Try arguing those points with an officer, after an accident. MAY cause dizziness. Use CAUTION when driving a car. Doesn't say WILL cause dizziness, DON'T drive a car. A trace found in your blood, guilty! Why was the cat driving? Unknown.

This is what also happens when you don't send thank-you cards to your grandparents for the money checks you get for Christmas and your birthdays.

This is what also happens when you don't send thank-you cards to your grandparents for the money checks you get for Christmas and your birthdays. Or your wedding! Noý_ amount of asking, or encouragement could get DD2 to send a Thank you note to her grandfather, for the check he gave them. I think she intended to, but it didn't happen.

I can't believe we used to print out four pages of Mapquest and travel like pirates Growing up I got the job of scotch taping my dad’s paper road maps when the folds started to rip. I swear he had maps of every city/state in the US we traveled through. And we did a lot of road trips. He never threw a map away. He loved his large road atlas book too. He loved making detour trips off the highway to check out a new area and make us kids pay attention to what we were passing. Boy would my mom get super mad because then my dad would get lost and there would be a lot of time wasted driving and stopping to recheck his map.

Back in the summer of '66 me and my family plus our dog made a six week road trip from Massachusetts to California and back with lots of stops along the way visiting family and national parks in our station wagon and pulling a camper. We lived by a AAA road TripTik map. Looking back on that trip, so glad now we did it. I could then brag to my friends I had travelled beyond the Hudson River and they had not. But being 15 years old at the time, I really wanted to stay at home and be with my friends.

This will be my tree, this year. But my stand will either be silver, or white and my ornament will be an earring. (I'll take the tip off a branch, of a tree outside my bldg.) 😊 Thanks for the idea. I haven't had a Christmas tree in years! I do have a beautiful big birdhouse, with tiny real lights on it. I'll put the tree next to the birdhouse. 🎄

I have to share this picture, because I just love it. The original post said "We raid the cookie jar at dawn". Then someone else added "It takes a child to raze a village".

There are some people with nordic ancestory that have names like Terrible and Mr McNasty. OK I made that up because I am in brain overload etc. So sucks to be me sonetimes.

I haven't had a Christmas tree in years! I do have a beautiful big birdhouse, with tiny real lights on it. I'll put the tree next to the birdhouse. 🎄 I have a very old artificial tree in basement storage. The basement has been through many changes including 2 inches to a foot or more of standing water. And back then they did not notify us. Actually, I do not complain enough for them to watch after my side of the basement. Lights on for weeks, water heaters breaking and water everywhere etc. etc. I have a plastic squishy tree with a star on it. Less than 4 inches tall. And sometimes I use what I call nature's art supplies.

I did one time. The woman in front of me at the grocery store was being checked out by the cashier. The woman paid by check. After the cashier was all done with her, the woman remained in front of the cashier balancing her checkbook. While balancing her checkbook the woman's cell phone rang. The woman took the call and did 't move while still standing in front of the cashier. I could not load my groceries on the belt so the cashier could start scanning my goods because the woman's cart and who was on her cell phone and balancing her checkbook while standing in front of the cashier was blocking my cart from moving up to the belt. I gave the woman's cart a slight shove to get the woman's attention. She gave me an evil eye and I mouthed "Move". I mouthed 'move' because I didn't want to interrupt the woman while she was on her cell phone call while she still balanced her checkbook standing in front of the cashier.

I say Xcuse you or whatever seems appropriate. Balancing your checkbook while by the cashier is a foreign idea to me What, you can't walk to your car and post it there? Even back in the IT days and I was on call, I would not block a cashier line even if I was actively buying food. I would tell them I am at the grocery store, it will take me Z minutes to be home. I will call you then, or please find the fallback person and call them.

Opti puts on halo after slipping into the restroom and then ... An Angel appeared before them ... Opti contemplates - do you think I could get some frankinsense and gold? I wont ask them to buy Apple gift cards just strongly suggest the Lord has need of a white horse or its modern equivalent a white Honda!
a white Telsa?This Angel is still workshopping this story. Wonder if there is a good way to imply a blue exterior on a vehicle for God would be a good thing. Baptism car? [img class="smile" src="//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/embarrassed.png" alt=" "]

But the halo, is MINE! 😉
