GEORGE R. R. MARTIN

We march to victory or we march to defeat, but we go forward — only forward.

```````````````````````

Curious Kids

Our six-year-old daughter, Terra, has a need to ask questions … lots of questions. Finally, one day, my wife had had it.

"Have you ever heard that curiosity killed the cat?" my wife asked.

"No," replied Terra.

"Well, there was a cat, and he was very inquisitive. And one day, he looked into a big hole, fell in, and died!"

Terra was intrigued: "What was in the hole?"

````````````````````

Waiting Room

I sat in the doctor’s waiting room watching a young mother try desperately to control her three loud children. "They’re not a very good advertisement, are they?" she groaned apologetically.

A man muttered, "Only if you’re advertising contraceptives."

````````````````````````

Where You Want to Be

"Where is Pearl Harbor?" I asked my fourth-grade history class. "Here’s a hint: It’s a place where everyone wants to go."

One student blurted out, "Candy Land!"

`````````````````````````

Lincoln Memorial

When my eight-year-old sister came to visit, I took a day off from my job at the Pentagon and showed her the Lincoln Memorial. There she saw a large block of text—273 words long—etched into the monument.

"What’s that?" she asked.

"Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address," I told her.

"If that’s his address, how does he get any mail?"

`````````````````````````

Kid Philosophy

I picked up my nine-year-old daughter from school and asked how her day had gone. A few minutes later, I repeated the question, and again a few minutes after that. Instead of annoyed, Ariana was philosophical.

"Mom," she said, "your amnesia is my déjà vu."

`````````````````````````

he Warning

I should have known better than to take my four-year-old son shopping with me. I spent the entire time in the mall chasing after him. Finally, I’d had it. "Do you want a stranger to take you?!" I scolded.

Thrilled, he yelled back, "Will he take me to the zoo?"

`````````````````````````

he Warning

Thrilled, he yelled back, "Will he take me to the zoo?"

```````````````````````````

Looking For Mom

While my three-year-old grandson was attending a birthday party, his friend’s father sneaked off to take a shower before work. Halfway through, the father heard a tapping on the shower door, followed by the sight of my grandson peering in. Looking around the stall, he asked, "Is my mom in here?"

More: Kids’ Jokes

````````````````````````

Picture Frame

My daughter loved the picture frame her five-year-old son bought her for Mother’s Day. She found a photograph of him and replaced the cat photo that came with it. Landon became upset: "Why are you putting a picture of me in there when I bought you a picture of a cat?"

``````````````````````````

Showing Off

My 13-year-old nephew thought his "gangsta" outfit—low-riding pants and exposed boxers—made him look cool. That is, until the day his five-year-old cousin took notice. "Nathaniel," she yelled out in front of everyone. "Your panties are showing."

`````````````````````

Overachievers

All parents are proud of overachieving children, and one father was no exception. The bumper sticker on his car read "My Kid Made Your License Plate."

```````````````````````````

Hair Loss

Our friend tells everyone that he began losing his hair while serving in Vietnam. His granddaughter incorporated that information into her grade school history report on the war. She wrote, "My Grandpa went to Vietnam and got his hair shot off."

`````````````````````````

Weight Watchers

Following his motivational talk at a Weight Watchers meeting, my father noticed one client’s small son climbing onto a scale.

"Don’t go on that, Joey," warned the boy’s slightly older brother.

"It makes people cry."



Once again proving that kids say and do the darndest things.

`````````````````````````````

Good morning everyboomie. welcome


Welcome to your lazy Sunday morning. happydance


Right now I'm hoping I can get through my lazy Saturday night. My AC is trying to go out, and not keeping it very cool inside here. It's running non-stop, and it's 80 degrees. taz


There is cool air coming out of the vents, it's just not enough. It's 86 degrees outside. I turned it off for a while hoping it was just froze up. It probably just needs coolant, but that won't happen before Monday, being optimistic. smirk


I may need to go get a fan tomorrow. yes


Have a happy day everyone. thumbsup

Good morning Joe, I hope your AC can get you through the weekend. It's chilly here and we have the windows open.

SpaceQ, have a wonderful day!

I think I'm heading back to the city again today. My train ticket was good for the whole weekend so I may just go back while hubby golfs.

Have a happy day all!

Super Sunday ya'll puppy

It's Soot's Birthday....birthday kissy

We are going to see Beauty and the Beast this afternoon and then beat feet home to wait for the Bright House Guy to come who probably won't come because they put down my home phone number as the contact number and my home phone isn't working! Neither is my internet...taking 10 minutes to load a page. Called them yesterday and they asked me what day next week I'd like them to come. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!!!

Joe, my AC is running a lot too, but its hot hot hot here. Only getting to the mid to high 70's for a little bit in the wee wee hours of the morning.

Enjoy your day, Space.

Ana, I'm on my way. Chilly joy

Gerry, Coffee sounds just the thing. Thanks.

Connie, enjoy your breakfast.

Space, hope your day is exactly as you like it.

Gail, sounds like a wonderful plan.

Venus, wave

Good afternoon all. It's 88 here today, but I'm not feeling it. I have both air conditioning and a fan going! laugh Unfortunately, my leg is really hurting from some surgery last month so I'm not enjoying it as much as I should. I have a new SSD drive in my computer and it feels like it's brand new! Hope it cools down for you soon, Joe. Would like to stay on the computer longer, but I have to go prop my leg up. Wishing a good day for you all.

SharonB what's an SSD drive please? I'm showing my ignorance, sorry.

I think the temperature is in the 70's right now. A welcome change from all the 90's we've been having. I'm off to the 2nd part of my split shift soon. I hope you're all having a great day today.

An SSD drive is a digital drive - doesn't have any moving parts. Its like ram memory but of course its more permanent. Its much faster than a regular hard drive. I really like it. I'm not explaining it very well though, maybe someone else here can give a better definition. think Take it easy on your second shift.

Hey everybody. wave2

Well, my AC worked ok all night. When I got up this morning I turned it off for a couple of hours. I took the dogs to the park, and when I got home, I turned the AC back on. It has worked ok all day, until now, the hottest part of the day, and then it stopped cooling again, so I know the compressor is freezing up. I turned it off again. I'm keeping everything closed like the door, and the blinds, and have my ceiling fan going, so I can stay cool while it thaws. razz

It's funny that I keep getting this promotional offer from my electric company that they will pay up to $175 dollars toward having my AC unit serviced, and I keep putting it aside and ignoring it. slapforehead

I guess I'll contact them tomorrow. lol

In the mean time, I don't want to get on my treadmill, because I sweat enough when I'm on it while it's cool in here. lol

Also I've been playing NiBiRu all day, and enjoying it very much.......again. thumbsup

I hope everyone is having a great Sunday. yes


joe

The Tall Ships Fest was so crowded today! eek It's really nice taking the train and not dealing with traffic but I don't like being bound by the train schedule. You miss a train and it's two hours for another one. Made it home and ready to play a game for a change. yay

Hope you are all enjoying your day!

Joe, glad your AC is doing well enough to see you through till you can get it checked.
