The (Other) End of the Internet

The other day I happened upon a list of 30 random facts that was posted at PurpleSlinky.com and found a couple of these “facts” a little hard to believe.
I’m not going to reprint the whole list here. You can click the link above for the list.
“Fact” number one on their list says,
In a lifetime, an […]

I found this and thought I’d share:
Mr. Smith goes to see his manager in his Wilmington NC real estate office.
“Boss,” he says, “we’re doing some heavy housecleaning at home tomorrow, and my wife needs me to help with the attic and the garage, moving and hauling stuff.”
“We’re shorthanded, Smith,” the boss replies. “I can’t […]

Since I can’t actually think of anything else at the moment… here’s a joke you may have already heard:
A man goes to Frederick’s of Hollywood.
He wants to buy his wife the most sheer lingerie he can find.
The woman behind the counter goes and gets an outfit.
“This is $200,” she says.
“I want one that’s more sheer,” […]

Sometimes I’d swear that other drivers are out on the road with the sole intention of seeing how high they can make my blood pressure go.
I was headed to the school to pick up Daughter Number Three for a doctor’s appointment. I was approaching the only traffic light in town. I saw the light turn […]

Yesterday afternoon or so I got an email from my little sister (I’ll bet now that she’s a grandmother she must love it when I use that phrase!) that I thought I’d share here instead of forwarding it to 26,547 people.
I would normally give credit to either the photographer, or the website where the pictures […]

After posting the picture of the poor kitten under the faucet, I had to spend a while looking around at other pictures on www.icanhascheezburger.com. I really want to know how people come up with some of the pictures there. Take this one, for example:

Do you have any clue how long I would have to stand […]

Daughter Number Three is our resident cat nut expert. She walks around carrying The Encyclopedia Of Cats most of the time. Last night, while watching a movie on television, she was lying on the floor and fell asleep using that encyclopedia as a pillow!
Given how obsessed with interested in cats she is, I really shouldn’t […]

Yesterday I got a call from my sister. Now, it isn’t unusual at all for me to get 3 or 4 emails from her every day, but an actual phone call is unusual. The really unusual part was that she called to discuss when would be a good time for her and her husband […]

One of my daughters (I’ll be nice and not specify which one) just came to me crying (literally!) about this “huge, horrible gouge” in her laptop’s screen.
I looked at it and proved my insensitivity to her terrible plight by saying, “Where? I don’t see anything”. I got accused of just trying to make her feel […]

There was a time when I used to be on top of all the newest geeky gadgets and computer-related toys. I wonder what happened. I was looking through an electronics catalog that arrived while I was bedridden these last few days and I’m seeing things like cat5 cables and KVM switches and all I can […]
