Krys --- if you want it, I will back off. :)--> I already have one, and the price is very decent. Check your private topics. David

Prefer visual instructions with examples --- Yes. Good at sports --- No. Good at art --- No. Follow Eastern thought* -- Have succumbed (entirely) to Southern thought. Cat lovers --- I flatten cats. Enjoy clowning around ---Yes. Can be hypnotized -- try it, and I'll *clock* you. :D--> Like to read fantasy and mystery stories ---yes and no. Can listen to music or TV while studying --- No way.

OK -- will do. Just sent the e-mail.

Wayfer -- ok. I tried that once, and the e-mail was returned to me. Will give it another shot. :)-->

They still do that (these days), don't they?? :D-->

That reminds me of a sentence that shows once and for all how punctuation affects a phrase. Same sentence -- two meanings: Woman without her man, is helpless. Woman. Without her, man is helpless.

Did I quote that right? --> :D--> --> Of course I did NOT quote that right, and deliberately so ---- Mike - I know you have heard it before, but your *arrogance* concerning the "collateral's" (sp?) IMMEDIATELY reminded me of the very high regard that the Mormon's hold for their *Book of Mormon*, over anything, and all things, that the bible might have to say. If you hold vpw's *works* above the bible, I can and will go along with that -- but rest assured -- I will *lump* his works right along with those of Joseph Smith. Pipe dreams from heavan -- if you will. Lots of smoke, little substance.

:D--> :D--> :D--> Had to send this one off to my folks. Puns are a way of life, around their house. Thanks. :)-->

DaddyHoundog -- go to THIS THREAD, in the Picture Forum. Cindy! posted several pics, of what she and Steve! got in the Chicago area. :)-->

Men should ALWAYS *engage* their family. Looked at the link, and I can see where the *liberated woman* might take umbrage at what was said there, but if the *engagement* were to directly concern her and her family unit, I don't see how she could complain. Just an IMHO. :)-->

Try standing on your head to see if you can see any more. :P--> Kinda reminds me of playing Revolution Number 9 backwards!

That "dog face" by the creek, and the body laying face up in the lower right hand corner took a bit to find. :)--> the horses don't count???

:(--> :(--> ok --- I'll look a little harder! :)-->

I see 17, but 3 belong to the horses, and the rider.

Do the horse faces count? -->

Sky --- I posted this on Raf's site, and I think it is in agreement with what you stated here. If you want to see the whole context of this quote, go HERE!

HA! That reminds me of the time that a WOW up here was the *obnoxious* neighbor. :D--> I forget the exact story, but he and his wow family moved into an upstairs apartment, and when they had told the elderly landlady that they were going to be running fellowhips there, she said "Oh my, I hope it won't be disturbing. The last group of renters I had up there, sounded like a herd of elephants." Long story short -- she did something to irritate them, and they decided to get revenge. They turned up the speakers of a very high quality sound system, and put in a tape of elephants bellowing and trumpeting, and they all started stomping on the floor -- directly above her bedroom. :D--> They got 30 days notice. :(-->

What --- A --- Chance --- For --- Witnessing!! :D--> *ducking, and running away fast!*

Jim --- According to the skedjuuule, you need to send him to Z-Shot, out there in Air-e-zone-a, where they don't even know what snow is! :D-->

Could be Belle. Meebe I am just too impatiant. I'll give them a coupla more weeks, to finish construction.

On my block, there are only two houses on my side of the street --- mine, and the one next door. The rest of the block (on my side of the street) is occupied by 3 businesses, and the house next door to me is a rental unit. I've been here for 25 years, and the neighbors next door (over the years) have been a varied, and a checkered lot, to say the least! It's usually been rented out to college students, so parties have been a given, at any night of the week. Back in the eighties, the residents there threw a party, and one of the guests snuck upstairs, and started stealing stuff. One of the residents caught him, and the thief threw the resident out the second story window, to the front lawn. The thief then went downstairs, gathered his friends, and they loaded the resident up into their van, parked outside, and drove around the block. They threw the resident out of the van at 30 mph back into his front yard. The guy lived, but barely. Then there was a bunch of Asian folk who lived next door. Must've been 15 to 20 of them in the house, and not a one of them spoke a word of English. Every morning - a big van would pull up, and they would all climb in and leave for the day. Found out later that they were illegals, working in a Chinese restaurant here in town. Can't leave out the gang that used to live next door. This was in in late 90's, and the cops were always crawling all over the back alley, out front, and they probably even had a "bear in the air" keeping an eye out on these dudes. They were getting drunk one night, and one of them (downstairs), heard someone mention that so-and-so was making out with his girlfriend, in the bedroom above them, so he put 4 or 5 rounds from the rifle he was holding, into the ceiling, hoping to do some damage. I don't wake up for nuthin, and I never heard the shots, but that was a Saturday night, and when I woke up Sunday morning, I got the coffee-pot workin, strolled out on my back porch (it was summertime), and there was a rifle case laying there. (Their back porch is a whole 5 feet from mine -- an easy toss). I called 911, and had more cops at my house than I ever hope to see again, in a matter of minutes. Turns out, they had the canine unit and everything going on the night before, looking for that gun case, but couldn't find it. Cop asked me if I heard the shots, and I told him "no -- when I go to sleep, I sleep." Well -- I have other stories too, but currently the house next door is up for sale, and the *caretaker* that is there now, lets his dog run loose (to do it's "business"), and even though that is sometimes my front sidedwalk that I find his *stuff*, I think back over the years and realize that this is something I can deal with! :D--> Ps -- the folks on the other side of the street (about 11 houses - some rental, some owner occupied) are great folks. Makes me wish my house was on the other side, and not the one I am on (at times).

Actually -- at one time I did have two, but one was in my car, and it got stolen. Go figure. -->

Wayfer -- how much do you want for it?? I have one already, but a second one would be nice to have.

Actually -- we got closer to 18", and that is on top of the 13" we received a week ago. And 4x4 is preferable to a sled dog team (heated cab, tunes, libations, etc.) ;)--> Got home from work tonight, and the plow had gone through my alley, and now I have to dig out my garage again! There's a 4 foot pile of snow and ice where all was clean and driveable last night. And whoever said it (Mark, I think), is right. 4-wheel drive does not equal 4-wheel stop. Garrison Keillor once commented : "4-wheel drive just gets you stuck twice as bad, and twice as far from the help you need to get unstuck". :D-->

We got the snow yesterday, Abi. A good 15" or so, though we we forecasted for 4". We took turns removing snow around the house at work, and then when I got home, I had to do it all over again. Hey Rottie -- if life hands you snow, go 4-wheeling! After all the *removal* was done, I must've wasted a half a tank of gas last night driving in town, out of town, country roads, freeways, you name it. :D--> The plows weren't even out since it was coming down so hard, and I was having a blast until the wee hours of the morning. It's stopped now, but hopefully the plows will be busy enough in town, so that I can do it all over again tonight on the backroads that they were too busy to get to today. 4-wheel drive and snow covered roads -- ahh - it's a wonderful thing!
