    Mother and baby camel are talking one day when the baby camel asks, "Mom why have I got these huge three toed feet?"




    The mother replies, "Well son, when we trek across the desert your toes will help you to stay on top of the soft sand".




    "OK" said the son.A few minutes later the son asks, "Mom, why have I got these great long eyelashes?"




    "They are there to keep the sand out of your eyes on the trips through the desert"




    "Thanks Mom," replies the son.




    After a short while, the son returns and asks, "Mom, why have I got these great big humps on my back??"




    The mother, now a little impatient with the boy replies, "They are there to help us store water for our long treks across the desert so we can go without drinking for long periods."




    "That's great mom, so we have huge feet to stop us sinking and long eyelashes to keep the sand from our eyes and these humps to store water, but... Mom?"




    "Yes son?"




    "Why the heck are we in the San Diego Zoo?"

    DorK....DH really wasn't pulling a stunt....I told him off when he got home...told him I was annoyed that he didn't listen to what I wanted,..and all was okay,...couldn't stay angry....he really is a great guy...and I didn't have to go get him. I told him next year its the light rail,..we drop them off and pick them up at the light rail stop and he agreed.....He got me a tank top (he called it a cami, since that is what I wear) that says beer 4 boobs...also a pink silicone bracelet that says the same thing.. I don't wear tank tops except under clothes and wear it like a cami....I'll wear this under sweaters....will try to figure out how to post a picture of it here...don't want to post it on fb......


    DorK....I never really had any nick names and I'm so NOT creative that I can't come up with anything.....at work I've always been Dr. Karen I love to back so how about cookie baker...or you come up with a name for me...as long as is polite I won't mind....


    Deciding whether to have another glass of wine or wipe down the kitchen and go to bed....want to put up a pot of squash soup in the morning for dinner and do some other cooking as well. I'm doing another Komen table, this time at Dilliards for the Wacol fit for the cure (or whatever its called)...then have to run a couple errands and won't get home till about 2:30 so want to get a head start on my cooking......have till 9:30 when I have to leave....all I know is that I'm making the soup and chicken thighs and legs....not sure what else.....


    Well, its time to get off the computer....sweet dreams....see everyone in the morning...

    LOL Dora, you found me! Yeah I couldn't help jumping up and down and screaming....oh wait that was cuz of what Hunk was doing to me...oh yeah, the slot machine hit...oh well *back to Hunk*...! Hmmmm....ya got me thinking...when Cyn wrote headphones, it was on my g'dau's bday and she wrote "headphone gd" I think...maybe it was supposed to be happy birthday but the headphone word came up???/ mese dunno. I don't mind...I've been called worse....lol. I love your funneee posts....you back to Dotty now....yeah!!!!!


    Bernie, that is funny....couldn't guess the punchline! How is skeletor? I was trying to plan a trip to the Emerald Isle, on the way to Madeira next spring (like we did last time), but flights won't cooperate. I knew you'd be busy then,but thought maybe I could visit with you for a day anyway...but now it doesn't look like its gonna work out. SO right now I have a condo booked in Madeira, but don't know how in h3ll we are going to get there! It is the hardest place to get to, from here. Maybe you will get to come to the good old broke USA one of these days!!!


    Karen, hmmmm......K-cook? Hmmmmm....bakerK? I dunno....surely Dotty will come up wid sumtin!!!

    Well, copy and pasting from emails doesn't work! I wonder if notepad works?


    Ok, we got home and had a most wonderful time! I just can’t explain how beautiful Moab is. The first night was a bit cold (if we were camping), but the other 2 nights would have been fine. Couldn’t check in yesterday, had to leave early ayem as DH had doctors appt. I did do some reading and then finished up this morning, so going pretty much by memory as it would take me too long to read and reply as I go along. I sure hope I didn’t leave anyone out! Forgive me if I did! I love you ALL. Thank you everyone for the party and the anniversary wishes. Although we have only been married for 4 years, we have been together (living together) for 13.

    Dorothy, I really wish you would try to sue SOMEBODY! What you have had to endure is just not humane. I really wish your dad was not there for you to care for, I think it is too much. I love you so much and just hate this. I know you are not up to it right now, but what if you just went and talked to a lawyer? Of course they will tell you that you have a case, as they would want the moola. I don’t know, I just think you desoyve it.

    Kathy, I am very sorry to hear about your BIL Steve. Safe travels for your DH when he heads out there. Happy Birthday to your G’dau. Also sorry to hear about your mom, I hope it’s a temporary thing. Are they going back to HI soon? I worry most about her then, as no one takes as good of care for her than you. Are your girls doing ok?

    Lara, you are another one having so many issues, but you ARE looking at filing a law suit? I think you are still on the east coast with your mom.

    Karen, Happy Birthday to your mom. I think she was MIA on her b-day, hope she had a nice time. I like the name Betty for you, that Dork came up wif. Do you need any info from me, ie; phone, address? I know you have my email and the other info can be found on our website.

    Bernie, I had the same thing happen with “Word” and the funky HTML codes that showed up. So now I have an email up (as if I am sending an email to someone) and I will copy and paste from here to see what happens. You skeered me when you said your DH was in a coma!

    Chrissy, I hope you are resting up after that most beautiful wedding. I know some of the things you did, but did you make your DD’s dress as well?

    Cyn, that mold issue is uncalled for. Can a person call the police, at least to make a report? Can you spray it with bleach or vinegar? I too think it could be what is causing your headaches. Is anyone else getting them?

    Lynne, thank you for the hunk and the flowers. OH MY, you should have seen what I saw, when I went to put them in a vase! Wow, you have some little ones, 4 and 5? And then 9 and 10. I always thought that 8,9, 10 and 11 were “easy” ages. Old enough to care for them selves, but not quite to that snotty teen or tween stage, that is when it can get ugly! Especially (IMO) wif de girls. How are those rads treating you?

    NM, did you get pics from Dork? Do you think you can help her. Maybe we should fly her to Maine, Sadie could take care of her while you are at work.

    Suzie Q, good to see you drop in and glad you had some Maddy time, but you need to stop by MORE. Same wif dat Mrs Vino.

    Cami, that Joey is such a special young man. I am so glad you have each other. And you go how de hail you want for Halloween. Gheesh, tis the only day of the year you could get away with it. Too funny that your DD wouldn’t let you teach Joey about the government. Maybe you can teach him (your version) after his test?

    Dutch, I see you over there in the corner hiding. How about a morning massage to start my day?

    Well, I set more tomatoes on the counter before we left, so I guess I am doing tomatoes again!!!! I don’t even need them, but I can’t let them go! But woo hoo, it’s FRIED day! Let’s all get fried.

    Today’s DOTD, cuz it’s pretty, and pink! The French Kiss


    PICTURE ABOVE

    1 oz Chambord

    1 oz Vodka

    1 oz Dark creme de cacao

    1.5 oz Half and Half

    In order to create this cocktails you have to mix all the ingredients, then add some ice.

    YAY Loweeeee is baaaaack in de lounge! Glad your trip was so amazing! And that pink dwink IS so verrrrry purdy...many tanx. I haven't been making fancy dwinks lately, but for some reason I have been doing a lot of cooking. Weird, but my DH is enjoying that. Trying to use the crockpot which I hadn't used in forever, and found a couple of good recipes. If anyone has a YUMMY, E-Z crockpot recipe, feel free to share! Yes, my parents go back to HI for 7 wks. The beyotch ex-sis lives right next to their unit, so lets hope she takes care of them. She always just wants to take, take, take, but maybe her BF cares more, and will look after them.


    Morning NM, Sew, and Karen! Any other eurly birds up? Beeeeuteeful day today. Dorkie, puleez let us know asap when you get those results, ok? My DH still has not seen her path report, but I sure want her to get it as I want to see it!


    Hugssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss,

    Wow Kathy, I didn't know they were going to be gone THAT long. I hope you are able to relax and NOT worry TOO MUCH about them. I made some stuffed green peppers recently (from the garden of course) in the crock pot, they were good.

    I just called over to the hospital for results and getting such a freaking run around. I got to the lab and a lazy person told me I would have to come in for results. Well that ain't happening cuz they instructed me to call. I am going to dig out my paper work OR try going through the ER to get something. That gal I talked to said they could not give me info due to hippa laws. well hell, if that was the case, the doctor would not have told me to call. I gonna try the ER next. I been holding for a half hour, getting cut off and such. I get no respect!


    here is a very short clip of how I feel:

    Peace girls, wish me well in getting the results without coming in.....I LACK patience....I will start dwinking soon if I do not get anywhere with this.

    Oh I'm so behid (well id am befront too, big time) but anyway I missed eberytin

    Welcome home Lori u were so missed

    Dork I don't unnstand why u just can't call the Dr.s'office, why do u have to do much more--like u haven't been thru enuff. I so pray today a a little better for u. (I stutter)
    Kat u r sooo funny---it's good to hear cuz right now u need distraction , I think

    Oh Sue sure u can use my idea and I thought too my DD would give me the LOOK but of course hers isn't as good as mine, but he thought that was a good idea-so If we go that's what I'm doin. I can't keep on going as a stripper so I have to try something new.

    Lara how r u doing today? Oh Lara we changed out TV to AT&T and I have so much to learn now, I already goofed it up with no signal thingy but my DD fixed it, But it's so much and I lost evberything I DVR's that was scary and now I have to start all over. Ebery single channel is different, I'm just to old for new chit.

    Linda I always like to hear what u cook and bake u do so much of it and everything sounds sooo good. U should be called Coobaker -kinda like the character in Star Wars.

    My head is spinning from this damn TV thing.

    Bernie that really was funny, I read it too. See cuz I taught Dorky how to do nothing we can do lots of tings easily.
    OOOHHH Dork u'r pukas--I stil remember the other one but these sound worse.

    Hi NM I'm glad This is Fried dy and u don't have to work for a couple of days I hope.

    Good afternoon, Loungettes! Having a slow day today, but it's going to go long. Still, not too bad. Lovely warm, sunny day here.


    Love the happy Friday cup of Joe!



    4sew--sun's definately over the yardarm, can'twait until I get home for glass of Rum Chatta!


    Goldie--purty partay dwinky!


    Wahine--I love my crockpots. Yup, I've got 4 of them. One is a big 3 quart? 4 quart? Big one, anyway. One is a 1 quart. The I've got 2 minis, pretty much only good for dips. My fav recipe for the 1 quart is to put in a chicken breast or leg and thigh, skin and bones or boneless, dump in 1 cup of brown rice, 1 can of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup, enough water to cover it all. Cook this one on low, ohterwise the rice can over cook and start to scortch. When I get home I take the chicken out, take the meat off the bones and take the skin off and mix the meat back in. If using boneless/skinless I just take it out and cut it up, then mix it back in. Salt and pepper to taste, can also put in diced onion and veggies for variety. You could probably multiply this by 3 or 4 for a big crock pot.


    Goldie--I never thought about making stuffed green peppers in the crock pot, sounds good!



    Mema--I am NOT looking forward to the time change, but then I never do any! What earthly good does it do anyeone? Do all the farmers in all the 3rd world nations change their clocks? Would cows stop prducing milk if we didn't do the time change thing? Would corn stop growing? Com'on world, enough already!


    Wahine--I notice the new Yahoo mail today, too. YUCK!!!!!!! Took me forever to figure out how to sort the mail by sender. Why can't "they" just leave stuff alone?????


    BBBBBernie--what do you mean back to not working? You or your DH? Or something else entirely?



    DorKable--you certainly are getting the run around. The ER doc on duty should be able to give you the results. You can also call and ask to speak to a hospital supervisor...



    Cammy--change is never fun, well, almost never, sometimes changing tenders for a night is fun. . . . .All the TV stuff is crazy. Why do I have to have 20 some odd sport channels that I will never watch jsut ot get 1 or 2 channels that I will?????? What I'm doing is single spacing, but hitting enter 3 times between paragraphs, that seems to help, some.



    OPRLA--good Lord, we all know pain meds are addicting, but when you ave pain that's what you need! Addiction is a psych diagnosis, not a medical one, and as long as you are taking the pain pills for pain relief you are not addicted, by definition, so there to you Mr. Dr!!!!!!!!
