OK....with the Space Shuttle launch delayed...news programs have been talking a lot about its mission and I heard one guy say, "Outer space is the final frontier..."

And I thought: "These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise...its five year mission...."

Oh no! Remember tribbles? I have enough trouble with carpet fuzzballs...but tribbles???

Lol...hope it wasn't much damage.

I was trying to make rice pancakes and they wouldn't come off no matter what I did, so I scraped and scraped and....scraped and scraped....let's just say I spent more calories on making it that I got from eating it. I was probably an accountant in my previous life

Today I went to Grandma's....then grandma, my niece and I all went out to a family restaurant to eat. And we did some shopping at a couple of favorite stores. (THEY shopped.....I don't need anything.) On the way home we were on a 2 lane road that has lots of traffic. I saw to my left, a large brown animal starting to run across the road....I thought, "@#$%@...I don't want to hit that!" But it had run right under my car and I listened for the thumps...they never came. I looked in my rear view and saw the animal still running and it made it! There was no furry casualty for some errant crow to eat. Grandma said it was a woodchuck. It would have been a shame to kill one before discovering how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

I'll never forget the first day of spring around 1994. I was driving to college (an 8 mile trip) and I was listening to the radio. The DJ said, "It's the first day of spring and isn't it beautiful...the sun is out and the birds are singing...."

THWACK....I saw a quick flash of something hitting my windshield. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw feathers wafting everywhere. All
I could think was, "I've murdered a herald of spring....this can't bode well."

But back to today....on my way home...on a country road I have travelled countless times I rounded a corner and there was a a chicken...a male....a fricken chicken in the road. I didn't hit it and I didn't stop to ask it why it was crossing the road....

JT, ooooh- did your story give me flashbacks. I had elbow length long blonde hair. I'm not one to brag, but it used to be my best asset. Long, thick and fine. (During the Farrah days, life was great) Well, spiral perms were big and I decided I was tired of totally straight hair. Hot rollers never worked as my hair was too fine, the curls drooped and flattened by days end. And because it was thick took forever to roll. I went to a hairdresser and she left the perm solution in too long. I later found out because my hair was naturally blonde, solution can't be left in very long or it burns. She unrolled the masterpiece, I gasped. Kinky, not spiral and by day three, clumbs of hair began to fall out of my head. Burned to a crisp. I tried to layer it, but is just looked like Jan Brady with the black wig, only blond. Finally, A sassy bob... I was never the same. I had a Princess Diana cut, well. I cried for three years, and applauded when my hair finally reached my shoulders again. Women and bad hairdos.

Funny, many people don't give it much thought, but we do. I like the mod cut, its a unique style.

Yeah...I have poodle pics someplace, too. For me...it was my MOM who insisted she could give me a "body perm"...Mom was a nurse, not a hairdresser. So here I was sitting with the Ogilvie home perm in my hair expecting to have cascading blonde locks....and I had a head full of curls.
OverWHELMING curls.

Now I am so traumatized I barely do ANYTHING with my hair...but the good news is, it's growing in with gentle curls FINALLY!

Oh my god -- a hair conversation and I just clued in?

I'm so anal about my hair, that I literally talk to my hair and make it go the way I want, otherwise, it's in a lot of trouble!

I've had perms and long hair and sun-in kind of hair. All my life I thought my hair was naturally straight, until I realized a few years ago, my hair has some wave to it.

But finally, after years of experimenting, I've got it long and layered, so it can get messy and I won't be fussing about it.

Finally!

Hm. The other night was family dinner night. I was talking about Peeps (because I had brought Peeps)...I said, "I thought about a dog, but I think they need a lot of attention, I thought about a cat, but my heart was really telling me to get a bird."

My uncle said, "Ever think about getting a MAN?"

I shoulda said, "Well you're a high degree mason...can you find me one?"

I said, "If I could find a guy who didn't require constant attention and was friendly no matter what...."

Families.

I AM old. Yesterday my cousin and his GF came over to see the new place and my cousin said, "I'm going to take you out for dinner....the sky's the limit". I said, "The family restaurant is good." He said, no...come on...there's famous Dave's and Outback steak house. Then we decided Greek Food would be tasty. I said, "They have Greek Specialties at the family restaurant."

It was a very good supper. And not very expensive. And we had a great time bantering with the waitress.

Ah now a story about a childs innocent little mind. I was with my sister and her friend, and we were talking about sea life or somthing to that effect, and the line "Those are living, breathing orgasms" was uttered by my sisters friend. I loose it, I almost spew ice cream out of my nose!

Kids say the darndest things.

I have to share a joke from another board with you. It's a response by "cpk" to a thread discussing why Tom and Katie's baby hasn't been photographed yet.

I think the baby was beamed up to the mother ship...

Today I took a walk. As I was walking back into the complex in which I live, I noticed a rabbit sort of slowly jumping across the road. Then I came up to the office area and I saw the rabiit just sitting between a couple of plants about 4 feet away from me. I thought, "That's odd...why doesn't she run?" Then I looked down at my feet and there were six adorable baby rabbits. There may have been more, but they'd obviously dug under these short shrubs so they couldn't be seen. This little red-headed boy came up to me and said, "Can you grab one of them?" I said, "No, that would be bad....their mama's right over there hoping we don't see them. The mama needs to raise them, so don't tell anyone that they are hiding here." He said, "ok"...and I think he MEANT it!

Today I went shopping for cds and I had no luck. I could not find the ones I was looking for at any of the stores. Then when I got home I got out of the car, looked down, And saw that my zipper was down the whole time.
