent to me:

JENNY CRAIG FOR MEN!

A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program..
 
The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a
 voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of
 Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.
 
She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company.
 
The sign reads, 'If you can catch me, you can have me.'
 
Without a second thought, he takes off after her. A few miles later
 huffing and puffing, he finally gives up..
 
The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens.
 
On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost
 10 lbs. as promised.
 
He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program.
 
The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning,
 beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life.. She is wearing
 nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, 'If you catch me you can have me'.
 
Well, he's out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent
 shape and he does his best, but no such luck. So for the next four days,
 the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better
 shape.
 
Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers
 that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised. He decides to go for broke
 and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program
 
'Are you sure?' asks the representative on the phone... 'This is our most
 rigorous program.'
 
'Absolutely,' he replies, 'I haven't felt this good in years.'
 
The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a
 huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes
 and a sign around his neck that reads, 'If I catch you, you're mine.'
 
He lost 63 pounds that week.

fabulous!


the old quote is amazing....
what was that?
'50/'60
or less?

beh?
e l'urlo di Munch?

why sandw?

Couldn't agree more.

ROTFLMAO @ that joke Sandwiches!

Some folklore sent to me by email. I cut it down, it was longer but I didn't want to bore you folks too much.

Where did "Piss Poor" come from?
They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot and then once a day it was taken and sold to the tannery...
if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor".
But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot...
they "didn't have a pot to piss in" and were the lowest of the low.
Where did the term "dirt poor" come from?
The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt.
Hence the saying, "Dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors.
Threshold
In the winter the slate floors would get wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing.
As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way.
Hence: a thresh hold.
Dead Ringer or Saved By The Bell
England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people.
So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave.
When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks
on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive.
So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell.
Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be,
saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer.

I hope you all enjoyed the "Carol Burnett Show". Here's a great clip.

I don't have time to watch it now... Is it the one with Tim Conway flying? I loved that skit!

I'd like to take this moment to thank all the soldiers for our freedom. Happy Remembrance Day, as we say in Canada. Lest we forget.

And to all that have served and are currently serving - God Bless You All!!!!

@ Sandwiches:
Very nice thought, Happy Remembrance Day, from Calgary,Alberta

Beautiful picture sandwiches...
Yes... Grateful rememberance... and more blessings for their families...

Is anyone thinking of the 11.11.11 today? Just wondering out loud...

God bless the veterans, their families and the soldiers fighting in Afghanistan.

My thoughts go out to all who have served and are serving! That includes family members! They serve too, in their own way! Thank you!

Interesting... It's me... So you're not with me...

Feel like I should be doing something today but...eh...It's cool & windy out so I think a good trashy novel sounds like a plan...

I love your new avatar MyGirl. It's cool and windy here today too so I'll resume my computer geekhood and stay on my computer. LOL

And, by "trashy" I asssume you mean dirty. Please share with us.

Thanks.

You know me too well, of course they're dirty. LOL! I found some erotic novels on the clearance table at Books A Million the other day for like $3 each.

The Carrefourshops in Belgium support the Armani Whatever-it-takes products. Well done ! I'm going to get me some Armani !

I can't find these products on this site though http://www.whateverittakes.org/. Products at the Carrefour are plaids, cushions, bed and bath linnen with the "hope" sign on it.
