Easy Sudoku for 19/August/2008

MizTricia, thanks for that link. I bookmarked for later - have to get the puzzles done before I go to tennis. It looks & sounds fabulous so I check it out this afternoon! Thanks a lot!

Oh, Rayray - your poem gets better & better!

BTW, Between the plunnel and the chunnel, my voyage will go on and on and on since I'll only be flying twice - into Sydney and then back home again. hehehehe!

Thanks for the by-line Rayray.
Great poem.

Oh Rayray, you are such a clever fellow! I have a picture of Bean in her plunnel! And it's hysterical!

Good morning everyone.I loved the jokes today,you all keep me smiling.What a great bunch of people you are.

Another wonderful poem, Rayray. Great jokes, thanks Gannie Mo Jim & Greg. Hello everyone. Debby I'm very happy about your friend! I'm plotting my trip Gannie Mo! Off to do the puzzles before I have to get ready for tennis!! See you later! Didn't know I was cahanging pages before so didn't get to wear my new helmet from Jerry

cahanging?? I guess it should be changing!!!

Morning - very busy here this morning. I'm off back to bed to catch a few more zzz's - justr because I can!

Rayray recently inspired me to write a poem for my 2 children.Hope I dont bore you all.
To be a grandparent is truly the best
Our little Benny the first of the quest
Along came the twins our delight was complete
Tyler & Beau made 3 and all were a treat

A few years rolled by without any more
Our hearts went out to our girl to even the score
As the family grew bigger with rellies new babies
IVF was awaiting for needy young ladies

With many a tear the day finally arrived
When a pregnancy confirmed the egg had survived
A long wait ahead would confirm the suspicion
A boy or a girl.What was the condition.

During this time it was an up & down emotion
All was not well to add to the commotion
Along came a call the blessing was doubled
Many a prayer for the little ones troubled

3 months early and tiny but sweet
2 little girls made us grandparents complete
Kailah & Maddylain were a joy to behold
There life is unfolding and yet to be told

Now we have 5 lovely grand kids to cherish
Their parents delighted & hope for this wish
Do well in your life for you only have one
Enjoy what unfolds for life has begun.

How sweet, Nola!!!

Good jokes today, folks! CG, loved the Army one. Of course, that wasn't necessarily a joke - Hillbilly (er, I mean "country") women ARE tough!!!

Hi all just a short visit got a lot to do today I have to ask whatever happned to those nice lazy days where I used to be on this site nearly all day .[groan]

Oops happened not happned. to anyone I may have missed over the last two days.

Beautiful Nola - enjoyed your poem immensely.

Vici...thanks. How is the fire situation there now?

Thanks for asking, Nola - fire dogs sleeping! We haven't had smoke in our area for about 3 weeks now. I think there are still fires up north (I've read Eve/Oregon mentioning some smoke) and I doubt the Big Sur fire is completely out as that area is very unaccessable and their fires always burn for a long time.

Thats good news Vici.Now we have to hope that Faye doesnt cause any problems in Florida.
My nephew fights fires in the US as a helicopter pilot.Been there years now.

up here and down under. I imagine Europe should be to you....
Busy in here! just had time to read Ray Ray'poem ... Great!
Heavy thunder showers in here, better have some dinner before I loose electircity... I'll try to come back later... Au revoir!

Im off to work now.Have another 2 shifts then a week off for the twins birthday party on Sunday.
Catch you all tomorrow.

Nola: Your poem is great. You should definitely work at it.
G-Mo: Thanks for the things learnt from parents - really good. I am creased up.
Shosho: What happened to that poor cat you throw about. Is it injured?

Barbequed space invaders

Rayray and Nola - You poems are great!!! What talent!

you=your

Nola and Rayray: Excellent offerings this morning, thank you.

Hi Amelia, nice to see you drop in.

Two women were out for a Saturday stroll with their dogs. One had a Doberman and the other had a Chihuahua .

As they walked down the street, the one with the Doberman said to her friend, "Let's go over to that bar for a drink."

The lady with the Chihuahua said, "We can't go in there. We've got the dogs with us."

The one with the Doberman said, "Just watch, and do as I do." As they walked towards the bar the one with the Doberman put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk in.

The bouncer at the door said, "Sorry, lady, no pets allowed."

The woman with the Doberman said, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."
The bouncer said, "A Doberman is your seeing eye dog?"

The woman said, "Yes, they're using them now. They're very good."

The bouncer said, "OK, come on in."

The lady with the Chihuahua thought convincing the bouncer that a Chihuahua was a seeing-eye dog may be a bit more difficult, but
thought, "What the heck," so she put on her dark glasses and started to walk in.

Once again the bouncer said, "Sorry, lady, no pets allowed."

The woman said, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."

The bouncer said, "A Chihuahua?"

The woman with the Chihuahua said, "A Chihuahua? They gave me a frigging Chihuahua ???"

hello everyone-

for those of you who are interested, i've left some what of an update on my page.

I don't have any time for reading or playing tonight, but I just had to check in-

Missing many of you-
Marylinn

Instead of writing about traveling, I've been out playing tourist ... not far away, just a few hundred miles up my own West Coast, but I have escaped the US just barely, into Canada. It's been fun, but we travel back home tomorrow. I'll post a few pictures after we get back.

I thought it might be interesting to ask Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby, just who WAS behind the grassy knoll, but then I thought that would ruin a good many jokes and conspiracy theories....

Nola that poem is wonderful! Great joke Jane! Hi marylinn

Debby - pleased that you friend is improving. Good news for his family and friends.
Rayray and Nola - nice poetry today.
Good jokes today - I remember Greg's hillbilly one but there were others too - all funny (why don't I write things down?)

We had a koala in our backyard this morning. The dogs in the yard behind us were jumping and whining at our fence. So Hubby and I went up for a look and there, high up in a Macadamia tree was a koala. I just checked and he's still there. Any other aussies - don't they need eucalypts? Anyway, if he's still there in the morning I'll phone the Koala Protection Society - they want reports of sightings anyway. We took photos and if any are clear enough I'll post them later. Note: this is an unusual event - we live in a housing estate not acreage.

Been away all day, and have come back to find we are still on P4. Haven't had time to read back yet, but it must have been busy overnight.

Hey Peoples,
look I finally worked out how to get an avatar how exciting, well for me it is just have to look for more pictures, tried downloading the smiley central last night and now have a RUNDLL error appearing each time I start up the computer, goes to show beware what you download and now I cant get rid of it, oh well. Hope you are all well and I love reading all the chat,
cheers for now.

Nice avatar Sophia

1:54 - hi all.

Evening anyone who is around.
Just doing some work here on computer!
Yeah right Viv. lol eheheh
I second that CybB, nice avatar Sophia.
Must go and read Marylinn's page now.

Yeah Viv, my work was catching up on what is going on hehe!

Great avatar Sophia...
I had similar invasion from smiley toolbar... very annoying... hubby got rid of it... don't know how, sorry.
I get pictures from webshots.com and shrink them if necessary... using instruction from the this site, forum page and never had any problem. Good luck

Sophia - I downloaded Smiley Central on my old computer, and when I added their Cursor Mania, a new search engine was installed - which I didn't want and which I couldn't get rid of. THEN, I did my research and found that Smiley Central is loaded with adware and possibly even spyware. Whatever you do, don't download Cursor Mania!!!
