There will be no Nativity Scene in Washington this year !!

The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a Nativity Scene in the United States' Capital this Christmas season.

This isn't for any religious reason...
They simply have not been able to find Three Wise Men in the Nation's Capitol...
A search for a Virgin continues.
There was no problem, however, finding enough donkeys to fill the stable.

I'm gonna steal this and post it to Facebook.

You described my entire work-week in one sentence, Jen! I make a list daily of the jobs I need to do in their order of priority. With all the interruptions I have, I'm lucky to complete the first item on my list.

I find it odd that people make appointments with their Doctors, Dentists, Hair Stylist - heck - even their Dog Groomer, but they have no second thoughts about dropping into my office thinking I'm just sitting there waiting for them to arrive! I have asked repeatedly for a courtesy phone call to make sure I have time to deal with their issue(s) before coming to the office. They take it as "it applies to everyone but THEM"! Arrrrgh! I swear I'm going to set things up so I can work from home!

Senior Health Care Solution
So you're a senior citizen and the government says no health care for you, what do you do?
Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. Your are allowed to shoot 2 senators and 2 representatives. Of Course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get 3 meals a day, a roof over your head, and all the health care you need! New teeth, no problem. Need glasses, great. New hip, knees, kidney, lungs, heart? All covered.
And who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you that you are too old for health care. Plus, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income taxes anymore.

IS THIS A GREAT
COUNTRY OR WHAT?

We went to a Japanese Hibachi dinner last night for my husbands birthday with a couple of friends - after I made him a tardis birthday cake and bought him a new kindle from amazon - and damn - that was good eats. Problem is - A) it was expensive and B) its like 1 mile from my house - so how do I keep myself from going there like - all the time now. I guess its just really cost prohibitive - but it was really delicious and I cant stop thinking about when can we go again - kind of like the Fort.

We could have the pumpkins pies i just got out of the oven for dessert.

Oohh, that would have been the perfect dessert. Some good fish tonight. Not as good as fresh-caught, but good nonetheless.

Hey Frank, can you batter them and broil or bake? I should have tried that with a single piece, but I didn't want to mess up the whole dinner, so it was fried. Not every meal has to be healthy, huh?

Interesting question, I don't know, but in my mind I can't see battered (or abused)fish being broil'd or bake,,but sounds like a good experiment to me,

If you try it,, let me know the outcome.

They would then just knock at your door and let themselves in!

How come Jen didn't post that?

 

[BRDof3]

I have found my new favorite web site, called MyLifeIsAverage.com. It's a running collection of anecdotes posted by people, and some of it is outright hilarious. I have read thru more than 40 pages so far, and some of them have made me laugh out loud. My favorite so far:

Today, my friend and I changed our contact info in our other friend's phone. I don't know which was funnier: the look on my friend's face when Jesus texted him calling him an ******, or the look on his face when God texted him after that to apologize for his son's rude comments. MLIA

 

[OK GRUMPY]

Thats funny!

 

[AuburnJen92]

How come Jen didn't post that?

Um, Jen saw it in person and thought it was old news. They were given their awards at halftime at the game I attended. I watched it from the sideline before I went on the field.

Here is the story...
