Airport Security Suggestion....


An engineer (ex-NASA project director) has what I think is
the near perfect solution for airport security!

*Here's a solution to all the controversy over full-body
scanners at the airports. Have a booth that you can step into
that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device
you may have on you.*

*It would be a win-win for everyone, and there would be none of this
hub bub about racial profiling and this method would eliminate a long
and expensive trial. Justice would be quick and swift..*

*Case Closed!*

An Egyptian man is walking through the Cairo bazaar, when a stranger comes up to him and offers to sell Viagra (illegal in Egypt) for 100 Egyptian pounds.

"No, not worth it!"

"OK, how about 50 Egyptian pounds?"

"No, not worth it!"

"OK, 20?"

"No, not worth it!"

"How about 10?"

"No, not worth it!"

"Listen, these pills cost US $10 each. How can you say they are not worth it?"

"Oh, the pills ARE worth it. My wife is not worth it."

A blonde woman competed with a brunette woman and a redheaded woman in the Breast Stroke
division of an English Channel swim competition. The brunette came in first, the redhead
second. The blonde woman finally reached shore completely exhausted.After being revived
with blankets and coffee she remarked, "I don't want to call anybody a cheater, but I think I saw those other two girls use their arms.

Early one morning, a mother went in to wake up her son.

"Wake up, son. It's time to go to school!"

"But why, Mom? I don't want to go."

"Give me two reasons why you don't want to go."

"Well, the kids hate me for one, and the teachers hate me also!"

"Oh, that's no reason not to go to school. Come on now and get ready."

"Give me two reasons why I should go to school."

"Well, for one, you're 52 years old. And for another, you're the PRINCIPAL!"

A man was speeding down the highway, feeling secure in a gaggle of cars all traveling at the same speed. However, as they passed a speed trap, he got nailed with an infrared speed detector and was pulled over. The officer handed him the citation, received his signature and was about to walk away when the man asked, "Officer, I know I was speeding, but I don't think it's fair - there were plenty of other cars around me who were going just as fast, so why did *I* get the ticket?"

"Ever go fishing?" the policeman suddenly asked the man.

"Ummm, yeah..." the startled man replied.

The officer grinned and added, "Ever catch *all* the fish?"

Those jokes are funny.

Now I know why they call them jokes.

Good morning everyboomie.

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M GOING BACK TO WORK!!!

Hi ho Hi ho, It's back to work I go.

I really would not be so cheerful about going off to work if I had a Snow White waiting at home.

Especially if I had to share her with my six brothers.

Oh well......let's hope it's a "short" day.

Have a happy day everyone.

Thanks Joe for the funny openers. Hope you work day goes quickly.

Morning Venus, Darlene, Sue, Karen....thanks for the link, Gerry, Connie and bisbet. Have a great Friday all. Think exercise.

Midgie

Midgie, I want to be exercising instead of sitting behind this desk. I promise I'll get my dose in after work in some shape.

Blsbet, hope it's a fun house or clears out quickly.

Connie, hope you dry out soon. Stay safe!

Gerry, have an awesome day!

Doc, I am so sorry to hear about Mojo. The poor baby. I hope it isn't serious. How is your sis?
Are you feeling more energetic these days?

Darlene, I hope you can relax this weekend after your long week.

Venus, hope your day goes quick.

Joe, thanks for the chuckles as always. If you find Snow White, can I have the seven dwarves? I can use a hand around the house.

It's a weird day here, lots of pow wows going on.
Auditors start on Monday. Yea!

Ana

Hope you slept well, Darlene!

Glad you're enjoying your new computer, Cailyn!

Sorry you are having such bad weather, Connie. Hope you don't have to postpone your plans!

See you later, blsbet!

Have fun gaming, Midge, if you are able to!

Hope your weird day gets less weird, Ana. Are you involved in the pow wows, or just witness to them?

Well, the rain has definitely reached us now. It is a rainy, dreary day. That could either mean a lot of customers or hardly any. We will see.

Okay, have to finish getting ready for work. See everyone when I get home!

Good morning everybody.

Happy Friday morning to you all.

It looks like it'll be a gorgeous day in these parts.

I leave for work in a half hour.

I hope you all have a super fantastical day!

See you this evening.

joe

Good Morning Boomers,

Joe, hope you have an easy day at work today.

Venus, wishing you an easy workday also.

Karen, wishing you the best with Mo. Hope he'll be okay.

Gerry, have a nice day.

Connie, knee is super now. Still have more therapy to go but should be back to normal real soon. thanks. Enjoy your shopping day.

Midgie, exercise has been my lifeline these past weeks.

Ana, wishing you an easy day today.

Going to take a short walk this morning before the downpouring of rain for the entire weekend. Then I'm going to try and get some gaming done today. Bad weather = good gaming. Wishing everyone a wonderful day!

Fantastic Friday ya'll

It's grey and rainy here and the doggies are bringing me balls and dropping them at the computer.....Lil Soot is trying to play fetch with Sir Skywalker attached to his back.

I'll be taking the wee one to the vet for a rabies shot today and then, hopefully, he'll be cleared hot! Then we just have to get hubby well so we can go parking.

Speaking of hubby, he has a dr's appointment this morning so he is home with me for a change. Son closed last night and will be up in a bit and off to pick up the PerBear.

I need to finish off daughter's taxes today...she is anxiously awaiting her refund. One of these days she is going to have a simple uncomplicated 1040, but not this year.

Mt. St. Laundry is calling, so I will scale it's sides a bit today. Blsbet, what kind of accessories go with mountain climbing gear?

We will also have to find another place to store our vegetable oil as our big bottle sprang another "leak" yesterday. Funny how the things started leaking about the time that puppy started hanging out with me in the kitchen

Speaking of the wee one, he is beginning to get his Labby coat in. It is really pretty and shiny, but I must admit, I love the soft puppy coat. Must schedule lots of cuddling before it is all covered over.

Hubby vacuumed out my puter yesterday and put in a new video card, so hopefully, it'll stay running for a bit now. Nothing makes me want to

Joe, you are a hoot. I hope you have a howling good time at work today.

Venus, may all your customers be happy and kind today.

Darlene, frolicking is just the thing to herald in the weekend.

Cailyn, hubby's new computer has Windows 7 and he is liking it too.

DocBoomBoom,crossed fingers and prayers for Mo. Is that mean horse gone yet?

Gerry, is there a new computer in your future?

Connie, we have more storms today. How bout ya'll?

Midgy, rain and more rain means stay home and play

Ana, are there smoke signals going up yet?

Gail, does a short walk mean that the knee rehab is going great?

Hello Joe, Venus, Darlene, Cailyn, Karen, Gerry, Connie, blsbet, Midge, Ana, Gail, L4L and all who come in later!

Hope you are all well! I'm starting to find myself again, thanks to my wonderful hubby and kids! It's been a trial!

I've been cleaning out the 'office' this morning, not the best of chores but at least you can see our desks now!

I've a clinic appointment shortly so will be making tracks soon. Take care boomers, see you soon!

Love you all!

Mary

Mary good to see you. Glad you got the desk cleared. Good luck with the appointment!!

Joe 9am is doable!! Hope work goes well and flies!

Venus opening is fun! May work go well and fly! Will be nice to get off early.

Karen good luck with Mo. Hope no broken bones and that it will heal quickly! HUGS!

Darlene it is Friday! May work go well and fly so ya can get started on the weekend.

Ana pow wows??? Hope they are all good ones. May work go well and fly!! Has your weather cleared yet......hasn't here.

Well granddaughter is on the cway to minneapolis to catch a flight from there to London!!


Nan

Howdy, Cailyn, Gerry, Connie, blsbet, Midgie, Ana, venus, Joe, Gail, Nan, and L4L!

Good to see you, Mary!

Hi, Karen! Yes, we'll have the kids and grandbabies here for dinner, and hopefull BIL as well. A full house!

Alrighty, gotta skoosh! See you later!

A quick "Hi" to everyone.

Got extra laundry to do. I went to a concert last nigh, which, by the way was wonderful, went to turn down the bedspread and discovered it was wet. Had to take it off and get the spread in the wash, then remove everything but the mattress cover and put clean bedding on. This at 9:30 last night. We think Cory did it. We cut Amber's toenails first and Cory took off. Must have traumatized him as he knew he was next.

Anyway, Susie is coming over and we are taking my neighbor out to lunch. She is the one who has Crests disease and has a hard time walking right now. She is such a sweetheart and we have become very good friends.

Good luck at the doctor, Soot

Gotta get going.

Have a great day everyone.

Bets

Had to get up early today. Not my idea, it's Spring. Seems the sun is coming up earlier and Little One (the wake up alarm cat) is tuned to yeowl and pound at my bedroom door when he sees sunlight. Oh well. 1/2 isn't too bad.

Had to get going anyway. My neighbor called and wants me to be the go-between with my Lawnmower Boy. She decided to hire him to pull weeds from her little flower bed so I had to call, leave a message with I 'think' his sister and hope he will stop by on his way to school. Didn't wanna give them my phone number. Nope.

So I'm waiting. Then I will drag him over there and see exactly what the job is and explain it to him so hopefully he does a good job and she will hire him for more stuff. She and I just can't get down on the ground anymore to pull weeds or do any of the 'muscle' stuff. So Larry the Lawnmower Boy might have plenty of work if this goes OK.

WARM today. Nice, glorious, heavenly. Gonna go play outside as much as I can. Ahhhhhh.

Wishing you all a nice warm sunny day.

Hi guys, back from the vet.... Sir Skywalker is 21.5 lbs and getting his labby coat and is officially cleared hot for life. Now we just need Big Soot to feel better.

We were thinking about going to Fla. this weekend to see daughter, but we are on Bear duty, so not!

Still rainy and grey and overcast...perfect day to do daughter's taxes.

WooHoo L4l glad ya can take the little one out and about. Prayers for Soot and his back.

Bets I was doing laundry too but I didn't see you there. Have fun out to lunch!!

Sorta you always have an interesting day.

Well time to think about getting ready so I can run the taxi and work the fish fry!!

Have a lovely afternoon and evening everybody!!


Nan

Welcome to the weekend Boomers. Joe I loved the airport security suggestion. It is supposed to get colder and the rain is moving in so I am going to spend the time outside while I can. Have a great evening everyone.

Home, again...

Off to find dinner!

Lawnmower Boy is next door doing a good job for my neighbor. He's pulling mega grass and weeds from a strip flower bed. And he managed to convince her that he could also plant the new geraniums she bought to go in there. Nice. So he's gonna make a bit more money and both of them are happy. He's such a nice kid, it's good that he now has another 'repeat' customer. She said she would definitely use him again. Awwww. He's like my little project.

COLD again tonight. Gotta fire up the heater or the indoorsies will be complaining.

Been a good day. Ate a lot of chocolate...uhuh.

Hey everybody.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's good to be back home.

I just finished supper, and gotta get my shower.

I have a 6:30 start tomorrow.

I hope you all enjoyed your TGIF.

joe

Welcome home, Joe!

Hi Darlene. Thanks! How was your day?

joe

Howdy everyone! It's Friday evening and I'm exhausted.
I went to the park with the dogs early and walked 3 miles and was going to the truck when my usual walker showed up and we walked again. I ended up walking just under 6 miles and the dogs did at least double that. They are exhausted too.

Here is Merlin and Shadow and their friends. Merlins girlfriend is Blossom, she is wearing the bandana next to him.

Leaving the group behind to go home Lots of playmates.

Tomorrow will be cleaning day and Sunday I'm throwing a party for Sam's birthday. It will be a full weekend.
Life is good.

Hi everyone who's still here. I ended up minding my grandchildren for Rob and Jen. I'm so glad I can do that for them whenever they need me.

Wow Ana. Six miles, good for you. I bet your feet and legs are feeling it by now.

Time for me to say good night. Sleep well.
Midgie

Hi Ana. Your walk sounds exhausting.

I walked 159 miles at work today............seems like.

I love that first picture. Looks like someone was handing out treats, and everyone was waiting. Cute.

joe

Nan, is the taxi back yet?

Quest, I liked that one too. Do you have plans for the weekend?

Darlene, what did dinner turn out to be?

Sorta, so glad Lawnmower Boy is doing a good job. Sounds like it is a win win situation!

Joe, I didn't walk 159 miles but I ran around with the puppy and chasing the Bear and I am ready to drop!

Ana, that place looks like doggie heaven. I'm so jealous!

Midgy, what a wonderful plus for them. How ya doing?

I finished daughter's taxes today and filed them. Tomorrow I'll take a look at eldest's (which should be a piece of cake) and then next I'll tackle ours.... which will not be a piece of cake. Gotta love tax time

Yup L4l the taxi is parked and I am just in from walking Miss Sassy. Think I shall sit with my feet up cause they are hurting from all the running around tonight. Was a busy fish fry!

on finishing daughters taxes. That is so kind of you to do theirs. Good luck with yours!!

Wow Ana that was a lot of walking. The dogs sure look happy though. Did ya come home and collapse on the couch??

Midge I bet that was fun to watch the grandkids!!! How exciting.

Joe you walked a lot too!! Hope the feet aren't too bad. Sleep fast tonight.

Darlene does dinner hide on you that you have to go and find it?? Just kidding. Have fun gaming.


Nan

Good night L4L, Nan, and everybody. Sweet dreams.

I'm gonna walk a few more feet back to the bed room, and crash.

joe

Midgie, my legs never really feel it, but my feet are unhappy from walking in mud boots that far.
THat's great that you babysat the kids today. I bet Rob really appreciates it and the kids are thrilled.

JOe, they think Mary had treats, but she was getting something else out of her pocket. I took advantage of them ganging up on her for a photo-op.
I would hate to walk all day like you do, I don't know how you do it.

L4L, I know your boys would love to run with mine. It would be great! There are always tennis balls too.
I'm glad SKywalker can go out now. Yippee!
Hope soot is feeling better.

Nan, I came home and showered with Merlin. He was filthy! He fell through the ice and swam and then rolled in the mud.
I bet the fish frys must be really busy with lent. You earned your rest.

Love your pics, Ana! to your Sam! She is blessed to have you....

Hey, Joe! My day was good!

Hi, Midgie! I'm sure your grandbabies love having you so near by!

Hey, L4L! Dinner was a veggie pasta....very yummy!

Howdy, Nan! I never know, during the week, what dinner will decide to be. I think it has a mind of it's own! Whatcha doin' for your evening?

Good night, everyone.
