Woo Hoo! I just woke up and my son told me...."Mom, you don't look any taller than you were at 29." Happy Birthday to me!

I had no idea what happened to Golf. HW never mentioned it. Sorry about that all. Knowing how smart Golf was rumored to be.....Brutus probably was just as smart and that lady deserved what she got!

Thank you MamaCharlie and Big Fat Daddy! in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

I just got a birthday box in the mail....thanks to BFD and Mama Charlie! I recently bemoaned how I must be an adult because I was excited about getting a real life, frost-free freezer. Yeah, I was happy. Too happy. I must be an adult. Actually, it's probably about time. My birthday is tomorrow. I have less than 2 hours left of being in my 20s.

I'm not using it anymore...they can have it. But please keep the government out of it. As terp said, it creates a conflict of interest. Plus I don't really trust the government to wait till I'm dead before they start hacking....or to handle it in a tactful way. I can just imagine it....shudder.

1st Cav Soldiers are heading home in Current Events JoeUser Forums

So while HW isn't home yet, the big push of 1st Cav Soldiers is going on. Every day there are new flights of soldiers reuniting with their families. I spent my Sunday morning helping a few people welcome loved ones home. Even though it wasn't my reunion, I have such strong emotions when they announce "Welcome Home!" and the buses pull up. I confess, even th

WHAT THE *&%($@&%????? I was following up on a friend's blog this morning and when I saw what she posted I just about lost it. She cut and pasted a clip from Democracynow.

What in the world is in that statue's hands? It looks like a ten-gallon cowboy hat with a scarab beetle riding it. </TD

Sometimes you just have to embrace the inner Martha in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Somehow I was extra productive yesterday. I'm not sure why. I've had a hard time getting motivated since I went to Alabama (the only State that has a statue in the middle of town honoring a BUG) but yesterday, I got moving right away. It probably had something to do with the fact I did NOT get on the computer till after I did my chores.... But I digress,

Our local AYCE Chinese Buffet has a sign that notifies customers that if they eat primarily sushi, they will be charged a higher price......if they have a sign anywhere, he will have to pay up or eat elsewhere.

Reply to NO RECEIPT / NO RETURN mantra this post-Christmas season in Consumer Issues JoeUser Forums

My sister worked at the returns at a Walmart....she told me a bunch of stories...people returning items that were shoplifted (still had security tags on them), worn underwear, stuff from other stores. My local walmart/Target are moving toward a "one free return per calendar year" to placate the shoppers who are honestly stuck with the wrong item...but if you forget/lose/don't have the reciept more than one time....you are out of luck. I'm sta

Well, I am such an amazingly cool person that I will have to have a party for you (or something) when you get to Texas....I'll discuss the details with you later (where none of the braggarts and phonies here on JU can hear about our amazing plans) But in all sincerity...our birthdays must be pretty close....although I'm older. Who knows, if meeting me doesn't freak you out too much, maybe we can do something....but I'll IM you about it. <img

So I haven't posted a good kid article in a while and I realized that if I don't write it down...I forget the cool stuff. So here's some for each of them. Girl has been sick. Very sick. The amount of snot coming out of that kid is astonishing. I understand why she felt so bad. My sinuses are in revolt and I dont' even have a fever! So the sinus drainage
