Whew!!!.......

Yay!!!
I made it back safely!!

Hadn't had the best of luck with the vehicles here lately.
You'd think somebody was trying to tell me something like....
"get yourself a younger one."
Thanks Dad!!

The Queen got herself a newer vehicle due to me hurting her 89 Ford Ranger's feelings.
He cried oil and antifreeze all over the parking lot of a little gas station that's a couple of
miles from the castle, I felt so bad that when I went into the gas station the second time,
I asked for a phone book to look up the nearest cavalry to haul it back home.
While it was being unloaded off the trailer,
I could hear the truck singing Poor Poor Pitiful Me by Terri Clark....



Poor Poor Truck:-/

Now, off onto better things......
I had to change the background on this thing, was kinda missing some color from the other
one but, I'll drag the other one back out when fall comes.
I was gonna do something along the lines of Halloween but, I thought it'd be too soon to change
it to that.

Oh, my Birthday?
It went well.:-)
I went to work, got a lot of Happy Birthday's from everybody, came home and shot off
some saved artillery from the 4th of July.






I was so happy the following day!!
Didn't have a hang over, was able to enjoy my day off, and got to wear my Led Zeppelin shirt
that the Queen bought for me!!!

Thanks Mom!!

On Labor Day, I did what any worker would do and went to work.
Wasn't able to go to the pool due to vehicle problems but, I did make use of the
evening......



Found out that were I work at we are
closed on Thanksgiving (I think) and Christmas Day.
I was looking at the calendar and
realized that I'm already gonna be off on these two holidays:-)
Unless, the boss want to make changes.
I'm even gonna have a 3 day mini vacation in December if all works out according to plan.
I should be off for New Years too!!

Well, that about does it for the update on my little voyage this past week.
Thanks for stopping by!!!

5 more days?!?........

Hey!! I've made it back!!
Let's see what I can come up with today.

Ozzy Osbourne with Yuto Miyazawa - "Crazy Train" @ Yahoo! Video

The mostly self-taught 10-year-old started playing guitar at age 3,
and he's obviously devoted much of his short life to his Ozzy obsession - he rehearsed for Ellen's show by running through "Mr Crowley,"
another track off the 1980 album "Blizzard of Ozz."

He's appeared on "Late Night With Conan O'Brien," shredded at Connecticut's Gathering of the Vibes festival, and jammed with legendary guitarist Les Paul on a 2008 trip to the U.S.

According to his official bio, he's also a big fan of Metallica, Eric Clapton, and Kiss.
At age 8, Miyazawa was named the youngest professional guitar player on the planet by the "Guinness Book of World Records."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

5 more days till what?!?
No way, huh uh, you've got to be kidding.

Yep, it's about that time.
The last year of my 20's has come upon me.
I knew it was gonna happen but, I didn't think that it was gonna happen this fast.

Now, I'm not gonna sit here and get all blurry eyed and have the sniffling fits.
Nope, I'm gonna wait till I'm next year to do all that.

You Know You're Getting Old When...

"Getting a little action" means you don't need to take a laxative.

Adult diapers are actually kind of convenient.

All of your favorite movies are now re-released in color.

At cafeterias, you complain that the gelatin is too tough.

Conversations with people your own age often turn into "dueling ailments."

Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.

In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.

It takes a couple of tries to get over a speed bump.

It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.

It takes twice as long to look half as good.

It's harder and harder for sexual harassment charges to stick.

Many of your co-workers were born the same year that you got your last promotion.

No one expects you to run into a burning building.

People call at 9 p.m. and ask, "Did I wake you?"

People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

Someone compliments you on your layered look.... and you're wearing a bikini.

The car that you bought brand new becomes an antique.

The clothes you've put away until they come back in style... come back in style.

The end of your tie doesn't come anywhere near the top of your pants.

The little gray-haired lady you help across the street is your wife.

The pharmacist has become you new best friend.

The twinkle in your eye is only the reflection of the sun on your bifocals.

There's nothing left to learn the hard way.

Things you buy now won't wear out.

When getting lucky means you find your car in the parking lot.

When happy hour is a nap.

When tying one on means fastening your MedicAlert bracelet.

When you are cautioned to slow down by your doctor instead of the police.

When you don't care where your wife goes, just so you don't have to go along.

When you have a choice of two temptations and you choose the one that will get you home earlier.

When you realize that caution is the only thing you care to exercise.

When you step off a curb and look down one more time to make sure that the street is still there.

When you stop buying green bananas.

When you wake up with that morning-after feeling, and you didn't do anything the night before.

When you were in school there was no history class!

When your birth certificate says expired on it.

When you're told to act your own age, and you die.

You and your teeth don't sleep together.

You are 17 around the neck, 42 around the waist, 96 around the golf course.

You are proud of your lawn mower.

You begin every other sentence with, "Nowadays..."

A lady is throwing a party
for her granddaughter, and had gone all out..... a caterer, band, and a hired clown.
Just before the party started, two bums showed up looking for a handout.
Feeling sorry for the bums, the woman told them that she would give them a meal if they will help chop some wood for her out back.
Gratefully, they headed to the rear of the house.

The guests arrived, and all was going well with the children having a wonderful time.
But the clown hadn't shown up.
After a half and hour, the clown finally called to report that he was stuck in traffic, and would probably not make the party at all.

The woman was very disappointed and unsuccessfully tried to entertain the children herself.
She happened to look out the window and saw one of the bums doing cartwheels across the lawn. She watched in awe as he swung from tree branches, did mid-air flips, and leaped high in the air.

She spoke to the other bum and said,
"What your friend is doing is absolutely marvelous.
I have never seen such a thing. Do you think your friend would consider repeating this performance for the children at the party?
I would pay him $50!"

The other bum says, "Well, I dunno. Let me ask him.
"HEY WILLIE! FOR $50, WOULD YOU CHOP OFF ANOTHER TOE?"

That about does it for right now folks.
Gotta get rested up for next week.

Thanks for stopping by:-)

Hello:-)

Well, we'll see how this color works on the eye's.
As you can tell, it's been 2 weeks since I last posted something on
here. You could say that I've been rather busy
with work an all. I managed to make it to my Brother's wedding, dump the water
outta the pool, (along with the help of my Queen) Thanks Mom!!!
Got a yellow sticker for the ride, managed to go swimming we're they have a few dragon
tails to slide on, and not to mention, forget my King and Queen's anniversary right
along with them.
They've been together for 31 years!!!
Yay!! Congratulations you two!!!

Now that the pools are about to close due to the beginning of school days and
Labor Day just around the corner, here's just a couple you might want
to splash around in.......

Bilila Lodge Kempinski opened in 2009 in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. The property features 74 guest rooms and suites, including the presidential villa (pictured) with its own infinity pool overlooking a wildlife watering hole. All rooms overlook the Serengeti plains, allowing guests to observe wild game from their private sun deck.

Le Méridien Bora Bora, in French Polynesia, is on the southern point of Motu Piti Aau, a six-mile-long island on a coral reef. The hotel has 99 bungalows, including four lagoon bungalows, 14 beach bungalows and 81 over-water bungalows with glass flooring. Recent renovations added a new infinity pool beneath the Miki Miki bar. The pool is more than 2,000 square feet and has a Jacuzzi, waterfall and deck. The pool overlooks Otemanu Mountain and a lagoon containing more than 100 species, including the endangered hawksbill turtle.

When you do the breaststroke in the main infinity pool at Ubud Hanging Gardens in Bali, you look up at a jungle filled with monkeys, butterflies and exotic birds. You will also have the perfect view of a Balinese temple among the trees. For a special treat, book a room in one of the 38 pool villas, and you’ll have your own private infinity pool a few steps from your dwelling.

The Gansevoort Turks + Caicos, a 91-room resort, has an open-air lobby that overlooks a 7,000-square-foot infinity pool with a view of Grace Bay. The pool has four floating islands with umbrellas and lounge chairs that must be reserved in advance. The pool staff is standing by to bring you refreshments. The resort also features yoga and wellness classes, a fitness center and spa, snorkeling equipment, kayaks and Hobie Wave beach catamarans.

The Burj Al Arab, a hotel designed to resemble a mammoth sailboat, sits perched on the Dubai coastline. For an exquisite view of the Persian Gulf, guests can visit the infinity pool on the 18th floor of the hotel in the Assawan Spa & Health Club. If it’s luxury you seek, check into the spa for a caviar facial or body scrub.

Hmmm, I think I'll go swimming today if the weather will let me.
We've got a 20% chance of rain.
Probably won't see a drop of it but, I've been known to be wrong a few times.

Did you see the cub who got his head stuck in a jar???

OCALA, Fla. – A black bear cub in Florida affectionately known as "Jar head" can finally enjoy a good meal.

A clear plastic container was removed from the 6-month-old cub's head after being stuck for at least 10 days. The cub poked its head into the jar when digging through trash in a neighborhood in central Florida.

Biologists say the cub was days away from death because the jar made it impossible to eat or drink. The team had to tranquilize the mother bear and then grab the cub to remove the jar from the bear's head.

The subdued mother was then put in a trap and the cubs followed. After she awoke and nursed the cubs, the bears were moved to a less populated area nearby.

Wow!!
10 days his head was stuck in a jar.
Wonder if Pooh Bear is related to him.

Let's see what else I can manage to dig up here.......

Post adapted its process for enclosing food in foil to keep it fresh without spoiling—first used for dog food—to its new toaster-prepared breakfast food. Intended to complement its cold cereals, Post announced its new product in 1963 to the press, giving them the name "Country Squares".

Originally not frosted when first introduced in 1964, it was later proved that frosting could survive the toaster, and the first frosted Pop-Tarts were officially released in 1967. The first Pop-Tarts came out in four different flavors: strawberry, blueberry, brown sugar cinnamon, and apple currant. Today, there are a wide variety of Pop-Tart flavors, including Chocolate Chip, S'mores, Raspberry, French Toast and Ginger Bread.

Pop-Tarts are Kellogg's most popular brand to date in the United States, with millions of Pop-Tarts sold each year. They are distributed mainly in the United States, but also in Canada. They can also be found in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Pop-Tarts were discontinued in Australia in 2005 and are now found only in import stores.

Used as dog food????

I guess that's why Mom would feed them to me and brother.
(Kinda along the lines of a dog biscuit.)

That about does it folks. Been awake for awhile now and managed to drink a couple
cups of coffee, eat S'more pop-tarts, and make myself tired.

Until then, take care of yourselves, stay hydrated, and enjoy your Sunday!!!

The Zombies are really among us........

Gah!!
And to think that I know my King feels like a zombie right now, putting in extra hours of
ruling, I hope that he doesn't transform into one of these guys.
Although, I gotta say, some of the women look alright for being one. :-P

Brains!!!......

She knows your human.....

You can tell he really wanted his picture took....

He's just now figuring it out.....

Can somebody give this woman a manicure, please.......

My Brother's wedding is coming up. Today marks the 9th day till he turns himself into
a.......Zombie!!!
Lol!!
No, no......he's gonna be a husband to a very lovely girl that is not only smart but,
very down to earth, has a good future ahead of her, and I'm glad to say that she's a keeper.
I've only met her a handful of times, and from what I can tell, my Brother and her make
not only a good looking couple but, a fantastic duo as well.

Now, I can sit here and go on and on about these two but, I'll just sum it up in a few kind words....
They're happy together, their happy apart, they love each other, and have heard
one another fart.
I know they have.

I'm proud of my Brother and the all the accomplishment that he's done in his life.
And to go on typing about the achievements and blessings that he's done throughout the years, will it not only pull at my heart strings but, will also turn on the faucets until I'll literally have to stand up and grab the roll of toilet paper (due to sinus and chest congestion).

I'm so happy for him that when I get opportunities to see him, I have to restrain myself from showing emotions that seem too flaky to either one of us.
For instance: jumping on him and giving him a noogy.
He's also taller than me and built stout so you can just imagine a spider-monkey jumping on top of a silver-back gorilla.

Instead, we just give each other a hug like these two........




Well, that about sums it up for what's going on in my little world.
I hope that everything's going alright in yours.
I gotta get ready for today. Wonder what's in store.
A nap most definitely but, I think I'll jump in shower first and eat a poptart.

Till then, take care of yourselves and have a wonderful day!! :-)

Hey!!! Looky at what I found!!.......

Alright y!!!
How many of you have played an instrument or just drummed your fingers on a table?
*raised hand*
Tried to compose your own music or compose a song you've heard?

Here's the deal.....
I went searching for a new gadget to add for the bottom of the screen and came
across a guitar.:-)

It's made my day so far:-P
To activate it, take your mouse and click of the letters icon.
Then, just start typing the letters that see to listen to yourself play!!

Pretty neat, huh?
Now, don't spend all day on here playin around, I'm sure you've got other things to do.
Besides, you gotta share with other people too.
Sharing is caring, remember that.

And with sharing, I'm gonna share some pictures with you......

Tilt your head to the left......


The Oxford English Dictionary defines a double entendre as especially being used to “convey an indelicate meaning”. It is often used to express potentially offensive opinions without the risks of explicitly doing so.
“A double entendre is a figure of speech in which a spoken phrase is devised to be understood in either of two ways.
Often the first meaning is straightforward, while the second meaning is less so: often risque, inappropriate, or ironic.
A double entendre may exploit puns to convey the second meaning. Double entendres tend to rely more on multiple meanings of words, or different interpretations of the same primary meaning; they often exploit ambiguity and may be used to introduce it deliberately in a text.”
All of these photos have double meanings.

I'll try to keep in mind that you've probably seen a few of these before.




Reach for the sky!!!





Back to the dog house, Mister.




XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Here's a couple of jokes that I came across......

A new pastor was visiting the homes of his parishioners.

At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door.

When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, Genesis 3:10."

Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter.

Revelation 3:20 begins "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid, for I was naked."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A Minnesota couple decided to vacation to Florida during the winter. They planned to stay at the very same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday. His wife would fly down the following day.

The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an e-mail to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her e-mail address, and without realizing his error, he sent the e-mail.

Meanwhile.....somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister of many years who was called home to glory following a sudden heart attack. The widow decided to check her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she fainted.

The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: 16 May 2003
I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send e-mails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your journey is not as uneventful as mine was.
P.S. Sure is hot down here!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Well, that about does it for today, folks.
Thanks for stopping by!!!

Until then, take care of yourselves!!!

Ohh, what a pretty background.........

We'll try this background for a little bit and see how it goes.

Hello, Good Morning!!!

*may not be suitable for some*


Did-cha miss me??

I really hadn't been keeping up with this like some of you would like me too but, give me a few
days or weeks and I'll come back around.

Been a little busy body here for the last few weeks and I honestly hadn't made the time to
sit and and type a few lines.

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Independence day.
Me, the King, and Queen did:-)
Even tho we didn't celebrate on the 4th like everyone else did, we did get to celebrate.

Here's a few pic's.......



My favorite color smoke bomb!!!

Hamburgers on tha grill!!

Yeller smoke bomb!!

Few cheeseburgers!!!

This one was really pretty:-)

A Golden Fountain!!!

:-)

And guess what?
I still got 10 artillery shells left (we really like 'em), a couple of fountains, smoke bombs (fights of mosquitoes), and sparklers!!!
I'ma gonna save 'em fo my birthday:-)

Probably freak out the neighbors and their dogs.:-P

*suitable for all*


And no, I won't worry about freakin them out when I go to set them off either.

Now, seeing as to how it's cloudy, (once again, on my day off) I guess I can rummage around here
and come up with a thing or two that makes us go hmmmm......

*suitable for all*



Do you believe in ghosts???

Legend has it Lincoln saw his fate before he was assassinated. He reported a dream to his cabinet in which he wandered into a funeral at the white house, and when he inquired of one of the mourners who had died, the man responded “The President… he was killed by an assassin.”

Lincoln’s ghost has been spotted by many visitors and residents of the white house, among them First Lady Grace Coolidge, Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, and even Winston Churchill, who of course had something clever to say on the occasion. He claimed to be fresh from the bath, in the nude (what an image!) walking into the bedroom when he saw Lincoln standing near the fireplace. He quipped “Good evening, Mr. President. You seem to have me at a disadvantage.”, after which Lincoln smiled softly and disappeared.



Legend has it Chloe was a slave in the house of the Myrtles Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana who had a bad habit of listening at keyholes to the goings on of the residents. Caught one day in the act by the Master of the house, he lopped off her ear as punishment, forcing her to wear a green scarf over her head to cover the wound. As punishment, she baked a cake with oleander leaves, a common plant in the south that is immensely poisonous. Though the master of the house was her target, her victims became his wife and two daughters, who died in agony a couple days after eating the cake. Chloe fled the house and was lynched by field slaves on the plantation for the wicked light she cast on the rest of them.

Fortunately or no, there is no historical evidence to back up this story, just an intriguing photo. True or not (probably not), there are certainly plenty of other ghosts to keep you company, including a young girl frequently spotted in a mirror on the stairs, and another young girl who chants voodoo over people who dare to sleep in her room. The Myrtles is currently a Bed and Breakfast
that gives regular tours to those curious enough to want to see the house- just not alone after dark.



Hmm......

See the guy behind him??

There aint no way to photo shop these...

Who woulda thought??

*Rubs side of face*
Interesting.....

Ok, folks.
That about does it for me today.

I gotta take a nap!!

Until then, I thank you for stopping by and ya know what to do:-)

Yay!! It's Friday.........

And so, another fabulous Friday has rolled around.
I've been busy with the what not's here and there and it just seems like the days
are flying by.
Not to mention that Christmas is just around the corner but, I'm a gonna enjoy the summer while it's here for right now.

I've been a little busy for the last week or so.
From going to the park on King's Day (Father's Day) to getting into the groove of mowing the grounds for my
King. Oh, and lets not forget about basking in the sun on my days off from work.:-)

What do ya expect??
I'm gonna enjoy the weather as much as I possibly can!!
It's Summertime!!!

Not to mention, I'm still young and I need to do things that my body will let me do at this
day-n-age.




I asked my Queen on her birthday as we were cruising down the streets,
"how old do feel?"
She replied in her ever so modestly way "I have good days where I feel 10 years younger, bad
days where I feel 10 years older."

I honestly have to say, I know the same feeling.
Let's not forget that I'm close to knocking on the 30 door.

Gah, I'll wait till next year to start talking about that.

Have ya seen the new movies that are coming out??
Gotta love the Summertime movies!!

Here's just a few......






Well, that about does it for the updates on things that are going on around me.

Hmm, oh, today marks the 1 year death of Michael Jackson.
Wow, it just seemed like yesterday that he and Farrah passed away doesn't it??

See, now ya understand about the time flying, don't-cha?

Now, back to Michael Jackson.
I grew up listening to this guy.
So, for all you hater's out there, pipe it down for a couple of minutes.

I remember riding around in the back seat with my King and Queen while we were reaching our
destination and one of Michael Jackson's songs started to play on the radio.

Don't laugh.......



Believe me, I was singing right along with the song too!!

And don't just sit there and tell me you weren't tapping your foot or fingers either.

Well, that about does it for today, you guys!!
Can't go spending the day sitting here while the sun is shining and I've got things to do:-)

So, I'm gonna beat it on outta here:-P

Until then, take care of yourselves and thanks again for stopping by!! :-)
