How old? My kids always prefered money, then they could get what they wanted, today its all about video games and they run $50 -$100 bucks, who can afford to shell that out for someone elses child. That is great. I give my nieces and nephews cards with $10 buck sometimes $5 if times are tuff.

she is 7

Oh and A dove has decided to build a nest and lay two eggs on top of my garage door opener, so now I must keep both of our cars parked outside of our garage, so my cat cannot use the cars to jump on top of the garage door to reach the dove. Will take pic it is so cute.

she is 7

$10 to a 7 year old is a fortune. Also, you can put a note inside that the next time you babysit you can rent a movie of her choice or do something she really likes to do like playing a game or doing a craft. No extra money needed and she will enjoy choosing what you'll do.

I agree $10 to a 7 yr old is a lot, maybe give it to her in 10$1s or 2$5s, she will feel like its more, unless she is spoiled rotten, lol.

thanks for the advice!! now to go to a pool party!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nice...and here I sit in Michigan, with no ties to anyone...

Hey - I met Tom Wopat and Ben Jones from the Dukes of Hazzard. Does that count? No? - shucks - here I sit in Pennsylvania with no ties to anyone either ....

Judy, actually you do

Judy met Tom Wopat...
Tom Wopat was in Dukes of Hazzard with John Schneider
John Schneider was in Smallville with John Glover (Tom Wopat also appeared in an ep too btw)
John Glover appeared in LOCI (Blind Spot) with....VDO!!

So there you are!!!

Why didn't I think of that? Darnit. Brain is frozen, I guess.

Just in case someone needs a laugh today...

I just want to thank all of you for your
educational emails over the past year.

Thanks to you, I no longer open a public bathroom door
without using a paper towel.

I can't use the remote in a hotel room because I don't
know what the last person was doing while flipping
through the adult movie channels.

I can't sit down on the hotel bedspread because I can
only imagine what has happened on it since it was last
washed.


I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been
driving because the number one pastime while driving
alone is picking your nose. ( Although cell phone
usage may be taking the number one spot )

Eating a Little Debbie sends me on a guilt trip
because I can only imagine how many gallons of trans
fats I have consumed over the years.


I can't touch any woman's purse for fear she has
placed it on the floor of a public
bathroom. Yuck !

I must send my special thanks to whoever sent me the
one about poop in the glue on envelopes because I now
have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that
needs sealing.

Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open
for the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a
sick girl ( Penny Brown)who is about to die in the
hospital for the 1,387,258th time.

I no longer have any money at all, but that will
change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill
Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for
participating in their special e-mail program.


I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214
angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.


I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are
actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or
feathers.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though
I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get
answered if I forward an email to seven of my friends
and make a wish within five minutes.

Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola
because it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer can buy gasoline without taking someone
along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl
in my back seat when I'm pumping gas.

I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people
who make these products are atheists who refuse to put
'Under God' on their cans.

I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it
causes cancer.

And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup of
water in the microwave anymore
because it will blow up in my face...disfiguring me
for life.

I no longer check the coin return on pay phones
because I could be pricked with a needle infected
with AIDS.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will
drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since
they are actually Al Qaida in disguise.

I no longer shop at Target since they are French and
don't support our American troops or the Salvation
Army.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask
me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill
with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore and
Uzbekistan.

I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus
since I now have their recipe.

Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine
because a big brown African spider
is lurking under the seat to cause me instant
death when it bites my butt.

And thanks to your great advice, I can't ever pick up $5.00
dropped in the parking lot because it probably
was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath
my car to grab my leg.
I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas
from certain gas companies !

If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000
people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with
diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM this
afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest
your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump.




I know this will occur because it actually happened to a
friend of my next door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's
second husband's cousin's beautician...

Have a wonderful day....

Oh, by the way.....

A German scientist from Argentina , after a lengthy
study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read
their e-mail with their hand on the mouse.






Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late!!

And don't tell me you're not chuckling, either, I know I was!!

(I was sent this this morning on my myspace page...and thought I would pass it along)

WOW, Ruby, you're good. THANKS.



I didn't think of it either and not only did I meet Tom Wopat (and get to touch him ::giggle::, my son and I used to watch Smallville every week until they killed off John Schneider's character - SO you would think that I would've made the connection myself. Of course, where VDO is concerned, I go brain dead very easily.

Your being driven by emotions, and those emotions are going to get us killed.

You're skeerin' me, Valley.

She's watching JAG, sis - don't be askaird.

You're skeerin' me, Valley.

I was skurred, too. Until I read Judy's comment.

Oh, Ok, thanks! Whew!

I was skurred, too. Until I read Judy's comment.

O.o

What exactly were you guys afraid of?

I know me my Valley.
I would say the randomness of your thoughts with no particular explanation - but that's just me.

Ah i thought they were literally afraid of what i said.

Maybe i start adding that i am quoting JAG at the end of my statements.

I'm not really askeered of you, Valley. Just didn't know what your comment meant.

WOW, Ruby, you're good. THANKS.

Oh no, thank god I have no mouse on my laptop!!
Every other line I was like,.... "Oh no".. its enough to put you off loads of things. If Supersize me was engouh to put me off MacDonalds for months this stuff is going to mess even more with my head.

Oh and a brighter though... be happy it's only pigeons with diaorrhea that fly over!!!!

Cloggs

PS: one I heard years ago: Save a tree, eat a beaver!!

O.o

What exactly were you guys afraid of?

Okay, are you feeling alright today???
Too funny, I haven't heard that in a long time...My hubby's lately is: *spoken in a bugs bunny voic*e...Let go of my cotton...you swab". That and the "I keep asking for it" in a bad imitation of Bobby's voice...but its still kinda funny!
Ahhhh I got it! Wow, all I could think of was what the heck is wrong with Valley...

Yesterday, I went to the mall with my boyfriend, Keith. We were browsing inside the video store when a middle-aged lady came in with a Pink stroller. To our surprise, it turned out to be a japanese puppy inside with a pink outfit on her! We were wondering what else did the lady bring for her baby? We did see a pink bag with a bottle of milk and a doggie bag. That was so cute! Keith and I were just admiring her baby, lol! How many people do you think carrying pets in their strollers?

yes he is tall ... he makes me smile ... and yes chocolate chip!!! heheheheheheh
