My Laugh For Today!!

Maxine on her  'One Day Of Employment':

"So after landing my new job as a Home Depot greeter, a good find for many retirees, I lasted less than a day....
About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.

I said pleasantly, 'Good morning and welcome to The Home Depot. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?'

The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, 'Hell no, they ain't twins. The oldest one's 9, and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or stupid?'

So I replied, 'I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am, I just couldn't believe someone slept with you twice.Have a good day and thank you for shopping at the Home Depot.'

My supervisor said I probably wasn't cut out for this line of work!"

~ Don't Call Her Liz ~

One of my favorites - not only recognized for her talents, Elizabeth enjoyed a glamorous life style & lived life to its fullest though she struggled with health problems for most of it. She was also known for her beauty and her distinctive violet eyes!




Taylor's parting wish was that her funeral start late and I think why not :)! So in observance of her wish, the service began 15 minutes late.

The Conservatives Hard At Work For US??? ........ NOT!!

Yup you got it - this is what we pay for!

The guy sitting in the row in front of these two....he's on Facebook, and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.

These are the folks that couldn't get the budget out by Oct. 1, and are about to control your health care, cap & trade, and the list goes on & on! Should we buy them larger screen computers - or - a ticket home, permanently?

This is one of their 3-DAY WORK WEEKS that we all pay for (salary about $179,000 per year).

"a profound impact on the soul and heart that the song on it's own has the definite ability to "change peoples perspective" thus would help too lesson the amount of negativity in the world"

Arthur - couldn't agree with you more. Johnny Reid does an awesome
job on this - another great Canadian talent! His Juno win was so well deserved.

Another Alternative To My Name Is Purple

Well rather than the original I did for the challenge a few days back, I decided to revamp and switched the final to this one. Not sure which sure if that was the right decision - but oh well, its done now :)

You'll find it here at SBF to see how I am doing :).

This video so amuses me and I would say that I have probably watched it 6 or 7 times over the last week or so. You can't help but adore this precious child as his reactions vary from wonderment, to shock and then outbreaks of giggles when his mom blows her nose.



Emerson, a 5 month old hailing from London, Ontario, is a YouTube sensation. His video has gone viral generating some 6 million hits in less than a week. Awesome lil fella!!

~ Purple Is The Color Of My Name ~

Well have this ready to go for the next challenge. Never considered that my color was purple - while I do like it, it is not my favorite. This made it harder to come up with a page I liked using the purple but here it is!

If you want to find out the color of your name, just pop on over to here.

~ My Animal/Bird Spirit ~

One of my newest scrapbook postings is a page depicting your animal spirit - mine turned out to be the owl.

It also posted in the challenge here , checked it out & if you want you can even drop me a comment and/or a vote or two :). Wonder what your own spirit animal is?? - well just pop over to  Jerry's ,  lots of fun!

Happy St Patty's Day

Enjoy a few greens but remember if you do, drink responsibly and don't drive!!  The life you save may be your own.

Time Stands Still For No One

When I went back home several years ago, I found that the grand old farm house that I remembered with such vivid detail was no more. There stood a delapidated old building absent of most doors and windows, floors caved and beams broken and dangling precariously. A couple of years thereafter, I went back again, perhaps thinking someone may have made this old building whole again, but those shambled remnants of its very being were now all gone. Now the land where my beloved home once stood was a grain field. My heart broke - somehow a piece of my history ceased to exist and so to, I sensed a part of me died that day too.

My page depicts a broken and deserted home that once someone love too. I found this beautiful poem written by  VanMeer which is so fitting. Its almost as if he took the thoughts right from my heart.  Then I realize there are so many of us that have come to know the same experience as we grow older in life. Time stands still for no one now does it?!
