[The LK 4]

Good morning! Thanks for all of the birthday wishes!

No singing for me yet. I'm a little tired from my marathon night of Survivor, Apprentice, and ER.

I also struggled through the 11:00 news. I kept seeing a little blip of a story I wanted to catch. A woman was arrested for throwing a porn party for teenage boys with alcohol and cigarettes. She is the SIL of the guy who was our best man! She's pretty foul-mouthed and lewd, so it didn't surprise me at all.

Happy Birthday Lorraine!!!

Happy Brithday Laura!!!

I hope you both have a wonderful day!!!

Melissa, actaully I kind of figured out what "touch wood" was as well... even though some perverted people might think it means something else we have a saying "knock on wood" that means the exact same thing.

Hope you all have a great day

And since today is Friday we can all belly up to the bar this evening for celebratory rounds of whatever sounds good!!!!!

Drinks on Lou of course.


Have a very Happy Birthday Ladies and many more!!!!!!!

"To touch wood is a superstition action to ward off any evil consequences, say of untimely boasting; it can also be a charm to bring good luck. The origin is quite unknown, though some writers have pointed to pre-Christian rituals involving the spirits of sacred trees such as the oak, ash, holly or hawthorn. There is, I’m told, an old Irish belief that you should knock on wood to let the little people know that you are thanking them for a bit of good luck. Others have sought a meaning in which the wood symbolises the timber of the cross, but this may be a Christianisation of an older ritual. The children’s game of tag in which you are only safe so long as you are touching wood is not likely to be connected (an indicator of this may be that at times iron was substituted for wood if there was no wood handy). The phrase itself seems to be modern, as the oldest citation for touch wood in the Oxford English Dictionary dates only from 1908; my searches haven’t turned up anything earlier. (Incidentally, that work doesn’t have a single example of knock on wood, which is the American version of the British touch wood.)"

Happy Birthday to Laura and Lorraine. May you both have many more.

I woke up this morning with a really bad headache. I know it is from yesterday. Pete is prett upset, too. But he knows we did the right thing, and that she had a good life. I hope today is a little easier. Max has to go in to the vet later to get his Bordatella so he will be ready for vacation. He has really been looking for her this morning. Thanks to all of you for your kind thoughts and words. THey really mean a lot.

Have a great day, it is raining here, the street is totally flooded (as usual) in from of the house. It is supposed to rain on and off all day, I never knew there could be so much water coming out of the sky.
