HAPPY BIRTHDAY EM! HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY.

In all reality. You can be pulled over for going 1 mph over the posted limit. But most Law Enforcement give that 5 mph grace.

Valid point, MikeL. I've got one I haven't used in a couple of years now. Didn't really need it. I normally use cruise control on the hi-way and set it for 5 mph over the posted limit and I haven't been stopped yet. A lot of the construction zones where they use those orange and black light signs have a radar unit installed on them that will set the detectors off. That's nice. As your driving along, you tend to not have your mind on the road completely. The beeping detector going off, brings you back to reality, even the false alarms.

I shower. Besides, showering uses less water, most of the time. I have a shower stick that I use sometimes. It feels so good just to stand there and have the hot water hitting my back. The pressure created by the pin hole size jets is enough to have tight muscles relaxed quickly. You do have to be careful how you position it though. Where it can make one part of you body feel better, it can other parts hurt.

Here's a little something for our Vikings friends, and a certain author. BAD NANNY: When a woman dropped her Chevy Malibu off at a repair shop in Winona, Minn., she told the mechanic, "Oh, by the way, I have a goat in my trunk." James Prusci figured he didn't hear her right. "A what?" he asked. "Yes, a goat. And it's alive," she said, and left the shop. "We cracked open the trunk, you know, so it could breathe," Prusci said. The goat -- painted purple and gold, the colors for the Minnesota Vikings -- had a number "4" shaved in its sides. The jersey of Brett Favre, who is playing for the Vikings after un-retiring again, bears the number 4. Prusci called animal control for advice, and they sent the police. Prosecutors are considering charges against Janelle Riopel, 21, for animal mistreatment, and a local farmer has adopted the goat. (Winona Daily News) ...Riopel may have made a goat out of Brett Farve, but she made an ass out of herself.

Then we have this that our goat has done.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MEEKO

Who says we haven't already?

Dream on Froggy. You've got your work cut out for you. I'm half way thru Jake and I've seen some questionable content.

Since this topic involves an area of the male human body, be sure to check out EmulatedLoves Fall Anthology entry Neoplasia. It's the story of a teen going thru the turmoil of Testicular Cancer.

Even we editors make the occasional spelling error.

Payton's not too bad to look at either.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OH WILDONE!!

Something that I'm going to throw into the mix is body language. Don't sit or stand around with your arms crossed. People can take this as a sign to stay away.

The Colts beat Miami. Just goes to show that a team that dominates the clock can still be beat.

I've been to two pro games so far in my life time. Both games involved the Steelers. I think they would pay me to stay away from their games as they lost both times.

I'm a Colt's fan living in Eagle country so needless to day, I'm not too popular. At least I can hold my head up and smile when I remind people here, that in the six meetings between the Colts and Eagles, the Eagles haven't beaten them once.

What Mark says is true. The Moderating Team does not police the blogs like they do the Forums. A blogger can pretty much say what they want in their own BLOG within reason. This doesn't mean that you can post derogatory statements about another member and start flame wars. Each blog entry has four options, delete, edit, reply, and report. Admin has a few other choices. If a blog is reported, it will be looked into, discussed, and action taken where needed. And as Phantom pointed out, just because a member has a Mod or Admin tag, doesn't mean they are posting here as one, he/she is posting as a member. And since this blog was directed at a member, expect some negative comments from people.

Looks like it's time to go GOAT hunting! :ranger: :2hands:

And to think, they call it the Good Book.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONNER.

I've already taken care of it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TREBS! I hope you have a great day today.

This is something that I've meant to do for a long time now, but never got around to it. Most of you how know me, knows that I work in a County owned and operated Nursing Home. Three years ago this past August, the Administrator started a program called the Assisted Dining Program. This program is designed to help Nursing in making sure all residents are fed in a timely fashion. It was set up as a volunteer program and all Department Heads were thanked for volunteering. Yeah, you read right, we were volunteered. My boss, another person, and myself, were assigned a resident and we take turns in feeding him breakfast. Since I can't use his real name, I'll call him Al. Al has been with us for a few years. He's only about three years older than I am and from what I understand, when he was in his 20's he was in a sledding accident and sustained a head injury. As a result, he has limited use of his right side and memory loss. A typical meal conversation may include a little singing, asking me my name, a bit of the Lords Prayer, and if the door happens to be closed a little bit, he's say 'door', signifying that he wants the door opened. His most popular question is,'Where's mom and dad?' Most people will tell him that they are in Switzerland skiing, which in reality, they are no longer living. Even tho, he wouldn't know it, I don't like lieing to him, so I tell him a half-truth. I tell him that they aren't here right now. It's a bit early and they may be having breakfast somewhere. Only one time has that statement not worked. He does remember his manners, he will say excuse me and Thank You. He will also sometimes ask about his brother and sister. His sister is in at least twice a week to see him. Al is considered a slight choking risk so his food is pureed. I also have to add a thickening agent to his milk. It only has to be honey thick. A typical breakfast can consist of any combination of the following, prunes, prune juice, hot oatmeal or Cream of Wheat, yogurt, pancake, waffles, or french toast with syrup, and milk. Ever tried to mix syrup with pureed pancakes? It's not very easy to do. I would have enjoyed meeting Al when he was younger. From what I've seen of his pictures, he was quite good looking before the accident.
