A few true stories from the U.S. of A
Think before you speak...
Here are six reasons why you should think before you speak -
the last one is great!
Have you ever spoken and wished that you could
immediately take the words back...
Here are the Testimonials of a few people who did....
FIRST TESTIMONY:
I walked into a hair salon with my husband and
three kids in tow and asked loudly,
"How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?"
I turned around and walked back out and never went back.
My husband didn't say a word...
he knew better.
SECOND TESTIMONY:
I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls.
I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using.
After browsing for several minutes,
I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen
who works at the store. He asked if he could help me.
Without thinking, I looked at him and said ,
"I think I like playing with men's balls."
THIRD TESTIMONY:
My sister and I were at the mall and
passed by a store that sold a
variety of candy and nuts.
As we were looking at the display case,
the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help
I replied, "No, I'm just looking at your nuts."
My sister started to laugh hysterically.
The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away
To this day, my sister has never let me forget.
FOURTH TESTIMONY :
While in line at the bank one afternoon,
my toddler decided to release
some pent-up energy and ran amok.
I was finally able to grab hold of
her after receiving looks of disgust
and annoyance from other patrons.
I told her that if she did not start behaving
"right now" she would be punished.
To my horror, she looked me in the eye and
said in a voice just as threatening,
"If you don't let me go right now,
I will tell Grandma that I saw you
kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!"
The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange.
Even the tellers stopped what they were doing.
I mustered up the last of my dignity and
walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow.
The last thing I heard as
the door closed behind me,
were screams of laughter.
FIFTH TESTIMONY:
Have you ever asked your child a question too many times?
My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training
and I was on him constantly
One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch
in between errands.
It was very busy, with a full dining room.
While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny,
so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter,
and she was clean.
Then I realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while.
I asked him if he needed to go, and he said "No".
I kept thinking "Oh Lord, that child has had an accident,
and I don't have any clean clothes with me."
Then I said, "Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?"
"No," he replied.
I just KNEW that he must have had an accident,
because the smell was getting worse.
So, I asked one more time,
"Danny, did you have an accident?"
This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants,
bent over, spread his cheeks and yelled
"SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!"
While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing,
he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down.
An older couple made me feel better,
thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!
LAST BUT NOT LEAST TESTIMONY:
This one had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days
and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will,
in the future, likely think before she speaks.
What happens when you predict snow, but don't get any?
We had a female news anchor who,
the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't,
turned to the weatherman and asked:
"So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?"
Not only did HE have to leave the set,
but half the crew did too, they were laughing so hard!
Now, didn't that feel good?
Pass it on to someone you know who needs a laugh,
and remember...
we all say things we don't really mean, so think before you speak!!
Oh I just love him !!! He does look like the abominable snowman!!! I think this could be a new trend!!!
Totally fabulous !!!

Hi Jodi,
I too have a freewebs website and I have also found it very temperamental. Some days are better than others.
I think sometimes it can be your computer and sometimes i think its the actual site.

Claire
WOW!!!!
I know you only think of your snow as very inconvenient Tracy but I have never seen snow like that - its amazing !!!!
We ground to a halt here when we had about 4 inches of snow
Jenny and Sam - that is so the truth. But then I think we get it so rarely people just don't know how to deal with it. I don't like driving in the snow very much!!!
Thanks again for the photo's Tracy!!! Amazing !!! 
Hugs
Claire
Its a good one!!!
How lovely, you cheered me up, are these little devils yours?
LOL Karen - I wish those little devils were mine !!!
that's so sweet of you Lynette.....we're here on site in Hanoi and just
about to operate on a poorly bear in a few minutes - so your email made
the whole vet department smile! thanks again, Jx
I'm glad it brought a smile !!!!

Kim,
You are the epitomy of the perfect looking pregnant woman and so lovely with it.
I envy you tremendously!!!
I am at the moment on a weight loss programme so that hopefully when I get to my goal weight I can get fat again !!! Just this time I hope it will be a baby rather than food!!! Its so hard to know you have to climb a mountain before you can satisfy your biological clock but I'm guessing that by working so hard for it when I get there it will feel even better!!!
Enjoy every moment and I'm looking forward to seeing more piccies!!!

Dog Pack Attacks Crocodile In Cairns
At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and
even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty.
The crocodile, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally
considered the "apex predator", can still fall victim to
implemented 'team work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social
structure and "survival of the pack mentality" bred into the
canines.
See the remarkable photograph below, courtesy of Nature Magazine.
Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the croc' preventing
it from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it
from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the
croc'.
The poopin is one of my favs!!! I was crying with laughter when I first saw these pics !!!
Got some funny looks !!!
LOL
