    @Garmoon ... so very true! (Off subject a bit but I see huge numbers of people in my job and it isn't uncommon to find grown adults who still suck their thumb LOL! I see it most among the welfare recipients .. I'm no sociologist so I'm at a loss to explain that worthless observation.)

    @Ireland ... now you've done it! You've got me in the mood for bacon and eggs. I've got some left over potatos for homefries ... see what you've done! Off to the kitchen I go!

    FOR GERRY1,Stress Relief

    Stress Relief

    Last week I went to a seminar called Stress and Disease by Dr. Nickolas Hall, an expert in psychobiology. He gave an example of a coping skill for job stress, which I would like to share with you. When you have had one of those "TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT" days, try this.
    On your way home after work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the section where they have thermometers. You will need to purchase a rectal thermometer made by *Q-TIP. Be very sure that you get this brand.
    When you get home, lock your doors, draw the drapes, and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed during your therapy. Change to very comfortable clothing, such as a sweat suit and lie down on your bed.
    Open the package containing the thermometer and remove the thermometer and carefully place it on the bedside table so that it will not become chipped or broken.
    Take the written material that accompanies the thermometer and as you read it you will notice in small print the statement that "every rectal thermometer made by Q-Tip is PERSONALLY tested."
    Now close your eyes and say out loud five times, " I am so glad that I do not work in quality control at the Q-Tip Company."

    Our company has always had a problem with interoffice communications. For instance, last week the Personnel Department sent around a memo on sexual harassment. Three people initialed it and six people signed up for it.

    Top 11 Reasons to Go to Work Naked

    1. Your boss is always yelling, "I wanna see your butt in here by 8:00!"
    2. Can take advantage of computer monitor radiation to work on your tan.
    3. Inventive way to finally meet that hunk in Human Resources.
    4. "I'd love to chip in, but I left my wallet in my pants."
    5. To stop those creepy guys in Marketing from looking down your blouse.
    6. You want to see if it's like the dream.
    7. So that, with a little help from Muzak, you can add "Exotic Dancer" to your exaggerated resume.
    8. People stop stealing your pens after they've seen where you keep them.
    9. Diverts attention from the fact that you also came to work drunk.
    10. Gives "bad hair day" a whole new meaning.
    11. No one steals your chair.

    @ Gerry, blitvet, rav, thanks for taking the time to be interested :D

    As AS levels are gonna get pretty hefty, ive made it so i work wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday and sunday. 5 hours a day (averaged that is..), give or take.

    Which when u think about it...is £133 a week. I believe thats about $250! Thats great for a 16 year old in full time education.

    and i can manage it too, as i have monday and tuesday nights, tuesday i have like 4 free periods (study periods instead of lessons), and saturday day time and sunday day time to do all homework.

    I think i have this year pretty sorted out :D Im happy.

    One day the sheriff sees Billy-Bob walking around town with nothing on except his boots. The sheriff says "Billy-Bob, what the heck are you doing walking around town dressed like that?"
    Billy-Bob replies "Well, Sheriff, me and Mary-Lou was down on the farm and we started a-cuddlin'. Mary-Lou said we should go in the barn and we did. Inside the barn we started a kissing and a-cuddlin' some more and things got pretty hot and heavy. Well, then Mary-Lou took off all her clothes and said that I should do the same. So, I took off all my clothes except my boots. Then Mary-Lou lay herself on the hay and said, 'Okay Billy-Bob, let's go to town!'... I guess I'm the first one here."




    Two English guys are walking down different ends of a street toward each other, and one is carrying a sack. When they meet, one says, "Hey Billbob, what'cha got in th' bag?"
    "Jus' some chickens."
    If I guesses how many they are, can I have one?"
    "Shoot, if ya guesses right and I'll give you both of them."
    "OK. Ummmmm...five?"



    A English guy named billbob came home and found his house on fire, he rushed next door, telephoned the fire department and shouted, "Hurry over here. My house is on fire!"
    "OK," replied the fireman, "how do we get there?"
    "Shucks, don't you still have those big red trucks?"



    Late one Friday afternoon, our friend Billy Hill went hunting for deer.
    "Hey ma, grab me my huntin' gun! I'm going to get me some 'o those deers!"
    Ma hands Billy a gun.
    "Billy Bob Hill, now don't go doin' somethin' stupid like shootin' yerself in the eye with that there gun!"
    "Ok Mama."
    Five hours later, Billy comes home with his deer.
    "Hey Mama, I got somethin' to tell ya!"
    "Did ya shoot yerself in the eye?"
    "No mama!"
    "Then who'd ya shoot this time? It wasn't Joe from down the street was it? Cause ifin' it was, his daddy's gonna beat your butt an' I ain't gonna stop him!"
    "No! I got the purdiest deer anybodys ever seen 'round these parts!"
    "Let me take a look at that there deer, Billy!"
    Mama Hill stares at the deer when Billy brings it in.
    "Sure has a purdy coat, don't it Ma? Darn thing sure was hard to kill though! After I shot it a few dozen times, the darn thing still didn' wanna die! So's I got up and beat it with the butt'a my gun! Hey Ma, what kinda gun is that, anyways? It's got some funny colored bullets!"
    "Oh, Billy, that ain't no huntin' gun! That's your daddy's paintin' gun!"

    As ham sandwiches go, it was perfection. A thick slab of ham, a fresh bun, crisp lettuce and plenty of expensive, light brown, gourmet mustard.
    The corners of my jaw aching in anticipation, I carried it to the picnic table in our backyard, picked it up with both hands but was stopped by my wife suddenly at my side. "Hold Johnny (our six-week-old son) while I get my sandwich," she said.
    I had him balanced between my left elbow and shoulder and was reaching again for the ham sandwich when I noticed a streak of
    mustard on my fingers.
    I love mustard. I had no napkin. I licked it off. It was not mustard.
    No man ever put a baby down faster.
    It was the first and only time I have sprinted with my tongue protruding. With a washcloth in each hand I did the sort of routine shoeshine boys do, only I did it on my tongue.
    Later my wife said, "Now you know why they call that mustard 'Poupon!'"

    GOOD MORNING BOYS AND GIRLS!!I'm stopping by to say hello! I miss you sorry guys LOL!

    SOMETHING GREAT ON THE NEWS THIS MORNING THAT YOU WON'T BELIEVE!!: It was suggest that Americans really need to cut back on beef. This was for health reasons however; it was for environmental(SP?) ones. I don't think many would argue that there is a problem with greenhouse gasses, well, the justification for the suggest about less beef was because our demand for beef obviously creates a larger population of bovines: since methane is a greenhouse gas, cows play a significant role in global warming because the fart a lot LOL!!! I will post a link if I can find one.

    this thread has a last post glitch going to the next page,
    meaning the first post of the new page will not show.
    until another poster posts.
    cheers
