I've read 1984 -- waaaaayyyy back in high school. May have to read it again. If you like it, try Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. I'm trying to get caught up on Reader's Digests and get back to John Grisham's The Appeal. I have read, and loved, ALL of his books.

I'm currently watching CSI:Miami, and one of the guest stars tonight is John Schneider!

16 Signs That You Are Having A Bad Day

Part 1:


First you had trouble getting out of bed







You had a stiff neck





You washed your hair and couldn't do a thing with it







You felt like you had a hangover and you weren't even drinking last night







Your new diet really doesn't seem to be working out





You pulled a muscle when you tried to exercise







Your new hat looked better on you at the store




You keep losing things

Part 2:

You feel like you're always in the wrong place at the wrong time







The boss chewed you out at work







You got caught in the rain at lunchtime







Then the lunch you had didn't seem to agree with you







You feel trapped







Uninvited guests showed up at dinnertime







On top of that you think you're coming down with the flu







And finally, you're alone in the house at night when you think you hear a noise in the basement

HAHAHAHHAHAH THOSE ARE GREAT !! and soooooooooooooooooo cute!!!

I can relate to some of those kitties..

About John S. being on CSI:M -- HE WAS THE BAD GUY!!!!!! Still cool to see him on TV again, tho.

this is me every morning !! haha i lay there till the last minute and once i do get up i mutter "stupid work .. i hate that place"

I loved both of those books...Of Mice and Men is good too, Spares is good, Swan Song rocks the house(total Vincent role), Lord of the Flies is one of my favs too...I could go on about books until doomsday...heehee...

Like that old Twilight Zone show...where the old guy loves to read and just prays for time to do it, to get away from work & his menacing wife...and finally gets locked in a bank vault: then there is a nuclear explosion and the town blows up...he gets out and find himself surrounded by books and with all the time in the world to read to his utter delight....only to trip on the stairs, drop his glasses and step on them and break them...NOW having all the time, but unable to read without his eyeglasses!



Too funny!!!!!!!!!!




The diet cat cracks me up...I have had THOSE days!

Good morning everyone...

Happy Tuesday!!!!

A few thought on the work day...and you think YOUR job is bad...


You're in big trouble at work when::::::


...The new policy on sexual harassment included a photo of you.

...The Security guard made a complete inventory of your work area.

...Your assistant began responding to your memos with, "Yeah, whatever."

...You got a "It's for you loser" notice of receiving e-mail & not a chime.

...Your new Pentium was replaced with an 386sx-16 last weekend.

...The Human Resources Dept requested an update of your arrest record.

...The Boss asked if you still had a copy of your 5 year contract.

...You noticed co-workers measuring your office when you arrived at work.

...Your parking spot was relocated next to the dumpster.

...Your secretary sez things like "Get the phone will you, my nails aren't dry."

...Three people began helping you write a "desk manual" for your job.

...A large paper recycling box was placed next to your file cabinets.

...The receptionist began saying "Who " to anyone calling for you.

I have a joke, but it's kinda long. Some background. In the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism, reliving the Middle Ages), in Florida we are the Kingdom of Trimaris and we have a rep for being some of the toughest fighters around. The Kigdom just to the north of us is The Kingdom of Atlantia, known for wearing some of the heaviest armor around. Pennsic is a HUGE annual event held in PA that people come from all over for. Now begins the joke.

The King of Atlantia was leading his army North to the Pennsic War one year, when they came upon hill with a lone Trimarian standing at it's crest. As soon as they were in shouting distance the Trimarian said, "Hey! Your Majesty! I challenge your best man to a fight!" So the king sent his best man up and over the hill to meet the Trimarian in combat.

There was a great deal of sound and weapons clashing and after a few minutes the Trimarian returned to the top of the hill. "That was your BEST guy? Well he wasn't much of a fight. Tell you what, I challenge your FIVE best men to a fight!" Once again the King sent his warriors over the hill, certain that the impudent fellow would receive his comeuppance this time.

This time the sounds of battle were even louder than before, with even more fury in it. After several minutes the sound died away and the King watched the hill expectantly, thinking to see his men dragging the Trimarian back to him. Instead the Trimarian stood at the top again saying, "Is that really the best you have, Your Majesty?"

By this point the King was furious and he wasn't going to let an upstart like this get away with embarassing him in such a fashion. So the King ordered the entire rest of the army, all 547, over the hill to beat down this Trimarian and show him who was boss in these parts.

The battle raged behind the hill for an hour or more, the thunderous crash of weapons rolling over the countryside, until at last, the final sounds died away, and the King looked to the hill to see his army return.

One lone figure came limping down the hill, one of his own soldiers, towards the King. The King was stunned, almost beyond words, but managed to ask the shell-shocked man what had happened.

roflmao!!!

CAT DIARY
Day 983 of my captivity. My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets.

Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am.

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

This morning? I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but this time at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously stupid. The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe.

For now...
Cat

hahah thats GREAT

All the jokes are helping to cheer me up on this sad morning. Keep up the good work, guys.
Oh, and the parrot joke? When I heard that one (about 30 years ago), it ended with the parrot asking "So what did that bald turkey in there say, 'f___?'" It still cracks my 79 year old mother up when I tell it today.

this isnt the best joke in the world but sams da always tells in to me

man walks into a blacksmiths and picks up a freshly made horseshoe an drops it very quickly .

the blacksmith looks at the man an says " Hot ain't it ?"

the man looks and the blacksmith and says " no just dont take me long to look at a horseshoe "


i know its corny but sammys dad tells it as EVERY family get together hahah

That is corny, but it made me laugh at it's "corniness" (is that a word?)

You know what we need in this place? Live chat! That would be fun

That can be arranged. Quite easily with ICQ but with some time, Java can provide.

Or, we could do like the Nashville Star board on NBC did, use Gabbly to set up a chat room and post a link to hit here. We could get it pinned....

LIVE CHAT!!! what a great idea!!!

You mean......I'm not live?

Ok seems I need to put in a few more cents. I have been PM'd by someone who has it in for me, claiming I have ripped into MeantforBobby for starting a new thread, All I posted was Do we really need this new thread, which I felt was a valid question, as the oldies know in the past this was handled in a worst manner, and we have been trying to keep the new threads down to a minnium, If they consider that being ripped into I hate to see what happens when they get into real life and get a job.


I'm going play with grownups now.

LOL.. you remember , jyran , when I would get pretty nasty about it.. we had such good threads that covered just about any topic.. then all of them got pushed back pages.. I would get so hostile.. yeah.. those were the days huh.. but as you also remember.. I just gave up.. Bubba gave up and is apparently gone.. he was our conscience.. our gate watcher...sigh... well anyway.. i just gave up on the threads.. that's why I stay mostly in the games now... what can i say.. it's obviously a new day and some of us oldtimers have obviously lost pace....

*bug*

I am sorry this is happening to our boards. I am irritated by it all too. I am sorry that all of this is ruining it for other board members as well. I wish we could all unite against the ill changes of our fun place.

WORD!!!

i completely understand jryan why there should not be soo many new threads i hope i wasnt out of line posting my Meeting VDO thread if so i am sorry

Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden.




As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.





As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.





I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.




I lay my car keys on the table,
Put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,
And notice that the can is full.





So, I decide to put the bills back
On the table and take out the garbage first.





But then I think,
Since I'm going to be near the mailbox
When I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.





I take my check book off the table,
And see that there is only one check left.





My extra checks are in my desk in the study,
So I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking.





I'm going to look for my checks,
But first I need to push the Coke aside
So that I don't accidentally knock it over.





The Coke is getting warm,
And I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.





As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke,
A vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need water.





I put the Coke on the counter and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.





I decide I better put them back on my desk,
But first I'm going to water the flowers.





I set the glasses back down on the counter,
I fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.




Someone left it on the kitchen table.





I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,
I'll be looking for the remote,
But I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,
So I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,
But first I'll water the flowers.





I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.




So, I set the remote back on the table,
Get some towels and wipe up the spill.





Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.





At the end of the day:

The car isn't washed

The bills aren't paid

There is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter

The flowers don't have enough water,

There is still only 1 check in my check book,

I can't find the remote,

I can't find my glasses,

And I don't remember what I did with the car keys.





Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,

I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all
Day, and I'm really tired.





I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it ..... But first I'll check my e-mail....

Do me a favor.




Forward this message to everyone you know,
Because I don't remember who the heck I've sent
It to.





Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!
