CUZ..SO TRUE..LOTS OF CRAZY PEOPLE TRAVEL....

YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO CAREFUL, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE..I ALWAYS TELL MY KIDS..THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS, & KEEP EYES & EARS OPEN...

EVERYONE IS SUSPECT!!

Terry, you know what is scary?? The amount of people that go missing on cruise ships !! I have a feeling that people get drunk and as a prank, toss people overboard. I will never again go on deck at night alone, lol. What a horror, especially since I am afraid of the ocean and what lies beneath it, lol.

u know it is frightening just being out on the balcony in that dark deep water. Anyone can disappear very easily. Just looking down at the water and into the ocean at night on the balcony is really really frightening. I don't walk out on the deck at night it is so windy and too dark for me.....The teenagers and older kids don't realize anyone can sleep a pill into their drink and get them to go anywhere. Does not matter how old you are there are crazy people out there. Thats what I think happened to that couple that the husband was not found and they try to blame her. I think one of the crew and some Russian guys put a druh in there drink and killed him and left her behind.

Hi Guys - Wow so much going on. Well my mom is pretty much the same...very tired and weak...now she is getting sick from the radiation, very nauseous (sp) and no appetite at all, which is not a good thing...she needs to eat to keep her strength up and for her sugar...hopefully this week she will continue rehab and regain some strength back....we are still trying to find a nurse for her when she gets home...we think she may be released on Friday, but we don't know what condition she will be in...we are still trying to find a good nurse to stay with her.

Nice to hear happy things for a change.

Sick Joke of the Day....

What is the difference between Bird Flu and Swine Flu?

For bird flu you need tweetment and for swine flu you need oinkment!

Lets Keep Those Laughs Coming.... He! He! He!....

A teacher is explaining biology to her 4th grade students. "Human Beings
are the only animals that stutter", she says.

A little girl raises her hand. "I had a kitty-cat who stuttered", she volunteered.

The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become,
asked the girl to describe the incident.

"Well", she began, "I was in the back yard with my kitty and the Rottweiler who lives next door got a running start and before we knew it, he jumped over the fence into our yard!

"That must've been scary", said the teacher.

"It sure was", said the little girl. "My kitty went 'Fffff, Fffff, Fffff..... and before he could say "Fuck," the Rottweiler ate him!"

This Should Bring a Smile to Your Face.....

Some people are like Slinkies ... Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

One More for the Road......

A professor at the University of Kentucky was giving a lecture on the supernatural.

To get a feel for his audience, he asks, 'How many people here believe in ghosts?

About 90 students raise their hands.

'Well, that's a good start. Out of those of you who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you have seen a ghost?'

About 40 students raise their hands.

'That's really good. I'm really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone
here ever talked to a ghost?'

About 15 students raise their hand.

'Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?'

Three students raise their hands.

'That's fantastic. Now let me ask you one question further...Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?'

Way in the back, Jimmy Bob raises his hand.

The professor takes off his glasses, and says 'Son, all the years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever claimed to have made love to a ghost.
You've got to come up here and tell us about your experience.

The big redneck student replied with a nod and a grin, and began to make his way up to the podium.

When he reached the front of the room, the professor asks, 'So, Jimmy Bob, tell us what it's like to have sex with a ghost?'

Jimmy Bob replied, 'Shiiiit!! From way back there I thought you said Goats.

Hey, missed you guys, here reading and catching up.

Glad to hear everyone had a nice vacation. I wrote to Freddie on FB, he will be laid up in rehab until Oct. I don't know how he's dealing with being laid up and losing his mom, he will need special prayers to get him through this.

Hi Patsy, welcome home, sometimes they will land the plane and escort the crazies off the plane, I would have been scared, can't believe he was sitting behind you, sounds like he forgot to take his meds.
