    now tell me if this is funny

    Sin Of Lying

    A minister told his congregation, "Next week I plan to preach about the sin of lying. To help you understand my sermon, I want
    you all to read Mark 17."

    The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the
    minister asked for a show of hands. He wanted to know how many
    had read Mark 17. Every hand went up.

    The minister smiled and said, "Mark has only sixteen chapters.
    I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying."

    Good Morning all you wonderful sunshine sisters.
    Running late for work (again)...I was determined to finish a very special afghan last night.................and I did finish it about midnight. Sending hugs out today....

    Good Morning ladies. Good Evening Peter. Well I went and got myself in trouble on another message board. OOPS. I should know when to keep my fingers quiet.

    Charlene, poop and babies do seem to go hand in hand. Did she decorate with it?
    Hubby is still in bed. We'll see how his eye is this morning. I think he was truly not feeling well yesterday. He slept ALL day.

    Putting some tylenol outside Peters wagon.

    Ah Nicki no thanks. I'm happy with skinny. I look in the mirror and see my mother too. A very frightening site.

    Vicki, You have a busy week ahead. Hope Nate and Josh have a grand time at the fair. I hate going to the fair only cause it is always so pickin hot and the animal smell is overpowering.

    Have a great time Kristin

    Good Morning Jankay and Jaz.

    Have my mammo today. So looking forward to it.

    SPLASH!!! Morning everyone - that's the sound of me jumping back in after our trip. Warren and I got home from the Bahamas last night. Trip was great! OK, well, there was a lot of travel trouble, and it was raining when we arrived on Wed afternoon and continued to rain, without stopping, until Saturday (heard there was lots of rain here too!) and some other stuff, but all in all we made the best of it and managed to have a fabulous time!

    I'll probably try to go back and read some to see how everyone is doing, but for now, just wanted to say we're back safely, I missed being able to check in on everyone, and I hope all is well.

    Okay Ava fell back asleep (at least I Think she's sleeping lol) .. I'm going to risk it and finish my coffee!

    Colleen!! Welcome back! Bummer about the rain but glad you made the best of it! Looking forward to hearing more!

    Shirley - fortunately there was No decorating! I think she was afraid to touch it thank goodness!! Hope hubby is better today!

    Jankay - Very funny!!

    Sue - I'm also curious to know how you do on the Chantrix! I still think about quitting but that's all I do...think about it!

    Vickie - That's so sweet about Nate. Audrey surprises me .. I was so afraid to tell her about her fish dying a couple of months ago (she had him for 2 years) but after a few questions and her eyes welling up she asked if she could get another one and then moved on. The logical side of her knew that goldfish often don't live so long! I don't expect the same reaction when her dog passes on though. She's always been such a tough girl and never cried when she got hurt. In fact she hated it if I'd ask her if she was okay. I worry about her keeping those emotions in. But she's so caring and very concerned whenever anybody else gets hurt! Oooh, tell us more about being asked out on a date! Are you going?

    Cheri - I was going to guess Bobby Sherman but after the others guessed Richard Chamberlain I thought I was wrong! Dang it, ahhh well!

    Got just a minute.
    Chantix worked wonders for me! I too joined the online support but haven't used it too much. You can still smoke the first week then stop the second. The second week is the toughest and it really isn't too bad. The meds really seem to work...good luck to you!

    Good morning chicas......well it is raining right now and the forecast is rain thru next Monday.......I really don't even want to discuss the weather except to say that at least it is keeping our temps below 100 degrees......Glad to see Colleen back.....oh and Charlene your SO would stare at other women's boobs even if you had Pamela Anderson boobs yourself because men are pigs........(having a major issue with my ex at the moment)sorry Peter but you know I'm right..........I have something to share with you all but I'm going to have to check back in a little later......I have to take my youngest to band in a few minutes.......it has to do with my ex and my oldest daughter.....they are killing me and I don't know why......I truly believe that I can feel the few cancer cells that were probably left in me dividing and growing again....my stress level is running at a all time high......there are times that if my youngest was thru school I would sell my house buy an RV and hit the road where my oldest and ex could never find me......anyway guys leaving work for a few minutes will be back soon......love to everyone.......see ya later gators.....

    Shokk - I Know on some level you're right .. how else do you explain the success of "girls gone wild" and other such pathetic enterprises? It sickens me that girls now get breast augmentation as graduation gifts and that surgery has boomed in the past 4 years. I don't blame a woman for getting it done but let it be for the right reasons and parents shouldn't be buying it for their girls. What message is that sending about what's important in a woman? Our society has gone south in that regard and it scares me for my girls. I'm sorry you're having trouble with your ex and oldest daughter. Kids can bring such joy .. and they can break your heart.

    Hugs,
    Charlene

    Ok ladies and Peter I'm back.......sorry Charlene I didn't mean to imply that your SO is a pig just that men will always look at other women....they are very visiual right???????One of my favorite comedy bits is Jeff Foxworthy talking about getting ready for "pool season" his wife gets waxed, tanned, new bathing suit etc and for men all they need is a pair of sun glasses.....that way they can check out other women without having to turn their heads.....ha.........Charlene I'm sure your man loves you very much.......as beautiful as you are its probably your soul that he loves the most.......just my opionion........brb phone.......

    Jumping in for a quick hello and back to work for end of month reports.

    Robin...I know that spur pain. I have that ligament thing and a bone spur on my right heel and the pain is intense. It takes me a good 20-30 steps to start walking with only a slight limp!! Get whatever help you can..

    It was really nice talking to Mena and I hope her brother is taking good care of our little firecracker.

    Hub went to the shore for a few days fishing and I don't know when he's coming back. Kevin (ds) is on a 2 week class camping in the Pine Barrens so right now I'm loving my clean house until they both come home. Just have to keep my mother in line.

    Happy 4th and Canada Day to all on this continent!!! Love to all.

    Ok ladies and Peter here is my story from yesterday......so my ex called the house soon after I got home from work and wanted to swing by and visit with the girls........I didn't really care and told him to come by....ok now the oldest child and her dad have a terrible relationship.....when she was about 12 is when I consider it to be the time he lost his mind.......drinking, staying out and doing behavior that was very self destructive.....we stopped having her have friends over to spend the night because we never knew what he might do as for as drinking and coming home and causing a scene.....just like any typical "after school special" well so i manage to get her raised and tried my best to protect both girls as best as I could......so we eventiual divorced I got cancer but he really has pulled his life back together......no more drinking.....medication to control what I believe to be bi-polar disease etc.....well oldest child has never forgiven him for what he put her through during her teenage years........(I hope ya'll don't mind my telling ya'll this but I have no one else to talk to and I trust all of ya'll).........so anyway he's coming by and the oldest child has a complete breakdown...yells at him on the phone and pretty much tells him he is not welcome at our home......youngest child wanted to see him......geez.....phone brb......

    Hey all-

    Just popping in for a quick hello. I have been reading along, but don't have much to say I guess.

    This is going to sound so stupid, but is anyone else upset by the Funky Winkerbien (sp?) comic with the gal who has breast cancer? I can't read it...it upsets me. Why would you give a comic character cancer?? How is that funny?? I saw a few of them and they made me so sad I have quit even opening that page in the paper. My friends ask me if I have read it like it is some huge social commentary on cancer....why is it upsetting me??? I swear if he kills this pretend person off I my blow a gasket. What do you want to bet the story line will carry on until October...like some type of cancer sweeps-week....

    I guess the real question is why this is bugging me??? silly I know…

    OK…kids are off with my folks for the day and I am going in to town to have lunch with my sweetie. I’ll check back later.

    So we have a large front proch with chairs so I told the ex I would just send youngest out to visit with him and told oldest to just stay inside.....she 18 she doesn't have to see her dad.....her choice......well she could hear him talking to youngest and decided to go outside and confront her dad and he ended up slapping her at some point.....and the fight was on......you guys have to understand I keep a very quiet house.....I'm a merry go round person......I don't like personal business in the front yard so all the neighbors can hear and watch whats going on........I have to restrain her from calling the cops on her dad and finally get him to leave and try to calm her down and she has another breakdown wanting for me to chose between her and her dad......I've already made the choice but I'm not going to let her tell my what to do and keep her dad from seeing her little sister.....its my freaking house and if I want to have Hitler to dinner then thats my choice......geez.......and to top it off last year when I was going through chemo her sister and her were having an arguement and she all of a sudden slapped her little sister right across the face........her little sister is very gentle and I told her if she ever touched her little sister in anyway she was not welcomed back home again............brb.......

You're right, he calls me his soulmate and there is nobody else in this world for him but me. I'm constantly reminded how lucky I am to have him.

    oh shokk...we are so alike. I cannot stand drama and we have a very quiet peaceful existance at home. I'm on the merry go round too (and actually prefer the seats over the horses). I am packed and ready to roll, watchin the sunrise and sunset on the ocean, pickin seashells and livin on fish and wine suits me just fine and dandy! I think Miss 18 year old would get a harsh awakening...she is not the boss in your house and if she wants to be boss then maybe she should move out and support herself!! Let her Aunt Vickie give her a talking to! Hugs to ya sweet sister.

    Good Afternoon: Just a quick pop in. Already swam 4 Olympic laps and jogged a mile in the pool. Why is it so easy to jog when you in water? No shortness of breath, no sweating.

    I never did tell you the end to my story about setting my hair. Do any of you remember the bubble style of the 60's? Well thats what I looked like. Absolutely ridiculous. Never was good at styling hair, thats why I always wore mine long.

    I did catch some rays and for the first time since my surgery I got a tan mark over my implants. Feels pretty good I must say.

    Charlene: Ya know what really scares me? They now have a pill to shorten or just stop your periods. Gotta have some bad side effects down the road.


    Shokk! Once you can get past the frustration, I sort of laughed trying to picture this whole scene in front of your house. Dad should not have slapped daughter in the face. Daughter should have showed some respect or at least restraint. But who can tell an 18 y/o anything.

    Well, DH just waked in with a Bloody Mary. Ill check back later.

    LisaSoCal: Swam again and the temp was 70 degrees! Im bound and determined to use this pool!!
