For helping me have a good day. I really appreciate all the nice posts and replies I found here this morning - I really needed that. Sometimes having a "good day" is not about the events of the day - what the world has done to you - but rather your own perception, outlook, and what you are willing to do for the world. Several of you inadvertently conspired to get me started on the right foot today. I guess that's an oxymoron, but then sometimes so am I!

Rich - Sometimes it is the less eloquent that we need to hear from most! Thank you.

Hahaha!! My Mama calls me her "little oxymoron" cause she says I'm "sweetsmith". I'd be offended but what the heck......is very true at times Smile

Neither one of my parents were calling me that yesterday. We went to the beach up at St. Augustine last week and were driving home in pouring rain. It just went on and on and I was being a little cranky from the backseat. Daddy has a 5 stack CD player and he had Shania Twain, Shania Twain....ad nauseum.
He has a thing for Shania (can you tell?) He said he could hear my headphones..that is so not possible. We both kept turning up the volume til my mama made us turn everything off. How many times have you sat in that really icky silence where everyone is mad and you can just feel it? Finally, Mama started singing "Bridge over Troubled Waters" and we all just kinda cracked up. At least I never asked if we were there yet!!
I did have to get out and open all 5 cattle guard gates so I guess he won >>haha<< It's one thing to be wet in the Atlantic, another to be dripping in the rain Smile

Have you EVER seen a bridge lay itself down over troubled waters?

Well, except on the front of an army bridgelayer?

So what does that say for seaman and garfinkel?

Now, I truly prefer the idea of a fridge, not a bridge.

I'll take fudge if not fridge. I never considered that "I will lay me down" like that. Hmm. Whatever happened to Garfunkel anyway? I should know since I had him on vinyl as a kid and now on CD. Heard he was gay, btw, not sure, not especially relevant.

Now, if we take that to its logical conclusion.........

"How come gay couples check out of hotels earlyier thanany other guests in the morning?"

"Coz they pack their shit overnight!"

I just can't swallow that.....



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Five Shania Twain CDs in a row? I'd rather walk home in the rain!

Your mom certainly had the right idea. Five-plus hours of Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" would be infinitely more tolerable!

Welcome home, smith!

I echo Trevor...it is sooo nice to be able to get up in the morning, make breakfast with Man (he's soo cute rubbing his eyes and yawning trying to wake up...I'm much more a morning person than him) and being able to laugh at a post on the MB...that's been pretty rare and precious lately.

Welcome back, smith...it's been raining here for the past three days, too. I love the sound of it on the roof, and also sit out on the porch and watch and listen to therain in the garden. It was really quiet here Saturday and Sunday because those are Man's school days.

Yup...fridge over troubled waters...my doctor would agree that's my motto...that's the same doctor that wants me to lose 30 pounds pronto...ugh...
