Carries on from here

It's questionable?

I think she called you a fathead.

On the first day, God created the dog and said:

‘Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in
or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.’

The dog said: ‘That’s a long time to be barking. How about only ten
years and I’ll give you back the other ten?’

So God agreed.

On the second day, God created the monkey and said:

‘Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I’ll give
you a twenty-year life span.’

The monkey said: ‘Monkey tricks for twenty years?
That’s a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like
the Dog did?’

And God agreed.

On the third day, God created the cow and said:

‘You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer
under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer’s
family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.’

The cow said: ‘That’s kind of a tough life you want me to live for
sixty years. How about twenty and I’ll give back the other forty?’

And God agreed again.

On the fourth day, God created man and said:

‘Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I’ll give you
twenty years.’

But man said: ‘Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my
twenty,the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and
the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?’

‘Okay,’ said God, ‘You asked for it.’

So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy
ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our
family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the
grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and
bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I’m doing it
as a public service.

I got my first contract from an European Freelancing website paying in Euros!

The Kero has crossed the pond! Virtually, at least...


:D

It's a question - What made you smile today?

Otherwise it would be "This is what made you smile today."

Chez sent me to an awesome site dedicated to creating color palettes and whatnot. I spent a good section of my lunchtime collecting ideas for the house painting.
Thanks, Chezlette.

I practiced making apple pie today.

It's not that I needed practice. I make pie all the time. I've bribed many a physician with apple pie. I've taken over holiday pie baking from my father. I know how to make pie.



But I now have a more important critic...he's 7, and he likes apple pie.

The next apple pie had better be the best damn pie I've ever made.

But...that's what we write. What made us smile today.

Just seemed odd.

Never mind, carry on.

I just killed the spider that's been inhabiting my room for the past few months.

Then shouldn't it say "What made me smile today" ?

Why?

Because it could be poisonous and deadly?

But you've been safe for months.

NVM

I don't like carrying the one, I no iz good at maths.

**stares**

now I will haunt you

muahahahahahaha!

*gets slipper* >:D

:/

This is my disapproving spider look. Remember it.

I saw a story today that in Cumbria (my home county,) a seven year old boy brought a 900kg bull into a bring your pet to school day.

Makes me proud.

Sounds like that deserves posting in the News section.

Got a source?

This is more like, why am I still smiling?

I had my first official crafts fair this weekend, and sold my angels.

There was the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The good was, I made about $20/hr for the time I spent there! (Doesn't include the time it took to make everything.) I met lots of nice people, got some custom orders, got an idea of what people like, and received some great suggestions.

The bad was, we had lots of wind and we were outside! It was exciting watching angels fly around, and coming up with lots on Plan B's on the fly. I ended up tying wide ribbon around the tablecloth and table, and tucking the angels (in little plastic bags) under the ribbon 'bands' to hold them in place.

The ugly: One of my science-board displays blew over, and about 100 angels ended up in a muddy gutter. I almost had a coronary. But, they washed up nicely, are drying, and will be repackaged and hopefully sold this coming weekend. Lesson learned: only use these displays indoors.

I really enjoyed it for the most part. I'm sore from carting things around and jumping up and down to help people or rearrange things, but it's nothing a visit to my chiropractor won't cure.
