Diet 7up tastes like a non-alcholic version of Schmirnoff Ice.

Mookie, check out Jim's birthday thread for Kevin: he's the one who
assigned whom to fix what. That wasn't my doing: I just repeated what
he said. I wouldn't volunteer you for something without checking with
you first!! (cause I don't want you mad at ME) [angel]

Heyyyyy, I like Diet 7 UP. [:p] I bought 2, 2-Liters bottles just yesterday.

And EVERYONE knows that chocolate cake and Mookie go hand in hand. [:D]

I am still laughing from the "tossed salad" remark. [:D]

Now on a different note, and definately not funny. I don't watch TV. I get my news and weather from the internet. Today AOL showed a film clip of a Wisconsin man throwing a baby out of a car during a police chase. The baby was in a child safe seat (Thank God) and was unhurt. The man hit a parked police car and died 3 days later. It is unreal what some people will do. He was only 23 and was engaged, the baby belonged to his girlfriend. A true story with a combination happy/sad ending.

Bite my tongue - but my sources on radio said he didn't even stop to dump baby - just slowed way down.

The baby was in a plastic carrier, not even a car seat.

Sounds like a reasonably happy ending for all concerned.

I know - duct tape my mouf!

I saw that on GMA this morning,I'm still trying to figure out why he did that,
unless he thought he would die anyway,and hoped the baby would be spared.
Which thankgoodness it was. The state trooper that was there when it happened;
said in the 26 years he's been on the dept. he had NEVER seen anything
like that before,and hopes he never does again.

Jim,

I thought you 'might' get a chuckle out of the "tossed salad"[:D][}:)]

Thanks Mook,I'm glad you like them. At least I didn't have as much trouble putting
them up,as I did putting a mini-blind up in our living room week before last.
Maybe CW will tell you about that one sometime.[:D]


p.s. they were on sale[:D][swg]

Yeah Mookie, a week ago last Thursday, DUMB BUTT decided to take the old mini
blind down and put up a new one while I was across the street at our neighbor's.

I came home after he had managed to get himself up off the floor. Of course, being
a MAN, he would not go to the hospital. He at least had bruised ribs, and probably
twisted something in his back,

In our living room, we have wall-to-wall furniture; so there's no room to get a ladder
in there. He had to stand on the arm of the sofa, and step over onto the endtable to
reach the blind. Lost balance, landed face up, flat on his back, between my recliner
and the coffee table. Have since been wrapping his torso with an ACE bandage.

Rainy Days and Mondays always.................make me very happy. And Rainy Days and Wednesdays ain't bad either.

Love cloudy days, love rainy days. Fair skin with no fur, so sun a bad thing - except to nap in during winter.

Feel bad for our lower right corner. Too much rain, too much wind, too much water - even paradise has it's drawbacks!

Procrastinating so don't have to cook breakfast....maybe a do it yourself day....

Will have to remember to tell CW that Brother Carl and I are twins - we were born in different states and different years. Makes us fraternal twins....

Gee Mook, being a twin myself, I guess one of you was ready to pop out, and the other
one wanted to stay inside Mama a little while longer!! My twin always liked to tell
people that he was ready to be born and see what the world looked like: but I was in
front of him. So he kicked me out so he could get out! Very interesting, don't you
think?

Actually fixed breakfast this morning: turkey bacon and scrambled eggs. Pretty good
breakfast since I didn't eat supper last night. Walt did, I was just too hot from the
heat and humidity to want anything to eat.

Barbecue?

As the coals from our barbecue burned down, our hosts passed out marshmallows and long roasting forks.

Just then, two fire trucks roared by, sirens blaring, lights flashing. They stopped at a house right down the block.

All twelve of us raced out of the back yard, down the street, where we found the owners of the blazing house standing by helplessly.

They glared at us with looks of disgust.

Suddenly, we realized why.........

We were all still holding our roasting forks with marshmallows on them...

....Yes here in Indiana we're to experience a bit cooler weather by weekend....90 yesterday in my area and 80's today but don't believe they are forecasting to be as low as 60 in this area. It is toast dry here and maybe the leftovers of Ivan will touch us with a bit of moisture sometime in the next few days. Sure has been beautiful sunny warm weather around here for weeks.

years ago, and never did care for olive loaf: yuckie yuck yuck [angel]
