Yup!!! I certainly can on both of those (but I did notice you didn't say touch your nose with your tongue... can't do that).

 

late for an appointment - talk later!!!

 

HA!!! I figured you'd catch that! (I can do both, actually - I have what hubband calls a "Jean Simmons" tongue.) Thanks GEM! Hubband might get mad if I entertain any more marriage proposals, though!

 

Yes and yes.

My friend's grandmother just got diagnosed with liver cancer and they didn't catch it until late last week so it's advanced to stage 3 and is inoperable. They normally don't do chemo for it at this stage either, because there is so little time left.

 

I'm trying not to dwell on it, but not only did this nice lady have cancer problems, but my dad has been fighting multiple meyloma cancer (blood cancer) for a few years now (it was properly diagnosed in January 2005, hubband proposed the night I went home on leave in June - but when I saw what dad looked like, there was no way we WEREN'T getting married before the end of the year and my next deployment...hence the planning, coordinating a semi-formal wedding in 10 days. Long story.) His dad died of stomach cancer at age 49...so when dad hit 49 he celebrated. A little too soon. One of my "mentors" and a dear friend has had brain cancer for at least six years now - they thought they caught it all (although it's 100% fatal) during his last surgeries, but now he has to go back in for chemo and is having a really tough time with it, physically and personally (his freakin' wife left him when he was diagnosed!!! Nasty wench.) He's not close enough for me to help him out, other than calling and emailing. THIS SUCKS!!!!!

OK!!! SEriously. Unless ya'll want me to be weeping all over my electronics, here, we have to change the subject.

I am currently JAMMING to Kazzer's "Pedal to the Metal" -- the zoom zoom song from the 2003 Italian Job. YAY! Makes me want to go driving. Like. RIGHT. NOW. *sigh* too bad I have to work.

 

OK... hopefully this will get a few laughs (even though the drivers are almost all women!)

I was feeling very sad from reading all this stuff about sick people... and it's kind of rainy too.

Anyway, I just watched that video of the drivers and I think I might have tinkled a little from laughing so hard! That one when the guy finally got out of the car to park the car for that nimrod... HS... well, that was SO bad, you'd think it was a set up for a hidden camera show or something! There were many that I was viewing through teary eyes!

So, I can't touch my nose with my tongue unless I push my nose down... and I did teach myself how to tie a cherry stem in my mouth... I was young and bored.

Hey Hal- thanks for the "secret directions". We went from SR64 to 27 through Haines City to I-4... got all confused on and off of tollways and eventually got to rt 50. So it's better to go toward Merritt Island instead of Titusville? Only question... if they close the island when there is a launch... where would I go?

 

US-1 has quite a few places along the beach; just head north from 522. Here's some suggestions from NASA.

I don't know if you can still get what they call a "base pass". If you go to www.nasa.gov and search around you might find where you can get one.

 

Yeah, that's what I was thinking... looking on Google Earth. Looked last night at the NASA site (I think) and was doing some reading up. There are a couple of launches set for mid May but no idea if they are day or night yet. I would love to see both... and I don't mind smelling a bit of rocket fuel!

 

I started a thread a while back (before I found the Freebies) and I thought of it when watching TN's video. SO funny - see the first post.

Late morning peeps.... just checking in to say hi but i have to announce.... IT IS A SUNNY BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!

since this (young) lady is not working at the moment, i'm going out to the drive way and wash my baby!!! it will rain tomorrow so i will be doing the same friday! but i'm getting used to this chain of events....

talk to you all later today!!!

 

I wish I could wash my car...

 

I wish I could play hookey and go drive my car...

 

*cough, cough*

 

I can't get the vid to come up... arrrrrrrrrgggggghhh and a major WAAAAAAHHH!

 

Try this link (it's called "Crimes of Carelessness"):

This, also, amuses me.

So... I'm at 35 seconds. Where are you?

 

OMG- that's hysterical!! Now I know why everyone talks about Bricks in their desks and Rabid Wolverines in their pants!
Woo Hoo...

 

Ok I'm at 47 seconds now. I changed my jumping height a wee bit, decided to run to the end of my chain and scream instead of punching him in the *****, and use my bitten off arm as a weapon instead of wrapping my chain around his neck. Good info to know in case this ever happens to me!

 

I'd found that... and it seems that I'm velociraptor poop! Guess I'll have to start my work out program in earnest! UGH!

 

You two crack me up. 'Ola, how the HE-DOUBLE HOCKEYSTICKS did you get 47 seconds????? I got 1 min 22, and i've had training! (I, also, opted to punch him in the ***** and beat him with my arm.)

I LOVE the rabid wolverine in your underpants thing. I giggle every time i think about it. That, and the "make sure your parents eat the matches" thing.

 

Well, I just made the husband do this over the phone. His first test was 1 min 03... then we went back and changed two of his answers (because I hadn't asked if they were the "final answer" )... and he got 1 min 13. Looks like the more passive you are with this guy... the longer you live. Who knew? The answers that I changed on his were: he wanted to "curl up in a ball and whimper" instead of "run and scream to the end of the chain". And the other was the "sleeper-choking techniques"... he wanted to say "yes" instead of "no". He's like a foot and a half taller than me... so maybe that helps.

 

I lasted for 60 seconds.

 

I'm up to 1 minute 3 seconds...
going back to see if I can make friends with this velociraptor... maybe that would help. Do you think he'd like me if I fed him peeled grapes and dark chocolate??? Maybe I could turn him into a vegetarian!!!
