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:-)

Friday, June 18, 2010

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!! :-)

The weeks sure do fly by.............

Well, sittin here waiting patiently for Big, Little, Brother and his Fiance to
come over to the King and Queen's castle, I decided why not try to update this thing.

Ummm, were to start.
Thursday was the Queen's Birthday, I was so pleasantly overwhelmed spending
the entire day with her and a few of our relatives that, by the end of the day we
were overly exhausted and still bubbly when we retired .

The Queen got her hair did, I went short shopping, and we celebrated with a big finale at the
end of the day.
We listened to some great music from a fantastic band that I'd have to say
"performed rather well".....



Sorry, I got excited when they played one of the songs that I had
heard a many of times on the radio:-)

Let's see, Friday, I seen ol' Snakey Snake buy my little pool.
Scared the crap outta me.
He's was just a little thing but, in my mind, he was gonna be a big thing in the near future.

I went out today to my little pool, shovel ready, and he wasn't there.
Hmmm.

Well, sorry for such a short post but the burgers are ready and my stomach is over talking
my brain.

Until next time, take care of yourselves and enjoy the sunshine when ya can!!!


Thursday, June 3, 2010

Gah!! Another week has passed...........

Well, another week has passed me by and so, on with the update.

As I last left you, I mentioned that I had another lunch date.
And as usual, it turned out to be a exciting one.
Needless to say, it only was a couple of hours that we both had the chance to catch up but,
as we both know, we only had a certain amount of time before we had to carry out our other
duties for the day.

I guess that happens to a lot of us now-a-days.
Realizing that as we look back at how we we're younger, we wished that time would hurry it's
butt up, and now that we are older we wished that time would slow it's butt down.
I had once read a quote and have heard a many of time, "whatever you do, don't wish that the time you've got, away.
Needless to say, you'll never get it back, and you'll think as time goes by, you wished
that you did have it back."

*I try not to post video's that are over 5 minutes long but, with
Pink Floyd, you might as well sit back and enjoy the ride because you never know
what your gonna get with their music videos.*




I've come across a lot to sad story's on here, meaning the web, from the deaths of Dennis Lee
Hopper to Gary Colman, to the oil spill.
I'm not one to post negativity, but, geeze man, what I have to say is by far the most common sentence
that we've all heard numerous times....
"What's the world coming to?"

I then, lean back in my chair and think to myself, a quote by Tom Bodett: “The difference
between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson
and then given a test.
In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.”

I then take a deep breath, close my eyes, and thank God that I have myself a wonderful family,
wonderful friends, and a wonderful life to live.

When I was younger (not that I'm saying that I'm not young now) I use to make my life hard
on myself, I admit. My Queen and King use to get so aggravated at me for being, so what we call "stubborn and naive."

And I can see why.
They've both put their hearts and souls together to raise the two finest kids you'll ever come across at this day-an-age.
Yes, I'm talking about my Brother and myself.
We both consider ourselves blessed enough to realize that life isn't going to be hard on us, unless we make it that way for ourselves.

Now, don't get me wrong, I could have been born anywhere else in the world.
Afghanistan, Chile, Haiti, you name it.
I thank God that he put me where I am
today.
I thank my parents for giving me the opportunity to live the most simplest life that
there is, and I thank everyone who've I came in contact with over the years for letting me
have choices to make for myself.

*Sigh*

So, if your able to take a gander at this, don't you consider yourself thankful too?

Now, on with some uplifting prospects......


I am now an official owner of the wonderful movie Alice and Wonderland!!!
Yep, just had to have it.

Glad I did too.


What's that? You haven't got a chance to see it yet???
Well then, I say get with the program you guys!!



My Queen and King did:-)
Neener, neener.

Yesterday was quite a busy day for me....
From shopping, to a little gardening, to soaking up some sun, almost drowning in my own
snot and spit, and to mowing the grounds.

*cough, cough*

Oh, yea, the drowning.....*sigh*
Ok, so as I was soaking up some Vitamin D, I happened to get a little thirsty, so I decided
after using the little purple spray bottle the my Queen bestowed upon me, I thought
as I was laying there, why not unscrew the spray trigger and take a gulp?


Needless to say, I'm now leery of gulping on my right side while laying down.

The water was quite cool, only to the fact that I place a towel over the bottle so I'm not
spraying myself with what would feel like a garden hose, that's been sitting out in the sun
all day.
With mouth full of water, I feel a trickle make it down my throat and into the wrong pipe.

So, the voyage begins.....
I start coughing, and sputtering water out of my mouth because I know
that the water I do have sitting in there, isn't going to go anywhere else but out.

While I'm trying to get my self propped up from my position, I roll to the left side and move
the blanket over towards me so I don't wind up have this big wet spot to lay in when all is
said and done.

Coughing and wheezing, I open my mouth and let the water trickle down my chin, because I can't even manage to spit it out during this process.
And all the while, I'm finding the energy to finally make it to my knees and just tell myself
"you've got to get some air, you've got to get some air."

So, while this is going on, I place my hand on the
arm rest of the chair that I drag out there thinking "what to do, what to do."

I know if I run towards the back door of the house, I'd probably pass out half way there, due to lack of oxygen. I can't yell for help because I'm stuck in the boondocks wearing only my bathing-suit,
only able to wheeze, and if I am able to yelp for help,
the only people that would come to my rescue, are 2 hillbillies who will probably be too busy doing the eye googly thing.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm sure they would help out anyway that they were
able to but, with the state that I was in, I need help then and there.
Pronto.

*Gag, gag....wheeze, wheeze...cough, cough*

What to do, what to do.

Finally, through all the snot running out of my nose and wiping it off and to what sounds like
an asthma attack.
Watery eyes and heart racing 90 miles to nothing,
I lift my hands towards the heavens above and say to myself
"a little help here would be much appreciated, my Lord."

*Wheeze, wheeze...cough, cough*
Thinking, "com'on already!!!"
"Let me inhale even the tiniest breath!!"

Prayer answered........

*Wheeze, wheeze*

Inhale, exhale, very slowly.......
Whew......
Thank you Jesus!!!

I sit back down, still in a state of panic, coughing, wiping snot from my nose, I think to myself,
I just drowned in my own snot, spit, and a mouth full of water.

Ah, the moment's I bring upon myself.....

Well, that about does it for right now, you guys.
I thank you again for checking in on me.
Despite, of the little drowning accident,
I'm all in all, doing quite well.

Until then, take care of yourselves and get out there and enjoy the weather!!!
