Sometimes you just have to give it a little bit of time. There are several posts here daily and they can get lost...if you know what I mean. You are looking for a quick reponse and sometimes it just doesn't work like that. It doesn't mean that people don't like you or aren't supporting you. I wish I could think of something really funny right now... nope, nothing. hahahaha ... anyone else??

I get a little pickmeup every morning when I wake up on the right side of the grass.

Sorry if that doesn't work for you, or maybe it's not fast enough but there's no such thing as the "quick fix."

A 911 operator recieved a call.

The caller was frantic....
"my car...my car"
"someone broke into my car"
"they stole my stereo, my dash broad, heck...they even took
the steering wheel" "help ....help !!!!"

An officer was dispatched to the seen, with lights and siren.
The dispatcher asked if the officer needed back up.

The on seen officer replied
" never mind......it's an alki stuck in the back seat of his car"

I don't have any jokes, but I wanted to point you in the direction of the Cafe Central. There are many threads of lighthearted stuff. I've posted on a couple of them that you really don't need to "know" the people. Some are just like games where you add a post with something to keep the game going.

By the way did you get your hair cut? You mentioned that it looked nice the other day. Is that a "pick me up" for you?

Jusr got this today in an e mail...

The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.<o:p></o:p>

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.<o:p></o:p>

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the was jar was full. They agreed it was.<o:p></o:p>

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "Yes."<o:p></o:p>

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.<o:p></o:p>

"Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--- God, your family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions--- and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.<o:p></o:p>

The pebbles are the other things that matter-- your job, your house, and your car. <o:p></o:p>

The sand is everything else--- the small stuff. <o:p></o:p>

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.<o:p></o:p>

"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children.<o:p></o:p>

Take time to get medical checkups. <o:p></o:p>

Take your spouse out to dinner. <o:p></o:p>

Play another 18. <o:p></o:p>

There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. <o:p></o:p>

Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."<o:p></o:p>

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."<o:p></o:p>

Please share this with someone you care about. I JUST DID

January 30, 2004 Associated Press
At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule, and a calculator.
At a morning press conference, Attorney general John Ashcroft said he believes the man is a member of the notorious al-gebra movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.

"Al-gebra is a fearsome cult,", Ashcroft said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like "x" and "y" and refer to themselves as "unknowns", but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.

"As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, there are 3 sides to every triangle," Ashcroft declared.

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes.

"I am gratified that our government has given us a sine that it is intent on protracting us from these math-dogs who are willing to disintegrate us with calculus disregard. Murky statisticians love to inflict plane on every sphere of influence," the President said, adding: "Under the circumferences, we must differentiate their root, make our point, and draw the line."

President Bush warned, "These weapons of math instruction have the potential to decimal everything in their math on a scalene never before seen unless we become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor-in random facts of vertex."

Attorney General Ashcroft said, "As our Great Leader would say, read my ellipse. Here is one principle he is uncertainty of: though they continue to multiply, their days are numbered as the hypotenuse tightens around their necks."

Being a Dork picks me up too.
