Izzy, you're very welcome.  I heard about Champlain (can't spell worth a....) and him establishing a trading post at Quebec City ....thus it being 400 years old .......on the news or I might have believed your numbers too.

TT, thankyou.  Yes.  I started this thread when I was GFN (guest for now).  Awhile back eh?

Carolyn, that math would work well for any crook who was dividing up a large cash win.

THE NEXT SURVIVOR SERIES


Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 3 kids each for six weeks.

Each kid will play two sports and either take music or dance classes

There is no fast food.

Each man must take care of his 3 kids; keep his assigned house clean, correct all homework, and complete science projects, cook, do laundry, and pay a list of 'pretend' bills with not enough money.

In addition, each man will have to budget in money for groceries each week.

Each man must remember the birthdays of all their friends and relatives, and send cards out on time.

Each man must also take each child to a doctor's appointment, a dentist appointment and a haircut appointment.

He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the Urgent Care.

He must also make cookies or cup cakes for a social function.

Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house, planting flowers outside and keeping it presentable at all times.

The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores are done.

The men must shave their legs, wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes, keep fingernails manicured and eyebrows groomed.

During one of the six weeks, the men will have to endure severe abdominal cramps, back aches, and have extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once complain or slow down from other duties.

They must attend weekly school meetings, church, and find time at least once to spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting.

They will need to read a book and then pray with the children each night and in the morning, feed them, dress them, brush their teeth and comb their hair by 7 :00 am.

A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information: each child's birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size and doctor's name.  Also the child's weight at birth, length, time of birth, and length of
labor, each child's favorite color, middle name, favourite snack, favourite song, favourite drink, favourite toy, biggest fear and what they want to be when they grow up.

The kids vote them off the island based on performance.. The last man wins only if...he still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moment's notice.

If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18-25 years eventually earning the right to be called Mother!

After you get done laughing, send this to as many females as you think will get a kick out of it and as many men as you think can handle it.  Just don't send it back to me.... I'm going to bed!

How's your back?


Here's one for you:

A man, sick and tired of work everyday, asked God to switch bodies with his wife.

The next morning, he woke up as a woman… cooked, fed the family, drove to school, washed and ironed, went out for groceries, balanced the checkbook, vacuumed, dusted and swept, cooked dinner… after supper cleaned the kitchen. At night made love to the husband.

The next morning, he admitted his mistake to God and prayed for a trade back. God said, “O.K. But you’ll have to wait for nine months. You got pregnant last night!”

Good One Carolyn,

My back is okay now. I switched to my old wheelchair, so 'Advance' could pick up the new one for checking.

I am using my new cushion (with the board) and it made a small but 'hurting' difference in my back support.

That was all. Takes longer to explain when telling what it is!

I have a wedge pillow I'm  using and it fills the space for my back and all is well.

Thanks
Izzy

Oh, my, Izzy!  I'd never seen John Cleese in that one, but I still like Fawlty Towers when it's on BBC.

Thanks!

And I'm so glad your back is happier now! Those miscellaneous crooks and pinches can be miserable.
 Here's hoping the newer chair comes back from its tune-up in fine condition!

Love,
Carolyn

This was a group of professionals that asked a group of 4 to 8 year olds what love is.. 

 Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way.
 When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.  So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis, too.  That's love.
 When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.  You know that your name is safe in their mouth.
 Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.
 Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your fries without making them give you any of theirs.
 Love is when someone hurts you.  And you get so mad but you don't yell at them because you know it would hurt their feelings.
 Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.
 Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is okay.
 Love is when you kiss all the time.  Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.
 My mommy and daddy are like that.  They look gross when they kiss.
 Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.
 When you tell someone something bad about yourself and you're scared they won't love you anymore.  But then you get surprised because not only do they still love you, they love you even more.
 Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.
 Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.
 During my piano recital, I was on a stage and scared.  I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.  He was the only one doing that.  I wasn't scared anymore."
 My mommy loves me more than anybody.  You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.
 Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken.
 Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.
 Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.
 I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.
 I let my big sister pick on me because my Mom says she only picks on me because she loves me.  So I pick on my baby sister because I love her.
 Love cards like Valentine's cards say stuff on them that we'd like to say ourselves, but we wouldn't be caught dead saying.
 When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.
 Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross.
 You really shouldn't say "I love you" unless you mean it.  But if you mean it, you should say it a lot.  People forget.

I especially like the one about your eyelashes going up and down and stars coming out of your eyes...

Love
Deb

A venture investment is an investment in a new company (or "venture") which usually bears a high risk of failure, but a correspondingly high return on succes.

So does it follow that a ventrue relationship works the same?

Hi tt,

I think that the cost is always going to seem too high, until a person knows in her knower that it's more blessed to give - than to receive.

To me, it's when I'm seeking to get - whether consciously or not - that I'm sorely disappointed.

Much more satisfying - and far less of a risk - to expect nothing and then be pleasantly surprised when a blessing comes along.

Rejection from others is a brief blast of hot wind, compared to the icy gales of self-abandonment (not to be confused with self-denial  :D).

If we know and accept that it's our own personal responsibility to get our gaps filled, then what is the risk, really? Isn't it a shadow with no substance?

Carolyn

Handle every stressful situation like a dog.

If you can't eat it or play with it,

Just pee on it and walk away
