I opened my dictionary the other day. I don't remember what word I was looking up, but I do remember some of the other words on the same page as the word I was looking for. I am half sure it started with an H. Now just before or maybe a little after was the word or combo word half-dime. That is a coin that was minted for a half a second, well maybe a little longer-- that was worth five cents. I don't know why they didn't just call it a nickel and get it over with. Also on the same page there... Sign in to see full entry.

THREE LADIES IN A SAUNA!
This is from an e-mail I got today. Too good not to share! THREE WOMEN, TWO YOUNGER, AND ONE SENIOR CITIZEN, WERE SITTING NAKED IN A SAUNA. SUDDENLY THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND. THE YOUNG WOMAN PRESSED HER FOREARM AND THE BEEP STOPPED. THE OTHERS LOOKED AT HER QUESTIONINGLY. 'THAT WAS MY PAGER,' SHE SAID. I HAVE A MICROCHIP UNDER THE SKIN OF MY ARM. A FEW MINUTES LATER, A PHONE RANG. THE SECOND YOUNG WOMAN LIFTED HER PALM TO HER EAR. WHEN SHE FINISHED, SHE EXPLAINED, 'THAT WAS MY MOBIL E PHONE.... Sign in to see full entry.

GRANDPA'S CAR!
Well sort of. Here it is the car that could turn on a dime and give ten cents change. Well, that is actually just the picture of the owners guide. I kept it when we sold the car. Umm..we sold it to a collector who promised to take good care of it. I hope he did. Thanks for dropping in! Do you think that collector still has the car? Sign in to see full entry.

TURNS ON A DIME?
My grandpa used to say his car could turn on a dime and give you ten cents change. So for quite a while I would go out into the street where he had turned the car from the street into our driveway and look for change. You know what? A lot of times I found some! I don't think I ever found ten pennies, but I often found at least one nickel and a few pennies. Neat huh? Year later when I started to drive I liked to think that there was some kind of change machine in the steering column or maybe in... Sign in to see full entry.

THE WHITE GLOVE TEST?
I've never done a white glove test around the house to see if it is so dust free that you cant find any dust even when checking while wearing white gloves--One reason is because I don't have any white gloves! I did at one time, but I really don't know what I did with them. They, (the gloves that is) are probably around somewhere. But by now they wouldn't be very white. They'd be yellow. I'd have to have them cleaned before I even put them on and test for dust. Another reason I would never try... Sign in to see full entry.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
This is from an e-mail a friend sent me. Just had to share it! A man was walking home alone late one foggy night, when behind him he hears: BUMP.... BUMP... BUMP... Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him. BUMP... BUMP... BUMP... Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, the casket bouncing quickly behind him FASTER... FASTER... BUMP... BUMP... BUMP.. He runs up to his door,... Sign in to see full entry.

CRAZY LADY HAS ORANGE HAND TOWEL IN WINDOW!
I have to go somewhere and get a decal to put on my sunroom window. You know like you put on a sliding glass doors and such to keep people from walking into them. This would be the same thing, only for birds. You see there are several nests of birds in the trees of my yard and they are just learning to fly. They are really fun to watch as they take off and swoop around. Trying their wings for the first time. Unfortunately in the past week I have heard a loud 'whomp' on my window. The first...

RICE KRISPY TREATS!
--Show of hands--Who has made Rice Krispy Treats? Almost everyone?--If you haven't made them I bet you have eaten them at least once. OK I hadn't thought about Rice Krispy Treats in a really long time--That is until this afternoon. I filled my car with gas and...fed it a Rice Krispy Treat!--No, not really. But I did get enough change to buy a cup of coffee, now that hasn't happened in a while. When I paid for the coffee I saw a whole lot of Rice Krispy Treats. Three for a dollar. I had enough to...

NICKEL NOTEBOOKS?
You know what this country needs is a good five cent nickel! (Groucho Marx, I think) Not too long ago I bought a couple of spiral notebooks for five cents apiece. As a matter of fact, I am writing in one right now. It is really hi-tech, never runs out of batteries, never crashes or looses my writing in cyberspace. OK sometimes my penmanship sort of sucks. (I think that is what it said...yes I am transcribing from the notebook.) So I guess it isn't really that high tech. Noticing a sign in front... Sign in to see full entry.

WHO IS THIS WITH A TENNIS BALL?
Yes, he is extremely cute...at least I think so. I wonder why my arm hurts. I only threw that ball fifty times. Thanks for dropping in. Anyone want to take over and throw the ball a few hundred times? (I'm just kidding, sort of.) A rose from me and from you know who! =^..^= & Woof! Sign in to see full entry.
