the three voting emblems come and go, I voted, I voted twice,

and I voted rocker. Plus my Total Access and Serious Collector

badges also have a tendancy to come and go as they please...

must be teenagers

So while I have a total of 13 emblems I sometimes will have

as fewas 7 or 8 because PS2 afficionado and probably others have

also dissapeared SO if you ever see your emblems leave on you

don't worry about it....they will return.

Mine always have.....although they usually are only gone

overnight it sometimes takes a few days. I guess a sleepover

isn't always a long enough vacation

Leaving in an hour or so.

Going to watch my dad for a week.

I been gone for about a week because my computer has been slowly

dying for the last couple of weeks and finally went on the fritz a week

ago.

Fortunately I still have a couple of months left on the warrenty so

I was able to get a new hard drive installed today.

Of course that means I lost almost everything I had accumulated

on my desktop over the last three years because I had backed up

hardly anything

The last DvD I made is about a year old so hardly worth it

losing photos of friends and family hurt a lot and I am annoyed

at myself for not making hard copies of my music.

I quit keeping track of how much I had in iTunes when it went

beyond 24 hours of Music and podcast downloads.

And I only made a hard copy of a few CDs

One in French a couple in German four in Spanish. But I didn't

make a CD of any of the Farsi or English and still had more

in Spanish.

I will have to buy some of them again because that was some

great tunes, I just alway listened to it off my computer and a

couple I didn't make CDs because I had it on cassette already.

The others I just kept putting off because.....I'm lazy

And now I'm back online in time to say:

Hi and goodbye -

I have to go out of town the day after tomorrow for at least

a week. as they say: When it rains

PLAYING WITH WORDS

My wife was in labor with our first child. Things were going pretty

well when suddenly she began to shout,

"Shouldn't, couldn't, wouldn't, didn't, can't!"
"Doctor, what's wrong with my wife?"
"Nothing. She's just having contractions.

CELEBRITY

A grasshopper hops into a bar. The bartender says, "You're quite a celebrity

around here. We've even got a drink named after you."

The grasshopper says, "You've got a drink named Steve?"

DEAR MOM

A mother enters her daughter's bedroom and sees a letter on the wall

over the bed. With the worst premonition, she reads it, with trembling

hands:"It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm telling you that I eloped

with my new boyfriend. I found real passion and he is so nice, with all his

piercing and tattoos and his big motorcycle. But is not only that Mom, I'm

pregnant and Ahmed said that we will very happy in his trailer in the

woods. He wants to have many more children with me and that's one of

my dreams. I've learned that marijuana doesn't hurt anyone and he'll be

growing it for us and his friends, who are providing us with all the cocaine

and ecstasy we may want. In the meantime, we'll pray for the science

to find the AIDS cure, for Ahmed to get better, he deserves it. Don't

worry Mom, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of

myself. Someday I'll visit for you to know your grandchildren.

Your daughter, Judith

PS:
Mom, it's not true. I'm at the neighbor's house. I just wanted to show

you that there are worse things in this life than my report card that's

in the desk drawer. "

For those of you in Rio Linda....this should NOT

be a tree house

Careful it might just be a trap

I firmly believe that all Animals have the:

right to be barbecued

See ya Ron, but IMO this is long overdue.

everyone should carry a spare tyre but this is ridiculous

Craigs List and ebay are fighting over this baby

Here is the REAL Hancock

at long last Mr. Astly has been rickrolled.

Police called out to a 999 call about an unexplained object in the

night sky solved the mystery straight away for their operator -

"it's the Moon, over."

But the emergency call meant the officers were sent out to a house

in the valleys area of south Wales.

They were told a "bright stationary object" was spotted above the

unnamed caller's home.

A recording of the call has been released as part of a police campaign

asking people to use 999 appropriately.

The Control Room conversation, which took place in May, was

recorded - and below is a transcript:

Control Room: "South Wales Police, what's your emergency?"

Caller: "It's not really. I just need to inform you that across the

mountain there's a bright stationary object."

Control room: "Right."

Caller: "If you've got a couple of minutes perhaps you could find out

what it is? It's been there at least half an hour and it's still there."

Control: "It's been there for half an hour. Right. Is it actually on the

mountain or in the sky?"

Caller: "It's in the air."

Control: "I will send someone up there now to check it out."

Caller: "OK."

The mystery was soon solved, as the exchange between control and

an officer at the scene, makes clear.

Control: "Alpha Zulu 20, this object in the sky, did anyone have a look at it?"

Officer: "Yes, it's the moon. Over."

Alert the RAF...it's a UFO!!

Control room staff also dealt with a stream of unsuitable calls on the

999 number during an "extremely busy period", said a spokesman.

Another caller rang asking for help when they wanted to vote for

Rhydian Roberts on the TV programme X-Factor.

But before I start I want to give warm birthday wishes to all my

Canadian friends for a happy Canada Day.

did you have a good Party on the first and who went out to

Parliament Hill to watch the mounted bands Trooping the Colour?

And now..for you who complain of heavy traffic:

how would you like to face this mess?

He is really "hung out to dry"

bad time to be playing solitaire on the office PC

I think he should have put a space in there someplace.
