Cincy Bengals - fishing

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

A guy walks into a bar with a dachshund under his arm. The dog is wearing a
Cincinnati Bengals jersey and helmet, and is festooned with Bengal pom-poms.
The bartender says, “Hey! No pets are allowed! You’ll have to leave.”
The guy begs him, “Look, I’m desperate! We’re both big fans, the TV’s
broken at home, and this is the only place around where we can see the
game.”
After securing a promise that the dog will behave, and warning him that he
and the dog will be thrown out if there’s any trouble, the bartender relents
and allows them to stay in the bar and watch the game.
The big game begins with the Bengals receiving the kickoff. They march down
field, get stopped at the 30, and kick a field goal. Suddenly, the dog
jumps up on the bar and begins walking up and down the bar giving high-fives
to everyone.
The bartender says, “Wow, that is the most amazing thing I’ve seen! What
does the dog do if they score a touchdown?”

Touchie

I’m crafty too! What do you do? I had a booth once where they have 500 set
up. It didn’t go well because I realized if someone had $500 to spend there,
and bought one item from each booth - all you’d sell is $1.00!!!!!! I make
padded wedding albums that have a detachable ring bearer pillow so it can be
used in the ceremony, then be a keepsake forever. With that, I make 2
matching 4×6 size albums for the 2 sets of parents. They are similar
(material and some decorations) to the bride/groom’s album. I also embroider
Precious Moments prints for padded album covers. I also do hat art (snowmen,
ladies, cowboys) of various sized hats. I put a smaller hat on the larger
hat with the faces, etc.
Isn’t it too bad that food tastes so good? Please see a dietitian and I have
several recipes I adapted that my kids were raised on. I love adapting
Jell-O recipes. They are tasty and extremely low calorie. I would suggest to
*spice* up your conversations with other topics rather than just your food
intake - or lack thereof. After awhile, you’ll find people not as interested

Jan,
I was glad to see your posts this morning. I have not gotten many from the
list for a few days. My other list has been busy and by the time I get them
read and respond appropriately, I have to log off. The weekend and so far
this week have been a little too hectic. But I am hoping that will change
today and I will get a few days of peace before the weekend comes. Weekends
are always hectic with hubby home, but last was horrific.
How are you doing Jan? I was going to write this privately, but decided we
needed to perk up the list a little.

potty training

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

(Received from MaritDW)
My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training; and
I was on him constantly.
One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between
errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying
my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven
month old daughter, and she was clean. Then I realized that Matt
had not asked to go potty in a while, so I asked him, and he said
“No.”
I kept thinking, “Oh My, that child has had an accident and I don’t
have any clothes with me.” Then I said, “Matt, are you sure you did
not have an accident?” “No,” he replied. I just knew that he must
have had, cause the smell was getting worse.
So, I asked one more time, “Matt, did you have an accident?”
This time, with a little smirk on his face, he jumped up, yanked

Sarah,
BTW, if you’re *toast* in the USof A, you’re burnt bread - a no gooder -
worth nothing. A husband crawling in a door at 3a.m. would be *toast.*
Glad you explained the Australian meaning. lol
