AND I'm back (from my FL trip, that is)!!!! It is good to be back home, and have time to get on the Internet again.Thank you for the kind words, Solane; you're so much fun yourself & I love your sense of humor!! I hope you had a wonderful Birthday; many, many happy belated wishes!! And no, Bluemoon, no one here will compel you to clean up your room... Though, seeing as you're the mommy of your house, you're probably having to regularly clean a whole house as opposed to just a room... (unless you've lucked out and gotten yourself a mate who loves to clean!) Now, here is my contribution to the mystery of the lost socks; I'm betting this is where they all go, to the Land of the Lost Socks: That makes me rather sad, to see all the lonely socks. Here's hoping that all the lost socks out there in lost-sock-land get to reunite with their mates again someday: IP: Logged |

Bluemoon, now I see why you said you didn't want to clean up your room... I missed that day, but I still don't want to clean mine. And here is a sexist joke (fair warning!) that's funny all the same: Why don't we lobby to have May 10 changed to "DON'T clean up your room" day?! These cleaners aren't all that good for you anyway!

Hey, I hope everyone enjoyed "Eat what you want" day yesterday - I didn't know we were celebrating it, but i still ate whatever I wanted! Ok, WAAAAIT a minute... why does "eat what you want" day have to coincide with "Twilight Zone" day?? Are 'they' trying to send us a message? *highly suspicious* *insert Twilight Zone theme song here* IP: Logged |

Ok, here we go...Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my Limerick reading... *clears throat* There was a Young Lady whose chin, Resembled the point of a pin; So she had it made sharp, And purchased a harp, And played several tunes with her chin. *** There was a Young Person of Crete, Whose toilette was far from complete; She dressed in a sack, Spickle-speckled with black, That ombliferous person of Crete. *** *smiles nervously and thinks to self, perhaps I should find something funnier; this is a tough crowd... * A young woman from the Land Where the Sun Rises Had boobs of unequal sizes. The left one was small And didn’t seem abnormal at all, But the right one was so huge it won prizes. *** An accident really uncanny, Befell an unfortunate granny. She sat down in a chair While her false teeth were there, And bit herself right in the fanny. *** Thank you, ladies & gentlemen!! Have a great night!! Sunshine p.s. Everyone's welcome to share a favorite limerick or two, or five!! Step right up!! IP: Logged |
