Meanwhile, a morning errand.

Oh-oh. Gate is still open. Hope the inmates don't find out.

Darn, I went thru the archives and thought I saved a shot of Charlotte's blue dots and guess not!

Hi Rusty. I love my jeans, I love my jeans, I love my jeans......

so you know to tell the difference in sex between male and female chromosomes???

pull down their genes ;)

let's hear it for blue jeans!

Someone forgot that today is the 120 anniversary of Shredded wheat! Breakfast was never the same until KK's came along, or was that Bagels?

morin' gang...i have my jeans on now! on the news this morning they had over 500 people making a snow angel, making it into the guiness book...i didn't catch where though...i will try to peek in later on today, have a great day all, and try to stay warm!

Hi all, finally made it back...and lucky me just in time for another ice storm....Have to get my son over to Greensboro for his final test before back surgery.... Yes, Margarite we will be around on 2-28...give us a call...Would like to see you... UB

Uncle Bob. I wish god luck to your son, and let's hope for a speedy recovery. Annie B.

Today is:-

Ring Finger Day

The custom of wearing a wedding ring on the third finger (not counting the thumb) of the left hand was started by the Greeks in the 3rd century B.C. - by mistake! The physicians wrongly believed that a vein ran from this finger to the heart. They called this the "vein of love" and considered this the logical place to wear a ring symbolizing love.

welcome back uncle bobby, good luck to your son and his surgery...how was your trip to the beach? was it cold?

annie, interesting story...thought this was as well, on one of the "deep" threads we were talking about this when leif posted a link to a cartoon with the song "who let the dogs out." now as i received an email from a friend this morning (i won't tell who) with the tune of the "chicken dance" all my office mates have that tune in our head...had to put my mp3 player back on to try to wash the earworm out! check this out...does this mean i am neurotic? Have a great day all!

Song Stuck In Your Head?

Annie, Thanks for the kind words reference my son, it seems these things come at all ages, he is 41 and thought he was as healthy as young champion horse... I have been trying to catch up on some of the threads I missed while we were gone and I see Emma has finished the chemo and now ready for the zapping...Gosh, we just hope with all our might that a cure comes out of all this...

A belated Welcome back Freddie...Hope you trip was as good as you had hoped for...

Cynde, thanks for your thoughts on my son back a few days ago when I was leaving...Have to skip out now for a meeting and then beat the ice to Greensboro...Until Tomorrow...UB

Hey...check out this large party at the S.Beach....

Hi everyone.
Hugs to Annie and Emma.
Lots of positive thoughts to Bobby's son.
Dad in law is back in hospital, having a CT scan tomorrow. However the bungalow is finished and mum in laws only complaint is that she doesn't know where to do her ironing! Many thanks for all the kind thoughts over the past weeks. It has made a difference.
I've never had a pair of jeans, ever!
Are there any BT talkers that live in Amsterdam? I need a small but really cheeky favour. Any takers?
